LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT



 









 





This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 12, 2008, by and
between Square 1 Bank (“Bank”) and each of NetStreams, Inc. (“Parent” and a “Borrower”) and
NetStreams, LLC (a “Borrower”; collectively with Parent referred to herein as “Borrowers”).




RECITALS




Borrower wishes to obtain credit from time to time from Bank, and Bank desires to extend credit to
Borrower. This Agreement sets forth the terms on which Bank will advance credit to Borrower, and
Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Bank.




AGREEMENT




The parties agree as follows:




     1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.




     1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the
definitions set forth on Exhibit A. Any term used in the Code and not defined herein shall
have the meaning given to the term in the Code.




     1.2 Accounting Terms. Any accounting term not specifically defined on Exhibit A shall
be construed in accordance with GAAP and all calculations shall be made in accordance with
GAAP (except (i) for non-compliance with FAS 123R in monthly reporting, (ii) the absence of
footnotes and subject to year end adjustments for unaudited financial statements, (iii)
accruals are invoice based for unaudited financial statements, (iii) for the absence of
depreciation calculations for unaudited financial statements, (iv) for the absence of
payroll accruals). The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and
schedules.



     2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.




     2.1 Credit Extensions.




          (a) Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay to Bank, in lawful money of the United
States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by
Bank to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit
Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.




          (b) Advances Under Formula Revolving Line.



               (i) Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may
request Advances in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the lesser of: (A) the
Formula Revolving Line; or (B) the Borrowing Base, less any amounts outstanding under the
Ancillary Services Sublimit. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and
reborrowed at any time prior to the Formula Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances
under this Section 2.1(b) shall be



NetStreams, Inc. LSA



1.









 







immediately due and payable. Borrower may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.



               (ii) Form of Request. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by
facsimile transmission, telephone or email no later than 5:30 p.m. Eastern time (4:30 p.m. Eastern
time for wire transfers), on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such
notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form in substantially
the form of Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon
instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or
without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which
have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic or email
notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee
thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages, loss, costs and
expenses suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances
made under this Section 2.1(b) to Borrower’s deposit account.



               (iii) Ancillary Services Sublimit. Subject to the availability under the Formula Revolving
Line, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof through the Business Day immediately
prior to the Formula Revolving Maturity Date, Borrower may request the provision of Ancillary
Services from Bank. The aggregate limit of the Ancillary Services shall not exceed the Ancillary
Services Sublimit, provided that availability under the Formula Revolving Line shall be reduced by
the aggregate limits of (i) any outstanding and undrawn amounts under all Letters of Credit issued
hereunder, (ii) corporate credit card services provided to Borrower, (iii) the total amount of any
Automated Clearing House processing reserves, (iv) the applicable Foreign Exchange Reserve
Percentage, and (v) any other reserves taken by Bank in connection with other treasury management
services requested by Borrower and approved by Bank. In addition, Bank may, in its sole
discretion, charge as Advances any amounts for which Bank becomes liable to third parties in
connection with the provision of the Ancillary Services. The terms and conditions (including
repayment and fees) of such Ancillary Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Bank’s standard forms of application and agreement for the applicable Ancillary Services, which
Borrower hereby agrees to execute.



               (iv) Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. If Borrower has not secured
to Bank’s satisfaction its obligations with respect to any Ancillary Services by the Formula
Revolving Maturity Date, then, effective as of such date, the balance in any deposit accounts held
by Bank and the certificates of deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Bank in Borrower’s name
(and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the
maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts), shall automatically secure such
obligations to the extent of the then continuing or outstanding Ancillary Services. Borrower
authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any
requests by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances
for so long as the applicable Ancillary Services are outstanding or continue.



2.









 





               (c) Term Loan.



               (i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make one
(1) or more term loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) (each a “Term Loan “ and collectively the “Term Loans”). Borrower may
request Term Loans at any time from the date hereof through the Availability End Date. The
proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to refinance Borrower’s existing credit facility with
Comerica.



               (ii) Interest shall accrue from the date of each Term Loan at the rate specified in Section
2.3(a), and prior to the Availability End Date for the applicable Term Loan shall be payable
monthly beginning on the first day of the month next following such Term Loan, and continuing on
the same day of each month thereafter. Any Term Loans that are outstanding on the Availability
End Date shall be payable in 30 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued
interest, beginning on the first day of the month immediately following the Availability End Date,
and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Term Loan Maturity Date, at
which time all amounts due in connection with the Term Loans and any other amounts due under this
Agreement shall be immediately due and payable. Term Loans, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.
Borrower may prepay any Term Loan without penalty or premium.



               (iii) When Borrower desires to obtain a Term Loan, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice
shall be irrevocable) by facsimile transmission to be received no later than 5:30 p.m. Eastern
time on the day on which the Term Loan is to be made. Such notice shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit C. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer or its designee.




     2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the
lesser of the Formula Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.




     2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.



               (a) Interest Rates.



               (i) Formula Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear
interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a variable annual rate equal to 1.25% above
the Prime Rate then in effect; provided that following Borrower’s completion of the Funding
Milestone set forth in Section 6.7, the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily
balance thereof, at a variable annual rate equal to 0.75% above the Prime Rate then in effect.



               (ii) Term Loans. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Loans shall bear interest,
on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a variable rate equal to 2.00% above the Prime Rate
then in effect; provided that following Borrower’s completion of the Funding Milestone set forth
in Section 6.7 hereof, the Term Loans shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance
thereof, at a variable rate equal to 1.50% above the Prime Rate then in effect.



3.









 






          (b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within 15 days after the date
such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the
amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under
applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to 5 percentage points above
the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.




          (c) Payments. Interest under the Formula Revolving Line shall be due and payable on
the first calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option,
charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s
deposit accounts or against the Formula Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when
due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.




          (d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter,
the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of
the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All
interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day
year for the actual number of days elapsed.




     2.4 Crediting Payments. If no Event of Default exists, Bank shall credit a wire
transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as
Borrower specifies. During the existence of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right,
in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other
item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications
of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately
available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored
when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 5:30 p.m. Eastern time shall be deemed to
have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following
Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due
(except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall
instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may
be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.




     2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:




          (a) Facility Fee. On or before the Closing Date, a fee equal to $10,000, which shall
be nonrefundable;




          (b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing
Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.



4.









 






     2.6 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to
Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain
outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make
Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default.



     3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS.




     3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of Bank to make
the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Bank shall have
received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, each the following items and completed
each of the following requirements:




          (a) this Agreement;




          (b) an officer’s certificate of each Borrower with respect to incumbency and
resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement;




          (c) a financing statement (Form UCC-1) for each Borrower;




          (d) an intellectual property security agreement for each Borrower;




          (e) payment of the fees and Bank Expenses then due specified in Section 2.5, which may
be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts with Bank;




          (f) current SOS Reports for each Borrower indicating that except for Permitted Liens,
there are no other security interests or Liens of record in the Collateral;




          (g) current financial statements, including audited statements (or such other level
required by the Investment Agreement) for Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year,
together with an unqualified opinion (or an opinion qualified only for going concern so long
as Borrower’s investors provide additional equity as needed), company prepared consolidated
and consolidating balance sheets and income statements for the most recently ended month in
accordance with Section 6.2, and such other updated financial information as Bank may
reasonably request;




          (h) current Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.2;




          (i) a Warrant in form and substance satisfactory to Bank;




          (j) a Subordination Agreement from Austin Ventures, in form and substance satisfactory

          (k) a Borrower Information Certificate;



5.









 






          (l) Borrower shall have opened and funded not less than $50,000 in deposit accounts
held with Bank; and




          (m) such other documents or certificates, and completion of such other matters, as Bank
may reasonably request.




     3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.




          (a) The obligation of Bank to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit
Extension, is further subject to the following conditions: timely receipt by Bank of the
Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form as provided in Section 2.1; and




          (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the date of such Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form and
on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date,
and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would exist after giving
effect to such Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and
warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all
material respects as of such date). The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to
be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the
accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.



     4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.




     4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing
security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations
and to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the
Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens or as disclosed in the Schedule, such security
interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing
Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired
Collateral. Notwithstanding any termination, of this Agreement or of any filings undertaken
related to Bank’s rights under the Code, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in
effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.




     4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time
financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either
specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of
the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for
the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation
statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable.
Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided
in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in
addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a
third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably



6.









 







requests for Bank to (i) subject to Section 7.10 below, obtain an acknowledgment, in
form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral
for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of
investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper
(as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by
causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a
control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any
chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating
that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may
deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower
authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts
thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part
of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding. Borrower shall
take such other actions as Bank requests to perfect its security interests granted under
this Agreement.



     5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.



     Borrower represents and warrants as follows:




     5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation
or limited liability company duly existing under the laws of the state in which it is
organized and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the
failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.




     5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the
Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in
conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement, as applicable,
nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower
is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to
the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.




     5.3 Collateral. Borrower has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and
its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on
transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. Other than movable items of personal
property such as laptop computers, all Collateral having an aggregate book value in excess
of $100,000, is located solely in the Collateral States. The Eligible Accounts are bona
fide existing obligations. The property or services giving rise to such Eligible Accounts
has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to
and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has not received notice of
actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are included
in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and merchantable quality, free



7.









 







from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been
made. Except as set forth in the Schedule, none of the Borrower’s Cash is maintained or
invested with a Person other than Bank or Bank’s affiliates.




     5.4 Intellectual Property Collateral. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, except for licenses granted by Borrower to its customers in the
ordinary course of business. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights,
Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has
been made to Borrower that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the
rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Effect.




     5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule,
Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature
page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this
Agreement. The chief executive office of Borrower is located at the address indicated in
Section 10 hereof.




     5.6 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions or
proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or
administrative agency that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.




     5.7 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated and
consolidating financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered
by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated and
consolidating financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and
consolidating results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a
material adverse change in the consolidated or in the consolidating financial condition of
Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.




     5.8 Solvency, Payment of Debts. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade
debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill
minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is not left
with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.




     5.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No
event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely
to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the




8.












 






purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and
U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Borrower has not violated any
statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, the violation of which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Parent and each Subsidiary have
filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have
made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein except those being
contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where the failure to file such
returns or pay such taxes would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.




          5.10 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other
equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.




          5.11 Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all
notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of
Borrower’s business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.




          5.12 Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party
to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement important for the conduct of
Borrower’s business that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security
interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement, other than this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.




          5.13 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower
in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such
certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained in such certificates or statements not misleading in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts
provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be
viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

as Bank may have any commitment to make a Credit Extension hereunder, Borrower shall do all of the

its Subsidiaries’ corporate existence and good standing in the respective states of

maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in force all licenses,

               (d) Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon
reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no
more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to
inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, inspect, audit and

condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Bank agree that Bank shall complete its initial
audit of the Collateral within 30 days following the date hereof, and Borrower shall take
all reasonable steps in connection therewith.



Borrower may deliver to Bank on an electronic basis any certificates, reports or information

appropriate proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower
or such Subsidiary.




          6.5 Insurance. Borrower, at its expense, shall (i) keep the Collateral insured against

request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and
evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at
Borrower’s option, be payable to Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim,

               (a) Funding Milestone. On or before November 30, 2008, Parent shall provide Bank with
a signed term sheet with respect to the issuance of at least $4,000,000 of Parent’s

     8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.




     Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower under
this Agreement:




          8.1 Payment Default. If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations when due and such
failure is not cured within 3 Business Days;




          8.2 Covenant Default.




               (a) If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.2 (financial
reporting), 6.4 (taxes), 6.5 (insurance), 6.6 (primary accounts) or 6.7 (financial
covenants), or violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement; or



16.









 






               (b) If Borrower fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term,
provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or
in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default
under such other term, provision, condition or covenant that can be cured, has failed to
cure such default within 15 days after Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of
Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature
be cured within the 15 day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured
within such 15 day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time,
then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed
30 days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure
to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions
will be made.

which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;




          8.4 Attachment. If any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized,
subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of
any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure,
writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within 10
days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from
continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s assets, or
if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any material
portion of Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or
instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the
same is not paid within ten days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none
of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed
or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that
no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period);




          8.5 Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is
commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is
not dismissed or stayed within 30 days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made
prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding);




          8.6 Other Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to perform in any
agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by
such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any
Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $350,000 or that would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect;




          8.7 Judgments. If a final, uninsured judgment or judgments for the payment of money in
an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least $350,000 shall be rendered against
Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period



17.









 






of 10 days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction
or stay of the judgment); or




          8.8 Misrepresentations. If any material misrepresentation or material misstatement
exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth herein or in any
certificate delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to

     9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.





          9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do
any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:




               (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other
Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);




               (b) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount
of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any
future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit
fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit, and
Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts;




               (c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;




               (d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts,
upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;




               (e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral
if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate.
Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and
maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or
compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be
prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection
therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in
order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or
otherwise;



18.









 






               (f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower held by Bank;




               (g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale,
advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is
hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of
its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;




               (h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or
more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places
(including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any
proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may
sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may
specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be
considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with
payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness
of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the
Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;




               (i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;




               (j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the
Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
Obligations and without regard to the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor or any other
Person liable for any of the Obligations; and




               (k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above
will be paid immediately by Borrower.



               Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a
disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.




          9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s
designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send
requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest
in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or
security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c)



19.









 






sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts
against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts,
and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust
all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle
and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for
amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) enter into a short-form
intellectual property security agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement for
recording purposes only or modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property
security agreement entered into between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower’s
approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C, thereof, as
appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents
or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to
any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no
longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; and (h) file, in its sole
discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto,
relative to any of the Collateral; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign
the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clauses (g) and (h) above,
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as
Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid
and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.




          9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s
security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall
collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s
trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received
from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.




          9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof
of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make
payment of the same or any part thereof; and/or (b) set up such reserves under the Formula
Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such
failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of
this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent.
Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be
immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove
provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not
constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank
of any Event of Default under this Agreement.




          9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise
prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrower.




20.












 






          9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the
Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release,
modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the
Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any
right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.




          9.7 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights
and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No
exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank
of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by
Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be
effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by
course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.




          9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives
demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and
nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

     11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.


This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the
State of North Carolina, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Jurisdiction shall lie
in the State of North Carolina. All disputes, controversies, claims, actions and similar
proceedings arising with respect to Borrower’s account or any related agreement or transaction
shall be brought in the General Court of Justice of North Carolina sitting in Durham County, North
Carolina or the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, except as
provided below with respect to arbitration of such matters. BANK AND BORROWER EACH ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH OF THEM,
AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT, WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENT
OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY BANK OR BORROWER, EXCEPT BY A
WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF THEM. If the jury waiver set forth in this Section 11 is
not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy, claim, action or similar proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein
shall be settled by final and binding arbitration held in Durham County, North Carolina in
accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator shall apply
North Carolina law to the resolution of any dispute, without reference to rules of conflicts of law
or rules of statutory arbitration. Judgment upon any award resulting from arbitration may be
entered into and enforced by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this Section.
The costs and expenses



22.









 






of the arbitration, including without limitation, the arbitrator’s fees and expert witness fees,
and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the parties to the arbitration may be awarded to the
prevailing party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the parties in
any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the arbitrator decides that one
party is to pay for all (or a share) of such costs and expenses, both parties shall share equally
in the payment of the arbitrator’s fees as and when billed by the arbitrator.




     12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.




          12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all
persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this
Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written
consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall
have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, assign, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s
obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.




          12.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its
officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and
liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered,
incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way
arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower
whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.




          12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations
set forth in this Agreement.




          12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable
from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.




          12.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to or terminations of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any,
are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.




          12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered,
shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute

sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in Portable Document Format (“PDF”), or any
similar format, shall be treated as originals,



23.









 






fully binding and with full legal force and effect, and the parties waive any rights
they may have to object to such treatment.




          12.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or
Bank has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower. The obligations of
Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and
liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of
limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.




          12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank and all employees
and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that Bank exercises with respect
to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any
non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that
disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Bank or
Borrower in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower,
(ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions,
provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of
Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule
or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection
with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may determine
in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information
hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the
knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain
after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third
party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from
disclosing such information.



     13. CO-BORROWER PROVISIONS.




          13.1 Primary Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each
Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including
any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any
Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Bank and any Borrower.
Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of all
Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate or
representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers,
including without limitation Disbursement Request Forms, Borrowing Base Certificates and
Compliance Certificates.




          13.2 Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the
Obligations and Bank may proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce the
Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.



24.









 






          13.3 Borrowers as Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent with
all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for
and on behalf of both Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit
Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Bank on behalf of each Borrower for
Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and
Bank need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of Borrower.




          13.4 Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it
may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the
Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution,
indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other
Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any
payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan
Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate
in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with
respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any
agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited
under this Section 14.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in
contravention of this Section 14.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank
and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured.




          13.5 Waivers of Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower
waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any
of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations
outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of
any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact
that might increase the Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice
thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the
Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any
defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of
the liability of any other Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict
performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or
diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of
trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder,
and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of
Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower’s risks hereunder.




          13.6 Subrogation Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment
or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all
benefits which might otherwise be available to it under



25.









 






any statutory or common law suretyship defenses or marshalling rights, now and
hereafter in effect.




          13.7 Right to Settle, Release.




               (a) The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement,
understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by
another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability,
whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Bank may now or hereafter have against
any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the
Obligations.




               (b) Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge
the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with
respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the
Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with
respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property
securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v)
compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of,
decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other
Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.




          13.8 Subordination. All indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by
another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower holding the
indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to effect, to enforce and
to give notice of such subordination, provided that any such indebtedness may be repaid to
the applicable Borrower unless an Event of Default exists.
