Amendment to Loan Agreement

 

Borrower:

BroadVision, Inc.

 

 

Dated:

June 28, 2005

 

THIS AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”) and the borrower named above (referred to herein as the “Borrower”).

 

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 31, 2002 between Bank and Borrower, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time (referred to herein as the “Loan Agreement”).  (Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.)

 

Effective as of the date hereof, unless otherwise indicated below to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Limited Waiver.  Borrower has failed to satisfy the minimum cash covenant as set forth in Section 6.7(A) of the Loan Agreement from April 1, 2005 through and including the date hereof together with violations thereof for isolated days prior to April 1, 2005; and Borrower has further failed to satisfy the revenue financial covenant set forth in Section 6.7(B) for the period ending March 31, 2005 (collectively referred to as the “Existing Violations”). Borrower has requested that Bank waive the Events of Default arising from the Existing Violations.  Bank is agreeable to the requests of the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and therefore Bank hereby waives the Events of Default arising from the Existing Violations.  It is understood by the parties hereto, however, that such waiver does not constitute a waiver or suspension of any other provision or term of the Loan Agreement or any related document, nor an agreement to waive or suspend compliance, in the future, with any financial covenant or any other provision or term of the Loan Agreement or any related document.

 

2.             Termination of Equipment Advance Availability.  The Amendment to Loan Agreement dated June 28, 2005 by and between Bank and Borrower contained an extension of the Committed Equipment Line credit facility then having a Commitment Termination Date of February 25, 2006.  The parties hereto hereby agree that no further Equipment Advances shall be made under the Committed Equipment Line and accordingly the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed modified to be the date hereof.  All outstanding Equipment Advances shall continue to be repaid in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

3.             Modified Section 2.1.1; Elimination of Sublimits.  Effective as of July 1, 2005 and thereafter, Section 2.1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 



 

“2.1.1 Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(a)           Bank will make advances (individually referred to herein as a “Revolving Advance and collectively referred to as the “Revolving Advances”) not exceeding at any time outstanding the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount as determined from time to time being referred to as the “Formula Amount”), with it being understood that all Revolving Advances made prior to July 1, 2005 and remaining outstanding as of such date shall be subject to the Formula Amount limitation as of July 1, 2005.  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1.1 may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.  Further, as of any date, if the amount of Revolving Advances outstanding exceeds the Formula Amount, then Borrower shall immediately repay any excess to Bank.

 

(b)           Prior to the making of a Revolving Advance hereunder, (i) Borrower shall provide at least thirty days’ written notice to Bank; (ii) Bank shall conduct a Collateral audit having results acceptable to Bank; and (iii) Borrower shall provide a completed borrowing base certificate and accounts receivable and accounts payable agings, in form and substance acceptable to Bank.  Further, to obtain any Revolving Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day such Advance is to be made.  Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B.  Bank will credit Revolving Advances to Borrower’s deposit account on the Business Day a Revolving Advance is made.  Bank may make Revolving Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.  Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

 

(c)           The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Revolving Advances, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are immediately due and payable.

 

(d)           Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Revolving Line or any other credit available hereunder to Borrower will terminate if, in the Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a Material Adverse Change or there has occurred any material adverse deviation from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of the Amendment to Loan Agreement dated June 28, 2005.”

 

Further, it is hereby agreed that Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deemed of no further force or effect and that no credit accommodations under such Sections shall be extended.
