2. Loans.
(a) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, Laurus may make loans (the “Loans”) to Company from time to time during the Term which, in the aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) (I) the Capital Availability Amount minus (II) such reserves as Laurus may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to time (the “Reserves”) or (y) an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability minus (II) the Reserves. The amount derived at any time from Section 2(a)(i)(y)(I) minus 2(a)(i)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the “Formula Amount”. Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus on the Closing Date a Minimum Borrowing Note and a Secured Convertible Revolving Note evidencing the Loans funded on the Closing Date. From time to time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus immediately prior to the final funding of each additional $250,000 tranche of Loans (calculated on a cumulative basis for each such tranche) an additional Minimum Borrowing Note evidencing such tranche, in the form of Note delivered by Company to Laurus on the Closing Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, if requested by the Company, Laurus retains the right to lend to Company from time to time such amounts in excess of such limitations as Laurus may determine in its sole discretion.
(iii) Company acknowledges that the exercise of Laurus’ discretionary rights hereunder may result during the Term in one or more increases or decreases in the advance percentages used in determining Accounts Availability and Company hereby consents to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by Company.
(iv) If Company does not pay any interest, fees, costs or charges to Laurus when due, Company shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby authorized at its discretion to make and charge to Company’s account, a Loan to Company as of such date in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges.
(v) If Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Laurus may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Company (or, at Laurus’ option, in Laurus’ name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors, lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments). The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to Company’s account as a Loan and added to the Obligations. To facilitate Laurus’ performance or observance of such covenants of Company, Company hereby irrevocably appoints Laurus, or Laurus’ delegate, acting alone, as Company’s attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with
2
the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Company any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed delivered or endorsed by Company.
(vi) Laurus will account to Company monthly with a statement of all Loans and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Laurus shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is notified by Company in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was rendered specifying the item or items to which objection is made.
(vii) During the Term, Company may borrow and prepay Loans in excess of the Minimum Borrowing Amount, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(viii) If any Eligible Account is not paid by the Account Debtor within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date that such Eligible Account was invoiced or if any Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any Eligible Account, (a “Delinquent Account”), the Company shall promptly, and in any event within three business days, (i) reimburse Laurus for the amount of the Revolving Credit Advance made with respect to such Delinquent Account, or (ii) replace such Delinquent Account with an otherwise Eligible Account. If the Company shall fail to timely comply with the immediately preceding sentence, then an amount equal to one hundred and one-half of one percent (100.50%) of the Loan made with respect to such Delinquent Account shall be immediately due and payable to Laurus (which such amount shall repay the Loan made with respect to such Delinquent Account) .
(b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues to exist, Laurus may, at its option, elect to convert the credit facility contemplated hereby to an accounts receivable purchase facility. Upon such election by Laurus (subsequent notice of which Laurus shall provide to Company), Company shall be deemed to hereby have sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to Laurus, and Laurus shall be deemed to have purchased and received from Company, all right, title and interest of Company in and to all Accounts which shall at any time constitute Eligible Accounts (the “Receivables Purchase”). All outstanding Loans hereunder shall be deemed obligations under such accounts receivable purchase facility. The conversion to an accounts receivable purchase facility in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be deemed an exercise by Laurus of its secured creditor rights under Article 9 of the UCC. Immediately following Laurus’ request, Company shall execute all such further documentation as may be required by Laurus to more fully set forth the accounts receivable purchase facility herein contemplated, including, without limitation, Laurus’ standard form of accounts receivable purchase agreement and account debtor notification letters, but Company’s failure to enter into any such documentation shall not impair or affect the Receivables Purchase in any manner whatsoever.
(c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. After a registration statement registering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, conversions all or a portion of the Minimum Borrowing Amount into the Common Stock of the Company may be initiated as set forth in the Note. From and after the date upon which any outstanding principal of the
3
Minimum Borrowing Amount (as evidenced by the first Minimum Borrowing Note) is converted into Common Stock (the “First Conversion Date”), (i) corresponding amounts of all outstanding Loans (not attributable to the then outstanding Minimum Borrowing Amount) existing on or made after the First Conversion Date will be aggregated until they reach the sum of $250,000 and (ii) the Company will issue a new (serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note to Laurus in respect of such $250,000 aggregation, and (iii) the Company shall prepare and file a subsequent registration statement with the SEC to register such subsequent Minimum Borrowing Note as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
3. Repayment of the Loans. Company (a) may prepay the Obligations in excess of the Minimum Borrowing Amount from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 16 hereof if such prepayment is due to a termination of this Agreement); and (b) shall repay on the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans made by Laurus to Company hereunder together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges and (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall be made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds.
4. Procedure for Loans. Company may by written notice request a borrowing of Loans prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on that day, a Loan. Together with each request for a Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus may request), Company shall deliver to Laurus a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit A, which shall be certified as true and correct by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Company together with all supporting documentation relating thereto. All Loans shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Laurus may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Company’s account on Laurus’ books. The proceeds of each Loan made by Laurus shall be made available to Company on the Business Day following the Business Day so requested in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to Company’s operating account maintained with such bank as Company designated to Laurus. Any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder may be charged to Company’s account and shall constitute Loans.
(a) Interest.
(i) Except as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, Company shall pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan until such time as such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America.
(ii) Interest and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At Laurus’ option, Laurus may charge Company account for said interest.
(iii) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall automatically be
4
increased to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.
(iv) In no event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the “Maximum Legal Rate”) and if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate).
(v) Company shall pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.
(b) Payments.
(i) Closing/Annual Payments. Upon execution of this Agreement by Company and Laurus, Company shall pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC a closing payment in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Capital Availability Amount.

Such payments shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be subject to rebate or proration for any reason.
(ii) Collateral Management Payment. For underwriting, processing and supervising Company’s Accounts, Company shall pay Laurus a monthly collateral management payment in an amount equal to 0.35% of the average outstanding Loans during the immediately preceding month. Such payment shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears by a charge by Laurus to Company’s account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unpaid fee shall be immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement.
(iii) Unused Line Payment. If, for any month, the average outstanding Loans (the “Average Loan Amount”) do not equal the Capital Availability Amount, Company shall pay to Laurus at the end of such month a payment (calculated on a per annum basis) in an amount equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the amount by which the Capital Availability Amount exceeds the Average Loan Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unpaid fee shall be immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement.
(iv) Overadvance Payment. Without affecting Laurus’ rights hereunder in the event the Loans exceed the amounts permitted by Section 2 (“Overadvances”), in the event an Overadvance occurs or is made by Laurus, all such Overadvances shall bear interest at a monthly rate equal to 1.5% of the amount of such Overadvances for each month or portion thereof as such amounts shall be outstanding.
(v) Financial Information Default. Without affecting Laurus’ other rights and remedies, in the event Company fails to deliver the financial information required by
5
Section 11 on or before the date required by this Agreement, Company shall pay Laurus a fee in the amount of $500.00 per week (or portion thereof) for each such failure until such failure is cured to Laurus’ satisfaction or waived in writing by Laurus. Such fee shall be charged to Company’s account upon the occurrence of each such failure.

Company acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Laurus and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Laurus, subject to Company’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
(c) Company hereby grants to Laurus an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the termination of this Agreement due to an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to Company) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations.

(l) Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security (other than a concurrent offering to Laurus under a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Laurus dated as of September 11, 2003) under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings (other than such concurrent offering to Laurus).

(n) The Company understands the nature of the Securities issuable under the Ancillary Agreements and recognizes that the issuance of such Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.
(o) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement the Registration Rights Agreement executed by Company in favor of Laurus in any material respect.

At Company’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Laurus, Company shall (i) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which it has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to Company’s including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to Company’s insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of Company either directly or through Governmental Authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iv) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which Company is engaged in business; and (v) furnish Laurus with (x) certificates as to all such insurance coverages and evidence of the maintenance of such policies before any expiration date, (y) endorsements to such policies naming Laurus as “co-insured” or “additional insured” and appropriate loss payable endorsements (except with respect to the Premises) in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, naming Laurus as loss payee, and (z) evidence that as to Laurus the insurance coverage shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of Company and the insurer will provide Laurus with at least thirty (30) days notice prior to cancellation or expiration thereof.

If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to Company and Laurus jointly, Laurus may endorse Company’s name thereon and do such other things as Laurus may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Laurus is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims (except with respect to the Premises). All loss recoveries received by Laurus upon any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Laurus in its sole discretion shall determine or shall otherwise be delivered to the Company. Any surplus shall be paid by Laurus to Company or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Company to Laurus, on demand.
(h) Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants.
14. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Laurus and at the sole expense of Company, Company shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Laurus may request (a) to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the Ancillary
16
Agreements, (b) to protect, preserve and maintain Laurus’ rights in the Collateral and under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (c) to enable Laurus to exercise all or any of the rights and powers herein granted or any Ancillary Agreement.
15. Power of Attorney. Company hereby appoints Laurus, or any other Person whom Laurus may designate as Company’s attorney, with power to: (i) endorse Company’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into Laurus’ possession; (ii) sign Company’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records, verifications of Account and notices to or from Account Debtors; (iii) verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise with Account Debtors; (iv) do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and all related documents; and (v) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Company’s mail to an address designated by Laurus, and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Company. Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney. Neither Laurus, nor the attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as Laurus has a security interest and until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.
16. Term of Agreement. Laurus’ agreement to make Loans and extend financial accommodations under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Initial Term. At Laurus’ election following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus may terminate this Agreement. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any of Laurus’ rights hereunder or any Ancillary Agreement and the provisions hereof and thereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created and the Obligations have been disposed of, concluded or liquidated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Laurus shall release its security interests at any time after thirty (30) days notice upon payment to it of all Obligations if Companies shall have (i) provided Laurus with an executed release of any and all claims which Companies may have or thereafter have under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements and (ii) paid to Laurus an early payment fee in an amount equal to (1) three percent (3%) of the Capital Availability Amount if such payment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Initial Term or any applicable renewal term, and (2) two percent (2%) of the Capital Availability Amount if such payment occurs on or after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Term or any applicable renewal term; such fee being intended to compensate Laurus for its costs and expenses incurred in initially approving this Agreement or extending same. Such early payment fee shall also be due and payable by Company to Laurus upon termination by acceleration of this Agreement by Laurus due to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default which Laurus in good faith reasonably determines to have been caused by the Company for the purpose of causing the acceleration hereof to avoid paying any early payment fee pursuant to the preceding sentence.
17. Termination of Lien. The Liens and rights granted to Laurus hereunder and any Ancillary Agreements and the financing statements filed in connection herewith or therewith
17
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Company’s account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until (a) all of the Obligations of Company have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement. Laurus shall not be required to send termination statements to Company, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms and all Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds.

19
19. Remedies. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus shall have the right to demand repayment in full of all Obligations, whether or not otherwise due. Until all Obligations have been fully satisfied, Laurus shall retain its Lien in all Collateral. Laurus shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein and in each Ancillary Agreement, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and under other applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which Laurus may be entitled, including the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, to require Company to assemble the Collateral, at Company’s expense, and to make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus which is reasonably convenient to both parties and to enter any of the premises of Company or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Company, Company agrees not to charge Laurus for storage thereof), and the right to apply for the appointment of a receiver for Company’s property. Further, Laurus may, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and deliver all Collateral held by or for Laurus at public or private sale for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Laurus, in Laurus’ sole discretion, deems advisable or Laurus may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as Laurus, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company at Company’s address as shown in Laurus’ records, at least ten (10) days before the time of the event of which notice is being given. Laurus may be the purchaser at any sale, if it is public. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Laurus is granted permission to use all of Company’s trademarks, tradenames, tradestyles, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and second to the payment (in whatever order Laurus elects) of all Obligations. After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 608(a)(1) of the Code (but only after Laurus has received what Laurus considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Company or its representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Company shall remain liable to Laurus for any deficiency. In addition, Company shall pay Laurus a liquidation fee (“Liquidation Fee”) in the amount of five percent (5%) of the actual amount collected in respect of each Account outstanding at any time during a “liquidation period”. For purposes hereof, “liquidation period” means a period: (i) beginning on the earliest date of (x) an event referred to in Section 18(i) or 18(j), or (y) the cessation of Company’s business; and (ii) ending on the date on which Laurus has actually received all Obligations due and owing it under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Liquidation Fee shall be paid on the date on which Laurus collects the applicable Account by deduction from the proceeds thereof. Company and Laurus acknowledge that the actual damages that would be incurred by Laurus after the occurrence of an Event of Default would be difficult to quantity and that Company and Laurus have agreed that the fees and obligations set forth in this Section and in this Agreement would constitute fair and appropriate liquidated damages in the event of any such termination.
20. Waivers. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, Company waives (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any other notes,
20
commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Laurus on which Company may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Laurus’ taking possession or control of, or to Laurus’ replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Laurus to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.
21. Expenses. Company shall pay all of Laurus’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Company shall also pay all of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) Laurus’ obtaining performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by Company as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, Company’s Obligations hereunder and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. Company shall also pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for Company at Company’s request or in connection with Company’s loan account with Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and interest payable by Company to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between Company and Laurus which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay, Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and Company will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to Company’s account; and until Company shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to Company’s credit and Laurus shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral.
22. Assignment By Laurus. Laurus may assign any or all of the Obligations together with any or all of the security therefor to any Person which is not a competitor of the Company and any such transferee shall succeed to all of Laurus’ rights with respect thereto. Upon such transfer, Laurus shall be released from all responsibility for the Collateral to the extent same is assigned to any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as
21
Laurus with respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant. Company agrees that each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though Company were directly indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation.
23. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any other agreement between Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. Laurus’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Laurus may have.
24. Application of Payments. Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on Company’s behalf and Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus’ books and records.
25. Indemnity. Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus, and its respective affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
26. Revival. Company further agrees that to the extent Company makes a payment or payments to Laurus, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation
22
or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
27. Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Company or Laurus at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail or telecopy (confirmed by mail). Notices and requests shall be, in the case of those by hand delivery, deemed to have been given when delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) business days after the date when deposited in the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, and, in the case of a telecopy, when confirmed.
