(a)          Revolving Advances.
 
(i)           Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(a) shall be immediately due and payable.  Borrower may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.
 
(ii)           Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day that is one (1) day before the Advance is to be made.  Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.  Borrower will deliver copies of invoices in connection with any Advance request and all supporting documents, plus transaction files for all invoices and payment application in an electronic format acceptable to Bank for processing.  Documents received by 11:00 a.m. California time on accounts acceptable to Bank will be processed on the same Business Day.  Documents received after then will be processed on the next Business Day.  Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid.  Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance.  Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section  to Borrower’s deposit account.
 
2.2          Overadvances.  If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
 
2.3          Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
 
(a)          Interest Rates.
 
(i)           Advances.  Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), and subject to Section 2.3(a)(ii) below, the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a rate equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) above the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”).  In no event, however, shall the Advance Rate be less than eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, irrespective of the Prime Rate.
 
(ii)           Minimum Interest.  Irrespective of the amount of Advances outstanding from time to time, Borrower shall pay Bank a minimum interest payment of not less than Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000) per quarter (the “Minimum Interest Payment”).  Any payments of interest actually made by Borrower during each calendar quarter shall be credited to the Minimum Interest Payment required to be paid for such quarter.
 
 
7.

 

(b)           Late Fee; Default Rate.  If any payment is not made within ten (10) Business Days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law.  All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
 
(c)           Payments.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each month during the term hereof.  Minimum Interest Payments shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each quarter during the term hereof.  Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Minimum Interest Payments, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.
 
(d)           Lockbox.    Immediately after the Closing, Borrower shall require all account debtors (by, among other things, instructing the account debtors) to wire any amounts owing to Borrower to such account (the “Collateral Account”) as Bank shall specify, and to mail all payments made by check to a post office box under Bank ’s control.  All invoices shall specify such post office box as the payment address.  Bank shall have sole authority to collect such payments and deposit them to the Collateral Account.  If Borrower receives any amount despite such instructions, Borrower shall immediately deliver such payment to Bank in the form received, except for an endorsement to the order of Bank and, pending such delivery, shall hold such payment in trust for Bank.  One (1) Business Day after clearance of any checks, Bank shall credit all amounts paid into the Collateral Account first, against any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line, and then, of any remaining balance of such amount, to Borrower’s operating account.  Borrower shall enter into such lockbox agreement as Bank shall reasonably request from time to time.  Bank will provide reports of invoice entry and payment to Borrower on each Business Day, and will from time to time deliver a detailed aging of open invoices upon Borrower’s request.
 
(e)           Computation.  In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate.  All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year.
 
2.4          Crediting Payments.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.  Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
 
2.5          Fees.
 
(a)           Facility Fee.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a Facility Fee equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) which shall be nonrefundable.  Bank acknowledges receipt of an application fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), which is fully earned and non-refundable and which shall not be credited to the Facility Fee.

2.6          Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

9.3           Accounts Collection.  At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account.  Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
 
9.4           Bank Expenses.  If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
 
9.5           Bank’s Liability for Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.  All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 
18.

 
 
9.6           Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.  Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
 
9.7           Demand; Protest.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, 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 at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
