operations, unless specifically consented to the contrary by Lender in
writing.

indebtedness and obligations, including without limitation all assessments,
taxes, governmental charges, levies and liens, of every kind and nature,
imposed upon Borrower or its properties, income, or profits, prior to the
date on which penalties would attach, and all lawful claims that, if
unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of Borrower's properties,
income, or profits.
PERFORMANCE. Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all terms,
conditions, and provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Related
Documents, and in all other instruments and agreements between Borrower and

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Comply with all laws,
ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all
governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower's
properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the
Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities
Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or
regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including
appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing
prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's
interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require
Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.
5
INSPECTION. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to
inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's other
properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and records
and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books, accounts, and
records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records
(including without limitation computer generated records and computer
software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of
a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to
permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to
provide Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower's
expense.
CHANGE OF LOCATION. Immediately notify Lender in writing of any additions
to or changes in the location of Borrower's businesses.
TITLE TO ASSETS AND PROPERTY. Maintain good and marketable title to all of
Borrower's assets and properties.
NOTICE OF DEFAULT, LITIGATION AND ERISA MATTERS. Forthwith upon learning of
the occurrence of any of the following, Borrower shall provide Lender with
written notice thereof, describing the same and the steps being taken by
Borrower with respect thereto: (1) the occurrence of any Event of Default,
or (2) the institution of, or any adverse determination in, any litigation,
arbitration proceeding or governmental proceeding, or (3) the occurrence of
a Reportable Event under, or the institution of steps by Borrower to
withdraw from, or the institution of any steps to terminate, any employee
benefit plan as to which Borrower may have any liability.
OTHER INFORMATION. From time to time Borrower will provide Lender with such
other information as Lender may reasonably request.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. So long as this Agreement remains in effect,
Borrower will maintain each employee benefit plan as to which Borrower may
have any liability, in compliance with all applicable requirements of law
and regulations.
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES. Unless waived in writing by Lender, provide Lender
within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, with a
certificate executed by Borrower's chief financial officer, or other
officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the
date of the certificate and further certifying that, as of the date of the
certificate, no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REPORTS. Borrower shall comply in all respects
with any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to exist, as a
result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower's
part or on the part of any third party, on property owned and/or occupied
by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to the
environment, unless such environmental activity is pursuant to and in
compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate
federal, state or local governmental authorities; shall furnish to Lender
promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a
copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other

any intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower's part in
connection with any environmental activity whether or not there is damage
to the environment and/or other natural resources.
ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory
notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments,
financing statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender
or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans
and to perfect all Security Interests.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Borrower'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 any Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any 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 Borrower. 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.
NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:
INDEBTEDNESS AND LIENS. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal
course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this
Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money,
including capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge,
lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's assets
(except as allowed as Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of
Borrower's accounts, except to Lender.
NO ADDITIONAL BORROWING. There shall be no additional borrowing, without
prior written consent from the Lender.
CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS. (1) Engage in any business activities
substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged,
(2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate
with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell
Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends
on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided,
however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of
dividends, if Borrower is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends
on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to
enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax
payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which
arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S
Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or
purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend
Borrower's capital structure.
LOANS, ACQUISITIONS AND GUARANTIES. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or
assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2) purchase, create or
acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any

business.
AGREEMENTS. Borrower will not enter into any agreement containing any
provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of
Borrower's obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.
6
CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes
incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar
proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any
Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any
Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such
Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender.
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
Loan.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower 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.
DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Borrower or any Grantor defaults 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 Borrower's or any Grantor's property or
Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the Loans 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 on Borrower's behalf, or made by
Guarantor, under this Agreement or the Related Documents in connection with
the obtaining of the Loan evidenced by the Note or any security document
directly or indirectly securing repayment of the Note 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.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Borrower'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.
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.
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 by any
governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes
a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts,
with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a
good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the
claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if
Borrower 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.
EXECUTION; ATTACHMENT. Any execution or attachment is levied against the
Collateral, and such execution or attachment is not set aside, discharged
or stayed within thirty (30) days after the same is levied.
CHANGE IN ZONING OR PUBLIC RESTRICTION. Any change in any zoning ordinance
or regulation or any other public restriction is enacted, adopted or
implemented, that limits or defines the uses which may be made of the
Collateral such that the present or intended use of the Collateral, as
specified in the Related Documents, would be in violation of such zoning
ordinance or regulation or public restriction, as changed.
DEFAULT UNDER OTHER LIEN DOCUMENTS. A default occurs under any other
mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement covering all or any portion
of the Collateral.
JUDGMENT. Unless adequately covered by insurance in the opinion of Lender,
the entry of a final judgment for the payment of money involving more than
ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) against Borrower and the failure by
Borrower to discharge the same, or cause it to be discharged, or bonded off
to Lender's satisfaction, within thirty (30) days from the date of the
order, decree or process under which or pursuant to which such judgment was
entered.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event of a death, Lender,
at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's
estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty
in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of
Default.
CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. Any change in ownership of the common stock of
Borrower without prior written consent from the Lender.
INTER-COMPANY LOAN. There shall not be any inter-company loans to
subsidiaries or related companies without prior written consent from the
Lender.
ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Loan is impaired.
RIGHT TO CURE. If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given
a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it
may be cured if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving
written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cure the
default within ten (10) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than ten
(10) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole
discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and
complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce
compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any
kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency"
7
subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In
addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related
Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be
prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies 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
Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default
and to exercise its rights and remedies.
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall provide Lender with the following
additional documents:
CORPORATE RESOLUTION. Borrower has provided or will provide Lender with a
certified copy of resolutions properly adopted by Borrower's Board of
Directors, and certified by Borrower's corporate secretary, assistant
secretary, or other authorized officer, under which Borrower's Board of
Directors authorized one or more designated officers or employees to
execute this Agreement, the Note and any and all Security Agreements
directly or indirectly securing repayment of the same, and to consummate
the borrowings and other transactions as contemplated under this Agreement,
and to consent to the remedies following any default by Borrower as
provided in this Agreement and in any Security Agreements.
OPINION OF COUNSEL. When required by Lender, Borrower has provided or will
provide Lender with an opinion of Borrower's counsel certifying to and
that: (1) Borrower's Note, any Security Agreements and this Agreement
constitute valid and binding obligations on Borrower's part that are
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms; (2) Borrower is
validly existing and in good standing; (3) Borrower has authority to enter
into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement; and (4) such other matters as may have been requested by
Lender or by Lender's counsel.
USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
RIGHT TO INSPECT. Lender shall have the right, from time to time hereafter to
inspect te books and to check, test and appraise the Collateral in order to
verify Borrower's financial conditions of the amount, quality, value, condition
of, or any other matter relating to the Collateral, provided that there shall be
2 collateral appraisals per year at the Borrower's cost.
JUDICIAL REFERENCE. Judicial Reference; Consent to Jurisdiction. ALL CLAIMS,
CAUSES OF ACTION OR OTHER DISPUTES CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATED
DOCUMENTS (EACH A "CLAIM"), INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT

BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE ("REFERENCE"). THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO

AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT. THE REFEREE
SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH
SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES,
FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. THE PARTIES SHALL
BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY UNLESS THE REFEREE ORDERS
OTHERWISE. THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE
APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PARAGRAPH. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLAIMS WILL NOT BE ADJUDICATED BY A JURY. Subject to the
immediately preceding paragraph, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally (1) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a
party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to
the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California,
the courts of the United States of America for the Central District of
California, and appellate courts from any thereof; (2) consents that any such

any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient

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. Borrower 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 Borrower 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

and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.
BORROWER INFORMATION. Borrower consents to the release of information on or
about Borrower by Lender in accordance with any court order, law or
regulation and in response to credit inquiries concerning Borrower.
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.
CONSENT TO LOAN PARTICIPATION. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever,
to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or
knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter
8
relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy
Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally
waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as
all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower
also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be
considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will
have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements
governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives
all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against
Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and
unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce
Borrower's obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or
insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further
agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce
its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower
may have against Lender.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY FEDERAL LAW APPLICABLE TO
LENDER AND, TO THE EXTENT NOT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS. THIS
AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
NON-LIABILITY OF LENDER. The relationship between Borrower and Lender
created by this Agreement is strictly a debtor and creditor relationship
and not fiduciary in nature, nor is the relationship to be construed as
creating any partnership or joint venture between Lender and Borrower.
Borrower is exercising Borrower's own judgment with respect to Borrower's
business. All information supplied to Lender is for Lender's protection
only and no other party is entitled to rely on such information. There is
no duty for Lender to review, inspect, supervise or inform Borrower of any
matter with respect to Borrower's business. Lender and Borrower intend that
Lender may reasonably rely on all information supplied by Borrower to
Lender, together with all representations and warranties given by Borrower
to Lender, without investigation or confirmation by Lender and that any
investigation or failure to investigate will not diminish Lender's right to
so rely.
NOTICE OF LENDER'S BREACH. Borrower must notify Lender in writing of any
breach of this Agreement or the Related Documents by Lender and any other
claim, cause of action or offset against Lender within thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of such breach or after the accrual of such claim,
cause of action or offset. Borrower waives any claim, cause of action or
offset for which notice is not given in accordance with this paragraph.'
Lender is entitled to rely on any failure to give such notice.
INDEMNIFICATION OF LENDER. Borrower agrees to indemnify, to defend and to
save and hold Lender harmless from any and all claims, suits, obligations,
damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
Lender's attorneys' fees), demands, liabilities, penalties, fines and
forfeitures of any nature whatsoever that may be asserted against or
incurred by Lender, its officers, directors, employees, and agents arising
out of, relating to, or in any manner occasioned by this Agreement and the
exercise of the rights and remedies granted Lender under this, as well as
by: (1) the ownership, use, operation, construction, renovation,
demolition, preservation, management, repair, condition, or maintenance of
any part of the Collateral; (2) the exercise of any of Borrower's rights
collaterally assigned and pledged to Lender hereunder; (3) any failure of
Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder; and/or (4) any
failure of Borrower to comply with the environmental and ERISA obligations,
representations and warranties set forth herein. The foregoing indemnity
provisions shall survive the cancellation of this Agreement as to all
matters arising or accruing prior to such cancellation and the foregoing
indemnity shall survive in the event that Lender elects to exercise any of
the remedies as provided under this Agreement following default hereunder.
Borrower's indemnity obligations under this section shall not in any way be
affected by the presence or absence of covering insurance, or by the amount
of such insurance or by the failure or refusal of any insurance carrier to
perform any obligation on its part under any insurance policy or policies
affecting the Collateral and/or Borrower's business activities. Should any
claim, action or proceeding be made or brought against Lender by reason of
any event as to which Borrower's indemnification obligations apply, then,
upon Lender's demand, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend
such claim, action or proceeding in Borrower's name, if necessary, by the
attorneys for Borrower's insurance carrier (if such claim, action or
proceeding is covered by insurance), or otherwise by such attorneys as
Lender shall approve. Lender may also engage its own attorneys at its
reasonable discretion to defend Borrower and to assist in its defense and
Borrower agrees to pay the fees and disbursements of such attorneys.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each
of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same 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 Borrower, or between
Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights
or of any of Borrower's or any 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, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times
of Borrower's current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by
law, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any
Borrower is deemed to be notice given to all Borrowers.
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.
SOLE DISCRETION OF LENDER. Whenever Lender's consent or approval is
required under this Agreement, the decision as to whether or not to consent
or approve shall be in the sole and exclusive discretion of Lender and
Lender's decision shall be final and conclusive.
SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OF BORROWER. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's subsidiaries and
9
affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances
shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or
other financial accommodation to any of Borrower's subsidiaries or
affiliates.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of
Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind
Borrower's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender
and its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not, however, have the right
to assign Borrower's rights under this Agreement or any interest therein,
without the prior written consent of Lender.
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower understands and agrees
that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all representations,
warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to Lender under this
Agreement or the Related Documents. Borrower further agrees that regardless
of any investigation made by Lender, all such representations, warranties
and covenants will survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to
Lender of the Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be
deemed made and redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made,
and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower's
Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall be
terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
