THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT dated February 7, 2002, is made and executed
between International Remote Imaging Systems, Inc. ("Grantor") and California
Bank & Trust ("Lender").
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender
a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that
Lender shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means
the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which
Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this
Agreement:
ALL INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT, ACCOUNTS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL
HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLES), CHATTEL PAPER, INSTRUMENTS
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PROMISSORY NOTES), LETTER-OF-CREDIT

NOW OR HEREAFTER SUBJECT TO ANY RIGHTS IN THE FOREGOING PROPERTY; AND
ALL PRODUCTS AND PROCEEDS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL INSURANCE

In addition, the word "Collateral" also includes all the following, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and
wherever located:

replacements of and additions to any of the collateral described herein,
whether added now or later. (B) All products and produce of any of the
property described in this Collateral section.
(B) All products and produce of any of the property described in this
Collateral Section.
(C) All accounts, general intangibles, instruments, rents, monies,

electronic media.
Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will
not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the
extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In
addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a
notice of the right to cancel under Truth in Lending for the Indebtedness, then
Lender will not have a security interest in such Collateral unless and until
such a notice is given.
CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. In addition to the Note, this Agreement secures all
obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Grantor to Lender,
or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Lender against Grantor or
any one or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether
related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or otherwise,
whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute
or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated whether Grantor may be liable
individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as guarantor, surety,
accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be
or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the
obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise
unenforceable.
GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With
respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Grantor agrees to execute financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Lender to
perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will
note Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered
to Lender for possession by Lender. THIS IS A CONTINUING SECURITY
AGREEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE IN EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ALL OR ANY PART OF THE
INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL AND EVEN THOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
GRANTOR MAY NOT BE INDEBTED TO LENDER.
NOTICES TO LENDER. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at
Lender's address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may
designate from time to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor's name;
(2) change in Grantor's assumed business name(s); (3) change in the
management of the Corporation Grantor; (4) change in the authorized
signer(s); (5) change in Grantor's principal office address; (6) change
in Grantor's state of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new
or different type of business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect
of Grantor that directly or indirectly relates to any agreements between
Grantor and Lender. No change in Grantor's name or state of organization
will take effect until after Lender has received notice
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a
party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do
not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.
ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance
with its terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws
and regulations
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 2
================================================================================
concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and
all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority
and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be
on the Collateral. At the time any Account becomes subject to a security
interest in favor of Lender, the Account shall be a good and valid
account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by
the account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery
instructions or previously shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract
of sale, or for services previously performed by Grantor with or for the
account debtor. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Grantor
shall not, without Lender's prior written consent, compromise, settle,
adjust, or extend payment under or with regard to any such Accounts.
There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any of the
Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made under which any
deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the Collateral except
those disclosed to Lender in writing.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the
Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general
intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address
shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon
Lender's request. Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to
Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating
to Grantor's operations, including without limitation the following: (1)
all real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property
Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Grantor owns,
rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is
or may be located.
REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior written
consent. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or
other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles
outside the State of Delaware, without Lender's prior written consent.
Grantor shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact location
of the Collateral.
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, or as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell,
or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While Grantor is not
in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in
the ordinary course of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a
buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course
of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in partial or total
satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge,
mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to
any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if
junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement.
Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the
Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and
shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this
requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other
disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such
proceeds to Lender.
TITLE. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good
and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing
statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office
other than those which reflect the security interest created by this
Agreement or to which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall
defend Lender's rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands
of all other persons.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to
cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair
and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect.
Grantor further agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or
services rendered or material furnished in connection with the
Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed
against the Collateral.
INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender and Lender's designated representatives
and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and
inspect the Collateral wherever located.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon
this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the
Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may
withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is
in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the
obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is
not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected
to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or
other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide
for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as a result of
foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor shall
defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment
before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name Lender as
an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings. Grantor further agrees to furnish Lender with evidence that
such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges have been
paid in full and in a timely manner. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay
and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral, including all laws or
regulations relating to the undue erosion of highly-erodible land or
relating to the conversion of wetlands for the production of an
agricultural product or commodity. Grantor may contest in good faith any
such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any
proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest
in the Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the
Collateral never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement
remains a lien on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental
Laws or for the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation,
treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
Substance. The representations and warranties contained herein are based
on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous
Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims
against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor
becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any Environmental Laws,
and (2) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all
claims and losses resulting from a breach of this provision of this
Agreement. This obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the
Indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain
all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and
liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may
require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and
basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or
companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of
Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or
certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without
at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including
any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a
notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement
providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any
way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. In
connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is
offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss
payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any
time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this
Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such
insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses
"single interest insurance;" which will cover only Lender's interest in
the Collateral.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 3
================================================================================
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender
of any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss
if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or
reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or
restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the
Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to
pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any
proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their
receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration
of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium
due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid.
If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender.
The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the
payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to
Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
information as Lender may reasonably request including the following:
(1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of
the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the
basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining
that value; and (6) the expiration date of the policy. In addition,
Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than
annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender
determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the
Collateral.
FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC-1
financing statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to
perfect Lender's security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor
additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to
perfect, protect, and continue Lender's security interest in the
Property. Grantor will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and
other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender
is required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantor irrevocably
appoints Lender to execute financing statements and documents of title
in Grantor's name and to execute all documents necessary to transfer
title if there is a default. Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as
a financing statement. If Grantor changes Grantor's name or address, or
the name or address of any person granting a security interest under
this Agreement changes, Grantor will promptly notify the Lender of such
change.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
PAYMENT DEFAULT. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or
in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
between Lender and Grantor.
DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Should Borrower or any Grantor
default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement,
purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any
other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Grantor's
property or Grantor's or any Grantor's ability to repay the Indebtedness
or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of
the Related Documents.
FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
false or misleading at any time thereafter.
DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security
interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
Grantor.
CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness.
This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's accounts, including
deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not
apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate
reserve or bond for the dispute.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or Guarantor dies or
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 4
================================================================================
becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
the Indebtedness is impaired.
INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12)
months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if
Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of
such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if
the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates
steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to
cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable
and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.
ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all
or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title
and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require
Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a
place to be designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to
enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the
Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this
Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take
such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to
return them to Grantor after repossession.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease,
transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in
Lender's own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at
public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Lender will give Grantor, and other persons as
required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition
of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be provided to
any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification
of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such
notice is given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or
disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral,
including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding,
insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a
part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable
on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until
repaid.
APPOINT RECEIVER. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with
the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the
Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from
the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral
exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any
Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and
receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the
same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the
Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.
Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles,
insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or
similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle,
compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as
Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then
due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of
Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change
any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse
notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and
items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral. To
facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on
any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the
Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any
deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application
of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this
Agreement. Grantor shall be liable for a deficiency even if the
transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or
chattel paper.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall
have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have
available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement,
the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and
may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to
pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform,
shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its
remedies.
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT SECURITY. Grantor hereby grants a security interest to Lender
in any and all deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market or time) of
Grantor at Lender, now existing or hereinafter opened, to secure the
Indebtedness. This includes all deposit accounts Grantor holds jointly with
someone else.

THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 7, 2002, IS MADE AND EXECUTED
AMONG ADVANCED DIGITAL IMAGING RESEARCH, LLC ("GRANTOR"); INTERNATIONAL REMOTE
IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. ("BORROWER"); AND CALIFORNIA BANK & TRUST ("LENDER").
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, GRANTOR GRANTS TO LENDER
A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL TO SECURE THE INDEBTEDNESS AND AGREES THAT
LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHTS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE
COLLATERAL, IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER RIGHTS WHICH LENDER MAY HAVE BY LAW.
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means
the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which
Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this
Agreement:
ALL INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT, ACCOUNTS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL
HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLES), CHATTEL PAPER, INSTRUMENTS (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PROMISSORY NOTES), LETTER-OF-CREDIT RIGHTS, LETTERS

In addition, the word "Collateral" also includes all the following, whether now

Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will
not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the
extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In
addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a

otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or
undetermined, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated whether
Borrower or Grantor may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether
obligated as guarantor, surety, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether
recovery upon such amounts may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute
of limitations, and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or
hereafter may become otherwise unenforceable.

Agreement or by applicable law, (A) Borrower agrees that Lender need not tell
Borrower about any action or inaction Lender takes in connection with this
Agreement; (B) Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping
informed about the Collateral; and (C) Borrower waives any defenses that may
arise because of any action or inaction of Lender, including without limitation
any failure of Lender to realize upon the Collateral or any delay by Lender in
realizing upon the Collateral; and Borrower agrees to remain liable under the
Note no matter what action Lender takes or fails to take under this Agreement.

and to pledge the Collateral to Lender; (C) Grantor has established adequate

obtaining the consent of Grantor: (A) grant any extension of time for any

================================================================================
against Grantor or the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With
respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Grantor agrees to execute financing statements
and to take whatever other actions are requested by Lender to perfect and
continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon request of Lender,
Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or
constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note Lender's interest upon any
and all chattel paper if not delivered to Lender for possession by Lender. THIS
IS A CONTINUING SECURITY AGREEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE IN EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ALL
OR ANY PART OF THE INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL AND EVEN THOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME BORROWER MAY NOT BE INDEBTED TO LENDER.
NOTICES TO LENDER. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at Lender's
address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may designate from time
to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor's name; (2) change in Grantor's
assumed business name(s); (3) change in the management or in the members or
managers of the limited liability company Grantor; (4) change in the authorized
signer(s); (5) change in Grantor's principal office address; (6) change in
Grantor's state of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new or different
type of business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect of Grantor that
directly or indirectly relates to any agreements between Grantor and Lender. No
change in Grantor's name or state of organization will take effect until after
Lender has received notice
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate any
law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and its
membership agreement does not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.
ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL. To the extent the Collateral consists of accounts,
chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the Uniform Commercial
Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine,
and fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations concerning form,
content and manner of preparation and execution, and all persons appearing to be
obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity to contract and are in
fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral. At the time any Account
becomes subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, the Account shall be
a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness
incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery
instructions or previously shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale,
or for services previously performed by Grantor with or for the account debtor.
So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Grantor shall not, without Lender's
prior written consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or
with regard to any such Accounts. There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims
against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made under which
any deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the Collateral except
those disclosed to Lender in writing.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's business,
Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the Collateral consists
of intangible property such as accounts or general intangibles, the records
concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above or at such other
locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will
deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties
and Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
limitation the following: (1) all real property Grantor owns or is purchasing;
(2) all real property Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities
Grantor owns, rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where
Collateral is or may be located.
REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's business,
including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from
its existing location without Lender's prior written consent. To the extent that
the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property, Grantor shall not
take or permit any action which would require application for certificates of
title for the vehicles outside the State of Delaware, without Lender's prior
written consent. Grantor shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact
location of the Collateral.
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, or as otherwise provided
for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise
transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While Grantor is not in default under
this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in the ordinary course of
its business and only to buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of
business. A sale in the ordinary course of Grantor's business does not include a
transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor
shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be
subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right to
the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Lender,
all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall
be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds;
provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any
sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any
such proceeds to Lender.
TITLE. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good and
marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement covering any of
the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect
the security interest created by this Agreement or to which Lender has
specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's rights in the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all other persons.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to cause
others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair and condition
at all times while this Agreement remains in effect. Grantor further agrees to
pay when due all claims for work done on, or services rendered or material
furnished in connection with the Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may
ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.
INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender and Lender's designated representatives and
agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the
Collateral wherever located.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes, assessments
and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon
any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the
other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to
contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate
proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in
the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is
subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other
security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the
discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees or
other charges that could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the
Collateral. In any contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall
satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral.
Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond
furnished in the contest proceedings. Grantor further agrees to furnish Lender
with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges
have been paid in full and in a timely manner. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting
an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as
Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly with
all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, now
or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership, production, disposition, or
use of the Collateral, including all laws or regulations relating to the undue
erosion of highly-erodible land or relating to the conversion of wetlands for
the production of an agricultural product or commodity. Grantor may contest in
good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during
any proceeding,
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 3
================================================================================
including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the
Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental Laws or for the
generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal,
release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance. The
representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due
diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances.
Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims against Lender
for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for
cleanup or other costs under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses
resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This
obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and
the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability
coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with
respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis
reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will
deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of
insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that
coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10)
days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of
the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance
policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor
of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default
of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering
assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor
will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender
may require. If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any
insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including
if Lender so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only
Lender's interest in the Collateral.
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if
Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral,
Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse
Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or
restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the
Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay
all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any
proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their
receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration
of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium
due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If
fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The
reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the
payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to
Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (1)
the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the
policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the basis
of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that
value; and (6) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor
shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have
an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable,
the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC-1 financing
statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender's
security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor additionally agrees to
sign all other documents that are necessary to perfect, protect, and
continue Lender's security interest in the Property. Grantor will pay all
filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless
prohibited by law or unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and
costs. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender to execute financing statements
and documents of title in Grantor's name and to execute all documents
necessary to transfer title if there is a default. Lender may file a copy
of this Agreement as a financing statement. If Grantor changes Grantor's
name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security
interest under this Agreement changes, Grantor will promptly notify the
Lender of such change.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand (B)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower or Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any
other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement
or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
between Lender and Borrower or Grantor.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (Continued) PAGE 4
================================================================================
DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or
person that may materially affect any of Grantor's property or Borrower's
or any Grantor's ability to repay the Indebtedness or perform their
respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related
Documents.
FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor or on Borrower's or Grantor's
behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or
misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or
furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or
lien) at any time and for any reason.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's or Grantor's
existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor, the
appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's or Grantor's
property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower or Grantor.
CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor
or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the
Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's or
Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by
Borrower or Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim
which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if
Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender,
in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's or
Grantor's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment
or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same
provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it
may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Grantor,
after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default:
(1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure
requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which
Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the
default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and
necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably
practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower or
Grantor.
ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all
or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the
property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If
the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the
time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods,
provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor
after repossession.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease,
transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in
Lender's own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at
public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market,
Lender will give Grantor, and other persons as required by law, reasonable
notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which
any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made.
However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of
Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that
person's right to notification of sale. The requirements of reasonable
notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days before
the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the
disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses
of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the
Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this
Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate
from date of expenditure until repaid.
APPOINT RECEIVER. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed
to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to
protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding
foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and
apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against
the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.
Lender's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not
the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a
substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person
from serving as a receiver.
COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any
Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and receive
the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness
in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the
Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies,
instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender
may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for,
foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether
or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender
may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of
mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments
are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents
of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or
storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify
account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly
to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower for any deficiency
remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all
amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this
Agreement. Borrower shall be liable for a deficiency even if the
transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel
paper.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have
and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have
available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the
Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (Continued) PAGE 5
================================================================================
Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to
perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise
its remedies.
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT SECURITY. Grantor hereby grants a security interest to Lender
in any and all deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market or time) of
Grantor at Lender, now existing or hereinafter opened, to secure the
Indebtedness. This includes all deposit accounts Grantor holds jointly with
someone else.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:
AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,

amendment.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Grantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees
and Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement
of this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce
this Agreement, and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such
enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Lender may
also recover from Grantor all court, alternative dispute resolution or
other collection costs (including, without limitation, fees and charges of
collection agencies) actually incurred by Lender.
CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience

PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED, SUCH PROVISION

mean each and every Borrower. This means that each Borrower and Grantor
signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement. Where
any one or more of the parties is a corporation, partnership, limited

inquire into the powers of any of the officers, directors, partners,
members, or other agents acting or purporting to act on the entity's
behalf, and any obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Agreement.
NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights
under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by
Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute
a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by
Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender
in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may

change the party's address. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep
Lender informed at all times of Grantor's current address. Unless
otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Grantor,
any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to
all Grantors.
POWER OF ATTORNEY. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to
perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest granted in this
Agreement or to demand termination of filings of other secured parties.
Lender may at any time, and without further authorization from Grantor,
file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of any financing
statement or of this Agreement for use as a financing statement. Grantor
will reimburse Lender for all expenses for the perfection and the
continuation of the perfection of Lender's security interest in the
Collateral.
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the
offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal,
valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified,
it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise
required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any

successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of
forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from the obligations of
this Agreement or liability under the Indebtedness.
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations,
warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Agreement shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be continuing in
nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as

THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT dated February 7, 2002, is made and executed
among Statspin, Inc. ("Grantor"); International Remote Imaging Systems, Inc.
("Borrower"); and California Bank & Trust ("Lender").
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender
a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that
Lender shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means
the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which
Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this
Agreement:
ALL INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT, ACCOUNTS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL
HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLES), CHATTEL PAPER, INSTRUMENTS
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PROMISSORY NOTES), LETTER-OF-CREDIT
RIGHTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT, DOCUMENTS, DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, INVESTMENT
PROPERTY, MONEY, OTHER RIGHTS TO PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE, AND GENERAL

In addition, the word "Collateral" also includes all the following, whether now

Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will
not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the
extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In
addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a
notice of the right to cancel under Truth in Lending for the Indebtedness, then
Lender will not have a security interest in such Collateral unless and until
such a notice is given.

obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Borrower to
Lender, or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Lender against
Borrower or any one or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising,
whether related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or
otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or
undetermined, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated whether
Borrower or Grantor may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether
obligated as guarantor, surety, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether
recovery upon such amounts may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute
of limitations, and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or
hereafter may become otherwise unenforceable.
BORROWER'S WAIVERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Except as otherwise required under this
Agreement or by applicable law, (A) Borrower agrees that Lender need not tell
Borrower about any action or inaction Lender takes in connection with this
Agreement; (B) Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping
informed about the Collateral; and (C) Borrower waives any defenses that may
arise because of any action or inaction of Lender, including without limitation
any failure of Lender to realize upon the Collateral or any delay by Lender in
realizing upon the Collateral; and Borrower agrees to remain liable under the
Note no matter what action Lender takes or fails to take under this Agreement.
GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor warrants that: (A) this
Agreement is executed at Borrower's request and not at the request of Lender;
(B) Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to pledge the Collateral to Lender; (C) Grantor has established adequate
means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information about
Borrower's financial condition; and (D) Lender has made no representation to
Grantor about Borrower or Borrower's creditworthiness.
GRANTOR'S WAIVERS. Grantor waives all requirements of presentment, protest,
demand, and notice of dishonor or non-payment to Borrower or Grantor, or any
other party to the Indebtedness or the Collateral. Lender may do any of the
following with respect to any obligation of any Borrower, without first
obtaining the consent of Grantor: (A) grant any extension of time for any
payment, (B) grant any renewal, (C) permit any modification of payment terms or
other terms, or (D) exchange or release any Collateral or other security. No
such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 2
================================================================================
against Grantor or the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With
respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Grantor agrees to execute financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Lender to
perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will
note Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered
to Lender for possession by Lender. THIS IS A CONTINUING SECURITY
AGREEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE IN EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ALL OR ANY PART OF THE
INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL AND EVEN THOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
BORROWER MAY NOT BE INDEBTED TO LENDER.
NOTICES TO LENDER. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at
Lender's address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may
designate from time to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor's name;
(2) change in Grantor's assumed business name(s); (3) change in the
management of the Corporation Grantor; (4) change in the authorized
signer(s); (5) change in Grantor's principal office address; (6) change
in Grantor's state of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new
or different type of business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect
of Grantor that directly or indirectly relates to any agreements between
Grantor and Lender. No change in Grantor's name or state of organization
will take effect until after Lender has received notice.
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a
party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do
not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.
ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance
with its terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws
and regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral
have authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as
they appear to be on the Collateral. At the time any Account becomes
subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, the Account shall be
a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide
indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held
subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered
pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by
Grantor with or for the account debtor. So long as this Agreement
remains in effect, Grantor shall not, without Lender's prior written
consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with
regard to any such Accounts. There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims
against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made
under which any deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the
Collateral except those disclosed to Lender in writing.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the
Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general
intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address
shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon
Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to
Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating
to Grantor's operations, including without limitation the following: (1)
all real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property
Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Grantor owns,
rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is
or may be located.
REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's
business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior written
consent. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or
other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles
outside the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without Lender's prior
written consent. Grantor shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the
exact location of the Collateral.
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, or as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell,
or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While Grantor is not
in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in
the ordinary course of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a
buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course
of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in partial or total
satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge,
mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to
any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if
junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement.
Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the
Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and
shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this
requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other
disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such
proceeds to Lender.
TITLE. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good
and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing
statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office
other than those which reflect the security interest created by this
Agreement or to which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall
defend Lender's rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands
of all other persons.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to
cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair
and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect.
Grantor further agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or
services rendered or material furnished in connection with the
Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed
against the Collateral.
INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender and Lender's designated representatives
and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and
inspect the Collateral wherever located.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon
this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the
Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may
withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is
in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the
obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is
not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected
to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or
other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide
for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, attorneys' fees
or other charges that could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of
the Collateral. In any contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender
and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against
the Collateral. Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under
any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings. Grantor further
agrees to furnish Lender with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and
governmental and other charges have been paid in full and in a timely
manner. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest
any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate
proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's
interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral, including all laws or
regulations relating to the undue erosion of highly-erodible land or
relating to the conversion of wetlands for the production of an
agricultural product or commodity. Grantor may contest in good faith any
such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any
proceeding,
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 3
================================================================================
including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the
Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the
Collateral never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement
remains a lien on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental
Laws or for the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation,
treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
Substance. In addition, Grantor represents and warrants that the
Collateral does not contain urea formaldehyde foam insulation or urea
formaldehyde resin in violation of any Massachusetts state laws. The
representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's
due diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances.
Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims against Lender
for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for
cleanup or other costs under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses
resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This
obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness
and the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain
all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and
liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may
require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and
basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or
companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of
Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or
certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without
at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including
any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a
notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement
providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any
way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. In
connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is
offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss
payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any
time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this
Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such
insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses
"single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in
the Collateral.
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender
of any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss
if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or
reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or
restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the
Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to
pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any
proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their
receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration
of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium
due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid.
If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender.
The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the
payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to
Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
information as Lender may reasonably request including the following:
(1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of
the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the
basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining
that value; and (6) the expiration date of the policy. In addition,
Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than
annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender
determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the
Collateral.
FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC-1 financing
statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender's
security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor additionally agrees to sign all
other documents that are necessary to perfect, protect, and continue Lender's
security interest in the Property. Grantor will pay all filing fees, title
transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or
unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantor irrevocably
appoints Lender to execute financing statements and documents of title in
Grantor's name and to execute all documents necessary to transfer title if there
is a default. Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement.
If Grantor changes Grantor's name or address, or the name or address of any
person granting a security interest under this Agreement changes, Grantor will
promptly notify the Lender of such change.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in, addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower or Grantor fails to comply with or to perform
any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to
perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any
other
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 4
================================================================================
agreement between Lender and Borrower or Grantor.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor
default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement,
purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any
other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Grantor's
property or Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the
Indebtedness or perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor or on Borrower's or Grantor's
behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or
misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or
furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security
interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's or Grantor's
existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor,
the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's or Grantor's
property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower or Grantor.
CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor
or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the
Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's or
Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However,
this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute
by Borrower or Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim
which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if
Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond
for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by
Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for
the dispute.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's or
Grantor's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of
payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12)
months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if
Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of
such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if
the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates
steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to
cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable
and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to
pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower
or Grantor.
ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all
or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title
and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require
Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a
place to be designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to
enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the
Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this
Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take
such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to
return them to Grantor after repossession.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease,
transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in
Lender's own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at
public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Lender will give Grantor, and other persons as
required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition
of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be provided to
any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification
of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such
notice is given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or
disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral,
including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding,
insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a
part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable
on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until
repaid.
APPOINT RECEIVER. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with
the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the
Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from
the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral
exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any
Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and
receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the
same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the
Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.
Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles,
insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, chooses in action, or
similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle,
compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as
Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then
due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of
Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change
any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse
notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and
items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral. To
facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on
any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the
Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower for any
deficiency co remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after
application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights
provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall be liable for a deficiency
even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of
accounts or chattel paper.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall
have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have
available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 932900001-1 (CONTINUED) PAGE 5
================================================================================
ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement,
the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and
may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to
pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform,
shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its
remedies.
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT SECURITY. Grantor hereby grants a security interest to Lender
in any and all deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market or time) of
Grantor at Lender, now existing or hereinafter opened, to secure the
Indebtedness. This includes all deposit accounts Grantor holds jointly with
someone else.
WAIVERS AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are
a part of this Agreement:
AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment
to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
or amendment.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Grantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's attorneys' fees and
Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this
Agreement, and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such
enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and
legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services. Grantor also shall pay
all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the
court.
CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the
provisions of this Agreement.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL MATTERS RELATED
TO THE PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
AGAINST THE COLLATERAL, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT THE
ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS
CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY WHICHEVER
APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW WOULD UPHOLD OR WOULD ENFORCE SUCH
CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED PROVISION. THE LOAN TRANSACTION WHICH IS
EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE AND THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR,
CONSIDERED, APPROVED AND MADE, AND ALL NECESSARY LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE
BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Grantor agrees upon Lender's
request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Los Angeles
County, State of California.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. All obligations of Borrower and Grantor
under this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to
Grantor shall mean each and every Grantor, and all references to
Borrower shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each
Borrower and Grantor signing below is responsible for all obligations in
this Agreement. Where any one or more of the parties is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, it is not
necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of any of the officers,
directors, partners, members, or other agents acting or purporting to
act on the entity's behalf, and any obligations made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed
under this Agreement.
NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and
signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall
not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to
demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of
this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's
rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
sole discretion of Lender.
NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when
actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law),
when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class,
certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses
shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its
address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice
to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to
change the party's address. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep
Lender informed at all times of Grantor's current address. Unless
otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one
Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be
notice given to all Grantors.
POWER OF ATTORNEY. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's
irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents
necessary to perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest
granted in this Agreement or to demand termination of filings of other
secured parties. Lender may at any time, and without further
authorization from Grantor, file a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of any financing statement or of this Agreement for use as
a financing statement. Grantor will reimburse Lender for all expenses
for the perfection and the continuation of the perfection of Lender's
security interest in the Collateral.
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that
it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to any limitations stated in this
Agreement on transfer of Grantor's interest, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors
and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person
other than Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal with
Grantor's successors with reference to this Agreement and the
Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing
Grantor from the obligations of this Agreement or liability under the
Indebtedness.
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations,
warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Agreement shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be
continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until
such time as Borrower's Indebtedness shall be paid in full.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of
this Agreement.
WAIVE JURY. ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ANY
JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY
