This BUSINESS FINANCING AGREEMENT, dated as of October 22, 2010, is made and entered into between BRIDGE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”) and CXR LARUS CORPORATION, a Delaware(“Borrower”) on the following terms and conditions:

1. FINANCED RECEIVABLES.

1.1 Funding Requests. Borrower may request that Lender finance Receivables by delivering to Lender a Funding Request for the Receivables for which a request for financing is made. Lender shall be entitled to rely on all the information provided by Borrower to Lender on or with the Funding Request. The Lender may honor Funding Requests, instructions or repayments given by the Borrower (if an individual) or by an Authorized Person.

1.2 Acceptance of Receivables. Upon acceptance by Lender of any Receivable described in a Funding Request, Lender shall make an Advance to Borrower in an amount up to the Advance Rate multiplied by the Receivable Amount of such Receivable. Upon Lender’s acceptance of the Receivable and payment to Borrower of the Advance, the Receivable shall become a “Financed Receivable.” It shall be a condition to each Advance that (a) all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 are true and correct on the date of such Advance as though made at and as of each such date and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance. Lender has no obligation to finance any Receivable and may exercise its sole discretion in determining whether any Receivable is an Eligible Receivable before financing such Receivable. In no event shall the Lender be obligated to make any Advance that results in an Overadvance or while any Overadvance is outstanding.

1.3 Rights in Respect of Financed Receivables. Effective upon Lender’s payment of an Advance, Lender shall have the exclusive right to receive all Collections on the Financed Receivable. Lender shall have, with respect to any goods related to the Financed Receivable, all the rights and remedies of an unpaid seller under the California Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, including the rights of replevin, claim and delivery, reclamation and stoppage in transit.

1.4 Reserve. The Reserve is a book balance maintained on the records of Lender and shall not be a segregated fund and is not the property of Borrower.

1.5 Due Diligence. Lender may audit Borrower’s Receivables and any and all records pertaining to the Collateral, at Lender’s sole discretion and at Borrowers expense. Lender may at any time and from time to time contact Account Debtors and other persons obligated or knowledgeable in respect of Receivables to confirm the Receivable Amount of such Receivables, to determine whether Receivables constitute Eligible Receivables, and for any other purpose in connection with this Agreement. If any of the Collateral or Borrower’s books or records pertaining to the Collateral are in the possession of a third party, Borrower authorizes that third party to permit Lender or its agents to have access to perform inspections or audits thereof and to respond to Lender’s requests for information concerning such Collateral and records.

2. COLLECTIONS, CHARGES AND REMITTANCES.

2.1 Collections. Subject to the Lender’s timely receipt of accurate application instructions from the Borrower with respect to the source and application of Collections, Lender shall credit to Collections with respect to Financed Receivables received by Lender to Borrower’s Account Balance within three business days of the date good funds are received. If no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees to credit the Refundable Reserve with the amount of Collections it receives with respect to Receivables other than Financed Receivables; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Lender may apply all Collections to the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine. Lender has no duty to do any act other than to turnover such amounts as required above. If an item of Collections is not honored or Lender does not receive good funds for any reason, the amount shall be included in the Account Balance as if the Collections had not been received and Finance Charges shall accrue thereon.

2.2 Financed Receivables Activity Report. Within 15 days after the end of each Monthly Period, Lender shall send to Borrower a report covering the transactions for that Monthly Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, and other fees and charges. The accounting shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless Borrower makes written objection to Lender within 30 days after the Lender sends the accounting to Borrower.

2.3 Reconciliations. Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall refund to Borrower after each Month End, the Refundable Reserve, if positive, calculated for such Month End, subject to Lender’s rights under Section 3.3 and Lender’s rights of offset and recoupment. If the Refundable Reserve is negative, Borrower shall immediately pay such amount in the same manner as set forth in Section 3.3 for Overadvances.

2.4 Adjustments. In the event of a breach of Sections 5 or 6, or in the event any Adjustment or dispute is asserted by any Account Debtor, Borrower shall promptly advise Lender and shall, subject to the Lender’s approval, resolve such disputes and advise Lender of any Adjustments; provided that in no case will the aggregate Adjustments made with respect to any Financed Receivable exceed 2% of its original Receivable Amount unless Borrower has obtained the prior written consent of Lender. Unless the Advance for the disputed Financed Receivable is repaid in full, Lender shall have the right, at any time, to take possession of any rejected, returned, or recovered personal property. If such possession is not taken by Lender, Borrower is to resell it for Lender’s account at Borrower’s expense with the proceeds made payable to Lender. While Borrower retains possession of any returned goods, Borrower shall segregate said goods and xxxx them as property of Lender.

15. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

16. JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION.

16.1 In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

16.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 16.3 below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

16.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii)

appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

16.4 The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

16.5 The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

16.6 The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

16.7 Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

16.8 The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

16.9 If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

16.10 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR

CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

17. TERM AND TERMINATION. Borrower and Lender each have the right to terminate the financing of Receivables under this Agreement at any time upon notice to the other: provided that no such termination shall affect Lender’s security interest in the Financed Receivables and other Collateral, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective, and the obligations of Borrower to indemnify Lender with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 11 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Lender have run, and Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder shall survive any such termination, until all transactions entered into and Obligations incurred hereunder or in connection herewith have been completed and satisfied in full. Upon any such termination, Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, immediately repay all Advances then outstanding.

18. OTHER AGREEMENTS. (i) Any security agreements, liens and/or security interests securing payment of any obligations of Borrower owing to Lender or its affiliates also secure the Obligations, and are valid and subsisting and are not adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. An Event of Default under this Agreement constitutes a default under other outstanding agreements between Borrower and Lender or its affiliates; (ii) Lender reserves the right to issue press releases, advertisements, and other promotional materials describing any successful outcome of services provided on Borrower’s behalf. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to identify Borrower by name in those materials.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have executed this Agreement on the day and year above written.
