THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH II,
L.P. (“PFG”), whose address is 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 and the borrowers named
above (jointly and severally, “Borrower”), whose respective chief executive office is located at
the above address (“Borrower’s Address”). The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) being
signed by the parties concurrently, is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain
terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 7 below.)
1. LOANS.
1.1 Loans. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9 of the Schedule
or the waiver thereof in PFG’s discretion, PFG will make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in the
amount shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
1.2 Interest. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the rate
shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement.
Interest shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the
prior month.
1.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay PFG the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to
all interest and other sums payable to PFG and are not refundable.
1.4 [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
1.5 Late Fee. If any payment of accrued interest for any month is not made within three
Business Days after the date due (other than by reason of acceleration), or if any payment of
principal or any other payment is not made within three Business Days after the date due, Borrower
shall pay PFG a late payment fee equal to 5% of the amount of such late payment. The provisions of
this paragraph shall not be construed as PFG’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts
when due, and PFG’s acceptance of any such late payments shall not restrict PFG’s exercise of any
remedies arising out of any such failure.
2. SECURITY INTEREST.
2.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of all of the
Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to PFG 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; provided, however, the Collateral shall not include licenses
and permits issued by the Federal Communications Commission to the extent it is unlawful to grant a
security interest in such licenses and permits.
-1-
2.2 Specified Contracts Excluded. The security interest granted under this Section 2 shall
not attach to any of the following (“Specified Contracts”): any lease, license, contract, property
rights or agreement to which Borrower is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if
and for so long as the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in any of the
following (other than to the extent that any such term would be ineffective under the Code or any
other applicable law or principles of equity): (i) the abandonment, invalidation or
unenforceability of any right, title or interest of Borrower therein, or (ii) in a breach or
termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such lease, license, contract
property rights or agreement; provided however that such security interest shall attach immediately
at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability shall be
remedied and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such lease,
license, contract, property rights or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences
specified in (i) or (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing
shall not be construed so as to apply to Accounts or payment intangibles. Except as disclosed on
Exhibit A hereto, Borrower represents and warrants to PFG that there are no Specified Contracts
which are material to Borrower’s business or grant Borrower rights in Intellectual Property which
is licensed by the Borrower to its customers or incorporated in products licensed or sold by the
Borrower to its customers. Borrower shall not, hereafter, without PFG’s prior written consent,
enter into any Specified Contract which is material to Borrower’s business or grants Borrower
rights in Intellectual Property which is licensed by the Borrower to its customers or incorporated
in products licensed or sold by the Borrower to its customers.
2.3 Lease Receivables. PFG agrees, from time to time at Borrowers’ request, to release its
security interest against Lease Receivables to the extent that Borrower is financing such Lease
Receivables with a finance company other than the Senior Lender, provided that (i) Borrower is not
then financing such Lease Receivables with the Senior Lender, (ii) such other finance company is
identified in advance to PFG, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default then exits under the Loan
Documents or the Senior Loan Documents or would result from the finance of Lease Receivables by
such other finance company.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER.
In order to induce PFG to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, Borrower represents and
warrants to PFG as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue
to be true, 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.
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 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 (iii) 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 (iv)
do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation 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, as set forth in its Articles or Certificate of
Incorporation. 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 PFG 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, if applicable to Borrower.
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 chief executive office. 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 PFG 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 $10,000 fair market value of Equipment 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. The Collateral now is and
will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges,
-1-
Partners for Growth II, L.P. | Loan and Security Agreement |
security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. PFG 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 PFG and
the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, and
Borrower will give PFG 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 PFG a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect PFG’s security
interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business
judgment.
(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, and in which the potential recovery exceeds
$100,000, Borrower shall promptly notify PFG thereof in writing and provide PFG with such
information regarding the same as PFG shall request (unless providing such information would waive
the Borrower’s attorney-client privilege). Such notification to PFG shall constitute a grant of a
security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to PFG, and Borrower shall
execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as PFG shall request in connection
therewith.
(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 PFG, use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to PFG, in form
acceptable to PFG, such waivers and subordinations as PFG 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.
3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the 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 PFG 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
complete and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the
future delivered to PFG 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 all
material respects, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated,
except, in the case of unaudited financial statements for (i) lack of footnote disclosure required
by GAAP, and (ii) normal year end audit adjustments. Between the last date covered by any such
statement provided to PFG 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 of the foregoing which
are contested by Borrower in good faith, provided that Borrower (i) contests the same by
appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies PFG 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 same 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
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.
3.10 Litigation. There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or
(to best of Borrower’s knowledge) threatened against or affecting Borrower in any court or before
any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which could reasonably be
expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material
-2-
Partners for Growth II, L.P. | Loan and Security Agreement |
Adverse Change. Borrower will promptly inform PFG in writing of any claim, proceeding,
litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrower involving any
single claim of $50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for lawful business
purposes and as otherwise specified in the Schedule. 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 No Default. At the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no
Default or Event of Default will have occurred after giving effect to any Loans being made
concurrently herewith.
3.13 Protection and Registration of Intellectual Property Rights. Borrower shall: (a)

allow any intellectual property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or
dedicated to the public without PFG’s written consent. If Borrower decides to register any
copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide PFG
with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of its intent to register such copyrights or
mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States
Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security
agreement or such other documents as PFG may reasonably request to maintain the perfection and
priority of PFG’s security interest in the copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with
the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement
with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the copyright or mask work
application(s) with the United States Copyright Office. Borrower shall promptly provide to PFG a
copy of the application(s) filed with the United States Copyright Office together with evidence of
the recording of the intellectual property security agreement necessary for PFG to maintain the
perfection and priority of its security interest in such copyrights or mask works. Borrower shall
provide written notice to PFG of any application filed by Borrower in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office for a patent or to register a trademark or service xxxx within 30 days after any
such filing.
3.14 Domain Rights and Related Matters. Borrower (a) is the sole record, legal and
beneficial owner of all domain names and domain name rights used in connection with its business
and that of its Subsidiaries, free and clear of any rights or claims of any third party; (b)
represents and warrants that the information provided in the Representations with respect to domain
names and ownership thereof, domain registry, domain servers, location and administrative contact
information, web hosting and related services and facilities (collectively, “Domain Rights”) is

information; (c) shall maintain all Domain Rights in full force and effect so long as any
Obligations remain outstanding; (d) shall, upon request of PFG, notify such third parties
(including domain registrars, hosting companies and internet service providers) of PFG’s security

infringements of its Domain Rights.
4. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF BORROWER.
4.1 Financial and Other Covenants. Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and
other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
4.2. Remittance of Proceeds. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, all proceeds arising
from the disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to PFG in the
original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt
by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as PFG shall determine; provided that,
if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated
to remit to PFG (i) the proceeds of Accounts and Inventory arising in the ordinary course of
business, or (ii) 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). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle
proceeds of Collateral (other than those described in subclauses (i) and (ii) above) with any of
Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other
funds and property and in an express trust for PFG, except as set forth above, and subject to the
rights of the Senior Lender. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of
Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
4.3 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 PFG, in
such form and amounts as PFG may reasonably require and as are customary and in accordance with
standard practices for Borrower’s industry and locations, and Borrower shall provide evidence of
such insurance to PFG. All casualty insurance policies shall name PFG as an additional loss payee,
and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to PFG. Upon
receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, PFG
shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as
-3-
Partners for Growth II, L.P. | Loan and Security Agreement |
PFG shall determine in its good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, PFG shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds
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. PFG may
require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower
fails to provide or pay for any insurance, PFG may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at
Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to PFG copies of all material reports made to
insurance companies.
4.4 Reports. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide PFG with the written reports set forth
in the Schedule, and such other written reports with respect to Borrower (including budgets,
projections, operating plans and other financial documentation), as PFG shall from time to time
specify in its good faith business judgment.
4.5 Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times, and on one Business Day’s
notice, PFG, 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 be at Borrower’s
expense and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall
represent PFG’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
If no Default has occurred and is continuing and no PFG audit or inspection conducted within the
prior 12 month period has revealed any material inconsistencies or discrepancies in Borrower’s
books and records (as determined in PFG’s good faith business judgment), PFG shall be entitled to
conduct no more than one audit per calendar year at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall not be
required to disclose to PFG any document or information (i) where disclosure is prohibited by
applicable law, stock exchange regulation or any agreement binding on Borrower, or (ii) is subject
to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product. If Borrower is
withholding any information under the preceding sentence (whether or not a Default or Event of
Default has occurred), it shall so advise PFG in writing, giving PFG a general description of the
nature of the information and the basis upon which such information is being withheld. If the only
basis for withholding such information is the consent of Borrower or a third party, Borrower shall
give such consent and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to secure any third party consent
required.
4.6 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not,
without PFG’s prior written consent (which shall be a matter of its good faith business judgment
and shall be conditioned on Borrower then being in compliance with the terms of this Agreement), do
any of the following:
(i) permit or suffer any Change in Control;
(ii) acquire any assets, except in the ordinary course of business, or make any Investments
other than Permitted Investments;

granting of Permitted Liens, and (D) the non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property in the
ordinary course of business;
(v) store any Inventory or other Collateral with any warehouseman or other third party, unless
there is in place a bailee agreement in such form as PFG shall specify in its good faith business
judgment;
(vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale, consignment, or other contingent
basis; provided however, sales on a contingent basis in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business
and not constituting in excess of 10% of annual sales in the aggregate may be made without PFG’s
prior written consent;
(vii) make any loans of any money or other assets, other than Permitted Investments;

connection with redeeming or purchasing stock of departing employees, up to a maximum aggregate of
$50,000 in any fiscal year;

(xii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than the businesses currently
engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto;
(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, 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;
(xiv) without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to PFG: (1) add any new offices
or business locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business locations contain
less than $10,000 in Borrower’s assets or property, (2) change its jurisdiction of organization,
(3) change its organizational structure or type, (4) change its legal name, or (5) change any
organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of organization; or
(xv) liquidate or dissolve or elect to liquidate or dissolve.
Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only permitted if no Default
or Event of Default would occur as a result of such transaction.
4.7 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be instituted by or
against PFG with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense
to PFG, make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and
records, to the extent that PFG may deem them reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or defend
any such suit or proceeding.
4.8 Changes. Borrower agrees to promptly notify PFG in writing of any changes in the
information set forth in the Representations.
4.9 Further Assurances. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by PFG, to execute all

Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and in order to fully consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full;
provided that PFG may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans after termination.
No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or remedy of PFG, nor shall any such

and performed in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and termination
of this Agreement, PFG shall promptly terminate its financing statements with respect to the
Borrower and deliver to Borrower such other documents as may be required to fully terminate PFG’s

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; (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral
wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes PFG 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 PFG
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 PFG 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
-6-

possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to
recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that PFG 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 PFG at places designated by PFG
which are reasonably convenient to PFG and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations
as PFG 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, PFG 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 PFG 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. PFG shall have the right to conduct such
disposition on Borrower’s premises without charge, for such time or times as PFG deems reasonable,
or on PFG’s premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of
disposition. PFG may directly or through any affiliated company 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 PFG
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 PFG’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) Exercise any and all rights under any present or future control
agreements relating to Deposit Accounts or Investment Property; and (i) 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. All reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by PFG with respect to the foregoing shall be
added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a
rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Without limiting any
of PFG’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 shall be increased by an additional
four percent per annum (the “Default Rate”).
6.3 Standards for Determining Commercial Reasonableness. Borrower and PFG agree that a sale
or other disposition (collectively, “sale”) of any Collateral 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 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 PFG, 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, PFG may (but is not obligated to)
direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all information
concerning the same. PFG shall be free to employ other methods of noticing and selling the
Collateral, in its discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.
6.4 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, without limiting PFG’s other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to PFG an irrevocable
power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting PFG (acting through any of
its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or
without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower’s expense, to do any or all of the following, in
Borrower’s name or otherwise, but PFG agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do
so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any
documents that PFG may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and
maintain PFG’s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or
PFG, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and
all other Loan Documents; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Account,
any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in
bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien, or assignment or
satisfaction of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash
or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any
instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into PFG’s possession;
(d) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by PFG; (e) Pay, contest or settle
any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral,
or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f)
Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles for
less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (g) Pay
any sums required on account of Borrower’s taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or
both; (h) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the
Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i) Instruct any third party having custody or control of
any books
-7-
Partners for Growth II, L.P. | Loan and Security Agreement |
or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give PFG the same rights of access and
other rights with respect thereto as PFG has under this Agreement; (j) Execute on behalf of
Borrower and file in Borrower’s name such documents and instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect the transfer of Domain Rights, domain names, domain registry administrative
contacts and domain and website hosting services into the name of PFG or its designees, and (k)
Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by PFG 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
PFG’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of PFG’s other rights under this
Agreement be deemed to indicate that PFG is in control of the business, management or properties of
Borrower.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the
Collateral shall be applied by PFG first to the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities,
obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by PFG 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 PFG shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be
paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to PFG for
any deficiency. If, PFG, 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, PFG
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 PFG of the cash therefor.
6.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement,
PFG shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Code and under
all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered
into between PFG and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is
exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by PFG of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not
be deemed an election, nor bar PFG from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights
or remedies. The failure or delay of PFG 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.

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.
8.8 Waivers; Indemnity. The failure of PFG 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 PFG later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any
waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and
whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of PFG or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of PFG and delivered to Borrower.
Borrower waives the benefit of all statutes of limitations relating to any of the Obligations or
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest
and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangible,
document or guaranty at any time held by PFG on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and
notice of any action taken by PFG, unless expressly required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby
agrees to indemnify PFG and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, directors, officers, employees,
agents, and attorneys, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, debts,
liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees), of every kind, which they may sustain or incur based upon
or arising out of any of the Obligations, or any relationship or agreement between PFG and
Borrower, or any other matter, relating to Borrower or the Obligations; provided that this
indemnity shall not extend to damages proximately caused by the indemnitee’s own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. 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

or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of PFG, or any of its

directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan

AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH PFG OR BORROWER, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING
CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. 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
order 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

Loan and Security Agreement
Borrower:

XATA Corporation, a Minnesota corporation | |
Address:
|
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 | |
Borrower:
|
Geologic Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation | |
Address:
|
00000-X Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 | |
Date:
|
January 31, 2008 |
This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH
II, L.P. and the above-borrower of even date.
1. LOAN (Section 1.1): |
||
The Loan shall consist of a term loan in the amount of $8,000,000, which shall be disbursed to XATA Corporation (or directly to the sellers in the Acquisition, as PFG and XATA Corporation may agree) in full upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this Schedule and, for the avoidance of doubt, not earlier than the closing of the Acquisition. | ||
Repayment:
|
Subject to the “Amortization Right” set forth, below, Borrower shall be required to make payments of interest only until March 31, 2011. Borrower shall make principal payments of $1,000,000 on each of March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2011, with the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Maturity Date. | |
Prepayment:
|
The principal of the Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without fee or penalty. | |
Amortization Right:
|
If Borrower fails to meet the minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio (defined below), PFG shall have the absolute right, but not the obligation, to amortize the Loan as if it were a three-year loan with equal monthly principal payments of $222,222 (the “Amortization Right”). PFG may exercise the Amortization Right upon notice at any time Borrower is not in compliance with the minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio (but for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower’s failure to meet the minimum | |
Partners for Growth II, | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
Adjusted Quick Ratio shall not, by itself, constitute a Default). For example, if Borrower fell below the Adjusted Quick Ratio three (3) months after the date hereof and PFG exercised the Amortization Right, then Borrower would be required to immediately pay PFG $666,666, with the balance of the Loan due in equal monthly principal payments, plus interest, over the following thirty-three (33) months, commencing the first day of the month immediately following exercise of the Amortization Right and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. | ||
Adjusted Quick Ratio: Borrower shall maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of 0.75 : 1.00. “Adjusted Quick Ratio” means a ratio of (a) Borrower’s unrestricted cash maintained at or through the Senior Lender, plus Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Senior Loan Documents), to (b) the aggregate Credit Extensions by the Senior Lender (as “Credit Extensions” is defined in the Senior Loan Documents), plus outstanding monetary Obligations owing from Borrower to PFG. This ratio will increase to 1.00 : 1.00 as of 6/30/09. | ||
2. INTEREST. |
||
Interest Rate
(Section 1.2): |
||
The Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to Fourteen and One-Half percent (14.5%) per annum. | ||
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and a year of twelve months of 30 days each for the actual number of days elapsed. Accrued interest for each month shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month. | ||
Interest Reset:
|
Borrower has delivered (i) financial projections to PFG dated November 9, 2007 (the “Projections”), for Revenue and Modified EBITDA for the quarterly periods ending March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, and (ii) a Reconciliation of the Projections to Borrower’s current forecast, as delivered to PFG on January 30, 2008 (the “Reconciliation”) resulting in the following Revenue and Modified EBITDA targets, respectively (the “Financial Targets”): |
Period | Revenue | Modified EBITDA | ||||||

June 30, 2008 |
$ | 15,156,585 | $ | 1,069,219 | ||||
September 30, 2008 |
$ | 16,497,926 | $ | 2,089,327 |
Partners for Growth II, L.P.

Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
