LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“LII”), LUNA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“LTI”); and together with LII, individually as a “Borrower” and collectively as “Borrowers”, provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrowers and Borrowers shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

 

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

 

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

(a) As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for each Borrower’s account. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), less any Credit Extensions made under Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of this Agreement. If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrowers shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations


relating to said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrowers agree to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrowers further agree to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for any Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for any Borrower’s account, and Borrowers understand and agree that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(b) The obligation of Borrowers to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.

(c) Borrowers may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrowers of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.

(d) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.

As part of the Revolving Line, Borrowers may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrowers commit to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “FX Reserve”) less any Credit Extensions made under Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.4 of this Agreement. The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

 

2


2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.

Borrowers may use up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Revolving Line , less any Credit Extensions made under Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 of this Agreement, for Bank’s cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrowers for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

2.1.5 Term Loan.

(a) Availability. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrowers in an amount up to the Term Loan Amount on the Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Repayment. Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan as follows: (i) Borrowers shall make monthly payments of interest only commencing on the first (1st) calendar day of the month following the Effective Date and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter until the Interest-Only Termination Date; and (ii) commencing on the first (1st) calendar day of the month following the month in which the Interest-Only Termination Date occurs and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter through the Repayment Period, Borrowers shall make forty-two (42) consecutive equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest (each a “Term Loan Payment”) through the Repayment Period. Borrowers’ final Term Loan Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan.

(c) Voluntary Prepayment. At Borrowers’ option, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, Borrowers shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan, provided Borrowers (i) provide written notice to Bank of their election to exercise to prepay the Term Loan at least fifteen (15) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pay, on the date of the prepayment (A) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan through the date the prepayment is made; (B) all unpaid principal with respect to the Term Loan; (C) a premium equal to the Term Loan Termination Fee; and (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to this Agreement. The Term Loan Termination Fee, if not paid on the date of prepayment of the Term Loan in accordance with this Section 2.1.5(c), shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment. If the Term Loan becomes due and payable according to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall pay to Bank on the date that the Term Loan becomes due and payable according to the terms hereof (i) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan; (ii) all unpaid principal with respect to the Term Loan; and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to this Agreement.

 

3


2.2 Overadvances.

If, at any time, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate.

(i) Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to one half of one percentage point above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(f) below.

(ii) Term Loan. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to one percentage point above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.

(d) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of any Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts any Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

(f) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.

 

4


2.4 Fees.

Borrowers shall pay to Bank:

(a) Commitment Fee. (i) A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee in regard to the Revolving Line equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Revolving Line, on the Effective Date and on each one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, and (ii) a fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee in regard to the Term Loan of $25,000, on the Effective Date;

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit;

A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average unused and available portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank. The unused and available portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall include amounts reserved under the Cash Management Services Sublimit for products provided and under the Foreign Exchange Sublimit for FX Forward Contracts. Borrowers shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder;

(d) Term Loan Termination Fee. The Term Loan Termination Fee when due pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.2(c) and (d); and

(e) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

2.5 Lockbox; Account Collection Services.

(a) Borrowers shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively, the “Lockbox”). It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not set-up and operational within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.

(b) Until such Lockbox is established, the proceeds of the Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address consented to by Bank. Upon receipt by Borrowers of such proceeds, Borrowers shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal. Provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days of receipt of such amounts by Bank, Bank will turn over to Borrowers the proceeds of the Accounts, less any amounts due to Bank, such as the commitment fee or any other fees described in Section 2.4 above, payments due to Bank, other fees and expenses, or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Bank may apply all amounts collected in the Lockbox to the Obligations in accordance with

 

5


Section 9.4. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein. All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank may apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the Obligations.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest.

Each Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Each Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If any Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by such Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrowers.

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrowers, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by any Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.

 

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority.

Each Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrowers have delivered to Bank a completed certificate, entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) such Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) such Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office);

 

8


(e) such Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that each Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If any Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with such Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of any Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which any Borrower or any its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or are being obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b)) or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which any Borrower is bound. No Borrower is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Borrower’s business.

5.2 Collateral.

Each Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrowers have no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrowers have given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein; provided, however, that the foregoing representation shall not be deemed to have been made by Borrowers on the Effective Date or at any time during the sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. Other than demo or loaner equipment with an aggregate value of up to $500,000 that is used in the sales and clinical trial process, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that any Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then such Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion.

 

9


5.3 Accounts Receivable; Inventory.

For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of each Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may notify any Account Debtor owing any Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. No Borrower has any knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5.4 Litigation.

There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) that were not already disclosed in the Perfection Certificate.

5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements.

All consolidated financial statements for each Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects each Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and each Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in any Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

5.6 Solvency.

The fair salable value of each Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; no Borrower is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and each Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.7 Regulatory Compliance.

No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Borrower is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Each Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding

 

10


Company Act of 2005. No Borrower has violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.

5.8 Investments.

No Borrower owns any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.

Each Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and each Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by any Borrower. Each Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that such Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the Governmental Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Each Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrowers’ prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrowers. Each Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and no Borrower has withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of any Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

5.10 Use of Proceeds.

Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital, and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

5.11 Full Disclosure.

No written representation, warranty or other statement of any Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by any Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

 

11


5.12 LII Subsidiaries.

Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 5.12 attached hereto and made a part hereof, the LII Subsidiaries do not (a) own or possess any cash, Cash Equivalents, Accounts, Collateral Accounts, intellectual property or any other material assets, and (b) operate, conduct or engage in any business activities, operations or functions.

Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in each Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as the sole lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank, and all liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured.

The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by any Borrower as such.

If any Borrower (i) obtains any patent, registered trademark or servicemark, registered copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any patent or the registration of any trademark or servicemark, then such Borrower shall immediately provide written notice thereof to Bank and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Bank shall request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in such property. If any Borrower decides to register any copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, such Borrower shall: (x) provide Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such Borrower’s intent to register such copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office.

6.9 Litigation Cooperation.

From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Bank, without expense to Bank, each Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrowers’ books and records, to the extent that Bank may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Bank with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrowers.

9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Bank;

(c) demand that any Borrower (i) deposits cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and such Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

 

20


(d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

(e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing any Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower;

(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(j) demand and receive possession of each Borrower’s Books; and

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse each Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign each Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers’ insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the

 

21


Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Each Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign each Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Protective Payments.

If any Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrowers are obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrowers with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds.

Borrowers shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrowers to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrowers’ account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrowers or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrowers shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible 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. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

22


9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver.

Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which any Borrower is liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

Virginia law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Bank assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests and confirmations by any one or more of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers” in connection with any Credit Extension or any other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

26


12.12 Inter-Company Debt, Contribution.

The Persons included in the term “Borrowers” agree among themselves, and Bank consents to that agreement, that each such Person shall have rights of contribution from all of such Persons to the extent such Person incurs Obligations in excess of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions received by, or allocated to such Person. All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and are hereby agreed by the Persons included in the term “Borrowers” to be, subordinate in priority and payment to the indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless Bank agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Person included in the term “Borrowers” agrees that all of such inter-company indebtedness and rights of contribution are part of the Collateral and secure the Obligations. Each Person included in the term “Borrowers” hereby waives all rights of counter claim, recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on account of that indebtedness and otherwise. No Person included in the term “Borrowers” shall evidence the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or other instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of contribution with any Lien or security.

12.13 Borrowers are Integrated Group.

Each Person included in the term “Borrowers” hereby represents and warrants to Bank that each of them will derive benefits, directly and indirectly, from each Credit Extension, both in their separate capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which each such Person belongs and because the successful operation of the integrated group is dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole, because (i) the terms of the Credit Extensions provided under this Agreement are more favorable than would otherwise would be obtainable by such Persons individually, and (ii) the additional administrative and other costs and reduced flexibility associated with individual loan arrangements which would otherwise be required if obtainable would substantially reduce the value to such Persons of the Credit Extensions.

12.14 Primary Obligations.

The obligations and liabilities of each Person included in the term “Borrowers” shall be primary, direct and immediate, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that such Person may have against any one or more of the other Persons included in the term “Borrowers”, Bank and/or any other guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon pursuit or enforcement by Bank of any remedies it may have against Persons included in the term “Borrowers” with respect to this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by operation of law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall not be required to make any demand

 

27


upon any of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers”, or to sell the Collateral or otherwise pursue, enforce or exhaust its or their remedies against the Persons included in the term “Borrowers” or the Collateral either before, concurrently with or after pursuing or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder. Any one or more successive or concurrent actions or proceedings may be brought against each Person included in the term “Borrowers”, either in the same action, if any, brought against any one or more of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers” or in separate actions or proceedings, as often as Bank may deem expedient or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any of the liabilities or obligations of any one or more of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers”, any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Loan Documents, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law initiated by or against any one or more of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers”, in their respective capacities as borrowers and guarantors under this Agreement, or under any of the Loan Documents shall not modify, limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of any other Borrower under this Agreement in any manner whatsoever, and this Agreement shall remain and continue in full force and effect. It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement that each Person included in the term “Borrowers” shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might accrue to any other guarantor by reason of any such proceeding, and the Persons included in the term “Borrowers” agree that they shall be liable for the full amount of the obligations and liabilities under this Agreement regardless of, and irrespective to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of any one or more of the Persons included in the term “Borrowers”, any other guarantor or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, that may result from any such proceedings.
