Terms Of Payment.
2.1 Credit
Extensions.
Borrower
promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by
Bank to Borrower hereunder. Borrower shall also pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with
the terms hereof.
(a) Revolving
Advances.
(i)
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not
to exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing
Base. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts
borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and re-borrowed at any
time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this
Section 2.1(a) shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower may
prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.
(ii) Whenever
Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission
or telephone no later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day that the
Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly
confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto. Borrower will deliver copies of invoices in connection with
any Advance request and all supporting documents, plus transaction files for all
invoices and payment application in an electronic format acceptable to Bank for
processing. Documents received by 11:00 a.m. California time on
accounts acceptable to Bank will be processed on the same Business
Day. Documents received after then will be processed on the next
Business Day. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this
Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a
designee of a Responsible 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 Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible
Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank
harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such
reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this
Section to Borrower’s deposit account.
2.2 Overadvances. If
the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the
Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay
to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and
Calculations.
(a) Interest
Rates.
(i)
Advances. Except as
set forth in Section 2.3(b), and subject to Section 2.3(a)(ii) below, the
Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a
rate equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) above the Prime
Rate. In no event, however, shall such rate be less than eight
percent (8.0%) per annum, irrespective of the Prime Rate.
(ii) Minimum
Interest. Irrespective of the amount of Advances outstanding
from time to time, Borrower shall pay Bank a minimum interest payment of not
less than Twenty Four Thousand Dollars ($24,000) per quarter (the “Minimum
Interest Payment”). Any payments of interest actually made by
Borrower during each calendar quarter shall be credited to the Minimum Interest
Payment required to be paid for such quarter. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this Section 2.3(a)(ii) to the contrary, if Bank
determines that the conditions precedent to the occurrence of the Revolving Line
Step-Up Date (as set forth in the definition of the term “Revolving Line Step-Up
Date”) will not occur, then from and after such determination the Minimum
Interest Payment shall be reduced to Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000) per
calendar quarter. At Borrower’s written request, Bank shall make such
determination within ten (10) business days after Bank has received the last of
the documents referenced in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in the definition of the
term “Revolving Line Step-Up Date.” The Minimum Interest Payment
shall be prorated (on the basis of a 90-day quarter) for each calendar quarter
based on the date that Bank determines that the Revolving Line Step-Up Date will
not occur. By way of example, if on May 31, 2009, Bank determines
that the conditions to the Revolving Line Step-Up Date will not occur, then for
the calendar quarter commencing April 1, 2009, and ending June 30, 2009, for the
period within such quarter from April 1, 2009, through May 31, 2009, the Minimum
Interest Payment would be $16,000 (i.e., $24,000 x 60 days/90 days), and for the
period within such quarter beginning June 1, 2009, and ending June 30, 2009, the
Minimum Interest Payment would be $2,666.67 (i.e., $8,000 x 30 days/90
days).
(b) Late Fee; Default
Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after
the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the
lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the
maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All
Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage
points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of
the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Interest
hereunder shall be due and payable on the last business day of each month during
the term hereof. Minimum Interest Payments shall be due and payable
on the last business day of each quarter during the term hereof. Bank
shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Minimum Interest Payments, all
Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit
accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the
Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any
taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank
will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless
of source of payment.
(d) Lockbox. Borrower
shall cause all account debtors to wire any amounts owing to Borrower to such
account (the “Collateral Account”) as Bank shall specify, and to mail all
payments made by check to a post office box under Bank ’s
control. All invoices shall specify such post office box as the
payment address. Bank shall have sole authority to collect such
payments and deposit them to the Collateral Account. If
Borrower receives any amount despite such instructions, Borrower shall
immediately deliver such payment to Bank in the form received, except for an
endorsement to the order of Bank and, pending such delivery, shall hold such
payment in trust for Bank. One (1) Business Day after clearance of
any checks, Bank shall credit all amounts paid into the Collateral Account
first, against any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line, and then, of
any remaining balance of such amount, to Borrower’s operating
account. Borrower shall enter into such lockbox agreement as Bank
shall reasonably request from time to time. Bank will provide reports
of invoice entry and payment to Borrower on each Business Day, and will from
time to time deliver a detailed aging of open invoices upon Borrower’s
request.
(e) Computation. In the
event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate
of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day
the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime
Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting
Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank
shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such
deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
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 a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead
be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case
may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension.

Creation of
Security Interest.
4.1 Grant of Security
Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing
security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising
Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in
order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and
duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule,
such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in
the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority
security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation
Required. Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver
to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing
statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form
satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank’s security
interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the
transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrower from
time to time may deposit with Bank specific time deposit accounts to secure
specific Obligations. Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge
and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any
other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long
as the Obligations are outstanding.
4.3 Right to
Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or
agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time

order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.
5.2 Due Authorization; No
Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan
Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not
in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in
Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an
event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by
which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any
material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
5.3 No Prior
Encumbrances. Borrower has good and marketable title to its
property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the
rights of any third party. Except as set forth in the Schedule,
Borrower’s rights as a 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 product or service. Except as set forth in the
Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts

provide Bank on a quarterly basis a listing of the names of all customers in
possession of such product, a description of the product, and the value of such
product.

as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending by or
against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency in

financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such
financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.10 Solvency, Payment of
Debts. Borrower is solvent and able to pay its debts
(including trade debts) as they mature.
5.11 Regulatory
Compliance. Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject

(a) If
Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7,

and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition or covenant
that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within twenty days after
Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware
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
within such twenty day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a
reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which
shall not in any case exceed 30 days) to attempt to cure such default, and
within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall
not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be
made.

Effect. If there occurs a Material Adverse
Effect;

portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or

rescinded within twenty (20) days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in
any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material
part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or

instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental
agency, and the same is not paid within twenty (20) days after Borrower receives

Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by
Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is

Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to perform

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 Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or which could have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Event of Default
under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other
agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Bank
receiving written notice from the party asserting such default that such default
has been fully cured or that such party has unconditionally waived the default
under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such
other agreement (a) Bank has not declared an Event of Default under this
Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (b) any such cure or
waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this
Agreement or any Loan Document; and (c) in connection with any such cure or
waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third

induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.
8.9 Guaranty. If
any guaranty of all or a portion of the Obligations (a “Guaranty”) ceases for
any reason to be in full force and effect, or any guarantor fails to perform any
obligation under any Guaranty or a security agreement securing any Guaranty
(collectively, the “Guaranty Documents”), or any event of default occurs under
any Guaranty Document or any guarantor revokes or purports to revoke a Guaranty,
or any material misrepresentation or material misstatement exists now or
hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth in any Guaranty Document
or in any certificate delivered to Bank in connection with any Guaranty
Document, or if any of the circumstances described in Sections 8.3 through 8.8
occur with respect to any guarantor or any guarantor dies or becomes subject to
any criminal prosecution, or any circumstances arise causing Bank, in good
faith, to become insecure as to the satisfaction of any of any guarantor’s
obligations under the Guaranty Documents.
9.
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);
(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.
9.3 Accounts
Collection. At any time after the occurrence 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 6.6 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
Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking
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; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of 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.
9.6 Remedies
Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all 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
election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall
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 unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given.
9.7 Demand;
Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
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 at
any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
10. Notices.
Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party
relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection
herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other
informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid)
shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery
service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by
