During the Third Draw Period, Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to make one (1) Term Loan (the “Third Term Loan”) available to Borrower in an amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Term Loan based upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender. The First Term Loan, Second Term Loan, and Third Term Loan are hereinafter referred to, singly or collectively, “Term Loan.” For purposes of this section, the minimum amount of each Term Loan is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). After repayment, no Term Loan may be re-borrowed. Lenders’ obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) at the Lenders’ election, the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the Commitment Termination Date.
(b) Interest Payments. Commencing on the first Payment Date of the month following the month in which each Funding Date occurs (or commencing on the Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first calendar day of the month) and continuing thereafter until the applicable Amortization Date, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(a).
(c) Repayment. Commencing on the applicable Amortization Date for each Term Loan and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, for each Term Loan, Borrower shall make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest, in advance, calculated by Agent based upon: (1) the amount of the Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest set forth in Section 2.2(a), and (3) the applicable Amortization Schedule. All unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. A Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(e) and 2.1.1(f).
(d) Final Payment. On the Maturity Date (or earlier as provided in Sections 2.1.1(e) and 2.1.1(f) below) with respect to each Term Loan, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due on such date with respect to such Term Loan, an amount equal to the Final Payment.
(e) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration.

(f) Permitted Prepayment of Loans. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least three (3) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, and (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
2.2 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is four percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.2(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lenders and/or Agent.
(c) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(d) Debit of Accounts. Agent may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Lenders hereunder when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
(e) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.
2.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent:
(a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), on the Effective Date;

(d) Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.
2.4 Additional Costs. If any new law or regulation increases Agent and/or Lenders’ costs or reduces its income for any loan, Borrower shall pay the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any amount attributable to any period before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date Agent notifies Borrower of such increased costs.

Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Agent and/or Lenders’ Lien under this Agreement).

If this Agreement is terminated, Agent’s and Lenders’ Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Agent’s and Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and deliver such documents and make such filings as Borrower shall reasonably request.
4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lenders under the Code.
| 5 | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, if any, are duly existing and in good standing, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Agent and Lenders a completed perfection certificate signed by Borrower (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office) (or as Borrower has given Agent notice pursuant to Section 7.2); (e) except as disclosed on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall provide written notice to Agent within thirty (30) days after entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower shall take such steps as Agent requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Agent and Lenders to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement (such consent or authorization may include a licensor’s agreement to a contingent assignment of the license to Agent if Agent determines that is necessary in its good faith judgment), whether now existing or entered into in the future.
5.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed on the Perfection Certificate or as Borrower has given notice pursuant to Section 6.2(a), there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in damages payable by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in an amount involving more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).

5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.6 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Except as set forth on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

Grace periods provided under this Section shall not apply to any covenants set forth in subsection (a) above;
8.3 Intentionally Deleted;
8.4 Attachment. (a) Any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in ten (10) days; (b) the service of process seeking to attach, by trustee or similar process, any funds of Borrower, or of any entity under control of Borrower (including a Subsidiary), on deposit with Agent or Agent’s Affiliate; (c) Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its business; (d) a judgment or other claim in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) becomes a Lien on any of Borrower’s assets; or (e) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during the cure period);

8.7 Judgments. A judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (not covered by independent third-party insurance) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment);
8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Agent and/or Lenders or to induce Agent and/or Lenders to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made; or

| 9 | RIGHTS AND REMEDIES |
9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Agent may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Agent and/or Lenders);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Agent and/or Lenders;
-10-
(c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent designates. Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Agent for the benefit of Lenders a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies;
(e) apply to the Obligations then due and payable any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Agent or Lenders owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Agent for the benefit of Lenders;
(g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Agent or Lenders and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Agent and/or Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent for the benefit of Lenders or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Agent and Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Agent’s and Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Accounts Verification; Collection. During the existence of an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Agent and Lenders, and, if requested by Agent, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest
-11-
applicable rate charged by Agent, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s or any Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Application of Payments and Proceeds. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent and Lenders may apply any funds in their possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent and/or Lenders, in their good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enter into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent and each Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.
9.6 Agent’s and Lenders’ Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent and Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices and the Code regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Agent and Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s and/or any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agent and/or Lenders thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and each Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Agent and Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.8 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Agent or any Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Lenders’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Lenders and/or Agent from, following, or arising from transactions between Lenders and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by an Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
12.5 Amendments in Writing; Integration. All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing signed by Agent, Lenders and Borrower.

-14-
12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall exercise the same degree of care that they exercise for their own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Agent’s and Lenders’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates (provided that such Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall abide by the terms of this provision); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Agent and Lenders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Agent’s and Lenders’ regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Agent’s and Lenders’ examination or audit; and (e) as Agent considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or Lenders, as appropriate, may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
