RECITALS

 

Borrower has requested that Bank extend or continue credit to Borrower as
described below, and Bank has agreed to provide such credit to Borrower on the
terms and conditions contained herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

CREDIT TERMS

 

1.1 LINE OF CREDIT.

 

(a) Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank
hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including
November 1, 2006, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of
Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) (“Line of Credit”), the
proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s working capital
requirements. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit
shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of May 1, 2004 (“Line of Credit
Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

(b) Limitation on Borrowings. Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit,
to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any time
exceed an aggregate of eighty-five percent (85%) of Borrower’s eligible accounts
receivable, plus fifty percent (50%) of the value of Borrower’s eligible
inventory (exclusive of work in process and inventory which is obsolete,
unsaleable or damaged), with value defined as the lower of cost or market value;
provided however, that outstanding borrowings against inventory shall not at any
time exceed an aggregate of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). All of the
foregoing shall be determined by Bank upon receipt and review of all collateral
reports required hereunder and such other documents and collateral information
as Bank may from time to time require. Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing
base was established by Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the
aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the
immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five
percent (5%) of Borrower’s gross sales for said period. If such dilution of
Borrower’s accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time
exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrower’s gross sales for said period, or if there
at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which
Bank reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of Borrower’s
accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate
against eligible accounts receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such
additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against Borrower’s
eligible accounts receivable.

 

As used herein, “eligible accounts receivable” shall consist solely of trade
accounts created in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon which
Borrower’s right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the
fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Bank has a perfected
security interest of first priority, and shall not include:

 

(i) any account which is past due more than twice Borrower’s standard selling
terms;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) that portion of any account for which there exists any right of setoff,
defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of
business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has
been asserted;

 

(iii) any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal
government or of the United States government or any political subdivision
thereof (except accounts which represent obligations of the United States
government and for which the assignment provisions of the Federal Assignment of
Claims Act, as amended or recodified from time to time, have been complied with
to Bank’s satisfaction);

 

(iv) any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor located in
a foreign country;

 

(v) any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of
services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner,
member, parent or subsidiary of Borrower;

 

(vi) that portion of any account, which represents interim or progress billings
or retention rights on the part of the account debtor;

 

(vii) any account which represents an obligation of any account debtor when
twenty percent (20%) or more of Borrower’s accounts from such account debtor are
not eligible pursuant to (i) above;

 

(viii) that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents the
amount by which Borrower’s total accounts from said account debtor exceeds
twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s total accounts, except that Borrower’s
total accounts from account debtors Obesity Research, Fiber Thin and Mannatech,
Inc. shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) as determined by semi-monthly
report pursuant to Section 4.3.(d) below;

 

(ix) any account deemed ineligible by Bank when Bank, in its sole discretion,
deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account debtor, or the
industry in which the account debtor is engaged, to be unsatisfactory.

 

(c) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank
agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate
to issue standby or commercial letters of credit for the account of Borrower
(each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided
however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
shall not at any time exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). The
form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by
Bank, in its sole discretion. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date
subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The undrawn amount of all
Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be
available for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to
the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements,
applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the
issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an
advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances;
provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available,
for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately
pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date
such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the
rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event
Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account
maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing.

 

(d) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of
the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings,
and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained
herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.9 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,

all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

7.10 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

7.11 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.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
as of the day and year first written above.

   REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE       

$8,000,000.00

  

Carlsbad, California

May 1, 2004

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Natural Alternatives International, Inc.
(“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Carlsbad LPO, 5857 Owens Avenue, Suite
106, Carlsbad, CA 92008, or at such other place as the holder hereof may
designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of $8,000,000.00, or so much thereof as may
be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each
advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

 

1. DEFINITIONS:

 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after
each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth
at the place defined:

 

1.1 “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on
which commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to close.

 

1.2 “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing
for 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a
portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may
be selected for a principal amount less than $100,000.00; and provided further,
that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof.
If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such
Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

 

1.3 “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) determined by dividing Base LIBOR by a percentage equal
to 100% less any LIBOR Reserve Percentage.

 

(a) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding
that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates
of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate
Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal
to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately
equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower
understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market
Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank
Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited
to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

 

(b) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
“Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve
Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve
percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

 

1.4 “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced
within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding
that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon
which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making
reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its
announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.

 

PROMNOTE.CA (01/03)    20040421030 / Page 1      Revolving Line of Credit Note
          62596, #6411046333          

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. INTEREST:

 

2.1 Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (a) at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time,
or (b) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be 1.75000% above LIBOR
in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is
determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest
hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced
within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR selection option selected hereunder,
Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and
Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books
and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule
attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information noted.

 

2.2 Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note
bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower
at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion
thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for
a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this
Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may
convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in
relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as
Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for
all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of
each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (a) the
interest rate option selected by Borrower; (b) the principal amount subject
thereto; and (c) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed
Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic
method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (i)
if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not
later than 3 Business Days after such notice is given, and (ii) such notice is
given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at
a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without
obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to
Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by
Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from
Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed
rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is
requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be
deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the
principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

 

2.3 Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon
demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and
all (a) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes
(except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign
governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (b) future,
supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage,
assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or
similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental
authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are
not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing
are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any
reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and
binding upon Borrower.

 

2.4 Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the
1st day of each month, commencing June 1, 2004.

 

2.5 Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such
earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to 4% above the rate of

3. BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

 

3.1 Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of
this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and
reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note
and of the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank defined below; provided
however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any
time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of
this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the
holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any
Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder.
The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full
on November 1, 2006.

 

3.2 Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum
available hereunder, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of
(a) John Reaves or Randell Weaver, any one acting alone, who are authorized to
request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice
of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office
designated above, or (b) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the
credit of any deposit account of any Borrower, which advances, when so
deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the
benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those
authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account.
The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting
an advance is or has been authorized by any Borrower.

 

3.3 Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited
first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance
hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the
outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in
relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the outstanding principal
balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with
such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first.

 

4. PREPAYMENT:

 

4.1 Prime Rate. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which
bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any
amount and without penalty.

 

4.2 LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount
of $100,000.00; provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of
such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment
amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In
consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any
such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the
last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise,
Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the
discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment
through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows
for each such month:

 

(a) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the
amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained
outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.

 

(b) Subtract from the amount determined in (a) above the amount of interest
which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the
remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of
prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to
the amount prepaid.

 

(c) If the result obtained in (b) for any month is greater than zero, discount
that difference by LIBOR used in (b) above.

          62596, #6411046333          

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank
incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is
difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Each Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described
prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of
the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to
pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum 2.000% above the Prime
Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year,
actual days elapsed). Each change in the rate of interest on any such past due
prepayment fee shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is
announced within Bank.

 

5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that
certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of May 1, 2004, as
amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment
or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of
default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under
this Note.

 

6. MISCELLANEOUS:

 

6.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this
Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest
outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of
dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by each Borrower, and the
obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall
immediately cease and terminate. Each Borrower shall pay to the holder
immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside
counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended
or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s
rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under
this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to
this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief,
whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding
or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any
bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding,
contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to any
Borrower or any other person or entity.

 

6.2 Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign
this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint
and several.

 

6.3 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first
written above.

TERM NOTE

 

$700,000.00

  

Carlsbad, California

     May 1, 2004

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Natural Alternatives International, Inc.
(“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Carlsbad LPO, 5857 Owens Avenue, Suite
106, Carlsbad, California, or at such other place as the holder hereof may
designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($700,000.00), with interest thereon as set forth herein.

 

DEFINITIONS:

 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after
each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth
at the place defined:

 

(a) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on
which commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(b) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period of 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months, as designated
by Borrower, during which the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note
bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with the understanding that (i)
the initial Fixed Rate Term shall commence on the date this Note is disbursed,
(ii) each successive Fixed Rate Term shall commence automatically, and without
notice to or consent from Borrower, on the first Business Day following the date
on which the immediately preceding Fixed Rate Term matures, and (iii) if, on the
first Business Day of the last Fixed Rate Term applicable hereto the remaining
term of this Note is less than 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months, said Fixed Rate Term
shall be in effect only until the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed
Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate
Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(c) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest whole 1/8 of 1 %) and determined pursuant to the following formula:

 

LIBOR =                       Base LIBOR                      

                  100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage  

 

(i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding
that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates
of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate
Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal
to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately
equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower
understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market
Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank
Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited
to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

 

    -1-    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
“Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve
Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve
percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

 

(d) “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced
within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding
that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon
which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making
reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its
announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.

 

INTEREST:

 

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
(computed an the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate
per annum determined by Bank to be two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) above
LIBOR in effect on the first day of each Fixed Rate Term. With respect to each
Fixed Rate Term hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date and
interest rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books
and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule
attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information noted. At the time this Note is disbursed and at the
end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying the
length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by
telephone so long as (i) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written
confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is
given, and (ii) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first
day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank,
at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice
and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a
fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent
LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the
applicable fixed rate. If Bank has not received such notice at the time
principal is disbursed hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected the shortest permitted Fixed Rate Term.

 

(b) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon
demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and
all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes
(except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign
governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future,
supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage,
assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or
similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental
authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are
not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing
are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any
reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and
binding upon Borrower.

 

(c) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the
1st day of each month, commencing June 1, 2004.

 

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such
earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above
the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

 

REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT:

 

(a) Repayment. Principal shall be payable on the 1st day of each month in
installments of Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Dollars ($2,920.00) each,
commencing June 1, 2004, and continuing up to and including March 1, 2014, with
a final installment consisting of all remaining unpaid principal due and payable
in full on April 1, 2014.

 

(b) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited
first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance
hereof.

 

(c) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay principal on this Note at any time and in
the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided
however, that if the outstanding principal balance of this Note is less than
said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding
principal balance hereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment
option to Borrower, or if this Note shall become due and payable at any time
prior to the last day of any Fixed Rate Term by acceleration or otherwise,
Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the
discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment
through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows
for each such month:

 

  (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on
the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it
remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable
thereto.

 

  (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest
which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the
remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of
prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to
the amount prepaid.

 

  (iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero,
discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

 

Each Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank
incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is
difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Each Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described
prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of
the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to
pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2%) above
the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day
year, actual days elapsed).

 

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All prepayments of principal shall be applied on the most remote principal
installment or installments then unpaid.

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that
certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of May 1, 2004, as
amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment
or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of
default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under
this Note.

 

MISCELLANEOUS:

 

(a) Remedies. Upon the sale, transfer, hypothecation, assignment or other
encumbrance, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of all or
any interest in any real property securing this Note, or upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may
declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of
nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which
are expressly waived by each Borrower. Each Borrower shall pay to the holder
immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside
counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended
or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s
rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under
this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to
this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief,
whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding
or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any
bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding,
contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to any
Borrower or any other person or entity.

 

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign
this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint
and several.

 

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.

 

This Note is secured by, among other collateral, a Deed of Trust dated May 1,
2004.

Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc.

733 Marquette Avenue Suite 700

Minneapolis, MN 55402

   Promissory Note

 

Contract Number 120423-700 dated as of May 4, 2004

 

For Value Received, the undersigned hereby promises to pay to the order of Wells
Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (the “Lender”) at its main office in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of
$1,800,750.00 together with interest on the unpaid balance hereof from the date
the loan proceeds are disbursed hereunder at an annual rate (computed on the
basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year) determined as set
forth below.

 

The interest rate in effect on the date the loan proceeds are disbursed
hereunder shall be the Index (as hereinafter defined) on the first business day
of the month in which the loan proceeds are disbursed plus 2.10% and shall
remain in effect through the last day of the calendar quarter in which the loan
proceeds are disbursed hereunder. The interest rate in effect for each calendar
quarter thereafter during the term of this Note shall be the same percentage
over the Index as in effect on the first day of such calendar quarter; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any change in the Index after the maturity of this
Note, this Note shall bear the same rate of interest after maturity as it bore
at maturity.

 

For purposes of this Note, the terms “Index” or “the Index” mean, as of the date
of determination, the London interbank offered rate for deposits in United
States dollars having a maturity of three months which appears in the “Money
Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal, published on the business day on, or
immediately preceding, the first day of each calendar quarter. If the Index is
no longer available, Lender will choose an index that is based upon comparable
information and will give the undersigned notice of such new “Index”.

 

The First Payment Due Date shall be the date that is one month after the date
loan proceeds are disbursed hereunder. The undersigned agrees that the date of
the First Payment Due Date and of the Final Installment Due Date may be left
blank when this Note is executed and hereby authorizes Lender to insert such
dates based upon a 48-month term from the date the loan proceeds are disbursed.

 

Principal and interest shall be payable in 47 consecutive equal monthly
installments of $40,081.62 each commencing on the First Payment Due Date and
continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, and in a final installment
of the entire unpaid balance of this Note on the Final Installment Due Date,
provided; however, that annual adjustment payments shall be made as set forth
below.

 

The amount of each monthly installment hereunder other than the final
installment is the amount necessary to amortize this Note in equal monthly
installments from the First Payment Due Date through the Final Installment Due
Date at an interest rate of 3.28%. On each annual anniversary of the First
Payment Due Date, the undersigned shall pay Lender or Lender shall credit to the
next installment or installments in the order of maturity, as the case may be,
an amount necessary to make the unpaid principal balance of this Note on such
anniversary date equal to what it would have been on such anniversary date had
the interest rate hereon been the rate set forth in this paragraph throughout
the previous 12 months. Payments shall be applied first to interest and then to
principal.

 

This Note may be prepaid in whole at any time by paying to Lender the unpaid
principal balance of this Note but only if accompanied by a prepayment premium
of 2% of the unpaid principal balance, together with accrued but unpaid
interest.

 

This Note may be prepaid in part but only as a result of a disposition of an
item of collateral which secures this Note. The amount of such prepayment shall
be the product of the unpaid principal balance of this Note times a fraction,
the numerator of which is the original advance made by the Lender with respect
to the item of collateral in question and the denominator of which is the
original principal balance of this Note with respect to the existing collateral
securing this Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest multiplied by the
same fraction, plus a prepayment premium equal to the percentage set forth in
the preceding paragraph times the principal amount prepaid. Nothing contained in
this paragraph shall be construed as an authorization by Lender to the
undersigned to sell or otherwise dispose of an item of collateral which secures
this Note. Such sale or disposition of an item of collateral by the undersigned
shall be made solely in accordance with the terms of the security agreement or
other agreement pursuant to which the undersigned pledged such item of
collateral to Lender.

 

Promissory Note – floats over 90 day Libor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The undersigned may remit to Lender amounts in excess of an installment that is
due hereunder and Lender shall apply such amount to the next maturing
installment or installments. Payment of amounts in excess of the installment
that is due or installments prior to the due date thereof shall not be treated
as a prepayment or result in a change to either the total number of installments
or the total sum of all installments payable under this Note.

 

Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a)
failure to pay any installment or other payment hereunder when due; (b) the
occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in any security agreement or
mortgage securing this Note; (c) the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings by or against the undersigned or any guarantor of this
Note; and (d) any indebtedness the undersigned may now or hereafter owe to any
affiliate of Lender shall be accelerated following a default thereunder or, if
any such indebtedness is payable on demand, payment thereof shall be demanded.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may do any one or more of the
following as it may elect, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default specified in (c) above, the entire unpaid balance of this Note
shall automatically become and be due and payable without notice or demand of
any kind: (i) upon written notice to the undersigned, declare the entire unpaid
balance of this Note to be immediately due and payable and the same shall
thereupon become and be immediately due and payable; (ii) exercise any one or
more of the rights and remedies available to it under any security agreement or
mortgage securing this Note or under any other agreement or by law.

 

The undersigned hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest. The
undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection of this Note, including
reasonable attorney’s fees. The holder hereof may change the terms of payment of
this Note by extension, renewal or otherwise, and release any security for, or
party to, this Note and such action shall not release any accommodation maker,
endorser, or guarantor from liability on this Note.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the rate of
interest, late payment fee, prepayment premium or any other charges or fees due
hereunder are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be usurious,
then said interest rate, fees and/or charges shall be reduced to the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law and any such excess amounts shall be
applied towards the reduction of the principal balance of this Note.

 

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of
the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Minnesota without
regard to conflicts of law rules.

 

If this Note is signed by more than one person as Debtor, then the term “Debtor”
shall refer to each of them separately and to all of them jointly, and each such
person shall be liable hereunder individually in full and jointly with the
others.

Contract Number 120423-701 dated as of May 5, 2004

 

For Value Received, the undersigned hereby promises to pay to the order of Wells
Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (the “lender”) at its main office in Minneapolis,

forth below.

 

The interest rate in effect on the date the loan proceeds are disbursed
hereunder shall be the Index (as hereinafter defined) on the first business day

This Note may be prepaid in whole at any time by paying to Lender the unpaid
principal balance of this Note but only if accompanied by a prepayment premium
of 2% of the unpaid principal balance, together with accrued but unpaid

be the product of the unpaid principal balance of this Note times a fraction,
the numerator of which is the original advance made by the Lender with respect
to the item of collateral in question and the denominator of which is the
original principal balance of this Note with respect to the existing collateral
securing this Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest multiplied by the
same fraction, plus a prepayment premium equal to the percentage set forth in
the preceding paragraph times the principal amount prepaid. Nothing contained in
this paragraph shall be construed as an authorization by Lender to the
undersigned to sell or otherwise dispose of an item of collateral which secures
this Note. Such sale or disposition of an item of collateral by the undersigned
shall be made solely in accordance with the terms of the security agreement or
other agreement pursuant to which the undersigned pledged such item of
collateral to Lender.

The undersigned may remit to Lender amounts in excess of an installment that is
due hereunder and Lender shall apply such amount to the next maturing
installment or installments. Payment of amounts in excess of the installment
that is due or installments prior to the due date thereof shall not be treated
as a prepayment or result in a change to either the total number of installments
or the total sum of all installments payable under this Note.

 

Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a)
failure to pay any installment or other payment hereunder when due; (b) the
occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in any security agreement or
mortgage securing this Note; (c) the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings by or against the undersigned or any guarantor of this
Note; and (d) any indebtedness the undersigned may now or hereafter owe to any
affiliate of Lender shall be accelerated following a default thereunder or, if
any such indebtedness is payable on demand, payment thereof shall be demanded.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may do any one or more of the
following as it may elect, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default specified in (c) above, the entire unpaid balance of this Note
shall automatically become and be due and payable without notice or demand of
any kind: (i) upon written notice to the undersigned, declare the entire unpaid
balance of this Note to be immediately due and payable and the same shall
thereupon become and be immediately due and payable; (ii) exercise any one or
more of the rights and remedies available to it under any security agreement or
mortgage securing this Note or under any other agreement or by law.

 

The undersigned hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest. The
undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection of this Note, including
reasonable attorney’s fees. The holder hereof may change the terms of payment of
this Note by extension, renewal or otherwise, and release any security for, or
party to, this Note and such action shall not release any accommodation maker,
endorser, or guarantor from liability on this Note.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the rate of
interest, late payment fee, prepayment premium or any other charges or fees due
hereunder are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be usurious,
then said interest rate, fees and/or charges shall be reduced to the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law and any such excess amounts shall be
applied towards the reduction of the principal balance of this Note.

 

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of
the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Minnesota without
regard to conflicts of law rules.

 

If this Note is signed by more than one person as Debtor, then the term “Debtor”

person shall be liable hereunder individually in full and jointly with the
others.

Secured Party’s rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of Secured Party

Agreement or of any financing statement signed by the Debtor shall have the same
force and effects as the original for all purposes of a financing statement.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, this Agreement shall be governed
by the internal laws of the State of Minnesota. If any provision or application
of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such
illegality or unenforceabitity shall not affect other provisions or applications
which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the
unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained

agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Debtor (or, at Secured
Party’s option, in Secured Party’s own name) and may (but need not) take any and
all other actions which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or
correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the
satisfaction of security interests, liens, or encumbrances, the procurement and
maintenance of Insurance, the execution of financing statements, the endorsement
of instruments, and the procurement of repairs, transportation or insurance);
and, except to the extent that the effect of such payment would be to render any
loan or forbearance of money usurious or otherwise illegal under any applicable
law Debtor shall thereupon pay Secured Party on demand the amount of all moneys
expended and all cost and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by Secured Party in connection with or as a result of Secured Party’s
performing or observing such agreement or taking such actions, together with
interest thereon from the date expended or incurred by Secured Party at the
highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations. To facilitate the
performance or observance by Secured Party of such agreements of Debtor, Debtor
hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest)
Secured Party, or its delegate, as the attorney-in-fact of Debtor with 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 Debtor, any and all
instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance and
other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or

additional security for the payment of the Obligations, any and all moneys
(including but not limited to proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned
premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of Debtor under or
with respect to, any and all policies of insurance covering the Collateral, and
Debtor hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay any such moneys
directly to Secured Party. Both before and after the occurrence of an Event of
default, Secured Party may (but need not), in its own name or in Debtor’s name,
execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such moneys, endorse checks and
other instruments representing payment of such moneys, and adjust, litigate,
compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

 

5. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an
event of default under this Agreement (herein called “Event of Default”): (i)
Debtor shall fail to pay any or all of the Obligations when due or (if payable
on demand) on demand, or shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or
agreement herein binding on it; (ii) any representation or warranty by Debtor
set forth in the Agreement or made to Secured Party in any financial statements
or reports submitted to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor shall prove
materially false or misleading; (iii) a garnishment, summons or a writ of
attachment shall be issued against or served upon the Secured Party for the
attachment of any property of Debtor or any indebtedness owing to Debtor; (iv)
Debtor or any guarantor of any Obligation shall (A) be or become insolvent
(however defined); or (B) voluntarily file, or have filed against it
involuntarily, a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (C) if a
corporation, partnership, or organization, be dissolved or liquidated or, if a
partnership, suffer the death of a partner or, if an Individual, die; or (D) go
out of business; (v) an event of default shall occur under any indebtedness
Debtor may now or hereafter owe to any affiliate of Secured Party; (vi) if
Debtor is a corporation, more than 50% of the shares of voting stock of Debtor
shall become owned by a shareholder or shareholders who were not owners of
voting stock of Debtor on the date of this Agreement or, if Debtor is a
partnership, more than 50% of the partnership interests in the Debtor shall
become owned by a partner or partners who were not partners of Debtor on the
date of this Agreement; or (vii) Debtor shall consolidate with or merge into, or
sell all or substantially all of its assets to, any individual, corporation, or
other entity.

 

6. Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Section 5 and at any time thereafter, Secured Party may exercise any one
or more of the following rights and remedies; (i) declare all unmatured
Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon be
immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand; (ii)
exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to
the right to take possession of any Collateral, proceeding without judicial
process or by judicial process (without a prior hearing or notice thereof, which
Debtor hereby expressly waives), and the right to sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and in connection therewith, Secured
Party may require Debtor to make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a
place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and if notice to Debtor of any intended disposition of Collateral or
any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance , such
notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given (in the manner specified
in Section 7) at least 10 calendar days prior to the dale of intended
disposition or other action; (iii) exercise or enforce any or all other rights
or remedies available to Secured Party by law or agreement against the
Collateral, against Debtor or against any other person or property. Upon the
occurrence of the Event of Default described in Section 5(iv)(B), all
Obligations shall be immediately due and payable without demand or notice
thereof.

 

7. Miscellaneous. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or
discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a
writing signed by Secured Party. A waiver signed by Secured Party shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere
delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of
Secured Party’s rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of Secured Party
shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at Secured
Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy
shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any
other. All notices to be given to Debtor shall be deemed sufficiently given if
delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Debtor
at its address set forth above or at the most recent address shown on Secured
Party’s records. Secured Party’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its
possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if Secured Party
exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the
case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third
person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third
person, and Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care
for any Collateral. Secured Party shall not be obligated to reserve any rights
Debtor may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in
any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in
any particular order of application. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured Party and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by
Debtor and delivered to Secured Party, and Debtor waves notice of Secured
Party’s acceptance hereof. Secured Party may execute this Agreement if
appropriate for the purpose of filing, but the failure of Secured Party to
execute this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity or effectiveness
of this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or of any financing statement signed by the Debtor shall have the same
force and effects as the original for all purposes of a financing statement.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, this Agreement shall be governed
by the internal laws of the State of Minnesota. If any provision or application
of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications
which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the
unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained
herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. If this Agreement is
signed by more than one person as Debtor, the term “Debtor” shall refer to each
of them separately and to both or all of them jointly; all such persons shall be
bound both severally and jointly with the other(s); and the Obligations shall
include all debts, liability and obligations owed to Secured Party by any Debtor
solely or by both or several or all Debtors jointly or jointly and severally,
and all property described in Section 1 shall be included as part of the
Collateral, whether it is owned jointly by both or all Debtors or is owned in
whole or in part by one (or more) of them. There shall be (1) counterpart of
this Agreement and it will be marked “Original.” To the extent that this
Agreement constitutes chattel paper (as that term is defined by the Uniform
Commercial Code), a security interest only may be created in the Agreement
marked “Original.” DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT
TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.

1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, the undersigned
Natural Alternatives International, Inc., or any of them (“Debtor”), hereby
grants and transfers to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) a
security interest in all goods, tools, machinery, furnishings, furniture and
other equipment and fixtures, now or at any time hereafter, and prior to the
termination hereof, owned or acquired by Debtor, wherever located, whether in
the possession of Debtor or any other person and whether located on Debtor’s
property or elsewhere, and all improvements, replacements, accessions and
additions thereto and embedded software included therein (collectively called
“Collateral”), and including all of the foregoing which are now or hereafter
affixed or to be affixed to, and whether or not severed and removed from, the
real property described on Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference, together with whatever is receivable or received when any of the
Collateral or proceeds thereof are sold, leased, collected, exchanged or
otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary,
including without limitation, (a) all accounts, contract rights, chattel paper
(whether electronic or tangible), instruments, promissory notes, documents,
general intangibles, payment intangibles and other rights to payment of every
kind now or at any time hereafter arising from any such sale, lease, collection,
exchange or other disposition of any of the foregoing, (b) all rights to
payment, including returned premiums, with respect to any insurance relating to
any of the foregoing, and (c) all rights to payment with respect to any claim or
cause of action affecting or relating to any of the foregoing (hereinafter

has possession or control of the Collateral and Proceeds; (c) Debtor has the
exclusive right to grant a security interest in the Collateral and Proceeds; (d)

character, except the lien created hereby or as otherwise agreed to by Bank, or
heretofore disclosed by Debtor to Bank, in writing; (e) all statements contained
herein are true and complete in all material respects; (f) no financing
statement covering any of the Collateral or Proceeds, and naming any secured

to this Agreement, and Debtor acknowledges that no sale or other disposition of
any Collateral, including without limitation, any Collateral which Debtor may
deem to be surplus, has been or shall be consented to or acquiesced in by Bank,
except as specifically set forth in writing by Bank.

substance and amounts, under agreements, against risks and liabilities, and with
insurance companies satisfactory to Bank; (c) to operate the Collateral in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

continuation statements, termination statements, statements of assignment,
applications for registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release
Bank’s interest in the Collateral and Proceeds; (g) to receive, open and read
mail addressed to Debtor; (h) to take cash, instruments for the payment of money
and other property to which Bank is entitled; (i) to verify facts concerning the
Collateral and Proceeds by inquiry of obligors thereon, or otherwise, in its own
name or a fictitious name; (j) to endorse, collect, deliver and receive payment
under instruments for the payment of money constituting or relating to Proceeds;
(k) to prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under insurance
claims, and to collect and receive payment of and endorse any instrument in
payment of loss or returned premiums or any other insurance refund or return,
and to apply such amounts received by Bank, at Bank’s sole option, toward
repayment of the Indebtedness or replacement of the Collateral; (l) to exercise
all rights, powers and remedies which Debtor would have, but for this Agreement,
with respect to all Collateral and Proceeds subject hereto; (m) to enter onto
Debtor’s premises in inspecting the Collateral; and (n) to do all acts and
things and execute all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by
Bank as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation,
perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder.

 

8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to
pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor
to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Debtor to Bank, due and
payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any
contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, or (ii) any other agreement
between Debtor and Bank, including without limitation any loan agreement,
relating to or executed in connection with any Indebtedness; (b) any
representation or warranty made by Debtor herein shall prove to be incorrect,
false or misleading in any material respect when made; (c) Debtor shall fail to
observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein; (d) any
impairment of the rights of Bank in any Collateral or Proceeds or any attachment
or like levy on any property of Debtor; and (e) Bank, in good faith, believes
any or all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds to be in danger of substantial
misuse, dissipation, commingling, loss, theft, damage or destruction, or
otherwise in substantial jeopardy or materially unsatisfactory in character or
value.

 

10. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the
right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured
hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit
to Debtor. Bank shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the California Uniform Commerical
Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a)
to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to
instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to
Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all
Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be
cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right,
power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such
right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank
of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions
hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth
in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for
cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property
of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially
reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different
kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and
credit risks of such dispositions.

 

While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Bank from time to
time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b)
Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on

 

SECAAGMT.CA (12/03)    20040421030 / Page 3      62596, #6411046333          

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

terms approved by Bank; (c) at Bank’s request. Debtor will assemble and deliver
all Collateral and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank
at a reasonably convenient place designated by Bank; and (d) Bank may, without
notice to Debtor, enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the
Collateral. Debtor further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process
or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

 

11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In
disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any
Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the
payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by
Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank
may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds
and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility
with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be
vested with all rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the
foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so
transferred Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein
given.

 

12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full
and all commitments by Bank to extend credit to Debtor have been terminated, the
power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and

RIGHTS TO PAYMENT AND INVENTORY

 

1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, the undersigned
Natural Alternatives International, Inc., or any of them (“Debtor”), hereby
grants and transfers to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) a
security interest in all accounts, deposit accounts, chattel paper (whether
electronic or tangible), instruments, promissory notes, documents, general
intangibles, payment intangibles, software, letter of credit rights, health-care
insurance receivables and other rights to payment (collectively called “Rights
to Payments”), now existing or at any time hereafter, and prior to the
termination hereof, arising (whether they arise from the sale, lease or other
disposition of inventory or from performance of contracts for service,
manufacture, construction, repair or otherwise or from any other source
whatsoever), including all securities, guaranties, warranties, indemnity
agreements, insurance policies, supporting obligations and other agreements
pertaining to the same or the property described therein, and in all goods
returned by or repossessed from Debtor’s customers, together with a security
interest in all inventory, goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under
contracts for service, goods so leased or furnished, raw materials, component
parts and embedded software, work in process or materials used or consumed in
Debtor’s business and all warehouse receipts, bills of lading and other
documents evidencing goods owned or acquired by Debtor, and all goods covered
thereby, now or at any time hereafter, and prior to the termination hereof,
owned or acquired by Debtor, wherever located, and all products thereof
(collectively called “Inventory”), whether in the possession of Debtor,
warehousemen, bailees or any other person, or in process of delivery and whether
located at Debtor’s places of business or elsewhere (with all Rights to Payment
and Inventory referred to herein collectively as the “Collateral”), together
with whatever is receivable or received when any of the Collateral or proceeds
thereof are sold, leased, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether
such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, including without limitation, all
rights to payment, including returned premiums, with respect to any insurance
relating to any of the foregoing, and all rights to payment with respect to any
claim or cause of action affecting or relating to any of the foregoing

and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of Debtor, or any of them,
heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or
involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether Debtor may
be liable individually or jointly, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness
may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable.

 

3. TERMINATION. This Agreement will terminate upon the performance of all
obligations of Debtor to Bank, including without limitation, the payment of all
Indebtedness of Debtor to Bank, and the termination of all commitments of Bank
to extend credit to Debtor, existing at the time Bank receives written notice
from Debtor of the termination of this Agreement.

 

4. OBLIGATIONS OF BANK. Bank has no obligation to make any loans hereunder. Any
money received by Bank in respect of the Collateral may be deposited, at Bank’s
option, into a non-interest bearing account over which Debtor shall have no

to which Bank is entitled hereunder and to endorse and deliver any evidence of
title incidental thereto; and (p) to do all acts and things and execute all
documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Bank as necessary,
proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or
enforcement of its rights hereunder.

 

8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to
pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor
to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Debtor to Bank, due and
payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any
contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, or (ii) any other agreement
between Debtor and Bank, including without limitation any loan agreement,
relating to or executed in connection with any Indebtedness; (b) any
representation or warranty made by Debtor herein shall prove to be incorrect,
false or misleading in any material respect when made; (c) Debtor shall fail to
observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein; (d) any

or like levy on any property of Debtor; and (e) Bank, in good faith, believes

SECAAGMT.CA (12/03)    20040421030 / Page 3      62596, #6411046333          

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds to be in danger of substantial misuse,
dissipation, commingling, loss, theft, damage or destruction, or otherwise in
substantial jeopardy or materially unsatisfactory in character or value.

 

10. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the
right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured
hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit
to Debtor. Bank shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the California Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a)
to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to
instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to
Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all
Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be
cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right,
power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such
right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank
of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions
hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth
in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for
cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property
of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially
reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different
kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and
credit risks of such dispositions.

 

While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Bank from time to
time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b)
Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved
by Bank; (c) at Bank’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral
and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably
convenient place designated by Bank; and (d) Bank may, without notice to Debtor,
enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the Collateral. With respect
to any sale by Bank of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Debtor hereby
expressly grants to Bank the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of
Debtor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or
marks. Debtor further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or
prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

 

11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In
disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any
Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the
payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by
Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank
may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds
and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility
with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be
vested with all rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the
foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so
transferred Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein
given.

 

12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full
and all commitments by Bank to extend credit to Debtor have been terminated, the
power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and
remedies granted to Bank hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised
by Bank at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the
Indebtedness or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of
limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless
such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness
secured hereunder.

 

13. MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more than one Debtor named herein: (a) the word
“Debtor” shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b)
the obligations of each Debtor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until
all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Debtor shall have any right of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

subrogation or contribution, and each Debtor hereby waives any benefit of or
right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security
now or hereafter held by Bank. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Bank to
(i) proceed against Debtor or any other person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust
any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of
Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make any presentment
or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice
of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral
or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of
payments or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor or indebtedness of customers
of Debtor.

 

14. NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement
must be in writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified in any other loan
documents entered into between Debtor and Bank and to Debtor at the address of
its chief executive office (or principal residence, if applicable) specified

the date of receipt or 3 days after deposit in the U. S. mail, first class and
postage prepaid; and (c) if sent by telecopy, upon receipt.

upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees
and all allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by
Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this
Agreement or in the enforcement thereof, whether incurred at the trial or
appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of
the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including
without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought
by Bank or any other person) relating to Debtor or in any way affecting any of
the Collateral or Bank’s ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest from
the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of ten percent (10%) or Bank’s Prime Rate in effect from time to time.

 

16. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or
modified only in writing signed by Bank and Debtor.

 

17. OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS. Any married person who signs this Agreement
as Debtor hereby expressly agrees that recourse may be had against his or her
separate property for all his or her Indebtedness to Bank secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds under this Agreement.

 

18. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

accordance with the laws of the State of California.
