Loan and Terms Of
Payment .

exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the

amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and any amounts

transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific
time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be
made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed
by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto. Bank is authorized to make
Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received
from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer,
or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances
are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain
unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic
notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a
Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall
indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered
by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit
the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(a) to
Borrower’s deposit account.
(b)

conditions of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date, Bank agrees to issue letters of credit for the
account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and

outstanding face amount not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving
Line or the Borrowing Base provided, however, that the aggregate
face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed

of Credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank in
its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Bank’s form of standard application and letter
of credit agreement (the “Application”), which Borrower
hereby agrees to execute, including Bank’s standard
fee. On any drawn but unreimbursed Letter of Credit, the
unreimbursed amount shall be deemed an Advance under Section
2.1(a). Prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Borrower
shall secure in cash all obligations under any outstanding Letters
of Credit the duration of which extends beyond the Revolving
Maturity Date on terms acceptable to Bank. The
obligation of Borrower to reimburse Bank for drawings made under
Letters of Credit shall
be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Application, and
such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances
whatsoever. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect,
and hold Bank harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit, except
for expenses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(c)
Cash Management Sublimit . Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the availability under the
Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, Borrower may request cash
management services which may include merchant services, direct
deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing
services identified in various cash management services agreements
related to such services (the “Cash Management
Services”) by delivering to Bank such applications on
Bank’s standard forms as requested by Bank; provided,
however, that the total amount of the Cash Management Services
shall not exceed $1,000,000 less any amounts outstanding under the
Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Foreign Exchange Sublimit, and
that availability under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the
Cash Management Sublimit. In addition, Bank may, in its
sole discretion, charge as Advances any amounts that become due or
owing to Bank in connection with the Cash Management
Services. If at any time the Revolving Facility is
terminated or otherwise ceases to exist, Borrower shall immediately
secure to Bank’s satisfaction its obligations with respect to
any Cash Management Services, and, effective as of such date, the
balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates
of deposit issued by Bank in Borrower’s name (and any
interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts
payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates),
shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the
then outstanding Cash Management Services. Borrower
authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to
honor any drafts thereon or any requests by Borrower or any other
Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for
so long as the Cash Management Services continue.
(d)
Foreign Exchange Sublimit. Subject to and upon
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other agreement
that Borrower may enter into with the Bank in connection with
foreign exchange transactions (“FX Contracts”) and
subject to the availability under the Revolving Line and the
Borrowing Base, a Borrower may request Bank to enter into FX
Contracts with Borrower due not later than the Revolving Maturity
Date unless cash secured on terms satisfactory to
Bank. Borrower shall pay any standard issuance and other
fees that Bank notifies Borrower will be charged for issuing and
processing FX Contracts for a Borrower. The FX Amount
shall at all times be equal to or less than $1,000,000 minus any
amounts outstanding under the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the
Cash Management Sublimit. The “FX Amount”
shall equal the amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate
amount, in United States Dollars, of FX Contracts between Borrower
and Bank remaining outstanding as of any date of determination by
(ii) the applicable Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage as of such
date. The “Foreign Exchange Reserve
Percentage” shall be a percentage as determined by Bank, in
its sole discretion from time to time. If at any time
the Revolving Facility is terminated or otherwise ceases to exist,
Borrower shall immediately secure in cash all obligations under the
Foreign Exchange Sublimit on terms acceptable to Bank.
2.2
Overadvances . If the sum of the outstanding
Advances plus any amounts outstanding under the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, the Cash Management Sublimit and the Foreign
Exchange Sublimit exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the
Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank,
in cash, the amount of such excess. Unless otherwise
agreed by Bank, such payment shall be deemed to be made first on
account of the Advances.
2.3
Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations .
(a)
Interest Rates. Except as set forth in
Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the
outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a rate equal to two and
one-half percent (2.5%) above the Prime Rate.
(b)
Late Fee; Default Rate . If any payment is not
made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due,
Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of
(i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or
(ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under
applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest,
from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points
above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the
occurrence of the
(c)
Payments . Interest hereunder shall be due and
payable on the tenth calendar day of each month during the term
hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest,
all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in
which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the
rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid
when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations,
and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and
clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other
charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any
Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of
payment. Payments will be made via auto debit from the
Borrower’s account at Bank.
(d)
Computation . In the event the Prime Rate is
changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of
interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of
the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such
change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under
the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days
elapsed.
2.4
Crediting Payments . Prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds,
check or other item of payment to such deposit account or
Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence
of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied
to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a
payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available
federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of
payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank
after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been
received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank
under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason
of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees
or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for
the period of such extension.
2.5
Fees . Borrower shall pay to Bank the
following:
(a)
Facility Fee . On the Closing Date, a Facility
Fee equal to $25,000, which shall be nonrefundable; and
(b)
Bank Expenses . On the Closing Date, all Bank
Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses and, after the Closing Date, all
Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, as and when they are incurred by Bank.
2.6
Term . This Agreement shall become effective on
the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue
in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain
outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make
Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without
notice upon the occurrence and during the continuan
