notice, lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, and
provided that Seller is in compliance with the terms and conditions hereof,

Transmittal delivered to Buyer. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on all the
information provided by Seller to Buyer on or with the Invoice Transmittal and
to rely on the signature on any Invoice Transmittal as an authorized signature
of Seller.
2.2 Acceptance of Receivables. Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase
any Receivable listed on an Invoice Transmittal. Buyer may exercise its sole
discretion in approving the credit of each Account Debtor before buying any
Receivable. Upon acceptance by Buyer of all or any of the Receivables described
on any Invoice Transmittal, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Advance Rate
multiplied by the face amount of each Receivable which Buyer desires to
purchase, net of deferred revenue and offsets related to each specific Account
Debtor. All such advances and other payments made by the Buyer, as described
above, shall be an "Advance" with respect to such Receivables. Upon Buyer's
acceptance of the Receivable and payment to Seller of the Advance, the
Receivable shall become a "Purchased Receivable." It shall be a condition to
each Advance that (i) all of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 6 of this Agreement be true and correct on and as of the date of the
related Invoice Transmittal and on and as of the date of such Advance as though
made at and as of each such date, and (ii) no Event of Default or any event or
condition that with notice, lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from such
Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
aggregate amount of all Purchased Receivables outstanding at any time exceed the
Facility Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
outstanding balance of Seller's Obligations (as defined herein) to Buyer shall
at no time exceed Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00).
2.3 Effectiveness of Sale to Buyer. Effective upon Buyer's payment of an
Advance, and for and in consideration therefor and in consideration of the
covenants of this Agreement, Seller hereby absolutely sells, transfers and
assigns to Buyer, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to each
Purchased Receivable and all monies due or which may become due on or with
respect to such Purchased Receivable. Buyer shall be the absolute owner of each
Purchased Receivable. Buyer shall have, with respect to any goods related to the
Purchased Receivable, all the rights and remedies of an unpaid seller under the
Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, including the
rights of replevin, claim and delivery, reclamation and stoppage in transit.
2.4 Establishment of a Reserve. Upon the purchase by Buyer of each
Purchased Receivable, Buyer shall establish a reserve. The reserve shall be the
amount by which the face amount of the Purchased Receivable exceeds the Advance
on that Purchased Receivable (the "Reserve"); provided, the Reserve with respect
to all Purchased Receivables outstanding at any one time shall be an amount not
less than twenty percent (20.0%) of the Account Balance at that time and may be
set at a higher percentage at Buyer's sole discretion. The reserve shall be a
book balance maintained on the records of Buyer and shall not be a segregated
fund.
3. Collections, Charges and Remittances.
3.1 Collections. Upon receipt by Buyer of Collections, Buyer shall
promptly credit such Collections to Seller's Account Balance on a daily basis;
provided, that if Seller is in default under this Agreement, Buyer shall apply
all Collections to Seller's Obligations hereunder in such order and manner as
Buyer may determine. If an item of collection is not honored or Buyer does not
receive good funds for any reason, the amount shall be included in the Account
Balance as if the Collections had not been received and Finance Charges under
Section 3.2 shall accrue thereon.

3.2 Finance Charges. On each Reconciliation Date, Seller shall pay to
Buyer a finance charge at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate of the Buyer's
Prime Rate and two and one-half percent (2.5%), on the average daily Account
Balance outstanding during the applicable Reconciliation Period (the "Finance
Charges"). Buyer shall deduct the accrued Finance Charges from the Reserve as
set forth in Section 3.6 below.
3.3 Administrative Fee. On each Reconciliation Date, Seller shall pay to
Buyer an Administrative Fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the face
amount of each Purchased Receivable first purchased during that Reconciliation
Period (the "Administrative Fee"). Buyer shall deduct the Administrative Fee
from the Reserve as set forth in Section 3.6 below.
3.4 Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) ("Facility Fee") is due upon the execution of this
Agreement.
3.5 Accounting. Buyer shall prepare and send to Seller after the close of
business for each Reconciliation Period, an accounting of the transactions for
that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Purchased Receivables,
all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, and the Administrative Fee. The
accounting shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless Seller makes written
objection to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the Buyer mails the accounting
to Seller.
3.6 Refund to Seller. Provided that there does not then exist an Event of
Default or any event or condition that with notice, lapse of time or otherwise
would constitute an Event of Default, Buyer shall refund to Seller by check
after the Reconciliation Date, the amount, if any, which Buyer owes to Seller at
the end of the Reconciliation Period according to the accounting prepared by
Buyer for that Reconciliation Period (the "Refund"). The Refund shall be an
amount equal to:
(A) (1) The Reserve as of the beginning of that Reconciliation
Period, plus
(2) the Reserve created for each Purchased Receivable purchased
during that Reconciliation Period,
minus
(B) The total for that Reconciliation Period of:

payment thereof by deduction from the Refund;

(6) all amounts due, including professional fees and expenses,
as set forth in Section 12 for which oral or written demand
has been made by Buyer to Seller during that Reconciliation
Period to the extent Buyer has agreed to accept payment
thereof by deduction from the Refund.

In the event the formula set forth in this Section 3.6 results in an amount due
to Buyer from Seller, Seller shall make such payment in the same manner as set
forth in Section 4.3 hereof for repurchases. If the formula set forth in this
Section 3.6 results in an amount due to Seller from Buyer, Buyer shall make such
payment by check, subject to Buyer's rights under Section 4.3 and Buyer's rights
of offset and recoupment.
3.7 Good Faith Deposit. Seller has paid to Buyer a Good Faith Deposit of
$5,000.00 to initiate Buyer's due diligence review process. Any portion of the
deposit not utilized to pay expenses will be applied to the Facility Fee.
4. Recourse and Repurchase Obligations.
4.1 Recourse. Buyer's acquisition of Purchased Receivables from Seller
shall be with full recourse against Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, in
the event the Obligations exceed the amount of Purchased Receivables and
Collateral, Seller shall be liable for any deficiency.

demand, the full face amount, or any unpaid portion, of any Purchased
Receivable:

insolvent (as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) or who is
generally not paying its debts as such debts become due; or
(C) with respect to which there has been any breach of warranty or
representation set forth in Section 6 hereof or any breach of any covenant
contained in this Agreement; or
(D) with respect to which the Account Debtor asserts any discount,
allowance, return, dispute, counterclaim, offset, defense, right of
recoupment, right of return, warranty claim, or short payment; or

together with all reasonable attorneys' and professional fees and expenses and
all court costs incurred by Buyer in collecting such Purchased Receivable and/or
enforcing its rights under, or collecting amounts owed by Seller in connection
with, this Agreement (collectively, the "Repurchase Amount").
4.3 Seller's Payment of the Repurchase Amount or Other Amounts Due Buyer.
When any Repurchase Amount or other amount owing to Buyer becomes due, Buyer
shall inform Seller of the manner of payment which may be any one or more of the
following in Buyer's sole discretion: (a) in cash immediately upon demand
therefor; (b) by delivery of substitute invoices and an Invoice Transmittal
acceptable to Buyer which shall thereupon become Purchased Receivables; (c) by
Adjustment to the Reserve pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof; (d) by deduction from

after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller shall, upon Buyer's demand
(or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 9(B) or the end of the
Facility Period, immediately without notice or demand from Buyer) repurchase all
the Purchased Receivables then outstanding, or such portion thereof as Buyer may
demand. Such demand may, at Buyer's option, include and Seller shall pay to

respect to each Purchased Receivable then outstanding together with all accrued
Finance Charges, Adjustments, Administrative Fees, Early Termination Fee,
attorney's and professional fees, court costs and expenses as provided for
herein, and any other Obligations. Upon receipt of payment in full of the
Obligations, Buyer shall immediately instruct Account Debtors
5
to pay Seller directly, and return to Seller any Refund due to Seller. For the
purpose of calculating any Refund due under this Section only, the
Reconciliation Date shall be deemed to be the date Buyer receives payment in
good funds of all the Obligations as provided in this Section 4.4.
4.5 Early Termination Fee. Without limiting any of Buyer's termination
rights appearing in Section 17 of this Agreement, this Agreement may be
terminated prior to the last day of the Facility Period as follows: (i) by
Seller, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is

Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) (the "Early Termination Fee"). The
termination fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of termination
and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate
applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer
agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if Buyer agrees to refinance the
Obligations (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the last day of the
Facility Period.
5. Power of Attorney. Seller does hereby irrevocably appoint Buyer and its
successors and assigns as Seller's true and lawful attorney in fact, and hereby

to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, or discharge the whole or any
part of the Purchased Receivables; (b) to demand, collect, receive, xxx, and
give releases to any Account Debtor for the monies due or which may become due

item which is payment for both a Purchased Receivable and another Receivable,
the funds shall first be applied to the Purchased Receivable and, so long as

time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, the excess shall be

consolidate, with any other Person, or acquire, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or
property of another Person;
(U) Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer,
keep any Collateral in the possession of any third party bailee (such as
at a warehouse). In the event that Seller, after the date hereof, intends
to store or otherwise deliver any Collateral to such a bailee, then Seller
shall receive the prior written consent of Buyer and such bailee must
acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the
benefit of Buyer; and
9
(V) Seller shall provide Buyer with: (i) as soon as available, but
no later than thirty (30) days after the last day of each month during
which either Advances were requested or Obligations were outstanding, a
company prepared consolidated balance sheet and income statement, prepared
under GAAP, covering Seller's consolidated operations during such month,
in a form acceptable to Buyer and certified by an authorized officer of
Seller; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than thirty (30) days
after the last day of each month during which either Advances were
requested or Obligations were outstanding, an aged listings of Seller's
Receivables (by invoice date) and accounts payable (by invoice date);
(iii) as soon as available, but no later than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the end of Seller's fiscal year, audited consolidated financial

unqualified opinion on the financial statements from an independent
certified public accounting firm acceptable to Buyer; (iv) Seller shall
provide Buyer with a deferred revenue listing within thirty (30) days of

and (vii) budgets, sales projections, operating plans or other financial
information Buyer requests; and
(W) Seller will allow Buyer to audit Seller's Collateral, including,
but not limited to, Seller's Receivables, at Seller's expense, no later
than ninety (90) days after the execution of this Agreement and annually
thereafter, upon reasonable notice. Provided, however, if an Event of
Default has occurred, Buyer may audit Seller's Collateral, including, but
not limited to, Seller's Receivables at Buyer's sole and exclusive
discretion and without notification and authorization from Seller.
7. Adjustments. In the event of a breach of any of the representations,
warranties, or covenants set forth in Section 6, or in the event any Adjustment
or dispute is asserted by any Account Debtor, Seller shall promptly advise Buyer
and shall, subject to the Buyer's approval, resolve such disputes and advise
Buyer of any adjustments. Unless the disputed Purchased Receivable is
repurchased by Seller and the full Repurchase Amount is paid, Buyer shall remain
the absolute owner of any Purchased Receivable which is subject to Adjustment or
repurchase under Section 4.2 hereof, and any rejected, returned, or recovered
personal property, with the right to take possession thereof at any time. If
such possession is not taken by Buyer, Seller is to resell it for Buyer's
account at Seller's expense with the proceeds made payable to Buyer. While
Seller retains possession of said returned goods, Seller shall segregate said
goods and xxxx them "property of Silicon Valley Bank." Buyer has a security
interest in the Purchased Receivables and until receipt of payment, has the
right to take possession of any rejected, returned, or recovered personal
property.
8. Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance to
Buyer of all of the Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a continuing lien
upon and security interest in all of Seller's now existing or hereafter arising
rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located. Any security
interest shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Buyer
may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral.
Seller is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement
with respect to which the Seller is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise
restricts Seller from granting a security interest in Seller's interest in such
license or agreement or any other property. Without prior consent from Buyer,
Seller shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement
which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Seller's business or
financial condition. Seller shall take such steps as Buyer requests to obtain
the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary
for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Buyer
to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or
prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now
existing or entered into in the future.
Seller is not authorized to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any
Collateral without Buyer's prior written consent, except for the sale of
finished inventory in the Seller's usual course of business. Seller agrees to
sign UCC
10
financing statements, in a form acceptable to Buyer, and any other instruments
and documents requested by Buyer to evidence, perfect, or protect the interests
of Buyer in the Purchased Receivables and the Collateral or to effect the
purposes of this Agreement. Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer the originals of
all instruments, chattel paper and documents evidencing or related to Purchased
Receivables and Collateral.
9. Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
(A) Seller fails to pay any amount owed to Buyer as and when due;
(B) There shall be commenced by or against Seller any voluntary or
involuntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or
custodian for any of its assets;
(C) Seller is generally not paying its debts as they become due;
(D) Any involuntary lien, garnishment, attachment or the like is
issued against or attaches to the Purchased Receivables or any Collateral,
or the service of process upon Buyer seeking to attach, by mesne or
trustee process any funds of Seller on deposit with Buyer;
(E) Seller shall breach any covenant, agreement, warranty, or
representation set forth herein, it shall constitute an immediate default
hereunder;
(F) Seller is not in compliance with, or otherwise is in default
under, any term of any document, instrument or agreement evidencing a
debt, obligation or liability of any kind or character of Seller, now or
hereafter existing, in favor of Buyer or any division or affiliate of
Silicon Valley Bank, regardless of whether such debt, obligation or
liability is direct or indirect, primary or secondary, joint, several or
joint and several, or fixed or contingent, together with any and all
renewals and extensions of such debts, obligations and liabilities, or any
part thereof;
(G) An event of default shall occur under any guaranty executed by
any guarantor (if any) of the Obligations of Seller to Buyer under this
Agreement, or any material provision of any such guaranty shall for any
reason cease to be valid or enforceable or any such guaranty shall be
repudiated or terminated, including by operation of law;
(H) A Material Adverse Change occurs;
(I) A default or event of default shall occur under any agreement
between Seller and any creditor of Seller that has entered into a
subordination agreement with Buyer; or
(J) Any creditor that has entered into a subordination agreement
with Buyer shall breach any of the terms of or not comply with such
subordination agreement.
10. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (1)
without implying any obligation to buy Receivables, Buyer may cease buying
Receivables or extending any financial accommodations to Seller; (2) all or a
portion of the Obligations shall be, at the option of and upon demand by Buyer,
or with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 9(B), automatically
and without notice or demand, due and payable in full; (3) Buyer may apply to
the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Seller it holds, or (ii) any
amount held by Buyer owing to or for the credit or the account of Seller; (4)
Buyer shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies under this
Agreement and under applicable law, including the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, all the power of
attorney rights described in Section 5 with respect to all Collateral, and the
right to collect, dispose of, sell, lease, use, and realize upon all Purchased
Receivables and all Collateral in any commercial reasonable manner; and (5)
Buyer may make any payments and do any acts it considers
11
necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral.
Seller shall assemble the Collateral if Buyer requests and make it available as
Buyer designates. Buyer 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. Seller grants Buyer a license
to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of
Buyer's rights or remedies. Seller and Buyer agree that any notice of sale
required to be given to Seller shall be deemed to be reasonable if given five
(5) days prior to the date on or after which the sale may be held. In the event
that the Obligations are accelerated hereunder, Seller shall repurchase all of
the Purchased Receivables as set forth in Section 4.4.
11. Accrual of Interest; Demand Waiver. If any amount owed by Seller
hereunder is not paid when due, including, without limitation, amounts due under
Xxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxxx Amounts, amounts due under Section 12, and any other
Obligations, such amounts shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the
per annum rate of the Finance Charges until the earlier of (i) payment in good
funds or (ii) entry of a final judgment thereof, at which time the principal
amount of any money judgment remaining unsatisfied shall accrue interest at the
highest rate allowed by applicable law. Seller 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 guaranties held by Buyer on which
Seller is liable.
12. Fees, Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Seller shall pay to
Buyer immediately upon demand all fees, costs and expenses (including fees of
attorneys and professionals and their costs and expenses) that Buyer incurs or
may from time to time impose in connection with any of the following: (a)
preparing, negotiating, administering, and enforcing this Agreement or any other
agreement executed in connection herewith, including any amendments, waivers or
consents in connection with any of the foregoing, (b) any litigation or dispute
(whether instituted by Buyer, Seller or any other Person) in any way relating to
the Purchased Receivables, the Collateral, this Agreement or any other agreement
executed in connection herewith or therewith, (c) enforcing any rights against
Seller or any guarantor, or any Account Debtor, (d) protecting or enforcing its
interest in the Purchased Receivables or the Collateral, (e) collecting the
Purchased Receivables and the Obligations, and (f) the representation of Buyer
in connection with any bankruptcy case or insolvency proceeding involving
Seller, any Purchased Receivable, the Collateral, any Account Debtor, or any
guarantor. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its
officers, employees, and agents against: (a) obligations, demands, claims, and
liabilities asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) losses or expenses incurred, or paid by
Buyer from or consequential to transactions between Buyer and Seller (including
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses).
13. Severability; Waiver; Amendments in Writing; Integration. In the event
that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by reason of law, this
Agreement shall be construed as not containing such provision and the remainder
of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Buyer retains all of its
rights, even if it makes an Advance after an Event of Default. If Buyer waives
an Event of Default, it may enforce a later Event of Default. Any consent or
waiver under, or amendment of, this Agreement must be in writing. Nothing
contained herein, or any action taken or not taken by Buyer at any time, shall
be construed at any time to be indicative of any obligation or willingness on
the part of Buyer to amend this Agreement or to grant to Seller any waivers or
consents. This Agreement is the entire agreement about this subject matter and
supersedes prior negotiations or agreements.
14. Account Collection Services. Certain Account Debtors may require or
prefer that all of Seller's Receivables be paid to the same address and/or
party, or Seller and Buyer may agree that all Receivables with respect to
certain Account Debtors be paid to one party. In such event Buyer and Seller may
agree that Buyer shall collect all Receivables whether owned by Seller or Buyer
and (provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default or event that
with notice, lapse or time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default,
and subject to Buyer's rights in the Collateral) Buyer agrees to remit to Seller
the amount of the Receivables collections it receives with respect to
Receivables other than Purchased Receivables. It is understood and agreed by
Seller that this Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Buyer to do any
act other than to turn over such amounts. All such Receivables and collections
are Collateral and in the event of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer shall have
no duty to remit collections of Collateral and may apply such collections to the
obligations hereunder and Buyer shall have the rights of a secured party under
the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code.
12
15. Notices. All notices shall be given to Buyer and Seller at the
addresses or faxes set forth on the first page of this Agreement and shall be
deemed to have been delivered and received: (a) if mailed, three (3) calendar
days after deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage pre-paid,
(b) one (1) calendar day after deposit with an overnight mail or messenger
service; or (c) on the same date of confirmed transmission if sent by hand
delivery, telecopy, telefax or telex.
16. Choice of Law, Venue and Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement shall be
construed, governed, and enforced pursuant to the laws (without regard to
conflict of law principles) of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Seller and
Buyer each submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts
in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE BUYER SHALL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE SELLER OR ITS
PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH THE BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY
OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE THE
BUYER'S RIGHTS AGAINST THE SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY.
SELLER AND BUYER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
17. Termination. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at
any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any termination of this Agreement shall
not affect Buyer's security interest in the Collateral and Buyer's ownership of
the Purchased Receivables, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective,
and Buyer's rights and remedies hereunder shall survive such termination, until
all transactions entered into and Obligations incurred hereunder or in
connection herewith have been completed and satisfied in full.
18. Titles and Section Headings. The titles and section headings used
herein are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this
Agreement.
19. Other Agreements. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not
adversely affect the rights of Buyer or any other division or affiliate of
Silicon Valley Bank under any other document, instrument or agreement. The terms
of such other documents, instruments and agreements shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement. In the event of a
conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any other
document, instrument or agreement between Seller on the one hand, and Buyer or
any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank on the other hand, Buyer
shall determine in its sole discretion which provision shall apply. Seller
acknowledges specifically that any security agreements, liens and/or security
interests currently securing payment of any obligations of Seller owing to Buyer
or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank also secure Seller's
obligations under this Agreement, and are valid and subsisting and are not
adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges
that (a) any collateral under other outstanding security agreements or other
documents between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon
Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and (b) a
default by Seller under this Agreement constitutes a default under other
outstanding agreements between Seller and Buyer or any other division or
affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank.
20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of
successors and permitted assigns of each party. Seller may not assign this
Agreement or any rights under it without Buyer's prior written consent which may
be granted or withheld in Buyer's discretion. Buyer may, without the consent of
or notice to Seller, sell, transfer, or grant participation in any part of
Buyer's obligations, rights or benefits under this Agreement.
21. Right of Set-Off. Seller and any guarantor hereby grant to Buyer, a
lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to
Buyer, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits,
credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of Buyer or any
13
entity under the control of Silicon Valley Bank or in transit to any of them. At
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without demand or notice, Buyer may set off the same or any part thereof and
apply the same to any liability or obligation of Seller and any guarantor even
though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing
the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE SELLER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
22. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for performance of all
obligations in this Agreement.
23. Application of Funds. Seller agrees that any disposition of the
Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by either the Seller or any other
Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Buyer under the
Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code.
24. Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts and when executed
and delivered are one Agreement.
25. Remedies Cumulative. Buyer's rights and remedies under this Agreement,
or any other documents, instruments and agreement by and between Seller and
Buyer are cumulative. Buyer has all rights and remedies provided under the
Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, by law, or in equity. Buyer's exercise of
one right or remedy is not an election, and Buyer's waiver of any Event of
Default is not a continuing waiver. Buyer's delay is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Buyer and
then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was
given.
26. Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this
Agreement continue in force while any Purchased Receivable amount remains
outstanding. Seller's indemnification obligations survive until all statutes of
limitations for actions that may be brought against Buyer have run.
27. Confidentiality. Buyer shall use the same degree of care handling
Seller's confidential information that it uses for its own confidential
information, but may disclose information; (i) to its Subsidiaries or affiliates
in connection with their business with Seller, (ii) to prospective transferees
or purchasers of any interest in the Agreement, (iii) as required by law,
regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with an
examination or audit and (v) as it considers appropriate exercising the remedies
under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that
is either: (a) in the public domain or in Buyer's possession when disclosed, or
becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Buyer; or (b) disclosed to
Buyer by a third party, if Buyer does not know that the third party is
prohibited from disclosing the information.
