During the continuance of an Event of Default, all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender, or for which Lender has become obligated, in connection with such inspection and/or verification shall be payable by Borrower to Lender.

Borrower will provide such evidence of the closure of any Deposit Accounts as provided above as Lender may reasonably request.

All sums paid by Lender in respect thereof and all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto incurred by Lender on account thereof shall be payable by Borrower to Lender.
5.6 Insurance. Borrower shall at all times throughout the term of this Loan Agreement and any extension hereof procure and maintain at its own expense the following minimum insurance coverages which shall be provided by insurance carriers with an AM Best rating of A, Class C or as otherwise acceptable to Lender and with such deductibles and exclusions as approved by Lender: (1) Special Form property damage insurance covering the Collateral which shall include but not be limited to fire and extended coverage and where applicable mechanical breakdown and electrical malfunction, and which shall be written in amount not less than the current replacement cost of Borrower’s property; and, (2) Commercial general liability insurance which may include excess liability insurance written on occurrence basis with a limit of not less than $2,000,000, and (3) Workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with statutory limits and employers’ liability coverage which may include excess liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000.
Any insurance carried and maintained in accordance with this Loan Agreement by Borrower shall be endorsed to provide that: (i) Lender shall be additional insured and loss payee with respect to the property insurance described in subsection (1) of the prior paragraph, and Lender shall be an additional insured with respect to the liability insurance described in subsection (2) of the prior paragraph; and (ii) The insurers thereunder waive all rights of subrogation against Lender, any right of setoff and counterclaim and any other right to deduction due to outstanding premiums, whether by attachment or otherwise; (iii) Such insurance shall be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Lender; and (iv) Inasmuch as such policies are written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (other than the limits of liability) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured; and (v) If such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, including nonpayment of premium, or any substantial change is made in the coverage that affects the interests of Lender the insurer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Lender of such change or cancellation prior to the effective date of such change or cancellation. Borrower, irrevocably, appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies, endorsing the name of Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies, and such appointment will be effective during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder.
On or before the initial funding by Lender hereunder, and at each policy anniversary date, Borrower shall arrange to furnish Lender with appropriate Certificates of Insurance. Such Certificates of Insurance shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer, and shall identify insurers, the type of insurance, the insurance limits and the policy term and shall specifically list the special endorsements (i) through (v) above.
In case of the failure to procure or maintain such insurance, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain such insurance and any premium paid by Lender shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to Lender. The maintenance of any policy or policies of insurance pursuant to this Section shall not limit any obligation or liability of Borrower pursuant to any other Sections or provisions of this Loan Agreement.

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or therein or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Lender may determine is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral.
5.9 Accounts. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 7.4 hereof, Borrower may settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any Account Debtor.

Financial statements may be delivered via electronic mail to Lender.

(a) Borrower may not grant any credit, discount, allowance or extension, or enter into any agreement for any of the foregoing, except for credits, discounts, allowances or extensions made or given in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business in accordance with Borrower’s historic credit and collection practices and policies without the prior consent of Lender (which shall include such practices as are customary for companies in the same industry as Borrower).

Borrower’s obligation hereunder shall survive termination of this Loan Agreement.

     (b) if any representation, warranty, financial statement, statement, report or certificate made, deemed made or delivered by Borrower, to Lender in writing is not true and correct in all material respects when made, deemed made or delivered;
     (c) if Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep or observe any term, provision, condition or covenant contained in this Loan Agreement or in the Other Agreements (except covenants contained in Section 7.2 and 7.3 which must be performed, kept or observed in all respects), which is required to be performed, kept or observed by Borrower, other than the payment of Borrower’s Liabilities and the same is not cured within fifteen (15) days;
     (d) if any of the Collateral or any other of Borrower’s other material assets are attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come within the possession of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors and such event is not satisfied or dismissed within fifteen (15) days;
     (e) if any event, condition or change shall occur that has had a Material Adverse Effect;
     (f) if a petition under any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or regulation shall be filed by or against Borrower (and with respect to any involuntary action, such action is not dismissed or stayed within 45 days) or if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or if any case or proceeding is filed by Borrower for its dissolution or liquidation;
     (g) if Borrower is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by court order from conducting all or any material part of its business affairs and such court order is not dismissed or stayed within 15 days;

     (j) if any Change of Control shall occur;
     (k) if any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process (if not adequately covered by insurance as to which a solvent and unaffiliated insurance company has acknowledged coverage) in excess of $500,000 shall be entered or filed against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets and such money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process is not effectively stayed within thirty (30) days or is not released, vacated or otherwise dismissed within 30 days;
     (l) this Loan Agreement or any Other Agreement shall for any reason fail or cease to be valid and binding on, or enforceable against, Borrower or any other party thereto or Borrower shall so assert;
     (m) this Loan Agreement or any Other Agreement shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or cease to create a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby or any such lien and security interest shall fail or cease to be a perfected and first priority lien and security interest (subject to Permitted Liens); or
     (n) if Borrower is in default (i) in the payment of any of Borrower’s indebtedness to Lender under any Other Agreement; or (ii) in the payment of any indebtedness to any Person other than Lender in excess of $500,000 (other than trade payables which are being contested by Borrower in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP), or, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating to any such indebtedness and such default, condition or event gives the holders of such debt (or any agent or trustee on their behalf) the then current right to accelerate such indebtedness. Borrower shall provide written notice of any events or circumstances which would give rise to an Event of Default under this Section 8.1 promptly (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days) after becoming aware of such events or circumstances. Failure of Borrower to give such notice promptly shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
8.2 Lender’s Rights and Remedies. Upon an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f), without notice by Lender to, or demand by Lender of, Borrower, all of Borrower’s Liabilities (other than those arising under the Warrants or the Success Fee Agreement) shall be automatically accelerated and shall be due and payable forthwith and any other commitments to provide any financing hereunder shall automatically terminate, and upon any other Event of Default, without notice by Lender, to or demand by Lender of, Borrower, Lender may accelerate all of Borrower’s Liabilities (other than those arising under the Warrants or the Success Fee Agreement) and same shall be due and

16

 

payable forthwith and/or Lender may terminate any other commitments to provide any financing hereunder. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies accruing to a Lender under the UCC or other applicable law of the relevant state or states or other applicable jurisdiction, and in equity, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Lender and Borrower, including under this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements; (b) enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the Collateral or the books and records of Borrower related thereto is or may be located, and without charge or liability to Lender therefor seize and remove the Collateral (and copies of Borrower’s books and records relating to the Collateral) from said premises and/or remain upon said premises and use the same (together with said books and records) for the purpose of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral; (c) sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof by one or more contracts at one or more public or private sales for cash or credit, provided, however, that Borrower shall be credited with the net proceeds of such sale(s) only when such proceeds are actually received by Lender; and (d) require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place or places to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower.
In addition, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of Borrower against any Account Debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time or times that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its discretion, at such time or times (1) notify any or all Account Debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a security interest therein and Lender may direct any or all Account Debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Accounts directly to Lender, (2) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the Account Debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of Borrower’s Liabilities, (3) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Lender shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (4) take whatever other action Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any Account Debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Lender and are payable directly and only to Lender and Borrower shall deliver to Lender such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Lender may require.
All of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements are cumulative and non-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. Lender agrees to give notice of any sale to Borrower at least ten (10) days prior to any public sale or at least ten (10) days before the time after which any private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that Lender may purchase any such Collateral (including by way of credit bid), and may postpone or adjourn any such sale from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of sale or by announcement at the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale, without being required to give a new notice of sale. Borrower agrees that Lender has no obligation to preserve rights against prior parties to the Collateral.
8.3 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest (in addition to such other powers of attorney granted to Lender elsewhere in this Loan Agreement), authorizing and permitting Lender at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower’s expense, to execute on behalf of Borrower any Additional Documentation, or such other instruments or documents as may be reasonably necessary in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Lender, including but not limited to the execution of any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any notice of lien, claim of mechanic’s or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic’s or other lien, or to take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash proceeds of Collateral and take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Loan Agreement and any Other Agreement. In no event shall Lender’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Lender’s other rights under this Loan Agreement be deemed to indicate that Lender is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.
9. General Provisions
9.1 Notices. All notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions hereof shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when (i)

Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the parties hereunder at their respective addresses and transmission numbers indicated on the signature page hereof, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.
9.2 Severability. Should any provision of this Loan Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Loan Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
9.3 Integration; Modification. This Loan Agreement, the Other Agreements and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith or pursuant hereto 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 Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements. There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements or in other written instruments, documents or agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith. If any provision contained in this Loan Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in the Other Agreements, the provision contained in this Loan Agreement shall govern and control, it being the intent of the parties, however, that the terms of each of the Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be remain in full force and effect. This Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.
9.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of each and every obligation under this Loan Agreement.
9.5 Attorneys’ Fees and Other Costs. Subject to the limitations on legal fees and costs set forth in Section 3.2, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with any amendment or waiver to this Loan Agreement or any Other Agreement; seeking to enforce any of its rights hereunder against Borrower or the Collateral, including in bankruptcy; enforcing Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, and representing Lender in all such matters. Borrower shall also pay Lender’s standard charges for returned checks in effect from time to time. Borrower’s obligation hereunder shall survive termination of this Loan Agreement.
9.6 Benefit of Agreement; Assignment. The provisions of this Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Lender; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Loan Agreement or any of the Other Agreements without the prior written consent of Lender, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. Borrower hereby consents to Lender’s sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time and from time to time hereafter, of this Loan Agreement, or the Other Agreements, or of any portion thereof, including without limitation Lender’s rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers and/or duties, provided that Lender shall not assign this Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements to any party known by Lender to be an actual, current competitor of Borrower. Borrower shall establish and maintain a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which it agrees to register by book entry Lender’s and each initial and subsequent assignee’s interest in each Loan, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, the Loans (including the notes in respect of such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of Lender and its assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable upon notation of such transfer in the Register, pursuant to Borrower’s obligation above. In no event is any note to be considered a bearer instrument or bearer obligation. This Section shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).
9.7 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.
9.8 Paragraph Headings. Paragraph headings are only used in this Loan Agreement for convenience. The term “including”, whenever used in this Loan Agreement, shall mean “including but not limited to”. This Loan Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Loan Agreement shall be construed strictly against Lender or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise.

18

 

9.9 Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or any Other Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or in any Other Agreement, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder or under any Other Agreement shall be, at such Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of Borrower’s Liabilities or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein or in any Other Agreement shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.
9.10 No Implied Waivers. Lender’s failure at any time or times hereafter to exercise any rights or remedies or to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Loan Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith and all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of Borrower’s Liabilities have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default by Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default by Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default or of any of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower contained in this Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements shall be effective unless specifically waived by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of Lender.
9.11 Acceptance by Lender. This Loan Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Lender, in writing, at its principal place of business as set forth above. If so accepted by Lender, this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be deemed to have been made at said place of business.
9.12 LAW AND VENUE. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. BORROWER CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF XXXX, STATE OF ILLINOIS. BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER BY LENDER OR TO ASSERT THAT ANY ACTION INSTITUTED BY LENDER OR BORROWER IN SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER VENUE OR SUCH ACTION SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO A MORE CONVENIENT FORUM.
9.13 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS LOAN AGREEMENT WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.
9.14 CONFIDENTIALITY. The provisions of this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be held in strictest confidence by Borrower and shall not be publicized or disclosed in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that Borrower may disclose this Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements (i) in confidence to its attorneys, accountants, auditors, insurers, tax preparers, current and prospective investors or acquirors, and financial advisors, (ii) insofar as such disclosure may be necessary to enforce its terms or (iii) as required by applicable law.
In handling any confidential information (confidential information shall include, without limitation, information about the disclosing party’s financial condition and projections; business, marketing or strategic plans; customer lists; price lists; databases; trade secrets; inventions; targets (genes or proteins); product prototypes and designs; techniques, formulae, algorithms and other non-public process information; and software (including source code, object code and machine code) relating to the foregoing), the receiving party and its employees and agents shall maintain the confidentiality of such confidential information and shall not disclose such confidential information to any third party or use the confidential information for any purpose other than for the performance of this Agreement, except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations with the receiving party, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar

19

 

investigation and (v) as the receiving party may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall include all non-public information delivered to the receiving party by the disclosing party in connection herewith, provided that confidential information shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of the receiving party when disclosed, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to receiving party through no fault of the receiving party; or (b) is disclosed to the receiving party by a third party, provided the receiving party does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.
9.15 Notice to Borrower. Lender hereby notifies Borrower as follows:
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.
