2. FINANCING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
2.1. REQUEST FOR ADVANCES. During the Facility Period, Borrower may
offer accounts receivable to Bank, if there is not an Event of Default.
Borrower will deliver an Invoice Transmittal for each accounts
receivable it offers. Bank may rely on information on or with the
invoice Transmittal.
2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Bank is not obligated to
finance any accounts receivable. Bank may approve any Account Debtor's
credit before financing any receivable. When Bank accepts a receivable,
it will pay Borrower the Advance Rate times the face amount of the
receivable (the "Advance"). Bank may, in its discretion, change the
percentage of the Advance Rate. When Bank makes an Advance, the
receivable becomes a "Financed Receivable." All representations and
warranties in Section 6 must be true as of the date of the Invoice
Transmittal and of the Advance and no Event of Default exists would
occur as a result of the Advance. The aggregate amount of all Financed
Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount.
3. COLLECTIONS, FINANCE CHARGES, REMITTANCES AND FEES. The Obligations
shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Fees and
Finance Charges may, in Bank's discretion, be charged as an Advance,
and shall thereafter accrue fees and Finance Charges as described
below. Bank may, in its discretion, charge fee and Finance Charges to
Borrower's deposit account maintained with Bank.
3.1 COLLECTIONS. Collections will be credited to the Financed
Receivables Balance, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may
apply Collections to the Obligation in any order it chooses. If Bank
receives a payment for both Financed Receivable and a non Financed
Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable
and, if there is not an Event of Default, the excess will be remitted
to the Borrower, subject to Section 3.10.
3.2. FINANCE CHARGES. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations,
all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on
account of the Obligations 5 Business Days after receipt of the
Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the "Finance Charge"),
which is the greater of (i) the Applicable Rate times the number of
days in the Reconciliation Period times the outstanding average daily
Financed Receivable Balance for that Reconciliation Period or (ii) the
Minimum Finance Charge. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue
interest at 5 percent above the Applicable Rate effective immediately
before the Event of Default.
3.3. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
3.4. FACILITY FEE. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of
$7,500.00 is due upon execution of this Agreement.
3.5. COLLATERAL HANDLING FEE. On each Reconciliation Day, Borrower will
pay to Bank a collateral handling fee, equal to .50% per month
of the average daily Financed Receivable Balance outstanding during the
applicable Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, the
Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional .50% effective
immediately before the Event of Default.
3.6. EARLY TERMINATION FEE. A fully earned, non-refundable early
termination fee of $50,000.00 is due upon voluntary full payment of the
Obligations and termination of this Facility prior to November 9, 2001
unless the Obligations are paid in full from an initial advance from a
loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
3.7. ACCOUNTING. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an
accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period,
including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections,
Adjustments, Finance Charges, the Collateral Handling Fee and the
Administrative Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in
writing within 30 days it is considered correct. All Finance Charges
and other interest and fees calculated on the basis of a 360 day year
and actual days elapsed.
3.8. DEDUCTIONS. Bank may deduct fees, finance charges and other
amounts due from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.
3.9. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
3
<PAGE>
3.10. ACCOUNT COLLECTION SERVICES. All Borrowers' receivables are to be
paid to the same address/or party and Borrower and Bank must agree on
such address. If Bank collects all receivables and there is not an
Event of Default or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be
an Event of Default, within five (5) days of receipt of those
collections, Bank will give Borrower, the receivables collections it
receives for receivables other than Financed Receivables and/or amount
in excess of the amount for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower,
less any amount due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, Administrative
Fee, Collateral Handling Fee and expenses or otherwise. This Section
does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than
to turn over amounts. All receivables and collections are Collateral
and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank need not remit collections of
Collateral and may apply them to the Obligations.
4. REPAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.
4.1. REPAYMENT ON MATURITY. Borrower will repay each Advance on the
earliest of: (a) payment of the Financed Receivable in respect which
the Advance was made, (b) the Financed Receivable becomes an Ineligible
Receivable, (c) when any Adjustment is made to the Financed Receivable
(but only to the extant of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable is
not otherwise an Ineligible Receivable, or (d) the last day of the
Facility Period (including any early termination). Each payment will
also include all accrued Finance Charges on the Advance and all other
amounts due hereunder.
4.2. REPAYMENT ON EVENT OF DEFAULT. When there is an Event of Default,
Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, in an Event of Default under
Section 9(B), immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all
of the Advances. The demand may, at Bank's option, include the Advance
for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance
Charges, Administrative Fees, attorneys and professional fees, court
costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.
5. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its
successors and assigns it attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank,
regardless of whether there has been an Event of Default, to:
