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, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Lenders, in cash, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such excess, for application against the outstanding Advances.

(d) Computation.  With respect to Obligations bearing interest at the Prime Rate, in n 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 for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.7 Administration.  Lenders have elected to administer this Agreement without designating an administrative agent.  To facilitate the administration of this Agreement, each Lender agrees (but without liability to Borrowers or the other Lenders for failing to do so) to advise the other Lenders promptly of any Advances made, issued or entered into by it, and of any payments received by it (whether voluntary payments, setoff amounts, automatic payments by debit to accounts maintained by a Borrower with it or otherwise).  Furthermore, to the extent Advances properly made by any Lender exceed the amounts which should have been funded or carried by such Lender, as the case may be, based on its applicable Loan Commitment, the other Lenders shall (to the extent such Lenders have not funded or are not carrying outstanding Advances based on their applicable Loan Commitment) purchase participations in such overfunded Lender’s Advances (or otherwise adjust the amount of their outstandings by mutual agreement), until the amount of such overfunding has been eliminated.

4.2 Perfection of Security Interest.  Each Borrower authorizes Collateral Agent to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of each Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether a Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Borrower, if applicable.  Any such financing statements may be filed by Collateral Agent at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction.  Each Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Collateral Agent, at the request of Collateral Agent, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent, to perfect and continue perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.  Borrowers shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Collateral Agent chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement.  Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrowers shall take such steps as Collateral Agent reasonably requests for Collateral Agent to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Collateral Agent, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent.  No Borrower will create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Collateral Agent indicating that Collateral Agent has a security interest in the chattel paper.  Borrowers from time to time may deposit with either Lender specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; each Borrower authorizes each Lender to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by a Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

(ii) apply to the Obligations any (a) balances and deposits of any Borrower that Collateral Agent or any Lender holds or controls, or (b) any amount held or controlled by Collateral Agent or any Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower; provided that each Lender shall retain its setoff rights and its right to place a “hold” on any accounts maintained with it, exercisable without the approval of the other Lenders; and/or
 
(iii) commence and prosecute an Insolvency Proceeding or consent to any Borrower commencing any Insolvency Proceeding.
 
 
22
 
 
(c) Without limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:
 
(i) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders consider advisable, notify any Person owing a Borrower money of Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
 
(ii) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral.  Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent requests and make it available in a location as Collateral Agent reasonably designates.  Collateral Agent 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.  Each Borrower grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;
 
(iii) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, the Collateral.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent and Lenders are hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, each 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 Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ exercise of their rights under this Section 9.1, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders;

(v) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books;
 
(vi) appoint a receiver to manage and realize upon any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any applicable law, including any power or authority to manage the business of Borrowers; and
 
(vii) Subject to clauses 9.1(a) and 9.1(b), exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof), and including the power of attorney in Section 9.2.
 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, but subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent and each Required Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance.  As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “Exigent Circumstance” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent or any Required Lender, imminently threatens the ability of Collateral Agent or any Required Lender to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrowers after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Collateral Agent or any Required Lender, could reasonably be expected to result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral.
 
In the event of an Exigent Circumstance, the Required Lenders shall attempt to mutually agree as to what enforcement action (as described in this Section 9.1; each, an “Enforcement Action”) to take; provided, however, that if after consultation, the Required Lenders cannot mutually agree on what action to take, then the Required Lender wishing to take the stronger Enforcement Action (the “Enforcing Lender”) shall have the right to determine and shall control the timing, order and type of Enforcement Actions which will be taken and all other matters in connection with any such Enforcement Actions, and to direct the Collateral Agent to act accordingly.  To facilitate these rights to control Enforcement Actions, upon any Required Lender becoming the Enforcing Lender, if the Enforcing Lender is not already the Collateral Agent, then automatically and without the necessity of any further action being taken by any party, (x) the original Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have resigned as Collateral Agent and (y) the Lenders shall be deemed to have unanimously appointed the Enforcing Lender as successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (and the Enforcing Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such appointment) in accordance with 13.9 of this Agreement.  In taking such Enforcement Actions pursuant to the previous sentence, the Enforcing Lender as such successor agent shall act in accordance with, and subject to the terms, conditions, rights and duties of Article 13 of this Agreement.
 
 
23
 
 
9.2 Power of Attorney.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits; (g) enter into a short-form  intellectual property security agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement for recording purposes only or modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into between a Borrower and Collateral Agent without first obtaining any Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by a Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which such Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; and (h) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of a Borrower where permitted by law; provided Collateral Agent may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of any Borrower on any of the documents described in clauses (g) and (h) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.  Each Borrower hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Collateral Agent is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder.  Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
 
9.3 Protective Payments.  If a Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrowers are obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent and any Lender (but without duplication with each other) may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent or any Lender are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral.  Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Parent with notice of Collateral Agent or any Lender obtaining such insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter.  No such payments by Collateral Agent or any Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default.
 
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of any Borrower of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between such Borrower on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent and Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent and/or Lenders may deem advisable (subject to the pro rata application of all such sums in accordance with this Agreement and to the order of application set forth in clause (b) of this Section 9.4) notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent or any Lender, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Lenders’ Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents.  Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Parent or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.  In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.  Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise.  Collateral Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of the Advances and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrowers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its Pro Rata Share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to Collateral Agent or other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Collateral Agent.  Any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lenders’ claims.  To the extent any payment for the account of a Borrower is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis.  If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for Collateral Agent and Lenders for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest therein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall not be liable for the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder.
 
 
24
 
 
9.5 Liability for Collateral.  So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible 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.
 
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.  Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Collateral Agent and Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity.  Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
 
9.7 Demand; Protest.  Each 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 Collateral Agent or any Lender on which any Borrower may in any way be liable.

         11.   CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Each of each Borrower, Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in the State of California.  THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.
 
         12.   REFERENCE PROVISION.
 
12.1 In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.
 
12.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).
 
 
26
 
 
12.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.
 
12.4 The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted.
 
12.5 The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.
 
12.6 The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery.  The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.
 
12.7 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.
 
12.8 The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference.  Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive.  The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee.  The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
 
 
27
 
 
12.9 If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration.   The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
 
12.10 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

         14.    COLLATERAL AGENT.
 
14.1 Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
 
14.2 Delegation of Duties.  Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
14.3 Liability of Collateral Agent.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no Collateral Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of a Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Collateral Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.
 
14.4 Reliance by Collateral Agent.  Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by Collateral Agent.  As between Collateral Agent and Lenders, Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of all Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
 
 
30
 
 
14.5 Notice of Default.  Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default and/or Event of Default, unless Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower, describing such default or Event of Default. Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  Collateral Agent shall take such action permitted by this Agreement with respect to an Event of Default as may be directed in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 9(a); provided, however, that while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as Collateral Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders, including without limitation, satisfaction of other security interests, liens or encumbrances on the Collateral not permitted under the Loan Documents, payment of taxes on behalf of a Borrower, payments to landlords, warehouseman, bailees and other persons in possession of the Collateral and other actions to protect and safeguard the Collateral, and actions with respect to insurance claims for casualty events affecting a Borrower and/or the Collateral.
 
14.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Collateral Agent.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Collateral Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of a Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Collateral Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Collateral Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Collateral Agent herein, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Collateral Agent-Related Person.
 
14.7 Indemnification of Collateral Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify upon demand each Collateral Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), and hold harmless each Collateral Agent-Related Person from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (which shall not include legal expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Collateral Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Collateral Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 14.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, reimburse Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Lenders’ Expenses incurred after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent, and not as a Lender) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 14.7 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of Collateral Agent.
 
 
31
 
 
14.8 Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its Credit Extensions, Comerica shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Collateral Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Comerica in its individual capacity.
 
14.9 Successor Collateral Agent.  Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and Parent.  If Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, all Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or the affiliates thereof) a successor Collateral Agent for the Lenders, which successor Collateral Agent shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and upon notice to Parent, a successor Collateral Agent from among the Lenders (or the affiliates thereof).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Collateral Agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the respective term “Collateral Agent” means such successor Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf.  After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 14 and Section 13.1 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date ten (10) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
 
14.10 Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to a Borrower, Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Collateral Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding); and
 
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
 
(c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Collateral Agent and, in the event that Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Collateral Agent under this Agreement.  To the extent that Collateral Agent fails timely to do so, each Lender may file a claim relating to such Lender’s claim.
 
 
32
 
 
14.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any guarantor and any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the date that all Obligations due hereunder have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full and no Commitment Amounts or other obligations of any Lender to provide funds to any Borrower under this Agreement remain outstanding, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 13.5. Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, all Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of Property, pursuant to this Section 14.11.
 
14.12 Bridge as Agent.  Collateral Agent hereby appoints Bridge as its agent (and Bridge hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control, including without limitation, all deposit accounts maintained at Bridge.
 
14.13 Cooperation of Borrowers.  If necessary, each Borrower agrees to (i) execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of the Commitment Amount or Loan to an assignee in accordance with Section 13.1, (ii) make such Borrower’s management available to meet with Collateral Agent and prospective participants and assignees of Commitment Amounts or Credit Extensions (which meetings shall be conducted no more often than twice every twelve months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and (iii) assist Collateral Agent or the Lenders in the preparation of information relating to the financial affairs of such Borrower as any prospective participant or assignee of the Commitment Amount or Revolving Line reasonably may request.  Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of the Commitment Amount, any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower and its financial affairs which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrowers prior to entering into this Agreement, so long as any such Person enters into a confidentiality agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by the terms of Section 13.8.
 
    15.   CO-BORROWER PROVISIONS.
 
15.1 Primary Obligation.  This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between any Lender and any Borrower.  Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of all Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower.  Collateral Agent and Lenders may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without limitation Disbursement Request Forms, Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates. Furthermore, the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group of Borrowers, such that each Borrower will benefit from any Credit Extensions a Lender makes to another Borrower.
 
15.2 Enforcement of Rights.  Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations and Collateral Agent and Lenders may proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.
 
15.3 Borrowers as Agents.  Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of both Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Lenders on behalf of each Borrower for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents.  This authorization cannot be revoked, and Lenders need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of Borrower.

15.4 Subrogation and Similar Rights.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 15.4 shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 15.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Collateral Agent for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
 
15.5 Waivers of Notice.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Borrower would otherwise be entitled.  Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower.  Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent Collateral Agent or any Lender from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower.  Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Collateral Agent or any Lender that changes the scope of the Borrower’s risks hereunder.
 
15.6 Subrogation Defenses.  Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and hereafter in effect.
 
15.7 Right to Settle, Release.
 
(a) The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Collateral Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
 
(b) Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Collateral Agent may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
 
 
34
 
 
15.8 Subordination.  All indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower holding the indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

Permitted Liens – Section 1.1

Judgment by the City of Glendale, CA against Ecogate Inc. in the amount of $3,813.79 plus costs of $149. CareView has paid the judgment and we are awaiting receipt of the discharge documents.

Property taxes possibly owed by Ecogate to Los Angeles County. The amount is currently unknown, but is believed to be non-material and less than $20,000. CareView continues to work with the County to determine the actual amount owed, which will be paid to the County once it is determined. CareView has not reserved for this liability.

Claim of the IRS against Ecogate, Inc. in the amount of $6,900. This potential liability was brought to our attention approximately two years ago by the IRS.  The last contact by the IRS was in or around late March or Early April of 2011, and we are currently awaiting follow-up by the IRS regarding this potential liability.  The maximum liability should not exceed $6,900 and possibly interest that has accrued on that amount since March or April 2011.

Lien of HealthCor Partners Fund, L.P. – on all assets of Parent, CareView Communications, Inc. and CareView Operations, LLC; provided the same is subject to the HealthCor Subordination Agreement.

Litigation – Section 5.6

On May 9, 2011, Focus Capital Group, Inc. (“Focus”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, claiming breach of contract (the “Focus Litigation”). The complaint involves a dispute relative to financial advisor and arranger fees, in an amount equal to $600,000 plus warrants, which Focus alleges are due to Focus in relation to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement by and between HealthCor and CareView, dated as of April 21, 2011. The Company denies any such fees are due Focus and has answered the complaint as such.  The parties have exchanged discovery requests but have not yet served responses thereto.  Notices of depositions have been served for depositions to take place in September.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this action but cannot, at this time, reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the proceedings or damages, if any, that will be imposed.  The Company does not have insurance for the claims alleged in the Focus Litigation and has not reserved for this liability.

I may obtain the required insurance from any company that is reasonably acceptable to the Bank, and will deliver proof of such coverage with an effective date of August 31, 2011 or earlier.

I understand and agree that if I fail to deliver proof of insurance to the Bank at the address below, or upon the lapse or cancellation of such insurance, the Bank may procure Lender's Single Interest Insurance or other similar coverage on the property.  If the Bank procures insurance to protect its interest in the property described in the security documents, the cost for the insurance will be added to my indebtedness as provided in the security documents.  Lender's Single Interest Insurance shall cover only the Bank's interest as a secured party, and shall become effective at the earlier of the funding date of this transaction or the date my insurance was canceled or expired.  I UNDERSTAND THAT LENDER'S SINGLE INTEREST INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE ME WITH ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN, HOWEVER, MY EQUITY IN THE PROPERTY WILL NOT BE INSURED.  FURTHER, THE INSURANCE WILL NOT PROVIDE MINIMUM PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INDEMNIFICATION AND DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAW.

CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2955.5. HAZARD INSURANCE DISCLOSURE:  No lender shall require a borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property.

I acknowledge having read the provisions of this agreement, and agree to its terms.  I authorize the Bank to provide to any person (including any insurance agent or company) any information necessary to obtain the insurance coverage required.
