THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of October 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), IRHYTHM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank.  This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, and replaces, the terms of (and obligations outstanding under) that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of December 4, 2015, as amended by that certain First Loan Modification Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of August 22, 2016 (as amended, the “Prior Loan Agreement”).  The parties agree that the Prior Loan Agreement is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement, and the parties agree as follows:

1ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP, provided that if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial covenant or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Borrower and Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend such covenant or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided, further, that, until so amended, (a) such covenant or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) Borrower shall provide Bank financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such financial covenant made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.  In addition, any obligations of a Person under a lease (whether existing now or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) a capital lease obligation under GAAP as in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall not be treated as a capital lease obligation solely as a result of the adoption of changes in GAAP.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial covenant calculations shall be computed with respect to Borrower only, and not on a consolidated basis. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13.  All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1Promise to Pay.  Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2Revolving Line.

(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.

2.3Letters of Credit Sublimit.

(a)As part of the Revolving Line, 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) Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000.00) minus the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services,

 

---

 

and (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), plus (ii) the cash collateral maintained in the CMMA Account.

(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 one hundred three percent (103.0%) (if the Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) or one hundred five percent (105.0%) (if the Letter of Credit is denominated in a Foreign Currency), in each case of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or estimated by Bank to become due in connection therewith, 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 Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(c)The obligation of Borrower to immediately 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, 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 in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges).

(e)To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the 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 (10.0%) 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.

2.4Cash Management Services Sublimit.  Borrower may use the Revolving Line in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000.00), minus (i) the aggregate 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 (B) the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances, minus (ii) the aggregate 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) plus (iii) the cash collateral maintained in the CMMA Account, 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”).  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.

2.5Term Loan Advance.

(a)Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Effective Date Borrower shall request and Bank shall make one (1) term loan advance available to Borrower in the original principal amount of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000.00) (the “Term Loan Advance”); provided that, the proceeds of the Term Loan Advance shall be used to repay in full Borrower’s outstanding obligations and liabilities to BioPharma Secured Investments III Holdings Cayman LP  (“BioPharma”),  including, without limitation, obligations and liabilities outstanding under the BioPharma Loan Agreement (the “BioPharma Obligations”). Any

2

 

---

 

proceeds of the Term Loan Advance remaining after payment in full of the BioPharma Obligations shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.  After repayment, the Term Loan Advance (or any portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.

(b)Interest Payments. With respect to the Term Loan Advance, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Funding Date of such Term Loan Advance and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest, in arrears, on the principal amount of the Term Loan Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.7(a)(ii).

(c)Repayment.  Commencing on November 1, 2020 and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall repay the Term Loan Advance in (i) thirty-six (36) equal consecutive monthly installments of principal, plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.7(a)(ii).  All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan Advance, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Advance, are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(d)Permitted Prepayment.  Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan Advance, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Loan Advance at least five (5) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (B) the Prepayment Fee, (C) the Final Payment and (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.  

(e)Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration.  If the Term Loan Advance is accelerated by Bank following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (ii) the Prepayment Fee, (iii) the Final Payment and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

2.6Overadvances.  If, at any time, the sum of (a) the 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), exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, plus the cash collateral maintained in the CMMA Account, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”); provided, however, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Overadvance arises solely as a result of Bank’s reduction of the Borrowing Base percentage or adjustment of Eligible Accounts criteria in accordance with the terms set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base” or “Eligible Accounts”, as applicable, in Section 13.1, and/or a change in the Letter of Credit Reserve percentage, Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to either: (x) repay an Overadvance or (y) deposit, pledge, and maintain unrestricted and unencumbered cash (subject only to Liens in favor of Bank) in an amount equal to the Overadvance in the CMMA Account (which funds shall be maintained in the CMMA Account until the Borrower provides Bank with evidence, satisfactory to Bank in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, that there has not been an Overadvance at any time during two (2) subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters).  Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

2.7Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a)Interest Rate.

(i)Advances.  Subject to Section 2.7(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) the Prime Rate and (B) five percent (5.00%), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.7(d) below.

(ii)Term Loan Advance.  Subject to Section 2.7(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) below the Prime Rate and (B) four and one-quarter of one percent (4.25%), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.7(d) below.

(b)Default Rate.  Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).  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 2.7(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.

(d)Payment; Interest Computation.  Interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) 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.  

2.8Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank:  

(a)Anniversary Fee.  For each twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date occurring prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fully earned, non-refundable anniversary fee (the “Anniversary Fees”) equal to fifteen-hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of the Revolving Line shall be fully earned as of the Effective Date and is due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) each such twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the termination of this Agreement or the Revolving Line, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default;

4

 

---

 

any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.  Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.8 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.9(c).  Bank shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.8.

2.9Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.  

(a)All payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due.  Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.  

(b)Bank has the exclusive right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied.  Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c)Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

2.10Withholding.

(a)Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes except as required by any law (statutory or common), treaty, rule or regulation and other than in respect of Excluded Taxes. Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank (other than in respect of Excluded Taxes), Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction (other than in respect of Excluded Taxes), Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority.  Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested by Borrower in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.  The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)Bank shall deliver to Borrower, on or about the date of this Agreement, and thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.  If any assignee of Bank’s rights under Section 12.2 of this Agreement is (i) not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC (such assignee, a “Non-U.S. Lender”), such Non-U.S. Lender shall, upon becoming party to this Agreement, to the extent that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest, deliver to Borrower a complete and properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (including all required attachments), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest, or (ii) a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC (such assignee, a “U.S. Lender”), such U.S. Lender shall, upon becoming party to this Agreement, deliver to Borrower a complete and properly executed IRS Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.  Notwithstanding Section 2.10(a) above, Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender or U.S. Lender under Section 2.10(a) if such Non-U.S. Lender or U.S. Lender fails or is unable to deliver the forms, certificates or

5

 

---

 

other evidence described in the preceding sentence, unless such non-U.S. Lender's or U.S. Lender's, as applicable, failure or inability to deliver such forms is the result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, or any change in the interpretation thereof after such Non-U.S. Lender or U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement. If a payment made to any Non-U.S. Lender under any Loan Document  would be subject to withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with such Non-U.S. Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Bank and each Non-U.S. Lender and each U.S. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(c)Borrower shall maintain a register for the recordation in book entry form of the names and addresses of all Persons holding a beneficial interest in the right to make Credit Extensions or receive amounts from Borrower in respect of prior Credit Extensions made to Borrower hereunder, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the outstanding Credit Extensions, in which each such Person has a beneficial interest from time to time (the “Register”), and Borrower shall record the name and address of each assignee of a beneficial interest under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as soon as practicably possible after receipt of written notice of such assignment by Bank.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Bank and their respective successors and assigns shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a beneficial owner of the right to receive amounts hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.   To the extent that Bank grants or sells participation rights in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under any Loan Documents, Bank shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register substantially similar in all respects to the Register (the “Participant Register”).  The Register and Participant Register is intended to cause the extensions of credit to Borrower under this Agreement to be at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such intent.

(d)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.11Waived Fee.  Bank hereby waives Borrower’s obligation to pay the Bank the Termination Fee set forth in Section 2.6(b) of the Prior Loan Agreement (the “Waived Fees”) solely as a result of Borrower’s termination of the Prior Loan Agreement in connection with this Agreement.  Bank’s waiver of Borrower’s obligation to pay such fee shall apply only to the foregoing specific Waived Fee under the Prior Loan Agreement.

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank.  Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement).

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations that, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and obligations under Bank Services Agreements which are cash collateralized or for which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute discretion) are repaid in full in cash.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations that, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and obligations under Bank Services Agreements which are cash collateralized or for which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute discretion) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.  In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations that, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and obligations under Bank Services Agreements which are cash collateralized or for which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute discretion), are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein.  In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then one hundred three percent (103.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then one hundred five percent (105.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus, in each case, 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.

4.2Priority of Security Interest.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral.  The Collateral may also be subject to Permitted Liens.  If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a value of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

4.3Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder.   Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

5REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank by Borrower, 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 by Borrower, 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 in any material respects (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).

5.12Definition 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 any Responsible Officer.

13

 

---

 

Borrower’s website address; provided, however, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in writing (which may be by electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents.

6.3Accounts Receivable.

(a)Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts.  Borrower shall deliver to Bank Borrowing Base Reports and any schedules related thereto, 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 indorsements, and copies of all credit memos.

(b)Disputes.  Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts which, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).  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 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 lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base.

(c)Collection of Accounts.  After the expiration of the Transition Period, Borrower shall direct Account Debtors of Borrower to deliver or transmit all proceeds of Accounts (other than proceeds from Governmental Account Debtors making payments under Medicare or Medicaid) into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as specified by Bank (either such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”).  In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall at all times: (i) segregate all proceeds received from Governmental Account Debtors of Borrower making payments under Medicare or Medicaid from all other Account Debtors and (ii) instruct all Governmental Account Debtors of Borrower making payments under Medicare or Medicaid to deliver or transmit all proceeds into a separate segregated deposit account at Bank (the “Governmental Collateral Account”).  Borrower hereby instructs Bank (which instructions are revocable at the election of Borrower) to sweep, on a daily basis, all amounts deposited in the Governmental Collateral Account to the Cash Collateral Account as and when funds clear and become available.  Bank agrees and confirms that Borrower will have sole dominion and “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC and the common law) over and Bank won’t have “control” over, the Governmental Collateral Account and all funds therein and the Bank disclaims any right of any nature whatsoever to control or otherwise direct or make any claims against the funds held in the Governmental Collateral Account from time to time. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall promptly (within one (1) Business Day) deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts to the Cash Collateral Account.  Subject to Bank’s right to maintain a reserve pursuant to Section 6.3(d), all amounts received in the Cash Collateral Account shall be (i) when a Streamline Period is not in effect, applied to immediately reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Line (unless Bank, in its sole discretion, at times when an Event of Default exists, elects not to so apply such amounts), or (ii) so long as no Event of Default exists, transferred on a daily basis to Borrower’s operating account with Bank when a Streamline Period is in effect. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve Borrower of its obligations hereunder).  For the avoidance of doubt, no proceeds of Accounts of any direct or indirect Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower shall be delivered or transmitted to the Cash Collateral Account.  

(d)Reserves.   Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, at times when an Event of Default exists, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts and any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account that are not applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above (including amounts otherwise

14

 

---

 

required to be transferred to Borrower’s operating account with Bank when a Streamline Period is in effect) as a reserve to be applied to any Obligations regardless of whether such Obligations are then due and payable.

(e)Returns.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) individually  or in the aggregate, other than ambulatory cardiac monitors or other medical devices returned to Borrower by customers in the ordinary course of business, 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 other than ambulatory cardiac monitors or other medical devices returned by customers in the ordinary course of business 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.  

(f)Verifications; Confirmations; Credit Quality; Notifications.  Bank may, from time to time, (i) verify and confirm 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, and notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest in such Account and/or (ii) conduct a credit check of any Account Debtor to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making direct contact with an Account Debtor.

(g)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.

6.4Reserved.

6.5Taxes; Pensions.  Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports (or validly filed extensions therefor) 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 taxes with respect to which the amount does not exceed the amount set forth in 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.

6.6Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days’ notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books.  Such inspections and audits shall be conducted no more often than twice every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall be conducted as frequently as Bank determines in its sole discretion that conditions warrant. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) 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.  In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than eight (8) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than eight (8) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.  

6.7Insurance.  

(a)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

15

form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of Borrower, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank.  All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as lender loss payee as its interests may appear.  All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured as its interest may appear.  Bank shall be named as lender loss payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the commercial general liability insurance will include Bank as an additional insured only to the extent of liabilities falling within Borrower’s indemnity obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)Ensure that proceeds payable under any insurance policy are, at Bank’s option, 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 insurance policy up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to any loss or in the aggregate for all losses under all such policies in any one year, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that any such replaced or repaired Collateral (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be 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 insurance policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

(c)At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments.  Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 6.7 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Bank, that it will give Bank twenty (20) days prior written notice (or ten (10) days prior written notice in the case of failure to pay premiums) before any such policy or policies shall be materially altered or canceled.  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.

6.8Accounts.

(a)Maintain all of its operating, depository and securities/investment accounts and the Cash Collateral Account with Bank and Bank’s Affiliates.  In addition, Borrower shall conduct all of its cash management, letters of credit, business credit cards, and merchant services banking with Bank and Bank’s Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain one or more accounts outside of Bank and Bank’s Affiliates, provided that the maximum aggregate balance in such accounts (for all such accounts together) shall not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) at any time (the “Permitted Accounts”).

(b)In addition to and without limiting the restrictions in (a), Borrower shall provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall 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.  The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) 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 and (ii) the Permitted Accounts.

6.9Financial Covenants.  Maintain one or both (it being understood and agreed that the failure to maintain both of the following will not be an Event of Default hereunder) of the following:

(b)Adjusted EBITDA.  Achieve, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter calculated on a trailing six (6) month basis, Adjusted EBITDA of at least Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00).

(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 reasonably 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.

(f)make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates.  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. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(g)apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds which constitute Collateral, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower constituting Collateral;

(h)ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.  Bank is hereby 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, 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, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank’s or Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses) for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits.  Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until the Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with Section 12.1.  Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with Section 12.1.

9.3Protective Payments.  If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral.  Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter.  No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4Application of Payments and Proceeds.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or at any time on the terms set forth in Section 6.3(c), regardless of whether an Event of Default exists), Bank shall have the right to apply in any order any funds constituting Collateral in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations.  Bank shall pay any surplus to Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.  If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

9.5Bank’s Liability for Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.  

9.7Demand 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 guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other

24

 

---

 

jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.  Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (a) more than sixty-five percent (65.0%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower in any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holdco which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter; (b) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); (c) equipment (and any accessions, attachments, replacements or improvements thereon) that is subject to a lien securing the financing of the purchase of such equipment (and any accessions, attachments, replacements or improvements thereon), provided, that, upon the release of any such lien, such equipment (and any accessions, attachments, replacements or improvements thereon) shall be deemed to be Collateral hereunder and shall be subject to the security interest granted herein, or (d) any Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property.  If a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Effective Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s security interest in such Accounts and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property.

Pursuant to the terms of a certain negative pledge arrangement with Bank, Borrower has agreed not to encumber any of its Intellectual Property without Bank’s prior written consent.
