The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, the Loan Documents shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under any applicable and governing usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction. In the event Lender receives any interest under the Loan Documents in excess of any highest permissible rate under any applicable and governing law, such excess interest (including simple interest thereon at the interest rate at the highest permissible rate which is applicable and governing) shall be promptly applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower. To the extent such excess interest is greater than the unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly remit such overage to Borrower.
3. Security for Loan
3.1 Grant of Security Interest
Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in the Collateral. Borrower and Lender acknowledge their mutual intent that all security interests contemplated herein are given as a contemporaneous exchange for new value to Borrower, regardless of when advances to Borrower are actually made or when the Collateral is created or acquired.
The Collateral shall secure all of Borrowers present and future debts, obligations, and liabilities of whatever nature, and without any limitation whatsoever, to Lender, including, without limitation, (a) the Loan, (b) the Promissory Note, (c) all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, (d) all advances of the same kind and quality relating to this transaction, (e) all obligations of Borrower under the Financing Agreement, and (f) transactions in which the documents evidencing the indebtedness refer to this grant of security interest as providing security thereof.

6

d. There are no defenses or setoffs to payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, which can be asserted by way of defense or counterclaim against Borrower or Lender, except for normal and customary disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.
e. There is presently no default or delinquency in any payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, except for any default or delinquency which has been reserved against by Borrower in accordance with Accounting Standards and the Accounts and Financial Obligations will be timely paid in full by the obligors, except for normal and customary disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.
f. Borrower has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which would materially impair the ability of any obligor on the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, to timely perform its obligations thereunder, except those which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.
g. Any services performed or goods sold giving rise to the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, have been rendered or sold in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and in the ordinary course of Borrowers business.
h. There have been no extensions, modifications, or other agreements relating to payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, except those granted in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations and except those agreements with Benefactor Funding Corp. that shall be terminated by Borrower prior to or immediately in connection with Lender making the First Loan Advance.
3.3 Covenants Concerning Collateral
Borrower covenants that:
a. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements concerning the Collateral. Borrower will execute and deliver any documents (properly endorsed, if necessary) reasonably requested by Lender for perfection or enforcement of
7
any security interest or lien, give good faith, diligent cooperation to Lender, and perform such other acts reasonably requested by Lender for perfection and enforcement of any security interest or lien, including, without limitation, obtaining control for purposes of perfection with respect to Collateral consisting of deposit accounts, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, and electronic chattel paper. Lender is authorized to file, record, or otherwise utilize such documents as it deems necessary to perfect and/or enforce any security interest or lien granted hereunder.
b. Borrower shall keep the Equipment in good repair, ordinary wear and tear and obsolescence excepted, and be responsible for any loss or damage to the Equipment. Borrower shall pay when due all taxes, license fees and other charges on the Equipment. Borrower shall not sell, misuse, conceal, or in any way dispose of the Equipment or permit it to be used unlawfully or for hire or contrary to the provisions of any insurance coverage. Risk of loss of the Equipment shall be on Borrower at all times unless Lender takes possession of the Equipment. Loss of or damage to the Equipment or any part thereof shall not release Borrower from any of the obligations secured by the Equipment. Lender or its representatives may, at any time and from time to time, enter any premises where the Equipment is located and inspect, audit and check the Equipment; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will only enter any premises where the Equipment is located upon twenty-four (24) hours notice to Borrower.
c. Borrower agrees to insure the Equipment, at Borrowers expense, against loss, damage, theft, and such other risks as Lender may request to the full insurable value thereof with insurance companies and policies satisfactory to Lender. Proceeds from such insurance shall be payable to Lender as its interest may appear, shall name Lender as an additional insured and as a loss payee, and such policies shall provide for a minimum ten (10) days written cancellation notice to Lender. Upon request, policies or certificates attesting to such coverage shall be delivered to Lender. Insurance proceeds may be applied by Lender toward payment of any obligation secured by this Loan and Security Agreement, whether or not due, in such order of application as Lender may elect.
d. Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral. Lender or its representatives may, at any time and from time to time, enter any premises where the Collateral and/or the records pertaining to the Collateral are located and inspect, inventory, audit, check, copy, and otherwise review the Collateral and the records concerning the Collateral; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will enter any premise where the Collateral and/or records pertaining to the Collateral are located upon twenty-four (24) hours notice to Borrower.

d. Each Borrower shall be a direct, primary and independent obligor and shall not be deemed to be a guarantor, accommodation party or other person secondarily liable for the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Obligations as used in this Section means, as the context requires, the duties and obligations under the Loan Documents from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, however, each Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(i) Lender may enforce the Loan and Security Agreement and the Loan Documents against any property, interests in property, and rights to property securing any or all Obligations arising pursuant to the related documents without first having sought enforcement of Loan and Security Agreement and any related documents against any Borrower or any other Collateral.

(iii) Lender may do the following acts or omissions from time to time with notice to Borrower, which notice shall not be required to be in writing, but without the consent of any Borrower and without receiving payment or other value, nor shall the following acts or omissions affect, delay or impair any of such Obligations or any or all liens and encumbrances: (A) Lender may obtain Collateral or additional Collateral; (B) with the agreement of one Borrower, Lender may substitute for any or all Collateral regardless of whether the same type or greater or lesser value; (C) Lender may release any or all Collateral; (D) Lender may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle or waive any rights or remedies of Lender as to any or all Collateral; (E) Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in accordance with the related documents and in such manner or order as Lender determines; (F) Lender may fail to perfect, fail to protect the priority of, and fail to ensure any or all liens or
20
encumbrances; (G) Lender may fail to inspect, insure, maintain, preserve or protect any or all Collateral; (H) Lender may obtain additional obligors for any or all such Obligations; (I) with the agreement of one Borrower, Lender may increase or decrease any or all Obligations or otherwise change terms of any or all Obligations; (J) Lender may release any Borrower; (K) Lender may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle or waive any Obligations of any Borrower with the agreement of that Loan Party; (L) Lender may make advances to, or grant other financial accommodations for any Borrower; (M) Lender may fail to file or pursue a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other proceeding as to any or all liens and encumbrances or any or all Obligations; (N) Lender may amend, modify, extend, renew, restate, supplement or terminate in whole or in part the obligation of any Loan Party with the agreement of that Loan Party; (O) Lender may take or fail to take any other action with respect to any Loan Document or Loan Party; and (P) Lender may do any other acts or make any other omissions that result in the extinguishment of the obligation of any Loan Party. As used herein, Loan Party means Borrower, and each other person that from time to time is or becomes obligated to Lender under this Loan and Security Agreement and any Loan Documents or grants any lien or encumbrance to Lender with respect to any Collateral.
(iv) Each Borrower waives any and all rights and benefits under any laws that limit the liability or exonerate guarantors or sureties s now or hereafter in effect and any other statutes or rules now or hereafter in effect that purport to confer specific rights upon or make specific defenses or procedures available to any Borrower.
(v) Each Borrower waives any rights that require Lender, and Lender shall have no obligation to, provide to Borrower any information concerning the performance of any other Borrower, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the related documents, or the ability of the other to perform the Obligations or any other matter, regardless of what information Lender may from time to time have. Borrower waives any and all present and future claims, remedies and rights against the other or any other Borrower, the Collateral and any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Loan Party (A) arising from any performance hereunder, (B) arising from any application of any Collateral, or any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Borrower, or (C) otherwise arising in respect of this Loan and Security Agreement and the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such claims, remedies and rights arise under any present or future agreement, document or instrument or are provided by any law, ordinance, regulation or rule (federal, state or local) (including, without limitation, any and all rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation and any and all rights to participate in the rights and remedies of Lender, against any Borrower). To the fullest extent that rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement and subrogation are not waivable, such rights are hereby made subordinate and subject to all rights, liens and claims of Lender.
21
e. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:
(i) As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement and the obligations hereby assumed, the sum of each Borrowers debts is less than all of such Borrowers assets at fair valuation.
(ii) Borrower is not entering into this Loan and Security Agreement, granting any security in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, or otherwise making any transfer in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Borrower, whether such creditor now exists or may hereafter arise.
(iii) Borrower acknowledges that Lenders commitment to lend certain amounts to Borrower pursuant to this Loan and Security Agreement constitutes reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the execution and delivery by Borrower of this Loan and Security Agreement, the granting of security in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, and all transfers made by Borrower in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement. Borrower agrees that the execution of this Loan and Security Agreement, the joint borrowing contemplated by this Loan and Security Agreement, the Loan Documents, and the other related documents and the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, even though entailing some risks, have been determined by Borrower to be the most desirable form of financing for Borrowers operations and to provide to Borrower more availability of funds and flexibility in satisfying Borrowers need for funds.
(iv) Borrower is not engaged or about to be engaged in a business or transaction for which the assets of Borrower (after giving effect to the granting of any security in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement and any other transfer made or contemplated to be made in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement) would be unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction.
(v) Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.
(vi) As used in this Section, the term transfer shall include every mode, direct or indirect, absolute or conditional, voluntary or involuntary, of disposing of or parting with an asset or an interest in an asset and includes payment of money, release, lease, and creation of a lien or other encumbrance.
f. Indemnity Obligations:
(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to the terms of this Loan and Security Agreement, each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations, whether or not the Obligations represent amounts actually advanced to an individual Borrower. Accordingly, each Borrower has expressly
22
assumed the risk that such Borrower may be held liable for, and such Borrowers property may be applied to payment of, amounts advanced pursuant to this Loan and Security Agreement to or for the direct benefit of another Borrower. Nothing contained in this Loan and Security Agreement shall in any way limit the obligations of any Borrower to Lender or otherwise limit the joint and several nature of all of the obligations of each Borrower. Each Borrower shall be fully liable to Lender pursuant to Loan Documents without regard to any allocation of losses and liabilities by virtue of such indemnity provisions or otherwise.
(ii) In any action or proceeding involving any state law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of this Section, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any their creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under the related documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower, Lender, or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
