(a California corporation) (“Northgate”) each, of HIP-E and Northgate, being an Eligible Subsidiary.

BACKGROUND

Company has requested that Laurus make advances available to Company; and

Laurus has agreed to make such advances to Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings and the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. (a) General Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Annex A.

(b) Accounting Terms. Any accounting terms used in this Agreement which are not specifically defined shall have the meanings customarily given them in accordance with GAAP and all financial computations shall be computed, unless specifically provided herein, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(c) Other Terms. All other terms used in this Agreement and defined in the UCC, shall have the meaning given therein unless otherwise defined herein.

(d) Rules of Construction. All Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits hereto or expressly identified to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and taken together with this Agreement constitute but a single agreement. The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” or other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits, Addenda, Annexes and Schedules thereto, as the same may be from time to time amended, modified, restated or supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. The term “or” is not exclusive. The term “including” (or any form thereof) shall not be limiting or exclusive. All references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations. All references in this Agreement or in the Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits to this Agreement to sections, schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments shall refer to the corresponding sections, schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments of or to this Agreement. All references to any instruments or agreements, including references to any of this Agreement or

the Ancillary Agreements shall include any and all modifications or amendments thereto and any and all extensions or renewals thereof.

2. Loans. (a)(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, Laurus agrees to make loans (the “Loans”) to Company from time to time during the Term which, in the aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability plus (II) the Inventory Availability. The amount derived at any time from Section 2(a)(i)(I) plus Section 2(a)(i)(II) shall be referred to as the “Formula Amount”. Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus on the Closing Date a Minimum Borrowing Note and a Revolving Note evidencing the Loans funded on the Closing Date. From time to time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus immediately prior to the final funding of each additional $2,750,000 tranche of Loans allocated to any Minimum Borrowing Note issued by Company to Laurus after the date hereof (calculated on a cumulative basis for each such tranche) an additional Minimum Borrowing Note evidencing such tranche, substantially in the form of the Minimum Borrowing Note delivered by Company to Laurus on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever during the Term the outstanding balance on the Revolving Note should equal or exceed $1,500,000, to the extent that the outstanding balance on the Minimum Borrowing Note shall be less than $2,750,000 (the difference of $2,750,000 less the actual balance of the Minimum Borrowing Note, the “Available Minimum Borrowing”), such portion of the balance of the Revolving Note that is in excess of $1,500,000, up to an amount equal the Available Minimum Borrowing shall be deemed to be simultaneously extinguished on the Revolving Note and transferred to, and evidenced by, a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note. Any such transfer shall be limited to an amount that, after such transfer, leaves an outstanding balance under the Revolving Note of at least $1,500,000.

(ii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, if requested by Company, Laurus retains the right to lend to Company from time to time such amounts in excess of such limitations as Laurus may determine in its sole discretion.

(iii) Company acknowledges that the exercise of Laurus’ discretionary rights, exercised reasonably, hereunder may result during the Term in one or more increases or decreases in the advance percentages used in determining Accounts Availability and/or Inventory Availability and Company hereby consents to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by Company.

(iv) If Company does not pay any interest, fees, costs or charges due to Laurus under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement when due (after giving effect to any cure or grace periods applicable thereto), Company shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby authorized at its discretion to make and charge to Company’s account, a Loan to Company as of such date in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges.

(v) If Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (after giving effect to any cure or grace periods applicable thereto), Laurus may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Company (or, at Laurus’ option, in Laurus’ name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem

necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors, lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments). The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to Company’s account as a Loan and added to the Obligations. To facilitate Laurus’ performance or observance of such covenants of Company, Company hereby irrevocably appoints Laurus, or Laurus’ delegate, acting alone, as Company’s attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Company any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Company.

(vi) Laurus will account to Company monthly with a statement of all Loans and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Laurus shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is notified by Company in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was rendered specifying the item or items to which objection is made.

(vii) During the Term, Company may borrow and prepay Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(viii) If any Eligible Account is not paid by the Account Debtor within ninety (90) days after the date that such Eligible Account was invoiced or if any Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any Eligible Account (a “Delinquent Account”), Company shall (i) reimburse Laurus (X) for the amount of the Loans made with respect to such portion of such Delinquent Account that is not paid within such time or, in the case of the assertion of a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off or counterclaim by an Account Debtor, such portion of such Delinquent Account that such Account Debtor has not confirmed its intention to pay, plus, (Y) in either case, an adjustment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the amount determined in clause (X) or (ii) immediately replace such Delinquent Account, or portion thereof, with an otherwise Eligible Account.

(b) Minimum Borrowing Amount. After a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective by the SEC, conversions of the Minimum Borrowing Amount into the Common Stock of Company may be initiated as set forth in the respective Minimum Borrowing Note. From and after the date upon which the outstanding principal of the Minimum Borrowing Amount (as evidenced by the first Minimum Borrowing Note) is converted into Common Stock (the “First Conversion Date”), (i) amounts of all outstanding Loans (not attributable to the then outstanding Minimum Borrowing Note) existing on or made after the First Conversion Date corresponding to, and in amounts equal to, the principal amounts of the Minimum Borrowing Note that have been converted will be aggregated, as described in Section 2(a)(i) and subject to

the condition that no transfers or aggregations may be made out of the Revolving Note in any amount that would cause the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note to be less that $1,500,000, until they reach the sum of $2,750,000 and (ii) Company will, at the time of such aggregation reaches the sum of $2,750,000, issue a new (serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note to Laurus in respect of such $2,750,000 aggregation, and (iii) Company shall prepare and file a subsequent registration statement with the SEC to register such subsequent Minimum Borrowing Note as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to issue more than two serialized Minimum Borrowing Notes without the Company’s prior written consent.

3. Repayment of the Loans. Company (a) may prepay the Obligations from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 17 hereof if such prepayment is due to a termination of this Agreement); (b) shall repay on the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans made by Laurus to Company hereunder together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges and (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; and (c) shall, either repay upon demand the amount by which the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the Formula Amount or such overage shall be deemed an Overadvance (as defined below subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(iii) hereof). Any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall be made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds.

4. Procedure for Loans. Company may by written notice request a borrowing of Loans prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on the next Business Day, a Loan. Together with each request for a Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus may request), Company shall deliver to Laurus a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit A, which shall be certified as true and correct by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Company together with all supporting documentation relating thereto. All Loans shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Laurus may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Company’s account on Laurus’ books. The proceeds of each Loan made by Laurus shall be made available to Company on the Business Day following the Business Day so requested in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to Company’s operating account maintained with such bank as Company may designate from time to time to Laurus. Any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder may be charged to Company’s account and shall constitute Loans.

5. Interest and Payments.

(a) Interest.

(i) Except as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, interest on the unpaid balance of the Loans shall accrue at the Contract Rate and Company shall pay such interest in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America, as set forth in the Notes.

(ii) Interest and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At Laurus’ option, Laurus may charge Company’s account for said interest.

(iii) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall automatically be increased as set forth in the Notes, respectively, (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest to the extent due, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(iv) In no event shall the aggregate interest or any other amount constituting interest under applicable law payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the “Maximum Legal Rate”) and if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate).

(v) Company shall pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.

(b) Payments; Certain Closing Conditions.

(i) Closing/Annual Payments. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Company and Laurus, Company shall pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC a closing payment in an amount equal to three and nine-tenths percent (3.90%) of the Capital Availability Amount. Such payment shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be subject to rebate or proration for any reason.

(ii) Unused Line Payment. If, during any calendar month, the average of the aggregate Loans outstanding during such month (the “Average Loan Amount”) do not equal the Capital Availability Amount, Company shall pay to Laurus at the end of such month a payment (calculated on a per annum basis) in an amount equal to three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) of the amount by which the Capital Availability Amount exceeds the Average Loan Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such due and unpaid fee shall come immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement.

(iii) Overadvance Payment. Without affecting Laurus’ rights hereunder in the event the Loans exceed the Formula Amount (each such event, an “Overadvance”), all such Overadvances shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of such Overadvances for each month or portion thereof such amounts shall be outstanding and in excess of the Formula Amount.

(iv) Financial Information Default. Without affecting Laurus’ other rights and remedies, in the event Company fails to deliver the financial information required by Section 11 on or before the date required by this Agreement, Company shall pay Laurus a fee in the amount of $500.00 per week for each such failure until such failure is cured to Laurus’ reasonable satisfaction or waived in writing by Laurus. Such fee shall be charged to Company’s account upon the occurrence of each such failure.

(v) Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Laurus for its reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as hereinafter defined), and expenses incurred in connection with Laurus’ due diligence review of the Company and its subsidiaries and all related matters. Amounts required to be paid under this Section 5(b)(v) will be paid on the Closing Date and shall not exceed $44,500 for such expenses referred to in this Section 5(b)(v).

6. Security Interest.

(a) To secure the prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Laurus a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral. All of Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s Books and Records relating to the Collateral shall, until delivered to or removed by Laurus, be kept by Company and each Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have been paid in full. Each confirmatory assignment schedule or other form of assignment hereafter executed by Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall be deemed to include the foregoing grant, whether or not the same appears therein.

(b) Company and each Eligible Subsidiary hereby (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto that (x) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets and personal property of Company or such Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (y) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Laurus to have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Laurus and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Laurus, subject to Company’s and such Eligible Subsidiary’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Collateral. Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary hereby, as of the date hereof, represents, warrants (each of which such representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated upon the making of each request for a Loan and made as of the time of each and every Loan hereunder) and covenants as follows:

(f) each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall defend the right, title and interest of Laurus in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, and take such actions, including (i) all actions necessary to grant Laurus “control” of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or electronic Chattel Paper owned by Company and each Eligible Subsidiary, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, (ii) the prompt (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following Laurus’ request therefor) delivery to Laurus of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper, negotiable Documents and certificated Stock owned by Company and each Eligible Subsidiary (in each case, accompanied by stock powers, allonges or other instruments of transfer executed in blank), (iii) notification of Laurus’ interest in Collateral at Laurus’ request, and (iv) the institution of litigation against third parties as shall be prudent in order to protect and preserve Company’s, each Eligible Subsidiary’s and/or Laurus’ respective and several interests in the Collateral.

(j) each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall perform in a reasonable time all other steps requested by Laurus to create and maintain in Laurus’ favor a valid perfected first Lien in all Collateral subject only to Permitted Liens.

(k) each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall notify Laurus promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof (i) of any event or circumstance that to Company’s or any Eligible Subsidiary’s knowledge would cause Laurus to consider any then existing Account and/or Inventory as no longer constituting an Eligible Account or Eligible Inventory, as the case may be; (ii) of any material delay in Company’s or any Eligible Subsidiary’s performance of any of its obligations to any Account Debtor; (iii) of any assertion by any Account Debtor of any material claims, offsets or counterclaims; (iv) of any material allowances, credits and/or monies granted by Company or any Eligible Subsidiary to any Account Debtor; (v) of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of an Account Debtor; (vi) of any material return of goods; and (vii) of any material loss, damage or destruction of any of the Collateral.

(l) All Eligible Accounts (i) which are billed on a construction completion basis but not payable until the project is completed, represent complete bona fide transactions which require no further act under any circumstances on Company’s or any Eligible Subsidiary’s part to make such Accounts payable by the Account Debtors, (ii) are not subject to any present, future contingent offsets or counterclaims, and (iii) do not represent ▇▇▇▇ and hold sales, consignment sales, guaranteed sales, sale or return or other similar understandings or obligations of any Affiliate or subsidiary of either Company or any Eligible Subsidiary. Neither Company nor any Eligible Subsidiary has made, and neither Company nor any Eligible Subsidiary will make, any agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the payment of any Account, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any release of any Account Debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except a discount or allowance for prompt or early payment allowed by Company or any Eligible Subsidiary in the ordinary course of its business consistent with historical practice and as previously disclosed to Laurus in writing.

(m) each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and shall make all necessary repairs and replacements thereof so that the value and operating efficiency shall at all times be maintained and preserved. Neither Company nor any Eligible Subsidiary shall permit

any such items to become a Fixture to real estate or accessions to other personal property not constituting Collateral.

(o) each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall maintain and keep the tangible Collateral at the addresses listed in Schedule 12(bb), provided, that each of Company and/or any such Eligible Subsidiary may change such locations or open a new location, provided that Company or any such Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, provides Laurus at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such changes or new location and (ii) prior to such change or opening of a new location where Collateral having a value of more than $50,000 will be located, Company and/or any such Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, executes and delivers to Laurus such agreements as Laurus may request, including landlord agreements, mortgagee agreements and warehouse agreements, each in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus.

On or prior to the Closing Date, each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and deposit all checks received therein to an account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account of Company or any Eligible Subsidiary or any other

amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, Company or any Eligible Subsidiary receives any payments of any Account or any other property constituting Collateral, Company or such Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall promptly remit such payments to Laurus in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property.

(b) At Laurus’ election, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Laurus may notify each of Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s Account Debtors of Laurus’ security interest in the Accounts, collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses thereof to Company’s and the Eligible Subsidiaries joint and several account.

9. Collection and Maintenance of Collateral.

(a) Laurus may verify Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s Accounts from time to time, but not more often than once every three (3) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, utilizing an audit control company or any other agent of Laurus.

(b) Proceeds of Accounts received by Laurus will be deemed received on the Business Day after Laurus’ receipt of such proceeds in good funds in dollars of the United States of America in Laurus’ account. Any amount received by Laurus after 12:00 noon (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(c) As Laurus receives the proceeds of Accounts of Company or any Eligible Subsidiary, it shall (i) apply such proceeds, as required, to amounts outstanding under the Revolving Note, and (ii) remit all such remaining proceeds (net of interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to Laurus hereunder) to Company and/or any such Eligible Subsidiary upon request (but no more often than twice a week). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus, at its option, may (a) apply such proceeds to the Obligations in such order as Laurus shall elect, (b) hold all such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations and each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary hereby grants to Laurus a security interest in such cash collateral amounts as security for the Obligations and/or (c) do any combination of the foregoing.

10. Inspections and Appraisals. At all times during normal business hours, and upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary, as applicable, Laurus, and/or any agent of Laurus shall have the right to (a) have access to, visit, inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verification and appraisals of each of Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s properties and the Collateral, (b) inspect, audit and copy (or take originals if necessary) and make extracts from Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s Books and Records, including management letters prepared by independent accountants, and (c) discuss with Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s principal officers, and independent accountants, Company’s and each Eligible Subsidiary’s business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary will

deliver to Laurus any instrument necessary for Laurus to obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for Company and such Eligible Subsidiary. If any internally prepared financial information, including that required under this Section is unsatisfactory in any manner to Laurus, Laurus may request that the Accountants review the same.

After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 608(a)(1) of the Code (but only after Laurus has received what Laurus considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Company, such Eligible Subsidiary or its representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall remain jointly and severally liable to Laurus for any deficiency. In addition, each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall pay Laurus a liquidation fee (“Liquidation Fee”) in the amount of five percent (5%) of the actual amount collected in respect of each Account outstanding at any time during a “liquidation period”. For purposes hereof, “liquidation period” means a period: (i) beginning on the earliest date of (x) an event referred to in Section 19(i) or 19(j), or (y) the cessation of Company’s or any such Eligible Subsidiary’s business; and (ii) ending on the date on which Laurus has actually received all Obligations due and owing it under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Liquidation Fee shall be paid on the date on which Laurus collects the applicable Account by deduction from the proceeds thereof Company and Laurus acknowledge that the actual damages that would be incurred by Laurus after the occurrence of an Event of Default would be difficult to quantify and that Company and Laurus have agreed that the fees and obligations set forth in this Section and in this Agreement would constitute fair and appropriate liquidated damages in the event of any such termination.

21. Waivers. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary hereby waives (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of this Agreement and the

Ancillary Agreements or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Laurus on which Company or any such Eligible Subsidiary may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Laurus’ taking possession or control of, or to Laurus’ replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Laurus to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

22. Expenses. Company shall pay all of Laurus’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements subject to Section 5(v) above, and in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Company shall also pay all of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) Laurus’ obtaining performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, Company’s Obligations hereunder and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. Company shall also pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries at Company’s or such Eligible Subsidiary’s request or in connection with Company’s loan account with Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and interest payable by Company to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between Company and/or any Eligible Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Laurus on the other hand, which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay, Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and Company will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to Company’s account; and until Company shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to Company’s credit and Laurus shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral.

23. Assignment By Laurus. Laurus may assign, with the prior written consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), any or all of the Obligations together with any or all of the security therefor to any Person and any such transferee shall succeed to all of Laurus’ rights with respect thereto. Upon such transfer, Laurus shall be

released from all responsibility for the Collateral to the extent same is assigned to any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as Laurus with respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant. Company agrees that each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though Company were directly indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation.

24. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any other agreement between Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. Laurus’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Laurus may have.

25. Application of Payments. Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on Company’s behalf and Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus’ books and records.

26. Indemnity. Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus, and its respective affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

27. Revival. Company further agrees that to the extent Company makes a payment or payments to Laurus, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

28. Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Company or Laurus at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail or telecopy (confirmed by mail).
