EQUIPMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT
EFA #200251
THIS EQUIPMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT ("agreement") is dated as of the date set
forth at the foot hereof and is between Pentech Financial Services, Inc., a
California corporation ("Secured Party") and the debtor designated at the foot
hereof ("Debtor").
1. EQUIPMENT; SECURITY INTEREST. The terms and conditions of this agreement
cover each item of machinery, equipment and other property (individually an
"Item" or "Item of Equipment" and collectively the "Equipment") described in a
schedule now or hereafter executed by the parties hereto and made a part hereof
(individually a "Schedule" and collectively the "Schedules"). Debtor hereby
grants Secured Party a security interest in and to all Debtor's right, title
and interest in and to the Equipment under the Uniform Commercial Code, such
grant with respect to an Item of Equipment to be as of Debtor's execution of a
related equipment financing commitment referencing this agreement or, if Debtor
then has no interest in such Item, as of such subsequent time as Debtor acquires
an interest in the Item. Such security interest is granted by Debtor to secure
performance by Debtor of Debtor's obligations to Secured Party hereunder and
under any other agreements under which Debtor has or may hereafter have
obligations to Secured Party. Debtor will ensure that such security interest
will be and remain a sole and valid first lien security interest subject only to
the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default but only if such taxes
are entitled to priority as a matter of law.
2. DEBTOR'S OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of Debtor under this agreement
respecting an Item of Equipment, except the obligation to pay installment
payments with respect thereto which will commence as set forth in paragraph 3
below, commence upon the grant to Secured Party of a security interest in the
Item. Debtor's obligations hereunder with respect to an Item of Equipment and
Secured Party's security interest therein will continue until payment of all
amounts due, and performance of all terms and conditions required, hereunder
with respect thereto; provided, however, that if this agreement is then in
default said obligations and security interest will continue during the
continuance of said default. Upon termination of Secured Party's security
interest in an Item of Equipment, Secured Party will execute such release of
interest with respect thereto as Debtor reasonably requests
3. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS. Debtor will repay advances Secured
Party makes on account of the Equipment together with interest in installment
payments in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Schedules, whether or
not Secured Party has rendered an invoice therefor, at the office of Secured
Party set forth at the foot hereof, or to such person and/or at such other place
as Secured Party may from time to time designate on notice to Debtor. Any other
amounts required to be paid Secured Party by Debtor hereunder are due upon
Debtor's receipt of Secured Party's invoice therefor and will be payable as
directed in the invoice. Payments under this agreement may be applied to
Debtor's then accrued obligations to Secured Party in such order as Secured
Party may choose.
4. NET AGREEMENT; NO OFFSET; SURVIVAL. This agreement is a net agreement, and
Debtor will not be entitled to any abatement of installment payments or other
payments due hereunder or any reduction thereof under any circumstances or for
any reason whatsoever. Debtor hereby waives any and all existing and future
claims, as offsets, against any installment payments or other payments due
hereunder and agrees to pay the installment payments and other amounts due
hereunder as and when due regardless of any offset or claim which may be
asserted by Debtor or on its behalf. The obligations and liabilities of Debtor
hereunder will survive the termination of this agreement.
5. FINANCING AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY A FINANCING AGREEMENT. DEBTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT HAS OR WILL HAVE BEEN SELECTED AND ACQUIRED
SOLELY BY DEBTOR FOR DEBTOR'S PURPOSES, THAT SECURED PARTY IS NOT AND WILL NOT
BE THE VENDOR OF ANY EQUIPMENT AND THAT SECURED PARTY HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT
MAKE ANY AGREEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALIFICATION OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
VALUE OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT THERETO IN ANY RESPECT
WHATSOEVER.
6. NO AGENCY. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER OR OTHER
SUPPLIER OF AN ITEM OF EQUIPMENT OR OF ANY FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS AN AGENT OF SECURED PARTY. SECURED PARTY IS NOT BOUND BY
A REPRESENTATION OF ANY SUCH PARTY AND AS CONTEMPLATED IN PARAGRAPH 27 BELOW,
THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR CONCERNING THE FINANCING OF THE
EQUIPMENT IS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AS IT MAY BE AMENDED AS PROVIDED IN
THAT PARAGRAPH.
7. ACCEPTANCE. Execution by Debtor and Secured Party of a Schedule covering the
Equipment or any Items thereof will conclusively establish that such Equipment
has been included under and will be subject to all the terms and conditions of
this agreement. If Debtor has not furnished Secured Party with a Schedule by the
earlier of fourteen (14) days after receipt thereof or expiration of the
commitment period act forth in the applicable equipment financing commitment,
Secured Party may terminate its obligation to advance funds as to the applicable
Equipment.
8. LOCATION; INSPECTION; USE. Debtor will keep, or in the case of motor
vehicles, permanently garage and not remove from the United States, as
appropriate, each Item of Equipment in Debtor's possession and control at the
Equipment Location designated in the applicable Schedule, or at such other
location to which such Item of Equipment may have been moved with the prior
written consent of Secured Party. Whenever requested by Secured Party, Debtor
will advise Secured Party as to the exact location of an Item of Equipment.
Secured Party will have the right to inspect the Equipment and observe its use
during normal business hours and to enter into and upon the premises where the
Equipment may be located for such purpose. The Equipment will at all times be
used solely for commercial or business purposes and operated in a careful and
proper manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations, all conditions and requirements of the policy or policies of
insurance required to be carried by Debtor under the terms of this agreement and
all manufacturer's instructions and warranty requirements. Any modifications or
additions to the Equipment required by any such governmental edict or insurance
policy will be promptly made by Debtor.
9. ALTERATIONS; SECURITY INTEREST COVERAGE. Without the prior written consent of
Secured Party, Debtor will not make any alterations, additions or improvements
to any Item of Equipment which detract from its economic value or functional
utility, except as may be required pursuant to paragraph 8 above. Secured
Party's security interest in the Equipment will include all modifications and
additions thereto and replacements and substitutions therefor, in whole or in
part. Such reference to replacements and substitutions will not grant Debtor
greater rights to replace or substitute than are provided in paragraph 11 below
or as may be allowed upon the prior written consent of Secured Party.
10. MAINTENANCE. Debtor will maintain the Equipment in good repair, condition
and working order. Debtor also will cause each Item of Equipment for which a
service contract is generally available to be covered by such a contract which
provides coverages typical as to property of the type involved and is issued by
a competent servicing entity.
11. LOSS AND DAMAGE; CASUALTY VALUE. In the event of the loss of, theft of,
requisition of, damage to or destruction of an Item of Equipment ("Casualty
Occurrence") Debtor will give Secured Party prompt notice thereof and will
thereafter place such Item in good repair, condition and working order;
provided, however, that if such Item is determined by Secured Party to be lost,
stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, is requisitioned or suffers a
constructive total loss as defined in any applicable insurance policy carried by
Debtor in accordance with paragraph 14 below, Debtor, at Secured Party's option,
will (a) replace the Item with like equipment in good repair, condition and
working order whereupon such replacement equipment will be deemed such Item for
all purposes hereof or (b) pay Secured Party the "Casualty Value" of such Item
which will equal the total of (i) all installment payments and other amounts due
with respect to such item from Debtor to Secured Party at the time of such
payment and (ii) each future installment payment due with respect to such Item
with each such payment other than any final uneven payment discounted at eight
percent (8%) per annum simple interest from the date due to the date of such
payment. Any final uneven payment will be due without discount. The discounting
contemplated in this paragraph will be in accordance with the Financial Compound
Interest and Annuity Tables, Sixth Edition published by the Financial Publishing
Company. Upon such replacement or payment, as appropriate, this agreement and
Secured Party's security interest will terminate with, and only with, respect to
the Item of Equipment so replaced or as to which such payment is made in
accordance with paragraph 2 above.
12. TITLING; REGISTRATION. Each Item of Equipment subject to title registration
laws will at all times be titled and/or registered by Debtor as Secured Party's
agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to register (but
without power to affect title to) the Equipment in such manner and in such
jurisdiction or jurisdictions as Secured Party directs. Debtor will promptly
notify Secured Party of any necessary or advisable retitling and/or
reregistration of an Item of Equipment in a jurisdiction other than one in which
such Item is then titled and/or registered. Any and all documents of title will
be furnished or caused to be furnished Secured Party by Debtor within sixty (60)
days of the date any titling or registering or retitling or reregistering, as
appropriate, is directed by Secured Party.
13. TAXES. Debtor will make all filings as to and pay when due all personal
property and other ad valorem taxes and all other taxes, fees, charges and
assessments based on the ownership or use of the Equipment and will pay as
directed by Secured Party or reimburse Secured Party for all taxes, including,
but not limited to, gross receipts taxes (exclusive of federal and state taxes
based on Secured Party's net income, unless such net income taxes are in
substitution for or relieve Debtor from any taxes which Debtor would otherwise
be obligated to pay under the terms of this paragraph 13), fees, charges and
assessments whatsoever, however designated, whether based on the installment
payments or other amounts due hereunder, levied, assessed or imposed upon the
Equipment or otherwise related hereto or to the Equipment, now or hereafter
levied, assessed or imposed under the authority of a federal, state or local
taxing jurisdiction, regardless of when and by whom payable. Filings with
respect to such other amounts will, at Secured Party's option, be made by
Secured Party or by Debtor as directed by Secured Party.
14. INSURANCE. Debtor will procure and continuously maintain all risk insurance
against loss of or damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever for not
less than the full replacement value thereof naming Secured Party as Loss Payee.
Such insurance must be in a form and with companies approved by Secured Party,
must provide at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Secured Party
of cancellation, change or modification in any term, condition or amount of
protection provided therein, must provide full breach of warranty protection and
must provide that the coverage is "primary coverage" (does not require
contribution from any other applicable coverage). Debtor will provide Secured
Party with an original policy or certificate evidencing such insurance. In the
event of an assignment of this agreement by Secured Party of which Debtor has
notice, Debtor will cause such insurance to provide the same protection to the
assignee as its interest may appear. The proceeds of such insurance, at the
option of Secured Party or such assignee, as appropriate, will be applied toward
(a) the repair or replacement of the appropriate Item or Items of Equipment, (b)
payment of the Casualty Value thereof or (c) payment of, or as provision for,
satisfaction of any other accrued obligations of Debtor hereunder. Debtor hereby
appoints Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority to do all things, including, but not limited to, making claims,
receiving payments and endorsing documents, checks or drafts, necessary to
secure payments due under any policy contemplated hereby on account of a
Casualty Occurrence. Debtor and Secured Party contemplate that the jurisdictions
where the Equipment will be located will not impose any liability upon Secured
Party for personal injury and/or property damage resulting out of the
possession, use, operation or condition of the Equipment. In the event Secured
Party determines that such is not or may not be the case with respect to a given
jurisdiction, Debtor will provide Secured Party with public liability and
property damage coverage applicable to the Equipment in such amounts and in such
form as Secured Party requires.
15. SECURED PARTY'S PAYMENT. If Debtor fails to pay any amounts due hereunder or
to perform any of its other obligations under this agreement, Secured Party may,
at its option, but without any obligation to do so, pay such amounts or perform
such obligations, and Debtor will reimburse Secured Party the amount of such
payment or cost of such performance.
16. INDEMNITY. Debtor does hereby assume liability for and does agree to
indemnify, defend, protect, save and keep harmless Secured Party from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including court costs and legal
expenses, of whatever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Secured Party (whether or not also indemnified against by any other
person) in any way relating to or arising out of this agreement or the
manufacture, financing, ownership, delivery, possession, use, operation,
condition or disposition of the Equipment by Secured Party or Debtor, including,
without limitation, any claim alleging latent and other defects, whether or not
discoverable by Secured Party or Debtor, and any other claim arising out of
strict liability in tort, whether or not in either instance relating to an event
occurring while Debtor remains obligated under this agreement, and any claim for
patent, trademark or copyright infringement. Debtor agrees to give Secured Party
and Secured Party agrees to give Debtor notice of any claim or liability hereby
indemnified against promptly following learning thereof.
17. DEFAULT. Any of the following will constitute an event of default here
under: (a) Debtor's failure to pay when due any installment payment or other
amount due hereunder, which failure continues for ten (10) days after the due
date thereof; (b) Debtor's default in performing any other obligation, term or
condition of this agreement or any other agreement between Debtor and Secured
Party or default under any further agreement providing security for the

hereinbelow, default under any lease or any mortgage or other instrument
contemplating the provision of financial accommodation applicable to the real
estate where an Item of Equipment is located; (c) any writ or order of
attachment or execution or other legal process being levied on or charged
against any Item of Equipment and not being released or satisfied within ten
(10) days; (d) Debtor's failure to comply with its obligations under paragraph
14 above or any transfer by Debtor in violation of paragraph 21 below; (e) a
non-appealable judgement for the payment of money in excess of $100,000 being
rendered by a court of record against Debtor which Debtor does not discharge or
make provision for discharge in accordance with the terms thereof within ninety
(90) days from the date of entry thereof; (1) death or judicial declaration of
incompetency of Debtor, if an individual; (g) the filing by Debtor of a petition
under the Bankruptcy Act or any amendment thereto or under any other insolvency
law or law providing for the relief of debtors, including, without limitation, a
petition for reorganization, arrangement or extension, or the commission by
Debtor of an act of bankruptcy; (h) the filing against Debtor of any such
petition not dismissed or permanently stayed within thirty (30) days of the
filing thereof; (i) the voluntary or involuntary making of an assignment of
substantial portion of its assets by Debtor for the benefit of creditors,

for dissolution, liquidation, settlement of claims against or winding up of the
affairs of Debtor, Debtor's cessation of business activities or the making by
Debtor of a transfer of all or a material portion of Debtor's assets or
inventory not in the ordinary course of business; 6) the occurrence of any event

hereafter furnished with respect hereto by or on behalf of Debtor or any

substantial contingent or unliquidated liability or claim against Debtor or any
such guarantor or other party; (l) breach by Debtor of any lease or agreement
providing financial accommodation under which Debtor or its property is bound or
(m) a transfer of effective control of Debtor, if an organization.
18. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Secured Party will
have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party, and Debtor
will have the rights and duties of a debtor, under the Uniform Commercial Code
(regardless of whether such Code or a law similar thereto has been enacted in a
jurisdiction wherein the rights or remedies are asserted) and, without limiting
the foregoing, Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following
remedies: (a) declare the Casualty Value or such lesser amount as may be set by
law immediately due and payable with respect to any or all Items of Equipment
without notice or demand to Debtor; (b) xxx from time to time for and recover
all installment payments and other payments then accrued and which accrue during
the pendency of such action with respect to any or all Items of Equipment; (c)
take possession of and, if deemed appropriate, render unusable any or all Items
of Equipment, without demand or notice, wherever same may be located, without
any court order or other process of law and without liability for any damages
occasioned by such taking of possession and remove, keep and store the same or
use and operate or lease the same until sold; (d) require Debtor to assemble any
or all Items of Equipment at the Equipment Location therefor, such location to
which such Equipment may have been moved with the written consent of Secured
Party or such other location in reasonable proximity to either of the foregoing
as Secured Party designates; (e) upon ten days notice to Debtor or such other
notice as may be required by law, sell or otherwise dispose of any Item of
Equipment, whether or not in Secured Party's possession, in a commercially
reasonable manner at public or private sale at any place deemed appropriate and
apply the net proceeds of such sale, after deducting all costs of such sale,
including, but not limited to, costs of transportation, repossession, storage,
refurbishing, advertising and broker's fees, to the obligations of Debtor to
Secured Party hereunder or otherwise, with Debtor remaining liable for any
deficiency and with any excess being returned to Debtor; (f) upon thirty (30)
days notice to Debtor, retain any repossessed or assembled Items of Equipment as
Secured Party's own property in full satisfaction of Debtor's liability for the
installment payments due hereunder with respect thereto, provided that Debtor
will have the right to redeem such Items by payment in full of its obligations
to Secured Party hereunder or otherwise or to require Secured Party to sell or
otherwise dispose of such Items in the manner set forth in subparagraph (e)
hereinabove upon notice to Secured Party within such thirty (30) day period or
(g) utilize any other remedy available to Secured Party under the Uniform
Commercial Code or similar provision of law or otherwise at law or in equity.
No right or remedy conferred herein is exclusive of any other right or remedy
conferred herein or by law, but all such remedies are cumulative of every other
right or remedy conferred hereunder or at law or in equity, by statute or
otherwise, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time.
Any sale contemplated by subparagraph (e) of this paragraph 18 may be adjourned
from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale,
or for any such adjourned sale, without further published notice, and Secured
Party may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale. Any sale of an Item of
Equipment, whether under said subparagraph or by virtue of judicial proceedings,
will operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
either at law or in equity, of Debtor in and to said Item and will be a
perpetual bar to any claim against such Item, both at law and in equity, against
Debtor and all persons claiming by, through or under Debtor.
19. DISCONTINUANCE OF REMEDIES. If Secured Party proceeds to enforce any right
under this agreement and such proceedings are discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or are determined adversely, then and in every such case Debtor and
Secured Party will be restored to their former positions and rights thereunder.
20. SECURED PARTY'S EXPENSES. Debtor will pay Secured Party all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs and sales costs
not offset against sales proceeds under paragraph 18 above, incurred by Secured
Party in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder or enforcing any of
the terms, conditions or provisions hereof. This obligation includes the payment
or reimbursement of all such amounts whether an action is ultimately filed and
whether an action filed is ultimately dismissed.
21. ASSIGNMENT. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will
not sell, lease, pledge or hypothecate, except as provided in this agreement, an
Item of Equipment or any interest therein or assign, transfer, pledge or
hypothecate this agreement or any interest in this agreement or permit the
Equipment to be subject to any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature except
the security interest of Secured Party contemplated hereby. Debtor's interest
herein is not assignable and will not be assigned or transferred by operation of
law. Consent to any of the foregoing prohibited acts applies only in the given
instance and is not a consent to any subsequent like act by Debtor or any
person.
All rights of Secured Party hereunder may be assigned pledged, mortgaged,
transferred or otherwise disposed of, either in whole or in part, without notice
to Debtor but always, however, subject to the rights of Debtor under this
agreement. If Debtor is given notice of any such assignment, Debtor will
acknowledge receipt thereof in writing. In the event Secured Party assigns this
agreement or the installment payments due or to become due hereunder or any
other interest herein, whether as security for any of its indebtedness or
otherwise, no breach or default by Secured Party hereunder or pursuant to any
other agreement between Secured Party and Debtor, should there be one, will
excuse performance by Debtor of any provision hereof, it being understood that
in the event of such default or breach by Secured Party that Debtor will pursue
any rights on account thereof solely against Secured Party. No such assignee,
unless such assignee agrees in writing, will be obligated to perform any duty,
covenant or condition required to be performed by Secured Party in connection
with this agreement.
Subject always to the foregoing, this agreement insures to the benefit of, and
is binding upon, the heirs, legatees, personal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.
22. MARKINGS; PERSONAL PROPERTY. If Secured Party supplies Debtor with labels,
plates, decals or other markings stating that Secured Party has an interest in
the Equipment, Debtor will affix and keep the same prominently displayed on the
Equipment or will otherwise make the Equipment or its then location or
locations, as appropriate, at Secured Party's request to indicate Secured
Party's security interest in the Equipment. The Equipment is, and at all times
will remain, personal property notwithstanding that the Equipment or any Item
thereof may now be, or hereafter become, in any manner affixed or attached to,
or embedded in, or permanently resting upon real property or any improvement
thereof or attached in any manner to what is permanent as by means of cement,
plaster, nails, bolts, screws or otherwise. If requested by Secured Party,
Debtor will obtain
and deliver to Secured Party waivers of interest or liens in recordable form
satisfactory to Secured Party from all persons claiming any interest in the real
property on which an Item of Equipment is or is to be installed or located.
23. LATE CHARGE. If Debtor fails to pay any installment payment or any other sum
to be paid by Debtor to Secured Party within seven (7) days of when due, Debtor
will pay to Secured Party (a) Secured Party's collection costs paid third
parties relevant to the collection thereof and (b) interest of such unpaid
installment or other amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or
at such greater or lesser contract rate as may be applicable, computed from the
date due to the date paid.
24. NON-WAIVER. No covenant or condition of this agreement can be waived except
by the written consent of Secured Party. Forbearance or indulgence by Secured
Party in regard to any breach hereunder will not constitute a waiver of the
related covenant or condition to be performed by Debtor.
25. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. In connection with and in order to perfect and
evidence the security interest in the Equipment granted Secured Party hereunder
Debtor will execute and deliver to Secured Party such financing statements and
similar documents as Secured Party requests. Debtor authorizes Secured Party
where permitted by law to make filings of such financing statements without
Debtor's signature. Debtor further will furnish Secured Party (a) a fiscal year
end financial statement including balance sheet and profit and loss statement
within ninety (90) days of the close of each fiscal year, (b) any other

acknowledge, have acknowledged, deliver to Secured Party, record and file such
other documents and showings as Secured Party deems necessary or desirable to
protect its interest in and rights under this agreement and interest in the
Equipment. Debtor will pay as directed by Secured Party or reimburse Secured
Party for all filing, search, title report, legal and other fees incurred by
Secured Party in connection with any documents to be provided by Debtor pursuant
to this paragraph or paragraph 22 and any further similar documents Secured
Party may procure.
26. DEBTOR'S WARRANTIES. Debtor certifies and warrants that the financial data
and other information which Debtor has submitted, or will submit, to Secured
Party in connection with this agreement is, or will be at time of delivery, as
appropriate, a true and complete statement of the matters therein contained.
Debtor further certifies and warrants that (a) this agreement has been duly

contract and agreement of Debtor enforceable against Debtor in accordance with
its respective terms; (b) this agreement and each and every showing provided by

Party in accordance with the terms thereof notwithstanding the failure of Debtor

power and authority to grant a security interest in the Equipment to Secured
Party for the uses and purposes herein set forth and (d) each Item of Equipment
