sole discretion, reserve against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder such sums as Silicon shall determine in its good faith business judgment in connection with the Cash Management Services, and Silicon may charge to Borrower’s Loan account, any amounts that may become due or owing to Silicon in connection with the Cash Management Services. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Silicon all standard form applications and agreements of Silicon in connection with the Cash Management Services, and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Silicon in connection with the Cash Management Services. The Cash Management Services shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exim Agreement;
Cross-Collateralization;
Cross-Default:

Silicon and the Borrower are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement (Exim Program) of even date (the “Exim Agreement”). Both this Agreement and the Exim Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and all rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Exim Agreement are cumulative. The term “Obligations” as used in this Agreement and in the Exim Agreement shall include without limitation the obligation to pay when due all Loans made pursuant to this Agreement (the “Non-Exim Loans”) and all interest thereon and the obligation to pay when due all Loans made pursuant to the Exim Agreement (the “Exim Loans”) and all interest thereon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all “Collateral” as defined in this Agreement and as defined in the Exim Agreement shall secure all Exim Loans and all Non-Exim Loans and all interest thereon, and all other Obligations. Any Event of Default under this Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under the Exim Agreement, and any Event of Default under the Exim Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. In the event Silicon assigns its rights under the Exim Agreement and/or under any Note evidencing Exim Loans and/or its rights under this Agreement and/or under any Note evidencing Non-Exim Loans, to any third party, including without limitation the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Exim Bank”), whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Silicon shall have the right (but not any obligation), in its sole discretion, to allocate and apportion Collateral to the Agreement and/or Note assigned and to specify the priorities of the respective security interests in such Collateral between itself and the assignee, all without notice to or consent of the Borrower.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. As used in this Agreement, “Prime Rate” means the interest rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its “prime rate” (which is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the best rate available at Silicon). The interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate.
