Subject to Section 5.2, Borrower warrants and represents that the. security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.
Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license (other than over the counter software that is commercially available to the public) or other material agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower's interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall provide written notice to Bank within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower's business or financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, authorization by or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future.
If Borrower shall, at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.
4.2. Termination by Borrower.
Borrower may terminate this Agreement by sending written notice to Bank and paying in full all Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies the Obligations.

4.3. Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file UCC financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.
5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants to Bank as follows:
5.1. Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower, and each Subsidiary, is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower delivered to Bank a perfection certificate signed by Borrower (the "Perfection Certificate"). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that: (a) Borrower's exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) Borrower is an organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower's organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower's place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower's mailing address if different, and (e) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower is accurate and complete. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify Bank of such organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational documents, nor shall they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.2. Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit account, other than the deposit accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing by Borrower, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.3. Litigation. Except as shown in the Perfection Certificate, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause, a Material Adverse Change.
5.4. No Material Deterioration 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. There has not been
4
any material deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.5. Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts), as they mature.
5.6. Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted except where the failure to obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.7. Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8. Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Bank, and, if requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests 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;

10
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) Place a "hold" on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; and
(h) Exercise all rights and remedies and dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact 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 until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank's foregoing 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. Bank Expenses. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein shall constitute Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereunder and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4. Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral and Section 9-207 of the Code, Bank shall not be liable or responsible 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 bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.5. 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 hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.6. 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.
