2.1                               Promise to Pay.

 

Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lenders the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions hereunder with all interest, fees and finance charges due thereon and all other Obligations as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

 

2.1.1.                                Term Loan Facility.

 

(a)                                  Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders, severally and not jointly, (i) have advanced, on October 31, 2006, the Original Term Loan Advance and agree to convert on the Closing Date all of the remaining principal balance of the Original Term Loan Advance into Term Loan Advances hereunder in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, (ii) agree to make an additional advance on the Closing Date to Borrower and (iii) an additional advance on or before the Subsequent Funding Termination Date (the advances described in (i), (ii) and (iii), each a “Term Loan Advance” and, collectively, the “Term Loan Advances”), in each case in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Term Loan Commitment according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Term Loan Commitment (based upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender).  The Term Loan Advance made on the Closing Date described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (the “Closing Date Term Loan Advance”) shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $17,600,000.  In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower, not later than Subsequent Funding Termination Date, one additional Term Loan Advance in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Term Loan Commitment (based upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender) (the “Post Closing Term Loan Advance”).  When repaid, the Term Loan Advance may not be re-borrowed.

 

(b)                                 Borrowing Procedure; Funding of Post Closing Date Term Loan Advance.

 

(i)                                     To obtain the Post Closing Term Loan Advance hereunder, Borrower will notify Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile (or by telephone, provided that such telephonic notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing, but in any event on or before the following Business Day) by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is 3 Business Days prior to the day the Post Closing Term Loan Advance is to be made (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree). Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of such written or telephonic notice believed by Agent to be from any authorized officer of Borrower.  Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any such written notice.

 

(ii)                                  Promptly after receiving a request for the Post Closing Term Loan Advance, Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents of such request and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the requested Post Closing Term Loan Advance.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall make

available to Agent its Commitment Percentage of the requested Post Closing Term Loan Advance, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, to the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the specified date.  Agent shall, unless it shall have determined that one of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2, as applicable, has not been satisfied, by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, credit the amounts received by it in like funds to Borrower by wire transfer to, unless otherwise specified in a Disbursement Letter, the following deposit account of Borrower (or such other deposit account as specified in writing by an authorized officer of Borrower and acceptable to Agent):

(iii)                               Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of the Post Closing Term Loan Advance that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Post Closing Term Loan Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to it on the date of the Post Closing Term Loan Advance in accordance with clause (ii) above, and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount for the account of Borrower on such date.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until the day such amount is repaid to Agent, at (i) in the case of Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.3(b), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a floating rate per annum equal to, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until such amount is reimbursed to Agent, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.  If such Lender shall repay such corresponding amount to Agent, the amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s loan included in the Post Closing Term Loan Advance for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2.1.2                                               Notes.  Upon request of any Lender, the Term Loan Advances of such Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) executed and delivered by Borrower.  Each Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay to such Lender the lesser of (a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Advances made by such Lender to or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement or (b) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, in each case together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.3(b).

 

2.2                               Termination of Commitment to Lend.

 

Without limiting Lenders’ other rights hereunder, each Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations shall terminate if, in Lenders’ good faith business judgment, there has been a material adverse change since July 31, 2008 in the business, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or

 

3



 

there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Agent prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

2.3                               Repayment of Credit Extensions.

 

(a)                                  Principal and Interest Payments On Payment Dates.

 

(i)                                     With respect to the (A) Closing Date Term Loan Advance, commencing on October 1, 2008 and continuing thereafter on the Payment Date of each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall make forty one (41) equal monthly payments of principal in the amount of $419,048 and one (1) final payment of principal in the amount of $419,032 on the Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date and (B) Post Closing Date Term Loan Advance, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the date of the Post Closing Date Term Loan Advance and continuing thereafter on the Payment Date of each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall make forty one (41) equal monthly payments of principal in the amount of $238,095 and one (1) final payment of principal in the amount of $238,105 on the Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date (individually, each is a “Scheduled Payment”, and collectively, the “Scheduled Payments”).  A Term Loan Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.3(c) and 2.3(d).

 

(ii)                                  Payments received after 3:00 p.m. (New York time) are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and accrued interest with respect to a Term Loan Advance is due and payable in full to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, on the earlier of (A) the first day of the forty second (42nd) month following the date such Term Loan Advance was made or (B) the date that such Term Loan Advance otherwise becomes due and payable hereunder, whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 or otherwise (the earlier of (A) or (B), the “Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date”). Without limiting the foregoing, all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Applicable Term Loan Maturity Date for the last Term Loan Advance made.

 

(b)                                 Interest Rate.

 

(i)                                     Borrower shall pay interest on each Payment Date on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan Advance until the Term Loan Advance has been paid in full, at the per annum rate of interest equal to the Basic Rate determined by Agent as of the Funding Date for each Term Loan Advance in accordance with the definition of the Basic Rate.  Interest is computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(ii)                                  Any amounts outstanding during the continuance of an Event of Default shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 5.0% above the highest interest rate otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).

 

(iii)                               In no event shall the interest charged hereunder, with respect to the notes (if any) or any other obligations of Borrower under any other Loan Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate

 

4



 

of interest payable hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable.  Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply.  In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower.  In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

 

(c)                                  Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration.  If the Term Loan is accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders an amount equal to the sum of:  (i) all payments of principal plus accrued interest due and owing on such date and not yet paid, plus (ii) all remaining payments of principal and all interest due to be paid on such principal payments in the future, plus (iii) the Final Payment, plus (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(d)                                 Permitted Prepayment of Loans.   Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least 30 days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all payments of principal plus accrued interest due and owing on such date and not yet paid, plus (B) all remaining payments of principal and all interest due to be paid on such principal payments in the future, plus (C) the Final Payment, plus (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(e)                                  Debit of Accounts.   All principal and interest payments or other amounts Borrower owes Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents due to Agent and Lenders shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s operating account specified on the EPS Setup Form. Agent will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

 

(f)                                    Payments.  All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be

 

5



 

made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.  All payments required under this Agreement are to be made to Agent to the Collection Account (defined below) for the account of Lenders.  As used herein, the term “Collection Account” means the following account of Agent (or such other account as Agent shall identify to Borrower in writing):

(g)                                 Withholdings and Increased Costs.  All payments shall be made free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges (other than taxes on the overall net income of any Lender and comparable taxes), such that Agent and Lenders will receive the entire amount of any Obligations, regardless of source of payment.  If Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the introduction of or any change in, after the date hereof, any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order reduces the rate of return on Agent or such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or increases the cost to Agent or such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term Loan Advance, then Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by Agent or such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) promptly pay to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction or for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such reduction or such increased cost submitted by Agent or such Lender (with a copy to Agent) to Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error, provided that, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to payment of any amounts under this Section 2.3(g) unless it has delivered such certificate to Borrower within 180 days after the occurrence of the changes or events giving rise to the increased costs to, or reduction in the amounts received by, Agent or such Lender.  Each Lender agrees that it shall allocate any increased costs among its customers similarly affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with such Lender’s customary practice.  This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.4                               Fees.

 

Borrower will pay to Agent:

 

(a)                                  Agency Fee.  On the Closing Date, a non-refundable agency fee in an amount equal to $200,000 for the account of Agent, which fee shall be fully earned when paid;

(e)                                  Agent Expenses and Lenders’ Expenses. All Agent Expenses and Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due.

2.6                               Amendment and Restatement; No Novation; Continuance of Security Interests.

 

This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement (other than the Original Loan Agreement Amendment Letter) effective from and after the Closing Date.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are not intended by the parties to be, and shall not constitute, a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Obligations under the Original Loan Agreement or the loan documents executed in connection therewith.  On the Closing Date, the credit facilities and the terms and conditions thereof described in the Original Loan Agreement (other than the Original Loan Agreement Amendment Letter) shall be amended and converted into the credit facilities and the terms and conditions thereof described in this Agreement, and all Term Loan Advances, other Credit Extensions and other Obligations of Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Original Loan Agreement (other than the obligations evidenced by the Original Loan Agreement Amendment Letter) shall be deemed to be Term Loan Advances, other Credit Extensions and other Obligations of Borrower outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein (such that all Original Term Loan Advances outstanding on the Closing Date shall become Term Loan Advances under this Agreement), without further action by any Person.

Except as noted on Schedule 4.1, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other similar agreement with respect to which the Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property.  Borrower shall provide written notice to Agent within 10 days of entering into or becoming bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition.  If such licenses or other agreements meet the definition of Collateral set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement, Borrower shall take such steps as Agent reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for such licenses or other agreements to be deemed “Collateral” and for Agent to have a security

interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Collateral, whether now existing or entered into in the future.

 

Borrower agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Lenders under the Code.  If the Agreement is terminated, Lenders’ and Agent’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations, Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated and Agent and Borrower have each executed a payoff letter in form and substance acceptable to Agent.  If Borrower shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code) or Letter-of-Credit Right, Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Agent and Lenders 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 satisfactory to Agent.

Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in its state of incorporation and duly qualified to do business in, and in good standing in, each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to be or do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  In connection with this Agreement, the Borrower delivered to the Agent a certificate signed by the Borrower and entitled “Perfection Certificate”.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that: (a) the Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) the Borrower is an organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that the Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as the Borrower’s mailing address if different; and (e) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to the Borrower is accurate and complete in all material respects.  If the Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify the Agent of such organizational identification number.

 

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational

 

11



 

documents, nor constitute an event of default under any Material Agreement by which Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default under any 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 the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens.  Borrower has no deposit account, other than the deposit accounts with Lenders and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Agent in connection herewith.  The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the account debtors.  The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse).  Except as hereafter disclosed to the Lenders in writing by Borrower, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate.  In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Lenders and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders.  All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

 

5.3                               Intellectual Property.

 

Borrower and its Subsidiaries solely own, or have sufficient rights to use and otherwise exercise and exploit and license all Intellectual Property necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as currently being conducted.  Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice that any current activities of any of them may violate or infringe upon the patent rights of any Person.  To the knowledge of Borrower, each Patent owned or licensed by Borrower or its Subsidiaries that is necessary or material for use in its business as currently conducted is enforceable and there is no existing or expected infringement (or challenge) by another Person of (or to) any of the Intellectual Property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  Schedule 5.3(ii) sets forth, as of August 26, 2008, (i) all domestic and foreign registered patents and patent applications of Borrower; and (ii) all domestic and foreign registered and applied for trademarks, trade names and service marks of Borrower.  Borrower has no domestic or foreign copyrights or copyright registrations, nor does Borrower use any material unregistered copyrights in the ordinary course of its business.

 

5.4                               Litigation.

 

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

 

5.5                               No Material Deterioration in Financial Statements.

 

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, delivered to Agent were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved (except in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent that they may not include footnotes, may be condensed or summary statements or may conform to the SEC’s rules and

 

12



 

instructions for Reports on Form 10-Q) and fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition as of the dates thereof and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments).  There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Agent.

 

5.6                               Solvency.

 

Based on the financial condition of Borrower as of the Closing Date, the fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

 

5.7                               Regulatory Compliance.

 

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled”  by an “investment company”, or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).  Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.  Borrower has not violated any Laws, 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 Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.  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.  Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

Neither Borrower, nor to the knowledge of Borrower, any of its Affiliates or agents acting on behalf of Borrower in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is (i) in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (ii) engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) is a Blocked Person.  Neither Borrower nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, any of its Affiliates or agents acting on behalf of Borrower in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (x) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person, or (y) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224, any similar executive order or other Anti-Terrorism Law.

All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any governmental authority to be filed by Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been filed with the appropriate governmental authority and all taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid).  Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by Borrower and its Subsidiaries from its respective employees for all periods in compliance with applicable laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective governmental authorities.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has withdrawn from participation in, or has permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower or a Subsidiary, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental authority.

 

5.10                        Full Disclosure.

 

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Agent or any Lender (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Agent or any Lender) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make any representation, warranty or other statement contained in the certificates or written statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date such written representation, warranty or other statement was made, it being recognized by Agent and Lenders 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.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues Agent 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 Agent and/or Lenders);

 

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

 

(c)                                  Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Agent considers advisable and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s for the benefit of itself and the Lenders Lien and security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders and, if requested by Agent, immediately deliver

 

23



 

the payments to Lenders in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

 

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

 

(e)                                  Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Agent or Lenders 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. Agent 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, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property solely to the extent required in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders; and

(h)                                 Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code or exercise any other right or remedy permitted hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under applicable Law.

 

9.2                               Power of Attorney.

 

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (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) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact 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 or a Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Agent and Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with

 

24



 

an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ and Agent’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

 

9.3                               Accounts, Notification and Collection.

 

In the event that an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Agent may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the amount of the Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Agent, and, if requested by Agent, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Agent in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

 

9.4                               Agent Expenses.

 

Any amounts paid by Agent as provided herein are Agent Expenses or any Lender as provided herein are Lenders’ Expenses and are immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Agent or any Lender shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s and Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default or Default.

 

9.5                               Agent’s Liability for Collateral.

 

So long as the Agent and Lenders comply with reasonable commercial lending practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral, the Agent and Lenders 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.

 

9.6                               Application of Proceeds.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a)  Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrower on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Agent and, with respect to application of payments to Lenders, in a manner consistent with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied:  first, to Agent Expenses; second, to Lenders’ Expenses; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (excluding any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fifth to any other Obligations of Borrower owing to Agent or any Lender (including without limitation interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on the Obligations). Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical

 

25



 

order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

 

9.7                               Remedies Cumulative.

 

Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default or Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and each Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any Guarantor, or against or in payment of any of the other Obligations or any other obligation owed to Agent or Lenders by Borrower or any Guarantor.

 

9.8                               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 guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

To the extent that the undertaking set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay (a) all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel to, and independent appraisers and consultants retained by Agent or any Lender) in connection with the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the performance by Agent or any Lender of its rights and remedies this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and in connection with the continued administration of this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents including: (i) any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers to and/or under this Agreement or any and all other Loan Documents and (ii) any periodic public record searches conducted by or at the request of Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, title investigations, UCC searches, fixture filing searches, judgment, pending litigation and tax lien searches and searches of applicable corporate, limited liability, partnership and related records concerning the continued existence, organization and good standing of certain Persons), (b) without limitation of the preceding clause (a), all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders (including recordation and transfer taxes) in connection with the creation, perfection and maintenance of Liens pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) without limitation of the preceding clause (a), all costs and expenses of Agent and the Lenders in connection with (i) protecting, storing, insuring, handling, maintaining or selling any Collateral; (ii) any litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement and any other Loan Document; and (iii) any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or, at the direction of Agent, any Lender may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower and any guarantor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.8                        Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.10                 Administrative Agent.

 

(a)                                  Each Lender hereby appoints GEBFS as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, under the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of the other Loan Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Section 12.10 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any Guarantor. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the other Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees. With respect to its participation in the Loan Agreement hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall unless the context clearly indicates otherwise include Agent in its individual capacity.

 

The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any duty of obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein or to otherwise perform any act or to exercise any power in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on Agent to perform any act or exercise any right or power if such

 

30



 

performance or exercise (a) would subject Agent to a tax in a jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (b) would require Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified. Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Event of Default or Default; or (f) the financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

 

Each Lender shall, in accordance with its pro rata share of the Obligations, indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or thereunder or disbursements of any kind of nature whatsoever with respect to Agent’s performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such reimbursement shall not in any respect release Borrower from any liability or obligation. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so requested by Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of Lenders unless Agent shall have been provided by

 

31



 

Lenders with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Agent’s right to indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations; or (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a responsible officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of this Agreement).

 

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such event and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such event in accordance with the terms hereof. Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

 

(b)           Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the other Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the other Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the other Lender shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor Agent is appointed as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation

 

32



 

hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

12.11      Arrangers.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PONIARD PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Washington corporation, (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of                                     , or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a “Lender”), the principal sum of $                                       or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans made by Lender to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Agreement (as hereinafter defined). All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

 

This Secured Term Promissory Note is issued pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2008, among Borrower, GE Business Financial Services Inc., as agent, the other lenders signatory thereto, and Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), is one of the Notes referred to therein, and is entitled to the benefit and security of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to therein, to which Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of all of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby were made.

 

The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Agreement. Interest thereon shall be paid until such principal amount is paid in full at such interest rates and at such times as are specified in the Agreement. The terms of the Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

All payments shall be applied in accordance with the Agreement. The acceptance by Lender of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

All amounts due hereunder, the Agreement and under the other Loan Documents are payable in the lawful currency of the United States of America. Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender to insert the date value as is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.

 

This Note is secured as provided in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and the other Loan Documents for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security interest, the terms and conditions upon which the security interest was granted and the rights of the holder of the Note in respect thereof.

 

Time is of the essence hereof.

 



 

This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 2.3 of the Agreement. After an Event of Default, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) of the Agreement.

 

Borrower and all parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, hereby waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agree to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including without limitation, the allocated costs of in-house counsel.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless such variation or modification is made in accordance with Section 12.7 of the Agreement. Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has duly executed this Note as of the date first above written.
