RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Lender extend revolving and term credit facilities to Borrowers of up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in the aggregate to provide working capital financing for Borrowers and for this purpose Lender is willing to make certain loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers of up to such amount upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Borrowers have agreed to secure all of their obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Lender a security interest in and lien upon the Collateral (as defined below);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Accounting And Other Terms

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

2. Loan And Terms Of Payment

2.1 Credit Extensions.

Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, promise to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender shall make Advances under the Committed Revolving Line to Borrowers from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date. Until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, Borrowers may borrow,

-1-

repay, and reborrow under this Section 2.1.1; provided, that the aggregate amount of the Advances to be made shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line and (ii) amounts available under the Borrowing Base at any time, in each case, minus the outstanding Advances. The proceeds of the Advances shall be used solely for working capital and other general business requirements of Borrowers.

(b) Pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4, interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) To obtain an Advance, a Borrower must follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.3(a).

(d) Lender’s obligation to make Advances terminates on the Commitment Termination Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

(e) Borrowers shall pay interest accrued on the Advances at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 2.2.1(a).

(f) If the aggregate amount of the Advances under this Section 2.1.1, exceeds the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) amounts available under the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrowers must pay Lender the excess within 3 days.

2.1.2 Term Loan.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make, and Borrowers agree to borrow, a term loan on the Closing Date (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in the amount of the Term Loan Commitment. Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to repay the Term Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.2.1(b), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used solely for working capital and other general business requirements of Borrowers.

(b) The Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan in forty-eight (48) equal, consecutive monthly installments of principal plus interest on the first day of each month commencing November 1, 2006, and ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date. At any time, the Borrowers may prepay amounts due and owing under the Term Loan together with a prepayment fee equal to the following percentage of the amount prepaid: if the Term Loan amounts are prepaid in any of the first 12 months following the Closing Date, 5.0%; in months 13 — 24, 3.0%; in months 25 — 36, 0.5%; and thereafter, 0.0%. Prepayments shall be applied to scheduled principal repayments in inverse order of their maturity. The prepayment fee described above shall also apply upon acceleration of the Term Loan pursuant to Section 9.1(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Term Loan Maturity Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed.

-2-

2.2 Interest Rates; Limitations.

2.2.1 Interest Rates. Borrowers shall pay interest to Lender in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (a) with respect to the Advances, each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus one percent (1.0%), and (b) with respect to the Term Loan, the Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus three percent (3.00%); provided, however, that such Term Loan rate shall be irrevocably decreased to the Base Rate plus 2 percent (2.00%) on the last day of the second consecutive quarter in which PlanetOut and its Subsidiaries achieve a consolidated EBITDA of at least Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). After an Event of Default occurs and so long as such Event of Default continues, including after an acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (whether before or after entry of judgment to the extent permitted by law), Obligations shall accrue interest at two percent (2.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.2.1 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

2.2.2 Limitations on Interest Rates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest rate laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents are held to be in excess of the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state law, the amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal under the Advances and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall be reduced by such amount in the inverse order of maturity so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest rate laws.

2.2.3 General Provisions. Payments received after 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

2.3 Fees.

Borrower shall pay:

(a) Fees. A fully earned, non-refundable fee equal to (i) $75,000 (the “Term Loan Fee”) on the Closing Date and (ii) $37,500 (the “Revolving Line Fee”) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses) incurred (i) through the date of this Agreement, as requested by Lender, on the Closing Date and, (ii) thereafter, within 5 business days of the

-3-

delivery of a reasonably detailed invoice by Lender. Any Lender Expenses not paid in accordance with the foregoing shall bear interest at the then applicable Base Rate.

3. Conditions Of Credit Extensions

3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.

Lender’s obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that the following have been satisfied, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender:

(a) Borrowers and the other parties thereto (other than Lender) shall have executed and delivered each Loan Document to which each is a party;

(b) Borrowers shall have delivered a good standing certificate of each Borrower from (i) the Secretary of State of such Borrower’s jurisdiction of formation and (ii) all other jurisdictions in which it does business and where the failure to be qualified would cause a Material Adverse Change;

(c) Lender shall have received a Secretary’s Certificate from each Borrower certifying such Borrower’s respective (i) Operating Documents, (ii) resolutions authorizing the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and (iii) signatories to the Loan Documents.

(d) Lender shall have received the certificates of insurance described in Section 6.6;

(e) Borrowers shall have paid all costs and fees, including the Term Loan Fee, and Lender Expenses, in accordance with Section 2.3(b); and

(f) Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender, in addition to the documents required in Section 3.2, all documents, certificates, and other in connection therewith assurances that Lender or its counsel may reasonably request.

3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.

Lender’s obligation to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the condition precedent that the following shall have been satisfied, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender:

(a) for Advances, the timely receipt of a Notice of Borrowing;

(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be true on the date of a Notice of Borrowing and on each Funding Date or the date any other Credit Extension is made, except for those representations and warranties that expressly refer to another date, which shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date; and provided that any representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 that refer to financial statements shall be deemed to be made with respect to the financial statements most recently delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2; and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing or

-4-

result from the Credit Extension (each Credit Extension is each Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that (i) the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); and

(c) following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the receipt of the Revolving Line Fee.

3.3 Procedure for the Borrowing of Advances.

(a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 for Advances made on the Closing Date and Section 3.2 for all Advances, each Advance shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable written notice delivered to Lender in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, executed by a Responsible Officer of each requesting Borrower. Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Lender believes is a Responsible Officer. Borrowers shall indemnify Lender for any loss Lender suffers due to such reliance. Unless waived by Lender, such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date specifying:

(i) the amount of the Advance, which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $250,000 or in any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and

(ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day.

(b) The proceeds of all such Advances will then be made available on the Funding Date to the Borrower requesting such Advance by Lender as instructed by Borrower.

3.4 Calculation of Interest and Fees.

Interest on the Credit Extensions, and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of such Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Each change in the interest rate of the Advances based on changes in the Base Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change.

4. Creation Of Security Interest

4.1 Grant of Security Interest.

Each Borrower grants Lender a continuing security interest in all of such Borrower’s presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure the payment of all Obligations and the performance of each Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, Lender’s security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. So long as

-5-

Lender is committed to make any Advances hereunder or any Obligations remain outstanding, Lender’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue.

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements.

Borrowers authorize Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Borrowers, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Lender deems reasonably necessary, in order to protect or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.

4.3 Termination.

Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and the cancellation or termination of any commitment to extend credit or make Advances under this Agreement, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrowers, and Lender shall immediately return all Collateral to Borrowers. Upon such termination, Lender hereby authorizes Borrowers, at Borrowers’ expense, to file any UCC termination statement necessary to effect such termination, and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to Borrowers any additional documents or instruments as Borrowers reasonably request to evidence such termination and shall promptly notify any banks at which Borrowers’ accounts have been pledged to Lender pursuant to control agreements that such agreements should be immediately terminated.

5. Representations And Warranties

Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s Operating Documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral.

Borrower has good title to its Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no other Deposit Account, other than the Deposit Accounts described in the Disclosure Schedule. Except as disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule, the Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is maintained at the locations set forth in the Disclosure Schedule. Except as described in the Disclosure Schedule as of the Closing Date hereof, the Collateral is not in the

-6-

possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower shall receive the prior written consent of Lender, and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Lender. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of its Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business.

5.3 Accounts.

(a) Representations Relating to Accounts. Each Account with respect to which Advances are requested by Borrowers represents, on the date each Advance is requested and made, an undisputed (to the best of the relevant Borrower’s Knowledge) bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the account debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of services, or the non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property, in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. No Borrower has Knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any of its account debtors whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate.

(b) Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of the Borrower’s Books are and shall be genuine. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations except for any failure to comply that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. To the best of Borrower’s Knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5.4 Litigation.

Except as shown in the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2(a), there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.5 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender.

5.6 Solvency.

The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after

-7-

the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.7 Regulatory Compliance.

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or its Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s Knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has generally timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments.

Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.9 Full Disclosure.

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Lender (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Lender and with PlanetOut’s periodic filings on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading. Lender recognizes that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

6. Affirmative Covenants

Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do all of the following for so long as Lender has an obligation to lend or there are outstanding Obligations:

6.1 Government Compliance.

(a) Except for mergers or consolidations permitted under Section 7.5, maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations,

-8-

provided, however, that PlanetOut France Partners SARL may be dissolved at PlanetOut’s discretion; and

(b) Comply, and have each of its Subsidiaries comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, for which noncompliance would have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.

(a) Deliver to Lender: (i) as soon as available, but no later than forty (40) days after the last day of each fiscal quarter, prepared under GAAP by Borrower, consistently applied, quarterly consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and income statements covering consolidated and consolidating operations of PlanetOut and its Subsidiaries during the period certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form acceptable to Lender; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than ninety (90) days after the last day of PlanetOut’s fiscal year, reviewed annual financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, prepared by Stonefield Josephson or another independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Lender; (iii) within five (5) Business Days of filing, copies of all reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened against any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of $100,000 or more, or which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change (collectively, “Material Litigation”); and (v) other financial information Lender reasonably requests. Lender acknowledges that Borrowers may fulfill their obligations to provide financial statements as described in subsections (i) and (ii) above by the delivery of PlanetOut’s periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q in accordance with this Section 6.2.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Borrowers post such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrowers’ website on the Internet at Borrowers’ website address of www.planetoutinc.com (or such other website address as Borrowers may provide to Lender in writing from time to time); provided that: (x) to the extent Lender is otherwise unable to receive any such electronically delivered documents, Borrowers shall, upon request by Lender, deliver paper copies of such documents to Lender, in number sufficient for each Lender, until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by Lender and (y) Borrowers shall notify Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents or provide to Lender by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents.

(b) Within 30 days after the last day of each month, deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate (in the form of Exhibit A) with an Accounts receivable aging summary and reconciliation report and summary of Accounts payable, each signed by a Responsible Officer.

(c) Within 30 days after the last day of each quarter, deliver to Lender

-9-

with the quarterly financial statements a Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit B.

(d) Allow Lender to audit Borrower’s Collateral at Borrower’s expense. Such audits will be conducted no more often than once every six (6) months upon 2 business days advance notice unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.3 Accounts.

(a) Schedules and Documents relating to Accounts. If requested by Lender, make available to Lender copies (or, at Lender’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing, except as disclosed to Lender at the time such materials are made available to Lender. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all credit memos.

(b) Disputes. Notify Lender promptly of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts to the extent such disputes or claims exceed (i) $25,000 individually or (ii) $175,000 in the aggregate at any given time. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm’s length transactions, which are reported to Lender on the regular reports provided to Lender; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or amounts available under the Borrowing Base.

6.4 Inventory.

6.6 Insurance.

Borrowers shall, at all times, insure all of the Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with St. Paul Travelers Companies or other insurers reasonably acceptable to

-10-

Lender, in such form and amounts as Lender may reasonably require (it being acknowledged that Lender approves Borrowers’ insurance coverage as in effect as of the Closing Date and accordingly does not require any changes or additions to such coverage as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Borrowers may need to adjust insurance coverage in the future pursuant to this Section 6.6), and Borrowers shall provide evidence of such insurance to Lender, so that Lender is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect. Such insurance shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 13.2. Borrowers shall deliver insurance endorsements showing Lender as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, and that Lender will be provided at least twenty (20) days notice of cancellation of any policy. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any policy will, at Lender’s option, be payable to Lender on account of the Obligations. If any Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Lender may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrowers’ expense. Each Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all reports made to insurance companies.

6.7 Financial Covenants.

Maintain an Adjusted EBITDA as set forth on Schedule 6.7.

6.8 Further Assurances.

Upon the LPI Payoff, Lender shall be authorized to file a financing statement showing SpecPub as debtor and an amendment to Lender’s existing financing statement showing PlanetOut as debtor to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Specified SpecPub Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral. Upon the LPI Payoff, PlanetOut shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the “Pledged Collateral” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement dated November 8, 2005 between PlanetOut and Lipo Liquidating Corp.

material, adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 956 (or any successor statute).

6.10 Stock Certificate Delivery.

Deliver to Lender, on or before November 15, 2006, all stock certificates representing the “Pledged Shares” (as such term is defined in that certain Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, made by PlanetOut USA in favor of Lender), together with signed and undated stock powers.

Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of any Borrower except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of such Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

8. Events Of Default

Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

8.1 Payment Default.

If any Borrower fails to pay (a) the principal of any Credit Extension on the date when such payment is due, or (b) the interest portion or any other Obligations within three (3) days after such amounts become due. During any cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);

8.2 Covenant Default.

If any Borrower fails to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.6 or 6.7 or violates any covenant in Section 7; or

During the additional cure period, the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during any cure period);

8.3 Material Adverse Change.

8.4 Attachment.

If any material portion of any Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in ten (10) Business Days, or if any Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material portion of any Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any material portion of any Borrower’s assets by any government agency and is not paid within ten (10) Business Days after such Borrower receives notice.

8.5 Insolvency.

If any Borrower becomes insolvent or if any Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against any Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

8.6 Other Agreements.

8.7 Judgments.

If a nonappealable money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $100,000 is rendered against any Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for thirty (30) days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or

8.8 Misrepresentations.

-15-

If any Borrower or any Person acting for any Borrower makes any material misrepresentation or material misstatement of any material fact at the time made now or later in any warranty or representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Lender to induce Lender to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.

9. Lender’s Rights And Remedies

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Lender;

(c) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will assemble the Collateral if Lender requires and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrowers grant Lender a license to enter and occupy any of their premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(d) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower;

(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, any Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, any Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit; or

(f) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Power of Attorney.

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, each Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or

-16-

bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign any Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Lender Payments.

If any Borrower fails to pay any amount when due or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons as required under the Loan Documents, Lender may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.6 and take any action under the policies Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Lender in connection with the foregoing shall be collectively referred to as “Lender Payments”. No Lender Payments are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Lender’s Liability for Collateral.

If Lender complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.5 Remedies Cumulative.

Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.6 Demand Waiver.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which such Borrower is liable.

10. Notices

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by

-17-

certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses and telefacsimile numbers set forth below each party’s name on the signature page hereto. Notice shall be effective upon receipt if sent by personal delivery, overnight delivery service or certified mail; and notices sent by telefacsimile shall be effective upon confirmation of delivery. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.

11. Choice Of Law, Venue And Jury Trial Waiver, Judicial Reference

California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Borrower and Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in San Francisco County, California.

EACH BORROWER AND LENDER WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the San Francisco County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against

-18-

Collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

12. Cross Guaranty.

12.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d) the insolvency of any Borrower; or

(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

12.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower expressly waives the benefit of (a) California Civil Code Section 2815 permitting the revocation of any guaranty as to future transactions and the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855, 2899 and 1432 with respect to certain suretyship defenses, and (b) all rights, benefits and defenses, if any, applicable or available to such Borrower under (i) California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a or 726, which provide, among other things, that the amount of any deficiency judgment which may be recovered following either a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale is limited to the difference between the amount of any indebtedness owed and

-19-

the greater of the fair value of the security or the amount for which the security was actually sold, (ii) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580b, providing that no deficiency may be recovered on a real property purchase money obligation, or (iii) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, providing that no deficiency may be recovered on a note secured by a deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the deed of trust. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.

12.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

12.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 12, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.

12.5 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial sale or enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to

-20-

which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

12.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 2) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

(a) the net amount of all Credit Extensions advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and

(b) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Borrower under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 12.7.

12.7 Public Announcement. Borrowers hereby agree that Lender may make a public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and may publicize the same in marketing materials, newspapers and other publications, and otherwise (collectively, “Publicity”), and in connection therewith may use any Borrower’s name, tradenames and logos; provided however that any such public announcement or Publicity must be approved in advance by Borrowers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

12.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

13. General Provisions

13.1 Successors and Assigns.
