LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

                This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank (“Bank”) whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, and INTRAWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) whose address is 25 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will borrow from Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1.             ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

                Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed in accordance with GAAP, and all calculations and determinations shall be made in accordance with GAAP.  The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules.  The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any other Loan Document.  Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in Section 13.

2.             LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1          Promise to Pay.

                Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions.

2.1.1       Equipment Advances.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to lend to Borrower equipment advances (the “Equipment Advances”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed Equipment Line.  The Equipment Advances may only be used to purchase Eligible Equipment purchased after the Effective Date.  Each Equipment Advance, when repaid, may not be re-borrowed.  Bank’s obligation to make Equipment Advances shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the Commitment Termination Date.  Each Equipment Advance shall be for an amount greater than or equal to $50,000.  The Equipment Advances shall be made during the twelve-month period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, and the proceeds thereof shall be used to reimburse Borrower for 100% of the Book Value of Eligible Equipment purchased by Borrower during such twelve-month period.

(b)           To obtain an Equipment Advance, Borrower will deliver to Bank, by 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at least one (1) Business Day before the proposed Funding Date, a completed supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Loan Supplement”) signed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee, copies of invoices for the Financed Equipment and such additional information as Bank may request.  On the Funding Date, Bank will specify in the Loan Supplement the interest rate and the Payment Dates.  If Borrower satisfies the conditions precedent for the making of the Equipment Advances specified herein, Bank will disburse such Equipment Advance by internal transfer to Borrower’s deposit account with Bank.  The Loan Supplement for each Equipment Advance shall be considered a promissory note evidencing the amounts due under such Equipment Advance.

(c)           Bank’s obligation to make the Equipment Advances will terminate if, in 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 this Agreement.

1



 

2.1.2       Term Loan.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower.  The proceeds of the Term Loan shall only be used to pay off the outstanding amounts owing by Borrower on the GATX Debt.  The Term Loan shall be made during the one-month period immediately following the Effective Date.

(b)           To obtain the Term Loan, Borrower will deliver to Bank, by 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date, a completed Loan Payment/Advance Request (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) and such additional information as Bank may reasonably request.  If Borrower satisfies the conditions precedent for the making of the Term Loan specified herein, Bank will disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan on the Funding Date (not to be unreasonably delayed) by internal transfer to Borrower’s deposit account with Bank.

2.2          Interest Rate, Payments.

2.2.1       Equipment Advances.

                (a)           Borrower will repay each of the Equipment Advances in accordance with this Section 2.2.1.  Each Equipment Advance shall amortize and be payable in equal monthly payments (each, a “Scheduled Payment”) of principal over the Repayment Period for the Equipment Advances, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Commitment Termination Date and continuing thereafter during the Repayment Period on the first day of each calendar month (each, a “Payment Date”) until the Equipment Maturity Date for the Equipment Advances, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full.  In addition, Borrower will pay accrued and unpaid interest only on each Equipment Advance on the first day of each month, commencing in the month following the Funding Date of such Equipment Advance, until Scheduled Payments commence on such Equipment Advance.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due on the next Business Day and additional interest and fees shall accrue to such date.  Payments received after 12:00 noon, Pacific Time, are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  Each Equipment Advance may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

                (b)           Each Equipment Advance will bear interest at the per annum rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus one percent (1.00%) or (ii) five and one-quarter percent (5.25%).  Any amounts outstanding during the continuance of an Event of Default shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to five percent (5.00%) in excess of the rate otherwise from time to time in effect but for the occurrence of the Event of Default.  If any change in the law increases Bank’s expenses or decreases its return from the Equipment Advances (other than a change in law that results in such increase or decrease solely because such change increases the taxes payable by Bank upon its net revenues), Borrower will pay Bank upon request the amount of such increase of expenses or an amount equal to the difference between Bank’s anticipated return from the Equipment Advances and the decreased return actually received by Bank (as the case may be).

                (c)           If the Equipment Advances are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Borrower will immediately pay to Bank, without duplication, (i) all unpaid Scheduled Payments (including principal and interest), (ii) the principal amount of all remaining Scheduled Payments, (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest, including the default rate of interest, to the date of the prepayment, and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Equipment Advances.

2.2.2       Term Loan.

                (a)           Borrower will repay the Term Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2.2.  The Term Loan shall amortize and be payable in equal monthly payments (each, a “Scheduled Payment”) of principal over the Repayment Period for the Term Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Funding Date of the Term Loan and continuing thereafter during the Repayment Period for the Term Loan on the first day of each calendar month (each, a “Payment Date”) until the Term Loan Maturity Date, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due on the next Business Day and additional interest and fees shall accrue to such date.  Payments received after 12:00 noon, Pacific Time, are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  The Term Loan may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

                (b)           The Term Loan will bear interest at the per annum rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus one percent (1.00%) or (ii) five and one-quarter percent (5.25%).  Any amounts outstanding during the continuance of an Event of Default shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to five percent (5.00%) in excess of the rate otherwise from time to time in effect but for the occurrence of the Event of Default.  If any change in the law increases Bank’s expenses or decreases its return from the Term Loan (other than a change in law that results in such increase or decrease solely because such change increases the taxes payable by Bank upon its net revenues), Borrower will pay Bank upon request the amount of such increase of expenses or an amount equal to the difference between Bank’s anticipated return from the Term Loan and the decreased return actually received by Bank (as the case may be).

                (c)           If the Term Loan is accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Borrower will immediately pay to Bank, without duplication, (i) all unpaid Scheduled Payments (including principal and interest), (ii) the principal amount of all remaining Scheduled Payments, (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest, including the default rate of interest, to the date of the prepayment, and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan.

2.3          Fees.

2.3.1       Bank Expenses.

                Borrower will pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower’s obligations to pay attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank up to the Effective Date shall be limited to $8000.00.  All Bank Expenses are due and payable upon demand from Bank.

2.3.2       Loan Fee.

                Borrower will pay Bank the Loan Fee on or before the Effective Date.

3.             CONDITIONS OF LOANS.

3.1          Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.

                Bank’s obligation to make the first Credit Extension is, in addition to the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i)    Bank shall have received the agreements, documents and fees that it requires;

3



 

(ii)   Bank shall have received from Borrower evidence satisfactory to Bank showing Bank as loss payee on all of Borrower’s insurance policies pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof;
(iii)  Borrower shall have granted to Bank a warrant to purchase that number of shares of Borrower’s preferred stock at an exercise price per share as more fully set forth in the Warrant; and
(iv)  Borrower shall have opened investment and depository accounts with Bank or an Affiliate of Bank such that Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.6 hereof.

3.2          Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.

                Bank’s obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i)    Bank shall have timely received any Loan Payment/Advance Request Form;
(ii)   Bank shall have timely received any Loan Supplement; and
(iii)  The representations and warranties in Section 5 shall be true in all material respects on the date of the Loan Payment/Advance Request Form and the Loan Supplement, and on the effective date of each Credit Extension, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension constitutes Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true in all material respects; provided, however, that as to each Credit Extension after the Effective Date any representation and warranty expressly referring to a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date only.

4.             GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.

                Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and the performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents.  Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. Bank may also deliver a notice of exclusive control, entitlement order or other instructions pursuant to a control agreement, but only after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.

5.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1          Due Organization and Authorization.

(a)           Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  Borrower is a Delaware corporation.

(b)           The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents or constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any

4



 

agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2          Collateral.

                Borrower has good title to its Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens.  The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property that is the subject of each Account has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor.  Borrower has no notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor.  All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.  Borrower owns or possesses adequate rights to use all of its respective Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its respective customers in the ordinary course of business.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Patent is valid and enforceable, no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part), and Borrower has no knowledge that any claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.3          Litigation.

                Except as shown in the Disclosure Letter, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.4          No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.

                All separate or consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects such entity’s separate and consolidated financial condition and separate and consolidated results of operations.  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.

5.5          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 contemplated in this Agreement, and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.6          Regulatory Compliance.

                Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.  Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged, as one of its material activities, in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).  Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.  Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s 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 in a legal manner in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations.  Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP.  Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained

5



 

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 its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.7          Investments.

                Borrower owns no stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.8          Full Disclosure.

                No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements 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 and forecasted results.

6.             AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

                Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:

6.1          Government Compliance.

                Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  Borrower will comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.2          Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.

(a)           Borrower will deliver to Bank:  (i) as soon as available, but no later than 30 days after the last day of each month, company-prepared unaudited balance sheets and income statements covering the operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the period, certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form acceptable to Bank; (ii) as soon as available but no later than 180 days after the last day of Borrower’s fiscal year, audited financial statements for Borrower and its Subsidiaries prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an  opinion which is unqualified (other than a “going concern” qualification) on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (iii) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $250,000 or more; (iv) as soon as available, but at least annually after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower and in all cases no later than 15 days following board approval, a copy of Borrower’s board-approved projections for the following year, and (v) prompt notice of any material change in the composition of the Intellectual Property, including any subsequent ownership right of Borrower or any Subsidiary in or to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark not shown in any intellectual property security agreement between Borrower and Bank or knowledge of an event that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of the Intellectual Property.

6



 

(b)           Within 30 days after the last day of each month, Borrower will deliver to Bank a Compliance Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, along with aged listings by invoice date of accounts receivable, all signed by a Responsible Officer.

(c)           Bank may audit the Collateral at Borrower’s expense at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.3          Inventory; Returns.

                Borrower will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free from material defects.  Returns and allowances between Borrower and its account debtors will follow Borrower’s customary practices as they exist at execution of this Agreement.  Borrower must promptly notify Bank when the aggregate value of all returns, recoveries, disputes and claims with respect to a single customer involves more than $200,000.

6.4          Taxes.

                Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state and local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good faith, with adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment.

6.5          Insurance.

                Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts as Bank may reasonably request.  Insurance policies will be in forms, with companies, and in amounts that are reasonably satisfactory to Bank.  All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss payee, all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured, and all policies will provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days notice before canceling its policy.  At Bank’s request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. 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 to the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that, at the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under any such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

6.6          Deposits.

                Borrower shall at all times maintain its primary operating and investment accounts with the Bank.  Borrower shall maintain at least 75% of its total Unrestricted Cash and mutual funds accounts in accounts with Bank or an Affiliate of Bank.

6.7          Financial Covenants.

                (a)  Borrower will maintain, as of the last day of each month, a Modified Quick Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.

                (b)  Borrower will maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and based on Borrower’s 2003 FYE, maximum Loss from Operations through the end of such period in an amount not greater than the following:

7



 

 

Period

 

Maximum Loss From Operations

 

05/29/03 - 08/28/03

 

<$1,500,000>

<$900,000>

 

11/29/03 - 02/29/04

 

<$200,000>

 

For each period thereafter, Bank shall reset the levels for maximum Loss from Operations, using the same or similar methodology as was utilized by Bank to set the levels for maximum Loss from Operations set forth above, based upon the new projections for Borrower’s fiscal year 2005 as approved by Borrower’s board of directors; provided, that if such new projections are not acceptable to Bank, Bank may reset the levels for maximum Loss from Operations based upon such other criteria as Bank may reasonably select.

6.8          Further Assurances Regarding Collateral.

                Borrower will execute all further instruments and take all further actions as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue Bank’s security interest in the Collateral and to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation providing Bank with control agreements, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, for any and all deposit and securities accounts maintained by Borrower.

7.             NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

                For so long as Bank has an obligation to lend or there are any outstanding Obligations, Borrower will not do any of the following without Bank’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld:

7.1          Dispositions.

                Borrower will not convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, except for Transfers  of:  (i) Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (ii) non-exclusive licenses, exclusive licenses for territories outside of the United States or for specified fields of use  and similar arrangements for the use of the property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (iii) worn-out or obsolete Equipment; (iv) cash or cash equivalents that otherwise comply with all terms of the Loan Documents; or (v) Transfers otherwise permitted by this Section 7.

7.2          Changes in Business, Ownership, Management or Business Locations.

                Borrower will not engage in, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in, any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or businesses reasonably related thereto.  There shall not be a Change of Control.  Borrower will not, without at least 30 days prior written notice, relocate its chief executive office or add any new offices or business locations in which Borrower maintains or stores over $100,000 in Borrower’s assets or property.

7.3          Mergers or Acquisitions.

                Borrower will not merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person unless Borrower ( or such Subsidiary, as the case may be) is the surviving entity, or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person except where the cash consideration to be paid by Borrower in all such transactions does not exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect to the transaction.  A Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Borrower, so long as Borrower remains the obligor of all Obligations.

8



 

7.4          Indebtedness.

                Borrower will not create, incur, assume or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

7.6          Distributions; Investments.

8.             EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

8.1          Payment Default.

                Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within four Business Days after their due date.  During the four Business-Day period, the failure to cure the default is not itself an Event of Default (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension during the four Business-Day period).

                There occurs (i) a material adverse change in the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (ii) a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) a material impairment to the value or priority of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral (or any material portion thereof).

8.4          Attachment.

                Any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized or levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver, and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed, or the possession by a trustee or receiver is not terminated, in 15 days; or Borrower is enjoined, restrained or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its respective businesses; or one or more judgments or other claims for more than $250,000 in the aggregate becomes a Lien on all or any portion of Borrower’s assets; or a notice of lien, levy or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within 15 days after Borrower receives notice thereof.  None of the foregoing is an Event of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension during such stay period or pending contest).

8.5          Insolvency.

                Borrower becomes insolvent or begins an Insolvency Proceeding, or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within 45 days (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed).

8.6          Other Agreements.

                There is a default in any agreement between Borrower and a third party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding $250,000 or that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

10



 

8.7          Judgments.

                A money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $250,000 is rendered against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 15 days (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension before the judgment is stayed or satisfied).

8.8          Misrepresentations.

                Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower, makes any material misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or in order to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.

9.             BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1          Rights and Remedies.

                When an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and any period for cure has expired Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a)           Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b)           Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c)           Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

(d)           Make any payments and do any acts that Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral, and in furtherance thereof: (i) Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates; (ii) Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred; and (iii) Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(e)           Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower that Bank holds, and (ii) amounts held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f)            Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell the Collateral, and in furtherance thereof: (i) Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral; and (ii) Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit in connection with the foregoing; and

(g)           Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2          Power of Attorney.

                Borrower irrevocably appoints and constitutes Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and in the name of Borrower, to do all of the following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event

11



 

of Default:  (i)  endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.  Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, are coupled with an interest and irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3          Accounts Collection.

                When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account.  Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4          Bank Expenses.

                If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies that Bank deems prudent.  Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then-applicable rate and secured by the Collateral.  No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or constitute Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5          Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

                If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it shall not be liable for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (ii) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (iii) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6          Remedies Cumulative.

                Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law and in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank, and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7          Demand Waiver.

                Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
