Schedule to
Loan and Security Agreement
Borrower: Advanced Photonix, Inc.
Address: 1240 Avenida Acaso
Camarillo, California 93012
Dated: July 16, 1998
THIS SCHEDULE is an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement
between Silicon Valley Bank ("Silicon") and the above-named borrower
("Borrower") of even date.
Credit Limit
(Section 1.1): An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) $1,000,000 at any
one time outstanding; or (ii) 75% * of the Net Amount of Borrower's
accounts, which Silicon in its discretion deems eligible for
borrowing. "Net Amount" of an account means the gross amount of the
account, minus all applicable sales, use, excise and other similar
taxes and minus all discounts, credits and allowances of any nature
granted or claimed.
* (provided that on and after a Borrowing Audit (as defined in Section
4.5 of the Loan Agreement), this percentage may be modified in the
reasonable discretion of Silicon based on the results of any such
audit)
Without limiting the fact that the determination of which accounts are
eligible for borrowing is a matter of Silicon's discretion, the
following will not be deemed eligible for borrowing: accounts
outstanding for more than 90 days from the invoice date, accounts
subject to any contingencies, accounts owing from the United States or
any department, agency or instrumentality of the United States or any
state, city or municipality, accounts owing from an account debtor
outside the United States (unless pre- approved by Silicon in its
discretion, or backed by a letter of credit satisfactory to Silicon,
or FCIA insured satisfactory to Silicon), accounts owing from one
account debtor to the extent they exceed 25% of the total eligible
accounts outstanding, accounts owing from an affiliate of Borrower,
and accounts owing from an account debtor to whom Borrower is or may
be liable for goods purchased from such account debtor or otherwise.
In addition, if more than 50% of the accounts owing from an account
debtor are outstanding more than 90 days from the invoice date or are
otherwise not eligible accounts, then all accounts owing from that
account debtor will be deemed ineligible for borrowing.
Letter of Credit Sublimit
Silicon, in its reasonable discretion, will from time to time during
the term of this Agreement issue letters of credit for the account of
the Borrower ("Letters of Credit"), in an aggregate amount at any one
time outstanding not to exceed $100,000, upon the request of the
Borrower, provided that, on the date the Letters of Credit are to be
issued, Borrower has available to it Loans in an amount equal to or
greater than the face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued.
1
Prior to the issuance of any Letters of Credit, Borrower shall execute
and deliver to Silicon Applications for Letters of Credit and such
other documentation as Silicon shall specify (the "Letter of Credit
Documentation"). Fees for the Letters of Credit shall be as provided
in the Letter of Credit Documentation. Letters of Credit may have a
maturity date up to twelve months beyond the Maturity Date in effect
from time to time, provided that if on the Maturity Date, or on any
earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding
letters of credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution
based upon an application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement
on the part of Silicon, then on such date Borrower shall provide to
Silicon cash collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of all
such letters of credit plus all interest, fees and costs due or to
become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the Obligations
relating to said letters of credit, pursuant to Silicon's then
standard form cash pledge agreement.
The Credit Limit set forth above and the Loans available under this
Agreement at any time shall be reduced by the face amount of Letters
of Credit from time to time outstanding.
Interest Rate (Section 1.2):
A rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in effect from time to time, plus
0.50% per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. "Prime Rate" means
the rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its "prime rate;"
it 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.
