Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Silicon dated December 14, 2001 (as otherwise amended, if at all, the "Loan Agreement"). Notwithstanding the Maturity Date of March 17, 2006, since Obligations have remained outstanding, in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement has continued in full force and effect. The Parties agree to amend the Loan Agreement, as follows, effective as of the date hereof. (Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.) 1. MODIFIED INTEREST PROVISION. Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 9.1 INTEREST COMPUTATION. In computing interest on the Obligations, all checks and other items of payment received by Silicon (including proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations two Business Days after receipt by Silicon of immediately available funds (except with respect to wire transfers which shall be deemed applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations the same Business Day as deemed received by Silicon), and, for purposes of the foregoing, any such funds received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Silicon shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion, and Silicon may charge Borrower's loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Silicon unpaid. 2. MODIFIED FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACT SUBLIMIT. The Foreign Exchange Contract Sublimit set forth in Section 1 of the Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: -1- SILICON VALLEY BANK AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACT SUBLIMIT: $500,000. The Foreign Exchange Contract Sublimit set forth in this Agreement is in addition to the Foreign Exchange Contract Sublimit set forth in the Exim Agreement. -2- SILICON VALLEY BANK AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with Silicon, on its standard forms, under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Silicon a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contracts"); provided that (1) at the time the FX Forward Contract is entered into Borrower has Loans available to it under this Agreement in an amount at least equal to 10% of the amount of the FX Forward Contract; and (2) the total FX Forward Contracts at any one time outstanding may not exceed 10 times the amount of the Foreign Exchange Contract Sublimit set forth above; and (3) the total Foreign Exchange Contract Sublimit shall not, at any time, exceed $500,000. Silicon shall have the right to withhold, from the Loans otherwise available to Borrower under this Agreement, a reserve (which shall be in addition to all other reserves) in an amount equal to 10% of the total FX Forward Contracts from time to time outstanding, and in the event at any time there are insufficient Loans available to Borrower for such reserve, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with Silicon cash collateral in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency, which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. Silicon may, in its discretion, terminate the FX Forward Contracts at any time that an Event of Default occurs and is continuing. Borrower shall execute all standard form applications and agreements of Silicon in connection with the FX Forward Contracts, and without limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower shall pay all standard fees and charges of Silicon in connection with the FX Forward Contracts. 3. MODIFIED INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate set forth in Section 2 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: INTEREST RATE (Section 1.2): -3- SILICON VALLEY BANK AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS A rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in effect from time to time, plus 2.25% per annum; provided, however, that the foregoing interest rate shall be reduced to a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in effect from time to time, plus 1.75% per annum as set forth below if Borrower achieves EBITDA (as defined below) in excess of $0.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters ending after the date of this Agreement and for so long as Borrower maintains EBITDA in excess of $0.00 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. If Borrower does not maintain EBITDA in excess of $0.00, the interest rate will be increased to a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in effect from time to time plus 2.25% per annum. For purposes hereof, "EBITDA" means, on a consolidated basis, Borrower's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and other non-cash amortization expenses and other non-cash expenses, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. Changes in the interest rate based on the Borrower's EBITDA as provided above shall go into effect as of the first day of the month following the month in which Borrower's financial statements are received, reviewed and approved by Silicon. If, based on the Borrower's EBITDA as shown in Borrower's financial statements there is to be an increase in the interest rate, the interest rate increase may be put into effect by Silicon as of the first day of the month closest to the date on which the financial statements are due, even if the delivery of the financial statements is delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an interest rate reduction go into effect if, at the date it is to go into effect, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. "Prime Rate" means the rate -4- SILICON VALLEY BANK AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS announced from time to time by Silicon as its "prime rate;" provided that the "Prime Rate" in effect on any day shall not be less than 4.25% per annum; it is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the best rate available at Silicon. The interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate. 4. MODIFIED COLLATERAL MONITORING FEE. The Collateral Monitoring Fee set forth in Section 3 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Collateral Monitoring Fee: $1,250, per month, payable in arrears (prorated for any partial month at the beginning and at termination of this Agreement). 5. MODIFIED UNUSED LINE FEE. The Unused Line Fee set forth in Section 3 of the Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Unused Line Fee: In the event, in any calendar month (or portion thereof at the beginning and end of the term hereof), the average daily principal balance of the Non-Exim Loans and Exim Loans, in the aggregate, outstanding during the month is less than the amount of the Overall Credit Limit, Borrower shall pay Silicon an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.375% per annum on the difference between the amount of the Overall Credit Limit and the average daily principal balance of the Non-Exim Loans and Exim Loans, in the aggregate, outstanding during the month, which unused line fee shall be computed and paid monthly, in arrears, on the first day of the following month. 6. MODIFIED MATURITY DATE. Section 4 of the Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 4.
