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 2.1.1 (Advances). Section 2.1.1(a) of the Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (i) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (ii) all amounts owed for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, and (iii) the FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1 may be repaid (without penalty) and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

 

1.2 Section 2.1.2 (Letters of Credit). The Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following Section 2.1.2 prior to Section 2.2:

 

2.1.2 Letters of Credit.

 

Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) all amounts owed for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (b) the FX Reserve, and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the


Advances. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than eighteen (18) months after the Maturity Date, and Borrower’s reimbursement obligation will be fully secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the 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.

 

1.3 Section 2.1.3 (Foreign Exchange Sublimit). The Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following Section 2.1.3 after Section 2.1.2 and prior to Section 2.2:

 

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.

 

If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter in 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 ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is a maximum of the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (b) all amounts owed for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.

 

1.4 Section 2.1.4 (Cash Management Services Sublimit). The Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following Section 2.1.4 after Section 2.1.3 and prior to Section 2.2:

 

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.

 

Borrower may use up to the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (b) the FX Reserve, and (c) 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; provided, however, amounts outstanding under the Existing Merchant Services Facility shall not be deducted for determining amounts 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.

Borrower has good title to the Collateral and its Intellectual Property, free of Liens except Permitted Liens.
