Adverse Effect on (i) the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (iii) the rights of the Lender hereunder. 

    SECTION 4.2. Due Execution, etc.  The execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents

or decree of any court or governmental authority, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any material indenture, mortgage, or deed of trust or any material
lease, agreement, or other instrument binding on the Borrower or any of its properties, or (c) require the consent, authorization by, or approval of or notice to or filing or registration with
any governmental authority or other Person. This Agreement is, and each of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is or will be a party, when delivered hereunder or thereunder, will be, the
legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

to pledge, sell, consign, transfer, and create a security interest therein, free and clear of any and all claims or liens in favor of any other Person other than Permitted Liens. 

5

       SECTION 4.4. No Judgments, Litigation.  No judgments are outstanding against the Borrower nor is there now pending or,
to the best of the Borrower's knowledge after diligent inquiry, threatened any litigation, contested claim, or governmental proceeding by or against the Borrower except judgments and pending or
threatened litigation, contested claims, and governmental proceedings which would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower. 

    SECTION 4.5. No Defaults.  The Borrower is not in default or has not received a notice of default under any material
contract, lease, or commitment to which it is a party or by which it is bound. The Borrower knows of no dispute regarding any contract, lease, or commitment which could have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Borrower. 

    SECTION 4.6. Collateral Locations.  On the date hereof, each item of the Collateral is located at the place of business
specified in the applicable Schedule. 

    SECTION 4.7. No Events of Default.  No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing nor has any event occurred which,
with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. 

    SECTION 4.8. No Limitation on Lender's Rights.  Except as permitted herein, none of the Collateral is subject to
contractual obligations that may restrict or inhibit the Lender's rights or abilities to sell or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default. 

    SECTION 4.9. Perfection and Priority of Security Interest.  This Agreement creates a valid and, upon completion of all
required filings of financing statements, perfected first priority and exclusive security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of all the Obligations.

each item of Equipment that constitutes Collateral. 

    SECTION 4.11. Accuracy and Completeness of Information.  All data, reports, and information heretofore,
contemporaneously, or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Lender or for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, are or will be true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such data, reports, and information are dated or certified and not
incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such data, reports, and information not misleading at such time. There are no facts now known to the Borrower which individually or
in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and which have not been specified herein, in the Financial Statements, or in any certificate, opinion, or other written
statement previously furnished by the Borrower to the Lender. 

    SECTION 4.12. Price of Equipment.  The cost of each item of Equipment does not exceed the fair and usual price for such
type of equipment purchased in like quantity and reflects all discounts, rebates and allowances for the Equipment (including, without limitation, discounts for advertising, prompt payment, testing, or
other services) given to the Borrower by the manufacturer, supplier, or any other person. 

 SECTION 5. COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.  

    SECTION 5.1. Existence, etc.  The Borrower shall: (a) retain its existence and its current yearly accounting
cycle, (b) maintain in full force and effect all licenses, bonds, franchises, leases, trademarks, patents, contracts, and other rights necessary or desirable to the profitable conduct of its
business unless the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, (c) continue in, and limit its operations to, the same general lines of
business as those presently conducted by it, and (d) comply with all applicable laws and regulations of any federal, state, 

6

 

or local governmental authority, except for such laws and regulations the violations of which would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower. 

    SECTION 5.2. Notice to the Lender.  As soon as possible, and in any event within five days after the Borrower learns of
the following, the Borrower will give written notice to the Lender of (a) any proceeding instituted or threatened to be instituted by or against the Borrower in any federal, state, local, or
foreign court or before any commission or other regulatory body (federal, state, local, or foreign) involving a sum, together with the sum involved in all other similar proceedings, in excess of
$50,000 in the aggregate, (b) any contract that is terminated or amended and which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, (c) the
occurrence of any Material Adverse Change with respect to the Borrower, and (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default
or event or condition which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, together with a statement of the action which the Borrower has taken or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 

    SECTION 5.3. Maintenance of Books and Records.  The Borrower will maintain books and records pertaining to the
Collateral in such detail, form, and scope as the Lender shall require in its commercially reasonable judgment. The Borrower agrees that the Lender or its agents may enter upon the Borrower's premises
at any time and from time to time during normal business hours, and at any time upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all
records pertaining thereto. 

    SECTION 5.4. Insurance.  The Borrower will maintain insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with
such insurance companies, in such amounts, and covering such risks as are at all times satisfactory to the Lender. All such policies shall be made payable to the Lender, in case of loss, under a
standard non-contributory "lender" or "secured party" clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Lender may reasonably require to protect the Lender's interests in the
Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. Certificates of insurance policies are to be delivered to the Lender, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the Lender's
favor, and shall provide for not less than thirty days' prior written notice to the Lender, of any alteration or cancellation of coverage. If the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, the Lender
may arrange for (at the Borrower's expense and without any responsibility on the Lender's part for) obtaining the insurance. Unless the Lender shall otherwise agree with the Borrower in writing, the
Lender shall have the sole right, in the name of the Lender or the Borrower, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable
thereunder, and to execute any endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments, or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise, or settlement of any claims
under any such insurance policies. 

    SECTION 5.5. Taxes.  The Borrower will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments, claims, and other charges ("Taxes")
lawfully levied or assessed against the Borrower or the Collateral other than taxes that are being diligently contested in good faith by the Borrower by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
for which an adequate reserve is being maintained by the Borrower in accordance with GAAP. If any Taxes remain unpaid after the date fixed for the payment thereof, or if any lien shall be claimed
therefor, then, without notice to the Borrower, but on the Borrower's behalf, the Lender may pay such Taxes, and the amount thereof shall be included in the Obligations. 

    SECTION 5.6. Borrower to Defend Collateral Against Claims; Fees on Collateral.  The Borrower will defend the Collateral
against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein. The Borrower will not permit any notice creating or otherwise relating to liens on the Collateral
or any portion thereof to exist or be on file in any public office other than Permitted Liens. The Borrower shall promptly pay, when payable, all transportation, storage, and warehousing
charges and license fees, registration fees, assessments, charges, permit fees, and taxes (municipal, state, and federal) which may now or hereafter be imposed upon the ownership, leasing, renting,
possession, 

7

 

sale, or use of the Collateral, other than taxes on or measured by the Lender's income and fees, assessments, charges, and taxes which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves are maintained to the extent required by GAAP. 

    SECTION 5.7. No Change of Location, Structure, or Identity.  The Borrower will not (a) change the location of its
chief executive office or establish any place of business other than those specified herein or (b) move or permit the movement of any item of Collateral from the location specified in the
applicable Schedule, except that the Borrower may change its chief executive office and keep Collateral at other locations within the United States provided that the Borrower has delivered to the
Lender (i) prior written notice thereof and (ii) duly executed financing statements and other agreements and instruments (all in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender) necessary
or, in the opinion of the Lender, desirable to perfect and maintain in favor of the Lender a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower may keep any Collateral consisting of motor vehicles or rolling stock at any location in the United States provided that the Lender's security interest in
any such Collateral is conspicuously marked on the certificate of title thereof and the Borrower has complied with the provisions of Section 5.9. 

    SECTION 5.8. Use of Collateral; Licenses; Repair.  The Collateral shall be operated by competent, qualified personnel in
connection with the Borrower's business purposes, for the purpose for which the Collateral was designed and in accordance with applicable operating instructions, laws, and government regulations, and
the Borrower shall use every reasonable precaution to prevent loss or damage to the Collateral from fire and other hazards. The Collateral shall not be used or operated for personal, family, or
household purposes. The Borrower shall procure and maintain in effect all orders, licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, and consents required by federal, state, or local laws or by any
governmental body, agency, or authority in connection with the delivery, installation, use, and operation of the Collateral. The Borrower shall keep all of the Equipment in a satisfactory state of
repair and satisfactory operating condition in accordance with industry standards, and will make all repairs and replacements when and where necessary and practical. The Borrower will not waste or
destroy the Equipment or any part thereof, and will not be negligent in the care or use thereof. The Equipment shall not be annexed or affixed to or become part of any realty without the Lender's
prior written consent. 

    SECTION 5.9. Further Assurances.  The Borrower will, promptly upon request by the Lender, execute and deliver or use its
best efforts to obtain any document required by the Lender (including, without limitation, warehouseman or processor disclaimers, mortgagee waivers, landlord disclaimers, or
subordination agreements with respect to the Obligations and the Collateral), give any notices, execute and file any financing statements, mortgages, or other documents (all in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender), mark any chattel paper, deliver any chattel paper or instruments to the Lender, and take any other actions that are necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, desirable
to perfect or continue the perfection and the first priority of the Lender's security interest in the Collateral, to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims, or interests of any Persons, or
to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the
Collateral without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. To the extent required under this Agreement, the Borrower will pay all costs incurred in connection with any of the
foregoing. 

    SECTION 5.10. No Disposition of Collateral.  The Borrower will not in any way hypothecate or create or permit to exist
any lien, security interest, charge, or encumbrance on or other interest in any 

8

 

of the Collateral, except for the lien and security interest granted hereby and Permitted Liens which are junior to the lien and security interest of the Lender, and the Borrower will not sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, collaterally assign, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral. In the event the Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged, or
otherwise disposed of in violation of these provisions, the security interest of the Lender shall continue in such Collateral or part thereof notwithstanding such sale, transfer, assignment, exchange,
or other disposition, and the Borrower will hold the proceeds thereof in a separate account for the benefit of the Lender. Following such a sale, the Borrower will transfer such proceeds to the Lender
in kind. 

    SECTION 5.11. No Limitation on Lender's Rights.  The Borrower will not enter into any contractual obligations which may
restrict or inhibit the Lender's rights or ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof. 

    SECTION 5.12. Protection of Collateral.  Upon notice to the Borrower (provided that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing the Lender need not give any notice), the Lender shall have the right at any time to make any payments and do any other acts the Lender may deem necessary to protect its security
interests in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the rights to satisfy, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender,
appears to be prior to or superior to the security interests granted hereunder, and appear in, and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect its security interests in, or the value of, any
of the Collateral. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Lender for all payments made and expenses incurred under this Agreement including fees, expenses, and disbursements of attorneys and
paralegals (including the allocated costs of in-house counsel) acting for the Lender, including any of the foregoing payments under, or acts taken to protect its security interests in, any
of
the Collateral, which amounts shall be secured under this Agreement, and agrees it shall be bound by any payment made or act taken by the Lender hereunder absent the Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Lender shall have no obligation to make any of the foregoing payments or perform any of the foregoing acts. 

    SECTION 5.13. Delivery of Items.  The Borrower will (a) promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day)
after its receipt thereof, deliver to the Lender any documents or certificates of title issued with respect to any property included in the Collateral, and any promissory notes, letters of credit or
instruments related to or otherwise in connection with any property included in the Collateral, which in any such case come into the possession of the Borrower, or shall cause the issuer thereof to
deliver any of the same directly to the Lender, in each case with any necessary endorsements in favor of the Lender and (b) deliver to the Lender as soon as available copies of any and all
press releases and other similar communications issued by the Borrower. 

    SECTION 5.14. Solvency.  The Borrower shall be and remain Solvent at all times. 

    SECTION 5.15. Fundamental Changes.  The Borrower shall not (a) amend or modify its name, unless the Borrower
delivers to the Lender thirty days prior to any such proposed amendment or modification written notice of such amendment or modification and within ten days before such amendment or modification
delivers executed Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender) or (b) merge or consolidate with any other entity or make any material change
in its capital structure, in each case without the Lender's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

    SECTION 5.16. Additional Requirements.  The Borrower shall take all such further actions and execute all such further
documents and instruments as the Lender may reasonably request. 

    SECTION 6. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  Until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Lender the following financial information: 

9

 

    SECTION 6.1. Annual Financial Statements.  As soon as available, but not later than 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, and statements of cash flows and shareholders equity for the Borrower and its
consolidated subsidiaries (the "Financial Statements") for such year, reported on by independent certified public accountants without an adverse qualification; and 

    SECTION 6.2. Quarterly Financial Statements.  As soon as available, but not later than 60 days after the end of
each of the first three fiscal quarters in any fiscal year of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, the Financial Statements for such fiscal quarter, together with a certification duly
executed by a responsible officer of the Borrower that such Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are fairly stated in all material respects (subject to normal
year-end audit adjustments). 

    SECTION 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder:

representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower under or in connection with any Loan Document or any Financial Statement shall prove to have been

the earlier of fifteen days from (A) the date on which the Lender has given the Borrower written notice of such failure and (B) the date on which the Borrower knew or should have known
of such failure; 

    (d) any
provision of any Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on the Borrower, or the Borrower shall so
state;

any such indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to

    SECTION 9.4. Amendments, Waivers, and Consents.  Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any

    SECTION 9.5. Interpretation of Agreement.  Time is of the essence in each provision of this Agreement of which time is
an element. All terms not defined herein or in a Note shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable Code, except where the context otherwise requires. To the extent a term or provision of this
Agreement conflicts with any Note, or any term or provision thereof, and is not dealt with herein with more specificity, this Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter of such term or
provision. Acceptance of or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under this Agreement shall not be relevant in determining the meaning of this Agreement even though the accepting or
acquiescing party had knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection. 

    SECTION 9.6. Continuing Security Interest.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral
and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns and

12

otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrower or upon the appointment of any receiver, intervenor,
conservator, trustee, or similar official for the Borrower or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

    SECTION 9.8. Survival of Provisions.  All representations, warranties, and covenants of the Borrower contained herein

officers, agents, employees, and counsel from and against any and all costs, expenses,

misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Lender or such Person. 

    SECTION 9.10. Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be an original, but both of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and any notices given in

    SECTION 9.12. Delays; Partial Exercise of Remedies.  No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any right or remedy
hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. No single or
partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or preclude any other right or remedy. 

    SECTION 9.13. Entire Agreement.  The Borrower and the Lender agree that this Agreement, the Schedule hereto, and the
Commitment Letter are the complete and exclusive statement and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all proposals and prior agreements, oral or written,
and all other communications between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Should there exist any inconsistency between the terms of the Commitment Letter and this Agreement, the
terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 

    SECTION 9.14. Setoff.  In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that the Lender may have under
Applicable Law, and whether or not the Lender has made any demand or the Obligations of the Borrower have matured, the Lender shall have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Obligations of the Borrower all deposits and other obligations then or thereafter owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.

Dear
Tad: 

    Transamerica
Business Credit Corporation—Technology Finance Division ("Lender") is pleased to offer financing for the Equipment described in this letter (this
"Commitment") to Ostex International, Inc. ("Borrower"). This Commitment supersedes all prior correspondence, proposals, and oral or other communications relating to financing arrangements between
Borrower and Lender. 

    The
outline of this offer is as follows:

	Lender:	 	Transamerica Business Credit Corporation—Technology Finance Division and/or its affiliates, successors or assigns.
	

Borrower:	
 	

Ostex International, Inc.
	

Amount of Loans:	
 	

Not to exceed $2,800,000 in the aggregate.
	

Use of Proceeds:	
 	

Manufacturing ($600,000), tooling ($550,000) and leasehold improvements ($1,650,000) (the "Equipment"). All Equipment subject to Lender approval prior to funding.
	

Collateral:	
 	

Lender will require a perfected first priority security interest in all Equipment financed with the Loans, including but not limited to all additions, accessions, improvements, replacements and attachments thereto and proceeds (including insurance
proceeds) thereof (the "Collateral").
	

Location of Collateral:	
 	

5955 Airport Way South, Seattle, WA
	

Expected Draw-Down Schedule:	
 	

A minimum of $500,000 will be drawn on or before December 31, 2000, and the remaining availability will be drawn on or before December 31, 2001.
	

Draw-Down Expiration:	
 	

No Equipment Loans will be funded after December 31, 2001.
	

Loan Term:	
 	

Each Loan Term will commence upon delivery of the equipment or upon each delivery of items of equipment having an aggregate cost of not less than $100,000 and will continue through 36 months from the first day of the month next following or
coincident with commencement of that Loan Term.
	

Payment Terms:	
 	

Monthly Payments equal to 3.0365% of original principal amount of each Loan will be payable monthly in advance. The first and last Monthly Payments will be due and payable on or before commencement of each Loan Term.
	
	
 	

 

 

	

Adjustment to Payment Terms:	
 	

Lender reserves the right to increase the rate set forth above as of the date each Loan Term commences commensurate to the change in the weekly average of the interest rates of 3-year U.S. Treasury Securities (as published in the Wall Street Journal) from the week ending July 14, 2000 (6.34%) to the week preceding the commencement of that Loan Term. As of the date each Loan Term commences, the Monthly Payment will be fixed for that
entire Loan Term. A schedule of the actual Monthly Payments will be provided by the Lender following commencement of each Loan Term.
	

Balloon Payment:	
 	

At the end of each Loan Term, the Borrower will be obligated to make one final Balloon Payment equal to 15% of the original principal amount of each Loan, plus any other amounts then due and owing to Lender.
	

Interim Payment:	
 	

An Interim Payment will accrue from the date each Loan Term commences until the next following first day of a month (unless the Loan Term commences on the first day of a month). The Interim Payment will be calculated at the daily equivalent of the
currently adjusted Monthly Payment.
	

Warrants:	
 	

As an inducement to the Lender to provide this Commitment, Borrower will grant to Lender Warrants to purchase 33,600 shares of the unregistered common stock of the Borrower at an exercise price equal to $3.00 per share or fair market value as of the
date of this Commitment. The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The Lender will have the option to exercise the Warrants without payment of the exercise price and receive only that number of shares which represents the
value of the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the exercise price (i.e., "net issuance" or "cashless exercise").
	

Insurance:	
 	

Prior to any delivery of Equipment, the Borrower will furnish confirmation of insurance acceptable to the Lender covering the Collateral including primary, all risk, physical damage, property damage and bodily injury with appropriate loss payee and
additional insured endorsements in favor of the Lender.
	

Conditions Precedent to Lending:	
 	

Each Loan will be subject to the following:

1.  No material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or prospects of the Borrower prior to funding. The Lender reserves the right to rescind any unused portion of its commitment in the event of a material adverse change in
the financial condition, operation or prospects of the Borrower.
	

 	
 	

2.  Completion of the documentation and final terms of the proposed financing satisfactory to Lender and Lender's counsel.
	

 	
 	

3.  Results of all due diligence, including lien, judgment and tax search and other matters Lender may request shall be satisfactory to Lender and Lender's counsel.
	

 	
 	

4.  Receipt by Lender of duly executed loan documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel.

5.  Lender shall receive a valid and perfected first priority lien and security interest in the Collateral and Lender shall have received satisfactory evidence that there are no liens on the Collateral except as expressly permitted

Borrower will be required to provide quarterly financial information. All information supplied by the Borrower will be correct and will not omit any statement necessary to make the information supplied not be misleading. There will be no material
breach of the representations and warranties of the Borrower in the loan.
	

Expenses:	
 	

All costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the underwriting and closing of the Loans will be paid by the Borrower whether or not any Loans are consummated and funds are advanced by the Lender. Expenses shall not exceed $5,000
without the prior consent of the Borrower.
	

Law:	
 	

This letter and the proposed Loan are intended to be governed by and construed in accordance with Illinois law without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
	

Indemnity:	
 	

Borrower agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless Lender, and its officers, directors and employees against all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by or asserted against any such person in connection with or arising out
of this letter and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than claims, damages, liability, and expense resulting from such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
	

Confidentiality:	
 	

This letter is delivered to you with the understanding that neither it nor its substance shall be disclosed publicly or privately to any third person except those who are in a confidential relationship to you (such as your legal counsel and
accountants), or where the same is required by law and then only on the basis that it not be further disclosed, which conditions Borrower and its agents agree to be bound by upon acceptance of this letter.
	

 	
 	

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of such persons shall use or refer to Lender or to any affiliate name in any disclosures made in connection with any of the transactions without Lender's prior written consent.
	

 	
 	

Upon completion of the initial takedown by Borrower, the Borrower will no longer be required to obtain Lender's prior written consent to disclose the transaction contemplated hereby. In addition, the Borrower agrees to provide camera ready artwork of
