described therein unless within seven (7) calendar days after
such statement of transaction or billing statement is received by
Customer, Customer provides IBM Credit written notice objecting
that such amount or transaction is incorrectly described therein
and specifying the error(s), if any, contained therein. IBM

deficiency", whether or not waived, (D) allow or suffer to exist
any occurrence and during the continuance of a "reportable
event" or any other event or condition, which presents a material
- -
risk of termination by the PBGC of any Plan (other than a
"multi-employer benefit plan"), or (E) fail to notify IBM Credit
as required in Section 7.5. As used in this Agreement, the terms
"accumulated funding deficiency" and "reportable event" shall
have the respective meanings assigned to them in ERISA, and the
term "prohibited transaction" shall have the meaning assigned to
it in the Code and ERISA. For purposes of this Section 8.8, the
terms material liability, tax, penalty, accumulated funding
deficiency and risk of termination shall mean a liability, tax,
penalty, accumulated funding deficiency or risk of termination
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
8.9. Additional Negative Pledges. Customer will not, directly
or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or
become effective any contractual obligation which may restrict or
inhibit IBM Credit's rights or ability to sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
8.10. Storage of Collateral with Bailees and Warehousemen.
Collateral shall not be stored with a bailee, warehouseman or
similar party without the prior written consent of IBM Credit
unless Customer, concurrently with the delivery of such
Collateral to such party, causes such party to issue and deliver
to IBM Credit, in form and substance satisfactory to IBM Credit,
warehouse receipts in the name of IBM Credit evidencing the
storage of such Collateral.
8.11. Use of Proceeds. The Customer shall not use any portion
of the proceeds of any Advances other than for its general
working capital requirements.
8.12. Accounts. The Customer shall not permit or agree to any
extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or
modification of any kind or nature with respect to any Account,
including any of the terms relating thereto, which would affect
IBM Credit's ability to collect payment on any Account in whole
or in part, except for such extensions, compromises or
settlements made by Customer in the ordinary course of its
business, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such
extensions, compromises or settlements does not exceed five
percent (5%) of the Customer's Accounts at any time.
8.13. Indebtedness. The Customer will not create, incur, assume
or permit to exist any Indebtedness, except for Permitted

transactions expressly authorized in this Agreement, provided,
however, that Customer may make loans to its officers in an

hereof, in which case all Obligations shall automatically become
immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice
or other demand) without presentment, demand, protest or any
other action or obligation of IBM Credit; and
(b) immediately terminate the Line of Credit hereunder.
9.3. Remedies. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the

- -
(B) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by IBM
Credit, IBM Credit shall have the right to sell, lease, or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether
in its then condition or after further preparation or processing,
in the name of Customer or IBM Credit, or in the name of such
other party as IBM Credit may designate, either at public or
private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk, for
cash or for credit, with or without warranties or
representations, and upon such other terms and conditions as IBM
Credit in its sole discretion may deem advisable, and IBM Credit
- -
shall have the right to purchase, including for a credit bid, at
any such sale. If IBM Credit, in its sole discretion, determines
that any of the Collateral requires rebuilding, repairing,
maintenance or preparation, IBM Credit shall have the right, at
its option, to do such of the aforesaid as it deems necessary for
the purpose of putting such Collateral in such saleable form as
IBM Credit shall deem appropriate. The Customer hereby agrees
that any disposition by IBM Credit of any Collateral pursuant to
and in accordance with the terms of a repurchase agreement
between IBM Credit and the manufacturer or any supplier
(including any Authorized Supplier) of such Collateral
constitutes a commercially reasonable sale. The Customer agrees,
at the request of IBM Credit, to assemble the Collateral and to
make it available to IBM Credit at places which IBM Credit shall
select, whether at the premises of the Customer or elsewhere, and
to make available to IBM Credit the premises and facilities of
the Customer for the purpose of IBM Credit's taking possession
of, removing or putting such Collateral in saleable form. If
notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by
law, it is agreed that ten (10) Business Days notice shall
constitute reasonable notification.
(C) IBM Credit is hereby granted, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default which has not been
waived in writing by IBM Credit, an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license to use, assign, license or sublicense all computer
software programs, data bases, processes and materials used by
the Customer in its businesses or in connection with any of the
Collateral.
(D) The net cash proceeds resulting from IBM Credit's
exercise of any of the foregoing rights (after deducting all
charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees) shall be applied by IBM Credit to the payment of Customer's
Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as IBM
Credit may in it sole discretion elect. Customer shall remain
liable to IBM Credit for any deficiencies, and IBM Credit in turn
agrees to remit to Customer or its successors or assigns, any
surplus resulting therefrom.
(E) The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended
to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude
the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights, all of which
shall be cumulative.
9.4. Waiver. If IBM Credit seeks to take possession of any of
the Collateral by any court process Customer hereby irrevocably
waives to the extent permitted by applicable law any bonds,
surety and security relating thereto required by any statute,
court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession and any
demand for possession of the Collateral prior to the commencement
of any suit or action to recover possession thereof. In
addition, Customer waives to the extent permitted by applicable
- -
law all rights of set-off it may have against IBM Credit.
Customer further waives to the extent permitted by applicable law
presentment, demand and protest, and notices of non-payment,
non-performance, any right of contribution, dishonor, and any
other demands, and notices required by law.
Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1. Term; Termination. (A) This Agreement shall remain in
force until the earlier of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the
- -
date specified in a written notice by the Customer that it
intends to terminate this Agreement which date shall be no less
than 90 days following the receipt by IBM Credit of such written
notice, and (iii) termination by IBM Credit after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the date
that this Agreement is terminated, all of Customer's Obligations
shall be immediately due and payable in their entirety, even if
they are not yet due under their terms.
(B) Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of
Customer's Obligations, no termination of this Agreement or any
of the Other Agreements shall in any way affect or impair the
Customer's Obligations to IBM Credit including, without
limitation, any transaction or event occurring prior to such
termination, and IBM Credit's security interest in the
Collateral.
10.2. Indemnification. The Customer hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless IBM Credit and each of its officers, directors,
agents and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons")
against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs
now or hereinafter arising from the enforcement of this
Agreement, the "Losses") to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any event,
circumstance or condition (a) occurring or existing on or before
the date of this Agreement relating to any financing arrangements
IBM Credit may from time to time have with (i) Customer, (ii) any
Person that shall be acquired by Customer or (iii) any Person
that Customer may acquire all or substantially all of the assets
of, or (b) directly or indirectly, relating to the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or to any of the
Collateral or to any act or omission of the Customer in
connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Customer shall not be obligated to indemnify IBM Credit for any
Losses incurred by IBM Credit which are a result of IBM Credit's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity provided
herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. IBM
Credit shall notify Customer in writing promptly upon obtaining
knowledge of any claim subject to indemnification pursuant to
this paragraph 10.2 and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize
the amount of any indemnified Loss. Customer agrees to pay
promptly, upon demand, all reasonable costs and fees, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by IBM Credit in the
administration, renewal, extension, modification, documentation,
restructuring, "workout", enforcement or collection of any or all
of the Obligations, or in any litigation, arbitration, mediation,
bankruptcy or other proceeding of any type, relating thereto.
10.3. Additional Obligations. IBM Credit, without waiving or
releasing any Obligation or Default of the Customer, may perform
any Obligations of the Customer that the Customer shall fail or
- -
refuse to perform and IBM Credit may, at any time or times
hereafter, but shall be under no obligation so to do, pay,
acquire or accept any assignment of any security interest, lien,
encumbrance or claim against the Collateral asserted by any
person. All sums paid by IBM Credit in performing in
satisfaction or on account of the foregoing and any expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other
charges relating thereto, shall be a part of the Obligations,
payable on demand and secured by the Collateral.
10.4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER IBM CREDIT NOR ANY OTHER
INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER
- -
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR ANY
CLAIMS IN ANY MANNER RELATED THERETO. NOR SHALL IBM CREDIT OR
ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR
ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY
IT OR THEM HEREUNDER, EXCEPT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
10.5. Alteration/Waiver. This Agreement and the Other
Agreements may not be altered or amended except by an agreement
in writing signed by the Customer and by IBM Credit. No delay or
omission of IBM Credit to exercise any right or remedy hereunder,
whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall operate as a
waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. In
the event that IBM Credit at any time or from time to time
dispenses with any one or more of the requirements specified in
this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements, such dispensation
may be revoked by IBM Credit at any time and shall not be deemed
to constitute a waiver of any such requirement subsequent
thereto. IBM Credit's failure at any time or times to require
strict compliance and performance by the Customer of any
undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and
representations of this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall
not waive, affect or diminish any right of IBM Credit thereafter
to demand strict compliance and performance thereof. Any waiver
by IBM Credit of any Default by the Customer under this Agreement
or any of the Other Agreements shall not waive or affect any
other Default by the Customer under this Agreement or any of the
Other Agreements, whether such Default is prior or subsequent to
such other Default and whether of the same or a different type.
None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants, and
representations of the Customer contained in this Agreement or
the Other Agreements and no Default by the Customer shall be
deemed waived by IBM Credit unless such waiver is in writing
signed by an authorized representative of IBM Credit.
10.6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
Other Agreements or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the application of
such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be
affected thereby, the provisions of this Agreement and the Other
Agreements being severable in any such instance.
10.7. One Loan. All Advances heretofore, now or at any time or
times hereafter made by IBM Credit to the Customer under this
Agreement or the Other Agreements shall constitute one loan
secured by IBM Credit's security interests in the Collateral and
by all other security interests, liens and encumbrances
heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter granted by the
Customer to IBM Credit or any assignor of IBM Credit.
- -
10.8. Additional Collateral. All monies, reserves and proceeds
received or collected by IBM Credit with respect to Accounts and
other property of the Customer in possession of IBM Credit at any
time or times hereafter are hereby pledged by Customer to IBM
Credit as security for the payment of Customer's Obligations and
shall be applied promptly by IBM Credit on account of the
Customer's Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
- -
Agreement; provided, however, IBM Credit may release to the
Customer such portions of such monies, reserves and proceeds as
IBM Credit may from time to time determine, in its sole
discretion.
10.9. No Merger or Novations. Neither the obtaining of any
judgment nor the exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall
operate to extinguish the Obligations of the Customer to IBM
Credit secured by this Agreement and shall not operate as a
merger of any covenant in this Agreement, and the acceptance of
any payment or alternate security shall not constitute or create
a novation and the obtaining of a judgment or judgments under a
covenant herein contained shall not operate as a merger of that
covenant or affect IBM Credit's rights under this Agreement.
10.10. Paragraph Titles. The Section titles used in this
Agreement and the Other Agreements are for convenience only and
do not define or limit the contents of any Section.
10.11. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and the Other
Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of IBM
Credit and the Customer and their respective successors and
assigns; provided, that the Customer shall have no right to
assign this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements without the
prior written consent of IBM Credit.
10.12. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, any notice required or desired to be served, given or

instrument.
10.14. Amendment and Restatement. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in any other document to the contrary, it is
understood and agreed by Customer and IBM Credit that the claims
of IBM Credit arising hereunder and existing as of the date
hereof constitute continuing claims arising out of the
obligations of Customer under the Existing Financing Agreement.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Indebtedness
represented by the Advances outstanding as of the date hereof has
not been satisfied or discharged and that this Agreement amends
and restates such Indebtedness and is not intended to effect a
novation of the obligations of Customer which were evidenced by
the Existing Financing Agreement.
10.15. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and
entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties
hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, and neither
this Agreement nor any of the Other Agreements is intended to
operate as, directly or indirectly, nor shall be construed as
effecting in any way, directly or indirectly, a waiver, estoppel,
discharge, release, or other modification of the parties rights
against any Person, nor shall any other Person have any right of
action hereunder.
10.16. General Release. Customer does hereby release, acquit
and forever discharge, for itself and its successors and assigns,
IBM Credit, Affiliates of IBM Credit, and each and every present
and former officer, director, employee, agent, successor and
assign of IBM Credit and Affiliate of IBM Credit (the
"Releasees") from any and all manner of actions, causes of
action, suits, debts, costs, claims and demands whatsoever,
regardless of whether known or unknown, at law or in equity or
under federal, state, foreign, or other law, which against the
Releasees or any one or more of them Customer, ever had, now has
or which can, shall or may hereafter accrue for, upon or by
reason of, arising out of or in connection with any matter, cause
or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the day of
this Agreement, excluding claims arising under ordinary product
and service warranties for product and services purchased by
Customer from Affiliates of IBM Credit in the ordinary course of
Customer's business, but including any claims relating to
Mississippi I or Mississippi II product or services. Customer
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
benefits of any statute, law, rule, regulation or common law,
which may limit the scope of the covenants and releases contained
herein. Customer intends by this Release to forever release,
acquit, waive and forever discharge the Releasees of and from any
and all claims and rights described above, it being understood
that all claims or rights which Customer or any person who claims
by, through or under Customer may have against the Releasees
- -
shall be forever released, acquitted, waived and forever
discharged, and such persons shall be forever barred from
bringing or asserting the same in their own name or names,
jointly or with or through any other person, natural, corporate
or otherwise; provided, however, that Customer is not waiving any
rights or claims under this Agreement arising on or after the
date hereof.
SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:
"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
- -
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT
THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM
MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
