SUBORDINATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

1             ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.  Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP.  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.

2             LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

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

2.2          Loan Facility.

(a)          Bridge Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make an Advance of $2,000,000 constituting the full Bridge Line to Borrower within one Business Day of the Effective Date.  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.2(a) may not be prepaid, except as set forth in Section 2.5(c) hereof, or reborrowed.

(b)          Penalty Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Lender agrees to escrow $1,000,000 with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  In the event that the Penalty Loan Conditions have been satisfied prior to the Maturity Date, Lender shall make an Advance of $1,000,000 constituting the full Penalty Loan to Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.2(b) may not be prepaid or reborrowed.  At the request of Lender, the parties agree that, if acceptable to the Escrow Agent,  instead of escrowing cash with the Escrow Agent for the purpose of funding the Penalty Loan, Lender may provide a letter of credit in the face amount of $1,000,000 and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower, which letter of credit will be drawable by the Escrow Agent at any time and  upon written notice from the Borrower (with a copy to Lender) that the Penalty Loan Conditions have been satisfied prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 3.4, the Escrow Agent shall immediately draw such letter of credit and place the proceeds into escrow and, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the procedures in the Escrow Agreement, the amount so drawn will be advanced by the Escrow Agent

 


 

 

to Borrower and constitute the Penalty Loan advanced under this Agreement.  If Lender requests the option of providing the letter of credit, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to modify the Merger Agreement, Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, if necessary, to conform the mechanics of the Penalty Loan to reflect funding through a letter of credit instead of deposited cash.

(c)          Termination; Repayment.  The Bridge Line shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) ten (10) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt from Lender of a notice of acceleration of the Bridge Line following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, at which time the principal amount of the Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations (other than those relating to the Penalty Loan) or otherwise then due and owing under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable.

The Penalty Loan, if any, and Lender’s commitment to fund the Penalty Loan, shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) ten (10) Business Days following the incurrence by Borrower of Replacement Financing, at which time the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Penalty Loan or otherwise then due and owing under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable.

2.3          Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a)          Interest Rate.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), (i) the principal amount outstanding under the Bridge Line shall accrue interest at (x) a floating per annum rate equal to eight percent (8.0%) above the Prime Rate payable in cash plus (y) an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum payable in kind (“PIK Interest”) and (ii) the principal amount outstanding under the Penalty Loan shall accrue PIK Interest at a floating per annum rate equal to five percent (5.0%) above the Prime Rate.  Cash interest shall be payable quarterly in accordance with Section 2.3(d) below. In the event that, pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, Borrower is prohibited from paying any cash interest due under this Agreement, such interest shall be payable as PIK Interest (provided that if Borrower is permitted to thereafter pay interest on the Advances under the Subordination Agreement, then Borrower shall prepay within two Business Days following notice from SVB that such payments may be made the portion of the principal of the Advances constituting interest that would have been paid but was instead converted to PIK Interest).

(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 two and one half percent (2.5%) 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, Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

(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.  Cash interest is payable quarterly on the last day of each fiscal quarter.  PIK Interest shall accrue quarterly on the last day of each fiscal quarter and be added to the principal balance of the Advances.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

(e)          Spreading of Interest.  Due to irregular periodic balances of principal, the variable nature of the interest rate, or prepayment, the total interest that will accrue under this Agreement cannot be determined in advance.  Lender does not intend to contract for, charge or receive more than the maximum rate permitted by applicable state or federal law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”) or the maximum amount permitted by applicable state or federal law (the “Maximum Lawful Amount”), and to prevent such an occurrence Lender and Borrower agree that all amounts of interest, whenever contracted for, charged or received by Lender, with respect to the Obligations,

2


 

 

will be spread, prorated or allocated over the full period of time the Obligations are unpaid, including the period of any renewal or extension thereof.  If the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated for any reason whether as a result of an Event of Default or otherwise prior to the full stated term, the total amount of interest contracted for, charged or received to the time of such demand shall be spread, prorated or allocated along with any interest thereafter accruing over the full period of time that the Obligations thereafter remain unpaid for the purpose of determining if such interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount.

(f)           Excess Interest.  At maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or on earlier final payment of the Obligations, Lender shall compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Lender or payable by Borrower hereunder and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by Lender.  If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged, received by Lender, or payable by Borrower exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Lender shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance, and any such excess remaining thereafter shall be refunded to Borrower.  This provision concerning the crediting or refund of excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Borrower and Lender so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.

2.4          Fees or Premiums.  Borrower shall pay to Lender:

(a)          Prepayment Premiums.  In the event (x) Lender declares the loans due and payable in accordance with Section 9.1, (y) the loans become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 9(a), without any action by Lender, as a result of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 of the SVB Loan Facility or (z) the Advances are prepaid in full or in part (with the proceeds of the Replacement Financing or otherwise), a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the sum of (i) (A) the principal amount of the Bridge Line that is so declared due and payable, automatically due and payable, or prepaid, as the case may be, multiplied by (B) ten percent (10.0%) plus the Prime Rate on such date, multiplied by (C) the number of days remaining between the date thereof and the then scheduled Maturity Date, divided by (D) 360.

(b)          Lender Expenses.  All Lender Expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Lender); provided that all such Lender Expenses incurred through and including the Effective Date shall be limited to $50,000.

(c)          Fees Fully Earned.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Lender, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Lender pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Lender’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.

2.5          Payments; Application of Payments.

(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. Eastern time on the date when due.  Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern 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)          Lender has the exclusive right 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 Lender shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c)          Borrower may not prepay (including from proceeds of any Replacement Financing, other than a Replacement Financing that is entered into concurrently with the consummation by Borrower of a merger,

3


 

 

business combination or other principal transaction pursuant to a binding written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) the Credit Extensions on or prior to the first anniversary of this Agreement without the consent of Lender.

2.6          Withholding.  Payments received by Lender from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto).  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 Lender, 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, Lender 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 Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender 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 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 2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.7          Evidence of Debt.  Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender resulting from the Credit Extensions made by Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case Lender that does not request, pursuant to this Section 2.7, execution and delivery of a promissory note evidencing the Credit Extensions made by Lender to Borrower, such account or accounts shall be conclusive evidence of such Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, absent manifest error. Borrower agrees that, upon the request by Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) in form and substance acceptable to Lender payable to Lender in an amount equal to the Lender’s Credit Extensions evidencing the Credit Extensions made by Lender.  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Extensions. Such notations shall be conclusive evidence of the applicable Indebtedness of Borrower absent manifest error. The Note shall include the conversion provisions set forth in Section 12.15 of this Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other

5


 

 

than inchoate indemnity obligations) and the termination of Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions, Lender shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.  In the event all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are satisfied in full and Lender’s obligations to make Credit Extensions have terminated, at Borrower’s expense, Lender shall terminate the security interest granted herein.

4.2          Security Interest.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a perfected security interest in the Collateral that is (i) subordinate to the Liens securing the Indebtedness under the SVB Loan Facility, and (ii) prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Lender’s Lien under this Agreement).  If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Lender 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 Lender.

4.3          Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the Code.  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 Lender’s discretion.

5             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1          Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority.  Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Lender a completed certificate signed by each Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”).  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) 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 Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement).  If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such occurrence and provide Lender with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or (v) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material agreement by which Borrower is bound, except in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) where the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower is not in default under any

6


 

 

agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2          Collateral.  Borrower has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.  Borrower has no Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than SVB or SVB’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Lender in connection herewith and which Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Lender a perfected security interest therein, other than the Collateral Accounts that are included in the Excluded Property.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate.  None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate.  Each Patent which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

5.3          Financial Statements; Financial Condition.  All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.  There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender.

5.4          Regulatory Compliance.  Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).  Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business.  None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.  Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.

5.6          Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.  Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except (a) to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $50,000.

5.7          Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

5.8          Definition of “Knowledge.”  For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer.

6.3          Remittance of Proceeds.  Except as otherwise provided in the Subordination Agreement, deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Lender in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations (a) prior to an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5(b) hereof, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.3 hereof; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Lender the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).  Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Lender.  Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

6.4          Taxes; Pensions.  Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to Section 5.6, and shall deliver to Lender, 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.

6.5          Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books.  The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall occur as often as Lender shall determine is necessary.  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 Lender’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.  In the event Borrower and Lender schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Lender, then (without limiting any of Lender’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall pay Lender a fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender to compensate Lender for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.

6.6          Insurance.  Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location.  Insurance policies shall be in a form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of Borrower, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Lender.  At Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments.  If the Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) has been paid in full, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall cause all property policies to have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Lender as lender loss payee.  At Lender’s request, all liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Lender as an additional insured.

6.7          Operating Accounts.  For each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, at Lender’s request if the Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) has been paid in full, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to

9


 

 

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 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.

6.8          Protection and Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.

(a)          (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business; (ii) promptly advise Lender in writing of material infringements or any other event that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of its Intellectual Property; and (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Lender’s written consent.

(b)          To the extent not already disclosed in writing to Lender, if Borrower (i) obtains any Patent, registered Trademark, registered Copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise material to the conduct of its business, or (ii) applies for any Patent or the registration of any Trademark, then Borrower shall promptly but in no event later than fifteen (15) days thereafter provide written notice thereof to Lender and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Lender may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in favor of Lender in such property.  If Borrower decides to register any Copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide Lender with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Borrower’s intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Lender may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in favor of Lender in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the Copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office.  Borrower shall promptly provide to Lender copies of all applications that it files for Patents or for the registration of Trademarks, Copyrights or mask works, together with evidence of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement required for Lender to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in such property.

6.9          Litigation Cooperation.  From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Lender, without expense to Lender, Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and records, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower.

6.10        Formation or Acquisition of Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding and without limiting the negative covenants contained in Sections 7.3 and 7.6 hereof, at the time that Borrower forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the Effective Date, Borrower shall (a) in the case of the formation or acquisition of a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such new Domestic Subsidiary to provide to Lender a joinder to the Loan Agreement to cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become a co-borrower hereunder, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or Control Agreements, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (including being sufficient to grant Lender a Lien in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Domestic Subsidiary), (b) subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.10 and the Subordination Agreement, provide to Lender appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (c) provide to Lender all other documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above.  Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be a Loan Document.  Notwithstanding and without limiting the negative covenants contained in Sections 7.3 and 7.6 hereof, at the time that Borrower forms any direct or indirect Foreign Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Foreign Subsidiary after the Effective Date, Borrower shall pledge sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting equity interests and one hundred percent (100%) of outstanding non-voting equity interests of each Foreign Subsidiary directly owned by a Borrower or Subsidiary, in

10


 

 

each instance, to Lender to secure the Obligations, promptly after formation or acquisition of such Foreign Subsidiary.  Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Borrower shall cause RMG Ltd. to execute and deliver an English law mortgage debenture (substantially in the form of the English law mortgage debenture previously delivered by RMG Ltd. in favor of SVB in connection with the SVB Loan Facility, mutatis mutandis, or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender), pursuant to which RMG Ltd. will charge by way of fixed and floating charge all of RMG Ltd.’s present and future undertaking, property and assets to secure the Obligations.

6.11        Further Assurances.  Execute any further instruments and take further action as Lender reasonably requests to perfect or continue Lender’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

8.2          Covenant Default.

(a)          Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 or violates any covenant in Section 7;

(c)          Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the thirty (30) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be

12


 

 

cured within such thirty (30) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but Lender shall not be required to make any Credit Extension during the cure period).  Cure periods provided under this section shall not apply to any covenants set forth in clause (a) above;

8.3          SVB Loan Facility.  (a) There occurs an “Event of Default” as defined in the SVB Loan Facility (other than under Section 8.3, 8.5 or 8.6 thereof) and such “Event of Default” is not waived or cured pursuant to the terms thereof; or (b) there occurs an “Event of Default” under Section 8.3, 8.5 or 8.6 of the SVB Loan Facility (as in effect on the Effective Date or with such modifications as consented to by Lender), whether or not waived or cured thereunder; provided that in the event that the SVB Loan Facility is terminated or the obligations thereunder paid in full, each “Event of Default” under the SVB Loan Facility (as in effect immediately before such termination or payment in full) shall be an Event of Default hereunder; and

8.4          Merger Agreement.  Borrower shall have materially breached the Merger Agreement (provided that any breach of Sections 6.02, 6.03 or 6.04 of the Merger Agreement by Borrower shall be deemed material), and such breach has not been cured within five (5) days after receipt by Borrower of written notice of such breach from Lender.

9             LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1          Rights and Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to the Subordination Agreement, Lender 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 of the SVB Loan Facility occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b)          stop advancing money or extending credit for, and/or terminate Lender’s commitment or obligation to advance money or extend credit for, Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender;

(c)          subject to the Subordination Agreement, verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds;

(d)          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 Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates.  Lender 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 Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(e)          apply to the Obligations any amount held by Lender 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.  Lender 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 Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;

13


 

 

(g)          deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(h)          demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

(i)           exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2          Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:  (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) demand, collect, sue, and give 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 Lender’s or Borrower’s name, as Lender chooses); (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other 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 Lender or a third party as the Code permits.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated.  Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents and Lender’s obligations to make any Credit Extensions have been terminated.

9.3          Application of Payments and Proceeds.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the right to apply in any order any funds 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.  Lender 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 Lender for any deficiency.  If Lender, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender 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 Lender of cash therefor.

9.4          Lender’s Liability for Collateral.  So long as Lender complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender 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.

9.5          No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  Lender’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 Lender 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.  Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.6          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 Lender on which Borrower is liable.

14


 

 

9.7          Borrower Liability.  Any Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder.  Each Borrower hereby appoints each other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder.  Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions.  Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Lender under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.7 shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 9.7, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lender and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Lender for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

10           NOTICES

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, the internal laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents.  Borrower and Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other 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 Lender.  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

15


 

 

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 LENDER 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.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12           GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1        Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival.
