RECITALS

 

A.           Lender has agreed to make certain loan(s) to Borrowers in an aggregate face amount of up to $2,400,000 pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan Agreement, of even date herewith, among Borrowers and Lender (the "Loan Agreement"), which loan(s) include an initial loan evidenced by the Initial Note (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in face amount of $1,200,000 and, if and when funded in accordance with the Loan Agreement, a second loan evidenced by a Second Note (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in face amount of up to $1,200,000.

C.           In light of the business relationships among the Borrowers, each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability for the Notes and other Obligations and agreeing to grant the security interests contemplated by this Agreement, all in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lender under the Loan Agreement, which Borrowers agree are for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrowers and Lender agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.          Collateral Defined. The term "Collateral" for each Borrower is defined in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and elsewhere in this Agreement.

2.           Indebtedness Defined. "Indebtedness" means all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Note, and all other instruments, agreements and documents executed by any Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Documents”).

 

3.           Cash Management Terms; Restricted Accounts.

 

(a)          Bonus Interactive has established and currently maintains a deposit account with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association (said bank, and any successor bank as hereinafter provided, the “Deposit Bank”), Account No. 418981333 (the “BI Account”), to which all payments, collections, recoveries and proceeds of Accounts, Instruments and General Intangibles of Bonus Interactive (collectively, “BI Collections”) are and shall be deposited by or for the account of Bonus Interactive, including any and all direct deposits made by account debtors and payors thereunder. Lot6 LLC has established and currently maintains a deposit account with Deposit Bank, Account No. 418981325 (the “Lot6 Account” and, together with the BI Account, individually, a “Restricted Account” and, collectively, the “Restricted Accounts”), to which all payments, collections, recoveries and proceeds of Accounts, Instruments and General Intangibles of Lot6 LLC (collectively, “Lot6 Collections” and, together with BI Collections, collectively, the “Collections”) are and shall be deposited by or for the account of Lot6 LLC, including any and all direct deposits made by account debtors and payors thereunder. Bonus Interactive and Lot6 LLC have arranged for Deposit Bank to provide lockbox services pursuant to Deposit Bank's standard procedures and documentation (the "Lockbox Services"), providing for the establishment of a P.O. Box to which all Collections of each such Borrower in the form of checks are to be mailed by the account debtors and payors and deposited by Deposit Bank in such Borrower's Restricted Account.

 

(b)          Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Bonus Interactive and Lot6 LLC shall each execute and deliver:

 

(i)          to Deposit Bank, an instruction letter (the "Deposit Bank Instruction Letter") in the form of Exhibit "B" hereto, including any amendment, modification or supplement thereto in such form and content as shall be reasonably required by Lender; and

 

(ii)         to Lender, a Payment Direction Letter (in the form attached as Exhibit “C” to this Agreement) addressed to each account debtor and payor under such Accounts, Instruments and General Intangibles and duly executed by Bonus Interactive or Lot6 LLC, as applicable, together with envelopes addressed to each such account debtor or payor (first class postage pre-paid), directing such account debtor or payor to pay all Collections to the post office box established pursuant to the applicable agreement for Lockbox Services for deposit to the Restricted Account thereunder.

 

(c)          Continuously from and after the effective date of this Agreement and until all Indebtedness and other Obligations of the Borrowers to Lender have been indefeasibly paid and discharged in full, Bonus Interactive and Lot6 LLC shall cause all Collections to be deposited to their respective Restricted Accounts.

 

2
 

 

(d)          From and after the effective date of this Agreement and until all Indebtedness and other Obligations of the Borrowers to Lender have been indefeasibly paid and discharged in full, Bonus Interactive and Lot6 LLC shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent Lender may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion:

 

(i)          terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Payment Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever, or direct or cause any account debtor or payor to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the related Payment Direction Letter or this Agreement;

 

(ii)         fail to maintain in good standing with Deposit Bank their respective Restricted Accounts or to cause all Collections to be deposited directly to the Restricted Accounts in the manner provided in this Agreement or any applicable Payment Direction Letter;

 

(iii)        amend, modify, supplement, terminate, cancel, revoke or replace any instruction given to Deposit Bank as set forth in the Deposit Account Instruction Letter or any other instruction given to Deposit Bank that has been expressly approved by Lender in writing, or permit Deposit Bank to violate or fail to comply with any such instruction; or

 

(iv)         establish any other deposit account or investment account to which any Collections or any proceeds thereof are deposited or credited.

 

(e)          Lender has established a separate non-interest-bearing deposit account with Deposit Bank, Account No. 432221484 (the “Cash Collateral Account”) in the name of Lender to which all Collections and other amounts that are required to be deposited to the Restricted Accounts or otherwise paid by Borrowers to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Notes shall be transferred and deposited as herein provided, and the Lender shall allocate and apply such deposits made to the Cash Collateral Account in the manner hereinafter provided. Until all Indebtedness and other Obligations of Borrowers shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, all Collections shall be deposited directly in the Restricted Accounts (whether pursuant to the Lockbox Services or otherwise) and will be swept daily from the Restricted Accounts to the Cash Collateral Account. For so long as the Indebtedness and other Obligations shall remain outstanding and shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, Borrowers shall not maintain any deposit accounts or securities accounts into which any Collections are deposited other than the Restricted Accounts as herein provided.

 

(f)          From all Collections deposited to the Restricted Accounts and transferred to the Cash Collateral Account, Lender shall allocate, apply or disburse such funds as follows and in the following priority:

 

(i)          first, together with the then available balance of any funded Payment Reserve (as hereinafter defined), to pay Lender the amount of any regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest that is due from Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Agreement and the Notes on the date such funds are so deposited and are available to apply to such payment;

 

3
 

 

(ii)         second, to hold and fund a reserve ("Payment Reserve"), the total amount of which as of the date such deposit is made shall be the amount of the next regularly scheduled payment due from Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Agreement and Notes; and

 

(iii)        third, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, to release to Borrowers such amounts as Borrowers may have then requested from Lender, upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice delivered to Lender, to pay for business expenses of the Borrowers that are incurred in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.

 

(g)          Borrowers shall continue to be liable for and shall pay to Lender upon demand the full amount of any shortfall in the amount required to be paid to Lender under the Loan Agreement and Notes, to the extent that funds deposited to the Cash Collateral Account are at any time not sufficient to cover such loan payments when due and in the priority as set forth above. The foregoing application and use of funds held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be subject to Lender's rights and remedies upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Notes, including Lender's right to immediately seize and apply all funds credited to the Cash Collateral Account and the Restricted Accounts to the Indebtedness and other obligations of Borrowers thereunder. All funds held in the Cash Collateral Account may be commingled with other assets of Lender, and Lender shall not be obligated to pay or credit any Borrower any interest or other compensation on the amount of such funds.

 

4.           Creation of Security Interest. To secure the repayment of all Indebtedness, and payment and performance of all other Obligations of Borrowers to Lender, each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in all of such Borrower's right, title, and interest in the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or created, whether fixed or contingent, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver, in form acceptable to Lender, in Lender's reasonable opinion and judgment, all documents which in Lender's reasonable opinion and judgment are necessary to perfect and maintain the security interest in the Collateral, and authorizes Lender to file, in all relevant jurisdictions, all such financing statements and amendments of financing statements as Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain perfection of such security interest. Each Borrower represents, warrants and agrees that, except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Lender shall have a first priority continuing security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, to secure payment and performance of the Indebtedness and all of Borrowers' Obligations to Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and this Agreement: (i) Bonus Interactive hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the BI Account, and all deposits at any time made thereto and all proceeds thereof; and (i) Lot6 LLC hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Lot6 Account, and all deposits at any time made thereto and all proceeds thereof. Each entity comprising Borrowers hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Collateral Account, all deposits at any time made thereto and all proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Collateral Account. The Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account, and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Collateral Account shall be paid by Borrowers. The Restricted Accounts and Cash Collateral Account and all proceeds thereof shall be deemed part of the Collateral. Upon final and irrevocable payment in full of all Indebtedness, Lender, at the request and sole expense of Borrowers, shall file, or execute and deliver to Borrowers for filing, all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence termination of any security interest or other liens of Lender in the Collateral.

8
