Transamerica Business Credit Corporation (“TBCC”) and Pacific Biometrics, Inc. (“Pacific”) entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of March 14, 1997 (“Lease Agreement”). Pacific defaulted in its obligations pursuant to the Lease Agreement and related documents on January 1, 1999.

The Forbearance Agreement and related documents thereto hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Forbearance Documents”. Pacific defaulted in its obligations under the Forbearance Documents and acknowledges that TBCC has the right to exercise all rights and remedies against Pacific under the Lease Agreement and Forbearance Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower may keep any Collateral consisting of motor vehicles or rolling stock at any location in the United States provided that the Lender’s security interest in any such Collateral is conspicuously marked on the certificate of title thereof and the Borrower has complied with the provisions of Section 5.9.

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
