BACKGROUND
The Companies have requested that Laurus make advances available to the Companies; and
Laurus has agreed to make such advances on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings and the terms and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. General Definitions and Terms; Rules of Construction.
(a) General Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the

with GAAP consistently applied.
(c) Other Terms. All other terms used in this Agreement and defined in the UCC, shall
have the meaning given therein unless otherwise defined herein.
(d) Rules of Construction. All Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits hereto or
expressly identified to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and taken together with
this Agreement constitute but a single agreement. The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” or
other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits, Addenda,
Annexes and Schedules thereto, as the same may be from time to time amended, modified, restated or
supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement.
Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural
shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter
gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. The term “or” is not exclusive,
unless the context requires otherwise. The term “including” (or any form thereof) shall not be
limiting or exclusive. All references to statutes and related regulations shall include any
amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations. All references in this Agreement or

Agreements shall include any and all modifications or amendments thereto and any and all extensions

the due date shall be extended automatically to the next Business Day following the original due
date.
2. Loan Facility.
(a) Loans.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements,
Laurus may make loans (the “Loans”) to the Companies from time to time during the Term
which, in the aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Capital
Availability Amount and (y) an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability minus (II) such
reserves as Laurus may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to
time and of which Laurus gives the Companies five (5) Business Days prior written notice (provided,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such prior notice shall be required) (the
“Reserves”). The lesser of the amounts derived at any time pursuant to clauses (x) and (y)
of the preceding sentence shall be referred to as the “Formula Amount.” The Companies
shall, jointly and severally, execute and deliver to Laurus on the Closing Date the Note. The
Companies hereby each acknowledge and agree that Laurus’ obligation to purchase the Note from the
Companies on the Closing Date shall be contingent upon the satisfaction (or waiver by Laurus in its
sole discretion) of the items and matters set forth in the closing checklist provided by Laurus to
the Companies on or prior to the Closing Date. The Companies hereby each further acknowledge and
agree that, immediately prior to each borrowing hereunder and immediately after giving effect
thereto, the Companies shall be deemed to have certified to Laurus that at the time of each such
proposed borrowing and also after giving effect thereto (i) there shall exist no Event of Default,
(ii) all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Companies in connection with this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are true, correct and complete and (iii) all of each
Company’s and its respective Subsidiaries’ covenant requirements under this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements have been met. The Companies hereby agree to provide a certificate confirming
the foregoing concurrently with each request for a borrowing hereunder.
(ii) The Companies acknowledge that Laurus must exercise reasonable discretion in all matters
which may increase or decrease the advance percentages used in determining Accounts Availability,
based either on the Companies’ past performance, or on its reasonable business prospects, and each
of the Companies hereby consent to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict
advances requested by the Companies.
(iii) If any interest, fees, costs or charges payable to Laurus hereunder are not paid when
due, each of the Companies shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby
authorized at its discretion to make and charge to the Companies’ account, a Loan as of such date
in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges.
(iv) Reserved.
(v) Laurus will account to Company Agent monthly with a statement of all Loans and other
advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Laurus
shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is notified by
- 2 -
Company Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was
rendered specifying the item or items to which objection is made.
(vi) During the Term, the Companies may borrow and prepay Loans in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof.
(vii) If any Eligible Account is not paid by the Account Debtor within ninety (90) days after
the date that such Eligible Account was invoiced (a “Delinquent Account”), then, within
three (3) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, (A) the Company Agent shall deliver to
Laurus a certification as to each Company’s Eligible Accounts prepared on a pro forma basis giving
effect to such Delinquent Account and setting forth the Formula Amount on such Business Day and (B)
if the outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Formula Amount as reflected in such
pro forma certificate, the Companies shall jointly and severally immediately repay Loans in an
amount equal to such excess.
3. Repayment of the Loans. The Companies (a) may prepay the Obligations from time to
time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note; (b) shall jointly and severally repay
on the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans
together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges and; (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus
under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; and (c) shall jointly and severally repay on any
day on which the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans are in excess of the
Formula Amount at such time, Loans in an amount equal to such excess. Any payments of principal,
interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall be
made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds.
4. Procedure for Loans. Company Agent may by written notice request a borrowing of
Loans prior to 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on such
Business Day, a Loan. Together with each request for a Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus
may request), Company Agent shall deliver to Laurus a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto, which shall be certified as true and correct by the Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Treasurer of Company Agent
together with all supporting documentation relating thereto. All Loans shall be disbursed from
whichever office or other place Laurus may designate from time to time and shall be charged to the
Companies’ account on Laurus’ books. The proceeds of each Loan made by Laurus shall be made
available to Company Agent on the Business Day following the Business Day so requested in
accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to the applicable Company’s operating
account maintained with such bank as Company Agent designated to Laurus. Any and all Obligations
due and owing hereunder may be charged to the Companies’ account and shall constitute Loans.
5. Interest and Payments.
(a) Interest.
(i) Except as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, the Companies shall jointly and severally
pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan until such time as
such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America.
- 3 -
(ii) Interest and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of
360 days. At Laurus’ option, Laurus may charge the Companies’ account for said interest.
(iii) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of
Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall automatically be increased as set forth in the
Note (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including
unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the
Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.
(iv) In no event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder or under the Note exceed the
maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the
“Maximum Legal Rate”), and if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is
in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each
Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest
will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate).
(v) The Companies shall jointly and severally pay principal, interest and all other amounts
payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including
any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.
(b) Payment; Certain Closing Conditions.
(i) Payment. Upon execution of this Agreement by each Company and Laurus, the
Companies shall jointly and severally pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC, the investment advisor
of Laurus (“LCM”), a non-refundable payment in an amount equal to three and one-half percent
(3.50%) of the Capital Availability Amount. The foregoing payment is referred to herein as the
“LCM Payment.” Such payment shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be
subject to rebate or proration for any reason.
(ii) Overadvance Payment. Without affecting Laurus’ rights hereunder in the event the
Loans exceed the Formula Amount (each such event, an “Overadvance”), all such Overadvances
shall bear additional interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per month of the amount of such
Overadvances for all times such amounts shall be in excess of the Formula Amount. All amounts that
are incurred pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) shall be due and payable by the Companies monthly,
in arrears, on the first business day of each calendar month and upon expiration of the Term.
(iii) Expenses. The Companies shall jointly and severally reimburse Laurus for its
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses and expenses of Laurus’ due diligence review
of each Company) incurred in connection with the Transactions, including, without limitation, the
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Companies have
previously made a non-refundable deposit of $25,000 to Laurus and such amount shall be credited
against the expenses referred to this Section 5(b)(iii). Such expense reimbursement shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, due diligence fees of $30,000, which the Companies shall jointly
and severally pay to Laurus in connection with the Transactions. The Companies shall also jointly
and severally pay to Laurus a structuring fee of $50,000. Amounts required to be paid under this
Section 5(b)(iii), including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses of Laurus incurred in
connection with the Transactions, will be paid on the Closing Date.
- 4 -
(iv) Financial Information Default. Without affecting Laurus’ other rights and
remedies, in the event any Company fails to deliver the financial information required by Section
11 on or before the date required by this Agreement, the Companies shall jointly and severally pay
Laurus an aggregate fee in the amount of $500.00 per week (or portion thereof) for each such
failure until such failure is cured to Laurus’ satisfaction or waived in writing by Laurus. All
amounts that are incurred pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iv) shall be due and payable by the
Companies monthly, in arrears, on the first business of each calendar month and upon expiration of
the Term.
6. Security Interest.
(a) To secure the prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, in addition to and not in lieu
of the Aircraft Security Documents, each Company hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Laurus a
continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral. All of each Company’s Books
and Records relating to the Collateral shall, until delivered to or removed by Laurus, be kept by
such Company in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have been paid in full. Each confirmatory
assignment schedule or other form of assignment hereafter executed by each Company shall be deemed
to include the foregoing grant, whether or not the same appears therein.
(b) In addition to the rights of Laurus under the Aircraft Security Documents, each Company
hereby (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing statements, continuation statements or
amendments thereto that (x) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets and personal property of such
Company or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the
Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of
an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (y) contain any other information required by
Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing
statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Laurus to
have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof. Each Company acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior
written consent of Laurus and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of
Laurus, subject to such Company’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
(c) Each Company hereby grants to Laurus an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable
upon the termination of this Agreement due to an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Company) to use, transfer,
license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by
such Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all
media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and
automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and
represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in
conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license
will terminate on the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations.
7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Collateral. In addition
to, and not in lieu of, any representations, warranties and covenants made by any Company in the
Ancillary Documents, including, without limitation, the Aircraft Security Documents, each Company
represents, warrants (each of which such representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated
upon the making of each request for a Loan and made as of the time of each and every Loan
hereunder) and covenants with Laurus that:

Lien.
(b) it shall not encumber, mortgage, pledge, assign or grant any Lien in any Collateral or any
other assets to anyone other than Laurus and except for Permitted Liens.
(c) the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon due completion of all necessary actions

accordance with the terms hereof against any and all of its creditors and purchasers and such
security interest is prior to all other Liens in existence on the date hereof.

security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is

8. Payment of Accounts.
(a) Each Company will irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to
the lockboxes maintained by such Company (the “Lockboxes”) with PNC Bank, National
Association or such other financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be
- 8 -
selected by such Company (the “Lockbox Bank”) pursuant to the terms of the certain
agreements among one or more Companies, Laurus and/or the Lockbox Bank dated as of March 28, 2007.
On or prior to the Closing Date, each Company shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into
all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank
agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and deposit all checks received therein to an
account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply only with the instructions or other
directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of each Company’s invoices, account statements
and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of
any Account of any Company or any other amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct
that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing.
If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, any Company receives any payments, such
Company shall immediately remit such payments to Laurus in their original form with all necessary
endorsements. Until so remitted, such Company shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the
property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property.
(b) At Laurus’ election, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing,
Laurus may notify each Company’s Account Debtors of Laurus’ security interest in the Accounts,
collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses thereof to each Company’s and
the Eligible Subsidiaries’ joint and several account.
9. Collection and Maintenance of Collateral.
(a) Upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice (provided, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing no such prior notice shall be required), Laurus may verify each
Company’s Accounts from time to time, but not more often than once every three (3) months, unless
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Laurus believes that such verification is
necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral, utilizing an audit control company or any other
agent of Laurus.
(b) Proceeds of Accounts received by Laurus will be deemed received on the Business Day after
Laurus’ receipt of such proceeds in good funds in dollars of the United States of America to an
account designated by Laurus. Any amount received by Laurus after 12:00 noon (New York time) on
any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(c) As Laurus receives the proceeds of Accounts of any Company, it shall (i) apply such
proceeds, as required, to amounts outstanding under the Note, and (ii) remit all such remaining
proceeds (net of interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to Laurus hereunder) to
Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) upon request. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus, at
its option, may (a) apply such proceeds to the Obligations in such order as Laurus shall elect, (b)
hold all such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations and each Company hereby grants to
Laurus a security interest in such cash collateral amounts as security for the Obligations and/or
(c) do any combination of the foregoing.
10. Inspections and Appraisals. At all times during normal business hours, and upon
reasonable prior notice, Laurus, and/or any agent of Laurus shall have the right to (a) have access
to, visit, inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verification and appraisals of each
Company’s properties and the Collateral, (b) inspect, audit and copy (or take originals if
necessary) and make extracts from each Company’s Books and Records, including management letters
prepared
- 9 -

liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving
the same Person (including Persons it or any of its applicable Subsidiaries has reason to believe
are affiliated therewith or with any Subsidiary thereof) shall be aggregated for the purpose of
meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections.
(iv) The Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (the
“Disclosure Controls”) (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Parent,
including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the Parent’s principal executive officer and its
principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in
which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. Based on the
Parent’s evaluation of internal controls as of the end of the period covered by the Parent’s most
recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Time”), such Disclosure Controls were
effective at the Evaluation Time in timely alerting the Parent’s principal executive officer and
principal financial officer to material information required to be included in the Parent’s
periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. No event, circumstance or event has occurred
since the Evaluation Time that would cause the Parent to believe that the Parent’s Disclosure
Controls are not currently effective in any material respect.
(v) The Parent makes and keeps books, records, and accounts that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of its assets. It maintains
internal control over financial reporting (“Financial Reporting Controls”) designed by, or
under the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by
its board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with GAAP, including those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of its assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that its receipts and expenditures
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of its assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
- 14 -
(vi) The Parent has established and maintains a system of internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation of
the Parent’s internal control over financial reporting at the Evaluation Time by the Parent’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such internal control over financial reporting was,
at the Evaluation Time, sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the
Parent’s financial reporting and the preparation of Parent financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with GAAP. No event, circumstance or event has occurred since the
Evaluation Time that would cause the Parent to believe that the Parent’s internal controls are not
currently effective in any material respect.
(j) Obligations to Related Parties. Except as set forth on Schedule 12(j),

in any of the Parent’s Exchange Act Filings.

with which it or any of its Subsidiaries is affiliated (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) or
with which it or any of its Subsidiaries has a material business relationship, or any Person which
competes with it or any of its Subsidiaries, other than passive investments in publicly traded

any of its Subsidiaries. Except as described above, as disclosed in the Parent’s Exchange Act
Filings or as set forth in Schedule 12(j), none of its executive officers or directors, or
any member of their immediate families, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material
contract with it or any of its Subsidiaries and no material agreements, understandings or proposed

(i) It and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all
Intellectual Property necessary for their respective businesses as now conducted and, to its

be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and the issuance of any of the
Securities, except (i) those required under the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) such as have
been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the
Closing Date, as will be filed in a timely manner. It and each of its Subsidiaries has all FAA and
DOT permits and licenses and similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business. It and
each of its Subsidiaries has all other material franchises, permits, licenses and any similar
authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which
could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(t) Environmental and Safety Laws. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
material violation of any applicable local, state, federal, or foreign statute, regulation or rule,
ordinance, order or other law relating to the environment or to the protection of public health and
welfare or occupational health and safety (collectively, “E&S Law”), and to its knowledge,
no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such E&S Law or to
satisfy any reasonably anticipated liability arising under any E&S Law or the common law. Except
(i) for use in the ordinary course of business in compliance with E&S Law and in a manner that is
not reasonably likely to give rise to material liability or responsibility under any E&S Law or the
- 19 -
common law or (ii) as set forth on Schedule 12(t), no Hazardous Materials (as defined
below) are used or have been used, stored, or disposed of by it or any of its Subsidiaries or, to
its knowledge, by any other Person on any property presently or formerly owned, leased or used by
it or any of its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, “Hazardous Materials”
shall mean: materials that are listed or defined as “hazardous” or “toxic” or
“pollutants or contaminants” under any E&S Law, including those laws that govern the existence
and/or remedy of contamination on property, the protection of the environment from contamination,
the control of hazardous or other wastes, or other activities involving those types of materials,
including, without limitation, building materials, any petroleum and petroleum
products and byproducts, nuclear materials, asbestos, and polychlorinated biphenyls.
(u) Valid Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of
Laurus contained in this Agreement, the offer and issuance of the Securities will be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and
qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state
securities laws.
(v) Full Disclosure. As of the date of this Agreement, it and each of its
Subsidiaries has provided Laurus with substantially all information requested by Laurus in
connection with Laurus’ decision to enter into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements nor the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto nor any other document
delivered by it or any of its Subsidiaries to Laurus or its attorneys or agents in connection
herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not
misleading, in each case as of their respective dates. Any financial projections and other
estimates provided to Laurus by it or any of its Subsidiaries were based on its and its
Subsidiaries’ experience in the industry and on assumptions of fact and opinion as to future events
which it or any of its Subsidiaries, at the date of the issuance of such projections or estimates,
believed to be reasonable.
(w) Insurance. It and each of its Subsidiaries has general commercial, product
liability, fire and casualty insurance policies with coverages, which it believes are customary for
companies similarly situated to it and its Subsidiaries in the same or similar business.
(x) SEC Reports and Financial Statements. Since the Balance Sheet Date, except as set
forth on Schedule 12(x) and excluding filings on Form 8-K, Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5, it
and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all proxy statements, reports and other documents required
to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Parent has made available to Laurus: (i) its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2005; and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, and
the Form 8-K filings which it has made during its fiscal years ending December 31, 2006 and 2007 to
date (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Except as set forth on Schedule 12(x),
each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of
its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes
thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes
- 20 -
thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not
include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, the results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.
(y) Listing. The Parent’s Common Stock is listed or quoted, as applicable, on the
Principal Market and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing or quotation,
as applicable, and the Parent shall do all things necessary for the continuation of such listing or
quotation, as applicable. The Parent has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be
delisted from, or no longer quoted on, as applicable, the Principal Market or that its Common Stock
does not meet all requirements for such listing or quotation, as applicable.
(z) No Integrated Offering. Neither it, nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances
that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by it for purposes of the Securities Act which
would prevent it from issuing the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any
applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will it or any of its Affiliates
or Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be
integrated with other offerings.
(aa) Reserved.
(bb) Dilution. It specifically acknowledges that the Parent’s obligation to issue the
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Parent and enforceable
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders
of the Parent.
(cc) Patriot Act. It certifies that, to the best of its knowledge, neither it nor any
of its Subsidiaries has been designated, nor is or shall be owned or controlled, by a “suspected
terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. It hereby acknowledges that Laurus seeks to comply
with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of
those efforts, it hereby represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) none of the cash or property
that it or any of its Subsidiaries will pay or will contribute to Laurus has been or shall be
derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii)
no contribution or payment by it or any of its Subsidiaries to Laurus, to the extent that they are
within its or any such Subsidiary’s control shall cause Laurus to be in violation of the United
States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or
the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of
2001. It shall promptly notify Laurus if any of these representations, warranties and covenants
ceases to be true and accurate regarding it or any of its Subsidiaries. It shall provide Laurus
with any additional information regarding it and each Subsidiary thereof that Laurus deems
necessary or convenient to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering
and similar activities. It understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of
the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants are incorrect, or if otherwise required by
applicable law or regulation related to money laundering or similar activities, Laurus may
undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable law or regulation, including but
not limited to segregation and/or redemption of Laurus’ investment in it. It further understands
that Laurus may release confidential information about it and its Subsidiaries and, if applicable,
any underlying beneficial owners, to proper authorities if Laurus, in
- 21 -
its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of Laurus in light of
relevant rules and regulations under the laws set forth in subsection (ii) above.
(dd) Company Name; Locations of Offices, Records and Collateral. Schedule
12(dd) sets forth each Company’s name as it appears in official filings in the state of its
organization, the type of entity of each Company, the organizational identification number issued
by each Company’s state of organization or a statement that no such number has been issued, each
Company’s state of organization, and the location of each Company’s chief executive office,
corporate offices, warehouses, other locations of Collateral and locations where records with
respect to Collateral are kept (including in each case the county of such locations) and, except as
set forth in such Schedule 12(dd), such locations have not changed during the preceding
twelve months. As of the Closing Date, during the prior five years, except as set forth in
Schedule 12(dd), no Company has been known as or conducted business in any other name
(including trade names). Each Company has only one state of organization.
(ee) ERISA. Based upon the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”), and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder: (i) neither it
nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any Prohibited Transactions (as defined in Section 406
of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code); (ii) it and each of its Subsidiaries has met all applicable
minimum funding requirements under Section 302 of ERISA in respect of its plans; (iii) neither it
nor any of its Subsidiaries has any knowledge of any event or occurrence which would cause the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate
any employee benefit plan(s); (iv) neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any fiduciary
responsibility for investments with respect to any plan existing for the benefit of persons other
than its or such Subsidiary’s employees; and (v) neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has
withdrawn, completely or partially, from any multi-employer pension plan so as to incur liability
under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980.
13. Covenants. Each Company, as applicable, covenants and agrees with Laurus (which
covenants and agreements shall be binding upon any Subsidiary, if any, as if made by such
Subsidiary as applicable to Subsidiary as well as such Company) that:
(a) Stop-Orders. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will issue any stop
order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Securities at such time as the
Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from such registration is available,
except as required by state and federal securities laws or as permitted by Section 7(d) of the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Parent shall advise Laurus, promptly after it receives notice
of issuance by the SEC, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any
stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the Parent,
or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Parent for offering or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.
(b) Listing. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Parent shall file a
Listing of Additional Shares Application to secure the listing or quotation, as applicable, of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on the Principal Market upon which
shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted, as applicable, (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall maintain such listing or quotation, as applicable, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed or quoted, as applicable. The Parent shall maintain the listing
or quotation, as applicable, of its Common Stock on the Principal Market, and will comply in all
material respects
- 22 -
with the Parent’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) and such exchanges, as applicable.
(c) Market Regulations. To the extent required by law, the Parent shall notify the
SEC, NASD and applicable state authorities of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by
applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to Laurus
and promptly provide copies thereof to Laurus.
(d) Reporting Requirements. The Parent shall timely file with the SEC all reports
required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act and refrain from terminating its status as
an issuer required by the Exchange Act to file reports thereunder even if the Exchange Act or the
rules or regulations thereunder would permit such termination.
(e) Use of Funds. It shall use the proceeds of the Loans (i) to repay in full the
Existing Indebtedness, (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom, to pay dividends to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) for
general working capital purposes only.
(f) Access to Facilities. It shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
permit any representatives designated by Laurus (or any successor of Laurus), upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, at Company’s expense and accompanied by a representative
of Company Agent (provided that no such prior notice shall be required to be given and no such
representative shall be required to accompany Laurus in the event Laurus believes such access is
necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral or following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default), to:
(i) visit and inspect any of its or any such Subsidiary’s properties;
(ii) examine its or any such Subsidiary’s corporate and financial records (unless such
examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law or by contract) and make copies thereof
or extracts therefrom; and
(iii) discuss its or any such Subsidiary’s affairs, finances and accounts with its or any such
Subsidiary’s directors, officers and Accountants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall provide any material,
non-public information to Laurus unless Laurus signs a confidentiality agreement and otherwise
complies with Regulation FD, under the federal securities laws.
(g) Taxes. It shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly pay and
discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it and its Subsidiaries’ income, profits, property
or business, as the case may be; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy
need not be paid currently if (i) the validity thereof shall currently and diligently be contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such tax, assessment, charge or levy shall have no
effect on the Lien priority of Laurus in the Collateral, and (iii) if it and/or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, shall have set aside on its and/or such Subsidiary’s books adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP; and provided, further, that it shall, and shall cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, pay all such
- 23 -
taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to
foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefor.
(h) Insurance. It shall keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured
by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other
risks customarily insured against by companies in similar business similarly situated as it; and it
shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and
risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner which it reasonably
believes is customary for companies in similar business similarly situated as it and to the extent
available on commercially reasonable terms. It will bear the full risk of loss from any loss of
any nature whatsoever with respect to the assets pledged to Laurus as security for the Obligations.
At its own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers reasonably acceptable to Laurus, it shall
(i) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which it has an interest insured against
the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance
and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in
businesses similar to it including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain insurance or a
bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to it
insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and
employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to its assets or
funds either directly or through governmental authority to draw upon such funds or to direct
generally the disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public liability insurance against claims
for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iv) maintain all such worker’s
compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in
which it is engaged in business; and (v) furnish Laurus with (x) copies of all policies and
evidence of the maintenance of such policies, which policies shall include the provision that
Laurus shall be notified in writing of any proposed cancellation or material change in such policy
at least thirty (30) days in advance of such proposed cancellation or change (ten (10) days with
respect to nonpayment of premiums and seven (7) days with respect to war risk and allied perils
coverage) and will have sufficient time and the right to correct any deficiencies justifying such
proposed cancellation or change, (y) excepting its workers’ compensation policy, endorsements to
such policies, in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, naming Laurus as additional insured,
loss payee, and mortgagee (as its interests may appear) pursuant to a so-called “standard mortgagee
clause”, and (z) evidence that as to Laurus the insurance coverage shall not be impaired or
invalidated by any act or neglect of any company or any tenant or subtenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13(h), each Company shall at all
times keep the Aircraft (other than the Parked Aircraft) insured with “all risk” hull insurance in
an amount in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Laurus. Furthermore, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in addition, each Company will carry or cause to be carried at its expense (A) aircraft
public liability (including, without limitation, passenger legal liability) (and including aircraft
war risk and hijacking insurance, if and to the extent the same is maintained by such Company with
respect to other aircraft owned or leased, and operated by such Company on the same routes),
insurance and property damage insurance (exclusive of manufacturer’s product liability insurance)
with respect to the Aircraft, in an amount not less than the greater of (x) the amount of public
liability and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated
by such Company of the same type as the Aircraft and (y) $500,000,000 per occurrence (or in amounts
acceptable with industry standards), and (B) cargo liability insurance, in the case of both clause
(i) and clause (ii), (1) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time applicable to
aircraft operated by such Company of the same type as the Aircraft and (2) which is maintained in
effect with insurers of recognized responsibility. Any
- 24 -
policies of insurance carried in accordance with this paragraph and any policies taken out in
substitution or replacement for any of such policies (A) shall be amended to name Laurus as
additional insured as its respective interests may appear, (B) shall provide that in respect of the
interest of Laurus in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
inaction of the any Company, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in such policies by such Company, and (C) shall provide that if the insurers
cancel such insurance for any reason whatever or if any material change is made in such insurance
which adversely affects the interest of Laurus, or such insurance shall lapse for non-payment of
premium, such cancellation , lapse or change shall not be effective as to Laurus for thirty (30)
days (seven (7) days in the case of war risk and allied perils coverage and ten (10) days with
respect to nonpayment of premiums) after issuance to Laurus of written notice by such insurers of
cancellation, lapse or change; provided, however, that if any notice period specified above is not
reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall
then be reasonably obtainable. Each liability policy shall waive any right of the insurers to any
set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of
any liability of Laurus to the extent of any moneys due to Laurus.
Each Company shall instruct the insurance carriers that in the event of any total loss of an
Aircraft or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the carriers shall make payment
for such loss to Laurus and not to the order of such Company and Laurus jointly. With respect to a
loss other than a total loss of an Aircraft at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, if such loss, when aggregated with all other losses occurring during such fiscal year,
does not exceed $500,000, such Company may adjust and compromise claims with the insurance carrier
and the insurance carrier may make payment directly to such Company. Such Company may elect to
apply such payment toward the repair, replacement or restoration of any property in respect of
which such payment was made by the insurance carrier no later than 150 days following the date of
receipt of such payment; provided, all property purchased with such payment shall made be
subject to the first priority Lien of this Agreement or the Aircraft Security Documents. Any such
payment not applied within the 150-day period set forth in the previous sentence (or earlier, at
the option of such Company) to so repair, replace or restore in accordance with such sentence shall
be paid to Laurus by such Company as a prepayment of the Loans and as a permanent reduction of the
Capital Availability Amount.
In the event of a total loss of an Aircraft, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or if such loss when aggregated with all other losses occurring during such fiscal year
exceed $500,000, (i) if any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable
to a Company and Laurus jointly, Laurus may endorse such Company’s name thereon and do such other
things as Laurus may deem in its sole discretion advisable to reduce the same to cash and in such
event, (ii) Laurus is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims.
All loss recoveries received by Laurus upon any such insurance may be applied to the
Obligations, in such order as Laurus in its sole discretion shall determine or shall otherwise be
delivered to the Parent. Any surplus shall be paid by Laurus to the Parent, or applied as may be
otherwise required by law. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any deficiency
thereon shall be paid, jointly and severally, as applicable, by the Companies to Laurus, on demand.
(i) Intellectual Property. It shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
maintain in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all licenses
and
- 25 -
other rights to use Intellectual Property owned or possessed by it and reasonably deemed to be
necessary to the conduct of its business.
(j) Properties. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement as to Parked Aircraft
or in the ordinary course of business, it shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep
its properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and
from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto; and it shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times
comply with each provision of all leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies or
utilizes such property if the breach of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Confidentiality. It shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of Laurus, unless expressly
agreed to by Laurus or unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable
regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Company and its Subsidiaries may disclose Laurus’ identity and the terms of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements to its current and prospective debt and equity financing sources. Laurus
shall be permitted to discuss, distribute or otherwise transfer any non-public information of the
Companies and their respective Subsidiaries in Laurus’ possession now or in the future to potential
or actual (i) direct or indirect investors in Laurus and (ii) third party assignees or transferees
of all or a portion of the obligations of any Company and/or any of its respective Subsidiaries
hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreement, to the extent that such investor or assignee or
transferee enters into a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Parent in such form as
may be necessary to addresses the Parent’s Regulation FD requirements. Laurus acknowledges that,
promptly following execution and delivery of this Agreement, conformed copies of this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements and all amendments thereto may (notwithstanding the foregoing) be filed by
the Parent as material agreements with the SEC.
(l) Required Approvals. It shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, without the prior written consent of Laurus:
(i) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (exclusive of Permitted
Indebtedness) whether secured or unsecured other than (A) each Company’s Indebtedness to Laurus,
(B) each Company’s Indebtedness as set forth on Schedule 13(l)(i) attached hereto and made
a part hereof and (C) any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment, priority,
structure and otherwise to the Obligations on terms and conditions reasonably and mutually
acceptable to the Companies and Laurus and the provider of such subordinated Indebtedness;
(ii) cancel any Indebtedness owing to it in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate during any
twelve (12) month period (other than in exchange for which cancelled Indebtedness, it receives
reasonably equivalent consideration and fair value), provided, however, the
foregoing shall not authorize or permit the cancellation of any Indebtedness or obligation in any
amount owed by any of any Company’s officers, directors, stockholders or employees;
(iii) assume, guarantee, endorse or otherwise become directly or contingently liable in
connection with any obligations of any other Person, except the endorsement of negotiable
instruments by it or its Subsidiaries for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the
- 26 -
ordinary course of business or any guarantees and indemnifications respecting Indebtedness
otherwise permitted to be outstanding pursuant to this clause;
(iv) directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any cash dividend or cash distribution on any
class of its Stock or apply any of its funds, property or assets to the purchase, redemption or
other retirement of any of its or its Subsidiaries’ Stock; provided, however, that
so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and
(ii) the aggregate amount of such dividends in any twelve-month (12) period does not exceed
$1,700,000, the Parent may pay quarterly dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock;
(v) purchase or hold beneficially any Stock or other securities or evidences of Indebtedness
of, make or permit to exist any loans or advances to, or make any investment or acquire any
interest whatsoever in, any other Person, including any partnership or joint venture, except (w)
travel advances, (x) the extension of commercial trade credit in connection with the performance of
services and sale of Equipment in the ordinary course of business, (y) loans to its and its
Subsidiaries’ officers and employees not exceeding at any one time an aggregate of $10,000, other
than advancement of expenses in the ordinary course of business, and (z) loans to its existing
Subsidiaries so long as such Subsidiaries are designated as either a co-borrower hereunder or has
entered into such guaranty and security documentation required by Laurus, including, without
limitation, to grant to Laurus a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of
such Subsidiary’s assets to secure the Obligations;
(vi) create or permit to exist any Subsidiary, other than any Subsidiary in existence on the
date hereof and listed in Schedule 12(b) unless such new Subsidiary is a wholly-owned
Subsidiary and is designated by Laurus as either a co-borrower or guarantor hereunder and such
Subsidiary shall have entered into all such documentation required by Laurus, including, without
limitation, to grant to Laurus a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of
such Subsidiary’s assets to secure the Obligations;
(vii) directly or indirectly, prepay any Indebtedness (other than to Laurus and in the
ordinary course of business), or repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any Indebtedness
(other than to Laurus and in the ordinary course of business) except to make scheduled payments of
principal and interest thereof;
(viii) enter into any merger, consolidation or other reorganization with or into any other
Person or acquire all or a portion of the assets or Stock of any Person or permit any other Person
to consolidate with or merge with it, unless (1) such Company is the surviving entity of such
merger or consolidation, (2) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to and after giving
effect to such merger or consolidation, (3) such Company shall have provided Laurus copies of all

(ix) materially change the nature of the business in which it is presently engaged;
(x) become subject to (including, without limitation, by way of amendment to or modification
of) any agreement or instrument which by its terms would (under any circumstances) restrict its or
any of its Subsidiaries’ right to perform the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary
Agreements;

(i) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act; or
(ii) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after such Securities are
registered under the Securities Act.
The Parent agrees to cooperate with Laurus in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d)
and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such resales provided the Parent and
its counsel receive reasonably requested representations from Laurus and broker, if any.
(n) Opinion. On the Closing Date, it shall deliver to Laurus an opinion acceptable to

business is and shall continue to be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable

all Collateral. Laurus shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein and in each
Ancillary Agreement, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and under other
applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which Laurus may be entitled, including the
right to take
- 37 -
immediate possession of the Collateral, to require each Company to assemble the Collateral
(other than the Parked Aircraft), at Companies’ joint and several expense, and to make it available
to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus which is reasonably convenient to both parties and to
enter any of the premises of any Company or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or
without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if
said premises be the property of any Company, such Company agrees not to charge Laurus for storage
thereof), and the right to apply for the appointment of a receiver for such Company’s property.
Further, Laurus may, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and
deliver all Collateral held by or for Laurus at public or private sale for cash, upon credit or
otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Laurus, in Laurus’ sole discretion, deems
advisable or Laurus may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner
as Laurus, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company Agent at Company Agent’s address as shown
in Laurus’ records, at least ten (10) days before the time of the event of which notice is being
given. Laurus may be the purchaser at any sale, if it is public. Laurus may, further, at any time
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, but need not, perform or observe any of the covenants
contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead
of a Company (or, at the option of Laurus, in Laurus’ name) and may, but need not, take any and all
other actions which Laurus may deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the
payment of taxes, satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors,
lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of
assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments).
The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of such performance or observance
shall be charged to the Company’s account as a Loan and added to the Obligations. In connection
with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Laurus is granted permission to use all of each
Company’s Intellectual Property. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and
expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and second to the payment (in whatever order Laurus
elects) of all Obligations. After the payment in full in immediately available funds of all of the
Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including Section 9-608(a)(1) of the UCC (but only after Laurus has received what Laurus considers
reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to
Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) or its representatives or to whosoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
The Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable to Laurus for any deficiency. The parties
hereto each hereby agree that the exercise by any party hereto of any right granted to it or the
exercise by any party hereto of any remedy available to it (including, without limitation, the
issuance of a notice of redemption, a borrowing request and/or a notice of default), in each case,
hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall not constitute confidential information and no
party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such information as confidential.
23. Waivers. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Company hereby
waives (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to
accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension or renewal of any or all of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any other
notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties
at any time held by Laurus on which such Company may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and
confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to
Laurus’ taking possession or control of, or to Laurus’ replevy, attachment or levy upon, any
Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Laurus to
- 38 -
exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption
laws. Each Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions
with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions evidenced hereby and
thereby.
24. Expenses. The Companies shall jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or
outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with (x) subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 5(b)(iii), the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, and (y) in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute,
suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. The Companies shall also jointly and severally pay all
of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and
delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) Laurus’ obtaining
performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but
not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and
Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect,
collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any appraisals or
re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by any Company or any of its
Subsidiaries as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder and
(e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. The Companies shall also jointly
and severally pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers)
performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for any Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any
Company’s or such Subsidiary’s request or in connection with any Company’s loan account with
Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and
interest payable by the Companies to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the
Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any
transaction between any Company and/or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Laurus on the
other hand, which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay (including, without limitation,
as a result of a breach by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Section 13(u) herein), each of
the Companies hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and holds Laurus harmless in respect of such
taxes, and the Companies will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged
to the Companies’ account; and until the Companies shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or
supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been
made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to each Company’s credit and Laurus
shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral.
25. Assignment. Laurus may assign any or all of the Obligations (other than the
Warrant, which the Companies acknowledge has its own assignment provisions), together with any or
all of the security therefor, to any Person and any such assignee shall succeed to all of Laurus’
rights with respect thereto; provided that Laurus shall not be permitted to effect any such
assignment to a competitor of any Company or to any other Person which is not an institutional
investor or financial institution which Laurus reasonably believes can fully perform the
obligations of Laurus under this Agreement unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Upon such assignment, Laurus shall be released from all responsibility for the
Collateral to the extent same is assigned to any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or
otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation
shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the
same benefits as Laurus with respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a
participant. Each Company agrees that
- 39 -
each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim
with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though such Company were directly
indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation. No Company may assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Laurus. All of the terms,
conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of each of the undersigned, and shall bind the representatives, successors and permitted
assigns of each Company.
26. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy
or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any
other agreement between or among any Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same,
will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and
then only to the extent specifically stated. Laurus’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which
Laurus may have.
27. Application of Payments. Each Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on
such Company’s behalf and each Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the
continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times
hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable
notwithstanding any entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus’ books and records.
28. Indemnity. Each Company hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and holds
Laurus, and its respective affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified
Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any
appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as
the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement or any of
the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein
and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that
any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO
INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY
SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY
THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED
AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
29. Revival. The Companies further agree that to the extent any Company makes a
payment or payments to Laurus, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or
- 40 -
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said
payment had not been made.
30. Borrowing Agency Provisions.
(a) Each Company hereby irrevocably designates Company Agent to be its attorney and agent and
in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments,
documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such
Company, and hereby authorizes Laurus to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in
accordance with the request of Company Agent.
(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in
the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Companies and at their
request. Laurus shall not incur any liability to any Company as a result thereof. To induce
Laurus to do so and in consideration thereof, each Company hereby indemnifies Laurus and holds
Laurus harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of
damage or injury asserted against Laurus by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the
handling of the financing arrangements of the Companies as provided herein, reliance by Laurus on
any request or instruction from Company Agent or any other action taken by Laurus with respect to
this Paragraph 30.
(c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and the Companies shall make payment upon the
maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the
part of the Companies shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance
granted by Laurus to any Company, failure of Laurus to give any Company notice of borrowing or any
other notice, any failure of Laurus to pursue to preserve its rights against any Company, the
release by Laurus of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Company, and such agreement
by any Company to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by
prior recourse by Laurus to any Company or any Collateral for such Company’s Obligations or the
lack thereof.
(d) Each Company expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity,
exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Company may now or hereafter have against
the other or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations, or against or with
respect to any other’s property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral
for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until all
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement has been irrevocably terminated.
(e) Each Company represents and warrants to Laurus that (i) Companies have one or more common
stockholders, directors and officers, (ii) the businesses and corporate activities of Companies are
closely related to, and substantially benefit, the business and corporate activities of Companies,
(iii) the financial and other operations of Companies are performed on a combined basis as if
Companies constituted a consolidated corporate group, (iv) Companies will receive a substantial
economic benefit from entering into this Agreement and will receive a substantial economic benefit
from the application of each Loan hereunder, in each case, whether or not such amount is used
directly by any Company and (v) all requests for Loans hereunder by the Company Agent are for the
- 41 -
exclusive and indivisible benefit of the Companies as though, for purposes of this Agreement,
the Companies constituted a single entity.
31. Cape Town Convention. The Companies jointly and severally agree to facilitate any
registration of an International Interest required by Laurus. If requested by Laurus, the Company
shall initiate and consent to the filing of a prospective Contract of Sale. The Companies shall be
