Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.
(c) The Borrower agrees not to permit the outstanding principal balance of
the line of credit to exceed the Commitment.
1.2 Availability Period. The line of credit is available between the
date of this Agreement and March 1, 1998 (the "Expiration Date")
unless the Borrower is in default.
1.3 Interest Rate.
(a) Unless the Borrower elects an optional interest rate as described
below, the interest rate is the Bank's Reference Rate.
(b) The Reference Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time
to time by the Bank in ***** as its Reference Rate. The Reference
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
Reference Rate. Any change in the Reference Rate shall take effect at
the opening of business on the day specified in the public
announcement of a change in the Bank's Reference Rate.
1.4 Repayment Terms.
(a) The Borrower will pay interest on March 1, 1997 and then monthly
thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under
this line of credit.
(b) The Borrower will repay in full all principal and any unpaid interest
or other charges outstanding under this line of credit no later than
the Expiration Date.
(c) Any amount bearing interest at an optional interest rate (as described
below) may be repaid at the
end of the applicable interest period, which shall no later than
ninety (90) days after the Expiration Date.
1.5 Optional Interest Rates. Instead of the interest rate based on the
Bank's Reference Rate, the Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the
line of credit (during the availability period and during the term repayment
period) bear interest at the rate(s) described below during an interest
period agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower. Each interest rate is a rate
per year. Interest will be paid on the last day of each interest period, and
on the first day each month during the interest period. At the end of any
interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate based on the
Reference Rate, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest
rate for the portion.
1.6 Fixed Rate. The Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the
principal balance of the line of credit bear interest at the Fixed Rate,
subject to the following requirements:
(a) The "Fixed Rate" means the fixed interest rate the Bank and the
Borrower agree will apply to the portion during the applicable interest
period.
(b) The interest period during which the Fixed Rate will be in effect will
be no shorter than 14 days and no longer than one year.
(c) Each Fixed Rate portion will be for an amount not less than Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).
(d) The Borrower may not elect a Fixed Rate with respect to any portion
of the principal balance of the line of credit which is scheduled to
be repaid before the last day of the applicable interest period.
(e) Any portion of the principal balance of the line of credit already
bearing interest at the Fixed Rate will not be converted to a
different rate during its interest period.
(f) Each prepayment of a Fixed 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 equal to
the amount (if any) by which
(i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the
amount prepaid had it not been paid until the last day of the
interest period, exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the certificate of
deposit market for a period starting on the date on which it was
prepaid and ending on the last day of the interest period for such
portion.
1.7 LIBOR Rate. The Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the
principal balance bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus 1.00 percentage point.
Designation of a LIBOR Rate portion is subject to the following requirements:
(a) The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will
be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
or twelve months. The first day of the interest period must be a day
other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in California, 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, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (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 the interest rate at which
the Bank's London Branch, London, Great Britain, would offer U.S.
dollar deposits for the applicable interest period to other major
banks in the London inter-bank market at approximately 11:00 a.m.
London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of
the interest period. A "London Banking Day" is a day on which the
Bank's London Branch is open for business and dealing in offshore
dollars.
(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 ***** time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day
on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Bank will be set, as specified
above.
(e) The Borrower may not elect a LIBOR Rate with respect to any principal
amount which is scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the
applicable interest period.
(f) Any portion of the principal balance already bearing interest at the
LIBOR Rate will not be converted to a different rate during its
interest period.
(g) 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. The prepayment fee shall be equal to the amount (if
any) by which:
(i) the additional interest which would have been payable during the
interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been prepaid
exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic certificate
of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market, or other
appropriate money market selected by the Bank, for a period
starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the
last day of the interest period for such portion (or the
scheduled payment date for the amount prepaid, if earlier).
(h) 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 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.
2. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
2.1 Requests for Credit. Each request for an extension of credit will be
made in writing in a manner acceptable to the Bank, or by another means
acceptable to the Bank.
2.2 Disbursements and Payments. Each disbursement by the Bank and each
payment by the Borrower will be:
(a) made at the Bank's branch (or other location) selected by the Bank
from time to time;
(b) made for the account of the Bank's branch selected by the Bank from
time to time;
(c) made in immediately available funds, or such other type of funds
selected by the Bank;
(d) evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at
its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory
notes.
2.3 Telephone Authorization.
(a) The Bank may honor telephone instructions for advances or repayments or
for the designation of optional interest rates given by any one of the
individual signer(s) of this Agreement or a person or persons
authorized in writing by any one of the signer(s) of this Agreement.
(b) Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from the
Borrower's account number ___________________________, or such other of
the Borrower's accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the
Borrower.
(c) The Borrower indemnifies and excuses the Bank (including the officers,
employees, and agents)
from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act
resulting from telephone instructions it reasonably believes are made
by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions.
This indemnity and excuse will survive this Agreement's termination.
2.4 Direct Debit (Pre-Billing).
(a) The Borrower agrees that the Bank will debit the Borrower's deposit
account number ___________________________, or such other of the
Borrower's accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the
Borrower (the "Designated Account") on the date each payment of
principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the
"Due Date"). If the Due Date is not a banking day, the Designated
Account will be debited on the next banking day.
(b) Approximately 10 days prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the
Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date
(the "Billed Amount"). The calculation will be made on the assumption
that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the
date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be
no changes in the applicable interest rate.
(c) The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount,
regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the "Accrued
Amount"). If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account
differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as
follows:
(i) If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed
Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount
of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by reason
of any such discrepancy.
(ii) If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed
Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount
of the discrepancy.
Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue
based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without
compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any
overpayment.
(d) The Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account
to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated
Account on the date the Bank enters any debt authorized by this
Agreement, the debit will be reversed.
(e) The Borrower may terminate this direct debit arrangement at any time by
sending written notice to the Bank at the address specified at the end
of this Agreement. If the Borrower terminates this arrangement, then
the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement will at the
option of the Bank bear interest at a rate per annum which is 0.50
percentage point higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided
under this Agreement.
2.5 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking
day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in *****. For amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any),
a banking day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is
open for business in ***** and dealing in offshore dollars. 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.
2.6 Taxes. The Borrower will not deduct any taxes from any payments it
makes to the Bank. If any government authority imposes any taxes on any
payments made by the Borrower, 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. Upon request by the
Bank, the Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank
official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within 30 days after the due
date. However, the Borrower will not pay the Bank's net income taxes.
2.7 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.
2.8 Interest on Late Payments. At the Bank's sole option in each
instance, any amount not paid when due under this Agreement (including
interest) shall bear interest from the due date at the Bank's Reference Rate
plus 1.00 percentage points. This may result in a compounding of interest.
2.9 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any default under this Agreement, advances under this Agreement will at the
option of the Bank bear interest at a rate per annum which is 1.00 percentage
point higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this
Agreement. This will not constitute a waiver of any event of default.

7.4 Arbitration.
(a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims
between the Borrower and the Bank, including but not limited to those
that arise from:
(i) This Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or
modifications of this Agreement);
(ii) Any document, Agreement or procedure related to or delivered in
connection with this Agreement;
(iii) Any violation of this Agreement; or
(iv) Any claims for damages resulting from any business conducted
between the Borrower and the Bank, including claims for injury
to persons, property or business interests (torts).
(b) At the request of the Borrower or the Bank, any such controversies or
claims will be settled by arbitration in accordance with the United
States Arbitration Act. The United States Arbitration Act will apply
even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by California
law.
(c) Arbitration proceedings will be administered by the American
Arbitration Association and will be subject to its commercial rules of
arbitration.
(d) For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the
filing of an arbitration pursuant to this paragraph is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit, and any claim or controversy which may be
arbitrated under this paragraph is subject to any applicable statute of
limitations. The arbitrators will have the authority to decide whether
any such claim or controversy is barred by the statute of limitations
and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis.
(e) If there is a dispute as to whether an issue is arbitrable, the
arbitrators will have the authority to resolve any such dispute.
(f) The decision that results from an arbitration proceeding may be
submitted to any authorized court of law to be confirmed and enforced.
(g) The procedure described above will not apply if the controversy or
claim, at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, arises
from or relates to an obligation to the Bank secured by real property
located in California. In this case, both the Borrower and the Bank
must consent to submission of the claim or controversy to arbitration.
If both parties do not consent to arbitration, the controversy or claim
will be settled as follows:
(i) The Borrower and the Bank will designate a referee (or a panel
of referees) selected under the auspices of the American
Arbitration Association in the same manner as arbitrators are
selected in Association-sponsored proceedings;
(ii) The designated referee (or the panel of referees) will be
appointed by a court as provided in California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 638 and the following related sections;
(iii) The referee (or the presiding referee of the panel) will be an
active attorney or a retired judge; and
(iv) The award that results from the decision of the referee (or the
panel) 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.
(h) This provision does not limit the right of the Borrower or the Bank to:
(i) exercise self-help remedies such as setoff;
(ii) foreclose against or sell any real or personal property
collateral; or
(iii) act in a court of law, before, during or after the arbitration
proceeding to obtain;
(A) an interim remedy; and/or
(B) additional or supplementary remedies.
(i) the pursuit of or a successful action for interim, additional or
supplementary remedies, or the filing of a court action, does not constitute
a waiver of the right of the Borrower or the Bank, including the suing party,
to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if the other party contests
the lawsuit. However, if the controversy or claim arises from or relates to
an obligation to the Bank which is secured by real property located in
California at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, this right
is limited according to the provision above requiring the consent of both the
Borrower and the Bank to seek resolution through arbitration.
(j) If the Bank forecloses against any real property securing this
Agreement, the Bank has the option to exercise the power of sale under
the deed of trust or mortgage, or to proceed by judicial foreclosure.
7.5 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not
