be
conducted by DG upon completion of the Merger.
E. The
Borrower has requested that the Bank provide the Borrower a secured working
capital revolving credit facility in the amount of $8,000,000 and a sub-line
of
credit of $1,000,000 for the issuance of standby letters of credit, and the
Bank
is willing to provide such credit facilities to the Borrower on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
In
addition to the terms which are defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the

by Standard & Poors, accounts in an aggregate amount at any time of up
to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) owed to the Borrower by
20th
Century Fox may be outstanding for up to 120 days from their invoice
date
or 90 days from their due date, whichever occurs

Receivables at any time.

2. THE
FACILITY: LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS
2.1. Line
of Credit Amount.
| (a) |
During
the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a
line of
credit (the “Facility”) to the Borrower. The amount of the Facility (the
“Facility Commitment”) is equal to the lesser of (i) the Credit Limit
or (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined by the Bank from time to
time in accordance with this
Agreement.
|
| (b) |
The
Facility is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period,
the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow
them.
|
| (c) |
The
Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to
exceed
the Facility Commitment. If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the
Borrower
will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon the Bank’s
demand.
|
2.2. Availability
Period.
The
Facility is available between the date on which the Merger occurs (the “Facility
Commencement Date”) and the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the
Facility Commencement Date, or such earlier date as the availability may
terminate as provided in this Agreement (as applicable, the “Facility Expiration
Date”).
The
availability period for the Facility will be considered renewed if and only
if
the Bank has sent to the Borrower a written notice of renewal effective as
of
the Facility Expiration Date for the Facility (the “Renewal Notice”). If the
Facility is renewed, it will continue to be subject to all the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement except as modified by the Renewal Notice.
If the Facility is renewed, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the date set
forth in the Renewal Notice as the Expiration Date and the same process for
renewal will apply to any subsequent renewal of the Facility. A renewal fee
may
be charged at the Bank’s option. The amount of the renewal fee will be specified
in the Renewal Notice.
4
2.3. Conditions
to Availability of Credit.
In
addition to the items required to be delivered to the Bank under the paragraph
entitled “Financial Information” in the “Covenants” section of this Agreement,
the Borrower will promptly deliver the following to the Bank at such times
as
may be requested by the Bank:

A
borrowing certificate, in form and detail satisfactory to the Bank,
setting forth the Acceptable Receivables on which the requested extension
of credit is to be based.
|
| (b) |

journal for such Acceptable Receivables and a listing of the names
and
addresses of the debtors obligated
thereunder.
|
| (c) |
Copies
of the delivery receipts, purchase orders, shipping instructions,
bills of
lading and other documentation pertaining to such Acceptable
Receivables.
|
| (d) |
Copies
of the cash receipts journal pertaining to the borrowing
certificate.
|
2.4. Repayment
Terms.

The
Borrower will pay interest on September 1, 2007, and then on the
first day
of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal
outstanding under the Facility.
|
| (b) |
The
Borrower will repay in full any principal, interest or other charges
outstanding under the Facility no later than the Facility Expiration
Date.
|
| (c) |
Any
interest period for an optional interest rate (as described below)
shall
expire no later than the Facility Expiration
Date.
|
2.5. Interest
Rate.
| (a) |
The
interest rate is a rate per year equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus the
Applicable Margin as defined below.
|
| (b) |
The
Prime Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to
time by
the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based
on
various factors, including the Bank’s costs and desired return, general
economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference
point
for pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its customers
at,
above, or below the Prime Rate. Any change in the Prime Rate shall
take
effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public
announcement of a change in the Bank’s Prime
Rate.
|
2.6. Optional
Interest Rates.
Instead
of the interest rate based on the rate stated in the paragraph entitled
“Interest Rate” above, the Borrower may elect the optional interest rate listed
below for the Facility during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the
Borrower. The optional interest rate shall be subject to the terms and
conditions described later in this Agreement. Any principal amount bearing
interest at the optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a
“Portion.” The following optional interest rate is available:
5
The
LIBOR
Rate plus the Applicable Margin as defined below.
2.7. Applicable
Margin.
For
the
period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date the
Bank
receives a compliance certificate and financial statement for the Borrower's
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007 (the “Initial Pricing Period”), the
Applicable Margin for advances bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate
shall be minus
three-quarters (0.75) percentage point per annum and the Applicable Margin
for
advances bearing interest on the basis of the LIBOR Rate shall be plus
one and
three-quarters (1.75) percentage points per annum. Following the Initial Pricing
Period, the Applicable Margin shall be the following amounts per annum, based
upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the “Covenants” section of
this Agreement), as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate (or,
if
no compliance certificate is required, the Borrower’s most recent financial
statements) received by the Bank as required in the Covenants
section:

received by the Bank until the date the next compliance certificate or financial
statement is received; provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to timely
deliver the next compliance certificate or financial statement, the Applicable
Margin from the date such compliance certificate or financial statement was
due
until the date such compliance certificate or financial statement is received
by
the Bank shall be the highest pricing level set forth above.
2.8. Standby
Letters of Credit.
| (a) |
During
the availability period, at the request of the Borrower, the Bank
will
issue standby letters of credit with a maximum maturity of 365 days
but
not to extend beyond the Facility Expiration Date. The standby letters
of
credit may include a provision providing that the maturity date will
be
automatically extended each year for an additional year unless the
Bank
gives written notice to the contrary; provided, however, that each
standby
letter of credit must include a final maturity date of not later
than one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Facility Expiration Date and
which
will not be subject to automatic
extension.
|
6
| (b) |
The
amount of the standby letters of credit outstanding at any one time
(including the drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the standby letters
of
credit) may not exceed One Million Dollars
($1,000,000).
|
| (c) |
In
calculating the principal amount outstanding under the Facility
Commitment, the calculation shall include the amount of any
standby letters of credit outstanding, including amounts drawn on
any
standby letters of credit and not yet
reimbursed.
|
| (d) |
The
Borrower agrees:
|
| (i) |
Any
sum drawn under a standby letter of credit may, at the option of
the Bank,
be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement.
The
amount will bear interest and be due as described elsewhere in this
Agreement.
|
| (ii) |
If
there is a default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and
make
the Bank whole for any outstanding standby letters of
credit.
|
| (iii) |
The
issuance of any standby letter of credit and any amendment to a standby
letter of credit is subject to the Bank’s written approval and must be in
form and content satisfactory to the Bank and in favor of a beneficiary
acceptable to the Bank.
|
| (iv) |
To
sign the Bank’s form Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of
Credit.
|
| (v) |
To
pay any issuance and/or other fees that the Bank notifies the Borrower
will be charged for issuing and processing standby letters of credit
for

fees, discounts, and other charges.
|
| (vii) |

(1.5%)
per annum of the outstanding undrawn amount of each standby letter
of
credit, payable annually in advance, calculated on the basis of the
face
amount outstanding on the day the fee is calculated. If there is
a default
under this Agreement, at the Bank’s option, the amount of the fee shall be
increased to six percent (6%) per annum, effective starting on the
day the
Bank provides notice of the increase to the
Borrower.

3. OPTIONAL
INTEREST RATE
3.1. Optional
Rates.
The
optional interest rate provided for in Paragraph 1.7 is a rate per year.
Interest will be paid on the first day of the first month following the
commencement of the applicable interest period, and then on the same day of
each
month thereafter
until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this Agreement. No
Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable
interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this
Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of the optional interest
rate
for interest periods commencing after the default occurs. At the end of any
interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in the
paragraph(s) entitled “Interest Rate” above, unless the Borrower has designated
another optional interest rate for the Portion.
3.2. LIBOR
Rate.
The
election of the LIBOR Rate shall be subject to the following terms and
requirements:
| (a) |
The
interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will
be 30,
60 or 90 days or one year. The first day of the interest period must
be a
day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for
business
in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a “LIBOR Banking
Day”). The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days
during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the
practices of the London inter-bank
market.
|
| (b) |
Each
LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000).
|
| (c) |
The
“LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula.
(All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as
of the
first day of the interest period.)
|
LIBOR
Rate = London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(1.00
- Reserve Percentage)
Where,
| (i) |
“London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate” means, for any applicable interest period, the
rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate
(“BBA
LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source
providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time
to
time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking
Days
before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits
(for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term
equivalent to such interest period. If such rate is not available
at such
time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will
be
determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the
Bank. A
“London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for
business and dealing in offshore
dollars.
|
8
| (ii) |
“Reserve
Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for
determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the
Federal
Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal
Reserve
Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent.
The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include,
but not
be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other
reserve percentages.
|
| (d) |
The
Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later
than
12:00 noon Pacific time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day
on
which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified
above.
For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days
in any
of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three
days
before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.
|
| (e) |
The
Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate
Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and
is
continuing:
|
| (i) |
Dollar
deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest
period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London inter-bank
market; or
|
| (ii) |
the
LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate
Portion.
|
| (f) |
Each
prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason
of
acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described
below. A
“prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the
scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this
Agreement.
|
| (g) |
The
prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the
Bank for
any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment,
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense
arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which
such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have
funded
each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable
interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so
funded.
|
9

and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if
any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted
among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and
disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be
due
on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking
day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.
11
6.5. Interest
Calculation.
Except
as
otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.
Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement
shall
continue to bear interest until paid.
6.6. Default
Rate.
Upon
the
occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered
on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this
Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due,
will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage
points higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement.
This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver
of
any default.
6.7. Taxes.
If
any
payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the United
States, the Borrower will not deduct any foreign taxes from any payments it
makes to the Bank. If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the
Borrower (including payments under this paragraph), the Borrower will pay the
taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time interest is paid, any
additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the
after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed.
The Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official
tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due
date.
6.8. Overdrafts.
At
the
Bank’s sole option in each instance, the Bank may do one of the
following:
| (a) |
The
Bank may make advances under this Agreement to prevent or cover an
overdraft on any account of the Borrower with the Bank. Each such
advance
will accrue interest from the date of the advance or the date on
which the
account is overdrawn, whichever occurs first, at the interest rate
described in this Agreement. The Bank may make such advances even
if the
advances may cause any credit limit under this Agreement to be
exceeded.
|
| (b) |
The
Bank may reduce the amount of credit otherwise available under this
Agreement by the amount of any overdraft on any account of the Borrower
with the Bank.
|
12
This
paragraph shall not be deemed to authorize the Borrower to create overdrafts
on
any of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank.
6.9. Payments
in Kind.
If
the
Bank requires delivery in kind of the proceeds of collection of the Borrower’s
accounts receivable, such proceeds shall be credited to interest, principal,
and
other sums owed to the Bank under this Agreement in the order and proportion
determined by the Bank in its sole discretion. All such credits will be
conditioned upon collection and any returned items may, at the Bank’s option, be
charged to the Borrower.

creditors. The default will be deemed cured if any bankruptcy petition filed
against the Borrower, any Obligor, or any general partner of the Borrower or
of
any Obligor is dismissed within a period of forty-five (45) days after the
filing; provided, however, that such cure opportunity will be terminated upon

being remedied, the breach will not be considered an event of default under
this
Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Bank

11. ENFORCING
THIS AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS
11.1. Disposition
of Schedules and Reports.
The
Bank

its
discretion, deems appropriate.
11.2. Returned
Merchandise.
Until
the
Bank exercises its rights to collect the accounts receivable as provided under
any security agreement required under this Agreement, the Borrower may continue
its present policies for returned merchandise and adjustments. Credit
adjustments with respect to returned merchandise shall be made immediately
upon
receipt of the merchandise by the Borrower or upon such other disposition of
the
merchandise by the debtor in accordance with the Borrower’s instructions. If a
client adjustment is made with respect to any Acceptable Receivable, the amount
of such adjustment shall no longer be included in the amount of such Acceptable
Receivable in computing the Borrowing Base.
27
11.3. Verification
of Receivables.
The
Bank
may at any time, either orally or in writing, request confirmation from any
debtor of the current amount and status of the accounts receivable upon which
such debtor is obligated.
11.4. Waiver
of Confidentiality.
The
Borrower authorizes the Bank to discuss the Borrower’s financial affairs and
business operations with any accountants, auditors, business consultants, or

parties to disclose to the Bank such financial and business information or
reports (including management letters) concerning the Borrower as the Bank
may
request.
11.5. GAAP.
Except
as
otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to the
Bank and all financial covenants will be made under generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied.
11.6. California
Law.
This
Agreement is governed by California law.
11.7. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement is binding on the Borrower’s and the Bank’s successors and assignees.
The Borrower agrees that it may not assign this Agreement without the Bank’s
prior consent. The Bank may sell participations in or assign this loan, and
may
exchange information about the Borrower (including, without limitation, any
information regarding any hazardous substances) with actual or potential
participants or assignees. If a participation is sold or the loan is assigned,
the purchaser will have the right of set-off against the Borrower.
11.8. Arbitration
and Waiver of Jury Trial.
| (a) |
This
paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims
between
the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including
but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate
to:
(i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or
modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement
(collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration provision
only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary
or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or
administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this
agreement.
|
| (b) |
At
the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved
by
binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act
(Title
9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement
provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. The
arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort
to any
form of class action.
|
28
| (c) |
Arbitration
proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial
services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any
successor
thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any
inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA
is
unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or
(ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may
designate another arbitration organization with similar procedures
to
serve as the provider of
arbitration.
|
| (d) |
The
arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise
required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal
property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no
such
collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of
this
agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however,
if
Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request
of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration
hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for
arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and
the
award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days
of the
close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing
of good
cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional
sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be
submitted
to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered
and
enforced.
|
| (e) |
The
arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining
any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim
is
barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations,
the
service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is
the
equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this
arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined
by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award
legal fees pursuant to the terms of this
agreement.
|
| (f) |
This
paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise
self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property
collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or
(iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but
not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment
of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary
remedies.
|
| (g) |
The
procedure described above will not apply if the Claim, at the time
of the
proposed submission to arbitration, arises from or relates to an
obligation to the Bank secured by real property. In this case, all
of the
parties to this agreement must consent to submission of the Claim
to
arbitration. If both parties do not consent to arbitration, the Claim
will
be resolved as follows: The parties will designate a referee (or
a panel
of referees) selected under the auspices of AAA in the same manner
as
arbitrators are selected in AAA administered proceedings. The designated
referee(s) will be appointed by a court as provided in California
Code of
Civil Procedure Section 638 and the following related sections. The
referee (or presiding referee of the panel) will be an active attorney
or
a retired judge. The award that results from the decision of the
referee(s) will be entered as a judgment in the court that appointed
the
referee, in accordance with the provisions of California Code of
Civil
Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
|
29
| (h) |
The
filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of
the
right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require
submittal of the Claim to
arbitration.
|
| (i) |
By
agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily
waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
Claim.
Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this agreement
to
arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties
irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial
by
jury in respect of such Claim to the maximum extent they may legally
do so
under applicable California law. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this
agreement.
|
11.9. Severability;
Waivers.
If
any
part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be
enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default.
If
the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver
under this Agreement must be in writing.
11.10. Attorneys’
Fees.
The
Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees
incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of
any
rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in
connection with this Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver,
“workout” or restructuring under this Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or
arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or
arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event
that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy
Code
(Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank
is
entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank
related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the
Bank in such a case. As used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the
allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel.
11.11. One
Agreement.
This
Agreement and any related security or other agreements required by this
Agreement, collectively:
| (a) |
represent
the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and
the
Borrower concerning this credit;
|
30
| (b) |
replace
any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrower
concerning this credit; and
|
| (c) |
are
intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and
exclusive
statement of the terms agreed to by
them.
|
In
the
event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required
by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. Any reference in any related
document to a “promissory note” or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated
as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement,
as
now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.
11.12. Indemnification.
The
Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability,
damages, judgments, and reasonable costs of any kind relating to or arising
directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required
hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower
hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of
this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes
but is not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the reasonable
allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its
parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents,
successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of
the
Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be
obligations of the Borrower, due and payable immediately without
demand.
11.13. Notices.
Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between the Bank
and the Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally
delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier,
to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile
to the fax numbers listed on the signature page, or to such other addresses
as
the Bank and the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing. Notices
and
other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of
receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage
prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, (iii) if sent by
electronic mail, when transmitted, or (iv) if hand-delivered, by courier or
otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when
delivered.
11.14. Headings.
Article
and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the
interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.
11.15. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient,
and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute
but one and the same agreement.
31
This
Agreement is executed as of the date stated at the top of the first
