Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her authorized designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.

Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

5.2 Collateral.
Borrower has good title to the Collateral, and good and marketable title to the Tempe Property, free of Liens except Permitted Liens.

5.3 Litigation.
Except as set forth in the Schedule (which Schedule Borrower may update from time to time by written notice to Bank), there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary which could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $100,000 or more, or in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.
All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.

Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

9
outstanding Obligations; provided, however, Bank shall not apply amounts in the Collateral Account against amounts owing under the Committed Equipment Line or Term Loan unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Amounts deposited in the Collateral Account will be credited to the Collateral Account three (3) Business Days after receipt, if by check, or on the same day, if by wire or other electronic transfer.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;
(g) Require Borrower to provide cash collateral in the face amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit; and
(h) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Accounts Collection.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and demand payment of, and collect any Accounts, general intangibles and other Collateral, and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Bank to endorse or sign Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, and, in Bank’s good faith
14
business judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and general intangibles for less than face value. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any reasonable amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower otherwise bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand Waiver.
Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
9.8 Collateral Control Provisions
Without limiting Bank’s other rights and remedies, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the provisions of Exhibit E hereto (the “Collateral Control Provisions”) shall be effective, upon written notice by Bank to the Borrower.

Collateral Control and Related Provisions on Event of Default
Without limiting Bank’s other rights and remedies, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the following provisions (the “Collateral Control Provisions”) shall be effective immediately upon notice by Bank to the Borrower:
(1) Schedules and Documents relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and loan requests, schedules and assignments of all Accounts, and schedules of collections, all on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s security interest and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts. Together with each such schedule and assignment, or later if requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all original shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Bank an aged accounts receivable trial balance in such form and at such intervals as Bank shall request. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, immediately upon receipt thereof and in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, all of which shall be with recourse. Borrower shall also provide Bank with copies of all credit memos from time to time on request by Bank.
(2) Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts and all other Collateral in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine. Borrower agrees that it will not commingle such payments and proceeds with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such payments and proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Bank may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Bank may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Bank may specify. Bank or its designee may, at any time, notify account debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to Bank. Nothing in this Exhibit limits the restrictions on Transfers of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
(3) Loan Requests. Without limiting the right of Bank to cease making Credit Extensions on an Event of Default, requests for Credit Extensions shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by a current Transaction Report.
(4) Reserves. Without limiting the right of Bank to cease making Credit Extensions on an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, from time to time, to establish and deduct the following reserves from the amount of Credit Extensions, Letters of Credit and other financial accommodations under the lending formula(s) provided in the Agreement: (a) reserves to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks which, as determined by Bank in good faith, do or may affect adversely (i) the Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its value (including without limitation any increase in delinquencies of Accounts), (ii) the assets, business or prospects of Borrower, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Bank in the Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof); and (b) reserves to reflect Bank’s good faith belief that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Bank is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.
