2.           Advances and Charges.

2.1.           Upon request of Borrower from time to time during the term hereof, Lender shall loan and advance to Borrower the amount requested, provided that said amount together with the then outstanding balance of advances previously made does not exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (less discounts, credits, allowances, service charges, commissions, and freight charges which may be granted to or taken by the account debtors).  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default per Section 10 of this Agreement or if Lender reasonably believes, in the exercise of its best judgment and in good faith, that there has been a Material Impairment in the value of its Collateral or in the prospect of repayment of Borrower's Obligations, Lender reserves the right at any time and from time to time to change the percentage to be advanced to Borrower.

2.2.           The conditions precedent to each advance hereunder are that no Event of Default hereunder has occurred nor is the effect thereof continuing, and Borrower is in full, faithful and timely compliance with each and all of the covenants, conditions, warranties, and representations, contained in this Agreement and in every other agreement between Lender and Borrower.  As a condition precedent to the first advance hereunder, Lender must also receive an official report from the Secretary of State of each Collateral State, the Chief Executive Office State, and the Borrower State (the “SOS Reports”), indicating that Lender’s security interest in the Collateral is prior to all other security interests and other interests reflected in the report.

2.3.           Lender is hereby authorized to make advances based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer, employee, or representative of Borrower.

2.4.           Unless provided otherwise in a promissory note executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender in connection with this Agreement, all Obligations shall be due and payable no later than the earlier of:  (a) the last day of the term (or renewal term, if any) of this Agreement, (b) the day an Event of Default occurs, and (c) the day the Agreement is terminated by either party.

2.5.           All Obligations shall bear interest, computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days outstanding, at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus four and three-quarters of one percent (4.75%) per annum; provided, however, in no event shall the interest

- 5 -

rate chargeable on such Obligations be less than eight percent (8.00%) per annum, nor shall the minimum amount of interest payable monthly during the original and each renewal term of this Agreement be less than $8,750.00 per month.

2.6.           In the event of a change in the Prime Rate from time to time, the rate of interest to be charged to Borrower shall be correspondingly adjusted as of the date of the Prime Rate change.  Interest shall be paid on the first day of each month.  Any interest not paid when due shall become a part of the Obligations, and shall thereafter bear interest as provided herein.  If an Event of Default or termination of this Agreement because of such default occurs, Borrower shall pay upon Lender’s demand an amount equal to the minimum monthly interest payment amount multiplied by the number of months of the term (or renewal term, as applicable), of this Agreement that would otherwise remain but for the occurrence of such Event of Default or termination.

2.7.           Lender shall render statements to Borrower of the Obligations, including all principal, interest and Lender’s Costs owing, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Lender unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower notifies Lender in writing specifying the error or errors, if any, contained in any such statements.

2.8.           In consideration for establishing the Credit Facility on the terms and conditions provided for herein, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a commitment and funding fee, which shall be deemed earned and non-refundable upon payment thereof:  (a) in the amount of one and one-tenth of one percent (1.10%) of the Credit Facility upon the execution hereof; and (b) in the amount of one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Credit Facility upon each annual date of this Agreement until such time as the Credit Facility has been terminated.  In the event that the term of this Agreement is renewed as provided in article 5 below, Borrower shall pay within ten days prior to the anniversary date to Lender a renewal fee of one percent (1.00%) of the Credit Facility each renewal period.   In the event that the amount under the Credit Facility is increased, Borrower shall pay to Lender a one percent (1.00%) line increase fee on the additional commitment amount. If at any time the amount of Obligations exceeds the amount Borrower is allowed to borrow under Section 2.1 (“Over Formula”), Borrower shall pay Lender the amount of Lender’s standard Over Formula fees as determined by Lender from time to time. All fees provided for in this Section shall be deemed earned and non-refundable upon payment thereof.

2.9.           Upon an Event of Default, and for as long as such Event of Default or the consequences thereof continue, interest shall accrue on the Obligations from and after such Event of Default at a rate of interest which is four (4) percentage points greater than the rate then being charged.  If, upon Borrower’s request, Lender gives a written acknowledgment that it will not exercise any of its remedies as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $1,000.00.  If Borrower fails for more than fifteen (15) days to furnish its monthly financial statements as required by Section 7.1(h), Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $50.00 for each day prior to Lender’s receipt of such financial statements.

2.10.           No provision of this Agreement or any other aspect of the transaction of which this Agreement is a part is intended to or shall require or permit the holder, directly or indirectly, to take, receive, contract for or reserve, in money, goods or things in action, or in any other way, any interest (including amounts deemed by law to be interest, such amounts to then be deemed to be an addition to the rate of interest agreed upon) in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law in the State of California as of the date hereof.  If any such excess shall nevertheless be

- 6 -

provided for, or be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be provided for, the undersigned shall not be obligated to pay such excess but, if paid, then such excess shall be applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Agreement or, to the extent that the principal balance has been paid in full by reason of such application or otherwise, such excess shall be remitted to the undersigned. In the event any amount determined to be excessive interest is applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Agreement, and thereafter the rate of interest accruing under this Agreement is less than the rate permitted by law, this Agreement shall thereafter accrue interest at such highest lawful rate until such time as the amount accrued at the interest rate differential equals the amount of excessive interest previously applied against principal.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, if any charge or fee for which Borrower becomes obligated in connection with the Loan Documents constitutes interest and is not otherwise stated as a rate, such charge or fee shall be deemed an additional rate of interest to which Borrower agrees, computed by dividing the amount of such charge or fee by the principal amount of the Credit Facility.  This provision shall control every agreement between Borrower and Lender.

3.           Creation of Security Interest.

3.1.           Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the Collateral to secure the prompt payment and timely performance by Borrower of the Obligations.

3.4.           Borrower authorizes Lender to file one or more financing statements and initial financing statements describing the Collateral.  Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s officers, employees or agents designated by Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney with power, but without notice to Borrower, to sign the name of Borrower, or take any other necessary action, on any Financing Statement, initial financing statement, continuation statement, security agreement, mortgage, assignment, certificate of title, affidavit, letter of authority, or notice or other similar document necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower shall make appropriate entries in Borrower’s Books disclosing Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.  The power of attorney created in this Section is coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable until all Obligations are fully paid and satisfied.

3.5.           Lender (by any of its officers, employees or agents) shall have the right at any time or times hereafter during Borrower’s usual business hours to inspect the Collateral, provided that as long as Lender reasonably believes that no Event of Default exists, such inspection shall be after notice to Borrower.

3.6.           To further evidence the security interest of Lender in Accounts, Borrower shall, from time to time, provide Lender with schedules and written assignments of its Accounts, in form satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver such schedules and/or assignments shall not affect or

3.8.           Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with all information relating to the financial condition of any account debtor, and shall notify Lender of the rejection of goods by any account debtor, delay in the delivery of goods, or any returns or recoveries of goods, nonperformance of contracts, or the assertion by an account debtor of any claim, offset or counterclaim, and the settlement or adjustment of any dispute or claim with an account debtor on terms approved by Lender.

3.10.           Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with Lender (and execute such forms or notices as Lender may request) in notifying account debtors that their Accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a security interest therein and directing that all payments be remitted directly to Lender.  If Borrower receives any payment on any Account or any proceeds, such shall be received in trust as Lender’s trustee and Borrower shall each day deliver said payments and proceeds to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtors, together with a remittance report, in form satisfactory to Lender.  Upon the receipt of any check or other item of payment by Lender, such shall be considered a payment on the Obligations effective as of the date deemed received by Lender in its ordinary course of business for purposes of calculating availability under Section 2.1 hereof, however except as provided in this sentence and the following sentence, such shall not be considered payment to Lender until such check or other item of payment is actually paid.  For the purpose of computing the interest to be charged to Borrower under Section 2.5 hereof:  (i) all checks, all payments affected by wire transfer or automated clearing house, and other items of payment delivered to Lender from time to time shall be treated as being paid three (3) business days after the date Lender actually receives such check, wire transfer or automated clearing house, or other item of payment, subject to reversal of entry in the event such remittance is not paid upon presentment to the drawee bank.  It is further understood that for the purpose of computing interest to be charged to Borrower, the amount of any credit balance that Borrower may have with Lender shall be treated as an advance by Lender to Borrower under this Agreement.

3.11.           Borrower shall keep all goods returned by any account debtor and all goods repossessed or stopped in transit by Borrower, segregated from other property of Borrower, holding the same as trustee for Lender, until otherwise directed in writing by Lender.

(h)           Enter, with or without process of law, and without further permission of Borrower, upon any premises where the Collateral is or believed by Lender to be located, using all necessary force to accomplish the same without committing a breach of the peace (Borrower hereby waiving all claims for damages or otherwise due to, arising from or connected with such entry and/or seizure), and:  (i) take possession of said premises and of the Collateral located therein; (ii) place a custodian in exclusive control of said premises and of any of the Collateral located therein; (iii) remove from the premises the Collateral (and any of Borrower’s Books, materials and supplies) in any way relating to the Collateral or useful by Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder; (iv) remain upon said premises and use the same (together with said Borrower’s Books, materials and supplies) for the purpose of collecting the Collateral and/or preparing the Collateral for disposition and/or disposing of the Collateral;

- 20 -

election, and no waiver by Lender of any default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence by it.

12.           Taxes and Expenses Regarding Borrower’s Property.

12.1.           If Borrower fails to pay any assessments, taxes, contributions, or make any deposits, or furnish any required proof thereof as set forth in Section 7(j) hereof or in any other provision of this Agreement, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without notice to Borrower:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, or (b) set up such reserves in Borrower’s account as Lender deems necessary to satisfy the liability therefor, or both.  If Borrower fails to promptly pay when due to any other Person, any sum which Borrower is required to pay by reason of any provision in this Agreement, Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any sums which it deems appropriate for the protection or preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the amount so advanced by Lender shall bear interest at the rate provided for in Section 2.9 above, and shall constitute Lender’s Costs, payable on demand, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payment made by Lender shall not constitute:  (a) an agreement by it to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by Lender of any default under this Agreement.  Lender need not contest nor inquire as to the validity of any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien, and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

13.           Waivers By Borrower.

17.1.           The parties intend and agree that their respective rights, duties, powers, liabilities, obligations and discretions shall be performed, carried out, discharged and exercised reasonably and in good faith.

17.2.           If at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation:  (a) with respect to any of the Collateral or this Agreement; (b) to represent Lender in any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend, or intervene or to take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether instituted by Lender,

- 22 -

Borrower or any other party) in any way relating to any of the Collateral, this Agreement or Borrower’s affairs; (c) to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of or liquidate any of the Collateral; (d) to attempt to enforce any security interest of Lender in any of the Collateral; or (e) to enforce any rights of Lender against Borrower or against any other Person which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement including Borrower’s account debtors, then, in any of the foregoing events, all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services and all expenses, costs and charges in any way arising in connection therewith or relating thereto shall constitute a part of Lender’s Costs secured by the Collateral and be payable on demand.

17.3.           Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise; on the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.  When permitted by the context, the singular includes the plural and vice versa.

17.4.           With respect to procedural matters related to the perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Collateral, this Agreement shall be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the state where the Collateral, or the portion of it against which enforcement is sought, is located without regard to that state’s conflicts of law provisions.  In all other respects, this Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  However, if there ever is a question about whether any provision of this Agreement is valid or enforceable, the provision that is questioned will be governed by whichever state or federal law would find the provision to be valid and enforceable.

17.5.           In any litigation involving Lender and Borrower, Borrower does hereby irrevocably submit itself to the process, jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, Arizona, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, the courts of the State of California, County of San Diego, or the United States District Court for the Central or Southern District of California, as Lender may elect, for the purposes of suit, action or other proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding any claim that Borrower is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

17.6.           The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separate from each other.  If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision hereof and that this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

17.7.           Article and Section headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only; unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.8.           This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations, if any, are merged into this Agreement.

- 23 -

17.9.           Lender shall have the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower to grant participation interests in the Credit Facility and in this regard may provide the participant with any and all information with respect to Borrower and the Credit Facility.  In addition, Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder at any time, without the consent of or notice to Borrower.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns.  Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder, without Lender’s prior written consent and any such assignment shall be void and of no effect whatsoever.  No consent to any assignment by Lender shall, without the written consent of Lender, release Borrower of its Obligations to Lender.

17.10.           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lender and any successors or assigns of Lender, including any participant in the Credit Facility.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender and shall bind all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void.  No consent to any assignment by Lender shall release Borrower of its Obligations to Lender.  Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder, and if an assignment is made, Borrower shall render performance under this Agreement to the assignee.  Borrower waives and will not assert against any assignee of Lender any claims, defenses (except defenses which cannot be waived) or set-offs which Borrower could assert against Lender.

17.11.           This Agreement has been considered, approved and made in the State of California, and it and all other documents shall become effective only when accepted by Lender in the State of California.

18.           Rules of Construction.

18.1.           No reference to “proceeds” in this Security Agreement authorizes any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Collateral by the Borrower.

18.2.           “Includes” and “including” are not limiting.

18.3.           “Or” is not exclusive.

18.4.           “All” includes “any” and “any” includes “all.”
