LOAN AND SECURITY MODIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


This Loan and Security
Modification Agreement is entered into as of November 9, 2011, by and between Document Capture Technologies, Inc. and Syscan, Inc.
(jointly and severally the “Borrower” or “Borrowers”) and Bridge Bank, National Association (“Bank”).


 


1.             DESCRIPTION
OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant
to, among other documents, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated September 2, 2009 by and between Borrower and Bank, as may be amended
from time to time (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement.


 


Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by
Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as the "Indebtedness" and the Loan and Security Agreement and any and all other
documents executed by Borrower in favor of Bank shall be referred to as the “Existing Documents.”


 


2.             DESCRIPTION
OF CHANGE IN TERMS.


 


A.          Modification(s)
to Loan and Security Agreement:


 


1)           Paragraph
(j) under the defined term “Eligible Accounts” referencing offsettable deferred revenue is hereby deleted and replaced
with the words “Intentionally Omitted.”


 


2)           The
following defined terms in Section 1.1 entitled “Definitions” are hereby amended as follows:


 


“Eligible Foreign Accounts”
means Accounts with respect to which the account debtor does not have its principal place of business in the United States or Canada
and that (i) are supported by one or more letters of credit in an amount and of a tenor, and issued by a financial institution,
acceptable to Bank, (ii) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor is Microtek International, Inc., or (iii) that Bank
approves on a case-by-case basis, provided however, in no event shall Eligible Foreign Accounts without foreign credit insurance
exceed $250,000 in aggregate.


 


“Revolving Line” means
a credit extension of up to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).


 


“Revolving Maturity Date”
means November 15, 2012.


 


3)             Section
2.5(a) entitled “Facility Fee” is hereby amended as follows:


 


 (a)        Facility
Fee. On the date of the Business Financing Modification Agreement dated November 7, 2011 and annually on the anniversary of
the Closing Date a fee equal to 0.25% of the Revolving Line.


 


3.        CONSISTENT
CHANGES. The Existing Documents are each hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.


 


4.        PAYMENT
OF FEES. Borrower shall pay Bank the Facility Fee in the amount of $7,500 and a fee in the amount of $75 (“Renewal Due
Diligence Fee”) plus all out-of-pocket expenses.


 


5.        NO
DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL Release. Borrower agrees that, as of this date,
it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. Each of Borrower and Guarantor (each, a “Releasing
Party”) acknowledges that Bank would not enter into this Loan and Security Modification Agreement without Releasing Party’s
assurance that it has no claims against Bank or any of Bank’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for the obligations
arising hereafter under this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, each Releasing Party releases Bank, and each of Bank’s
and entity’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Bank
of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they
would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other
theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated
thereby. Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states:


 



    	1



    	 



    

 


A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND
TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.


 


The provisions, waivers and releases
set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors
in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees,
officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations,
full performance of all the terms of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement and the Agreement, and/or Bank’s actions
to exercise any remedy available under the Agreement or otherwise.


 


6.        CONTINUING
VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrower's representations,
warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan and Security
Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to
modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank
to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan and Security Modification Agreement shall constitute
a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers
of Existing Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released
by virtue of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan and Security
Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent Loan and Security modification agreements.


 


7.        REFERENCE
PROVISION.


 


a.        In
the event the Jury Trial waiver is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.


 


b.        With
the exception of the items specified in Section 7(c) below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between
the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned
parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California
in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their
successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is
subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will
be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or
in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).


 


c.        The
matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real
or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver
and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession,
temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise
or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction
any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the
right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

d.        The
referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within
ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the
Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte
or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP
§ 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his
or her representative).


 


e.        The
parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested,
subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20)
days after the matter has been submitted for decision.


 


f.        The
referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines
or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise
ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions
may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15)
days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee
whose decision shall be final and binding.


 


g.        Except
as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including
the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course
of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without
a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee,
and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to
arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties
will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.


 


h.        The
referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California.
The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding.
The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties
and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment
or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims
of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as
a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding
and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order
entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision,
and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding
under this provision.


 


i.         If
the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute
between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through
§1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to
any such arbitration proceeding.


 


j.         THE
PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED
BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN
CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL
APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
