THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between SQUARE 1 BANK (“Lender”), whose address is 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, and the borrower(s) named above (the “Borrower”), whose principal place of business is located at the above address (“Borrower’s Address”). The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and the same is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)
1. LOANS.
1.1 Loans. Lender will make loans to Borrower (the “Loans”), in amounts not to exceed the limits shown on the Schedule (the “Credit Limit”), subject to the provisions of this Agreement and subject to deduction of Reserves for accrued interest and such other Reserves as Lender deems proper from time to time in its Good Faith Business Judgment.
1.2 Interest. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the interest rate shown on the Schedule. Accrued interest shall be payable monthly, on the last day of the month, and shall be charged to Borrower’s bank account maintained with Lender (and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the other Loans).
1.3 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the total of all outstanding Loans and all other monetary Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the Overadvance to Lender, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation to repay to Lender the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Lender interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at (a) the interest rate shown on the Schedule and (b) at such time, if at all, such Overadvance becomes an Event of Default then at the Default Rate.
1.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay Lender the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Lender and are not refundable.
1.5 Loan Requests. To obtain a Loan, Borrower shall make a request to Lender by facsimile or telephone. Loan requests received after 1:00 PM Eastern Time will be deemed made on the next Business Day. Lender may rely on any telephone request for a Loan given by a person whom Lender in good faith believes is an authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify Lender for any loss Lender suffers as a result of that reliance.
1.6 Ancillary Services Sublimit. Subject to the availability of Loans, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof through the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower may request the provision of Ancillary Services from Lender. The aggregate amount of the Obligations relating to Ancillary Services at any time shall not exceed the Ancillary Services Sublimit, and availability of Loans shall be reduced by reserves for Ancillary Services in an amount equal to the aggregate amounts of the following (the “Ancillary Services Reserves”): (i) any outstanding and undrawn amounts under all Letters of Credit issued hereunder, (ii) corporate credit card services provided to Borrower, (iii) the total amount of any Automated Clearing House processing reserves, (iv) the applicable Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage, and (v) any other reserves taken by Lender as determined by Lender in its Good Faith Business Judgment in connection with other treasury management services requested by Borrower and approved by Lender. In the event at any time there are insufficient Loans available to Borrower for such reserves, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with Lender cash collateral in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency, which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, Lender may, in its sole discretion, charge as Loans any amounts for which Lender becomes liable to third parties in connection with the provision of the Ancillary Services. The terms and conditions (including repayment and fees) of such Ancillary Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lender’s standard forms of application and agreement for the applicable Ancillary Services, which Borrower hereby agrees to execute, to the extent not already executed.

1.7 Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 1.6 above, at the request of Borrower, Lender may, in its Good Faith Business Judgment, issue or arrange for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion. Borrower shall pay Lender’s standard fees and charges in connection with all Letters of Credit and all other all bank charges (including charges of Lender’s letter of credit department) in connection with the Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). Any payment by Lender under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than six months after the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by Lender, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit. Borrower agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Lender and opened for Borrower's account or by Lender's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Lender for Borrower's account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that Letters of Credit may require Lender to indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Lender under any Letter of Credit as a result of Lender's indemnification of any such issuing bank. The provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any other Loan Documents relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative.
1.8 Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. If Borrower has not secured to Lender’s satisfaction its Obligations with respect to any Ancillary Services by the Maturity Date, then, effective as of such date, without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies, the balance in any deposit accounts held by Lender and the certificates of deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Lender in Borrower’s name (and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts), shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the then continuing or outstanding Ancillary Services. Borrower authorizes Lender to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any requests by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the applicable Ancillary Services are outstanding or continue. Without limiting the foregoing, all Obligations relating to Ancillary Services shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
2. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property); all Investment Property; all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrower’s books relating to any and all of the above.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER.
In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true (except to the extent that such representation or warranty relates to a particular date), and that Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:
3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Borrower is, and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are not subject to any consents, which have not been obtained, (iii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally), and (iv) do not violate Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or Borrower’s by-laws, or any law or any material agreement or instrument, which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (v) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any indebtedness or obligations in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate, under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.

3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. As of the date hereof, the name of Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed in the Representations are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower’s present and prior trade names, as of the date hereof. Borrower shall give Lender 30 days' prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.
3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. As of the date hereof, the address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's principal place of business. In addition, as of the date hereof, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations. Borrower will give Lender at least 30 days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that Borrower may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $50,000 fair market value of Equipment and Inventory is located.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.
(a) Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower, and except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Lender now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Lender and the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts as of the date hereof, and Borrower will give Lender five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Lender a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in its Good Faith Business Judgment. Nothing herein limits any requirements which may be set forth in the Schedule as to where Deposit Accounts will be maintained.
(c) In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing and provide Lender with such information regarding the same as Lender shall request. Such notification to Lender shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Lender, and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Lender shall request to perfect such interest.
(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall, whenever requested by Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Lender, in form acceptable to Lender, such waivers and subordinations as Lender shall specify in its Good Faith Business Judgment. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
(e) Except as disclosed in the Representations, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any license or other agreement that is important for the conduct of Borrower’s business and that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property important for the conduct of Borrower’s business.
(f) Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made to Borrower that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Inventory in good and merchantable condition and maintain all other tangible Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.

3.6 Books and Records. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower’s Address books and records, which are complete and accurate in all material respects, and comprise an accounting system from which financial statements will be prepared in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the future delivered to Lender have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP, and now and in the future will fairly present the results of operations and financial condition of Borrower, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated (except for non-compliance with FAS 123R in monthly financial statements, and, in the case of interim financial statements, for the lack of footnotes and subject to year-end adjustments). Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Lender and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed, and will timely file, all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Lender 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. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has, to the best of its knowledge, complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower's business, and all environmental matters. Borrower has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
3.10 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) involving any claim against Borrower of more than $50,000. Borrower will promptly inform Lender in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrower involving any claim against Borrower of more than $50,000.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for Borrower’s working capital. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock.”
3.12 Solvency, Payment of Debts. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4. Accounts.
4.1 [Intentionally Omitted].
4.2 Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows: 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 in all material respects, and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of Borrower's books and records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

4.3 Documents relating to Accounts. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies (or, after a Default, at Lender's request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender an aged accounts receivable trial balance as provided in the Schedule. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all credit memos.
4.4 Cash Collateral Account.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth below, Borrower shall at all times immediately deposit any funds received by Borrower from any source (including without limitation all proceeds of Accounts and all other Collateral) into a cash collateral account at Lender in Borrower’s name (the “Cash Collateral Account”), over which Lender shall have exclusive and unrestricted access. Borrower shall at all times direct its Account Debtors to mail or deliver all checks or other forms of payment for amounts owing to Borrower to a post office box designated by Lender (the “Lockbox”), over which Lender shall have exclusive and unrestricted access. Prior to disbursement of any Loans, Borrower shall establish the Lockbox, and thereafter Borrower shall at all times maintain the Lockbox with Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. Except for funds deposited into the Cash Collateral Account, all funds received by Borrower from any source shall immediately be directed to the Lockbox. Lender shall collect the mail delivered to the Lockbox, open such mail, and endorse and credit all items to the Lockbox.
(b) All funds flowing through the Lockbox shall automatically be transferred to the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower shall direct all customers or other persons owing money to Borrower who make payments by electronic transfer of funds to wire such funds directly to the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower shall hold in trust for Lender all amounts that Borrower receives despite the directions to make payments to the Cash Collateral Account, and immediately deliver such payments to Lender in their original form as received from the payor, with proper endorsements for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account any funds that have been deposited into any other accounts or that Lender has received by wire transfer, check, cash, or otherwise. Lender shall have all right, title and interest in all of the items from time to time held in the Cash Collateral Account and their proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any person claiming through Borrower shall have any right or control over the use of, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Cash Collateral Account, which shall be under the sole control of Lender.
(c) Lender shall transfer all sums collected in the Cash Collateral Account into a Deposit Account of Borrower maintained with Lender, promptly after receipt of such sums in immediately available funds, provided that if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or Lender otherwise deems it advisable in its discretion to do so, Lender may apply amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account to the outstanding balance of the Obligations on a daily basis.
(d) Lender may from time to time in its discretion make Loans to Borrower to cover checks or other items or charges that Borrower has drawn or made against its operating account (the “Operating Account”) or to cause payment of amounts due under the Loan Documents. Borrower authorizes Lender to make such Loans from time to time by means of appropriate entries of credits to the Operating Account sufficient to cover any such charges then presented, such Loans to be subject to the terms of this Agreement as though made pursuant to a request from Borrower.
4.5. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.4, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Lender the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).
4.6 Settlement of Accounts. 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; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.7 [Intentionally Omitted].
4.8 Verification. Lender may, from time to time, verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Lender or such other name as Lender may choose, and Lender or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that it has a security interest in the Accounts.

4.9 No Liability. Lender shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Lender be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall, however, relieve Lender from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF BORROWER.
5.1 Financial and Other Covenants. Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
5.2 Insurance. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, in such form and amounts as Lender may reasonably require and that are customary and in accordance with standard practices for Borrower’s industry and locations, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to Lender. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s current insurance coverage and the issuers that have been disclosed to Lender in the Representations are acceptable to Lender. All such insurance policies shall name Lender as a loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, Lender shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds the greater of (i) the amount by which such proceeds exceed the Obligations or (ii) with respect to Equipment totaling less than $100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Lender may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Lender may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.
5.3 Reports. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Lender with the written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with respect to Borrower as Lender shall from time to time specify in its Good Faith Business Judgment.
5.4 Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times, and on three Business Days’ prior written notice, Lender, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's books and records. The foregoing inspections and audits shall occur no more than two times in a fiscal year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $900 per person per day (or such other amount as shall represent Lender’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation any additional costs and expenses of outside auditors retained by Lender).
5.5 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Lender's prior written consent (which shall be a matter of its Good Faith Business Judgment), do any of the following:
(i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity, except that a Borrower may merge into another Borrower with ten Business Days prior written notice to Lender;
(ii) acquire any assets, except in the ordinary course of business, in excess of $300,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year;
(iii) enter into any other transaction outside the ordinary course of business in excess of $300,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year;

(vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale, consignment, or other contingent basis;
(vii) make any loans of any money or other assets or any other Investments, other than (A) Permitted Investments and (B) loans to employees, officers and directors not in excess of $300,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year subject to Lender’s consent as provided for above;

(xii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto, or become an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(xiii) directly or indirectly enter into, or permit to exist, any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, and are on 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; or
(xiv) reincorporate in another state;
(xv) change its fiscal year;
(xvi) create a Subsidiary;
(xvii) dissolve or elect to dissolve, except that a Borrower which is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Borrower may dissolve, with ten Business Day prior written notice to the Lender, if all of its assets are distributed to the Borrower which owns 100% of its stock; or
(xviii) agree to do any of the foregoing, unless such agreement provides that it is subject to the prior written consent of Lender.
Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only permitted if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur as a result of such transaction.
5.6 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Lender, make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower's books and records, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.
5.7 Notification of Changes. Borrower will give Lender written notice of any change in its executive officers within 10 Business Days after the date of such change.
5.8 Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) Without limitation on the terms of subsection “b” below, Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of any applications or registrations it files or obtains with respect to Intellectual Property filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, including the date of any such filing and the registration or application numbers, if any.
(b) Borrower shall (i) give Lender not less than 30 days prior written notice of the filing of any applications or registrations with the United States Copyright Office, including the title of such intellectual property rights to be registered, as such title will appear on such applications or registrations, and the date such applications or registrations will be filed; (ii) prior to the filing of any such applications or registrations, execute such documents as Lender may reasonably request for Lender to maintain its perfection in the Intellectual Property rights to be registered by Borrower; (iii) upon the request of Lender, either deliver to Lender or file such documents simultaneously with the filing of any such applications or registrations; (iv) upon filing any such applications or registrations, promptly provide Lender with a copy of such applications or registrations together with any exhibits, evidence of the filing of any documents requested by Lender to be filed for Lender to maintain the perfection and priority of its security interest in such Intellectual Property rights.
(c) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Intellectual Property, (ii) detect infringements of the Intellectual Property, and (iii) not allow any material Intellectual Property to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Borrower’s sole expense, any actions that Borrower is required under this Section 5.8 to take but which Borrower fails to take, after 15 days’ notice to Borrower. Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section.
5.9 Consent of Inbound Licensors. Prior to entering into or becoming bound in the future by any inbound license or agreement material to the business of Borrower and not readily commercially available to the public, Borrower shall: (i) provide written notice to Lender of the material terms of such license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition; and (ii) in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for Borrower’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral and for Lender to have a security interest therein, provided, however, that the failure to obtain any such consent or waiver shall not constitute a default under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Lender or issued by another institution based upon an application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Lender, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Lender cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit, plus all interest, fees and cost due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Lender in its Good Faith Business Judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Lender’s then standard form cash pledge agreement.

Lender shall, at Borrower’s expense, release or terminate all financing statements and other filings in favor of Lender as may be required to fully terminate Lender's security interests, provided that there are no suits, actions, proceedings or claims pending or threatened against any Person indemnified by Borrower under this Agreement with respect to which indemnity has been or may be sought, upon Lender’s receipt of the following, in form and content satisfactory to Lender: (i) cash payment in full of all of the Obligations and performance by Borrower of all non-monetary Obligations under this Agreement, (ii) written confirmation by Borrower that the commitment of Lender to make Loans under this Agreement has terminated, (iii) a general release of all claims against Lender, its officers, directors, agents, attorneys and Affiliates by Borrower relating to Lender’s performance and obligations under the Loan Documents, on Lender’s standard form, and (iv) an agreement by Borrower to indemnify Lender for any payments received by Lender that are applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be returned or otherwise not paid for any reason.

7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Lender, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation and demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Lender in an amount equal to the amount of any Ancillary Services Reserves, as collateral security for the repayment of all Obligations, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees and other fees relating to Ancillary Services scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit or applicable Ancillary Service, and Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts; (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Lender without judicial process to enter onto any of Borrower's 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 in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as Lender deems it necessary, in its Good Faith Business Judgment, in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should Lender seek to take possession of any of the Collateral by court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Lender retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places designated by Lender which are reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Lender may deem advisable; (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Lender shall have the right to use Borrower's premises, vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, and other Equipment and all other property without charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its condition at the time Lender obtains possession of it or after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/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. Lender shall have the right to conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or times as Lender deems reasonable, or on Lender's premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Lender may directly or through any Affiliate purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale; (g) demand payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Lender's Good Faith Business Judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and the like for less than face value; (h) demand and receive possession of any of Borrower's federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or referring thereto; and (i) set off any of the Obligations against any general, special or other Deposit Accounts of Borrower maintained with Lender.

Without limiting any of Lender's rights and remedies, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to the Obligations and Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by an additional five percent per annum (the “Default Rate”).
7.3 Standards for Determining Commercial Reasonableness. Borrower and Lender agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, “Sale”) of any Collateral by Lender (or by Borrower at Lender’s request) which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) notice of the Sale is given to Borrower at least ten days prior to the Sale, and, in the case of a public Sale, notice of the Sale is published at least five days before the date of the Sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the Sale is to be conducted; (ii) notice of the Sale describes the Collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) the Sale is conducted at a place designated by Lender, with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) the Sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; (v) payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier’s check or wire transfer is required; (vi) with respect to any Sale of any of the Collateral, Lender may (but is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all information concerning the same. Lender shall be free to employ other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.
7.4 Investment Property. If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, and distributions with respect to, Investment Property in trust for Lender, and Borrower shall deliver all such payments, proceeds and distributions to Lender, immediately upon receipt, in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine. Borrower recognizes that Lender may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Investment Property, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale thereof.

Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall Lender's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Lender's other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Lender is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.6 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any Sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender first to the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If, Lender, 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, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its Good Faith Business Judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of the cash therefor.
7.7 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Lender and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

9.2 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. If Lender shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or governmental authority, or compliance by Lender with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to Lender (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) subject the Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income of Lender), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Loan, or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender, or (iii) impose on Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making any Loan, or agreeing to make any Loan or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Lender, then, upon demand by Lender, the Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount. All amounts payable under this Section shall bear interest from the date of demand by the Lender until payment in full to the Lender at the highest interest rate applicable to the Obligations.

9.7 Integration. 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 Borrower and Lender 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.
9.8 Waivers; Indemnity. The failure of Lender at any time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive or diminish any right of Lender later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.
9.9 Liability. NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES OR DAMAGES, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, MADE, CLAIMED, INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PARTY THROUGH THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, OR ITS PARENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL RELIEVE LENDER FROM LIABILITY FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO BORROWER OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER ACT, OMISSION OR TRANSACTION.

No consent by Lender to any assignment shall release Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
9.14 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

9.16 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against Lender or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise.
9.17 Public Announcement. Borrower hereby agrees 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, and in connection therewith may use the Borrower’s name, tradenames and logos. Lender acknowledges that this Agreement will be disclosed in Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
9.18 Confidentiality. Lender agrees to use the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information, to maintain the confidentiality of any and all proprietary, trade secret or confidential information provided to or received by Lender from the Borrower, which indicates that it is confidential or would reasonably be understood to be confidential, including business plans and forecasts, non-public financial information, confidential or secret processes, formulae, devices and contractual information, customer lists, and employee relation matters, provided that Lender may disclose such information to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, affiliates, participants, prospective participants, assignees and prospective assignees, and such other Persons to whom Lender shall at any time be required to make such disclosure in accordance with applicable law, and provided, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to disclosures made by Lender in its Good Faith Business Judgment in connection with the enforcement of its rights or remedies after an Event of Default.

If the referee (or any successor referee) appointed by the Superior Court is unable, or at any time becomes unable, to serve as referee in the Dispute, the Superior Court shall appoint a new referee as agreed to by the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, in accordance with CCP Section 640, which new referee shall then have the same powers, and be subject to the same terms and conditions, as the predecessor referee.
(c) Venue for all proceedings before the referee, and for any Superior Court proceeding for the appointment of the referee, shall be exclusively within the County of Los Angeles, State of California. The referee shall have the exclusive power to determine whether a Dispute is subject to judicial reference pursuant to this section. Trial, and all proceedings and hearings on dispositive motions, conducted before the referee shall be conducted in the presence of, and shall be transcribed by, a court reporter, unless otherwise agreed in writing by all parties to the proceeding.

The referee’s powers include, in addition to those set forth in CCP Sections 638, et seq., and CRC Rules 3.900 et seq., (i) the power to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, writ of attachment, writ of possession, appointment of a receiver, temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, or other “provisional remedy” (as such term is defined in CCP Section 1281.8), and (ii) the power to hear and resolve all post-trial matters in connection with the Dispute that would otherwise be determined by the Superior Court, including without limitation motions for new trial, reconsideration, to vacate judgment, to stay execution or enforcement, to tax costs, and/or for attorneys’ fees.
