WHEREAS, Borrowers have agreed to secure all of their obligations under the Loan Documents by
granting to Lender a security interest in and lien upon the Collateral (as defined below);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Accounting And Other Terms
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations
and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes
and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without

2. Loan And Terms Of Payment
2.1 Credit Extensions.
Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, promise to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of

case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender shall make Advances under the
Committed
Revolving Line to Borrowers from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date. Until the
Commitment Termination Date and subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent in
Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, Borrowers may borrow,
-1-
repay, and reborrow under this Section 2.1.1; provided, that the aggregate amount of
the Advances to be made shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line and (ii)
amounts available under the Borrowing Base at any time, in each case, minus the outstanding
Advances. The proceeds of the Advances shall be used solely for working capital and other general
business requirements of Borrowers.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4, interest on each Advance shall be
paid in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any
Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon payment
(including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be
due and payable on the Commitment Termination Date.
(c) To obtain an Advance, a Borrower must follow the procedures set forth in
Section 3.3(a).
(d) Lender’s obligation to make Advances terminates on the Commitment Termination
Date, when
all Advances are immediately payable.
(e) Borrowers shall pay interest accrued on the Advances at the rates and in the manner
set
forth in Section 2.2.1(a).
(f) If the aggregate amount of the Advances under this Section 2.1.1,
exceeds the lesser of
(i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) amounts available under the Borrowing Base at any time,
Borrowers must pay Lender the excess within 3 days.
2.1.2 Term Loan.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make, and Borrowers
agree to
borrow, a term loan on the Closing Date (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in the amount of the
Term Loan Commitment. Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to repay the Term Loan, together
with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.2.1(b), in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used solely for working capital and other
general business requirements of Borrowers.
(b) The Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan in forty-eight (48) equal, consecutive
monthly
installments of principal plus interest on the first day of each month commencing November 1, 2006,
and ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date. At any time, the Borrowers may prepay amounts due and
owing under the Term Loan together with a prepayment fee equal to the following percentage of the
amount prepaid: if the Term Loan amounts are prepaid in any of the first 12 months following the
Closing Date, 5.0%; in months 13 — 24, 3.0%; in months 25 — 36, 0.5%; and thereafter, 0.0%.
Prepayments shall be applied to scheduled principal repayments in inverse order of their maturity.
The prepayment fee described above shall also apply upon acceleration of the Term Loan pursuant to
Section 9.1(a).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Term
Loan shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Term Loan Maturity
Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed.

2.2 Interest Rates; Limitations.
2.2.1 Interest Rates. Borrowers shall pay interest to Lender in arrears on each applicable
Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (a) with respect to the Advances, each Advance
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until paid
in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus one percent (1.0%), and (b) with respect to
the Term Loan, the Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the date when made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus three percent
(3.00%); provided, however, that such Term Loan rate shall be irrevocably decreased
to the Base Rate plus 2 percent (2.00%) on the last day of the second consecutive quarter in which
PlanetOut and its Subsidiaries achieve a consolidated EBITDA of at least Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). After an Event of Default occurs and so long as such Event of
Default continues, including after an acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(a)
(whether before or after entry of judgment to the extent permitted by law), Obligations shall
accrue interest at two percent (2.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of
Default. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.2.1 is not a
permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default
or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
2.2.2 Limitations on Interest Rates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest rate laws. If any
payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made hereunder or under
any of the Loan Documents are held to be in excess of the applicable limits imposed by any
applicable federal or state law, the amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of
principal under the Advances and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall be reduced by such amount
in the inverse order of maturity so that the total liability for payments in the nature of
interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by
any applicable federal or state interest rate laws.
2.2.3 General Provisions. Payments received after 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) are considered
received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest
accrue.
2.3 Fees.
Borrower shall pay:
(a) Fees. A fully earned, non-refundable fee equal to (i) $75,000 (the “Term
Loan Fee”) on
the Closing Date and (ii) $37,500 (the “Revolving Line Fee”) on the first anniversary of the
Closing Date.
(b) Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
reasonable
expenses) incurred (i) through the date of this Agreement, as requested by Lender, on the Closing
Date and, (ii) thereafter, within 5 business days of the
-3-
delivery of a reasonably detailed invoice by Lender. Any Lender Expenses not paid in
accordance with the foregoing shall bear interest at the then applicable Base Rate.

(b) Borrowers shall have delivered a good standing certificate of each Borrower from

Lender’s obligation to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is
subject to the condition precedent that the following shall have been satisfied, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender:
(a) for Advances, the timely receipt of a Notice of Borrowing;
(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be true on the date
of a Notice of
Borrowing and on each Funding Date or the date any other Credit Extension is made, except for those
representations and warranties that expressly refer to another date, which shall be true, accurate

3.3 Procedure for the Borrowing of Advances.
(a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making
of an
Advance set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 for Advances made on the
Closing Date and Section 3.2 for all Advances, each Advance shall be made upon the Borrowers’
irrevocable written notice delivered to Lender in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, executed by a
Responsible Officer of each requesting Borrower. Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by
a person whom Lender believes is a Responsible Officer. Borrowers shall indemnify Lender for any
loss Lender suffers due to such reliance. Unless waived by Lender, such Notice of Borrowing must
be received by Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the requested Funding Date specifying:
(i) the amount of the Advance, which shall be in an
aggregate minimum principal amount of
$250,000 or in any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and
(ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business

(b) The proceeds of all such Advances will then be made available on the Funding Date to
the
Borrower requesting such Advance by Lender as instructed by Borrower.
3.4 Calculation of Interest and Fees.
Interest on the Credit Extensions, and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such
interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of such
Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided,
however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such
day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Each change in the interest
rate of the Advances based on changes in the Base Rate shall be effective on the effective date of
such change and to the extent of such change.
4. Creation Of Security Interest
4.1 Grant of Security Interest.
Each Borrower grants Lender a continuing security interest in all of such Borrower’s presently
existing and later acquired Collateral to secure the payment of all Obligations and the performance
of each Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, Lender’s security
interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. So long as
-5-
Lender is committed to make any Advances hereunder or any Obligations remain outstanding, Lender’s
lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue.
4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements.
Borrowers authorize Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Borrowers, with all
appropriate jurisdictions, as Lender deems reasonably necessary, in order to protect or perfect
Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.
4.3 Termination.
Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and
the cancellation or termination of any commitment to extend credit or make Advances under this
Agreement, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to Borrowers, and Lender shall immediately return all Collateral to Borrowers. Upon
such termination, Lender hereby authorizes Borrowers, at Borrowers’ expense, to file any UCC
termination statement necessary to effect such termination, and Lender shall promptly execute and
deliver to Borrowers any additional documents or instruments as Borrowers reasonably request to
evidence such termination and shall promptly notify any banks at which Borrowers’ accounts have
been pledged to Lender pursuant to control agreements that such agreements should be immediately
terminated.
5. Representations And Warranties
Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing in its state of
formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which
the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except
where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and
do not conflict with Borrower’s Operating Documents, nor constitute an event of default under any
material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to
which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.
5.2 Collateral.
Borrower has good title to its Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has
no other Deposit Account, other than the Deposit Accounts described in the Disclosure Schedule.
Except as disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule, the Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations,
and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for
immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is
maintained at the locations set forth in the Disclosure Schedule. Except as described in the
Disclosure Schedule as of the Closing Date hereof, the Collateral is not in the
-6-
possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after
the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower
shall receive the prior written consent of Lender, and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that
the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Lender. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of
its Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the
ordinary course of business.
5.3 Accounts.
(a) Representations Relating to Accounts. Each Account with respect to which Advances
are
requested by Borrowers represents, on the date each Advance is requested and made, an undisputed
(to the best of the relevant Borrower’s Knowledge) bona fide existing unconditional obligation of
the account debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of
services, or the non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property, in the ordinary course of
Borrower’s business. No Borrower has Knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of
any of its account debtors whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base
Certificate.
(b) Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. All statements made and
all
unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts
are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of
the Borrower’s Books are and shall be genuine. All sales and other transactions underlying or
giving rise to each Account comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations
except for any failure to comply that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change. To the best of Borrower’s Knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all
documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are genuine, and all such
documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their
terms.
5.4 Litigation.
Except as shown in the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender
pursuant to Section 6.2(a), there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of
Borrower, threatened against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.5 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.
All consolidated financial statements for Borrower delivered to Lender fairly present in all
material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results
of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial
condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender.
5.6 Solvency.
The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs)
exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital
after
-7-
the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade
debts) as they mature.
5.7 Regulatory Compliance.
Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in
extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which would
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or its Subsidiary or, to the best of
Borrower’s Knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or
transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has
generally timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all
material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP.
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of,
made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that
are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so
would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments.
Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for
Permitted Investments.
5.9 Full Disclosure.
No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or
written statement given to Lender (taken together with all such written certificates and written
statements to Lender and with PlanetOut’s periodic filings on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading. Lender recognizes that the
projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions
are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such
projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

(b) Comply, and have each of its Subsidiaries comply, with all laws, ordinances and

(b) Disputes. Notify Lender promptly of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts to
the
extent such disputes or claims exceed (i) $25,000 individually or (ii) $175,000 in the aggregate at
any given time. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any
Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower
may do so, provided that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable
manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm’s length transactions, which are reported to
Lender on the regular reports provided to Lender; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing; and (iii) taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness,
the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or
amounts available under the Borrowing Base.
6.4 Inventory.
Keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, and free from material defects. Returns
and allowances between Borrower and its account debtors shall follow Borrower’s customary practices
as they exist at execution of this Agreement.
6.5 Taxes.
Make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state, and
local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good
faith, with adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to Lender, on
demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment.
6.6 Insurance.
Borrowers shall, at all times, insure all of the Collateral and carry such other business
insurance, with St. Xxxx Travelers Companies or other insurers reasonably acceptable to
-10-
Lender, in such form and amounts as Lender may reasonably require (it being acknowledged that
Lender approves Borrowers’ insurance coverage as in effect as of the Closing Date and accordingly
does not require any changes or additions to such coverage as of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that Borrowers may need to adjust insurance coverage in the
future pursuant to this Section 6.6), and Borrowers shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Lender, so that Lender is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect.
Such insurance shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage,
personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification
agreement found in Section 13.2. Borrowers shall deliver insurance endorsements showing Lender as
an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, and that Lender will be provided at least
twenty (20) days notice of cancellation of any policy. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, proceeds payable under any policy will, at Lender’s option, be payable to Lender on
account of the Obligations. If any Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Lender may,
but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrowers’ expense. Each Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Lender copies of all reports made to insurance companies.
6.7 Financial Covenants.
Maintain an Adjusted EBITDA as set forth on Schedule 6.7.
6.8 Further Assurances.
Execute any further instruments and take further action as Lender reasonably requests to
perfect or continue Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this
Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrowers shall provide Lender with advance notice
of the LPI Payoff and, concurrently with the LPI Payoff, deliver an executed Pledge Agreement
amendment and an executed IP Security Agreement, in each case in form, substance and manner
necessary, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, to perfect Lender’s security interest in the
Specified SpecPub Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral. Upon the LPI Payoff, Lender
shall be authorized to file a financing statement showing SpecPub as debtor and an amendment to
Lender’s existing financing statement showing PlanetOut as debtor to perfect Lender’s security
interest in the Specified SpecPub Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral. Upon the LPI
Payoff, PlanetOut shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the
“Pledged Collateral” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement dated November 8, 2005 between PlanetOut
and Lipo Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a LPI Media, Inc.) and Speco Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a SpecPub,
Inc.) (the “SpecPub Pledge Agreement”)) pursuant to Section 19 of the SpecPub Pledge Agreement and,
promptly upon such return, shall deliver any stock certificates representing such Pledged
Collateral, together with signed and undated stock powers, to Lender.
6.9 Subsidiaries.
Notify Lender of each Subsidiary formed subsequent to the Closing Date, as otherwise permitted
hereunder, and, within 30 days of formation, shall cause any such Subsidiary to execute and deliver
to Lender a joinder agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, unless Borrowers can
reasonably demonstrate to Lender that to do so would cause a Borrower
-11-
material, adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 956 (or any successor
statute).
6.10 Stock Certificate Delivery.
Deliver to Lender, on or before November 15, 2006, all stock certificates representing the
“Pledged Shares” (as such term is defined in that certain Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, made by PlanetOut USA in favor of Lender), together with signed and undated stock powers.
7. Negative Covenants

Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (c) of worn-out or obsolete

which are not Borrowers with a fair market value not to exceed the Downstream Amount during any
fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries Transfer any Intellectual Property nor (ii) any Transfers be made to SpecPub until the
LPI Payoff and Lender’s Lien in the Specified SpecPub Collateral is perfected in accordance with
Section 6.8, in each case excepting licensing of Intellectual Property as more particularly

warehouses) in which such Borrower maintains or stores over $5,000 of Collateral (except for sales
offices or other offices in which no more than 5 persons are employed).
7.4 Change in Control.
Undergo a Change in Control. A “Change in Control” means any event, transaction, or occurrence
as a result of which (a) any “person” (as such term is defined in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a
-12-
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of PlanetOut, is

directly or indirectly, of securities of PlanetOut, representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the
combined voting power of PlanetOut’s then outstanding securities; or (b) during any period of
twelve consecutive calendar months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the
Board of Directors of PlanetOut (together with any new directors whose election by the Board of
Directors of PlanetOut was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in

Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any
Affiliate of any Borrower except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of such
Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than
would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.
7.10 Deposit Accounts.
Maintain any Deposit Accounts, or accounts holding Investment Property, (i) located in the United
States of America, in which Lender does not have a perfected security interest, except for those

Section 7.12 hereof and (ii) located outside the United States of America, holding cash or

Line Encumbrance Threshold”).
7.13 PNO Liquidity.
Allow (i) DSW to have more than $250,000 in unrestricted cash at any given time;
provided, however, DSW may exceed such amounts by up to an additional $250,000 in

DSW; and (ii) all Subsidiaries that are not a Borrower to have more than $150,000 in unrestricted
cash in the aggregate, at any given time.
8. Events Of Default
Any one of the following is an Event of Default:
8.1 Payment Default.
If any Borrower fails to pay (a) the principal of any Credit Extension on the date when such
payment is due, or (b) the interest portion or any other Obligations within three (3) days after
such amounts become due. During any cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not an
Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);
8.2 Covenant Default.
If any Borrower fails to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.6 or 6.7 or violates any
covenant in Section 7; or
-14-
If any Borrower fails to perform or observe any other material term, condition or covenant in
this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement between such Borrower and Lender and as to
any default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within
ten (10) days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within ten (10) days or cannot be
cured after such Borrower’s attempts to cure such default within the ten (10) day period, and the
default may be cured within a reasonable time, then such Borrower has an additional period (of not
more than thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure the default. During the additional cure period, the
failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made
during any cure period);
8.3 Material Adverse Change.
If a Material Adverse Change occurs;
8.4 Attachment.
If any material portion of any Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into
possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in ten (10)
Business Days, or if any Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from
conducting a material part of its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a
material portion of any Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed
against any material portion of any Borrower’s assets by any government agency and is not paid
within ten (10) Business Days after such Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default
if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by such Borrower (but no Credit Extensions will be
made while (a) the stay is in effect, or (b) such Borrower contests the action, whichever is
applicable);
8.5 Insolvency.
If any Borrower becomes insolvent or if any Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding or an
Insolvency Proceeding is begun against any Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within sixty
(60) days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);
8.6 Other Agreements.
If there is a default in any agreement between any Borrower and a third party that gives the
third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding $200,000 or that would reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change;
8.7 Judgments.
If a nonappealable money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $100,000 is rendered against
any Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for thirty (30) days (but no Credit Extensions will be
made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or
8.8 Misrepresentations.
-15-
If any Borrower or any Person acting for any Borrower makes any material misrepresentation or
material misstatement of any material fact at the time made now or later in any warranty or
representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Lender to induce Lender to enter
this Agreement or any Loan Document.
9. Lender’s Rights And Remedies
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or
all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default
described
in Section 8.5 occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by
Lender);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this
Agreement
or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Lender;
(c) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its
security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will assemble the Collateral if Lender requires and
make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located,
take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or
compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all
expenses incurred. Borrowers grant Lender a license to enter and occupy any of their premises,
without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;
(d) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it
holds, or (ii)
any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower;
(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise
for
sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other
right to use, without charge, any Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use
of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for
sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this
Section, any Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s
benefit; or
(f) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, each Borrower irrevocably
appoints Lender as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other
forms of payment or security; (b) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or
-16-
xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (c) make, settle, and adjust
all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims
about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines
reasonable; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code
permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign any Borrower’s name on any documents
necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as each Borrower’s
attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable
until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide
Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Lender Payments.
If any Borrower fails to pay any amount when due or furnish any required proof of payment to
third persons as required under the Loan Documents, Lender may make all or part of the payment or
obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.6 and take any action under the policies Lender
deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Lender in connection with the foregoing shall be collectively
referred to as “Lender Payments”. No Lender Payments are deemed an agreement to make similar
payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Lender’s Liability for Collateral.
If Lender complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable for: (a)
the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in
the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or
other person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.5 Remedies Cumulative.
Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other
agreements are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or
in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any
Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the
specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.6 Demand Waiver.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower
waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of
accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which such
Borrower is liable.
10. Notices
All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must
be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by
-17-
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the
addresses and telefacsimile numbers set forth below each party’s name on the signature page hereto.
Notice shall be effective upon receipt if sent by personal delivery, overnight delivery service or
certified mail; and notices sent by telefacsimile shall be effective upon confirmation of delivery.
A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.
11. Choice Of Law, Venue And Jury Trial Waiver, Judicial Reference
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
Each Borrower and Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in
San Francisco County, California.
EACH BORROWER AND LENDER WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING
OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH
OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties
hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any
time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if
they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco County, California Superior Court)
appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to
comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties
hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638
through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant
provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing
preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be
closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.
If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has
not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may
apply to the San Francisco County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding
before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under
the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to
discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules
of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may
enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a
trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the
power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report
a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a).
Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help
remedies, foreclose against
-18-
Collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues
relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
12. Cross Guaranty.
12.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally
liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and
assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and
performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower. Each
Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and
performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 12 shall not be
discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its
obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and
unaffected by,
(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or
change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument
to which any Borrower is or may become a party;
(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this
Section 12) or any
other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions
thereof;
(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any
security
for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof
(including the release of any such security);
(d) the insolvency of any Borrower; or
(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with
respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
12.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in
the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel
Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against
any other Borrower, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the
Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower expressly waives the benefit of (a)
California Civil Code Section 2815 permitting the revocation of any guaranty as to future
transactions and the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855, 2899 and 1432
with respect to certain suretyship defenses, and (b) all rights, benefits and defenses, if any,
applicable or available to such Borrower under (i) California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a
or 726, which provide, among other things, that the amount of any deficiency judgment which may be
recovered following either a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale is limited to the difference
between the amount of any indebtedness owed and
-19-
the greater of the fair value of the security or the amount for which
the security was actually sold, (ii) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580b, providing
that no deficiency may be recovered on a real property purchase money obligation, or (iii)
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, providing that no deficiency may be recovered on a
note secured by a deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale
contained in the deed of trust. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the foregoing
waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Lender would
decline to enter into this Agreement.
12.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 are for
the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein
contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations of such other
Borrower under the Loan Documents.
12.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all
rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to
benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the
enforceability of this Section 12, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended
third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.
12.5 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its
benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by
any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial sale or
enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may
pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 12. If, in the exercise
of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including
its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because
of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby
consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action
by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower
might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that results in
the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower
shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the
event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law
or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount
of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount
of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party is the successful bidder,
shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference
between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed
to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 12, notwithstanding that any
present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any
deficiency claim to
-20-
which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
12.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each
Borrower’s liability under this Section 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts
for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 2) shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
(a) the net amount of all Credit Extensions advanced to any other Borrower under this
Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower;
and
(b) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Borrower under this
Section 12
without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such
Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 12.7.
12.7 Public Announcement. Borrowers hereby agree that Lender may make a public announcement
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and may publicize the same in marketing
materials, newspapers and other publications, and otherwise (collectively, “Publicity”), and in
connection therewith may use any Borrower’s name, tradenames and logos; provided however
that any such public announcement or Publicity must be approved in advance by Borrowers (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
12.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 12 is in addition to
and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or
obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or
agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
13. General Provisions
13.1 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each
party. No Borrower may assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it
