EXHIBITS Exhibit A - Description of Collateral Exhibit B - Payment/Advance Request Form Exhibit C - Form of Compliance Certificate ii LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of the Effective Date, between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank ("Bank") whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, and CRITICAL PATH, INC., a California corporation ("Borrower") whose address is 350 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, California 94105, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will borrow from Bank. The parties agree as follows: 1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS. Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed in accordance with GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made in accordance with GAAP. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without limitation," in this or any other Loan Document. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 2.1 PROMISE TO PAY. Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions. 2.1.1 REVOLVING ADVANCES. (a) Bank will make Revolving Advances not exceeding at any time the Committed Revolving Line, minus the sum of (i) all amounts then outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (ii) the then-outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Advances, (iii) the Foreign Exchange Sublimit and (D) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit). Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1.1 may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement. (b) To obtain a Revolving Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m., Pacific Time, one Business Day prior to the day on which the Revolving Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank a completed Loan Payment/Advance Request Form in the form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Revolving Advances to Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Revolving Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee, or without instructions if the Revolving Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephonic notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance. (c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Revolving Advances, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are immediately due and payable. (d) Bank's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Revolving Line or any other credit available hereunder to Borrower will terminate if, in Bank's sole discretion, there has been a Material Adverse Change or there has occurred any material adverse deviation from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement. 2.1.2 CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES SUBLIMIT. Borrower may use up to the entire amount from time to time available under Section 2.1.1(a) (the "Cash Management Services Sublimit") for Bank's cash management services, which may include 1 merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management Services"). All amounts at any one time outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower, and any amounts that are not paid by Borrower, for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Revolving Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Revolving Advances. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Cash Management Services as Bank may request. 2.1.3 FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUBLIMIT. To the extent that the Foreign Exchange Sublimit (as calculated herein) is not exceeded, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one Business Day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contract"). The Foreign Exchange Sublimit (the "Foreign Exchange Sublimit") shall be an amount equal to 10% of the face amount of all outstanding FX Forward Contracts; provided, however, that at no time may the Foreign Exchange Sublimit ever exceed the Committed Revolving Line (as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.1.1(a) hereof). The aggregate amount of the Foreign Exchange Sublimit shall at all times reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs. 2.1.4 LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT. Bank will issue Letters of Credit for Borrower's account in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the Committed Revolving Line, in each case minus the sum of (i) the then-outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances, plus (ii) all amounts then-outstanding under the Cash Management Sublimit plus (iii) the Foreign Exchange Sublimit; provided, however, that the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may at no time exceed the Committed Revolving Line. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of not later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. 2.2 OVERADVANCES. If the sum of Borrower's Obligations under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 at any time exceeds the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower will be in an Overadvance to the extent of such excess amount. If Borrower is in an Overadvance, then Borrower shall immediately take each of the following actions (unless otherwise agreed to by Bank): (i) Borrower shall repay to Bank the amount by which all outstanding principal and accrued interest relating to Revolving Advances exceeds the Committed Revolving Line; and (ii) Borrower shall secure its Obligations with respect to the aggregate sum of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Foreign Exchange Sublimit and Cash Management Services then being utilized with cash to be held in a certificate of deposit account with Bank in the amount that such an aggregate sum exceeds the Committed Revolving Line, such cash to be held by Bank as Collateral until such time as the Overadvance is repaid and Borrower's Obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit, the Foreign Exchange Sublimit and the Cash Management Services are satisfied. 2.3 INTEREST RATE, PAYMENTS. (a) Revolving Advances shall accrue interest on the aggregate principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus forty five basis points (0.45%). 2 After an Event of Default, Obligations shall accrue interest at a rate equal to five percent (5.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. (b) Interest on outstanding Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Bank will debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts, including Account Number 3300229151, for principal and interest payments, and any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon, Pacific Time, are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due on the next Business Day and additional fees and interest shall accrue to such date. 2.4 FEES AND EXPENSE. 2.4.1 FACILITY FEE. Borrower will pay Bank a fully-earned, non-refundable facility fee in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), due and payable on the Effective Date. 2.4.2 CANCELLATION FEE In the event that Borrower elects to cancel the credit facility available to it under this Agreement within six (6) months after the Effective Date, Borrower shall pay bank a cancellation fee in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), due and payable on the date as of which Borrower cancels the credit facility. 2.4.3 UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE Borrower will pay Bank an Unused Commitment Fee equal to forty five basis points (0.45%) per annum (annualized) of the average unused portion of the Committed Revolving Line. Such Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in quarterly installments, on the first day of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the average unused portion of the Committed Revolving Line during such fiscal quarter multiplied by (ii) eleven and one-quarter basis points (0.1125%). 2.4.4 LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrower will pay the Letter of Credit Fee at the time of the issuance or renewal of each Letter of Credit, and on each anniversary thereof. 2.4.5 BANK EXPENSES. Borrower will pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement. All Bank Expenses are due and payable upon demand from Bank. 3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS. 3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION. Bank's obligation to make the first Credit Extension is, in addition to the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (a) Bank shall have received the agreements, documents and fees that it requires in accordance 3 with this Agreement.

Each Credit Extension is Borrower's representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true. 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and the performance of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, Bank's security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower is a California corporation. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents or constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 5.2 COLLATERAL. Borrower has good title to its Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. The Accounts are 4 bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property that is the subject of each Account has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has no notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower owns or possesses adequate rights to use all of its respective Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its respective customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable, no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part), and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 5.3 LITIGATION. Except as described in Borrower's filings with the SEC, there are no material actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 5.4 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All separate or consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects such entity's separate and consolidated financial condition and separate and consolidated results of operations. There has not been any Material Adverse Change in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank. 5.5 SOLVENCY. The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities. Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. 5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act.

Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules applicable to Borrower, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating or transporting any hazardous substance other than in a legal manner in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 5 5.7 INVESTMENTS. Borrower owns no stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 5.8 FULL DISCLOSURE. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results. 5.9 SUBORDINATED DEBT. All existing Indebtedness of Borrower to entities other than Bank, including but not limited to the Indebtedness of Borrower pursuant to those certain 5-3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2005 that were issued by Borrower on or about April 1, 2000, is subordinated to the Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank hereunder. 6.

Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts as Bank may reasonably request and as is ordinary and customary for Borrower's size and industry. Insurance policies will be in forms, with companies, and in amounts that are reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

Borrower will not engage in, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in, any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or businesses reasonably related thereto.

A Subsidiary may liquidate, unwind, merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Borrower, so long as Borrower remains the obligor of all Obligations. 7.4 INDEBTEDNESS.

Borrower will not directly or indirectly acquire or own any Person, or make any Investment in any Person (other than Permitted Investments) or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, or pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment related to, or redeem, retire or purchase any of, its capital stock. 7.7 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Borrower will not directly or indirectly enter into or permit any material transaction with any 9 Affiliate, except transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, on terms less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm's length transaction with a non-affiliated Person, provided that Borrower may appropriately compensate its executive officers in such manner as is determined by Borrower's board of directors. 7.8 SUBORDINATED DEBT. Borrower will not make or permit any payment on any Subordinated Debt except under the express terms of the Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt, without Bank's prior written consent. 7.9 COMPLIANCE.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 8.1 PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within three days after their due date. During the three day period, the failure to cure the default is not itself an Event of Default (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension during the three day period). 8.2 COVENANT DEFAULT. (a) Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Article 6, or violates any of the covenants in Article 7 of this Agreement, or (b) Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep or observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, in any other Loan Documents or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and, as to any default under such other term, provision, condition, agreement or covenant that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten-day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time thereafter, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable time period (which shall not in any case exceed ten additional days) to cure such default. During the ten-day period and (if applicable) the additional ten-day period, the failure to cure the default is not itself an Event of Default (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension during such periods). 8.3 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. There occurs (i) a material adverse change in the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (ii) a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) a material impairment to the value or priority of Bank's security interest in the Collateral (or any material portion thereof). 10 8.4 ATTACHMENT. Any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached, seized or levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver, and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed, or the possession by a trustee or receiver is not terminated, in ten days; or Borrower is enjoined, restrained or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its respective businesses; or a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material portion of Borrower's assets; or a notice of lien, levy or assessment is filed against any of Borrower's assets by any government agency and not paid within ten days after Borrower receives notice thereof. None of the foregoing is an Event of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension during such stay period or pending contest). 8.5 INSOLVENCY. Borrower becomes insolvent or begins an Insolvency Proceeding, or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within 30 days (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed). 8.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS. There is a material default in any agreement between Borrower and a third party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding $250,000 or that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 8.7 JUDGMENTS. A money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $500,000 is rendered against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for ten days (but Bank shall have no obligation to make a Credit Extension before the judgment is stayed or satisfied) and is not otherwise covered by indemnification of, or insurance coverages with respect to, the Borrower. 8.8 MISREPRESENTATIONS. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower, makes any material misrepresentation or material misstatement, in light of the circumstances in which it was made, now or later in any warranty or representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or in order to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document. 9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. When an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and any period for cure as set forth in Section 8 hereof has expired, Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following: (a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); (b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable; 11 (d) Make any payments and do any acts that Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral and in furtherance thereof: (i) Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates; (ii) Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred; and (iii) Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies; (e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower that Bank holds, and (ii) amounts held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral, and in furtherance thereof: (i) Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral; and (ii) Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit in connection with the foregoing; and (g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code. 9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower irrevocably appoints and constitutes Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and in the name of Borrower, to do all of the following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default: (i) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, are coupled with an interest and irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates. 9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit. 9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies that Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then-applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or constitute Bank's waiver of any Event of Default. 9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. 12 If Bank complies with the Code, it shall not be liable for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (ii) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (iii) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law and in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank, and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. 9.7 DEMAND WAIVER. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties held by Bank on which Borrower is liable. 10.

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by certified mail, (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice thereof. 11. CHOICE OF LAW , VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California. BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 12. GENERAL PROVISIONS 12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Bank's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Bank's discretion. Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank's obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement. 12.2 INDEMNIFICATION.

Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations in this Agreement. 12.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISION. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision. 12.5 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING, INTEGRATION. All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by Borrower and Bank. This Agreement represents the entire agreement about this subject matter, and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement merge into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 12.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all of which, taken together, constitute one Agreement. 12.7 SURVIVAL. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run. 12.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made by Bank: (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Obligations or the Loan Documents; (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena or other order; (iv) as required in connection with Bank's examination or audit; and (v) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in Bank's possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. 12.9 ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES.
