AGREEMENT

1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LINE OF CREDIT

1.1 Line of Credit; Limitations on Borrowings; Termination Date; Use of Proceeds.

(a): Line of Credit and Limitations on Borrowing. Xxxxx Fargo shall make advances (each an "Advance", and collectively the "Advances") to Company under the Line of Credit that, together with the L/C Amount, shall not at any time exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (i) $4,750,000 (the "Maximum Line Amount"), or (ii) the Borrowing Base limitations described in Section 1.2. Within these limits, Company may periodically borrow, prepay in whole or in part, and reborrow. Xxxxx Fargo has no obligation to make an Advance during a Default Period or at any time Xxxxx Fargo believes that an Advance would result in an Event of Default.
(b): Maturity and Termination Dates. Company may request Advances from the date that the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement are satisfied until the earlier of: (i) April , 2011 (the "Maturity Date"), (ii) the date Company terminates the Line of Credit, or (iii) the date Xxxxx Fargo terminates the Line of Credit following an Event of Default. (The earliest of these dates is the "Termination Date.")
(c): Use of Line of Credit Proceeds. Company shall use the proceeds of each Line of Credit Advance and each Letter of Credit for ordinary working capital purposes, provided, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, up to $300,000 of the proceeds of the initial Line of Credit Advance may be used to purchase from Comerica Bank outstanding indebtedness of HemaCare Bioscience, Inc. ("HemaBio") to Comerica Bank (the "HemaBio Loan"). Documentation relating to the purchase of the HemaBio Loan shall be reasonably acceptable to Xxxxx Fargo, and the Collateral shall include without limitation the HemaBio Loan and all rights and remedies relating thereto and all collateral and security therefor. All proceeds received by Company from the payment or enforcement of the HemaBio Loan or otherwise arising out of the HemaBio Loan shall be remitted to Xxxxx Fargo in the same form received, and shall be applied by Xxxxx Fargo to the Indebtedness in such manner as Xxxxx Fargo shall determine in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall cause the assignee of that certain HemaBio Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors executed on or about December 4, 2007 to pay all proceeds thereof that would otherwise be paid to Comerica Bank or the Company to instead be paid directly to Xxxxx

Fargo, and Company shall execute all documentation that Xxxxx Fargo deems necessary in order to effect the same.

(d): Revolving Note. Company's obligation to repay Advances on the Line of Credit, regardless of how the Advances were initiated under Section 1.3 of this Agreement, shall be evidenced by a revolving promissory note (as periodically renewed, amended or replaced, the "Revolving Note").

1.2 Borrowing Base; Mandatory Prepayment.

(a): Borrowing Base. Aggregate unreimbursed Advances, plus the L/C Amount, shall not at any time exceed the borrowing base (the "Borrowing Base"), which is an amount equal to: (i) 85% of Eligible Accounts (or such lesser rate as Xxxxx Fargo in its good faith business judgment may deem appropriate from time to time with written notice to Company, provided that, as of any date of determination, said advance rate shall be reduced by one (1) percentage point for each percentage by which Dilution is in excess of five percent (5.0%)) less (ii) the Borrowing Base Reserve, less (iii) Indebtedness that Company owes Xxxxx Fargo that has not been advanced on the Revolving Note (exclusive of the Cap Ex Loans), less (iv) Indebtedness that Xxxxx Fargo in its sole discretion finds on the date of determination to be equal to Xxxxx Fargo's net credit exposure with respect to any swap, derivative, foreign exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or similar product or transaction extended to Company by Xxxxx Fargo that is not otherwise described in Section 1 of this Agreement and any Indebtedness owed by Company to Xxxxx Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C.
(b): Mandatory Prepayment; Overadvances. If unreimbursed Advances evidenced by the Revolving Note plus the L/C Amount exceed the Borrowing Base at any time, then Company shall immediately prepay the Revolving Note in an amount sufficient to eliminate the excess, and if payment in full of the Revolving Note is insufficient to eliminate this excess and the L/C Amount continues to exceed the Borrowing Base, then Company shall deliver cash to Xxxxx Fargo in an amount equal to the remaining excess for deposit to the Special Account, unless in each case, Xxxxx Fargo has delivered to Company an Authenticated Record consenting to the resulting Overadvance prior to its occurrence, in which event the Overadvance shall be temporarily permitted on such terms and conditions as Xxxxx Fargo in its sole discretion may deem appropriate, including the payment of additional fees or interest, or both.

1.3 Procedures for Advances.

(a): Line of Credit Advances to Operating Account. Line of Credit Advances to HemaCare Corporation shall be credited to HemaCare Corporation's operating account # 4121672778 maintained with Xxxxx Fargo (the "HemaCare Operating Account"), unless Xxxxx Fargo and Company agree in a Record Authenticated by both parties to disburse to another account. Line of Credit Advances to Coral Blood Services, Inc. shall be credited to Coral Blood Services, Inc.'s operating account # 4121672794 maintained with Xxxxx Fargo (the "Coral Blood Operating Account" which together with the HemaCare Operating Account is referred to herein as the "Operating Account"), unless Xxxxx Fargo and Company agree in a Record Authenticated by both parties to disburse to another account.

(i) Advances upon Company's Request. Each Advance will be funded as a Floating Rate Advance upon Company's request, which must be communicated to Xxxxx Fargo no later than 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time on the Business Day on which Company wants the Advance to be funded, and no request will be deemed received until Xxxxx Fargo acknowledges receipt, and Company, if requested by Xxxxx Fargo, confirms the request in an Authenticated Record. Company shall repay all Advances, even if the Person requesting the Advance on behalf of Company lacked authorization.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b): Protective Advances; Advances to Pay Indebtedness Due. Xxxxx Fargo may initiate a Floating Rate Advance on the Line of Credit in its sole discretion for any reason at any time, without Company's compliance with any of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and (i) disburse the proceeds directly to third Persons in order to protect Xxxxx Fargo's interest in Collateral or to perform any of Company's obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) apply the proceeds to the amount of any Indebtedness then due and payable to Xxxxx Fargo.

1.4 Collection of Accounts and Application to Revolving Note.

(a): Xxxxx Fargo's Collection Account. Company has granted a security interest to Xxxxx Fargo in the Collateral, including all Accounts. Except as otherwise agreed by both parties in an Authenticated Record, all Proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral of HemaCare Corporation, upon receipt or collection, shall be deposited each Business Day into a non interest bearing demand deposit account owned by and maintained with Xxxxx Fargo (the "HemaCare Collection Account"). Except as otherwise agreed by both parties in an Authenticated Record, all Proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral of Coral Blood Services, Inc., upon receipt or collection, shall be deposited each Business Day into a non interest bearing demand deposit account owned by and maintained with Xxxxx Fargo (the "Coral Blood Collection Account" which together with the HemaCare Corporation Collection Account is referred to herein as the "Collection Account")). Funds so deposited ("Account Funds") are the property of Xxxxx Fargo, and may only be withdrawn from the Collection Account by Xxxxx Fargo.
(b): Payment of Accounts by Company's Account Debtors. Company shall instruct all account debtors to pay Accounts owed to Company as follows:

(i) Payments by Check. If account debtors are making payments by check, Company will instruct that all such payments be sent directly to Company's post office box (the "Lockbox"), to which Xxxxx Fargo has been given exclusive access by separate agreement, and Xxxxx Fargo shall deposit all such payments received into the Lockbox directly to the Collection Account.

(ii) Wire Transfers through Ready Remit^SM Service. If Company has separately contracted with Xxxxx Fargo to use the Xxxxx Fargo Ready Remit^SM service ("Ready Remit"), Company may instruct account debtors to make payments by wire transfer that conform to the requirements of Ready Remit, and all conforming payments shall be wire transferred directly to Xxxxx Fargo's general account.

(iii) All Other Forms of Payment. If account debtors are making payment by any means other than by check, or by check for delivery to Xxxxx Fargo without initial delivery to the Lockbox, Company will instruct that all such payments be sent directly to Xxxxx Fargo for deposit to the Collection Account pursuant to such other product or service agreed to by the parties in a service description to the Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services.

If Company receives a payment or the Proceeds of Collateral directly, Company will promptly deposit the payment or Proceeds into the Collection Account. Until deposited, Company shall hold all such payments and Proceeds in trust for Xxxxx Fargo as its property without commingling with other funds or property. All deposits held in the Collection Account shall constitute Proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute the payment of Indebtedness.

(c): Application of Payments to Revolving Note.

(i) Payments Received into the Collection Account. Account Funds deposited to the Collection Account will be processed in accordance with the terms of the Collection Account service description to the Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services. Xxxxx Fargo will withdraw Account Funds deposited to the Collection Account and pay down borrowings on the

Line of Credit by applying them to the Revolving Note on the first Business Day following the Business Day of deposit to the Collection Account.

(ii) Payments Received via Ready Remit. If Company uses Ready Remit, conforming wire transfers received directly by Xxxxx Fargo shall be applied to the Revolving Note on the Business Day of receipt, if received no later than 12:30 p.m. Central Time, or the next Business Day if received after 12:30 p.m. Central Time.

1.4A Cap Ex Loans.

(a): Cap Ex Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Xxxxx Fargo, shall, from time to time, make available Advances to Company (each, a "Cap Ex Loan" and collectively, the "Cap Ex Loans") to finance Company's purchase of new Eligible Equipment acquired after the date hereof (the "Cap Ex Equipment") for use in Company's business. All such Cap Ex Loans shall be in such amounts as are requested by Company, but in no event shall any Cap Ex Loan exceed eighty percent (80%) percent of the net invoice cost (excluding taxes, shipping, delivery, handling, installation, labor, overhead and other so-called "soft" costs) of the Cap Ex Equipment then to be purchased by Company and the total amount of all Cap Ex Loans outstanding hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Once repaid Cap Ex Loans may not be reborrowed.
(b): Cap Ex Note. Company's obligation to repay each Cap Ex Loan shall be evidenced by an installment promissory note (as renewed, amended, or replaced from time to time, the "Cap Ex Note").
(c): Cap Ex Loan Period; Disbursements. Cap Ex Loans may only be requested and made during the period from the date hereof to the first anniversary of the date hereof (the "Cap Ex Loan Period"). A total of not more than five disbursements of Cap Ex Loans shall be made, and each disbursement shall be in the amount of not less than $50,000. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, in the event Company desires an Cap Ex Loan, Company shall give Xxxxx Fargo at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice, which notice shall be accompanied by the invoice with respect to the Cap Ex Equipment being financed with the Cap Ex Loan, evidence of delivery of the same to Company and such other information with respect thereto as Xxxxx Fargo shall request. Xxxxx Fargo shall deposit the proceeds of each Cap Ex Loan to Company's Operating Account. Upon request, Company shall confirm its request for a Cap Ex Loan in an Authenticated Record, and agrees that it shall repay the Cap Ex Loan even if the Person requesting any Cap Ex Loan on behalf of Company lacked authorization.
(d): Condition. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the disbursement of each Cap Ex Loan is conditioned on Company meeting the following requirement: Company shall have a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the 12 month period ending with the date of the most recent financial statements of Company of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, assuming for purposes of calculating such Debt Service Coverage Ratio that the Cap Ex Loan to be disbursed was outstanding throughout said 12-month period and was repayable in 36 equal monthly installments throughout said 12-month period.
(e): Repayment. Each disbursement of a Cap Ex Loan shall accrue interest only at the rate provided for herein for the first three months after such Cap Ex Loan disbursement; provided, however, on each of the third, sixth, ninth and twelfth month anniversary date of this Agreement, the principal amount of all outstanding Cap Ex Loan disbursements made during such three month period (months 1 through 3, months 4 through 6, months 7 through 9 and months 10 through 12) shall be aggregated into a single Cap Ex Loan disbursement and shall be repaid in 36 equal monthly installments, plus interest, commencing on the first day of the month on or immediately following the three month (or, as applicable, six month, nine month or twelve month) anniversary date of

this Agreement and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the Termination Date, on which date the entire unpaid balance of all Cap Ex Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable.

As an example, assuming this Agreement is dated March 31, 2008, and assuming a Cap Ex Loan disbursement is made in the amount of $50,000 on each of April 1, May 1, and June1, then the Company will pay interest only on such disbursements as follows: (i) on the April 1 disbursement, interest only payments for April, May and June, (ii) on the May 1 disbursement, interest only payments for May and June and (iii) on the June 1 disbursement, an interest only payment for June. On July 1 (the first of the month on or immediately following the three month anniversary of the date of this Agreement), the outstanding principal balance of the April 1, May 1 and June 1 disbursements will be aggregated into a single Cap Ex Loan disbursement of $150,000 and shall be repaid in 36 equal monthly installments of principal (commencing on July 1), as provided for above, plus interest as provided for herein. The same procedure would apply for any Cap Ex Loan disbursements made from July 2008 through September 2008, from October 2008 through December 2008 and from January 2009 through March 2009.

(f): [intentionally omitted]
(g): Event of Loss. Company shall bear the risk of any loss, theft, destruction, or damage of or to the Cap Ex Equipment. If, during the term of this Agreement, any item of Cap Ex Equipment becomes obsolete or is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason (an "Event of Loss"), then, within ten (10) days following such Event of Loss, Company shall (i) pay to Xxxxx Fargo on account of the Indebtedness all accrued interest to the date of the prepayment, plus all outstanding principal owing with respect to the Cap Ex Equipment subject to the Event of Loss; or (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Company's option, repair or replace any Cap Ex Equipment subject to an Event of Loss, provided the repaired or replaced Cap Ex Equipment is of equal or like value to the Cap Ex Equipment subject to an Event of Loss, and provided further that Xxxxx Fargo has a first priority perfected security interest in such repaired or replaced Cap Ex Equipment. Any partial prepayment of an Equipment Advance paid by Company on account of an Event of Loss shall be applied to prepay amounts owing for such Equipment Advance in the inverse order of maturity.
(h): Application of Prepayments; Cap Ex Loan Payable on Termination Date. All prepayments of principal with respect to the Cap Ex Note, including those required under the terms of this Agreement, shall be accompanied by any prepayment and contracted funds breakage fees payable under this Agreement, and shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid. On the Termination Date of the Line of Credit, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Cap Ex Note and any accrued and unpaid interest, prepayment, and contracted funds breakage fees shall also be fully due and payable.
1.5: Liability Records. Xxxxx Fargo shall maintain accounting and bookkeeping records of all Advances and payments under the Line of Credit and all other Indebtedness due to Xxxxx Fargo in such form and content as Xxxxx Fargo in its sole discretion deems appropriate. Xxxxx Fargo's calculation of current Indebtedness shall be presumed correct unless proven otherwise by Company. Upon Xxxxx Fargo's request, Company will admit and certify in a Record the exact principal balance of the Indebtedness that Company then believes to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting provided by Xxxxx Fargo shall be conclusive and binding unless Company notifies Xxxxx Fargo in a detailed Record of its intention to dispute the billing statement or accounting within 30 days of receipt.

1.6 Interest and Interest Related Matters; Application of Payments.

(a): Interest Rates Applicable to Line of Credit and Cap Ex Loans.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of each Advance evidenced by the Revolving Note shall accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate minus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), which interest rate shall change whenever the Prime Rate changes.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of each Advance evidenced by the Cap Ex Note shall accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus zero percent (0.0%), which interest rate shall change whenever the Prime Rate changes.

(b): Minimum Interest Charge. Notwithstanding the other terms of Section 1.6 of this Agreement to the contrary, and except as limited by the usury savings provision set forth in Section 1.6(e), Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo at least $14,000 of interest each calendar month with respect to the Line of Credit (the "Minimum Interest Charge") during the term of this Agreement, and Company shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise payable on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date. When calculating this deficiency, the Default Rate set forth in Section 1.6(c) of this Agreement, if applicable, shall be disregarded.
(c): Default Interest Rate. Commencing on the day an Event of Default occurs, through and including the date identified by Xxxxx Fargo in a Record as the date that the Event of Default has been cured or waived (each such period a "Default Period"), or during a time period specified in Section 1.9 of this Agreement, or at any time following the Termination Date, in Xxxxx Fargo's sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, the principal amount of each of the Revolving Note and Cap Ex Note shall bear interest at a rate that is three percent (3.0%) above the contractual rate set forth in Section 1.6(a) of this Agreement (the "Default Rate"), or any lesser rate that Xxxxx Fargo may deem appropriate, starting on the first day of the month in which the Default Period begins through the last day of that Default Period, or any shorter time period to which Xxxxx Fargo may agree in an Authenticated Record.
(d): Interest Accrual on Payments Applied to Revolving Note. Payments received by Xxxxx Fargo other than by wire transfer shall be applied to the Revolving Note as provided in Section 1.4(c)(i) of this Agreement, but the principal amount paid down shall continue to accrue interest through the end of the third Business Day following the Business Day that the payment was applied to the Revolving Note. If Company uses Ready Remit, then payments received by Xxxxx Fargo shall be applied to Indebtedness advanced on the Revolving Note as provided in Section 1.4(c)(ii) of this Agreement, but the amount of principal paid shall continue to accrue interest through the end of the third Business Day following the Business Day that the payment was applied to the Revolving Note.
(e): Usury. No interest rate shall be effective which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Payments in the nature of interest and other charges made under any Loan Documents that are later determined to be in excess of the limits imposed by applicable usury law will be deemed to be a payment of principal, and the Indebtedness shall be reduced by that amount so that such payments will not be deemed usurious.

1.7 Fees.

(a): Origination Fee. Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo a one time origination fee of $100,000, which shall be fully earned upon the execution of this Agreement and payable as follows: (i) $50,000

payable upon the execution of this Agreement, (ii) $25,000 payable on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) the Termination Date and (iii) $25,000 payable on the earlier of (a) the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) the Termination Date.

(b): Unused Line Fee. Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo an annual unused line fee of one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the daily average of the Maximum Line Amount reduced by outstanding Advances (the "Unused Amount"), from the date of this Agreement to and including the Termination Date, which unused line fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date.
(c): Facility Fee. [None].
(d): Collateral Exam Fees. Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo fees in connection with any collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of Xxxxx Fargo at the current rates established from time to time by Xxxxx Fargo as its collateral exam fees (which fees are currently $105 per hour per collateral examiner), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any collateral examination or inspection.
(e): Collateral Monitoring Fees. Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo a fee at the rates established from time to time by Xxxxx Fargo as its Collateral monitoring fees (which fees are currently $400 per month), due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the month and on the Termination Date. In addition, Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo a one-time set-up fee $750, due and payable on the date hereof.
(f): Termination and Line Reduction Fees. If (i) Xxxxx Fargo terminates the Line of Credit during a Default Period, or if (ii) Company terminates the Line of Credit on a date prior to the Maturity Date, or if (iii) Company and Xxxxx Fargo agree to reduce the Maximum Line Amount, then Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo as liquidated damages a termination or reduction fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Maximum Line Amount (or the reduction of the Maximum Line Amount, as the case may be) calculated as follows:

(A) three percent (3.00%) if the termination occurs on or before the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement;

(B) two percent (2.00%) if the termination or reduction occurs after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, but on or before the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement; and

(C) one percent (1.00%) if the termination or reduction occurs after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement;

provided that the foregoing termination fees shall not be charged if, more than 18 months after the date hereof the credit facilities provided by this Agreement are refinanced by the Xxxxxxx Hills Regional Corporate Banking office of Xxxxx Fargo Bank.

(g): Overadvance Fees. Except in instances in which an Overadvance results due to a Xxxxx Fargo calculation error (in which instance no Overadvance fee will apply), Company shall pay a $500 Overadvance fee for each day that an Overadvance exists which was not agreed to by Xxxxx Fargo in an Authenticated Record prior to its occurrence; provided that Xxxxx Fargo's acceptance of the payment of such fees shall not constitute either consent to the Overadvance or waiver of the resulting Event of Default. Company shall pay additional Overadvance fees and interest in such amounts and on such terms as Xxxxx Fargo in its sole discretion may consider appropriate for any Overadvance to which Xxxxx Fargo has specifically consented in an Authenticated Record prior to its occurrence.

(h): Letter of Credit Fees. Company shall pay a fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by Xxxxx Fargo of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the aggregate undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit (the "Aggregate Face Amount") accruing daily from and including the date the Letter of Credit is issued until the date that it either expires or is returned, which shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the date that the Letter of Credit either expires or is returned; and following an Event of Default, this fee shall increase to three percent (3.0%) of the Aggregate Face Amount, commencing on the first day of the month in which the Default Period begins and continuing through the last day of such Default Period, or any shorter time period that Xxxxx Fargo in its sole discretion may deem appropriate, without waiving any of its other rights and remedies.
(i): Letter of Credit Administrative Fees. Company shall pay all administrative fees charged by Xxxxx Fargo in connection with the honoring of drafts under any Letter of Credit, and any amendments to or transfers of any Letter of Credit, and any other activity with respect to the Letters of Credit at the current rates published by Xxxxx Fargo for such services rendered on behalf of its customers generally.
(j): Treasury Management Fees. Company will pay service fees to Xxxxx Fargo for treasury management services pursuant to the Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services or any other agreement entered into by the parties, in the amount prescribed in Xxxxx Fargo's current service fee schedule.
(k): Other Fees and Charges. Xxxxx Fargo may impose additional fees and charges during a Default Period for (i) waiving an Event of Default, or for (ii) the administration of Collateral by Xxxxx Fargo. All such fees and charges shall be imposed at Xxxxx Fargo's sole discretion following oral notice to Company on either an hourly, periodic, or flat fee basis, and in lieu of or in addition to imposing interest at the Default Rate, and Company's request for an Advance following such notice shall constitute Company's agreement to pay such fees and charges.
(l): [Intentionally Omitted]
(m): Contracted Funds Breakage Fees; Cap Ex Note. Company may prepay the principal amount of the Cap Ex Note at any time in any amount, whether voluntarily or by acceleration, subject to the payment of all of the following fees, provided that the prepayment fee set forth below shall not be charged if, more than 18 months after the date hereof the credit facilities provided by this Agreement are refinanced by the Xxxxxxx Hills Regional Corporate Banking office of Xxxxx Fargo Bank:

If the Cap Ex Note is prepaid for any reason and the Line of Credit is terminated by Company within thirty (30) days of such prepayment, the Company shall pay to the Lender a prepayment fee with regard to the Cap Ex Note in an amount equal to (i) three percent (3.00%) of the amount of the Cap Ex Loan prepaid, if prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the funding date of such Cap Ex Loan; (ii) two percent (2.00%) of the amount of the Cap Ex Loan prepaid, if prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the funding date of such Cap Ex Loan but on or before the second anniversary of the funding date of such Cap Ex Loan; and (iii) one percent (1.00%) of the amount of the Cap Ex Loan prepaid, if prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the funding date of such Cap Ex Loan.

Company acknowledges that prepayment of the Cap Ex Note may result in Xxxxx Fargo incurring additional costs, expenses or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses or liabilities. Company therefore agrees to pay the above-described contracted funds breakage fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the contracted funds breakage costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Xxxxx Fargo.

1.8 Interest Accrual; Principal and Interest Payments; Computation.

(a): Interest Payments and Interest Accrual. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the first day of each month (each an "Interest Payment Date") and on the Termination Date. Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of Advance to the Interest Payment Date.
(b): Payment of Revolving Note Principal. The principal amount of the Revolving Note shall be paid from time to time as provided in Section 1.2(b), and shall be fully due and payable on the Termination Date.
(c): Payments Due on Non-Business Days. If an Interest Payment Date or the Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next Business Day, and interest shall continue to accrue during that time period.
(d): Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Note and fees payable under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

1.9 Termination, Reduction or Non-Renewal of Line of Credit by Company; Notice.

(a): Termination by Company after Advance Notice. Company may terminate or reduce the Line of Credit at any time prior to the Maturity Date, if it (i) delivers an Authenticated Record notifying Xxxxx Fargo of its intentions at least 30 days prior to the proposed Termination Date, (ii) pays Xxxxx Fargo the termination fee set forth in Section 1.7(f) of this Agreement, and (iii) pays the Indebtedness in full or down to the reduced Maximum Line Amount.
(b): Termination by Company without Advance Notice. If Company fails to deliver Xxxxx Fargo timely notice of its intention to terminate the Line of Credit or reduce the Maximum Line Amount as provided in Section 1.9(a) of this Agreement, Company may nevertheless terminate the Line of Credit or reduce the Maximum Line Amount and pay the Indebtedness in full or down to the reduced Maximum Line Amount if it (i) pays the termination fee set forth in Section 1.7(f) of this Agreement, (ii) pays the Default Rate on the Revolving Note commencing on the 30^th day prior to the proposed Termination Date and continuing through the date that Xxxxx Fargo receives delivery of an Authenticated Record giving it actual notice of Company's intention to terminate.
(c): Non-Renewal by Company; Notice. If Company does not wish Xxxxx Fargo to consider renewal of the Line of Credit on the next Maturity Date, Company shall deliver an Authenticated Record to Xxxxx Fargo at least 30 days prior to the Maturity Date notifying Xxxxx Fargo of its intention not to renew. If Company fails to deliver to Xxxxx Fargo such timely notice, then the Revolving Note shall accrue interest at the Default Rate commencing on the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date and continuing through the date that Xxxxx Fargo receives delivery of an Authenticated Record giving it actual notice of Company's intention not to renew.

1.10 Letters of Credit

(a): Issuance of Letters of Credit; Amount. Xxxxx Fargo, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall issue, on or after the date that Xxxxx Fargo is obligated to make its first Advance under this Agreement and prior to six months before the Termination Date, one or more irrevocable standby or documentary letters of credit (each, a "Letter of Credit", and collectively, "Letters of Credit") for Company's account. Xxxxx Fargo will not issue any Letter of Credit if the face amount of the Letter of Credit would exceed the lesser of: (i) $900,000 less the L/C Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base.

(b): Additional Letter of Credit Documentation. Prior to requesting issuance of a Letter of Credit, Company shall first execute and deliver to Xxxxx Fargo a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement or Commercial Letter of Credit Agreement, an L/C Application, and any other documents that Xxxxx Fargo may request, which shall govern the issuance of the Letter of Credit and Company's obligation to reimburse Xxxxx Fargo for any related Letter of Credit draws (the "Obligation of Reimbursement").
(c): Expiration. No Letter of Credit shall be issued that has an expiry date that is later than one (1) year from the date of issuance, or the Maturity Date in effect on the date of issuance, whichever is earlier.
(d): Obligation of Reimbursement During Default Periods. If Company is unable, due to the existence of a Default Period or for any other reason, to obtain an Advance to pay any Obligation of Reimbursement, Company shall pay Xxxxx Fargo on demand and in immediately available funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date presentment of the underlying draft until reimbursement in full at the Default Rate. Xxxxx Fargo is authorized, alternatively and in its sole discretion, to make an Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of Reimbursement and pay all accrued but unpaid interest and fees with respect to the Obligation of Reimbursement.
1.11: Special Account. If the Line of Credit is terminated for any reason while a Letter of Credit is outstanding, or if after prepayment of the Revolving Note the L/C Amount continues to exceed the Borrowing Base, then Company shall promptly pay Xxxxx Fargo in immediately available funds for deposit to the Special Account, an amount equal, as the case may be, to either (a) the L/C Amount plus any anticipated fees and costs, or (b) the amount by which the L/C Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base. If Company fails to pay these amounts promptly, then Xxxxx Fargo may in its sole discretion make an Advance to pay these amounts and deposit the proceeds to the Special Account. The Special Account shall be an interest bearing account maintained with Xxxxx Fargo or any other financial institution acceptable to Xxxxx Fargo.

Delivery by fax or by encrypted e-mail or e-mail file attachment of any counterpart to any Loan Document Authenticated by an authorized signature will be deemed the equivalent of the delivery of the original Authenticated instrument. Company shall send the original Authenticated counterpart to Xxxxx Fargo by first class U.S. mail or by overnight courier, but Company's failure to deliver a Record in this form shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

received until actual receipt by Xxxxx Fargo on a Business Day by an authorized employee of Xxxxx Fargo.

(d): Confidentiality of Unencrypted E-mail. Company acknowledges that if it sends an Electronic Record to Xxxxx Fargo without encryption by e-mail or as an e-mail file attachment, there is a risk that the Electronic Record may be received by unauthorized Persons, and that by so doing it will be deemed to have accepted this risk and the consequences of any such unauthorized disclosure.

statements, control agreements and other agreements that Xxxxx Fargo may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or Xxxxx Fargo's rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that Company executes, delivers, endorses or authorizes the filing of any such item shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion).

7.7: Costs and Expenses. Company shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Xxxxx Fargo in connection with the Indebtedness, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other document or agreement related to this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.
7.8: Indemnity. In addition to its obligation to pay Xxxxx Fargo's expenses under the terms of this Agreement, Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Xxxxx Fargo, its parent Xxxxx Fargo & Company, and any of its affiliates and successors, and all of their present and future Officers, Directors, employees, attorneys and agents (the "Indemnitees") from and against any of the following (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"):
(a): Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the making of the Advances;

(c): Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with this Agreement and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party to such proceedings, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances, with the exception of any Indemnified Liability caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding described in this Section is brought against any Indemnitee, upon the Indemnitee's request, Company, or counsel designated by Company and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend the action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at Company's sole cost and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If this agreement to indemnify is held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Company shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent permissible under applicable law.

To the extent permitted by law, Company waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which Company could assert against Xxxxx Fargo. This Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower. This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, whether oral or evidenced in a Record. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement contradicts other provisions of the Loan Documents other than this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

7.15 Arbitration.

(a): Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.
(b): Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any

of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the "Rules"). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c): No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.
(d): Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.
(e): Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the

request for discovery is essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f): Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.
(g): Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.
(h): Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA's selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
(i): Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT have executed this Agreement through their duly authorized officers as of the date set forth above.
