MEMBER FDIC
SECURITY AND LOAN AGREEMENT
(ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND/OR INVENTORY)
This Agreement is entered into between IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, ET. AL.
(SEE EXHIBIT "A1" ATTACHED HERETO)
, A CORPORATIONS
(herein called "Borrower") and IMPERIAL BANK (herein called "Bank").
1. Bank hereby commits, subject to all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and prior to the termination of its commitment as hereinafter
provided, to make loans to Borrower from time to time in such amounts as
may be determined by Bank up to, but not exceeding in the aggregate unpaid
principal balance, the following Borrowing Base:
* % of Eligible Accounts
* % of the Value of Inventory
and in no event more than $1,000,000.00
2. The amount of each loan made by Bank to Borrower hereunder shall be
debited to the loan ledger account of Borrower maintained by Bank
(herein called "Loan Account") and Bank shall credit the Loan Account
with all loan repayments made by Borrower. Borrower promises to pay Bank
(a) the unpaid balance of Borrower's Loan Account on demand and (b) on
or before the tenth day of each month, interest on the average daily
unpaid balance of the Loan Account during the immediately preceding
month at the rate of THREE QUARTERS OF ONE percent (0.750%) per annum in
excess of the rate of interest which Bank has announced as its prime
lending rate ("Prime Rate") which shall vary concurrently with any
change in such Prime Rate. Interest shall be computed at the above rate
on the basis of the actual number of days during which the principal
balance of the loan account is outstanding divided by 360, which shall
for interest computation purposes be considered one year. Bank at its
option may demand payment of any or all of the amount due under the Loan
Account including accrued but unpaid interest at any time. Such notice
may be given verbally or in writing and should be effective upon receipt
by Borrower. The amount of interest payable each month by Borrower shall
not be less than a minimum monthly charge of $250.00. Bank is hereby
authorized to charge Borrower's deposit account(s) with Bank for all
sums due Bank under this Agreement.
3. Requests for loans hereunder shall be in writing duly executed by Borrower
in a form satisfactory to Bank and shall contain a certification setting
forth the matters referred to in Section 1, which shall disclose that
Borrower is entitled to the amount of loan being requested.
4. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
A. "Accounts" means any right to payment for goods sold or leased, or to
be sold or to be leased, or for services rendered or to be rendered no
matter how evidenced, including accounts receivable, contract rights,
chattel paper, instruments, purchase orders, notes, drafts,
acceptances, general intangibles and other forms of obligations and
receivables.
B. "Inventory" means all of the Borrower's goods, merchandise and other
personal property which are held for sale or lease, including those
held for display or demonstration or out on lease or consignment or to
be furnished under a contract of service or are raw materials, work in
process or materials used or consumed, or to be used or consumed in
Borrower's business, and shall include all property rights, patents,
plans, drawings, diagrams, schematics, assembly and display materials
relating thereto.
C. "Collateral" means any and all personal property of Borrower which is
assigned or hereafter is assigned to Bank as security or in which Bank
now has or hereafter acquires a security interest.
D. "Eligible Accounts" means all of Borrower's Accounts excluding,
however, (1) all Accounts under which payment is not received within
90 days from any invoice date, (2) all Accounts against which the
account debtor or any other person obligated to make payment thereon
asserts any defense, offset, counterclaim or other right to avoid or
reduce the liability represented by the Account and (3) any Accounts
if the account debtor or any other person liable in connection
therewith is insolvent, subject to bankruptcy or receivership
proceedings or has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
whose credit standing is unacceptable to Bank and Bank has so notified
Borrower. Eligible Accounts shall only include such accounts as Bank
in its sole discretion shall determine are eligible from time to time.
E. "Value of inventory" means the value of Borrower's Inventory
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied excluding, however, the amount of progress
payments, pre-delivery payments, deposits and any other sums received
by Borrower in anticipation of the sale and delivery of Inventory, all
Inventory on consignment or lease to others, and all property on
consignment or lease from others to Borrower.
5. Borrower hereby assigns to Bank all Borrower's present and future Accounts,
including all proceeds due thereunder, all guaranties and security therefor
and all merchandise giving rise thereto, and hereby grants to Bank a
continuing security interest in all Borrower's Inventory and in all
proceeds and products thereof, whether now owned or hereafter existing or
acquired, including all moneys in the Collateral Account referred to in
Section 6 hereof, as security for any and all obligations of Borrower to
Bank, whether now owing or hereafter incurred and whether direct, indirect,
absolute or contingent. So long as Borrower is indebted to Bank or Bank is
committed to extend credit to Borrower, Borrower will execute and deliver
to Bank such assignments, including Bank's standard forms of Specific or
General Assignment covering individual Accounts, notices, financing
statements, and other documents and papers as Bank may require in order to
affirm, effectuate or further assure the assignment to Bank of the
Collateral or to give any third party, including the account debtors
obligated on the Accounts, notice of Bank's interest in the Collateral.
6. Until Bank exercises its rights to collect the Accounts and Inventory
proceeds pursuant to paragraph 10, Borrower will collect with diligence all
Borrower's Accounts and Inventory proceeds, provided that no legal action
shall be maintained thereon or in connection therewith without Bank's prior
written consent. Any collection of Accounts or Inventory proceeds by
Borrower, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, or other instruments
for the payment of money (properly endorsed or assigned where required to
enable Bank to collect same), shall be in trust for Bank, and Borrower
shall keep all such collections separate and apart from all other funds
and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of Bank
and deliver said collections, together with the proceeds of all cash sales,
daily to Bank in the identical form received. The proceeds of such
collections when received by Bank may be applied by Bank directly to the
payment of Borrower's Loan Account or any other obligation secured hereby.
Any credit given by Bank upon receipt of said proceeds shall be conditional
credit subject to collection. Returned items at Bank's option may be
charged to Borrower's general account. All collections of the Accounts and
Inventory proceeds shall be set forth on an itemized schedule, showing the
name of the account debtor, the amount of each payment and such other
information as Bank may request.
7. Until Bank exercises its rights to collect the Accounts or Inventory
proceeds pursuant to paragraph 10, Borrower may continue its present
policies with respect to returned merchandise and adjustments. However,
Borrower shall immediately notify Bank of all cases involving returns,
repossessions, and loss or damage of or to merchandise represented by the
Accounts or constituting Inventory and of any credits, adjustments or
disputes arising in connection with the goods or services represented by
the Accounts or constituting Inventory and, in any of such events, Borrower
will immediately pay to Bank from its own funds (and not from the proceeds
of Accounts or Inventory) for application to Borrower's Loan Account or any
other obligation secured hereby the amount of any credit for such returned
or repossessed merchandise and adjustments made to any of the Accounts.
Until payment is made as provided herein or until release by Bank from its
security interest, all merchandise returned to or repossessed by Borrower
shall be set aside and identified as the property of Bank and Bank shall be
entitled to enter upon any premises where such merchandise is located and
take immediate possession thereof and remove same.
8. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank: (i) If Borrower is a corporation,
that Borrower is duly organized and existing in the State of its
incorporation and the execution, delivery and performance hereof are within
Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized and are not in

incorporation papers, or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to
which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is found or affected; (ii)
Borrower is, or at the time the collateral becomes subject to Bank's

therein; (iii) Each Account is, or at the time the Account comes into
existence will be, a true and correct statement of a bona fide indebtedness

the account debtor; (iv) That there are or will be no defenses,
counterclaims, or setoffs which may be asserted against the Accounts; and

9. Borrower will: (i) Furnish Bank from time to time such financial statements
and information as Bank may reasonably request and inform Bank immediately

periodically, in such form and detail and at such times as Bank may
require, statements showing aging and reconciliation of the Accounts and
collections thereon, and reports as to the Inventory and sales thereof;
(iii) Permit representatives of Bank to inspect the Inventory and

notify Bank of any attachment or other legal process levied against any of

Collateral, including the Accounts, the account debtors or other persons
obligated in connection therewith, which may in any way affect the value of
the Collateral or the rights and remedies of Bank in respect thereto; (v)
Reimburse Bank upon demand for any and all legal costs, including

Collateral and the preparation and enforcement of any agreement relating
thereto; (vi) Notify Bank of each location at which the Inventory is or
will be kept, other than for temporary processing, storage or similar

of Borrower at which records of Borrower relating to the Accounts are kept;
(vii) Provide, maintain and deliver to Bank policies insuring the
Collateral against loss or damage by such risks and in such amounts, forms
and companies as Bank may require and with loss payable solely to Bank,
and, in the event Bank takes possession of the Collateral, the insurance
policy or policies and any unearned or returned premium thereon shall at
the option of Bank become the sole property of Bank, such policies and the
proceeds of any other insurance covering or in any way relating to the
Collateral, whether now in existence or hereafter obtained, being hereby
assigned to Bank; (viii) Do all acts necessary to maintain, preserve and
protect all Inventory, keep all Inventory in good condition and repair and
not to cause any waste or unusual or unreasonable depreciation thereof, and
(ix) In the event the unpaid balance of Borrower's Loan Account shall
exceed the maximum amount of outstanding loans to which Borrower is
entitled under Section 1 hereof, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank,
from its own funds and not from the proceeds of Collateral, for credit to
Borrower's Loan Account the amount of such excess.
10. Bank may at any time, without prior notice to Borrower, collect the
Accounts and Inventory proceeds and may give notice of assignment to any
and all account debtors, and Borrower does hereby make, constitute and
appoint Bank its irrevocable, true and lawful attorney with power to

action, claim or proceeding with respect thereto; and to do any and all
things necessary and proper to carry out the purpose herein contemplated.
11. Until Borrower's Loan Account and all other obligations secured hereby
shall have been repaid in full, Borrower shall not sell, dispose of or
grant a security interest in any of the Collateral other than to Bank, or
execute any financing statements covering the Collateral in favor of any
secured party or person other than Bank.
12. Should: (i) Default be made in the payment of any obligation, or breach be
made in any warranty, statement, promise, term or condition, contained
herein or hereby secured; (ii) Any statement or representation made for the
purpose of obtaining credit hereunder prove false; (iii) Bank deem the
Collateral inadequate or unsafe or in danger of misuse; (iv) Borrower

Any proceeding be commenced by or against Borrower under any bankruptcy,

statute; then in any such event, Bank may, at its option and without demand
first made and without notice to Borrower, do any one or more of the
following: (a) Terminate its obligation to make loans to Borrower as
provided in Section 1 hereof; (b) Declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable; (c) Immediately take possession of the
Collateral wherever it may be found, using all necessary force so to do, or
require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank

or connected with any such taking; (d) Proceed in the foreclosure of Bank's
security interest and sale of the Collateral in any manner permitted by
law, or provided for herein; (e) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the

Exercise any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Prior to any such disposition, Bank may, at as option, cause any of the

extent as Bank may deem advisable, and any sums expended therefor by Bank
shall be repaid by Borrower and secured hereby. Bank shall have the right
to enforce one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently, and
any such action shall not estop or prevent Bank from pursuing any further
remedy which it may have hereunder or by law. If a sufficient sum is not
realized from any such disposition of Collateral to pay all obligations
secured by this Security Agreement, Borrower hereby promises and agrees to
pay Bank any deficiency.
13. If any writ of attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process be
issued against any property of Borrower, or if any assessment for taxes
against Borrower, other than real property, is made by the Federal or State
government or any department thereof, the obligation of Bank to make loans
to Borrower as provided in Section 1 hereof shall immediately terminate and
the unpaid balance of the Loan Account, all other obligations secured
hereby and all other sums due hereunder shall immediately become due and
payable without demand, presentment or notice.
14. Borrower authorizes Bank to destroy all invoices, delivery receipts,
reports and other types of documents and records submitted to Bank in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein at any time subsequent
to four months from the time such items are delivered to Bank.
15. Nothing herein shall in any way limit the effect of the conditions set
forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Borrower, but
each and every condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.
16. Should default be made in the payment of principal or interest when due, or
in the performance or observance, when due, of any item, covenant or
condition of this Agreement, any deed of trust, security agreement or other
agreement (including amendments or extensions thereof) securing or
pertaining to this Agreement, at the option of the holder hereof and
without notice or demand, the entire balance of principal and accrued
interest then remaining unpaid shall (a) become immediately due and
payable, and (b) thereafter bear interest, until paid in full, at the
increased rate of 5% per year in excess of the rate provided for above, as
it may vary from time to time.
17. If any installment payment, interest payment, principal payment or
principal balance payment due hereunder is delinquent twenty (20) or more
days, Borrower agrees to pay Bank a late charge in the amount of 5% of the
payment so due and unpaid, in addition to the payment; but nothing in this
paragraph is to be construed as any obligation on the part of the Bank to
accept payment of any payment past due or less than the total unpaid
principal balance after maturity.
All payments shall be applied first to any late charges owing, then to
interest and the remainder, if any, to principal.
18. Reference Provision.
A. Other than (i) non-judicial foreclosure and all matters in connection
therewith regarding security interests in real or personal property;
or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, or the exercise of other
provisional remedies (any and all of which may be initiated pursuant
to applicable law), each controversy, dispute or claim between the
parties arising out of or relating to this document ("Agreement"),
which controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing within
thirty (30) days after the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which
a party subject to the Agreement gives written notice to all other
parties that a controversy, dispute or claim exists), will be settled
by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the
provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil
Procedure, or their successor section ("CCP"), which shall constitute
the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any controversy, dispute or
claim concerning this Agreement, including whether such controversy,
dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and except as
set forth above, the parties waive their rights to initiate any
legal proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction
other than the Superior Court in the County where the Real Property,
if any, is located or Los Angeles County if none (the "Court"). The
referee shall be a retired Judge of the Court selected by mutual
agreement of the parties, and if they cannot so agree within
forty-five (45) days after the Claim Date, the referee shall be
promptly selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his
representative). The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary
judge, with all of the powers of a temporary judge, as authorized by
law, and upon selection should take and subscribe to the oath of
office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court
(or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party shall have one
peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP Section 170.6. The referee shall
(a) be requested to set the matter for hearing within sixty (60) days
after the Claim Date and (b) try any and all issues of law or fact and
report a statement of decision upon them, if possible, within ninety
(90) days of the Claim Date. Any decision rendered by the referee will
be final, binding and conclusive and judgment shall be entered
pursuant to CCP Section 644 in any court in the State of California
having jurisdiction. Any party may apply for a reference proceeding at
any time after thirty (30) days following notice to any other party of
the nature of the controversy, dispute or claim, by filing a petition
for a hearing and/or trial. All discovery permitted by this Agreement
shall be completed no later than fifteen (15) days before the first
hearing date established by the referee. The referee may extend such
period in the event of a party's refusal to provide requested
discovery for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation,
legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a
witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be entitled to
"priority" in conducting discovery. Depositions may be taken by either
party upon seven (7) days written notice, and request for production
or inspection of documents shall be responded to within ten (10) days
after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be
resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose
decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Pending
appointment of the referee as provided herein, the Superior Court is
empowered to issue temporary and/or provisional remedies, as
appropriate.
B. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall
determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted
including the time and place of all hearings, the order of
presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with
respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and
hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be
conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so
requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted
before the referee. The party making such a request shall have the
obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter. The costs of
the court reporter at the trial shall be borne equally by the parties.
C. The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance
with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of
California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in
the State of California will be applicable to the reference
proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well
as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies
and to enter equitable orders that will be binding upon the parties.
The referee shall issue a single judgment at the close of the
reference proceeding which shall dispose of all of the claims of the
parties that are the subject of the reference. The parties hereto
expressly reserve the right to contest or appeal from the final
judgment or any appealable order or appealable judgment entered by the
referee. The parties hereto expressly reserve the right to findings of
fact, conclusions of law, a written statement of decision, and the
right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new
trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this
provision.
D. In the event that the enabling legislation which provides for
appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is
enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be
determined by the reference procedure herein described will be
resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be
conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance with the
California Arbitration Act, Section 1280 through Section 1294.2 of the
CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to
discovery as set forth hereinabove shall apply to any such arbitration
proceeding.
19. Additional Provisions: *SEE ATTACHED (FOREIGN INSURED A/R LINE).

thereto and replacements therefor) is incorporated herein by this
reference.
