B. Borrower has requested that, among other things, Bank increase the maximum principal amount of the committed line of credit to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) and Bank has agreed, subject to the execution of this Agreement with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby covenant and agree that effective upon the Closing Date, the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

1.	ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

 

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

 

2.	LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

2.1	Promise to Pay.

 

Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

 

2.1.1

Revolving Advances.

 

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base; and minus (ii) all amounts for (A) services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) and (C) the FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

 

---

(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Loan Payment/Advance Request Form attached as Exhibit B (the “Payment/Advance Form”). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

 

(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

 

(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations 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 prospect of repayment of the Obligations, 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 execution of this Agreement.

 

2.1.2

Letters of Credit Sublimit.

 

Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the Cash Management Sublimit and minus the FX Reserve; however, the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not at any time exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower’s obligations to reimburse Bank under the Letters of Credit will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank, a letter of credit fee (each a “Letter of Credit Fee” and collectively the “Letter of Credit Fees”) in an amount equal to          percent (    %) per annum of the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid in advance upon the issuance of the Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary thereof, if any. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Bank any and all additional issuance, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to the extent and as and when required by Bank.

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 Committee Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

 

2.2	Overadvances.

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate of one and one quarter percent (1.25%) plus the greater of (i) the Prime Rate, or (ii) four and one quarter percent (4.25%). After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at five percent (5%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including Account Number 03517802-70 for the principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

9.2	Power of Attorney.

 

Effective only when an event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.

9.3	Accounts Collection.

 

When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account.

9.4	Bank Expenses.

 

If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

9.5	Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

 

If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable 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.

9.6	Remedies Cumulative.

 

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or

 

11

acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

 

9.7	Demand Waiver.

LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of February 2, 2004, by and between Sirf Technology, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”).

 

1.    DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING OBLIGATIONS:  Among other Obligations which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is Indebted to Bank pursuant to, among other documents, an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 27, 2003, as modified or amended from time to time, (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, a Committed Revolving Line in the original principal amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as the “Obligations.”

 

2.    DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL.  Repayment of the Obligations is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement.

 

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together with all other documents securing repayment of the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”. Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”.

 

3.    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

 

A.    Modification(s) to Loan Agreement.

 

1.

The following defined terms under Section 13.1 entitled “Definitions” are hereby amended to read as follows:

 

“Borrowing Base” is (i) eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts plus (ii) seventy percent (70%) of Eligible Foreign Account and plus (iii) ninety percent (90%) of Eligible Accounts supported by Letters of Credit as determined by Bank from Borrower’s most recent Borrowing Base Certificate; provided, however, that Bank may lower the percentage of the Borrowing Base after performing an audit of Borrower’s Collateral.

 

“Eligible Foreign Accounts” is hereby amended in part to include Motorola as an Eligible Foreign Account.

 

B.    Waiver of Covenant Default(s).

 

1.

Bank hereby waives Borrower’s existing default under the Loan Agreement by virtue of Borrower’s failure to deliver to Bank its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 within 120 days following Borrower’s fiscal year end. Bank’s waiver of Borrower’s compliance of this covenant shall apply only to the foregoing period. Accordingly, Borrower will deliver to Bank such financial statements no later than March 31, 2004 and be required to be in compliance with this covenant for each subsequent year beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Bank’s agreement to waive the above-described default (1) in no way shall be deemed an agreement by the Bank to waive Borrower’s compliance with the above-described covenant as of all other dates and (2) shall not limit or impair the Bank’s

---

right to demand strict performance of this covenant as of all other dates and (3) shall not limit or impair the Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other covenants as of any date.

 

4.    CONSISTENT CHANGES.  The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

 

5.    NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) agrees that, as of the date hereof, it has no defenses against paying any of the Obligations.

 

6.    CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

 

This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written above.
