(b) Accounting for Loans.  Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, electronic or written records evidencing the outstanding Obligations of Borrower to each Lender, including without limitation the Obligations resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to Borrower from time to time, and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time in respect of each Loan. The entries made in the electronic or written records maintained pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.2. Request for and Making of Revolving Loans; Swing Loans.

(a) Request for Revolving Loans.  Borrower shall request each Revolving Loan by delivering to Administrative Agent a written Borrowing Notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate complying with Section 8.5 and reflecting sufficient Availability. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, each request for a Loan shall be irrevocable and, in order to be effective, must be received by Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Dallas time, two (2) Business Days prior to the requested funding date, specifying (i) the amount of the requested Loan, and (ii) the requested funding date, which shall be a Business Day.

(b) Making of Swing Loans.  In the case of a request for a Revolving Loan and so long as the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans at such time (including any Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date) minus the amount of collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the current requested Revolving Loans does not exceed the lesser of the Availability at such time or the Revolving Credit Limit, Swing Lender shall make Revolving Loans in the amount of such requested borrowing (any such advance made solely by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such advances being referred to collectively as “Swing Loans”) on the requested funding date applicable thereto (in lieu of any Revolving Loan that otherwise may be made by Lenders pursuant to such request) by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated Account; provided, however, upon the request from Borrower, the Swing Lender may advance a Swing Loan to the Borrower on the same day as the request therefor is made so long as such request is received by Swing Lender prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas time. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other advances of Revolving Loans, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender reasonably believes that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 23   


VI will not be satisfied or waived on the requested funding date, or (ii) the requested borrowing would exceed the Availability on such funding date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived on the funding date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Administrative Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans.

(c) Making of Loans.

(i) Promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Notice, and in any event not later than 1:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the Business Day such borrowing request was received by Administrative Agent, and in the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan (with respect to a request for a borrowing of a Revolving Loan), Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the requested borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m., Dallas time, on the funding date applicable thereto. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds thereof, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable funding date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Administrative Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(ii), Administrative Agent shall not be required to request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any advance if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested borrowing would exceed the Availability on such funding date.

(ii) Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:00 a.m., Dallas time, on the date of a borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Percentage Share of the borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the respective funding date and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and if Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such funding date make such amount available to Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the funding date, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans composing such borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any advance on any funding date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an advance on such funding date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 24   


failure of any other Lender to make the advance to be made by such other Lender on any funding date.

(iii) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Administrative Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-defaulting Lender Party ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s advance was funded by the other Lender Parties) or, if so directed by Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s advance was not funded by the Lender Parties), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made advances to Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may hold and, in its permitted discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage Share shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or (z) such Defaulting Lender makes its Percentage Share of the applicable advance and pays to Administrative Agent all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by any Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than a Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Administrative Agent by Borrower, and without prejudice to any rights Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein relating to the Lenders making funds available to the Administrative Agent and provisions relating to Defaulting Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent is the sole Lender hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, any condition precedent to the making of any Loan), Administrative Agent shall fund the proceeds of such requested Loan into the Designated Account on the applicable funding date.

(d) Disbursement of Proceeds.  Unless otherwise requested by Borrower and agreed by Administrative Agent, the proceeds of each Loan, when funded, shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to the Designated Account.

Section 2.3. Deemed Request for Revolving Loans.  Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, at its election and without necessity for request by Borrower, to make a Revolving Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to any amount due and owing by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 25   


limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees and Lender Expenses, and apply the proceeds thereof in payment of such Obligations. Any such Revolving Loans shall be secured by the Collateral and shall be included in the Obligations.

Section 2.4. Protective Advances.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent is authorized to request, from time to time in its discretion (but without any obligation to do so), that Lenders make, and upon each such request Lenders shall make, Revolving Loans to Borrower which Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof (“Protective Advances”). All such Revolving Loans shall be secured by the Collateral and shall be included in the Obligations.

Section 2.5. Settlement.

(a) It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Percentage Share of the outstanding Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Administrative Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Loans shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with this Section 2.5.

(b) Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Administrative Agent on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans (including, without limitation, Swing Loans) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein: (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Loans (including Swing Loans) exceeds such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans) as of a Settlement Date, then Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Percentage Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Loans (including Swing Loans) is less than such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Percentage Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans). Such amounts made available to Administrative Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans representing Swing Lender’s Percentage Share thereof, shall constitute advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(c) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Loans (including Swing Loans) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Percentage Share as of a Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 26   


payments actually received in good funds by Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(d) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent, to the extent Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Administrative Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any collections or payments received by Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Swing Loans.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST, FEES, REIMBURSEMENTS

Section 3.1. Interest.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan and (2) the Maximum Rate.

(b) At any time when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, effective as of the date on which such Default or Event of Default occurred and continuing for so long as any such Default or Event of Default is continuing, all Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate applicable thereto.

(c) Subject to Section 3.6, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year).

(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, whenever interest is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation.

Section 3.2. Fees.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement:

(a) Commitment Fee.  In consideration of Lenders’ commitment hereunder to make Revolving Loans, Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, payable and calculated as follows: (i) an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) multiplied by such Lender’s Percentage Share of $20,000,000, shall be payable in immediately available funds, on the Agreement Date and (ii) an amount equal to $16,667, which shall be payable on the first day of September 2015.

(b) Unused Line Fee.  Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused line fee determined on a daily basis, payable on the first day of each month, in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum multiplied by such Lender’s Percentage Share of the amount by which the Revolving Credit Limit exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding calendar month, or shorter period if calculated on the Termination Date. Such fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments on the Revolving Loans received by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Revolving Loans immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.2(b).

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 27   


(c) Collateral Monitoring Fee.  Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent, a monthly collateral monitoring fee in the amount of $1,500 for each calendar month, or portion thereof, during the term of this Agreement. The collateral monitoring fee for each calendar month shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date, and shall be prorated for any partial calendar month.

Section 3.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.  If, after the date hereof, the adoption or change of any Applicable Law, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Administrative Agent or Lenders with any directive of any such Governmental Authority shall (i) subject Lenders to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan or Lenders’ obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders under this Agreement in respect of any Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Administrative Agent or Lenders), (ii) impose or modify any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement relating to any assets, liabilities or commitments of Administrative Agent or Lenders or (iii) impose on Administrative Agent or Lenders any condition affecting this Agreement or any extensions of credit or commitments hereunder, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining, any Loans or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Lenders under this Agreement with respect to any Loans, then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate Administrative Agent and/or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction.

Section 3.4. Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for Lenders, Swing Lender or their applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans hereunder, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and Lenders’ and Swing Lender’s obligation to make Loans, shall be suspended until such time as Lenders and Swing Lender may again make, maintain and fund Loans.

Section 3.5. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower or any Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”). If Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Administrative Agent any Lender, (i) in the case of Taxes other than taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or any Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Administrative Agent or such Lender’s (or such Lender’s applicable lending office) is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5(a)) Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iv) Borrower or such Guarantor shall furnish to Administrative Agent and Lenders the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, Borrower and Guarantors shall pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 28   


arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrower and each other Credit Party agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent and Lenders for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Agreement) paid by Administrative Agent or Lenders and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower and the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Loans.

Section 3.6. Maximum Interest; Controlling Limitation.

(a) If the rate of interest on the Obligations, absent the limitations set forth in this Section 3.6, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the actual rate of interest shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in the future, the interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.6, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise provided by this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect, less (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement.

(b) Lender Parties and Borrower each acknowledge, agree, and declare that it is its intention to expressly comply with all Applicable Law in respect of limitations on the amount or rate of interest that can legally be contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document (even if any such provision expressly declares that it controls all other provisions of the Loan Documents), in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount of interest (including the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits, or other compensation which constitutes interest under any Applicable Law) under the Loan Documents paid by Borrower, received by Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, agreed to be paid by Borrower, or requested or demanded to be paid by Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, exceed the Maximum Rate including resulting in an amount or a rate that would result in the receipt by any Lender Party of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada), and all provisions of the Loan Documents in respect of the contracting for, charging, or receiving compensation for the use, forbearance, or detention of money shall be limited as provided by this Section 3.6. In the event any such interest is paid to Administrative Agent, Lenders or the Swing Lender by Borrower in an amount or at a rate which would exceed the Maximum Rate, Administrative Agent, Lenders or the Swing Lender, then, notwithstanding any entry on Administrative Agent, Lenders’ or the Swing Lender’s books otherwise, such excess shall conclusively be deemed to be automatically applied to any unpaid amount of the Obligations other than interest, in inverse order of maturity, or if the amount of such excess exceeds said unpaid amount, such excess shall

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 29   


be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid, or agreed to be paid, by Borrower, or taken, reserved, or received by Administrative Agent, Lenders or the Swing Lender shall be amortized, prorated, spread, and allocated in respect of the Obligations throughout the full term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other related documents executed pursuant hereto, neither Administrative Agent, Lenders nor the Swing Lender shall ever be entitled to charge, receive, take, reserve, collect, or apply as interest any amount which, together with all other interest under the Loan Documents would result in a rate of interest under the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Rate and, in the event Administrative Agent, Lenders or the Swing Lender ever charges, receives, takes, reserves, collects, or applies any amount in respect of Borrower that otherwise would, together with all other interest under the Loan Documents, be in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall automatically be deemed to be applied in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations other than interest and, if the principal balance thereof is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be refunded to Borrower. Borrower, Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Swing Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under any Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as a standby fee, commitment fee, prepayment charge, delinquency charge, expense, or reimbursement for a third-party expense rather than as interest and (ii) exclude prepayments, acceleration, and the effect thereof. Nothing in any Loan Document shall be construed or so operate as to require or obligate Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs, or charges greater than is permitted by any Applicable Law. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees that the actual effective rate of interest from time to time existing under the Loan Documents, including all amounts agreed to by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Documents which may be deemed to be interest under any Applicable Law, shall be deemed to be a rate which is agreed to and stipulated by Borrower and Lenders in accordance with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT

Section 4.1. Interest.  Accrued interest on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the first calendar day of each month and on the Termination Date.

Section 4.2. Prepayment; Mandatory Payment of Deficiencies.  Borrower may prepay Loans at any time. Borrower promises to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, on demand, the amount, if any, at any time, by which the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans exceeds the Availability at such time.

Section 4.3. Mandatory Payments; Payment on the Termination Date.  On the Termination Date:

(a) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Swing Lender, in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon;

(b) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in full the outstanding principal balance, if any, of the Revolving Loans plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon;

(c) If the Termination Date is prior to the third anniversary of the Agreement Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lender, the amount required by Section 4.5; and

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 30   


(d) Borrower shall pay all unpaid Lender Expenses and all other Obligations payable under the Loan Documents.

Section 4.4. Mandatory Prepayment in Respect of Certain Events.  All proceeds or other cash payments received by Borrower in respect of a Distribution to Borrower or in respect of the sale, lease or other disposition by Borrower of any asset (other than the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business or the sale of Equipment permitted under Section 9.8(c)(ii)), shall be promptly paid to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, for application to the Obligations in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion (unless such proceeds are reinvested in accordance with Section 9.8(c)).

Section 4.5. Early Termination.  Borrower may at any time prepay in full the Obligations and terminate the commitment of Lenders to make Loans hereunder. Borrower acknowledges that occurrence of the Termination Date and prepayment of all outstanding Obligations prior to the third anniversary of the Agreement Date, would result in the loss by Lenders of benefits under this Agreement and that the damages incurred by Lenders as a result thereof would be difficult and impractical to ascertain. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if for any reason the Termination Date occurs on any date prior to the third anniversary of the Agreement Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, in addition to all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, a prepayment penalty, calculated as of the Termination Date, equal to the product of (a) the Revolving Credit Limit times (b) the following percentage, as applicable: (i) if the Termination Date is on any day during the period from the Agreement Date through the day preceding the date that is the first anniversary of the Agreement Date, 3.0%, (ii) if the Termination Date is on any day during the period from and including the date that is the first anniversary of the Agreement Date through the day preceding the date that is the second anniversary of the Agreement Date, 2.0% or (iii) if the Termination Date is on any day during the period from and including the date that is the second anniversary of the Agreement Date through the day preceding the date that is the third anniversary of the Agreement Date, 1.0%, which amount Borrower and Lenders each acknowledges to be the best estimate of the amount necessary to fairly and reasonably compensate Lenders for their loss resulting from occurrence of the Termination Date prior to the third anniversary of the Agreement Date.

Section 4.6. General Payment Provisions.  All payments to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made without set-off, recoupment, or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, at its address set forth in Section 14.6, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

Section 4.7. Application.  All payments not relating to amounts due on Loans or specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received and applied by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.3, shall be applied, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, first, to pay to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders any Lender Expenses then due; second, to interest due and payable on any outstanding Swing Loans; third, to interest due and payable on the Revolving Loans; fourth, to principal of the Swing Loans and the Revolving Loans; fifth, to the payment of any other outstanding Obligations then due and payable, in such manner and order as Administrative Agent determines in its discretion; and sixth, to the Borrower by deposit in the Designated Account. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all

Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right to apply and reverse and reapply any application, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.8. Reinstatement.  If after receipt and application of any payment or proceeds any such application is invalidated, set aside, determined to be void or voidable for any reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such application shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, and Borrower hereby does indemnify Lenders and Administrative Agent and defend and hold Lenders and Administrative Agent harmless in, an amount equal to the amount of such application. The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.9. Account Stated.  Administrative Agent will provide to Borrower a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on Borrower and an account stated, subject to reversals and reapplications made as provided in Section 4.8 and corrections of errors discovered by Administrative Agent, unless Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed.

REMEDIES

Section 11.1. Obligations.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(d), 10.1(e), 10.1(f) or 10.1(g), this Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate and all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind.

(b) If a Default or an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may do any one or more of the following, at any time or times during such existence of a Default or Event of Default and in any order, without notice to or demand on any Credit Party: (i) reduce the Revolving Credit Limit, or the advance rates used in computing the Borrowing Base, and (ii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make Loans.

(c) If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may do any one or more of the following in addition to the actions described in the preceding sentence, at any time or times during such existence of an Event of Default and in any order, without notice to or demand on any Credit Party: (i) terminate the Agreement, (ii) declare any or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable and (iii) pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise under Applicable Law.

Section 11.2. Collateral.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights of Administrative Agent, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under the PPSA. At any time when an Event of Default is in existence: (i) Administrative Agent may notify Account Debtors to make payment directly to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, or to such address as Administrative Agent may specify, and enforce, settle or

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 59   


adjust Accounts, General Intangibles or Chattel Paper with Account Debtors or obligors thereon for amounts and upon terms which Administrative Agent considers appropriate, and in such case, Administrative Agent will credit the Obligations with only the net amounts received by Administrative Agent in payment thereof after deducting all Lender Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith; (ii) Administrative Agent may take possession of the Collateral and keep it on Credit Parties’ premises or remove all or any part of it to another location selected by Administrative Agent; (iii) on request by Administrative Agent, Credit Parties will, at Credit Parties’ cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Administrative Agent; and (iv) Administrative Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Administrative Agent deems appropriate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Administrative Agent will give the appropriate Credit Party reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. For this purpose, it is agreed that at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time of sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral delivered in accordance with Section 14.6 shall be deemed to be reasonable notice in conformity with the UCC. Administrative Agent may adjourn or otherwise reschedule any public sale by announcement at the time and place specified in the notice of such public sale, and such sale may be made at the time and place as so announced without necessity of further notice. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to sell or dispose of any Collateral, notwithstanding any prior notice of intended disposition. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given in reduction of the Obligations until Administrative Agent receives payment in cash, and if any such buyer defaults in payment, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to Credit Parties. In the event Administrative Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Credit Party waives the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required. Each Credit Party agrees that Administrative Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each Credit Party’s Proprietary Rights in completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and each Credit Party’s rights under all licenses shall inure to Administrative Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of Collateral shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the Obligations. Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 11.3. Injunctive Relief.  All cash proceeds of Collateral from time to time existing, including without limitation collections and payments of Accounts, whether consisting of cash, checks or other similar items, at all times shall be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent. All such proceeds shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s Liens. Except as may be specifically allowed otherwise by this Agreement, Credit Parties are expressly prohibited from using, spending, retaining or otherwise exercising any dominion over such proceeds. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that an action for damages against a Credit Party for any breach of such prohibitions shall not be an adequate remedy at law. In the event of any such breach, each Credit Party agrees to the fullest extent allowed by law that Administrative Agent shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain such breach and require compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Section 11.4. Setoff.  Borrower irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to charge any account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or Lenders with such amount as may be necessary from time to time to pay any Obligations when due. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have a contractual right to setoff any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Administrative Agent or Lenders to Borrower against any part of the Obligations.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) are indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full, Credit Parties shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties shall retain all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.

(d) EACH OF THE LENDER PARTIES, ON A RATABLE BASIS, SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT PARTIES”), TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF BORROWER TO DO SO, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS, INCLUDING THOSE INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS WHICH RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF ANY AGENT PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE; provided, that no Lender Party shall be liable for the payment to Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof of any portion of such Indemnified Claims resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, nor shall any Lender Party be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Revolving Loan or other extension of credit hereunder.

Section 13.3. Reliance by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Lenders, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to all Lenders (i) if such condition is satisfactory to Required Lenders, or (ii) unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 13.4. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 13.5. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 62   


same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 13.6. Sharing of Set-Offs and Other Payments.  Each Lender Party agrees that if it shall, whether through the exercise of rights under the Loan Documents or rights of banker’s lien, set off, or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, obtain payment of a portion of the aggregate Obligations owed to it, taking into account all distributions made by Administrative Agent under Section 4.7, causes such Lender Party to have received more than it would have received had such payment been received by Administrative Agent and distributed pursuant to Section 4.7, then (a) it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased and shall be obligated to purchase interests in the Obligations as necessary to cause all Lender Parties to share all payments as provided for in Section 4.7, and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that Administrative Agent and all Lender Parties share all payments of Obligations as provided in Section 4.7; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall in any way affect the right of any Lender Party to obtain payment (whether by exercise of rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim or otherwise) of indebtedness other than the Obligations. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any holder of any such interest or other participation in the Obligations, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by law exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off, or counterclaim as fully as if such holder were a holder of the Obligations in the amount of such interest or other participation. If all or any part of any funds transferred pursuant to this section is thereafter recovered from the seller under this section which received the same, the purchase provided for in this section shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of such recovery, together with interest, if any, if interest is required pursuant to the order of a tribunal order to be paid on account of the possession of such funds prior to such recovery.

Section 13.7. Investments.  Whenever Administrative Agent in good faith determines that it is uncertain about how to distribute to Lender Parties any funds which it has received, or whenever Administrative Agent in good faith determines that there is any dispute among Lender Parties about how such funds should be distributed, Administrative Agent may choose to defer distribution of the funds which are the subject of such uncertainty or dispute. If Administrative Agent in good faith believes that the uncertainty or dispute will not be promptly resolved, or if Administrative Agent is otherwise required to invest funds pending distribution to Lender Parties, Administrative Agent shall invest such funds pending distribution; all interest on any such investment shall be distributed upon the distribution of such investment and in the same proportion and to the same Persons as such investment. All moneys received by Administrative Agent for distribution to Lender Parties (other than to the Person who is Administrative Agent in its separate capacity as a Lender Party) shall be held by Administrative Agent pending such distribution solely as Administrative Agent for such Lender Parties, and Administrative Agent shall have no equitable title to any portion thereof.

Section 13.8. Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent provided that if Administrative Agent shall

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 63   


notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 14.5 and 14.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 13.9. Delegation of Duties.  Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 13.10. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the Administrative Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Administrative Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10; provided, however, that (1) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 64   


Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b) Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 13.11. Agency for Perfection.  Administrative Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC or in accordance with the PPSA can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 13.12. Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents.  Each Lender Party authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender Party agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Administrative Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

Continuing Rights of Lenders in Respect of Obligations.  In the event any amount from time to time applied in reduction of the Obligations is subsequently set aside, avoided, declared invalid or recovered by any Credit Party or any trustee or in bankruptcy, or in the event any Lender is otherwise required to refund or repay any such amount pursuant to any applicable law, then the Obligations shall automatically be deemed to be revived and increased to the extent of such amount and the same shall continue to be secured by the Collateral as if such amount had not been so applied.

Section 14.13. Assignments.

(a) A Lender may at any time sell, assign, delegate or otherwise transfer all or part of the rights and duties of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or any portion of such Lender’s funded Loans or all or any portion of such Lender’s unfunded Commitment) to any of the following Persons (an “Assignee”): (i) any Affiliate thereof or (ii) any other Person, with the prior written consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof has actually been delivered by the Administrative Agent or the assigning Lender to Borrower). Each Credit Party hereby authorizes each Lender to disseminate any information it has pertaining to the Obligations, including without limitation, complete and current credit information on the Credit Parties, each Guarantor and any of their principals to any Assignee or prospective Assignee. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower and each other Credit Party to the Assignee and that the Assignee shall be considered to be a Lender hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, delegation or other transfer of all or any part of the Loans or other Obligations owed to such Lender. Such Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower from time to time to Assignees and participants and to any Affiliate of such Lender or its parent company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, a Lender may pledge, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights and other obligations under or relating to Loans under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a bank or other funding source or any trustee or agent therefor in support of obligations owing by such Lender to such Persons. No such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the acquisition of title to such Lender’s Obligations pursuant to any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by such Person shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in all respects.

(d) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participant rights to any person (other than Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents expect with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver what would extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 69   


Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof). Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.3(a); provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.3 or 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participate Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 14.14. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Credit Party agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates, (i) not to transmit or disclose any provision of any Loan Document to any Person (other than to such Credit Party’s employees, auditors, advisors, consultants, Affiliates and counsel, (2) in response to any summons, subpoena or civil investigative demand or (3) in connection with any litigation or governmental investigation or as otherwise required by applicable law) without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Each Credit Party agrees to submit to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent reserves the right to review and approve all materials that such Credit Party or any of its Affiliates prepares that contain any Lender Party’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. No Credit Party shall, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, use any Lender Party’s name (or the name of any of their Affiliates) in connection with any of its business operations, including without limitation, advertising, marketing or press releases or such other similar purposes, without such Lender Party’s prior written consent (except as required by applicable law). Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates to contract on behalf of any Lender Party.

(b) Administrative Agent and Lenders each individually (any not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding the Credit Parties, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any Lender Party, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any Lender Party, (iii) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (iv) as may be agreed to in advance by the Credit Parties or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (v) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – Page 70   


Administrative Agent or the Lenders), (vi) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender Party’s interest under this Agreement, and (vii) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby expressly authorizes Administrative Agent to use the respective Credit Party’s name and logo in tombstone advertisements and press releases regarding this transaction, provided that the Borrower has had a chance to review and approve the contents of such tombstone or press release, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 14.15. Acceptance and Performance.  This Agreement shall become effective only upon acceptance by Lenders and by Administrative Agent at its office in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. The Obligations are payable at Administrative Agent’s offices in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.

Section 14.16. Schedules.  All Schedules referenced herein and attached hereto are incorporated in this Agreement and made a part hereof for all purposes.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

Litigation

 

1. Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. v. Razer USA, Ltd., Case No. 13-cv-02371-GPC-JLB.

In October 2013, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement styled Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. v. Razer USA, Ltd., Case No. 13-cv-02371-GPC-JLB, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges that Mad Catz holds an exclusive license, within the United States of America, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, gift or otherwise dispose of the any product falling within the scope of one or more claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,157,370 (the “‘370 Patent”), including all right, power and interest to enforce the ‘370 Patent against any and all third parties and the exclusive standing to bring suit against any third party infringing the ‘370 Patent. The complaint further alleges that Razer USA, Ltd. (“Razer”) has infringed and continues to infringe the ‘370 Patent by making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing in the United States certain products covered by one of more claims of the ‘370 Patent, including Razer’s “Ouroboros” computer mouse. In January 2014, Razer filed a counterclaim against the Company for alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,605,063 (the “‘063 Patent.”)

By its counterclaim of patent infringement, Razer alleges that it has an exclusive license, within the United States of America, to manufacture, use, import, market, offer to sell, sell or have sold, or otherwise dispose of any products falling within the scope of one or more claims of the ’063 Patent, including the sole and exclusive right to institute, control and prosecute any and all suits to enjoin any and all infringers of the ’063 patent. Razer further alleges that the Company has infringed and continues to infringe the ‘063 Patent by making, using, selling, and/or offering for sale its C.Y.B.O.R.G. V.7 Gaming Keyboard. Razer further contends that the ‘370 Patent is invalid and unenforceable, and denies infringement. Mad Catz also contends that the ‘063 Patent is invalid and unenforceable, and denies infringement. No trial date has been set in the matter.

The Claim Construction Hearing for the ‘370 Patent and the ‘063 Patent took place on August 22, 2014 and the parties are awaiting the Court’s order in that respect. The parties are currently involved in conducting discovery. The Company believes that its allegations made against Razer are meritorious and intends to vigorously prosecute all claims it has asserted.

The Company also believes that the allegations made by Razer lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. It is impossible at this time to assess whether the outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company. We have not recorded any accrual for a contingent liability associated with this legal proceeding based on our belief that a liability, while possible, is not probable and any range of potential future charge cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

2. Better Mouse Company, LLC v. Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., et al., Consolidated Civil Action No. 2:14-CV-198

In March 2014, the Better Mouse Company, LLC filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiary, Mad Catz, Inc., for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint is styled Better Mouse Company, LLC v. Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 2:14-CV-204 and has been consolidated with Better Mouse Company, LLC v. Steelseries Aps et al, Lead Civil Action No. 2:14-CV-198 for all purposes except for trial and venue. By its complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the Company and its subsidiary (and several other companies from the consolidated lead action) have infringed and continue to infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,532,200 (the “‘200 Patent”) by making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing in the United States certain products (computer mice) covered by one of more claims of the ‘200 Patent. The complaint was formally served on the Company in May 2014. The Company answered the complaint on July 17, 2014 and has

 

SCHEDULE 7.7   


denied all substantive allegations of infringement and damage. Trial has been set for December 14, 2015, although the Company expects that the trial date may be continued for four to six weeks as a result of various known scheduling issues among the parties and the Court. The parties have begun to engage in limited discovery and a hearing on the parties respective positions as to construction of the claims of the ‘200 Patent is set to take place on July 16, 2015.

The Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. It is impossible at this time to assess whether the outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company. We have not recorded any accrual for a contingent liability associated with this legal proceeding based on our belief that a liability, while possible, is not probable and any range of potential future charge cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

3. In the Matter of Certain Graphics Processing Chips, Systems on a Chip, and Products Containing the Same, Investigation No. 377-TA-941

In November 2014, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”) filed a complaint against the Company (and numerous third parties, including Nvidia Corporation) for patent infringement in the United States International Trade Commission. The complaint is styled In the Matter of Certain Graphics Processing Chips, Systems on a Chip, and Products Containing the Same, Investigation No. 377-TA-941 and it alleges that the defendants have infringed and continue to infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 6,147,385, 6,173,349, 7,056,776, 7,804,734 by offering for sale, selling, and/or importing in the United States certain graphics processing units, systems on a chip, and products containing the same that, allegedly, are covered by one of more claims of the above-cited patents. Specifically, as to the Company, Samsung alleges that the Company’s M.O.J.O. micro-console for Android, which utilizes the Nvidia Tegra 4 T40S systems on a chip, directly infringes one of more claims of the patents at issue.

On December 30, 2014, the United States International Trade Commission instituted an investigation into the matter to determine whether there is a violation of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, by reason of the alleged infringement of the above-cited patents. That initial determination shall be due on December 22, 2015 and the target date for completion of the Commission’s investigation is April 22, 2016. The Company has entered into an indemnity agreement with NVIDIA, whereby NVIDIA has agreed to defend and indemnify the Company in this matter.

 

4.

Letter from DSS Technology Management, Inc.

Mad Catz received a letter dated June 12, 2014, from DSS Technology Management, Inc. (“DSS”) claiming that Mad Catz may manufacture products (at this point only the M.O.J.O. has been identified) that infringe DSS’ United States Patent Nos. 6,128,290 and 5,699,357. Mad Catz believes that DSS’ patents are invalid and unenforceable due to prior art. Mad Catz also believes that its products do not infringe on any of the valid claims of the patents, if any. No demand for payment was made in the letter and it is my opinion that DSS is seeking a licensing deal. To the extent that Mad Catz determines that the patents are not invalid or unenforceable due to prior art or for other reasons, Mad Catz will either change its products’ design so that they do not infringe or seek to enter into a license agreement with DSS.

I, Darren Richardson, certify that:

 

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc.;

 

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

 

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

 

4. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a—15(f) and 15d—15(f)) for the registrant and have:

 

  a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

 

  b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

 

  c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

5. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

 

  a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
