AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

 

1.1 Section 2.1.2 (Letters of Credit Sublimit). The first sentence of Section 2.1.2 is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

 

Bank will issue Letters of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for Borrower’s account not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the FX Reserve minus all amounts for services used under the Cash Management Services Sublimit.

 

1.2 Section 2.1.3 (Foreign Exchange Sublimit). Section 2.1.3 is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

 

If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower


commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which shall not exceed the Committed Revolving Line minus the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) minus the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus all amounts for services used under the Cash Management Services Sublimit (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

 

1.3 Section 2.1.4 (Cash Management Services) is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

 

Borrower may use amounts up to the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), the FX Reserve, and the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

 

1.4 Section 2.1.9 (Equipment Facility 4). The following shall be inserted as Section 2.1.9:

 

2.1.9 Equipment Facility 4.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to lend to Borrower, from time to time prior to the Equipment Facility 4 Commitment Termination Date, equipment advances (each an “Equipment Facility 4 Advance” and collectively the “Equipment Facility 4 Advances”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed Equipment Facility 4 Line. When repaid, the Equipment Facility 4 Advances may not be re-borrowed. The proceeds of the Equipment Facility 4 Advances will be used solely to reimburse Borrower for the purchase of (i) new Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment purchased within 90 days of the Equipment Facility 4 Advance and (ii) used Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment purchased within 180 days of the Equipment Facility 4 Advance; provided, however, that used Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment purchased more than 90 days earlier, but not more than 180 days earlier, may be financed only with the first Equipment Facility 4 Advance. Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the Equipment Facility 4 Commitment Termination Date.

 

2


(b) To obtain an Equipment Facility 4 Advance, Borrower must notify Bank (the notice is irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time 5 Business Days before the day on which the Equipment Facility 4 Advance is to be made. The notice in the form of Exhibit B (Payment/Advance Form) must be signed by a Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice(s) for the Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment being financed. Borrower shall also complete, execute, and deliver to Bank a Loan Supplement - Equipment Facility 4 Advances substantially in the form of Exhibit G on the Funding Date.

 

(c) If Borrower satisfies the conditions of each Equipment Facility 4 Advance specified in this Section 2.1.9, Bank will disburse such Equipment Facility 4 Advance by internal transfer to Borrower’s deposit account with Bank. Each Equipment Facility 4 Advance may not exceed 100% of the Original Stated Cost for Equipment Facility 4 Advances for the financing of Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment purchased within 90 days of the Equipment Facility 4 Advance, or in the case of the first Equipment Facility 4 Advance, Eligible Equipment Facility 4 Equipment purchased within 180 days.

 

(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Equipment Facility 4 Line will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospects of Borrower, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the Equipment Facility 4 Commitment Termination Date.
