agreed to do so subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in

loans, the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by
each of the parties hereto, the Bank, the Borrower and the Guarantors agree as
follows:


 


A G R E E M E N T


 


1.             The Line of Credit.  Subject to,
and upon the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained herein and
in the Revolving Note (as hereinafter defined), the Bank agrees to loan the
Borrower, at any time, and from time to time prior to the maturity of the
Revolving Note, such amounts as the Borrower may request, up to but not
exceeding at any time, the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Total
Commitment”); within such limits and during such period, the Borrower may
borrow, repay, and re-borrow hereunder (the “Line of Credit”).  All loans under the Line of Credit shall be
evidenced by the a Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “Revolving Note”),
substantially in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, executed by the
Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank, and bearing interest upon the
terms provided therein (but in no event to exceed the maximum non-usurious
interest rate permitted by law).  The
principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Note shall be due and payable as
provided in the Revolving Note. 
Notation by the Bank on its records shall constitute prima facie
evidence of the amount and date of any payment or borrowing thereunder.


 


(a)           Renewals and Extensions.  All
renewals, extensions, modifications and rearrangements of the Revolving Note,
if any, shall be deemed to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly,
shall be subject to the terms and provisions hereof, and the Borrower and the
Guarantors shall be deemed to have ratified, as of such renewal,


 

















 


extension,
modification or rearrangement date, all of the representations, covenants and
agreements herein set forth.


 


(b)           Letters of Credit.  Advances
under the Line of Credit may be utilized by the Borrower to fund drawings under
any Documentary or Stand-by Letters of Credit (as hereinafter defined) that are
issued by the Bank for the account of the Borrower.  In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Bank for any
such drawings, the Bank may, in its own discretion, advance funds under the
Line of Credit to fund such drawings and all such advances shall be added to
the principal amount of the Revolving Note.


 


2.             Documentary and Stand-by Letters of Credit. 
Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Bank shall (a)
from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, issue documentary or
stand-by letters of credit to Borrower’s or its subsidiaries’ vendors for the
acquisition of inventory for the Borrower or its subsidiaries (the “Inventory
Acquisition Letters of Credit”) and (b) issue a stand-by letter of credit
in an aggregate amount up to ¥400,000,000 in favor of any Japanese domestic
bank for the account of the Borrower (the “JDB Letter of Credit”) (the
Inventory Acquisition Letters of Credit and the JDB Letter of Credit are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documentary or Stand-by Letters
of Credit”).  The fees for issuance
of all Inventory Acquisition Letters of Credit shall be in accordance with the
Bank’s schedule of fees for issuance of letters of credit existing as of
the time of issuance.  No fees shall be
charged directly by the Bank to the Borrower in connection with the issuance of
the JDB Letter of Credit.  Immediately
upon issuance, the undrawn face amount of any such Documentary and Stand-by
Letters of Credit shall be considered in computing the amount of funds
available to the Borrower under the Line of Credit, as provided in Section 5
hereof.  The Bank shall not be obligated
to: (w) issue any Documentary or Stand-by Letter of Credit for the account of
the Borrower or its subsidiaries if the issuance of same would cause the
Outstanding Revolving Credit to exceed the Total Commitment; (x) issue any
Documentary or Stand-by Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is more
than one hundred eighty (180) days after the maturity date of the Revolving
Note; (y) extend the expiration date of any Documentary or Stand-by Letter of
Credit to a date that is more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the
maturity date of the Revolving Note; or (z) issue any Documentary or Stand-by
Letter of Credit if the face amount of such letter of credit, combined with the
aggregate undrawn face amount of all other Documentary and Stand-by Letters of
Credit then outstanding, would exceed $50,000,000.  If any Documentary or Stand-by Letters of Credit are outstanding
on the maturity date of the Revolving Note, the Borrower shall deposit with the
Bank, as cash collateral, an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of all
such Documentary or Stand-by Letters of Credit then outstanding (such cash
collateral to be maintained in a deposit account at the Bank pursuant to
documentation in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Borrower and the
Bank (the “Cash Collateral Account”)). 
The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Borrower, and shall
be pledged to, and subject to the control of, the Bank in a manner satisfactory
to the Bank.  The Borrower hereby pledges
and grants to the Bank a security interest in all such funds held in the Cash
Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for
the payment of any drawings under any and all such Documentary or Stand-by
Letters of Credit.

4.             Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds
of the Line of Credit shall be used for the Borrower’s working capital needs
and for general corporate purposes.  No
part of the proceeds received hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly,
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or the payment in full or in part,
of indebtedness which was incurred for the purposes of purchasing or carrying
margin of stock, as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as now or from time to time
hereinafter in effect.


 


5.             Availability.


 


(a)           Revolving Note.  The
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding under the Revolving Note, plus
one hundred percent (100%) of the face amount of the JDB Letter of Credit

which the Bank determines it could, in accordance with its practice from time
to time in the interbank foreign exchange market, convert such amount of Yen at
its spot rate of exchange in effect at approximately 8:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas
time) on the date of determination), plus one hundred percent (100%) of
the face amount of all outstanding Documentary and Stand-by Letters of Credit
(other than the JDB Letter of Credit) issued for the account of the Borrower, plus

of credit issued for the account of the Borrower, the Company or any of their

amended, modified or extended from time to time (said sum being herein referred
to as the “Outstanding Revolving Credit”), shall not at any time exceed
the Total Commitment.


 


(b)           Total Commitment Compliance. 
In the event the Outstanding Revolving Credit at any time exceeds the
Total Commitment, then, upon notice from the Bank to the Borrower, the Borrower
shall immediately make such payments to the Bank as are necessary to reduce the
Outstanding Revolving Credit to an amount such that the Outstanding Revolving
Credit is less than or equal to the Total Commitment.


 


6.             Advances.  Advances
under the Line of Credit may be made by written or facsimile request signed by
an authorized officer of the Borrower or by telephone oral request or
electronic request by an authorized officer of the Borrower (unless such
authority for telephone oral request, electronic or facsimile request is
revoked in writing by an authorized officer of the Borrower, and such
revocation is actually received by the Bank (the “Revocation”)),
provided that any such advance shall be deposited in an account of the
Borrower.  In consideration of the
Bank’s permitting the Borrower to make telephone oral requests, electronic and
facsimile requests for advances under the Revolving Note until Revocation, the
Borrower covenants and agrees to assume liability for and to protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Bank, its predecessors, agents, officers, directors,
employees, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, an “Indemnified
Party”) from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties,
claims, causes of action, costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’
fees and expenses of employees, which may be imposed, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnified Party by reason of any loss, damage or claim howsoever
arising or incurred because of or out of or in

requests, electronic requests or facsimile requests for advances under the Line
of Credit, (ii) the breach of any provisions of this Agreement by the Borrower,
(iii) the transfer of funds pursuant to such telephone oral requests,
electronic requests or facsimile requests, or (iv) any Indemnified Party’s
honoring or failing to honor any telephone oral request, electronic request or
facsimile request for any reason.  The
Bank is entitled to rely upon and act upon telephone oral requests, electronic
requests and facsimile requests made or purportedly made by any of the officers
or employees specified in the resolutions delivered to the Bank of even date
herewith, as supplemented in writing from time to time and accepted by the
Bank, and the Borrower shall be unconditionally and absolutely estopped from
denying (i) the authenticity and validity of any such transaction so acted upon
by the Bank once the Bank has advanced funds under the Line of Credit and
deposited or transferred such funds as requested in any such telephone oral
request, electronic request or facsimile request, and (ii) the Borrower’s
liability and responsibility therefore.

outstanding principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the Revolving Note
from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without notice or

portion of the principal amount of the Line of Credit so repaid or prepaid subject
to the terms and conditions the Revolving Note and this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Section 5(a) hereof).  All payments and prepayments on the Revolving Note shall be
applied first to accrued interest and then to principal in the order of
maturity.  No prepayment shall relieve the
Borrower of the obligation to pay the principal and interest on the Revolving
Note until such time as all obligations are paid in full.


 


8.             Collateral for the Loans. 
The Line of Credit shall be secured by the collateral described in the

actual or matured liability).

(c)           Any representation, statement, warranty, projection,

pursuant hereto and all of such provisions in such other instruments shall be
deemed to be cumulative of the provisions hereof to the extent such provisions
are not inconsistent herewith; or


 


(g)           The Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party to the

17.           Waiver.  No failure
to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of the Bank of any right,
power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege.  The rights and
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law or in any other agreement.


 


18.           Survival of Agreements.  All
agreements, representations and warranties herein made shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Revolving Note, and the making and renewal
thereof.


 


19.           Amendment.  This
Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by the Borrower, the
Guarantors and the Bank.


 


20.           Successors.  This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Guarantors, the Bank and the successors and assigns of each party hereto.


 


15

















 


21.           Severability.  In the case
any one or more of the provisions contained in the Loan Documents should be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in any respect, the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained therein shall not in any
way be affected thereby.


 


22.           Interest.  It is the
intention of the parties hereto to comply with the laws of the State of Texas
accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
in the Loan Documents, in no event shall said Loan Documents require the
payment or permit the collection of interest, as defined under the laws of the
State of Texas, in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws.  If any such excess of interest is contracted
for, charged or received, under the Loan Documents, or in the event the
maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Note or is accelerated
in whole or in part, or in the event that all or part of the principal or
interest of the Revolving Note shall be prepaid, so that under any of such
circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged, or received under
the Loan Documents on the amount of principal actually outstanding from time to
time thereunder shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the
laws of the State of Texas, then in any such event (a) the provisions of this
section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any other
person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment of the Revolving Note
shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is
in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be contracted for by,
charged to or received from the party obligated thereon under the laws of the
State of Texas, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be
either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount on the
Revolving Note or refunded to the person paying the same, at the holder’s
option, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced
to the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be contracted for by,
charged to or received from the party obligated thereon under the laws of the
State of Texas as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction
thereof.  It is further agreed that
without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest
contracted for, charged or received under the Loan Documents, for the purpose
of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest,
shall be made, to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, by
amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the
period of the full stated terms of the Revolving Note all interest at any time
contracted for, charged or received from the undersigned or otherwise by the
holder or holders thereof in connection with such Revolving Note.  To the extent that Chapter 1D of
Article 5069 of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes is relevant to the Bank
for the purpose of determining the maximum rate of interest, the Bank hereby
elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Article by the
weekly rate ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to Bank’s right
subsequently to change such method in accordance with applicable law, as the
same may be amended or modified from time to time.


 


23.           Participations, Etc.  The Borrower
expressly recognizes and agrees that, so long as the total indebtedness of the
Borrower to the Bank is $50,000,000 or less, upon the mutual consent of the
Borrower and the Bank (unless an Event of Default has occurred hereunder in
which case no consent of the Borrower shall be necessary), the Bank may sell to
other lenders participations in the loans incurred by the Borrower pursuant
hereto.  The Borrower expressly
recognizes and agrees that, if the total indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Bank is more than


 


16

















 


$50,000,000,
the Bank, without the consent of the Borrower, may sell to other lenders
participations in the loans incurred by the Borrower pursuant hereto.  Therefore, as security for the due payment
and performance of all indebtedness and other liabilities and obligations of
the Borrower to the Bank under the Loan Documents and any other obligation of
the Borrower to the Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and to
such lenders arising now by reason of such participations or otherwise, the
Borrower hereby grants to the Bank and to such lenders, a lien on and security
interest in any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due
from the Bank and such lenders or either or any of them to the Borrower,
whether in regular or special depository accounts or otherwise, and any and all
monies, securities and other property of the Borrower, and the proceeds thereof
now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Bank and such lenders
or either or any of them, from or for the Borrower whether for safekeeping,
custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise and any such deposit,
sums, monies securities and other property may at any time after Default be
set-off, appropriated and applied by the Bank and by such lenders, or either or
any of them, against any indebtedness, liabilities or other obligations,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or any of them,
under this Agreement, the Revolving Note, or otherwise whether or not such
indebtedness, liabilities or other obligation is then due or secured by any indebtedness,
liabilities or other obligation is then due or secured by any collateral or if
it is so secured whether or not such collateral held by the Bank or such
lenders is considered to be adequate.


 


24.           This Agreement is being executed and delivered, and is
intended to be performed in the State of Texas.  Except to the extent that the laws of the United States may apply
to the terms hereof, the substantive laws of the State of Texas shall govern
the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement.
In the event of a dispute involving this Guaranty or any other instruments
executed in connection herewith, the undersigned irrevocably agrees that venue
for such dispute shall lie in any court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County,
Texas to the extent such dispute is not resolved by binding arbitration
pursuant to the Bank’s current Arbitration Program described in paragraph 28
below.


 


25.           Judgment Currency.


 


(a)           If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Revolving
Note from a currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other
Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate of exchange
prevailing on the business day immediately preceding the day on which final
judgment is given.


 


(b)           The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum
due in the Original Currency from it to Bank hereunder or under the Revolving
Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged
only if and to the extent that on the business day following receipt by Bank of
any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency Bank may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase such amount of the Original Currency
with such Other Currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the business day
preceding the day on which the final judgment referred to


 


17

















 


in Section 25
(a) is given; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less
than the amount of the Original Currency which the Bank could have purchased at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the business day preceding the day on which
such final judgment is given, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation of
the Borrower to the Bank and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
Bank against such difference, and if the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased exceeds the amount of the Original Currency which the Bank could have
purchased at the rate of exchange prevailing on the business day preceding the
day on which such final judgment is given, Bank agrees to remit to the Borrower
such excess.


 


26.           [Intentionally Deleted]


 


27.           NOTICE:  THIS
AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE INDEBTEDNESS CONSTITUTE A
WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE
INDEBTEDNESS.


 


28.           AGREEMENT
FOR BINDING ARBITRATION.  The parties agree to be bound
by the terms and provisions of the Bank’s current Arbitration Program which is
incorporated by reference herein and is acknowledged as received by the parties
pursuant to which any and all disputes shall be resolved by mandatory binding
arbitration upon the request of any party.
