Agreement.
2.1.1
Revolving Advances .
(a)
Availability . Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall make Advances
not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the
Revolving Line may be repaid, and prior to the Revolving Line
Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and
conditions precedent herein.
(b)
Termination; Repayment . The Revolving Line terminates on
the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all
Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations
relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and
payable.
2.1.2 Letters
of Credit Sublimit .
(a) As
part of the Revolving Line and subject to deduction of Reserves,
Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in
Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower’s account. The
aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount utilized for the issuance of
Letters of Credit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise
available for Advances under the Revolving Line. The aggregate
Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any
Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the lesser of (A) Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000), minus (i) the sum of all
amounts used for Cash Management Services, and minus (ii) the
FX Reduction Amount, or (B) the lesser of the Revolving Line
or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding
principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for
Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the FX Reduction
Amount.
(b) If,
on the Revolving Line Maturity Date (or the effective date of any
termination of this Agreement), there are any outstanding Letters
of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank
cash
collateral in
an amount equal to 110% of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount
of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs
due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank
in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the
Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. All Letters 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 standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement
(the “ Letter of Credit Application ”). Borrower
agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the
Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further
agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the
issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for
Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any
Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and

terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of
Credit Application.
(d) Borrower
may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign
Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of
Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of
the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges

issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency,
Bank shall create a reserve (the “ Letter of Credit
Reserve ”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to
ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The
amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from
time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The
availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by
the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such
Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
2.1.3 Foreign
Exchange Sublimit . As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may
enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which
Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount
of Foreign Currency (each, a “ FX Forward Contract
”) on a specified date (the “ Settlement Date
”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at
least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and
shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each
outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “ FX Reserve
”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one
time may not exceed ten (10) times the lesser of (A) Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000), minus (i) the sum of all
amounts used for Cash Management Services, and minus (ii) the

Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any
Letter of Credit Reserve), or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line
or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding
principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for
Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the Dollar
Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit
(including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter
of Credit Reserve). The amount otherwise available for Credit
Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract
(the “ FX Reduction Amount ”). Any amounts
needed to fully reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by Borrower
in connection with FX Forward Contracts will be treated as Advances
under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest
rate applicable to Advances.
2.1.4 Cash
Management Services Sublimit . Borrower may use the Revolving
Line for Bank’s cash management services, which may include
merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card,
and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash
management services agreements (collectively, the “
Cash Management Services ”), in an aggregate amount
not to exceed the lesser of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000),
minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts
of any Advances, minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of
the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including
drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit
Reserve), and minus (iii) the FX Reduction Amount. Any
amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management
Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and
will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to
Advances.

“ Term Loan ”) available to Borrower in an
amount up to the Term Loan Amount on the Effective Date subject to

that it is indebted to Bank pursuant to certain term loans made
pursuant to a prior loan arrangement with Bank with an original
maturity date of July 1, 2012 and with a current outstanding
principal balance of Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,500)
(the “ Prior Loan Agreement ”) . Borrower

Loan hereunder shall be used to immediately repay in full all
remaining outstand principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the
Prior Term Loan, together with any additional fees associated
therewith.

as set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii) below, Borrower shall repay the
Term Loan in sixty (60) equal installments of principal (the
“ Term Loan Payment ”), beginning on
July 31, 2009. Each Term Loan Payment shall be payable on the
last Business Day of each month. Borrower’s final Term Loan
Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all
outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the
Term Loan. Once repaid, the Term Loan may not be
reborrowed.
(d)
Prepayment . Subject to the provisions of Section 12.1
hereof, the Term Loan may be prepaid prior to the Term Loan

outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any amounts
used for Cash Management Services); plus (b) the face
amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve);
plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount exceeds the lesser of
either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base (such excess amount
being an “ Overadvance ”), Borrower shall
immediately pay to Bank in cash such Overadvance. Without limiting
Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any amount of the
Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the
outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default
Rate.
2.3 Payment of
Interest on the Credit Extensions .
(i)
Advances . Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal
amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest
at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, which
interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, in accordance with
Section 2.3(f) below.
(ii)
Term Loan . Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal
amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a
floating per annum rate equal to one-half of one percentage point

from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller
increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by
Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear
interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable
to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest
rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of
any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or
remedies of Bank.
(c)
Adjustment to Interest Rate . Changes to the interest rate
of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be
effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and
to the extent of any such change.

Computation; 360-Day Year . In computing interest, the date
of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the
date of payment shall be excluded; provided , however
, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on
which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest
on such Credit Extension. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(e)
Debit of Accounts . Bank may debit any of Borrower’s
deposit accounts, including the Designated
-3-
Deposit
Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts
Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a

(f)
Interest Payment Date . Unless otherwise provided, interest
is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each
month.
(g)
Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge . Interest is
payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month. In

on account of the Obligations on the date of receipt thereof by
Bank, and Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a
“float” charge in an amount equal to two
(2) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to
the Advances, on all Payments consisting of checks and/or other
items of Payment other than wire transfers received by Bank. Said
float charge is not included in interest for purposes of computing
Minimum Monthly Interest (if any) under this Agreement. The float
charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the
month. Bank shall not, however, be required to credit
Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment
which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business

is continuing, Bank may notify any Account Debtor owing Borrower
money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify
the amount of such Eligible Account. All sales and other
transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account
shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and
governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of
any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor
whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base
Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all
signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and
agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all
such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable
in accordance with their terms.
5.4
Litigation . Except as set forth on the Perfection Certificate,
there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of
the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any individual claim
in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or two or more claims
involving One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the
aggregate.
5.5 Financial
Condition . All consolidated financial statements for Borrower
and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all
material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition
and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations as of the
dates and for the periods indicated therein. There has not been any
material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial
condition since the date of the most recent financial statements
submitted to Bank.
5.6
Solvency . The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets
(including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value
of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small
capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is
able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they
mature.
5.7 Regulatory
Compliance . Borrower is not an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its
important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under
Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).
Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of a “holding company” or a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company”
as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances
or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on its business. None of
Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or
assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best
of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing,
producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous
substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made
all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all
Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their
respective businesses as currently conducted.
5.8
Subsidiaries; Investments . Except as set forth in the
Perfection Certificate, Borrower does not own any stock,
partnership interest or other equity securities except for
Permitted Investments.
5.9 Tax
Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions . Borrower has
timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has
timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes,
assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower, other
than those that are not yet delinquent, or that are contested in
good faith as to which adequate reserves have been provided to the
extent required by law and in accordance with GAAP. Borrower may
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower
(a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by
appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement
of, and any material development in, the proceedings,
(c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent
the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from
obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a
“Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or
adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years
which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by
Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all
present pension, profit sharing and deferred
-8-
compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not
withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or
complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other
event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be
expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its
successors or any other governmental agency.
5.10 Use of
Proceeds . Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit
Extensions solely to pay off the outstanding term balance owed
under the Prior Loan Agreement, as working capital and to fund its
general business requirements and not for personal, family,
household or agricultural purposes.
5.11 Full
Disclosure . No written representation, warranty or other
statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given
to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other
statement was made, taken together with all such written
certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates
or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the
projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and
based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by such
projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or
forecasted results).
5.12
Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Loan
Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to
Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best
of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar
qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge,
after reasonable investigation, of the Responsible
Officers.
Borrower shall do
all of the following:
6.1 Government
Compliance . Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal
existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of
formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which
the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations.
Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all
laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, the
noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on
Borrower’s business.

(a) Borrower

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall be required to provide Bank with the

of each month.
(b) Within
five (5) days after filing, all reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and
8-K filed with the SEC or a link thereto on Borrower’s or
another website on the Internet.
6.3 Accounts
Receivable .
(a)
Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts .
Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of
collections, as provided in Section 6.2, on Bank’s
standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to
execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s
Lien and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor
shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific
Account affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights therein.
If requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or,
at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders,
invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping
instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other
evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of
which gave rise to such Accounts. In addition, Borrower shall
deliver to Bank, on its request, the originals of all instruments,
chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents
and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form
as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all
credit memos.
(b)
Disputes . Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all
disputes or claims relating to Accounts (i) in excess of an
aggregate amount for any Account Debtor in excess One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and (ii) in excess of an aggregate
amount for all Account Debtors of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000). Borrower may forgive (completely or partially),
compromise, or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or
agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) Borrower does
so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the
ordinary course of business, in arm’s-length transactions,
and reports the same to Bank in the regular reports provided to
Bank; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such
discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding
Advances will not exceed the Availability Amount.
(c)
Collection of Accounts . Borrower shall have the right to
collect all Accounts, unless and until a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. All payments on, and
proceeds of, Accounts shall be deposited directly by the applicable
Account Debtor into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked
account” as Bank may specify, pursuant to a blocked account
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole
discretion. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of,
Accounts in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall promptly deliver all
such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly
endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of
Section 9.4 hereof.
(d)
Returns . Provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to
Borrower, Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the reason for
such return, (ii) issue a credit memorandum to the Account
Debtor in the appropriate amount, and (iii) provide a copy of
such credit memorandum to Bank, upon request from Bank. In the
event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the
returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank
of the return of the Inventory.
-10-
(e)
Verification . Bank may, from time to time, verify
directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount
and other matters relating to the Accounts, either in the name of
Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose.
(f)
No Liability . Bank shall not be responsible or
liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or
destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which
gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay
of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle,
collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any
Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor
shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s
obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an
Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability
for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6.4 Remittance
of Proceeds . Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from
the disposition of any Collateral to Bank in the original form in
which received by Borrower not later than the following Business
Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations
pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of
the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower
in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate
purchase price of $25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any
fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds
of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property,
but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other
funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Nothing in
this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
6.5 Taxes;
Pensions; Withholding. Timely file, and require each of its
Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports
and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay,
all foreign, federal, state and local taxes , assessments,
deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any taxes contested
pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and shall deliver
to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such
payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present
pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in
accordance with their terms.
6.6 Access to
Collateral; Books and Records . At reasonable times, on one
(1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing),
Bank, or its agents, shall have the right, on an annual basis (or
more frequently at Bank’s sole discretion after a Default or
an Event of Default has occurred), to inspect the Collateral and
the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books. The foregoing
inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense, and
the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such
higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard
charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses;
provided , however , that the cost of such
inspections and audits will not exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000) in any twelve (12) month period (excluding the cost
of inspections and audits conducted after the occurrence of an
Event of Default). In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit
more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or
seeks to reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days
written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s
rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus
any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for
the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or
rescheduling.
6.7
Insurance . Keep its business and the Collateral insured for
risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s
industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance
policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that
are satisfactory to Bank. All property policies shall have a
lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an
additional lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank and
shall provide that the insurer must give Bank at least twenty
(20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to
renew its policy. All liability policies shall show, or have
endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured, and all such
policies (or the loss payable and additional insured endorsements)
shall provide that the insurer shall give Bank at least twenty
(20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to
renew its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver
certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments.
Proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Bank’s option, be
payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the
proceeds of any casualty policy up to Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) with respect to any loss, but in any event not exceeding
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate for all
losses under all casualty policies in any one year , toward
the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property;
provided that any such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be
of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and
(ii) shall be
-11-
deemed
Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security
interest, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty
policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account
of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as
required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any amount or
furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank,
Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance
policies required in this Section 6.7 and take any action
under the policies Bank deems prudent.
(a) Maintain
its and its Subsidiaries’ primary depository, operating
accounts and securities accounts with Bank and Bank’s
affiliates with all excess funds maintained at or invested through
Bank or an affiliate of Bank, which accounts shall represent at
least seventy percent (70%) of the dollar value of Borrower’s
and such Subsidiaries accounts at all financial institutions,
excluding cash collateral held at other financial institutions used
to secure letters of credit or cash held as lease deposits;
and
(b) Monthly,
within thirty (30) days after the end of each month, provide
Bank written notice of any Collateral Account established at or
with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or
Bank’s Affiliates. For any Collateral Account that Borrower
at any time maintains, Borrower shall, after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, upon the written request by Bank, in its sole
discretion, either (i) cause the applicable bank or financial
institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral
Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or
other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral
Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such Collateral Account in
accordance with the terms hereunder, which Control Agreement may
not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank; or
(ii) close such Collateral Account and transfer the proceeds
of such Collateral Account to a Collateral Account of Borrower
maintained at Bank or Bank’s Affiliates . The
provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit
accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other
employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as
such.

consolidated basis with respect to Borrower and its
Subsidiaries:

defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its material
Intellectual Property; (ii) promptly advise Bank in writing of
material infringements of its material Intellectual Property; and
(iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to

to the public without Bank’s prior written consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Provide
written notice to Bank within thirty (30) days of entering or
becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than
over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the
public). Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain
the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is
necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed
“Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest
in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by
the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or
entered into in the future, and (ii) Bank to have the ability
in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such
Collateral in accordance with Bank’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
6.11
Litigation Cooperation . From the date hereof and continuing
through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Bank,
without expense to Bank, Borrower and its officers, employees and
agents and
-12-

may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any
third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Bank with
respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower.
6.12
Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries . Notwithstanding and
without limiting the negative covenant contained in
Section 7.3 hereof, in the event Borrower or any Subsidiary
creates or acquires any Subsidiary, Borrower and such Subsidiary
shall promptly notify Bank of the creation or acquisition of such
new Subsidiary and, at Bank’s request, in its sole
discretion, take all such action as may be reasonably required by
Bank to cause each such Subsidiary to, in Bank’s sole
discretion, become a co-Borrower or guarantor under the Loan
Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in
and to the assets of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on
Exhibit A hereto); and Borrower shall, at Bank’s
request, grant and pledge to Bank a perfected security interest in
the stock, units or other evidence of ownership of each
Subsidiary.
6.13 Further
Assurances. Execute any further instruments and take further
action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue
Bank’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of
this Agreement, and deliver to Bank, within five (5) days
after the same are sent or received, copies of all correspondence,
reports, documents and other filings with any Governmental
Authority regarding compliance with or maintenance of Governmental
Approvals or Requirements of La
