Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are
necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid.
Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who

Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered

funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time
shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under
the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on

licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to more than five percent
(5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation
revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any

statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that Bank has received from
Borrower fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s financial condition
as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of

“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged
principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the
meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal

other federal, state or other governmental agency concerning any action or
omission by Borrower or any Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise
disposing of hazardous waste or hazardous substances into the
environment.

Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be
filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all

does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any
Person, except for Permitted Investments.

Effect.

Borrower’s nor any Subsidiary’s primary operating or deposit accounts are

thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured
within the ten day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured

there is a default or other failure to perform in any agreement to which
Borrower is a party or by which it is bound resulting in a right by a third
party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any
Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)

Bank’s
Rights and Remedies.
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may,
at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one
or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare
all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable without any action by
Bank);
16.
(b) Cease
advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon
terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers
advisable;
(d) Make
such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to
assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral
available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter
the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of
the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise
any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be
prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in
connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises,
Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises
and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s
rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or
otherwise;
(e) Set
off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the
credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;
(f) Ship,
reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise
for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral.
Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels,
patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar
nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s
exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s
benefit;
(g) Dispose
of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or
on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as
Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the
Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(h) Bank
may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(i) Any
deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above
will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s
designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney
to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account
debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name
on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s
possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating
to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of
Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose
of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions
with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) to file, in its
sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments
thereto, relative to any of the Collateral. The appointment of Bank as
Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have
been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit
Extensions hereunder is terminated.
17.
9.3 Accounts Collection. At
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest
in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall
collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as
Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original
form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for
deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If
Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due
to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to
Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
(b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or
(c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in
Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such
policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank
shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall
bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be
secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute
an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank
of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for

practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible
for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause;

any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person
whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrower.

other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and
remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in
equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an

be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver,
election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective

CHOICE OF
LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
This
Agreement and all Loan Documents unless otherwise specified therein shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of
Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
Federal courts located in the County of Santa Xxxxx, State of California.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR
STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING
WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS
WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
If the
jury waiver set forth in this Section 11 is not enforceable, then any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated herein shall be settled by judicial reference pursuant
to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq. before a referee sitting without
a jury, such referee to be mutually acceptable to the parties or, if no
agreement is reached, by a referee appointed by the Presiding Judge of the
California Superior Court for Santa Xxxxx County. This Section shall not
restrict a party from exercising remedies under the Code or from exercising
pre-judgment remedies under applicable law.
12.
General
Provisions.
12.1 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors
and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither
this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without
Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s
sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or
notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all
or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits
hereunder.
12.2 Indemnification.
Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers,
employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands,
claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or
Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or
in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between
Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for losses,
obligations, demands, claims, liabilities and Bank Expenses caused by Bank’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Time of Essence. Time is
of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this
Agreement.
12.4 Severability of
Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable
from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the
legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.5 Amendments in Writing,
Integration. Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can be
amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any,
are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
19.
12.6 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement.
12.7 Survival. All covenants,
representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any
obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower. The obligations of
Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs
and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all
applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be
brought against Bank have run.
12.8 Confidentiality. In
handling any confidential information Bank and all employees and agents of Bank,
including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care
that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same
types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby
received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such
information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in
connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower,
(ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit
Extensions, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality
agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower,
(iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial
order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the
examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may
determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.
Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that
either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or
possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain
after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to
Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such
third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.
12.9 Patriot Act Notice. To
help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: when you open an account, we will ask your
name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to
identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other
identifying documents.
13.
Co-Borrower
Provisions.
13.1 Primary Obligation. This
Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain
in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of
law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any
Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Bank and
any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future
Obligations as fully as if all of all Credit Extensions were advanced to such
Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate or representation made by any
Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without
limitation Disbursement Request Forms, Borrowing Base Certificates and
Compliance Certificates.
13.2 Enforcement of Rights.
Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations and Bank may
proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without
waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.
13.3 Borrowers as Agents.
Each Borrower appoints each other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power
and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on
behalf of all Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit
Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Bank on behalf of each
Borrower for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents. This
authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not inquire as to any Borrower’s
authority to act for or on behalf of any other Borrower.
20.
13.4 Subrogation and Similar
Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may
have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the
Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution,
indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or
any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the
Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights
that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the
Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any
agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement
prohibited under this Section 13.4 shall be null and void. If any payment
is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 13.4, such Borrower shall
hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered
to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured.
13.5 Waivers of Notice.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives notice of
acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of
the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the
Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of
acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any
other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Borrower’s risk;
presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any
instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Borrower
would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from
any defense of any other Borrower (other than payment in full of the
Obligations), or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of any other Borrower (other than payment in full of the
Obligations). Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by
any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or
diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from
foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security
instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of
any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any
Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or
omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower’s risks
hereunder.
13.6 Subrogation Defenses.
Each Borrower waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its
subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all benefits
which might otherwise be available to it under any statutory or common law
suretyship defenses (other than payment in full of the Obligations) or
marshalling rights, now and hereafter in effect.
13.7 Right to Settle,
Release.
(a) The
liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement,
understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be
guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release
or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Bank may
now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or
property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b) Without
affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of
payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a
Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents
relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender
or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether
pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or
extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce,
or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who
is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the
Obligations.
