1. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Intevac, Inc. ("Intevac" or the "Company") is a leading supplier of static sputtering systems and related manufacturing equipment used to manufacture thin-film disks for computer hard disk drives. The Company's principal product, the MDP-250B system enables disk manufacturers to achieve high coercivities, high signal-to-noise ratios, minimal disk defects, durability and uniformity, all of which are necessary in the production of high performance, high capacity disks. The Company sells its static sputtering systems to both captive and merchant thin-film disk manufacturers. The Company sells and markets its products directly in the United States, and through exclusive distributors in Japan, Taiwan and Korea. The Company supports its customers in Southeast Asia through its wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore.
The financial information at September 28, 1996 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
The results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996 are not considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the entire year.

4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options (using the treasury stock method). Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins, common stock and common equivalent shares issued by the Company at prices below the assumed initial public offering (IPO) price during the twelve-month period preceding the date of the initial filing of the registration statement have been included in the calculation of common equivalent shares, using the treasury stock method based on an assumed IPO price, as if they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to the IPO date.
6. PUBLIC OFFERING
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company filed a registration statement for a public offering of the Company's common stock. On August 13, 1996 the registration statement was withdrawn. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company wrote off $282,000 of expenses related to the offering.
7. LINE OF CREDIT
In September 1996, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with two banks which provides for a total of $20.0 million in available borrowings based on eligible receivables and inventory. This agreement replaces the Company's prior line of credit. The agreement is for a revolving line of credit, which is available until May 1, 1997, when the outstanding principal will be payable. The line of credit bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the prime rate, or the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus two and one-half percent per annum for receivable advances and at the prime rate plus one percent, or the LIBOR plus three and one-half percent per annum for inventory advances. Interest on outstanding Prime Rate Advances is due monthly and interest on LIBOR Advances is due at the end of the Interest Period as elected by the borrower. The Interest Period can be one, three or six months. In the event of default, interest on the outstanding loan increases to 5.00% above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the default. At September 28, 1996, $3.5 million of borrowings was outstanding under the agreement.
8. ACQUISITIONS
On May 3, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the outstanding stock of San Jose Technology Corp. ("SJT"), a supplier of thin-film disk lubrication systems. The total purchase price was $3,715,000. On June 6, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the outstanding stock of Lotus Technologies, Inc. ("LTI"), a supplier of contact stop/start equipment for computer hard disk drives and components. The total purchase price was $8,335,000.

ITEM 2--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that are accompanied by cautionary statements that identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statement as a result of certain of the risk factors set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed in March 1996, Form 10-Q's and Form 8-K's.
OVERVIEW
Intevac is a leading supplier of static sputtering systems and related manufacturing equipment used to manufacture thin film-disks for computer hard disk drives. Sputtering is a complex vacuum deposition process used to deposit multiple thin-film layers on a disk. The Company has three primary sources of net revenues: sales of disk sputtering systems and related disk manufacturing equipment; sales of system components; and contract research and development activities. Disk sputtering systems and related disk manufacturing equipment generally represent the majority of the Company's revenue, and are sold to vertically integrated disk drive manufacturers and to original equipment manufacturers that sell disk media to disk drive manufacturers. Intevac's systems component business consists primarily of sales of spare parts and after-sale service to purchasers of the Company's disk sputtering systems, as well as sales of components to other manufacturers of vacuum equipment. Contract research and development revenues have been primarily derived from contracts with ARPA for development projects for the flat panel display ("FPD") industry. Revenues from the sale of FPD products have not been material.
Through the first quarter of 1995, the Company also received revenues from the sales of molecular beam epitaxi ("MBE") systems. The Company acquired the MBE business from Varian in February 1991 and sold the business to a third party in October 1993. MBE revenues in the first quarter of 1995 were derived from the sales of used MBE equipment that had not been sold with the business. The Company does not expect any MBE revenues in the future.
Income from discontinued operations represents results from the sales of night vision products, primarily of night vision goggles and devices and the sale of the night vision business to Litton Systems, Inc. in May 1995.
In the first quarter of 1996, Intevac acquired Cathode Technology Corporation ("CTC"), a developer of advanced sputter source technology for the production of disks used in computer hard disk drives, for $1.1 million in cash and $2.0 million in notes.
On May 3, 1996, Intevac acquired San Jose Technology Corp. ("SJT"), a supplier of thin-film disk lubrication systems, for $3.7 million in cash.
On June 6, 1996, Intevac acquired Lotus Technologies, Inc. ("LTI"), a supplier of contact stop/start test equipment for computer hard disk drives and components, for $8.3 million.
The Company's backlog was $66.1 million and $55.3 million at September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net revenues. Disk, flat panel and other net revenues consist primarily of sales of the Company's disk sputtering systems and related equipment used to manufacture thin-film disks for computer hard disk drives, and to a lesser extent, system components and contract research and development. Net revenues from the sales of sputtering systems are recognized upon customer acceptance. Sales of related equipment and system components
are recognized upon product shipment, and contract research and development is recognized in accordance with contract terms, typically as costs are incurred. MBE net revenues consist primarily of system sales. Net revenues increased by 104% to $24.6 million for the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $12.1 million the three months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase in the sales of disk sputtering systems and to a lesser extent, sales of products acquired in the acquisitions of SJT and LTI and increased sales of system components.
International revenues increased by 97% to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in revenues from international sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of disk sputtering systems. International sales constituted 30% of net revenues for the three months ended September 28, 1996 and 32% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Gross margin. Cost of net revenues consists primarily of purchased materials, fabrication, assembly, test, installation, international distributor costs, warranty costs, scrap and costs attributable to contract research and development. Gross margin from disk, flat panel and other sales was 34.8% for the three months ended September 28, 1996 as compared to 36.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The reduction in gross margins was primarily due the sale of two used systems at discounted prices and the write-down of inventory related to the Company's 5 1/4" product, the MDP-250C disk sputtering system. The MDP-250C inventory was written down as a result of the uncertain market for 5 1/4" disk drives which caused the Company to put production of this product on hold.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of prototype materials, salaries and related costs of employees engaged in ongoing research, design and development activities for disk sputtering equipment, flat panel manufacturing equipment, and research by the Company's Advanced Technology Division. Company funded research and development expense increased to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, representing 9.8% and 6.2%, respectively, of net revenue. The increase was primarily the result of increased development expense in disk manufacturing products and, to a lesser extent, increased development expense in laser texturing products.
Research and development expense does not include costs of $0.6 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively, reimbursed to the Company under the terms of a research and development cost sharing agreement with the Company's Japanese flat panel manufacturing equipment ("D-Star") development partner. In addition, research and development expense does not include expenditures in connection with contract research and development activities since these are charged to cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of selling, marketing, financial, travel, management, legal and professional services. Domestic sales are made by the Company's direct sales force whereas international sales are made by distributors that typically provide sales, installation, warranty and ongoing customer support. International distributor costs are included in cost of net revenues. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 102% to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 representing 9.1% and 9.2%, respectively, of net revenue. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily the result of increased expense associated with the marketing and support of disk sputtering systems, and to a lesser extent, the result of the write-off of $282,000 of offering expenses related to the withdrawal of the Company's secondary stock offering on August 19, 1996 and increased public company costs subsequent to the Company's initial public offering in November 1995. Selling, general and administrative headcount grew to 71 employees at September 28, 1996 from 41 employees at September 30, 1995.
Other income, net. Other income primarily consists of income related to the sale of the Company's 20% interest in the capital stock of Chorus, interest income on the Company's short term investments net of any interest expense, and early payment discounts on the purchase of inventories, goods and services. Other income increased by 181% to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in other income was primarily the result of income related to the sale of the Company's 20% interest in the capital stock of Chorus, a manufacturer of molecular beam epitaxi products.
Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income for the three months ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, was 37% and 36%, respectively. The increase in the tax rate was the result of non-tax deductible goodwill amortization related to the acquisitions of SJT and LTI. The Company's tax rate for these periods differs from the applicable statutory rates primarily due to the benefit received from the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation and state income taxes.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net revenues. Net revenues increased by 110% to $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase in the sales of disk sputtering systems and to a lesser extent as the result of the sale of new products acquired in the acquisitions of SJT and LTI.
There were no net revenues from the sale of MBE systems for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 as compared to net revenues of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Company wound down the MBE business following the exchange of substantially all of the assets related to this business with a third party for stock in late 1993. MBE revenues in the first quarter of 1995 were derived from the sales of used MBE equipment that had not been sold with the business.
International revenues increased by 172% to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in revenues from international sales was primarily due to an increase in the sales of disk sputtering systems. International revenues constituted 35% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 and 27% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Gross margin. Gross margin from disk, flat panel and other sales was 37.5% for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 as compared to 35.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The improvement in gross margins was primarily due to increased manufacturing efficiencies resulting from higher production volume. The Company believes that gross margins experienced in the first nine months of 1996 were higher than should generally be expected and are not indicative of margins in future periods.
Research and development. Company funded research and development expense increased to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing 9.7% and 5.8%, respectively, of net revenue. The increase was primarily the result of increased development expense in disk manufacturing products and, to a lesser extent, increased development expense in flat panel display manufacturing products and laser texturing products.
Research and development expense does not include costs of $1.3 million and $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively, reimbursed to the Company under the terms of a research and development cost sharing agreement with the Company's Japanese D-Star development partner. On February 14, 1996, this research and development cost sharing agreement was amended to increase the development partner's total funding commitment from $4.3 million to $5.5 million. Under the terms of the research and development cost sharing agreement, Intevac and its development partner each pay half of all D-Star development costs. At September 28, 1996, all of the $5.5 million development funding committed by the Company's development partner had been spent on the D-Star development project. There can be no assurance that the Company's development partner will provide any further funding. In addition, research and development expenses do not include expenditures in connection with contract research and development activities since these are charged to cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 96% to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 representing 10.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of net revenue. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily the result of increased expense associated with the marketing and support of disk sputtering systems. To a lesser extent, selling general and administrative costs rose as a result of the acquisition of SJT on May 3, 1996 and LTI on June 6, 1996 and increased public company costs subsequent to the Company's initial public offering in November 1995. Selling, general and administrative headcount grew to 71 employees at September 28, 1996 from 41 employees at September 30, 1995.
Acquired In-Process Research and development. The increase of $5.8 million was the result of a write-off of acquired in-process research and development related to the acquisitions of SJT and LTI.
Other income, net. Other income primarily consists of income related to the sale of the Company's 20% interest in the capital stock of Chorus, interest income on the Company's short term investments net of any interest expense, and early payment discounts on the purchase of inventories, goods and services. Other income increased by 41% to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, primarily as the result income related to the sale of the Company's 20% interest in the capital stock of Chorus .
Discontinued operations. In March 1995, the Company adopted a formal plan to discontinue its night vision business. The Company sold its night vision business to Litton Systems, Inc. in May of 1995. Accordingly, the results of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 reflect the night vision business as a discontinued operation. Net revenues included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $4.2 million. Included in income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is a net gain after taxes of approximately $1.4 million, net of a reserve of approximately $2.6 million to provide for estimated closing, environmental remediation and warranty costs from the sale of the night vision business. As of September 28, 1996, the Company had completed closure of the night vision business' Palo Alto facility and $0.8 million remained in the Company's closure reserve to provide for any additional expenses which may be incurred.
Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, was 37% (after excluding the $5.8 million of non-tax deductible acquisition related in-process research and development expense) and 36%, respectively. The increase in the tax rate was the result of non-tax deductible goodwill amortization related to the acquisitions of SJT and LTI. The Company's tax rate for these periods differs from the applicable statutory rates primarily due to the benefit received from the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation and state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's operating activities used cash of $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996. The cash used in operations was driven primarily by increases in inventory and receivables of $14.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. This was partially offset by a $5.8 million non-cash acquisition related write-off of acquired in-process research and development, $1.9 million of depreciation and amortization and $1.5 million of net income.
The Company's investing activities used cash of $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 due to $11.5 million for the acquisitions of LTI, SJT and CTC and the purchase of $3.0 million of fixed assets. This was partially offset by proceeds of $0.2 million from the sale of the Chorus capital stock.
The Company's financing activities provided cash of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 1996, due to $3.5 million of net borrowings under the Company's line of credit and $0.4 million received from sales of stock under the Company's employee stock purchase and stock option programs.
CERTAIN FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
FLUCTUATIONS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's operating results have historically been subject to significant quarterly and annual fluctuations. The Company derives most of its net revenues from the sale of a small number of sputtering systems. The number of systems accepted by customers in any particular quarter has varied from zero to seven and, as a result, the Company's net revenues and operating results for a particular period could be materially adversely affected if an anticipated order for even one system is not received in time to permit shipment and customer acceptance during that accounting period. The Company's backlog at the beginning of a quarter may not include all system orders needed to
achieve the Company's revenue objectives for that quarter. Orders in backlog are subject to cancellation, and although the Company generally requires a deposit on orders for its systems, such deposits may not be sufficient to cover the expenses incurred by the Company for the manufacture of the canceled systems or fixed operating expenses associated with such systems to the date of cancellation. From time to time, in order to meet anticipated customer demand, the Company has manufactured disk sputtering systems in advance of the receipt of orders for such systems. The Company expects to continue this practice in the future. In the event that anticipated orders are not received as expected, then the Company could be materially adversely affected as the result of higher inventory levels and increased exposure to surplus and obsolete inventory write-offs. Orders may be subject to delay, deferral or rescheduling by a customer. From the date the Company receives an order, it often takes more than six months before the net revenues from such order are recognized and even longer before final payment is received. The relatively long manufacturing cycles of many of the Company's products have caused and could cause shipments of such products to be delayed from one quarter to the next, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations for a particular quarter. Announcements by the Company or its competitors of new products and technologies could cause customers to defer purchases of the Company's existing systems, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Installing and integrating new sputtering systems into the thin-film disk manufacturing process requires a substantial investment by a customer. Therefore, customers often require a significant number of product presentations and demonstrations, as well as substantial interaction with the Company's senior management, before making a purchasing decision. Accordingly, the Company's systems typically have a lengthy sales cycle during which the Company may expend substantial funds and management time and effort with no assurance that a sale will result. Furthermore, the Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to future net revenues. If revenue levels are below expectations, operating results are likely to be adversely affected. Net income, if any, may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in net revenues because a proportionately smaller amount of the Company's expenses varies with its net revenues. The impact of these and other factors on the Company's revenues and operating results in any future period cannot be forecasted with certainty. Due to all of the foregoing factors, the Company expects its quarterly operating results to fluctuate significantly and may in certain quarters be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event it is likely the price of the Company's Common Stock would be materially adversely affected.
The Company believes that its operating results will continue to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis due to a variety of factors. These factors include the cyclicality of the thin-film disk manufacturing and disk drive industries, patterns of capital spending by customers, the timing of significant orders, order cancellations and shipment reschedulings, market acceptance of the Company's products, unanticipated delays in design, engineering or production or in customer acceptance of product shipments, changes in pricing by the Company or its competitors, the timing of product announcements or introductions by the Company or its competitors, discounts offered by the Company to sell demonstration units, the mix of systems sold, the relative proportions of sputtering systems, system components and subassemblies, and contract research and development net revenues, the availability and cost of components and subassemblies, changes in product development costs, expenses associated with any acquisitions and exchange rate fluctuations. Over the last ten quarters the Company's gross margin and operating income (loss) as a percentage of net revenues has fluctuated from approximately 27% to 41% of net revenues and (32)% to 27% of net revenues, respectively. The Company anticipates that its gross and operating margins will continue to fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
CYCLICALITY OF THE MEDIA MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
The Company's business depends upon capital expenditures by manufacturers of thin-film disks, including manufacturers that are opening new fabrication facilities, expanding or upgrading existing facilities or replacing obsolete equipment, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand for hard disk drives. The disk drive industry is cyclical and historically has experienced periods of oversupply. Within the past year, many media manufacturers have undertaken programs to increase capacity. In addition, Hyundai has announced plans to commence media manufacturing. This industry-wide increase in capacity may lead to a period of oversupply of thin-film disks, resulting in significantly reduced demand for thin-film disk production and for the capital equipment used in such production, including the systems manufactured and marketed by the Company. In recent years, particularly in very recent periods, the disk drive industry has experienced significant growth, which, in turn, has caused significant growth in the capital equipment industry supplying manufacturers of thin-film disks. There can be no assurance that such
growth will continue. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of new orders will depend upon demand from thin-film disk manufacturers building or expanding fabrication facilities, and there can be no assurance that such demand will exist. The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by downturns or slowdowns in the disk drive market.
Sales of the Company's systems depend, in significant part, upon the decision of a prospective customer to replace obsolete equipment or to increase manufacturing capacity by upgrading or expanding existing manufacturing facilities or constructing new manufacturing facilities, all of which typically involve a significant capital commitment. In addition, the cyclicality of the disk drive industry, among other factors, may cause prospective customers to postpone decisions regarding major capital expenditures, including purchases of the Company's systems. In the event customers delay the purchase of the Company's systems, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
INTENSE COMPETITION
The Company experiences intense competition worldwide from three principal competitors, Ulvac Japan, Ltd. ("Ulvac"), Leybold A.G. ("Leybold") and Anelva Corporation ("Anelva"), each of which is a large manufacturer of complex vacuum equipment and thin-film disk manufacturing systems and has sold a substantial number of thin-film disk sputtering machines worldwide. Ulvac is a manufacturer of in-line systems, Leybold is a manufacturer of static and in-line sputtering systems and Anelva is a manufacturer of static systems, and each has substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and other resources than the Company. The Company also experiences competition from other manufacturers of in-line sputtering systems used in thin-film disk fabrication facilities as well as the manufacturers of thin-film disks that have developed the capability to manufacture their own sputtering systems. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not develop enhancements to, or future generations of, competitive products that will offer superior price or performance features or that new competitors will not enter the Company's markets and develop such enhanced products. Furthermore, the failure of manufacturers of thin-film disks currently using in-line machines and manufacturers using internally developed sputtering systems to switch to static sputtering systems in the future could adversely affect the Company's ability to increase its sputtering system market share.
In addition, the Company's three principal competitors are based in foreign countries and have cost structures and system prices based on foreign currencies. Accordingly, currency fluctuations could cause the Company's dollar-priced products to be less competitive than its competitors' products priced in other currencies. Currency fluctuations could also increase the Company's cost structure relative to those of its competitors, which could make it more difficult for the Company to maintain its competitiveness.
Given the lengthy sales cycle and the significant investment required to integrate a disk sputtering system into the manufacturing process, the Company believes that once a thin-film disk manufacturer has selected a particular supplier's disk sputtering equipment, the manufacturer generally relies upon that equipment for the specific production line application and frequently will continue to purchase its other disk sputtering equipment from the same supplier. The Company expects to experience difficulty in selling to a particular customer for a significant period of time if that customer selects a competitor's disk sputtering equipment. Accordingly, competition for customers in the disk sputtering equipment industry is particularly intense, and suppliers of disk sputtering equipment may offer pricing concessions and incentives to attract new customers, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Because of these competitive factors, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
Historically, a significant portion of the Company's revenues in any particular period have been attributable to sales to a limited number of customers. The Company's largest customers change from period to period as large thin-film disk fabrication facilities are completed and new projects are initiated. Seagate, HMT Technology, and Matsubo accounted for 40%, 20% and 17%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues in 1995, and Trace Storage Technology, Matsubo, Seagate, Varian Associates and Komag accounted for 25%, 15%, 13%, 12% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues during 1994. Western Digital, Matsubo and Trace Storage Technology accounted for 21%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues during 1993.
The Company expects that sales of its products to relatively few customers will continue to account for a high percentage of its net revenues in the foreseeable future. For example, a portion of the Company's backlog at September 28, 1996 represented orders from Seagate for a new facility Seagate is constructing in Singapore. In the event Seagate, or any other customer with multiple units on order, experiences a delay in the construction of a new facility or defers the completion of its construction, the Company's net revenues and operating results could be materially adversely affected. None of the Company's customers has entered into a long-term agreement requiring it to purchase the Company's products. As purchases related to a particular new or expanded fabrication facility are completed, sales to that customer may decrease sharply or cease altogether. If completed contracts are not replaced on a timely basis by new orders from the same or other customers, the Company's net revenues could be adversely affected. The loss of a significant customer, any reduction in orders from any significant customer or the cancellation of a significant order from a customer, including reductions or cancellations due to customer departures from recent buying patterns, financial difficulties of a customer or market, economic or competitive conditions in the disk drive industry, could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
LIMITED NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES
The Company's business depends upon capital expenditures by manufacturers of thin-film disks, of which there are a limited number worldwide. According to TrendFOCUS, an independent market research firm, as of the end of 1995 there were 187 installed disk sputtering lines (sputtering systems and related equipment such as plating, polishing, texturing, lubrication and test equipment as well as related handling equipment) worldwide and only 14 companies in the world with five or more installed disk sputtering lines. Therefore, winning or losing an order from any particular customer could significantly affect the Company's operating results. In addition, the Company's opportunities to sell its systems are further limited by the fact that many of the manufacturers of thin-film disks have adopted an in-line approach as opposed to the Company's static approach to thin-film disk manufacturing. These manufacturers have invested significant amounts of capital in their in-line systems, and there may be significant resistance to change to a static approach in the future. At times the Company has derived a significant proportion of its net revenues from sales of its systems to manufacturers constructing new thin-film disk fabrication facilities. The construction of new thin-film disk fabrication facilities involves extremely large capital expenditures, resulting in few thin-film disk fabrication facilities being constructed worldwide at any particular time. A substantial investment is also required by disk manufacturers to install and integrate additional thin-film disk manufacturing equipment in connection with upgrading or expanding their existing fabrication facilities. These costs are far in excess of the cost of purchasing the Company's system. The magnitude of such capital expenditures has caused certain thin-film disk manufacturers to forego purchasing significant additional thin-film disk manufacturing equipment. Consequently, only a limited number of opportunities for the Company to sell its systems may exist at any given time.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
The disk drive industry in general, and the thin-film disk manufacturing industry in particular, are characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards. As a result, the Company must continue to enhance its existing systems and to develop and manufacture new systems with improved capabilities. This has required and will continue to require substantial investments by the Company in research and development to advance its technologies. The failure to develop, manufacture and market new systems, or to enhance existing systems, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In the past, the Company has experienced delays from time to time in the introduction of, and certain technical difficulties with, certain of its systems and enhancements. In addition, the Company's competitors can be expected to continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products, any of which could cause a decline in market demand for the Company's systems or a reduction in the Company's margins as a result of intensified price competition.
Changes in the manufacturing processes for thin-film disks could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company anticipates continued changes in the requirements of the disk drive industry and thin-film disk manufacturing technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop, manufacture and sell systems that respond adequately to such changes. In addition, the data storage industry is subject to constantly evolving technological standards. There can be no assurance that future technological innovations will not reduce demand for thin-film disks. The Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any trend toward technology that would replace thin-film disks as a storage medium.
The Company's success in developing and selling new and enhanced systems depends upon a variety of factors, including accurate prediction of future customer requirements, technology advances, cost of ownership, introduction of new products on schedule, cost-effective manufacturing and product performance in the field. The Company's new product decisions and development commitments must anticipate the requirements for the continuously evolving disk drive industry approximately two or more years in advance of sales. Any failure to accurately predict customer requirements and to develop new generations of products to meet those requirements would have a sustained material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. New product transitions could adversely affect sales of existing systems, and product introductions could contribute to quarterly fluctuations in operating results as orders for new products commence and orders for existing products decline. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selecting, developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or enhancements of existing products.
MANAGEMENT OF EXPANDING OPERATIONS
The Company has recently experienced a period of rapid expansion in its operations that has placed, and could continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's management and other resources. The Company's ability to manage its expanding operations effectively will require it to continue to improve its operational, financial, and management information systems, and to train, motivate and manage its employees. If the Company's management is unable to manage its expanding operations effectively, the Company's results of operations could be adversely affected.
The Company's operating results will depend in significant part upon its ability to retain and attract qualified management, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, customer support and sales personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and the Company has difficulties attracting such personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. The failure to attract and retain such personnel could make it difficult to undertake or could significantly delay the Company's research and development efforts and the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities or other activities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
MANUFACTURING RISKS
The Company's systems have a large number of components and are highly complex. The Company may experience delays and technical and manufacturing difficulties in future introductions or volume production of new systems or enhancements. In addition, some of the systems built by the Company must be customized to meet individual customer site or operating requirements. The Company has limited manufacturing capacity and may be unable to complete the development or meet the technical specifications of its new systems or enhancements or to manufacture and ship these systems or enhancements in a timely manner. Such an occurrence would materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations as well as its relationships with customers. In addition, the Company may incur substantial unanticipated costs early in a product's life cycle, such as increased cost of materials due to expediting charges, other purchasing inefficiencies and greater than expected installation and support costs which cannot be passed on to the customer. Any of such events could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to increases in demand, the average time between order and shipment of the Company's systems may increase substantially in the future. The Company's ability to quickly increase its manufacturing capacity in response to short-term increases in demand could be limited given the complexity of the manufacturing process, the lengthy lead times necessary to obtain critical components and the need for highly skilled personnel. The failure of the Company to satisfy any such short-term increases in demand and to keep pace with customer demand would lead to further extensions of delivery times, which could deter customers from placing additional orders, and could adversely affect product quality, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In certain instances, the Company is dependent upon a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers, or has qualified only a single or limited number of suppliers, for certain complex components or sub-assemblies utilized in its products. In addition, the Company makes extensive use of suppliers serving the semiconductor
equipment business and such suppliers may choose to give priority to their semiconductor equipment customers that are much larger than the Company. Any prolonged inability to obtain adequate deliveries could require the Company to pay more for inventory, parts and other supplies, seek alternative sources of supply, delay its ability to ship its products and damage relationships with current and prospective customers. Any such delay or damage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company conducts substantially all of its manufacturing activities at its leased facilities in Santa Clara, California. The Company's Santa Clara facility is located in a seismically active area. A major catastrophe (such as an earthquake or other natural disaster) could result in a prolonged interruption of the Company's business.
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
In 1995, the Company spent approximately $2.5 million on various programs to fund the development of equipment and processes for use in the flat panel display ("FPD") industry, approximately 72% which was paid for by the Company's development partners. In exchange for certain development funding, the Company has granted to one of its development partners the exclusive rights to manufacture and market the Company's FPD sputtering systems in Japan. The Company has limited experience in the development, manufacture, sale and marketing of FPD manufacturing equipment, having sold two Rapid Thermal Processing ("RTP") systems to date and having not yet completed development of its FPD sputtering system. There can be no assurance that the market for FPD manufacturing equipment targeted by the Company will develop as quickly or to the degree the Company currently anticipates, or that the Company's proposed FPD manufacturing equipment will achieve customer acceptance or that the Company will achieve any net revenues from the sale of its proposed FPD manufacturing equipment. There can be no assurance the Company will receive additional customer sponsored research and development funding in the future. The failure to receive additional customer sponsored research and development funds could result in the Company internally funding the development of such FPD manufacturing equipment, and the costs of such research and development may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company in any event will continue to fund research and development in the FPD area.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL SALES AND OPERATIONS
Sales to customers in countries other than the United States accounted for 32%, 40% and 20% of revenues in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company anticipates that international sales will continue to account for a substantial portion of net revenues in the future. In addition, the Company has orders from Seagate, a domestic customer, to deliver and install a significant number of machines in Seagate's manufacturing facility in Singapore. In order to effectively service customers located in Singapore and the surrounding region, the Company has established a sales and service operation in Singapore. Sales and operating activities outside of United States are subject to certain inherent risks, including fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies, tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers, political and economic instability, restrictions on the export or import of technology, potentially limited intellectual property protection, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, although the Company's international sales have been denominated in United States dollars, such sales and expenses may not be denominated in dollars in the future, and currency exchange fluctuations in countries where the Company does business could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company currently has 22 patents issued in the United States, and has pending patent applications in the United States and foreign countries. Of the 22 patents, seven relate to sputtering, 10 relate to RTP, one relates to lubrication systems and four relate to other areas not in Intevac's mainstream business. The Company has the right to utilize certain patents under licensing arrangements with Litton Industries, Varian Associates, Stanford University, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories and Alum Rock Technology. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's patent applications will be allowed or that any of the allowed applications will be issued as patents. There can be no assurance that any patent owned by the Company will not be invalidated, deemed unenforceable, circumvented or challenged, that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company or that any of the Company's pending or future patent applications will be issued with claims of the scope sought by the Company, if
at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not develop similar products, duplicate the Company's products or design around the patents owned by the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that foreign patent rights, intellectual property laws or the Company's agreements will protect the Company's intellectual property rights. Failure to protect the Company's intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
There have also been substantial amounts of litigation in the technology industry regarding intellectual property rights. The Company has from time to time received claims that it is infringing third parties' intellectual property rights. In August 1993, Rockwell International Corporation ("Rockwell") sued the Federal government alleging infringement of certain patent rights with respect to the contracts the Federal government has had with a number of companies, including Intevac. The Federal government has notified Intevac that it may be liable to the Federal government in connection with contracts for certain products from the Company's discontinued night vision business. Although the Company believes it will have no material liability to the Federal government under these contracts, there can be no assurance that the resolution of the claims by Rockwell with the Federal government will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the Company has recently become aware that a third party has sent correspondence to a consortium, of which the Company is a party, in a proposed government sponsored research and development program claiming that the work to be done under this program may infringe patents owned by this third party. The Company and its subcontractors have reviewed the correspondence and patents and believe these claims are without merit; however, there can be no assurance that litigation will not result from such development program. There can be no assurance that other third parties will not in the future claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or future patents, trademarks, or other proprietary rights relating to the Company's disk sputtering systems, flat panel manufacturing equipment or other products. Any present or future claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
In addition, the Company believes that one of its competitors may be infringing the Company's patent rights in connection with products currently being offered by this competitor. Although the Company has not undertaken formal legal proceedings, the Company has informed this competitor that the Company believes its patent rights are being infringed and that the Company may undertake litigation to protect its patent rights if necessary. If undertaken, such litigation could be costly, time-consuming and result in legal claims being made against the Company. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition, and, in addition, there could be no assurance that the Company would ultimately prevail in any such litigation.
ACQUISITIONS
The Company's business strategy includes acquiring technologies or businesses that enable it to expand its current product offerings in the thin-film disk manufacturing market. The Company has completed three acquisitions during 1996 and expects that it may pursue additional acquisitions in the future. Any future acquisition may result in potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, any of which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the Company will not be able to use the "pooling of interests" method of accounting due to a shareholder being greater than a 50% holder of the Company's Common Stock prior to the Company's initial public offering, in connection with any acquisition consummated prior to November 21, 1997 and the Company will therefore be required to amortize any intangible assets acquired in connection with any acquisition consummated during that period.
The Company incurred a charge to operations of $5.8 million in the quarter ended June 29, 1996, to reflect the purchase of in-process research and development pursuant to the two acquisitions completed in the second quarter. In addition, the Company intends to amortize intangible assets of approximately $8.8 million of costs relating to the two acquisitions completed in the second quarter as well as the acquisition completed during the first quarter of 1996. The amortization period for such costs will be over useful lives, which range from two years to seven years. Additional, unanticipated expenses may be incurred relating to the integration of technologies and research and development and administrative functions. Any acquisition will involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired company's employees, operations and products, uncertainties associated with operating in new markets and
working with new customers, the potential loss of the acquired company's key employees as well as the costs associated with completing the acquisition and integrating the acquired company.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Company is subject to a variety of governmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, manufacture, treatment and disposal of toxic or other hazardous substances, chemicals, materials or waste. Any failure to comply with current or future regulations could result in substantial civil penalties or criminal fines being imposed on the Company or its officers, directors or employees, suspension of production, alteration of its manufacturing process or cessation of operations. Such regulations could require the Company to acquire expensive remediation or abatement equipment or to incur substantial expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Any failure by the Company to properly manage the use, disposal or storage of, or adequately restrict the release of, hazardous or toxic substances could subject the Company to significant liabilities.

The outstanding principal balance of each LIBOR Rate Inventory Advance shall bear interest (computed daily on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points. The entire outstanding principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance. Not more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Advances shall be outstanding at any time.

The Revolving Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1 and other amounts due under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.
2.1.1 Letters of Credit.
(a) At Borrower's written request, Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit for Borrower's account. Each Bank severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit, in accordance with such Bank's Percentage Share.
(b) Issuing Bank shall issue the Letter
of Credit upon receipt of a Borrower's written request and Issuing Bank's
standard form of application, stating (a) the date such Borrower wishes to
receive the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the requested
amount of such Letter of Credit; (c) the aggregate amount of all Advances and
Letters of Credit then outstanding; (d) if appropriate, the conditions
requested by Borrower under which the Letter of Credit may be drawn upon; and
(e) any other information Issuing Bank might need to issue the Letter of
Credit. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify all of the Banks upon receipt of a
request for a Letter of Credit.
(c) The maximum aggregate obligation at any one time for undrawn and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit shall be Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Issuing Bank's standard form of application and security agreement for letters of credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (a) expire no later than the Maturity Date, and (b) be otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Issuing Bank, provided that a Letter of Credit may expire after the Maturity Date for so long as Borrower's reimbursement obligation in connection therewith is secured by cash on terms acceptable to Banks. Upon issuing a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall immediately notify the other Bank of such issuance and shall, on a continuing basis, keep the other Bank informed of the drawn and undrawn but unreimbursed amount of each Letter of Credit for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding. With respect to standby Letters of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee not to exceed one and one-half percent (11/2%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the time Borrower requests the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall retain a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit, and shall share the balance of such issuance fee equally with the other Bank. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the time Borrower requests the Letter of Credit and a negotiation fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the
Letter of Credit at the time a draw is made on the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall retain an issuance fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) and a negotiation fee of One Hundred Dollar ($100), and shall share the balance of such issuing fee and negotiation fee equally with the other Bank. On the day on which Issuing Bank honors any drawing made by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank the full amount of the drawing so honored, or at Borrower's option, shall treat the amount of such drawing as an Advance under Section 2.1. The obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable.
(d) Borrower may request that Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the Equivalent Amount thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars, Banks shall create a reserve under the Committed Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by Banks from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
2.1.2 Foreign Exchange Contract; Foreign Exchange Settlements.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may utilize up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for Exchange Contracts, pursuant to which a Bank shall sell to or purchase from Borrower foreign currency on a spot or future basis. All Exchange Contracts must provide for delivery of settlement on or before the Maturity Date. The limit available at any time shall be reduced by the following amounts (the "Foreign Exchange Reserve") on each day (the "Determination Date"): (i) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or settlement allowed more than two business days from the Determination Date, 10% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts; plus (ii) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or settlement allowed within two business days after the Determination Date, 100% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts. In lieu of the Foreign Exchange Reserve for 100% of the gross amount of any Exchange Contract, Borrower may request that Bank treat such amount as an Advance under the Committed Line.
(b) Bank may, in its discretion, terminate the Exchange Contracts at any time (a) that an Event of Default occurs or (b) that there is no sufficient availability under the Committed Line and Borrower does not have available funds in its bank account to satisfy the Foreign Exchange Reserve. If Bank terminates the Exchange Contracts, and without limitation of any applicable indemnities, Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank for any and all fees, costs and expenses relating thereto or arising in connection therewith.
(c) Borrower shall not permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected and settlement allowed in any two business day period to be more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) nor shall Borrower permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts to which Borrower is a party, outstanding at any one time, to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).
(d) Borrower shall execute all standard form applications and agreements of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts.
2.2 Overadvances. If. at any time or for any reason, the sum of (i) Receivables Advances owed by Borrower to Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement plus (ii) the face
amount of Letters of Credit issued under Section 2.1.1 (including undrawn and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) plus (iii) the reserve, if any, taken under Section 2.1.1(d) plus (iv) the Foreign Exchange Reserve is greater than the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Committed. Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Servicing Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, for payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage Shares. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of the Inventory Advances owed by Borrower to Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement is greater than the least of (i) Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) or (ii) the Inventory Borrowing Base or (iii) Thirty Percent (30%) of the outstanding Advances, Borrower shall immediately pay to Servicing Agent in cash the amount of such excess, for payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage Shares.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in
Section 23(b), any Advances of each Bank shall bear interest, on the average
Daily Balance, at the rates specified in Sections 2.1(d), and 21(e),
respectively.
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears upon the earlier of (i) with respect to any LIBOR Advance, the end of the Interest Period or (ii) any payment of principal or (iii) on the first day of each calendar month. Servicing Agent shall, at the option of Servicing Agent, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against Borrower's deposit account held at SVB or against the Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by a Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by a Bank after noon California time shall be deemed to have been received by such Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to a Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Banks the following:
(a) Facility Fee. An annual Facility Fee equal to one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the Committed Line plus one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Inventory Line, pro-rated.
(b) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Each Bank's customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such Bank's audits of Borrower's Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial analysis and examination of Borrower performed from time to time by such Bank or its agents; and
(c) Bank Expenses. Upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses incurred through the date hereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and, within thirty (30) days of demand, other Bank Expenses as they become due from time to time hereunder.
2.6 Additional Costs. In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the written interpretation or application thereof by any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):
(a) subjects any Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof);
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, any Bank; or
(c) imposes upon any Bank any other material condition with respect to its performance under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, reduce the income receivable by such Bank or impose any expense upon such Bank with respect to any loans, such Bank shall notify Borrower thereof in writing. Borrower shall pay to such Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by such Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth such Bank's calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any such amount attributable to any period prior to 180 days prior to the date of such certificate.
2.7 Conversion/Continuation of Advances.
(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that Prime Rate Advances be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances or that any existing LIBOR Rate Advances continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Advances that will constitute LIBOR Rate Advances (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances. Each written request for a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Advance or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be substantially in the form of a LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit C-2, which shall be duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Servicing Agent's receipt of such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances or such LIBOR Rate Advances shall continue, as the case may be provided that:
(i) no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;
(ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of the Agreement;
(iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Banks have established from time to time for Borrower's requests for LIBOR Rate Advances;
(iv) the amount of a Prime Rate Advance shall be $25,000 or more, and the amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000; and
(v) Servicing Agent shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate is available to Banks as of the date of the request for such LIBOR Rate Advance.
Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Advances to LIBOR Rate Advances or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Advances shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Banks shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Banks had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Advances.
(b) Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Advances upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Banks have received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate Advance at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall, at Banks' option, convert to Prime Rate Advances in the event that an Event of Default shall exist. Borrower shall pay to Banks, upon demand by Banks (or Servicing Agent may, at its option, charge Borrower's deposit account) any amounts required to compensate Banks for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing.
2.8 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Advances.
(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Banks receive all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance Borrower shall on demand by Servicing Agent, pay Servicing Agent the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period or term exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Banks by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period or term at the interest rate determined by Servicing Agent in its reasonable discretion. Servicing Agent's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon demand by a Bank, from time to time such amounts as such Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Bank that such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of any Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of such Bank (including any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"); or
(iii) imposes any other material condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
Such Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Such Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 2.8. Determinations and allocations by a Bank for purposes of this Section 2.8 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Advances or of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any reasonable loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Rate Advance on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.
(d) If a Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction. A statement of such Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) If at any time a Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods or any other period are not available to such Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Advance, then such Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice such Bank's obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Advances shall terminate, unless Banks and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances. If it shall become unlawful for a Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by such Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in full with accrued
interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(a)).
2.9 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banks shall have the right to terminate any obligation to make Advances and Inventory Advances under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) the Maturity Date. On the date of termination, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable in cash or by wire transfer.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; and
(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;
(e) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and Bank's obligation to provide Advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then a Bank may do any or all of the following: (a) make a payment of the same or any parts thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Banks deem necessary to protect Banks from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by a Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided. Any payments made by a Bank shall not constitute an agreement by a Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by a Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.4 Remedies Cumulative. Banks' rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. A Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under applicable law. No exercise by a Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by a Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by a Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by a Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of a Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.5 Demand; Protest. Subject to any requirement under other sections of this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, 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 guarantees at any time held by a Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

12. INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
12.1 Proportionate Interests. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights, interests, and obligations of each Bank under this Agreement and the Loan Documents at any time shall be shared in the ratio of (a) the maximum amount the Bank has committed to advance as set forth on the signature page signed by the Bank to (b) the Committed Line. Any reference in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to an allocation between or sharing by the Banks of any right, interest, or duty "ratably," "proportionally," "pro rata," or in similar terms shall refer to this ratio. No Bank is obligated to advance any funds in lieu of or for the account of the other Bank if the latter Bank fails to make such Advance.
12.2 Designation of Service Agent. To facilitate the administration of this Agreement, SVB shall act as "Servicing Agent" for itself and BofH. Servicing Agent shall have only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the
Banks. Servicing Agent shall be deemed to act on behalf of both Banks whenever Servicing Agent acts under this Agreement.
12.3 Resignation. Servicing Agent may resign as Servicing Agent, upon thirty (30) day's written notice to the other Banks and to Borrower and appointment of a successor Servicing Agent.

The resigning Servicing Agent shall cooperate fully in delivering to the successor Servicing Agent the Loan Documents and copies of all records relating to the Advances and payments made hereunder that the successor Servicing Agent reasonably requests.
12.4 Servicing Agent as Bank. SVB shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not Servicing Agent. The term "Banks" includes Servicing Agent in Servicing Agent's individual capacity. Servicing Agent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as agent or trustee for other lenders to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, or other business with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliates as if Servicing Agent were not Servicing Agent.
12.5 No Agency. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, NEITHER BANK IS AN AGENT OF THE OTHER. NEITHER BANK HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO ACT OR FAIL TO ACT FOR THE OTHER. THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH BANK HEREUNDER ARE SEVERAL. NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE OF ANY OTHER BANK TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
12.6 No Reliance. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of Banks in specifying their rights and obligations with respect to each other, and not for the benefit of any Borrower or its assigns or successors.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without a Bank's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in such Bank's sole discretion. Subject to the terms of any agreement between Banks, a Bank shall have 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 such Bank's obligations, rights and benefits hereunder, subject to the provisions of this Section 13.1.
(b) A Bank may sell, negotiate or grant participations to other financial institutions in all or part of the obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the Loan Documents, without notice to or the approval of Borrower; provided that any such sale, negotiation or participation shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state securities laws and the other requirements of this Section 13.1. Notwithstanding the sale, negotiation or grant of participations, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) The grant of a participation interest shall
be on such terms as a Bank determines are appropriate, provided only that (1)
the holder of such a participation interest shall not have any of the rights of
such Bank under this Agreement except, if the participation agreement so
provides, rights to demand the payment of costs of the type described in
Section 2.6, provided that the aggregate amount that the Borrower shall be
required to pay under Section 2.6 with respect to any ratable share of the
Committed Line or any Advance (including amounts paid to participants) shall
not exceed the amount that Borrower would have had to pay if no participation agreements had been entered into, and (2) the consent of the holder of such a participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Agreement other than those which (i) increase the amount of the Committed Line, (ii) extend the term of this Agreement, (iii) decrease the rate of interest or the amount of any fee or any other amount payable to a Bank under this Agreement, (iv) reduce the principal amount payable under this Agreement, or (v) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or any other amount payable under this Agreement.
(d) A Bank may assign, from time to time, all or
any portion of the Committed Line to an Affiliate of such Bank or to The
Federal Reserve Bank or, subject to the prior written approval of Borrower
(which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), to any other financial
institution; provided, that (i) the amount of the Committed Line being assigned
pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than $500,000 and
shall be an integral multiple of $250,000 and (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Borrower an assignment agreement in a
form reasonably acceptable to each. Upon such execution and delivery, from and
after the effective date specified in such assignment agreement (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment
agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) Bank
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than pursuant to this
Section 13.1(d)), and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or
the remaining portion of Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
Bank shall cease to be a party hereto. In the event of an assignment
hereunder, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to
reflect the mechanical changes which are necessary to document such assignment.
Each party shall bear its own expenses (including without limitation attorneys'
fees and costs) with respect to such an amendment.
13.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by a Bank as a result of, or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to, transactions between such Bank and Borrower, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
13.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
13.6 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, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
13.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (excluding Obligations under Section 2.6 and 13.2 to the extent they remain inchoate at the time the outstanding payment Obligations are paid in full) remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify a Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against such Bank have run.
13.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information each Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Advances, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may deem appropriate in the exercise of its remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination, copying or making extracts of, or discussions of: any document, information or other matter (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information (provided that the terms of agreements that generate Accounts shall not be deemed to be "non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information"), or (ii) in respect to which disclosure to Bank (or designated representative) is then prohibited by (a) law, or (b) an agreement binding upon Borrower or any Subsidiary that was not entered into by Borrower or such Subsidiary for the primary purpose of concealing information from Bank.
