Nondisclosure and Invention Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by
and between the individual referenced on the signature page (“Executive”) and Vu1
Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”).

    

    The
parties agree as follows:

    

    1.           Confidentiality.  Executive
recognizes that during the course of employment with the Company, Executive will
have access to certain Confidential Information (as defined below) relating to
the business of the Company.  Executive agrees that all Confidential
Information shall remain the exclusive property of the Company.

    

    At all
times during or following Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive
agrees not to disclose to anyone outside the Company, nor to use for any purpose
other than Executive’s work for the Company, (i) any Confidential Information or
(ii) any information the Company has received from others which Executive knows
the Company is obligated to treat as confidential or proprietary.

    

    2.           Definition of Confidential
Information.  “Confidential Information”
means any information or material in which the Company has rights, whether or
not owned or developed by the Company, which is not generally known other than
by the Company, and which Executive may obtain knowledge of through or as a
result of the employment relationship established with the Company.

    

    Without
limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information includes:  (a) any
and all information in which the Company has rights relating to the invention,
design and development of the Company’s products and any other proprietary
technical information of the Company that is not generally known other than by
the Company; and (b) any and all business plans, marketing techniques and plans,
financial materials, cost data, customer lists, vendor lists, pricing policies
and other proprietary business information of the Company that is not generally
known other than by the Company.

    

    Confidential
Information will not include information that (i) Executive lawfully obtains
from any third party who has lawfully obtained such information; (ii) is
generally available to the public or is later published or generally disclosed
to the public by the Company; or (iii) was already known to or in possession of

below) that Executive makes, conceives, develops, discovers, reduces to practice
or fixes in a tangible medium of expression, alone or with others, either (a)
during the term of Executive’s employment by the Company (whether or not during
working hours), or (b) within 12 months after Executive’s employment ends if the
Invention or Work is derived from or relates to any work Executive performed for
the Company or involves the use or assistance of the Company’s facilities,
materials, personnel or Confidential Information.  The Company also
owns all Inventions and Works that Executive brings to the Company that are used
in the course of the Company’s business or that are incorporated into any
Inventions or Works that belong to the Company.

    Executive
will promptly disclose to the Company, hold in trust for the Company’s sole
benefit, and assign to the Company and hereby assigns exclusively to the Company
all Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions and
Works.  Executive hereby waives any and all claims of any nature
whatsoever that Executive now or hereafter may have for infringement of any
patent resulting from any patent applications for any
Inventions.  Executive agrees that all Works shall be considered
“works made for hire” so that the Company will be considered the author of the
Works under the federal copyright laws.  At the Company’s direction
and expense Executive will execute all documents and take all actions necessary
or convenient for the Company to give effect to the assignment to, and vesting
of ownership in, the Company of all Inventions and Works.  The Company
shall have full control over all applications for patents or other legal
protection of Inventions and Works.

    

    “Inventions” means discoveries,
developments, concepts, ideas, improvements to existing technology, processes,
procedures, machines, products, compositions of matter, formulae, algorithms,
software, computer programs and techniques, and all other matters ordinarily
intended by the word “invention,” whether or not patentable or copyrightable,
including all copyrights (including renewal rights), patent rights and trade
secret rights, vested and contingent.  “Inventions” also includes all
records and expressions of those matters.  “Works” means original works of
authorship, including interim work product, modifications and derivative works,
and all similar matter, whether or not copyrightable.

    

    Except as
expressly provided herein, “Inventions” or “Works” shall not include inventions
or works for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret
information of the Company was used and which were developed entirely on
Executive’s own time, unless (a) the invention or work relates directly to the
Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated business, or (b) the invention or
work derives from or relates to any work Executive performed for the
Company.

    

    4.           Reverse
Engineering.  Executive agrees that Executive will not engage,
nor cause any other person, firm, corporation or other entity to engage, in the
reproduction of Confidential Information, Inventions or Works through the
techniques of “reverse engineering” as described in Title 17, United States
Code, Section 906, as such statute may be amended from time to
time.

    

    5.           Return of
Materials.  At the time Executive leaves the employ of the
Company, or sooner at the request of the Company, Executive shall return all
papers, drawings, notes, memoranda, manuals, specifications, designs, devices,
documents, diskettes, tapes, prototypes and products, and any other material on
any media containing or disclosing any confidential or proprietary technical or
business information, except for any documents or other materials received as a
shareholder of the Company, this Agreement, the Executive Employment Agreement
and any other Company documents describing or setting forth Executive’s rights
to compensation or benefits from the Company.  Executive shall also
return any keys, pass cards, identification cards, or other property belonging
to the Company.

    6.           Non Competition with the
Company.  While employed by the Company and for 12 months after
employment ends, regardless of the reason it ends, Executive shall not do work
that competes with or relates to any of the Company’s products or activities
without first obtaining the Company’s written permission.  Any
business opportunities related to the Company’s business that Executive learns
of or obtains while employed by the Company (whether or not during working
hours) belong to the Company, and Executive shall pursue them only for the
Company’s benefit.

    

    7.           Disclosure of New
Work.  Before Executive undertakes any work for any other party
during employment by the Company or within 12 months after employment ends that
will involve subject matter related to the Company’s activities, Executive shall
fully disclose the proposed work to the Company.

    

    8.           Nonsolicitation.  So
long as Executive is employed by the Company and for 12 months after employment
ends, regardless of the reason it ends, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly (a) solicit any employee or executive to leave his or her employment
with the Company or (b) solicit business from clients, customers or account
holders of the Company that is substantially similar to the business then
conducted by the Company.  For purposes of the foregoing, Executive
shall not do any of the following:  (i) disclose to any third
party the names, backgrounds or qualifications of any Company employees or
executives or otherwise identify them as potential candidates for employment;
(ii) personally or through any other person, approach, recruit or otherwise
solicit employees or executives of the Company to work for any other employer;
(iii) participate in any pre-employment interviews with any person who was
employed by the Company during the term of this Agreement; (iv) disclose to
any third party the names, background or any information about any Company
clients, customers or account holders, or otherwise identify them as potential
sources of business; (v) personally or through any other person, approach
or otherwise solicit clients, customers or account holders of the Company as
potential sources of business.  The term “solicit” or “solicitation”
or the like does not include general advertisements or other solicitations to

Executive is not a party to any agreements, such as confidentiality agreements,
or assignment of invention agreements, with any other party except for those

from being employed by the Company.

trade secret without express or implied consent violates the Uniform Trade
Secrets Act. RCW 19.108.010. Executive acknowledges that the Company is not

    13.           Severability.  To
the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement,
and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall be
unaffected.  In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the
foregoing, it is expressly agreed that, should the duration or geographical
extent of, or the business activities covered by this Agreement be finally
determined to be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under
applicable law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that geography,
duration, extent, or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered.

stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner which renders its
provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its

the law that would govern this Agreement, and (b) California law may be
more favorable to Executive in certain material respects than Washington
law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive and the Company have
specifically bargained for this Agreement to be governed by Washington law
(without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law).  The
parties hereby consent and agree that the federal or state courts of the State
of Washington (located in Seattle, Washington) will have jurisdiction to hear,
determine, and enforce any claims or disputes arising out of or related to the
provisions of this Agreement.

substantially prevailing party in any litigation brought under the terms of this
Agreement shall be entitled to an award of reasonable costs and expenses of
litigation and any appeal, including reasonable attorneys’
fees.  Executive’s obligations under this Agreement supplement and do
not limit other obligations Executive has to the Company, including without
limitation under the law of trade secrets.  This Agreement shall be
enforceable regardless of any claim Executive may have against the
Company.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable as written, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent allowed by
applicable law.  If any provision of this Agreement is void or is so
declared, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, which shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect.  This Agreement shall
survive termination of Executive’s employment, however caused.  This
Agreement is the final and complete expression of the parties’ agreement on
these subjects, and may be amended only in a writing signed by the Company and
Executive.

              a

Bank with respect to commercial trade letters of credit such fees and
commissions as are agreed upon at the time of issuance thereof. In addition,
Company and Bank may from time to time enter into foreign exchange agreements.
The Foreign Exchange Reserve shall be the amount determined by the Bank from
time to time to be its credit exposure to Company under foreign exchange
transactions with Company.

year of 360 days. The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the first day of each July, October, January and April (commencing January 1,
2011) and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. For purposes of calculating the
commitment fee, outstanding Letters of Credit shall be considered usage of the
commitment and foreign exchange transactions shall not be considered usage of
the commitment.

     

    2.8          Proceeds
of Advances under the Revolving Credit Note shall be used solely for working
capital purposes and for Capital Expenditures.

               REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES

            

    

     

    Company
represents and warrants and such representations and warranties shall be deemed
to be continuing representations and warranties during the entire life of this
Agreement:

     

    6.1           Company
is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of
the State of Michigan; Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified to do business,
except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of Company and its Subsidiaries or their
ability to carry on their business; execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and other documents and instruments required under this Agreement, and
the issuance of the Note by Company are within its powers, have been duly
authorized, are not in contravention of law or the terms of Company’s Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws, and do not require the consent or approval of any
governmental body, agency or authority; and this Agreement and other documents
and instruments required under this Agreement and Note, when issued and
delivered, will be valid and binding on the Company in accordance with their
terms.

     

    6.2           The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other documents
and instruments required under this Agreement, and the issuance of the Notes by
Company are not in contravention of the unwaived terms of any indenture,
agreement or undertaking to which Company is a party or by which it is
bound.

     

    6.3           Except
as described in attached Schedule 6.3, no litigation or other proceeding before
any court or administrative agency is pending, or to the knowledge of the
officers of Company is threatened against Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially impair Company’s
or any Subsidiary’s financial condition or the ability of Company or any
Subsidiary to carry on its business.

     

    6.4           There
are no security interests in, liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances on any of
Company’s or any Subsidiary’s assets, except to Bank or as otherwise permitted
by this Agreement.

     

    6.5           Neither
Company nor any Subsidiary maintains or contributes to any employee pension
benefit plan subject to title IV of the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974” (herein called “ERISA”), except those set forth in attached Schedule 6.5. There
was no unfunded past service liability of any pension plan maintained by the
Company as of June 30, 2010, and there is no accumulated funding deficiency
within the meaning of ERISA, or any existing material liability with respect to
any pension plan owed to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or
any successor thereto, except any funding deficiency for which an application to
the PBGC for waiver is pending or for which a waiver has been granted by the
PBGC.

     

    6.6           The
financial statements of the Company dated June 30, 2010, previously furnished to
Bank, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date; since said date there
has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Company
and its consolidated Subsidiaries; to the best of the knowledge of Company’s
officers, Company does not have any material contingent obligations (including
any liability for taxes) not disclosed by or reserved against in said balance
sheet, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated
losses from any present commitment of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

    6.7          To
the best knowledge of Company, the financial projections previously furnished by
Company to Bank were as of the date thereof and are as of the date of execution
of this Agreement reasonable in all material respects taking into account all
facts and information known or reasonably available to Company.

     

    6.8          All
tax returns and tax reports of Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
required by law to have been filed have been duly filed or extensions obtained,
and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies (other than
those presently payable without penalty and those currently being contested in
good faith for which adequate reserves have been established) upon
Company  and its consolidated Subsidiaries (or any of its or their
properties) which are due and payable and for which the failure to pay would
materially adversely affect its business or the value of its property or assets
have been paid. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Company in
respect of the Federal income tax for all periods are adequate in the opinion of
Company.

     

    6.9          Except
as set forth in Schedule 6.9, there are no Subsidiaries of Company.

     

    6.10        Except
as set forth in Schedule
6.10:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              Company
      and each of its Subsidiaries, in the conduct of its business, is in
      compliance in all material respects with all federal, state or local laws,
      statutes, ordinances and regulations applicable to any of them, the
      enforcement of which, if such Person were not in compliance, would
      reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the
      value of its property or assets. Company and its Subsidiaries have all
      approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, orders and other permits of
      all governmental agencies and authorities, whether federal, state or
      local, required to permit the operation of their business as presently
      conducted, except such approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses,
      orders and other permits with respect to which the failure to have would
      not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect their business
      or the value of their property or assets (taken as a
    whole).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              Neither
      Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any litigation or administrative
      proceeding, nor so far as is known by Company is any litigation or
      administrative proceeding threatened against Company or any Subsidiary,
      the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to have a material
      adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary which in either case (i)
      asserts or alleges that Company or any Subsidiary violated Environmental
      Laws, (ii) asserts or alleges that Company or any Subsidiary is required
      to clean up, remove, or take remedial or other response action due to the
      disposal, depositing, discharge, leaking or other release of any hazardous
      substances or materials, (iii) asserts or alleges that Company or any
      Subsidiary is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any past,
      present, or future cleanup, removal or remedial or other response action
      which arises out of or is related to the disposal, depositing, discharge,
      leaking or other release of any hazardous substances or materials by
      Company or any Subsidiary.

              (c)

            	
              Neither
      Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any judgment, decree, order or
      citation related to or arising out of applicable Environmental Laws which
      would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business
      or the value of its property or assets and to the best knowledge of the
      Company, neither Company nor any Subsidiary has been named or listed as a
      potentially responsible party by any governmental body or agency in a
      matter arising under any applicable Environmental Laws which would
      reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the
      value of its property or assets.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              To
      the best of Company’s knowledge, Company and its Subsidiaries have all
      permits, licenses and approvals required under applicable Environmental
      Laws, the failure of which to have would have a material adverse effect on
      the operation of their business as presently conducted and as proposed to
      be conducted.

            

    

     

    6.11        Company
is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. Company is not engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, directly or indirectly, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and none of the
proceeds of any of the loans hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for
any purpose which would violate the provisions of Regulation U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Terms for which meanings are
provided in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
or any regulations substituted therefor, as from time to time in effect, are
used in this paragraph with such meanings.

     

    6.12        Company
and its Subsidiaries have good and valid title to the property pledged,
mortgaged or otherwise encumbered or to be encumbered by them under the Security
Agreements.

Environmental Laws, caused by or in any way related to any property owned or
operated by Company, or due to any acts of Company or such person’s, officers,

property or  for which the Bank is otherwise solely responsible. In no
event shall Company be liable hereunder for any loss, damages, suits, penalties,
costs, liabilities or expenses arising from any act of gross negligence of Bank,

Bank, or under any other document or agreement given to secure repayment of any
indebtedness from Company, whether or not such claims arise before or after Bank
has foreclosed upon and/or otherwise become the owner of any such property. All
obligations of indemnity as provided hereunder shall be secured by the
collateral documents.

     

    It is
expressly agreed and understood that the provisions hereof shall and are

licenses and approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws except such

not be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the value of its
property or assets.

      on behalf of Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of any of its
      employees or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District
      Court of a trustee to administer such plan and is reasonably likely that

    then, or
at any time thereafter, unless such default is remedied, Bank may give notice to
Company declaring all outstanding indebtedness hereunder and under the Note to
be due and payable, whereupon all Indebtedness then outstanding hereunder and
under the Note and any Letters of Credit shall immediately become due and
payable without further notice and demand, and Bank shall not be obligated to
make further Advances or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder.

     

    10.2       If
a creditors’ committee shall have been appointed for the business of Company,
any Subsidiary or any Guarantor in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency;
or if Company, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor shall have made a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall have been adjudicated bankrupt,
or shall have filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or
to effect a plan or arrangement with creditors; or shall file an answer to a
creditor’s petition or other petition filed against it, admitting the material
allegations thereof for an adjudication in bankruptcy or for reorganization; or
shall have applied for or permitted the appointment of a receiver, or trustee or
custodian for any of its property or assets; or such receiver, trustee or
custodian shall have been appointed for any of its property or assets (otherwise
than upon application or consent of Company, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor, as
applicable), and such receiver, trustee or custodian so appointed shall not have
been discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of his appointment or if
an order shall be entered and shall not be dismissed or stayed within sixty (60)
days from its entry, approving any petition for reorganization of Company, any
Subsidiary or any Guarantor, then the Note and all Indebtedness then outstanding
hereunder and under any Letters of Credit shall automatically become immediately
due and payable and Bank shall not be obligated to make further Advances or
issue any Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

     

    10.3       Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless all of
the Indebtedness is then immediately fully paid, Bank shall have and may
exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies for which provision is made
for a secured party under the UCC, under the Security Agreements or under any
other document contemplated hereby or for which provision is provided by law or
in equity, including, without limitation, the right to take possession and sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the collateral and to set off
against the Indebtedness any amount owing by Bank to Company and/or any property
of Company in possession of Bank.  Company agrees, upon request of
Bank, to assemble the collateral and make it available to Bank at any place
designated by Bank which is reasonably convenient to Bank and
Company.

    10.4       All
of the Indebtedness shall constitute one loan secured by Bank’s security
interest in the collateral and by all other security interests, mortgages,
liens, claims, and encumbrances now and from time to time hereafter granted from
Company to Bank.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default which is not cured within the cure period, if any, provided
hereunder, Bank may in its sole discretion apply the collateral to any portion
of the Indebtedness.  The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
the Collateral authorized by this Agreement shall be applied by Bank, first upon
all expenses authorized by the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code (or other
applicable law) or otherwise in connection with the sale and all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Bank; the balance of the proceeds
of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in the payment of the
Indebtedness, first to interest, then to principal, then to other Indebtedness
and the surplus, if any, shall be paid over to Company or to such other Person
or Persons as may be entitled thereto under applicable law.  Company
shall remain liable for any deficiency, which Company shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand.

     

    10.5       The
remedies provided for herein are cumulative to the remedies for collection of
the Indebtedness as provided by law, in equity or by any mortgage, security
agreement or other document contemplated hereby.  Nothing herein
contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to preclude Bank from pursuing
any other remedy for the recovery of any other sum to which Bank may be or
become entitled for the breach of this Agreement by Company.

     

    10.6       Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Company shall
immediately upon demand by Bank deposit with Bank cash collateral in the amount
equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn at any time under any Letter
of Credit then outstanding.

    11.1       This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Company and
Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the credit
provided for under this Agreement and no part thereof and no obligation of Bank
hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by Company.

     

    11.2       Company
shall pay all closing costs and expenses, including, by way of description and
not limitation, reasonable attorney fees, lien search fees, appraisal fees and
title policy fees incurred by Bank in connection with the commitment,
consummation and closing of this Agreement. All of said amounts required to be
paid by Company may, at Bank’s option, be charged by Bank as an advance against
the proceeds of the Note. All costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred
by Bank in protecting or enforcing any of its or any of the Bank’s rights
against Company or any collateral or in defending Bank from any claims or
liabilities by any party or otherwise incurred by Bank in connection with an
event of default or the enforcement of this Agreement or the related documents,
including by way of description and not limitation, such charges in any court or
bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or action by any person
against Bank which would not have been asserted were it not for Bank’s
relationship with Company hereunder, shall also be paid by
Company.

    11.3       Where
the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense
is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting
computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, it shall
be done in accordance with GAAP.

     

    11.4       No
delay or failure of Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall affect such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
other power, right or privilege. The rights of Bank under this Agreement are
cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedies which Bank would otherwise
have.

     

    11.5       Except
as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all notices and other
communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by mail, by reputable overnight
courier, by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to it at its
address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such
party in a notice to the other parties that complies as to delivery with the
terms of this Section 11.5. Any notice, if personally delivered or if mailed and
properly addressed with postage prepaid and sent by registered or certified
mail, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if given to a reputable
overnight courier and properly addressed, shall be deemed given two (2) Business
Days after the date on which it was sent, unless it is actually received sooner
by the named addressee; and any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile,
shall be deemed given when received (answerback confirmed in the case of telexes
and receipt confirmed in the case of telecopies). Bank may, but shall not be
required to, take any action on the basis of any notice given to it by
telephone, but Company shall promptly confirm such notice in writing or by telex
or facsimile, and such notice will not be deemed to have been received until
such confirmation is deemed received in accordance with the provisions of this
Section set forth above. If such telephonic notice conflicts with any such
confirmation, the terms of such telephonic notice shall control.

    11.6       This
Agreement and the Notes have been delivered at Detroit, Michigan, and shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Michigan. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

    11.7       No
amendments or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement nor consent to any
departure by Company therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then such amendment, waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any
provision of this Agreement shall affect any other provision of this
Agreement.

     

    11.8       All
sums payable by Company to Bank under this Agreement or the other documents
contemplated hereby shall be paid directly to Bank at its principal office set
forth in Section 11.5 hereof in immediately available United States funds,
without set off, deduction or counterclaim.  In its sole discretion,
Bank may charge any and all deposit or other accounts (including without limit
an account evidenced by a certificate of deposit) of Company with Bank for all
or a part of any Indebtedness then due; provided, however, that this
authorization shall not affect Company’s obligation to pay, when due, any
Indebtedness whether or not account balances are sufficient to pay amounts
due.

     

    11.9       Any
payment of the Indebtedness made by mail will be deemed tendered and received
only upon actual receipt by Bank at the address designated for such payment,
whether or not Bank has authorized payment by mail or any other manner, and
shall not be deemed to have been made in a timely manner unless received on the
date due for such payment, time being of the essence.  Company
expressly assumes all risks of loss or liability resulting from non-delivery or
delay of delivery of any item of payment transmitted by mail or in any other
manner.  Acceptance by Bank of any payment in an amount less than the
amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure
to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of
Default, and at any time thereafter and until the entire amount then due has
been paid, Bank shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights conferred upon
it herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Company waives the right to
direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter
received by Bank from or on behalf of Company. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Company agrees that Bank shall have the
continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received
at any time or times hereafter against the Indebtedness in such manner as Bank
may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon any of its books and
records.  Company expressly agrees that to the extent that Bank
receives any payment or benefit and such payment or benefit, or any part
thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party
under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,
then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the Indebtedness or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment or benefit had not been made and, further, any such repayment
by Bank, to the extent that Bank did not directly receive a corresponding cash
payment, shall be added to and be additional Indebtedness payable upon demand by
Bank.

    11.10     In
the event Company’s obligation to pay interest on the principal balance of the
Note is or becomes in excess of the maximum interest rate which Company is
permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the
execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest
applicable shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and
all previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have
been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest.

     

    11.11    COMPANY
AND BANK ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE,
BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY,
AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED
TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INDEBTEDNESS.

     

    11.12     This
Agreement shall become effective upon the execution hereof by Bank and
Company.

     

    11.13     This
Agreement constitutes an amendment to and restatement in its entirety of the
Existing Credit Agreement, which Existing Credit Agreement is fully superseded
and amended and restated in its entirety hereby without constituting a novation;
provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Existing Credit
Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect (subject to the
terms hereof).

    Litigation

    

    The
Company is a party to a suit filed by Industries GDS, Inc., Bois Granval GDS
Inc., and Centre de Preparation GDS, Inc. (collectively, “GDS”) on or about
November 21, 2002 in the Superior Court of the Judicial District of Quebec,
Canada against the Company, Carbotech, Inc. (“Carbotech”), and U.S. Natural
Resources, Inc. (“USNR”), among others.  The suit alleges that the
Company breached its contractual and warranty obligations as a manufacturer in
connection with the sale and installation of three systems for trimming and
edging wood products.  The suit also alleges that Carbotech breached
its contractual obligations in connection with the sale of equipment and the
installation of two trimmer lines, of which the Company’s systems were a part,
and that USNR, which acquired substantially all of the assets of the Forest
Products business unit from the Company, was liable for GDS’
damages.  USNR has sought indemnification from the Company under the
terms of existing contracts between the Company and USNR.  GDS seeks
compensatory damages against the Company, Carbotech and USNR of approximately
$6.4 million using a June 30, 2010 exchange rate.  GDS and Carbotech
have filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada.  The Company intends
to vigorously defend against GDS’ claims.

     

    The
Company is a party to a suit filed by i-CEM Service, Inc. and 3CEMS Prime
(collectively “3CEMS”) on or about July 1, 2010 in the Federal Court for the
Northern District of Illinois.  The suit alleges that the Company
breached its contractual and common law indemnification obligations by failing
to pay for component parts used to manufacture optical video
scopes.  The suit seeks damages of not less than $4
million.  The Company intends to vigorously defend against 3CEMS’
claims.
