EXHIBIT 10.30
BRIDGE LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
VIRTUAL MORTGAGE NETWORK, INC.,
A NEVADA CORPORATION AND
_______________________________
This BRIDGE LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made this ___ day
of ____, 1997, by and between _______________________ (the "Investor" or
"Secured Party") and Virtual Mortgage Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Company", "Debtor", "Borrower" or "VMN"). The Investor and VMN are referred
to collectively herein as the "Parties."
In consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties contained in this agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
1. LOAN AMOUNT.
-----------
The Investor agrees to loan, on _________, 1997, to the Company the
aggregate principal amount of $__________ (the "Loan"). The Loan will be made
for the purpose of paying normal and reasonable operating expenses and obtaining
and paying for professional services in connection with the offering of
securities of VMN.
2. PROMISSORY NOTE.
---------------
In consideration thereof, VMN will issue, cause to be executed and
delivered to the Investor, upon the execution hereof, a promissory note in the
principal amount equal to the amount of the Loan, upon the terms and conditions
specified herein, and in the form set forth in Exhibit A, hereto (the "Note").
The Note is one of several notes of the Company sold to investors (collectively,
the "Investors") that collectively aggregate $5,500,000 (the "Notes") and are
equally secured by the security interest (i) granted by Section 8.1 of this
Agreement and Section 8.1 of the Company's other Bridge Loan and Security
Agreements, pursuant to which the Notes were issued or are to be issued and,
(ii) granted to American Growth Fund I, L.P. ("AGF") to secure up to $500,000 in
notes of the Company payable to AGF.
3. WARRANTS OF THE COMPANY.
-----------------------
VMN agrees to issue, convey and transfer, and cause to be issued,
conveyed and transferred to the Investor, Common Stock Purchase Warrants to
purchase shares of Company Common Stock.
1
The number of whole shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Warrants
accompanying an Investor's Note will be determined by using conventional
rounding and by dividing the principal amount of the Note by (i) if the IPO
occurs prior to March 6, 1997, the IPO price, or (ii) if the IPO occurs on or
after March 6, 1997, $4.00 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is
$0.001 per share of Common Stock, except that this price is adjustable in
certain circumstances as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. A registration
right is also included in the Warrant Agreement (Exhibit B hereto).
4. PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGES.
------------------------
The unpaid principal under the Note shall bear interest at a rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum simple interest. Upon the Company's failure to
pay amounts due on the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Note), the
interest rate on the Note shall increase to fifteen percent (15%) per annum, as
set forth in the Note.
5. PAYMENTS.
--------
5.1 VMN shall make payments of principal and accrued interest on the
Note to Investor upon the closing of a public offering of securities by VMN, as
set forth in the Note.
5.2 Except as otherwise set forth in the Note, the unpaid principal
under the Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be payable
upon the Maturity Date. If the Company has not repaid the principal amount
together with interest by the Maturity Date, the Company then agrees to repay
the principal amount together with accrued interest under the Note in equal
monthly payments of principal and interest at fifteen percent (15%) per annum
over a twelve (12) month period. The first installment of such payments of
principal and interest shall be due on April 6, 1997.
VMN may, from time to time, in it sole discretion, make one or more
periodic payments to the Investor. Such payments shall be credited to VMN's
account on the date that such payment is placed in the United States mail, first
class postage prepaid, by VMN. Such payments shall be applied first to accrued
and unpaid interest, and then to the principal amount then outstanding.
6. DEFAULT PROVISIONS.

a default as set forth in Section 6 above. Any reasonable attorneys' fees and

interest at the highest rate which may be collected from VMN under applicable
law. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the Investor to incur any
expense or take any action.
7
8.8 INSPECTION.

without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of VMN or its successors or
assigns or of any other lienholder or guarantors, without liability on the
Investor's part, and notwithstanding VMN's breach of any covenant or agreement
of VMN in this Agreement, extend the time for payment of said indebtedness or
any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of
said indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor, modify the terms and
the time of payment of said indebtedness, release from the lien of this
Agreement any part of the Collateral, take or release other or additional
security, reconvey any part of the Collateral, consent to any plan of the
Collateral, join in any extension or subordination agreement, and agree in
writing with VMN to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the

obligation of VMN or VMN successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this
Agreement and to observe the covenants of VMN contained herein, shall not affect
the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership, or other entity for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and shall not affect the lien or
priority of lien hereof on the Collateral. VMN shall pay the Investor a
reasonable service charge, together with such reasonable attorneys' fees as may
be incurred at the Investor's option for any such action if taken at VMN's
request.
8.10 FORBEARANCE BY THE INVESTOR NOT A WAIVER.
----------------------------------------
Any forbearance by the Investor in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver
of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by the
Investor of payment of any sum secured by this Agreement after the due date of
such payment shall not be a waiver of the Investor's right to either require
prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for
failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of
taxes, rents or other liens or charges by the Investor shall not be a waiver of
the Investor's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by
this Agreement, nor shall the Investor's receipt of any awards, proceeds or
damages as provided in this Agreement operate to cure or waive VMN default in
payment of sums secured by this Agreement.
8
8.11 UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT.
------------------------------------------
This Agreement is intended to be a security agreement pursuant
to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified above as part of
the Collateral which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security
interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and VMN hereby grants the
Investors, collectively, a security interest in said items. VMN agrees to
execute and file financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals and
amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Agreement, and do whatever may be
necessary under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code in the state where the
Collateral is located, to perfect and continue the Investors' interest in the
Collateral, all at VMN's expense. The parties agree that such financing
statements, extensions and renewals may be filed in the name of the Investor and
all other holders of the Notes and AGF, collectively. VMN also agrees that the
Investor may file on behalf of the Investors any appropriate document in the
appropriate index as a financing statement for any of the items specified above
as part of the Collateral. VMN shall pay all costs of filing such financing
statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and releases thereof, and
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing
statements the Investor may reasonably require. Without the prior written
consent of the Investor, VMN shall not create or allow to be created, pursuant
to the Uniform Commercial Code, any other security interest in the Collateral
(other than AGF), including replacements and additions thereto. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, Investor shall have the remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at the Investor's option, may also
invoke the other remedies provided in this Agreement as to such items. In
exercising any of said remedies, the Investor may proceed against the items of
real property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the
Collateral separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any
way affecting the availability of the Investor's remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code or of the other remedies provided in this Agreement.
8.12 RIGHTS OF THE INVESTOR.
----------------------
8.12.1 Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of
default the Investor may require VMN to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Investor at the place to be designated by the Investor which is
reasonably convenient to both parties. The Investor may sell all or any part of
the Collateral as reasonably necessary to satisfy VMN's obligations hereunder to
Investor, as a whole or in parcels wither by public auction, private sale, or
any other reasonable method of disposition. Nothing in this Section 8.12.1 shall
be construed to limit any other of Investor's rights in connection with any and
all of the Collateral as provided herein. The Investor may bid at any public
sale on all or any portion of the Collateral.
9
Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to rapidly decline in value or
is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Investor shall give
VMN reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time
after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be
made, and notice given at least 10 days before the time of the sale or other
disposition shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable. A public sale in
the following fashion shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable:
8.12.2 Notice shall be given at least 10 days before the date of
sale by mail to VMN and publication once in a newspaper of general circulation
published in the county in which the sale is to be held;
8.12.3 The sale shall be held in a county in which the Collateral or
any part is located or in a county in which VMN has a place of business;
8.12.4 Payment shall be in cash or by certified check immediately
following the close of the sale;
8.12.5 The sale shall be by auction, but it need not be by a
professional auctioneer; and
8.12.6 The Collateral may be sold as is and without any preparation
for sale.
8.13 OBLIGATION TO SELL COLLATERAL.
-----------------------------
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Investor shall be
under no obligation to offer to sell the Collateral. In the event any Investor
offers to sell the Collateral, there will be no obligation to consummate a sale
of the Collateral if, in Investor's reasonable business judgment, none of the
offers received by it reasonably approximates the fair value of the Collateral.
In the event the Investor elects not to sell the Collateral, Investor may elect
to follow the procedures set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code for retaining
the Collateral in satisfaction of VMN's obligation, subject to VMN's rights
under such procedures.
8.14 RECEIVER.
--------
In addition to the rights under this Agreement, upon the occurrence
and continuance of an event of default by VMN, the Investor shall be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral as a matter of right whether or
not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the outstanding principal
amount of the Note.
10
8.15 WAIVER OF MARSHALING.
--------------------
Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in
the Collateral held by the Investor or by any other party, the Investor shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Collateral
shall be subjected to the remedies provided by this Agreement. The Investor
shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
indebtedness secured by this Agreement are satisfied from the proceeds realized
upon the exercise of the remedies provided in this Agreement. VMN, any party who
consents to this Agreement, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a
security interest in the Collateral and who has actual or constructive notice of
this Agreement, hereby waive any and all rights to require the marshaling of
assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by
applicable law or by this Agreement.
9. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
-------------------
Each remedy provided in this Agreement is distinct and cumulative to
all other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity,
and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order.
10. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
--------------------------------
VMN hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a
bar to the enforcement of this Agreement or to any action brought to enforce the
Note or any other obligation secured by this Agreement.
11. NOTICES AND DELIVERY.

12. INDEMNIFICATION.
---------------
12.1 GENERAL.
-------
Each party at fault hereto agrees to indemnify, reimburse, and
hold harmless the other party, (the "indemnitee") from and against all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, causes of action, civil
and criminal proceedings, penalties, fines, and other sanctions, and any
reasonable attorney fees and other reasonable costs and expenses, arising or
imposed on such other party (collectively "claims"), relating to or arising in
any manner out of:
12.1.1 this Agreement or the breach of any representation,
warranty, or covenant made by the party at fault under this Agreement; or
12.1.2 any issuance, offering, or sale of securities of VMN;
or
12.1.3 any transaction, approval, or document contemplated by
the Agreement.
The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide for
indemnification in excess of that expressly provided for by statute, including
but not limited to, any indemnification provided by VMN's articles of
incorporation, its bylaws, a vote of its shareholders or disinterested
directors, or applicable law.
12.2 DEFINITIONS.
-----------
12.2.1 EXPENSES. For purposes of Section 12, the term
"expenses" shall mean (i) any expense, liability, or loss, including reasonable
attorney fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement; (ii) any interest, assessments, or other
charges imposed on any of the items in part (i) of this subsection; and (iii)
any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or
deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement paid or incurred in
connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in
(including on
12
appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in any proceeding relating to any
indemnifiable event.
12.3 MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding any other provision
-------------------------
of this Agreement, to the extent that the indemnitee has been successful on the
merits in defense of any proceeding relating in whole or in part to an
indemnifiable event or in defense of any issue or matter in such proceeding, the
indemnitee shall be indemnified against all reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with such whole or part, as the case may be.
12.4 PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If the indemnitee is entitled under
-----------------------
any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by a party for a portion of
expenses, but not for the total amount of expenses, that party shall indemnify
the indemnitee for the portion to which the indemnitee is entitled.
12.5 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT. The indemnitee shall receive
-----------------------
indemnification of expenses in accordance with this Agreement as soon as
practicable after the indemnitee has made written demand for indemnification.
If the indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days after
making a demand in accordance with the terms hereof, the indemnitee shall have
the right to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by
commencing arbitration per the terms of this Agreement seeking an initial
determination. The parties hereby consent to service of process and to appear
in any such proceeding. The remedy provided for in this Section shall be in
addition to any other remedies available to the indemnitee in law or equity.
12.6 CONSENT. A party shall not settle any proceeding in any manner
-------
that would impose any penalty or limitation on the indemnitee without the
indemnitee's written consent. Neither party will unreasonably withhold their
consent to any proposed settlement. A party at fault shall not be liable to
indemnify the indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award
if the party at fault was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its
expense, to participate in the defense of such action; however, the party's
liability under this Agreement shall not be excused if participation in the
proceeding by the party was barred by this Agreement.
12.7 DEFENSE. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out
-------
of this Agreement or the breach of the Agreement for which indemnification is
available, the indemnitee may tender a defense to the party at fault, who hereby
agrees to promptly evaluate such defense. If the party at fault agrees to
defend against such controversy or claim, the indemnitee shall notify the party
at fault within thirty (30) days of the indemnitee's receipt of any written
instrument or pleading relating to any such controversy or claim arising out of
this Agreement or the
13
breach of this Agreement. If timely acceptance of tender is not forthcoming,
the indemnitee may, at the expense of the party at fault, retain its own counsel
and the party at fault is not released of its obligations to otherwise indemnify
the indemnitee.
