(iv) Borrower takes any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (v)

represented to the Lender in connection with the Lender's approval of the Loan

period under such document; or (ii) Borrower fails to pay any of its
indebtedness or to perform any of its obligations when due under any other
material document between Borrower and any other Person, provided the Lender
reasonably determines that such failure has an actual or potential material

of
the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section constitutes or shall be
construed as the Lender's consent to any lien being placed on the Collateral,
other than the Permitted Liens;
(h) Attachment.

all or
any material part of the assets of Borrower or any Guarantor are attached,
seized, subjected to a writ or levied upon by any court process and Borrower

provision contained in this Section shall be in lieu of, and not in addition
to,
any and all other cure periods contained in the Loan Documents;
(i) Injunctions.
If
a
court order is entered against Borrower or any Guarantor enjoining the conduct

individual Guarantor if, within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of

the

(i)
the validity or priority of the Lender's security interest in the Collateral

the
occurrence of such an event on or subsequent to the Closing Date;
(n) Default

other form of entity, Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state in which Borrower is organized, and
Borrower is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the ownership of its assets or the conduct of its business
requires qualification as a foreign entity and where the failure to so qualify
would have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business.
(b) Authority
to Own Assets. Borrower
has the full power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business
in which it is now engaged.
-55-
(c) Authority
to Execute Loan Documents. Borrower
has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Borrower.
The
Person or Persons signing the Loan Documents on behalf of Borrower are duly
authorized to execute the Loan Documents and all other documents necessary
to
consummate the Loan on behalf of Borrower.
(d) Valid
Obligations. The
Loan
Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and the
Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms (except
as
enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally)
(e) No
Consents Required. No
consent of any other Person and no consent, approval, authorization or other
action by or filing with any Governmental Authority not previously obtained

Executive Office. Borrower's
chief executive office is located at the address set forth in Borrower's
Application.
(g) Borrower's
Name. Borrower
has set forth above its full and correct name, and Borrower does not use any
other names or tradenames, except for the tradenames disclosed in Borrower's
Application.
(h) No
Violations. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and compliance with
their respective terms will not conflict with or result in a violation or breach
of any of the terms or conditions of any document to which Borrower is a party
or by which Borrower is bound or any order or judgment of any court or
Governmental Authority binding on Borrower.
(i) Organizational
Documents.
Borrower's
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Borrower's
compliance with their respective terms (i) will not violate any Governmental

(j) Tax
Claims. To
the
best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no claims or adjustments proposed by
any
taxing authority for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in
additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower and each
Guarantor have filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be
filed under applicable Governmental Requirements and have paid all taxes,
assessments, fees, penalties, and other governmental charges that are due and
payable in connection therewith.
(k) Litigation.
To
the
best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or any
Guarantor in any court or before any other Governmental Authority which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change
in
the assets, properties, business, prospects, profits, or condition of Borrower
or any of such Persons, nor does Borrower know of any basis for any such action,
suit, proceeding or investigation.

Statements. All

been furnished to the Lender prior to the Closing Date (i) are accurate and
complete in all material respects as of the dates appearing thereon; (ii)
present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Person
to whom the financial statement applies as of the dates and for the periods
shown on such statements; and (iii) disclose all contingent liabilities
affecting the Person to whom the financial statement applies to the extent
that
such disclosure is required by generally accepted accounting principles. Since
the last date covered by any such statement, there has been no material adverse
change in the financial condition of Borrower, and Borrower is now and at all
times hereafter shall continue to be solvent.
(m) Periodic
Financial Statements. All
financial statements respecting the financial condition of Borrower hereafter
delivered to the Lender by Borrower shall satisfy the requirements of clauses
(i) through (iii) of Section 5.1 (I) above.
(n) Margin
Stock. Borrower
is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation G of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of the
Loan shall be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit
to
others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock, unless such
use is approved in writing by the Lender or otherwise expressly contemplated
by
the Loan Documents.
(o) Licenses
and Governmental Requirements. Neither
Borrower nor any Guarantor (i) is in violation in any material respect of any
Governmental Permits or Governmental Requirements (including all Hazardous
Substance Laws) to which it is subject; or (ii) has failed to obtain any
Governmental Permits necessary for the ownership of its properties or the
conduct of its business.
-56-
(p) Other
Facts. All
of
the information set forth in Borrower's Application is accurate and complete
in
all material respects. There is no fact which Borrower has failed to disclose
to
the Lender in writing which (i) may materially and adversely affect the assets,
properties, business, prospects, profits, or condition of Borrower, or any
Guarantor; or (ii) may be necessary to disclose in order to keep the
representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.1 from being
misleading.
5.2
Borrower's
Warranties. Borrower's
warranties and representations set forth in Section 5.1 above shall be true
and
correct at the time of execution of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date,
shall survive the closing of the Loan, and shall remain true and correct as
of
the date on which such warranties and representations are given. For purposes
of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the term "to the best of Borrower's
knowledge" shall be deemed to mean to the best knowledge of Borrower after
a
commercially reasonable and diligent investigation, inspection and inquiry
by
Borrower.
ARTICLE

MISCELLANEOUS
6.1
Relationship
of Parties. The
Lender shall not be deemed to be, nor do the Lender or Borrower intend that
the
Lender shall ever become, a partner, joint venturer, trustee, fiduciary,
manager, controlling person, or other business associate or participant of
any
kind in the business or affairs of Borrower, whether as a result of the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. In
exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, the Lender shall
at
all times be acting only as a lender to Borrower within the normal and usual
scope of activities of a lender.
6.2
Indemnification.
Borrower
shall indemnify and hold the Lender and its officers, directors, agents,
employees, representatives, shareholders, affiliates, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and
all
claims, demands, damages (including special and consequential damages),
liabilities, actions, causes of action, legal proceedings, administrative
proceedings, suits, injuries, costs, losses, debts, liens, interest, fines,
charges, penalties and expenses (including attorneys', accountants',
consultants', and expert witness fees and costs) of every kind and nature
(collectively, the "Claims") arising directly or indirectly out of or relating
to any or all of the following: (i) Borrower's breach of any of its Obligations
or warranties under the Loan Documents; (ii) any act or omission by Borrower
or
any of its employees or agents; (iii) Borrower's use of the Collateral or any
other activity or thing allowed or suffered by Borrower to be done on or about
the any of Borrower's properties; and (iv) any claims for commissions, finder's
fees or brokerage fees arising out of the Loan or the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, if such claim is based on any act, omission or agreement
by Borrower or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section, Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified
Party for any liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or
intentional tortious conduct of such Indemnified Party which such Indemnified
Party is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have committed. Borrower's obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties
under this Section 6.2 shall survive the cancellation of the Note and the
release of the Lender's security interests under the Security
Agreements.
6.3
Power
of Attorney. Borrower
irrevocably appoints the Lender, with full power of substitution, as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power, in the Lender's
own
name or in the name of Borrower to sign, record and file all documents referred
to in Section 3.6 above. The Lender shall have the right to exercise the power
of attorney granted in this Section directly or to delegate all or part of
such
power to one or more agents of the Lender. Nothing contained in the Loan
Documents shall be construed to obligate the Lender to act on behalf of Borrower
as attorney-in-fact.
6.4
Actions.
Whether
or not an Event of Default has occurred, the Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding
which affects or which the Lender determines may affect (a) the Collateral;
(b)
Borrower's or the Lender's respective rights or obligations under the Loan
Documents; (c) the Loan; or (d) the disbursement of any proceeds of the Loan.
Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, the Lender shall at all times
have the right to take any or all actions which the Lender determines to be
necessary or appropriate to protect the Lender's interest in connection with
the
Loan.
6.5
Attorneys'
Fees and Costs and Other Expenses. Upon
the
Lender's demand, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the Lender in connection with
the exercise of any or all of the Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents; the enforcement of any or all Obligations, whether or not any legal
proceedings are instituted by the Lender; or the defense of any action or
proceeding by Borrower or any other Person relating to the Loan. Without
limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, such costs and
expenses shall include all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Lender
in
connection with any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
or
other similar proceeding by or against Borrower or any Guarantor which in any
way affects the Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents. Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Lender under this Section
shall include payment of interest on all amounts expended by the Lender from
the
date of expenditure at the rate of interest applicable to principal under the
Note. Wherever any of the terms of the Loan Documents provide for the payment
or
recovery of costs, fees, or other expenses (including attorneys' fees and
costs), such term shall be deemed to provide for the payment or recovery of
reasonable costs, fees, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs.
6.6
No
Third Party Beneficiaries. The
Loan
Documents are entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Lender,
Borrower and Guarantors, as applicable, and their respective permitted
successors and assigns. No other Person shall have any rights or causes of
action under the Loan Documents.
-57-
6.7
Documents.
The
form
and substance of all documents and instruments which Borrower is required to
deliver to the Lender under this Agreement shall be subject to the Lender's
approval.
6.8
Notices.
All
notices and demands by the Lender to Borrower under this Agreement shall be
in
writing and shall be effective on the earliest of (a) personal delivery to
Borrower; (b) two (2) days after deposit in first class or certified United
States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower at the address set forth
in
the Loan Schedule; and (c) one (1) business day after deposit with a reputable
overnight delivery service, delivery charges prepaid, addressed to Borrower
at
the address set forth in the Loan Schedule. All notices and demands by Borrower
to the Lender under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective
on
actual receipt by the Lender at the Lender's address shown in the Loan Schedule;
provided, however, that non-receipt of any such notice or demand by the Lender
as a result of the Lender's refusal to accept delivery or the Lender's failure
to notify Borrower of the Lender's change of address shall be deemed to
constitute receipt by the Lender. The addresses specified in the Loan Schedule
may be changed by
notice
given in accordance with this Section. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, service of any notice on any one of such Persons by the Lender shall
be
effective service on Borrower for all purposes.
6.9
Severability;
No Offsets. If
any
provision of the Loan Documents shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unlawful, voidable, void, or unenforceable for any reason,
such provision shall be deemed to be severable from and shall in no way affect
the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Loan
Documents. No Obligations shall be offset by all or part of any claim, cause
of
action, or cross-claim of any kind, whether liquidated or unliquidated, which
Borrower now has or may hereafter acquire or allege to have acquired against
the
Lender. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower waives the benefits
of
any applicable law, regulation, or procedure which provides, in substance,
that
where cross demands for money exist between parties at any point in time when
neither demand is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, and an action
is thereafter commenced by one such party, the other party may assert the
defense of payment in that the two demands are compensated so far as they equal
each other, notwithstanding that an independent action asserting the claim
would
at the time of filing the response be barred by the applicable statute of
limitations.
6.10
Interpretation.
Whenever
the context of this Agreement reasonably requires, all words used in the
singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural, and the neuter gender
shall be deemed to include the masculine and feminine gender, and vice versa.
The headings to sections of this Agreement are for convenient reference only
and
shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, (a) the term "including" shall be deemed to mean "including without
limitation"; (b) the term "document" shall be deemed to include all written
contracts, commitments, agreements, and instruments; and (c) the term
"discretion," when applied to any determination, consent, or approval right
by
the Lender, shall be deemed to mean the Lender's sole but good faith business
judgment.
6.11
Time
of the Essence.
Time
is
of the essence in the performance of each provision of the Loan Documents by
Borrower.
6.12
Amendments.
The
Loan
Documents (excluding the Guaranties) may be modified only by a written agreement
signed by Borrower and the Lender.
6.13
Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
document.
6.14
Entire
Agreement. The
Loan
Documents contain the entire agreement concerning the subject matter of the
Loan
Documents and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, agreements,
statements, understandings, terms, conditions, representations and warranties,
whether oral or written, by and among the Lender, Borrower and Guarantors
concerning the Loan which is the subject matter of the Loan
Documents.
6.15
No
Waiver by Lender. No
waiver
by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies in connection with the
Obligations or of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents shall
be
effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the
Lender.
6.16
Cumulative
Remedies. No
right
or remedy of the Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall
be exclusive of any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents or to which
the Lender may be entitled. The Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies which
the Lender may have under any other document with Borrower and under applicable
law.
'
6.17
Joint
and Several Liability. Each
Person signing this Agreement as Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable
to the Lender for the performance of Borrower's Obligations under the Loan
Documents. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the occurrence of
any
Default or Event of Default with respect to any one or more of such Persons
shall constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, and (in the
case
of an Event of Default) entitle the Lender to exercise its rights and remedies
under Section 4.2 above. Each Borrower who is a married person agrees that
the
Lender shall have the right to recourse against his or her community property
and separate property for any or all Obligations to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
-58-
6.18
Assignment.
Borrower
shall not assign, encumber, or otherwise transfer any or all of Borrower's
rights under the Loan Documents, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
operation of law, without the Lender's prior written consent, which consent
may
be withheld in the Lender's discretion. Any purported assignment, encumbrance
or
transfer by Borrower in violation of this Section shall be void. Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Lender's agreement to make the Loan to Borrower
and enter into the Loan Documents is based in material part on the Lender's
reliance on Borrower's particular financial condition, credit history,
character, experience, ability, skill, and reputation, as represented by
Borrower to the Lender.
6.19
Waivers.
Borrower
waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of demand, dishonor,
protest and non-payment, and all other notices and demands in connection with
the delivery, acceptance, performance, default under, and enforcement of the
Loan Documents. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations
as a defense to the enforcement of any or all of the Loan Documents to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Borrower waives all rights, remedies, and
benefits under California Civil Code Section 2822(a). Without limiting the
generality of the immediately preceding
sentence, in the event of Borrower's payment in partial satisfaction of any
or
all of the Obligations, Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to designate the portion of the Obligations that is to be satisfied.
Borrower and all Persons holding a lien of any kind affecting all or part of
the
Collateral who have actual or constructive notice of this Agreement waive (a)
all rights to require marshalling of assets or liens in the event of Lender's
exercise of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; and (b)
all
rights to require Lender to exercise any other right or power or to pursue
any
other remedy which Lender may have under any document or applicable law before
exercising any other such right, power, or remedy.
6.20
Applicable
Law; Jurisdiction. The
Loan
Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of California. Borrower agrees that the courts of the State of California
and Federal District Courts located in San Francisco County, California, shall
have exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action or proceeding directly
or
indirectly arising out of or related to the negotiation, execution, delivery,
performance, breach, enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement and all
of
the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by or related
to any or all of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not any claim,
counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is characterized as
arising out of fraud, negligence, intentional misconduct, breach of contract
or
fiduciary duty, or violation of any Governmental Requirements. Borrower
irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, to such venue,
and to the service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices
in this Agreement. Borrower waives all objections to such jurisdiction and
venue, including all objections that are based upon inconvenience or the nature
of the forum.
6.21
WAIVER
OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING
OR
COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY

Authorization
to Charge Account.
|
9.1
Automatic
Payment Authorization. Borrower
authorizes the Lender to make automatic deductions from the following deposit
account (the "Account") maintained by Borrower at Lender's offices in order
to
pay, when and as due, all of the regularly scheduled installment payments of
interest, principal, or both principal and interest (a "Payment") that Borrower
is required or obligated to make under the Note:
Account
No: 000-0000-0000
Without
limiting any of the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that if Borrower defaults in its obligation to make a Payment because
the
collected funds in the Account are insufficient to make such Payment in full
on
the date that such Payment is due, then Borrower shall be responsible for all
late payment charges and other consequences of such default by Borrower under
the terms of the Loan Documents.
9.2 Revocation
of Authorization. Subject
to the Section immediately following this Section, this authorization shall
continue in full force and effect until the date which is five (5) business
days
after the date on which Lender actually receives written notice from Borrower
expressly revoking the authority granted to the Lender to charge the Account
for
Payments in connection with the Loan. No such revocation by Borrower shall
in
any way release Borrower from or otherwise affect Borrower's obligations under
the Loan Documents, including Borrower's obligations to continue to make all
Payments required under the terms of the Note.
9.3Termination
by Lender. The
Lender, at its option and in its discretion, reserves the right to terminate
the
arrangement for automatic deductions from the Account pursuant to this Section
at any time effective upon written notice of such election (a "Termination
Notice") given by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may elect to give a Termination
Notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to comply with any of the Lender's rules,
regulations, or policies relating to the Account, including requirements
regarding minimum balance, service charges, overdrafts, insufficient funds,
uncollected funds, returned items, and limitations on
withdrawals.
9.4Increase
in Interest Rate Upon Termination of Automatic Debit Arrangement.
The
date on which the arrangement for automatic deductions from the Account
terminates (whether as a result of Borrower's revocation of such arrangement
or
any Termination Notice given by the Lender) is referred to as the "Auto Debit
Termination Date." Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender would not
have been willing to make the Loan at the interest rate or interest rates
contained in the Note in the absence of the arrangement for automatic deductions
from the Account pursuant to this authorization. Therefore, effective on the
first due date of a Payment following the Auto Debit Termination Date, the
Lender, at its option and in its discretion, shall have the right to increase
the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to a rate
which is equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (the "Percentage
Rate Increase") above the otherwise applicable interest rate under the terms
of
the Note. If the Note provides for amortized monthly payments of principal
and
interest, then the amount of such monthly payments shall be increased by the
Lender based on a reamortization schedule prepared by the Lender using the
increased interest rate and the then remaining number of months in the original
amortization period that was used by the Lender to calculate the original
monthly payment amount. Such new monthly payments shall be payable commencing
on
the first Payment due date following the date of the interest rate
Increase.

Other
Covenants.
|
Borrower
shall at all times comply with all of the following additional
covenants:
10.1
Borrower has outstanding, and may hereafter incur, additional indebtedness
to
Lender under one or more loan agreements. Borrower hereby agrees that the breach
of, or the occurrence of an event of default under any other loan agreement
between Borrower and Lender shall constitute an event of default under this
Agreement.
10.2
Borrower shall not make distributions with the exception of: (1) to ASDS for
taxes and debt service and (2) to ASI for management fees no greater than
$75,000.00.
