Section 3.16 MUTUAL BENEFIT. The funds that have been and are to be borrowed from Lender by Borrower have been and are to be contemporaneously paid to or used for the benefit of each Subsidiary Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that each of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has derived and will continue to derive significant, substantial and direct benefits from the accommodations that have been made by Lender under the Loan Documents and that each of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and more than sufficient consideration to support the indebtedness, obligations, liens and security interests created under the Loan Documents and all repayments or other transfers made or to be made to Lender. To the extent, if any, that funds are transferred by any of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, which such recipient intends to be used to repay Lender, it is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that: (a) such funds shall in fact be used to contemporaneously repay Lender; (b) to the maximum extent permitted by law, these transfers constitute contemporaneous exchanges for value given to the transferor and, therefore, shall qualify for the protection and benefits of Section 547(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) in any event, Lender, as the immediate transferee of such funds, shall take them in “good faith” and without “knowledge of the voidability of the transfer” as between Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantor or as between Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, if any, as those phrases are used in Section 550(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that any payment or collateral proceeds received by Lender hereunder is subsequently avoided or otherwise required to be paid over to any other person or entity, then the obligation or indebtedness which had been paid, reduced or satisfied by such payment or receipt of collateral proceeds shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 3.17 SOLVENCY. Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is Solvent. None of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor will be rendered not Solvent by the execution or delivery of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents or by the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder.

In addition, if any change in law shall subject Lender to any Taxes, excluding Connection Income Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes (“Increased Cost Taxes”) on its loans, loan principal, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, or capital attributable thereto, and the result of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making, continuing or maintaining such Loan or other obligation, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder, then upon the request of Lender, Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify and, within ten (10) days pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any such Increased Cost Taxes and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes Lender under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested by Borrower, a duly signed completed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8ECI, or IRS Form W-8IMY. In the case that Lender is not a U.S. Person that is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest pursuant to Section 881(c) of the IRC, Lender shall to the extent it is legally entitled to do so also deliver to Borrower a certificate to the effect that Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A), a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of IRC Section 881(c)(3)(B), or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(C). Thereafter, upon request from time to time by Borrower, Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower such other duly completed and signed copies of one of such IRS W-8 forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities), and such supplementary documentation as may then be prescribed under then current United States laws and regulations, as a basis for claiming exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of payments to be made to Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that delivery of such documentation shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Borrower if any form or certification previously delivered becomes inaccurate if such inaccuracy would modify or render invalid any previously claimed exemption or reduction.

(iii) If a payment made to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full, satisfaction or discharge of all the obligations of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or any other Loan Document.

Section 8.04 SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNMENT.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided however, that neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or transfer its interests or rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any such prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s rights and benefits under each of the Loan Documents to any Affiliate of Lender or any bona fide financial institution engaged in the business of extending credit; provided, however, that (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, such assignee shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower and (ii) such assignee shall not be a Direct Competitor. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any credit subject hereto, Borrower or its business, any Subsidiary Guarantor or its business, any guarantor hereunder or the business of such guarantor, or any collateral required hereunder.

(b) Borrower shall maintain a register, in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations, at its principal office in Redwood Shores, California for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and its assignees, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each such Person pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Borrower shall promptly record on the Register each assignment of all or part of the Loan by Lender (or any assignee) pursuant to Section 8.04(a). Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Loan and the other obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents are intended to be “registered obligations” within the meaning of IRC Sections 871(h) and 881(c), and this Section 8.04 and the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted consistently therewith. The Register shall be available for inspection by Lender (and its assignees), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. With respect to any participation sold by Lender or an assignee, Lender or such assignee shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no such Person shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lender or such assignee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8.03(c)(ii) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.03(c)(ii) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 8.04; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation

Section 8.05 RIGHT OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against any and all of the obligations to Lender, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligations. The rights of Lender under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender may have. Lender agrees to notify Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 8.06 GUARANTY.

(a) Each Material Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower party hereto and each Material Domestic Subsidiary that becomes a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to a Joinder Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of (i) the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, (ii) the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents and (iii) all other obligations of Borrower to Lender, including, without limitation, all other advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender, heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, in each case, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether Borrower shall be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon which may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for any Insolvency Proceeding, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding.

(i) Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in this Section 8.06 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under any Loan Document.

(ii) To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required under any Loan Document to pay any portion of any indebtedness under any Loan Document exceeding the greater of (x) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents and (y) the amount such Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the indebtedness and other liabilities under the Loan Documents (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on such date, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Subsidiary Guarantors on such date.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any debt arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 8.06, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Lender; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 8.06, and Lender may enforce any and all of its respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 8.06, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Lender, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the debt thereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to Borrower, Lender is relying upon the enforceability of this Section 8.06 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Lender would be denied the full benefit of its bargain if at any time this Section 8.06 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the guaranty is set forth in

 

-39-


this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Lender under this Section 8.06. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, immediately upon request at any time of Lender, evidencing such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 8.06. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower, any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.

(c) To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable law (including the California Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Sections 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that Lender can enforce under this Section 8.06, Lender by its acceptance hereof accepts such limitation on the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 8.06 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d) The liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 8.06 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Lender’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(iii) Lender may enforce this Section 8.06 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(v) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

1) any Insolvency Proceeding;

2) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

3) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Borrower or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or any other Person;

 

-40-


4) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Lender’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 8.06) or the other Loan Documents;

5) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

6) Lender’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

7) Lender’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral therefor;

8) Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or

9) any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Lender.

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) the time for Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Lender (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;

(iii) Lender may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and

(iv) Lender may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Lender whatsoever;

 

-41-


(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) any defense based upon Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 8.06, including any and all benefits that otherwise might be available to such Subsidiary Guarantor under any of California Civil Code Sections 1432, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726; and

(vii) any and all notice of the acceptance of this guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Lender upon this guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to require Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of Lender or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrower and all other matters pertaining to this guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Lender with respect thereto.

(h) Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise: (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 8.06, by any payment hereunder or otherwise; (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 8.06; or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Lender as against any Borrower or other guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 8.06, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

 

-42-


(i) All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor or to any other Subordinated Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt”) shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments”) in each case, except to the extent not prohibited under ARTICLE VI.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 8.06, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall be paid over or delivered to Lender for application to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 8.06 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Lender in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against Borrower or its property, Lender, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own the name or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any its the rights or interests; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Lender may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt for the account of Lender and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; (B) to execute and deliver to Lender such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments.

(j) This guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. This guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by Lender of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five Business Days following such receipt); provided that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of Lender hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Lender in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations.

 

-43-


(k) This guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by Lender, whether as a result of proceedings under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of Lender contained in Section 8.03.

(l) The extensions of credit provided to or for the benefit of Borrower hereunder by Lender have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the extensions of credit to be made available by Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, in Section 3439.04 of the California Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and in comparable provisions of other applicable law) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be solvent.

(m) EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS Section 8.06. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND THAT EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPECTS SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

Section 8.07 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and Lender with respect to each credit subject hereto and supersede all prior negotiations, communications, discussions and correspondence concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.

Section 8.08 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall be a third party beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents to which it is not a party.

Section 8.09 TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement and each other of the Loan Documents.

Section 8.10 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy and/or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 8.12 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.13 ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the AAA; (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

 

-45-


(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

 

-46-


(h) Real Property Collateral: Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with such Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

(i) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(j) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

Section 8.14 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.

(a) If, after the date hereof, Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s commitments hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material, then Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Borrower shall only be liable pursuant to this Section 8.14 for any amounts (A) incurred no more than 120 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amount is first made to Borrower (provided that if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amount is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and (B) to the extent that Lender has required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors to pay comparable amounts in respect of such increased costs or reduced returns. If

 

-47-


claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Section 8.14, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a notice of its intent to make such claim. Each such notice shall be delivered within 120 days of the date the officer of Lender charged with the credit responsibility for Borrower and the Loan Documents first becomes aware of the specific facts on which such claim is to be based and shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to Lender under this Section 8.14. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be entitled to any reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Section 8.14 for any period of time prior to such notice if Lender shall have not given notice within 120 days of the date the officer of Lender charged with the credit responsibility for Borrower first becomes aware of the specific facts on which such claim is to be based. The determination by Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.14, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(b) If Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in clause (a) above relative to changed circumstances, then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the issuance of any rules, regulations or directions under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith after the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a change in law, rule, regulation or guideline for purposes of this Section 8.14 and the protection of this Section 8.14 shall be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders or issuing banks affected thereby to comply therewith.

Section 8.15 PATRIOT ACT. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Lender is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for Borrower’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall be for the account of Borrower.

Section 8.16 INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

Section 8.17 CONFIDENTIALITY. Lender and each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Borrower and Vector Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, shall apply as between Lender and each of the Loan Parties as if Lender were “Vector” or “Receiving Party” thereunder, each of the Loan Parties was “the Company” or “Disclosing Party” thereunder, and all actions of such parties relating to

 

-48-


this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents were, collectively, the “Potential Transaction” thereunder. The Confidentiality Agreement shall so apply until the date that is one year after the repayment in full of the Loan and all other obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.

Section 8.18 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that:

(a) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and making an informed decision with respect thereto; and
