LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT
10.12
This
Loan
and Security Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on January 16, 2008, among
InterMetro Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower,” “Pledgor”
or the “Company”), each Subsidiary of Borrower (together with the Borrower, the
“Pledgors” or individually a “Pledgor”) and the lenders signing the signature
page hereto (each individually a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”), and
Glenhaven Corporation, as agent for the Lenders hereunder (the “Agent”). Certain
capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are defined on Exhibit
A
hereto.
RECITALS
A. The
Company is currently in need of funds to help finance its operations until
the
closing of its next round of equity financing.
B. The
Lenders are willing to advance funds to the Company in exchange for the issuance
to them of units (the “Units”), each consisting of (i) a Secured
Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Borrower to each Lender at the Closing
in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Notes”), (ii)
a
warrant, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, to purchase one share of the
Borrower’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) for each dollar of the original
principal amount of such Lender’s Note (the “Initial Warrants”) and (iii) a
warrant, in the form of Exhibit F hereto, to purchase one share of Common Stock
for each dollar of original principal amount of such Lender’s Note (the
“Additional Warrants,” and together with the Initial Warrants, the
“Warrants”).
C. The
Company and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) each constituent part of the Units
is an essential part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
that
no Lender is being permitted to receive any one part of the Unit without
purchasing the entire Unit and (ii) that the Company and the Lenders did not
separately value the constituent parts of the Unit separately but instead
arrived at the terms of the Units as part of an integrated transaction.
NOW
THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Loan.
Loan.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, severally and not jointly,
shall make a loan (collectively, the “Loan”) to Borrower in the principal sum
set forth under its signature on this Agreement. The total Loan shall be not
less than $850,000 nor more than $3,000,000. Each Loan shall be evidenced by
a
Note. In the event of a conflict between the Notes and this Agreement, the
terms
of this Agreement will govern.
Interest.
Each
Note and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the lesser of
(i)
10% per annum or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law. Interest shall be
payable in arrears on the Maturity Date referred to below. Any interest not
paid
when due shall be added to the principal and shall thereafter bear like interest
as the principal of the Notes. Interest accruing after the Maturity Date shall
be compounded monthly, without waiving any rights or remedies of the Lenders
by
reason of the failure to pay the same when due.
Maturity
Date.
Unless
the Notes are earlier converted into securities of the Borrower as provided
in
the Notes, on the Maturity Date set forth in the Notes, the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and
all other monetary Obligations with respect to the respective Notes shall be
due
and payable in full.
Payments.
For all
purposes of this Agreement any payments by Borrower shall be made ratably on
all
outstanding Notes. Payment will only be deemed received when received in
immediately available funds and any immediately available funds received later
than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have
been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or
fee
shall continue to accrue during such period.
Prepayment.
The
Borrower may at any time prepay the Notes as provided therein.
Warrants.
Concurrently with the issuance of a Note, the Borrower will issue and deliver
to
each Lender an Initial Warrant and an Additional Warrant.
Security
Interest and Subordination.
Grant
of Security Interest.
As an inducement for the Lenders to extend the Loan, each Pledgor grants Agent,
for the ratable benefit of each Lender, a security interest in all of the assets
and property described in Exhibit A
hereto
(the “Collateral”) to secure the following (the “Obligations”): the obligation
to pay all principal of, and interest on, the Notes, and all other debts,
liabilities, obligations, guaranties, covenants and duties now or hereafter
owing by the Pledgors to Lenders or Agent under, arising out of, or relating
to
this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including without limitation all interest,
reasonable and customary fees and costs, and other sums now or hereafter due
to
the Lenders or Agent, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated. This
Agreement creates in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a valid
security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, securing
the payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Pledgor will not,
hereafter, without Agent’s prior written consent, enter into a license or
agreement which contains a provision prohibiting the grant of a security
interest in its rights thereunder, unless such license or agreement is not
material to the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole. Each Pledgor shall
take all such actions as Agent requests from time to time, in its good faith
business judgment, to perfect or continue the perfection of the security
interest granted hereunder.
-
2 -
Subordination.
Provided no Event of Default exists at the time a Pledgor obtains A/R Financing
(as defined below), each Lender agrees to subordinate payment of the Obligations
of Pledgors to such Lender, and any renewals, amendments, substitutions or
revisions thereof, to any credit facility provided to a Pledgor in the future
which is based on and secured solely by Accounts (“A/R Financing”) and further
agrees that the Lender’s security interest in Accounts only shall be
subordinated to and junior in priority to any lien or security interest on
Accounts that secures A/R Financing. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent, for
and on behalf of such Lender, to execute and deliver such subordination,
intercreditor or other agreements or instruments as the lender of the A/R
Financing shall reasonably request to carry out the intent of this Section
2(b).
Subject to the rights, if any, of lenders of A/R Financing under this Section
2(b), nothing contained in this Section 2(b) shall impair, as between the
Pledgors and the Lenders, the obligation of the Pledgors, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, to pay the Obligations as and when the same become due
and payable, or shall prevent any Lender, upon an Event of Default, from
exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by
applicable law.
Representations
and Warranties.
Each
Pledgor represents to the Lenders as of each Closing Date and, as to subsections
(a)(i) and (b)(ii), as of each date on which securities of the Borrower are
issued upon the conversion of the Notes or pursuant to the Warrants
(collectively, the “Lender Securities”) as follows (and the following
representations shall be deemed continuing until the time set forth in Section
17 of this Agreement):
Authorization;
Subsidiaries.
(i) Each
Pledgor is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in
good
standing under the laws of its respective state of incorporation, and is and
will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in the State of
California and in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result
in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Pledgor of this Agreement and the Loan Documents have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not violate its Articles
of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or, in any material respect, any law or any material
agreement or instrument which is binding upon it or its property. This Agreement
and the Loan Documents are, or when executed and delivered will be, valid and
binding obligations of each Pledgor enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as the same may be limited by equitable principles
and
by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights. The Company has duly reserved
for future issuance a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock as required to permit the conversion of the Notes and the exercise
of the Warrants in full.
(ii) Other
than the Subsidiaries, Borrower has no direct or indirect wholly-owned or
partially owned subsidiaries and is not a member, partner or joint venturer
in
any limited liability company, partnership or joint venture. Each Pledgor’s
correct name is set forth in this Agreement and if a Pledgor hereafter gives
Agent written notice within 15 days after any future change in its name this
representation shall not be deemed to be breached. All of the outstanding shares
of the capital stock of the Subsidiaries have been validly authorized and
issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and, in the case of Intermetro
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IMC Delaware”) are owned by
Borrower and in the case of Advanced Tel, Inc., a California corporation, are
owned by IMC Delaware, in each case of record and beneficially free and clear
of
any Lien other
than restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws (the
“Pledged Securities”).
-
3 -
Capitalization;
Securities.
(i) The
authorized capital of the Borrower consists of the securities shown on Exhibit
D
hereto. All outstanding shares of stock of the Borrower are duly and validly
authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and were issued in
compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws. Except as
shown on Exhibit D, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights
(including conversion privileges and preemptive rights) or agreements for the
purchase or acquisition from the Borrower of any shares of its capital stock,
and (ii) the Borrower is not a party or subject to any agreement or
understanding, and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, there is no agreement or
understanding between any Persons which affects or relates to the voting or
giving of written consents with respect to any security, provided that this
representation shall not be deemed to be breached if Borrower gives Agent
written notice promptly after Borrower in the future becomes aware of any such
agreement or understanding.
(ii) When
issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the documents relating
thereto and for the consideration therein stated, the Lender Securities will
be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, assuming the accuracy
of the Lenders’ representations and warranties herein, such securities will be
free of restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions on transfer under
this
Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws.
(iii) Except
as
set forth on Exhibit C, other than the Lenders’ right pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement referred to in Section 5(c)(vi), no Person has
any
right to cause the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act or has “piggyback” registration rights with respect to any Company
securities.
Places
of Business; Locations of Collateral.
The
address set forth in this Agreement under Borrower’s signature is Borrower's
chief executive office. The Pledgors have places of business and Collateral
is
located only at the locations set forth on Exhibit C hereto, provided that
this
representation shall not be deemed to be breached if a Pledgor in the future
does any of the following, provided it gives written notice thereof to the
Agent
within 15 days after any of the following occurs: Pledgor changes its chief
executive office, or any of the Collateral is moved to outside the United
States, or Pledgor opens a place of business in another state (other than a
state in which Agent’s security interest is perfected).
-
4 -
Title
to Collateral; Permitted Liens.
The
Pledgors are now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owners of
all
the Collateral, except for property which is leased or licensed. The Collateral
now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted
Liens, and Pledgors will at all times defend Agent, the Lenders, and the
Collateral against all claims of others. The value of the Excluded Assets (as
defined in Exhibit A, Section 1.1) for financial statement purposes does not
exceed $1,500,000.
Tax
Returns and Payments.
The
Pledgors have timely filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports
required by applicable law, and the Pledgors have timely paid, and will timely
pay, all applicable taxes, assessments,
deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by them. A Pledgor may,
however, defer payment
of any
contested taxes, provided that Pledgor (i) in good faith contests Pledgor’s
obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently
instituted
and
conducted, (ii) notifies Agent in writing of the commencement of, and any
material development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any
other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon
any
of the Collateral.
Compliance
with Law.
Each
Pledgor has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all
provisions of all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited
to, those relating to the Pledgor’s ownership of real or personal property, the
conduct of the Pledgor’s business, and all environmental matters, except where
the failure to do so would not result in a Material Adverse Change.
Litigation.
Except
as set forth on Exhibit C, there is no claim or litigation pending or (to
Pledgor’s knowledge) threatened against Pledgor. Pledgor will promptly inform
Agent in writing of any claim or litigation in the future which, either
separately or in the aggregate, involves more than $50,000. There is no action,
proceeding or investigation pending, or to Pledgor’s knowledge threatened,
against the Pledgor or its officers, directors or shareholders, or to the best
knowledge of Pledgor, against employees or consultants of Pledgor, or any basis
therefor known to Pledgor, involving the prior employment of any of the
Pledgor’s employees, their use in connection with the Pledgor’s business of any
Intellectual Property of their former employers, or their obligations under
any
agreements with prior employers, which individually or in the aggregate could
result in a Material Adverse Change.
Information.
All
information provided to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Pledgor by a
duly
authorized officer on or prior to the date of this Agreement is true and correct
in all material respects, all information hereafter provided to Agent or any
Lender by or on behalf of Pledgor by a duly authorized officer will be true
and
correct in all material respects, and no representation or other statement
made,
previously, now or hereafter, to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Pledgor
by a duly authorized officer contains or will contain, at the time made, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit, at the time made,
any
material facts necessary to make any statements made to Agent or such Lender
not
misleading at the time made. For the purpose of this paragraph, “information”
means written information that (i) relates to any material aspect of Pledgor’s
business, operations or financial condition, (ii) relates to Collateral, or
(iii) which is provided by the Pledgor to a Lender or Agent pursuant to this
Agreement.
-
5 -
Intellectual
Property.
Pledgor
is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to
all
Intellectual Property necessary for its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted without any conflict with, or infringement with the
rights of, others. The Pledgor has not received any communications alleging
that
it has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any
Intellectual Property of any other Person. Pledgor is not aware that any of
its
employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree, or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere
with the use of such employee's best efforts to promote the interest of Pledgor
or that would conflict with Pledgor’s business as proposed to be conducted.
Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of
the
Pledgor’s business as proposed, will, to the best of the Pledgor’s knowledge
after due inquiry, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions,
or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or
instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. Pledgor does not
believe it is or will be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees
(or persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by
Pledgor. Pledgor is not aware of any violation or infringement by a third party
of any of its Intellectual Property. Pledgor is not aware of any technological
development or product that would have a material adverse effect on its business
or its Intellectual Property. Exhibit C contains a complete list of each
Pledgor’s Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Exhibit C, there are no
outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the
Pledgor’s Intellectual Property, nor is Pledgor bound by or a party to any
options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the Intellectual
Property of any other Person.
Proprietary
Agreements; Employees.
Each
current and former employee and consultant of a Pledgor has executed an
agreement with such Pledgor agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of
proprietary information and agreeing to assign certain inventions to such
Pledgor. No Pledgor is aware that any of its employees or consultants is in
violation thereof and will use its best efforts to prevent any such
violation.
Seniority
and Valid Security Interest.
Except
as set forth on Exhibit G, as of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or equity
is
senior to the Notes in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise other than Indebtedness secured
by
Permitted Liens. This Agreement creates in favor of the Agent for the benefit
of
the Lenders a valid security interest in the Collateral subject only to the
Permitted Liens securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and
upon filing the appropriate financing statements pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code (UCC) the security interest created hereby in any Collateral
which may be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement shall be a first
priority, duly perfected security interest.
-
6 -
SEC
Reports; Financial Statements.
Except
as set forth in Exhibit C, Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms,
statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,
for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the
Company was required by law to file such material) (the foregoing materials,
including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein,
being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC
Reports”)
on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of the filing and
has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.
As
of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or
the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain
all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects
the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
Material
Changes.
Since
the date of the latest financial statements included within the SEC Reports,
except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, (i) there has been no event, occurrence
or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Change, (ii) the Pledgors have not incurred any liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses
incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and
(B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial
statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with
the
Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv)
the
Company has not declared or made any interest or distribution of cash or other
property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements
to or
distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased,
redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital
stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer,
director or Affiliate, except as set forth on Exhibit C. Except for the issuance
of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability or
development has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial
condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under
applicable securities laws.
-
7 -
Disclosure.
Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, the Company confirms that neither it nor any
other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Agent or any of the Lenders
or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material
nonpublic information. The Company understands and confirms that the Agent
and
Lenders will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.
Solvency.
The
Pledgors are not bankrupt and are generally able to pay its debts as they become
due and will be able to do so after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement. The Pledgors do not intend to incur Indebtedness
beyond their ability to pay such Indebtedness as it matures (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of their
Indebtedness). No Pledgor has any knowledge of any facts or circumstances which
leads it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under
the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from
the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all
outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in material default with respect
to
any Indebtedness.
Covenants.
Inspection.
A
designated officer of Agent shall have the right to review Borrower’s books and
records and audit and inspect the Collateral, from time to time, upon seven
days’ notice to Borrower, provided that such inspections shall be limited to two
in any consecutive twelve-month period (but such limit shall not apply to
inspections at the time that any Event of Default or event which, with notice
or
time or both, as set forth in Section 6 hereof, would constitute an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing). Borrower will cause its chief executive
officer and/or chief financial officer to discuss matters concerning the
Pledgors with Agent and to answer its questions concerning the Pledgors upon
seven days’ prior notice. Borrower will reimburse Agent for the reasonable costs
it may incur from time to time in such inspections and review.
Insurance.
The
Pledgors will maintain insurance on the Collateral and their business, in
amounts and of a type that are customary to similar businesses and Agent will
be
named in a lender’s loss payable endorsement in favor of Agent, in form
reasonably acceptable to Agent.

Remedies.
Remedies.
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may (at
its
option), do any one or more of the following, without notice except for such
notices as are required by law and as provided in this Agreement: (a) accelerate
and declare all but not less than all of the Notes and the other Obligations
to
be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred
or
installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any
Obligation; (b) take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it
may
be found, and for that purpose each Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to enter
its
premises without interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store,
or
remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or cause a custodian
to
remain on the premises, without charge by Pledgor in order to complete the
enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; (c)
require each Pledgor to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it
available to Agent at places designated by Agent which are reasonably convenient
to Agent and Pledgor, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Agent
may reasonably deem advisable; (d) complete the processing, manufacturing or
repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose
and for the purpose of removal, Agent shall have the right to use each Pledgor’s
premises, equipment and all other property without charge by Pledgor; (e)
collect, receive, dispose of and realize upon any Investment Property, including
withdrawal of any and all funds from any securities accounts; (f) demand payment
of, and collect any Accounts, General Intangibles or other Collateral and,
in
connection therewith, each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes Agent to endorse
or
sign Pledgor’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other
documents, and, in Agent's good faith business judgment, to grant extensions
of
time to pay, compromise claims and settle accounts, general intangibles and
the
like for less than face value; or (g) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any
of
the Collateral, at one or more public or private sales, in lots or in bulk,
for
cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to adjourn any such sale
from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time
scheduled for sale. Agent shall have the right to conduct such disposition
on a
Pledgor’s premises without charge, should the Collateral be located on such
Pledgor’s premises, at such time or times as Agent deems reasonable, or on
Agent's premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the
place of disposition. Each Pledgor recognizes that Agent may be unable to make
a
public sale of any or all of the Investment Property, by reasons of prohibitions
contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees
that
a private sale of any or all of the Investment Property for which public sale
is
prohibited to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with
a
view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable
sale. All reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and
obligations incurred by Agent with respect to the foregoing shall be added
to
and become part of the Obligations, and shall be due on demand.
-
13 -
Application
of Proceeds.
All
proceeds realized as the result of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral shall be applied by Agent in the following order: (i) to the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees
incurred by Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, (ii)
to
pay the Additional Amount (as defined in Section 11(e)), pro rata, to any Lender
entitled thereto pursuant to Section 11(e), (iii) to any Foreclosure Costs,
including Excess Costs (as defined in Section 11(e)) that have been paid or
reimbursed by any Lender, (iv) to the interest due upon any of the Obligations,
and (v) to the principal of the Obligations. Any surplus shall be paid to the
Pledgors or other Persons legally entitled thereto; the Pledgors shall remain
liable to the Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent, in its good faith business
judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit
transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have
the
option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion, 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 the cash
therefor.
Set-Off.
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender
is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, except as
expressly set forth below), to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective
of
whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such Lender’s Note and although such obligations may be unmatured.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent)
after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which each such Lender
may have.
Remedies
Cumulative.
In
addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement relating to
the
Notes, with respect to the Notes only Agent shall have all the other rights
and
remedies accorded a secured party under
the
California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other applicable laws, and
under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into
between Agent, Lenders and Pledgors, and all of such rights and remedies
relating to the Notes are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial
exercise by Agent of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not be deemed
an election, nor bar Agent or any Lender from subsequent
exercise
or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of
Agent or any Lender to exercise any such rights or remedies shall not operate
as
a waiver thereof, but all such rights and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect
until
all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed. No Event of Default
or exercise of rights or remedies as a result thereof shall affect any Lender’s
other rights under this Agreement, his Note or the Warrants, all of which shall
continue in full force and effect.
-14-
Power
of Attorney.
After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor
irrevocably appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s designated employees or agents)
as its true and lawful attorney in fact to: endorse its name on any checks
or
other forms of payment; make, settle and adjust all claims under and decisions
with respect to its policies of insurance; settle and adjust disputes and claims
respecting Accounts, General Intangibles and other Collateral; execute and
deliver all notices, instruments and agreements in connection with the
perfection of the security interest granted in this Agreement; for the sole
purpose of enforcing its rights under this Agreement, sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Collateral; and take any other action or
sign
any other documents required to be taken or signed by Pledgor, or reasonably
necessary to enforce Agent’s rights or remedies or otherwise carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. The appointment of Agent as Pledgor’s attorney in
fact, and each of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable until all Obligations owing to the Lenders have been paid and
performed in full.
Waivers
and Amendments.
The
failure of Agent (so long as the Agent has authority pursuant to Section 11(a))
or any Lender at any time or times to require Pledgors to strictly comply with
any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other present
or future agreement between Pledgors and Agent or any Lender shall not waive
or
diminish any right of Agent or any Lender later to demand and receive strict
compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any
other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar.
So
long
as the Agent has authority pursuant to Section 11(a), no amendment,
modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any
Loan Document to which any Pledgor is a party, nor consent to any departure
by
any Pledgor from this Agreement or any Loan Document to which it is a party,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, provided,
however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Agent and the Requisite Lenders, do any of the following: (i)
reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes, or any fees hereunder,
or
modify any provisions relating to conversion of the Notes, or any other economic
terms of the Notes; (ii) change any date fixed for any payment of principal
of,
or interest on, the Notes or any fees thereunder or hereunder; (iii) change
the
percentage of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes which shall be required
for the Lenders or any of then to take action hereunder; or (iv) amend, modify
or waive any provision of this Section, and provided further than no amendment,
waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition
to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties
of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. After the
Agent’s authority terminates pursuant to Section 11(a), neither this Agreement,
nor any term hereof, may be amended, waived or terminated except by a written
instrument signed by the Pledgors and the Requisite Lenders, and any such
amendment, waiver or termination shall be binding on all Lenders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall have the right, without the
consent of the other Lenders, to agree to any modification or amendment to
its
Warrants or Note, but such Lender shall give prompt written notice of the same
to the other Lenders and Agent, and the Borrower, on request of any other Lender
shall enter into the same modification or amendment with such other Lender
as to
its Warrants or Note.
-15-
Each
Pledgor waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default
or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, general intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Agent or any Lender on which it is or may in any way be liable, and notice
of
any action taken by Agent or any Lender, unless expressly required by this
Agreement.

Borrower shall reimburse Agent, on demand, for all of the following ("Costs"):
all reasonable attorneys' fees and all reasonable and customary filing,
recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other costs incurred
by Agent, pursuant to, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement or
its
enforcement (whether or not any lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited
to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs Agent incurs relating to the
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the documents relating to
this
Agreement. Agent shall provide an itemized statement of Costs to Borrower,
if so
requested by Borrower. If either Agent, a Lender or a Pledgor files any lawsuit
against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing
party
in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs, including
(but
not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
Each Pledgor shall indemnify Agent and the Lenders for any losses, claims,
actions, causes of action, penalties, and reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), which Agent or any other Lender may
sustain or incur based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement,
any
of the Obligations, any of the Loans, or any other present or future documents
or agreements relating hereto or contemplated hereby, except any such amounts
sustained or incurred as the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the person to be indemnified or any of its directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys, or any other person affiliated with or
representing such person. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full
force
and effect.

Agency
Provisions.
Authorization
and Action.
Subject
to the last sentence of this subsection (a) and the provisions of Section 11(f)
hereof, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to
take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including the power to take any
action, or refrain from taking any action, in its sole and absolute discretion
as to any matter that may arise under this Agreement or the Loan Documents
as to
which the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders are not given express authority
hereunder. The Agent shall not by reason of this Agreement be deemed a trustee
or fiduciary for any Lender. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities
except those expressly set forth herein. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement, the Agent may exercise its discretion as
aforesaid or may, at its sole option, take any action, or refrain from acting
(and shall be fully protected in so acting or so refraining from acting) upon
the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided
however,
that the
Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent’s good faith
judgment, exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable law. All action, decisions and instructions of the
Agent
in accordance with this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon all
of
the Lenders and holders of Notes and their successors and assigns and Borrower
shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction, notice or decision of the Agent
made in accordance with this Agreement. The authority of the Agent granted
hereby shall terminate on such date as all of the Notes are paid in full or
converted into equity securities of the Borrower and all other monetary
Obligations are paid in full.
-17-
Liability
of Agent.
Neither
the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
liable to any Lender or to any Pledgor for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement (including,
without limitation, any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default) in the absence of its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent (1) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof
signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (2) may consult
with

action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with
the

representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for
any
statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement; (4) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the

Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
perfection, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement or any other instrument
or
document furnished pursuant thereto; and (6) shall incur no liability to any
Lender or to any Pledgor under or in respect to this Agreement by acting upon
any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing (which may
be
sent by telegram, telex, or facsimile transmission) believed by it to be genuine
and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Rights
of Agent as a Lender.
With
respect to the Loans made by it or its Affiliates and the Note issued to it
or
its Affiliates, the Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent or its Affiliates in their
individual capacities. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in
any
kind of business with, the Borrower, and any Person who may do business with
or
own securities of the Borrower, all as if the Agent were not the Agent and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders expressly
acknowledge and understand that Affiliates of the Agent are shareholders of
the
Company and one such Affiliate is serving as a consultant to
Borrower.
-18-
Independent
Credit Decisions.
Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own
credit or investment decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents
and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent
hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition
or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the
possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Indemnification.
The
Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, ratably according to the respective
amounts of the original principal amount of the Notes issued to them pursuant
to
this Agreement, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of any of the foregoing
resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, and without relieving any Pledgor of its
obligations pursuant to Section 9, if Borrower has not reimbursed Agent in
full
for its Costs pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement within ten (10) Business
Days of demand therefore by Agent, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent
promptly upon demand for its ratable share of (i) any Costs, other than Costs
incurred in connection with a sale or disposition of Collateral pursuant to
Section 7 hereof (“Foreclosure Costs”), not reimbursed by Borrower up to $25,000
in the aggregate for all Lenders, and (ii) Foreclosure Costs not reimbursed
by
Borrower up to $50,000 (less any amounts reimbursed pursuant to clause (i)
(the
“Maximum Indemnity”) in the aggregate for all Lenders. Any Lender (a
“Participating Lender”) who voluntarily reimburses Agent for any Foreclosure
Costs that exceed the Maximum Indemnity (“Excess Costs”) shall receive, to the
extent of any proceeds realized pursuant to Section 7 and in addition to
reimbursement of such Excess Costs pursuant to Section 7(b)(iii), such
Participating Lender’s pro rata share (based on the total Excess Costs
reimbursed by all Participating Lenders) of the amount of Excess Costs that
would have been paid by non-Participating Lenders to reimburse Agent had all
Lenders paid their ratable share (based on the principal amount of the Notes
held by all Lenders) of all Excess Costs (the “Additional Amount”) in accordance
with Section 7(b)(ii) hereof. The indemnity set forth in this Section 11(e)
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full
force
and effect.
-19-
Removal;
Successor Agent.
The
Agent may be removed at any time upon the written consent of the Requisite
Lenders, provided that the Requisite Lenders concurrently appoint a successor
Agent (who shall have accepted such appointment) and give prompt notice thereof
to Borrower. The Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 60 days’ prior
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 and
mutually acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower, with the Borrower’s consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
removed or resigning Agent, and the removed or resigning Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any
Agent’s removal or resignation, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement.
Sharing
of Payments, Etc.
If any
Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Note held
by
it, other than a payment made in accordance with Section 1(c) of this Agreement,
in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Notes obtained
by
all the Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Notes held by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other
Lenders, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender
shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal
to
such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of
such Lender’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to
such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.
-20-
Representations,
Warranties and Agreements of the Lenders.
Each
of
the Lenders represents and warrants to Borrower and, as to Section 12(a)(1)
only, to Agent, as of the Closing Date and as of the date any Lender acquires
the Units, the Note, the Warrants, the securities issuable upon conversion
of
the Note (the “Conversion Securities”) and any Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants or upon exercise or conversion of the Conversion
Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) as follows:

it to execute and deliver and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and
all
other documents or instruments required hereby.

a
view to the distribution thereof. Each of the Lenders agrees that it will not
sell or transfer any of the Securities without registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws, or the availability of exemptions therefrom.
Each of the Lenders agrees that the documents evidencing the Securities will
each bear a restrictive legend stating that the Securities represented thereby
have not been registered under applicable federal and state securities laws
and
referring to restrictions on their transferability and sale.
(3) It
is an
“accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) and

hereunder, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment and further
acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risk of this investment.
During the course of this transaction and prior to the sale to the Lenders
of
the Units hereunder, it acknowledges that it had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, management of the Borrower concerning
the terms and conditions of this investment and to obtain any additional
information of the same kind that is specified in Rule 502 of Regulation D
of

information obtained. It has received such information as it

Restrictions
on Disposition.
Without
in any way limiting the representations set forth in Section 12(a) above, each
Lender further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of
the
Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit
of Borrower to be bound by this Section 12, and in addition thereto, one of
the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) there is then in effect a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (ii)
such
Lender shall have (A) notified Borrower of the proposed disposition and shall
have furnished Borrower with a detailed statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition and (B) if reasonably requested by
Borrower, furnished Borrower with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory
to Borrower, that such disposition will not require registration of such
securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that Borrower will
not
require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except
in unusual circumstances.
-21-
Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.
This
Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations
of Agent, Lenders and the Pledgors shall be governed by the internal laws (and
not the conflict of laws rules) of the State of California. Any dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement shall be determined solely and exclusively
by a retired superior or federal court judge acting as a referee (“Judge”)
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or any other similar
or applicable law) (the “Reference”). Borrower and Agent shall mutually agree
upon a Judge. If the parties are unable to agree within ten (10) Business Days,
either Agent or Borrower, upon three Business Days advance notice to the other,
shall be entitled to file an application with Presiding Judge of the Los
Angeles County
Superior Court requesting the appointment of a Judge.
Any
decision of the Judge shall contain a reasoned statement of decision explaining
the basis for the decision and shall be enforceable in the Los Angeles Superior
Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction. The resulting judgment
of
the court shall be subject to appeal and all other rights, remedies and motions
that apply with respect to a judgment of a court.
While
the
Reference is proceeding, Lenders on the one hand, for their ratable share,
and
Borrower, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the Judge’s charges for
the Judge’s services, but the Judge is vested with the discretion to allocate
such charges among the parties as the Judge deems fit in the Judge’s final
written decision. In the exercise of such jurisdiction, the Judge shall have,
and the parties hereby vest in the Judge, the authority to award attorneys’ fees
and costs to the prevailing party. As used herein, “attorneys’ fees” means the
full and actual cost of any legal services actually performed in connection
with
the matter for which fees are sought, based upon the usual and customary fees
charged by the attorneys performing such services, and shall not be limited
to
“reasonable attorneys’ fees” as that term may be used in statutory or decisional
law.
General.
Should
any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of
this
Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement and
such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed
in
connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between the
Pledgors, Lenders and Agent and supersede all prior and contemporaneous
negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged
and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral understandings,
representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in
this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in
connection herewith. Subject to Section 12(b), any Lender may assign all or
any
part of its interest in the Notes and this Agreement and the Obligations to
any
person or entity, or grant a participation in, or security interest in, any
interest in this Agreement or the Notes, without notice to, or consent of,
Borrower. No Pledgor may assign any obligation, right under or interest in
this
Agreement or the Loan Documents without the Agent’s prior written consent. This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective
parties’ heirs, executors, administrators, permitted assigns and successors.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement.
Facsimile signature pages shall be deemed to be originals.
-22-
Termination
of Security Interest.
Upon all
of the Notes being paid in full or converted into securities of the Borrower
as
provided therein, and payment in full of all other monetary Obligations, the
security interest granted pursuant to Section 2 shall terminate and the Agent
and the Lenders shall take all such actions as Borrower shall reasonably request
to evidence the termination of all security interests granted to Agent and
the
Lenders including delivery of the certificates representing the Pledged
Securities and related stock powers to the Borrower and filing UCC-3 termination
statements with each public office at which UCC-1 financing statements were
previously filed.
Termination
of Certain Provisions.
Except
to the extent that representations are made as of the date(s) that any Lender
Securities are issued pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3, all
representations in Section 3 shall cease to be continuing and Pledgors’
obligations pursuant to Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) and 10(b) of
this
Agreement, shall terminate on the date all of the Notes are paid in full or
converted in full.
Survival.
The
representations, warranties and covenants of the Pledgors and the Lenders
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution
and
delivery of this Agreement, any Closing Date, and any conversion of the Notes
for so long as the applicable statute of limitations.
Separate
Counsel.
The
Agent’s attorney has been involved in the preparation and negotiation of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents on behalf of the Agent as such and as a Lender.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) such counsel does not represent
or owe any duties to any party, other than Agent, in the absence of a clear
and
explicit written agreement to such effect between such party and such counsel;
(ii) the undersigned has had an adequate and meaningful opportunity to review
and discuss this Agreement and the Loan Documents with legal counsel of his
own
choosing; and (iii) no drafting inferences will be made for or against any
party
in connection with the interpretation or construction of this Agreement or
the
Loan Documents.
