ARTICLE II- CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.1    Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Facility Termination Date, Lender shall make revolving loans and advances to Borrower (each a “Loan” and collectively the “Loans”) in an outstanding aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the lesser of (a) the Facility Limit and (b) the Borrowing Base minus Letter of Credit Exposure. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the principal of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.2    Advances. A request for a Loan shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner:
(a)    Borrower may request a Loan by notifying Lender (a “Notice of Borrowing”), before 10:00 a.m. (Los Angeles, California, time) on the proposed borrowing date, of Borrower’s intention to borrow and specifying the effective date and amount of the requested advance. Any Notice of Borrowing may be made by telephone and confirmed in writing (including email) with each writing being in a form acceptable to Lender; provided that the failure to provide written confirmation shall not invalidate any telephonic notice and, if such written confirmation differs in any respect from the action taken by Lender, the records of Lender shall control absent manifest error.
(b)    Borrower’s failure to pay any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document or any Obligation shall be deemed, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to be a request for a Loan on the due date in the amount required to pay such amount, and such request shall be irrevocable. Lender shall not have any obligation to Borrower to honor any deemed request for an advance but may do so in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default unless, at the time such payment is required to be made, the amount of such payment shall be less than the Availability in which case such payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with such payment.






Section 2.3    Repayment of the Loans. The Loans shall be repaid as follows: (a) unless accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof, the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans are due and payable, without demand, on the Facility Termination Date; (b) if any such payment due date is not a Business Day, then such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and fees due hereunder. If at any time the principal of, and interest upon, any portion of the Loans exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Limit or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus Letter of Credit Exposure, Borrower shall immediately repay the Loans in the amount to eliminate such excess; and (c) Borrower hereby instructs Lender to repay the Loans on any day in an amount equal to the amount received by Lender on such day pursuant to Section 6.2.

Section 2.4    Disbursement of Loans. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the Loans requested, or deemed to be requested, pursuant to this Article II as follows: (i) each advance requested under Section 2.2(a) shall be disbursed by Lender in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, (a) in the case of the initial advance under the Loan, in accordance with the written instructions from Borrower to Lender, and (b) in the case of each subsequent advance, to a deposit account owned by Borrower and designated in writing by Borrower to Lender; and (ii) the proceeds of each advance requested under Section 2.2(b) shall be distributed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

Section 2.5    Deemed Requests for Loans to Pay Required Payments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amount payable hereunder, including all reimbursements for expenses pursuant to Section 11.2, may be paid from the proceeds of Loans, whether made pursuant to a request by Borrower or a deemed request as provided herein. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any Loan for the purpose of paying principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, including reimbursing costs or expenses for which Borrower is obligated under the Loan Documents, whether or not any condition precedent specified by Article IV has been satisfied, and agrees that all Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.6    Letters of Credit.

(i)Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred, at the request of Borrower, Lender may arrange for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of Borrower and guarantees of payment of such letters of credit, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion (each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters of Credit").

(ii)Borrower shall give Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice requesting the issuance of any Letter of Credit, specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, identifying the beneficiary to which such Letter of Credit relates and describing the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby.

(iii)The aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from time to time shall not to exceed the lesser of:
(A)the Borrowing Base determined by Lender from time to time minus the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Exposure at such time; and

(B)$1,500,000.

(iv)Borrower shall pay all bank charges for the issuance of Letters of Credit, together with the following fees (collectively, the "L/C Fee"):

(A)one percent (1.00%) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit on the issuance date of such Letter of Credit and each anniversary thereof; and

(B)a $400 processing fee on the issuance date of each Letter of Credit.





The L/C Fee shall be deemed to be fully earned and shall be due and payable in full upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit. Any advance by Lender under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall constitute an Obligation hereunder.

(v)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the issuing bank or Lender (upon Lender becoming aware thereof) shall notify Borrower thereof. Not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the issuing bank or Lender under or with respect to a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), Borrower shall reimburse the issuer of the Letter of Credit or Lender, as applicable, in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse such Person by such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to amount of the unreimbursed drawing. Any notice given by the issuing bank or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(v) may be given by telephone to a Responsible Officer if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(vi)The expiration of any Letter of Credit shall not be later than the earlier of:

(A)one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; or

(B)thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

(vii)Immediately upon the Facility Termination Date, Borrower shall:

(B)cause to be delivered to Lender releases of all of Lender's obligations under all then-outstanding Letters of Credit.

(viii)The Lender shall not be under any obligation to arrange the issuance of any Letter of Credit if:
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the issuing bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the issuing bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the issuing bank shall prohibit, or request that the issuing bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the issuing bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the issuing bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Agreement Date, or shall impose upon the issuing bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Agreement Date and which the issuing bank in good faith deems material to it;

(B)the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the issuing bank applicable to letters of credit generally; or

(C)the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(ix)Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the issuing bank, Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the issuing bank nor Lender shall be responsible to Borrower for, and the issuing bank and Lender's rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the issuing bank or





Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where the issuing bank, Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(x)At Lender's Permitted Discretion, any proceeds of Collateral received by Lender may be held as the cash collateral required by this Section 2.6.

(xi)Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by Lender, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit. Borrower agrees to be bound by the issuing bank's regulations and reasonable interpretations (from the standpoint of a secured lender) of any Letters of Credit guaranteed by Lender and opened for Borrower's account or by Lender's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Lender for Borrower's account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that Lender may indemnify the bank issuing a Letter of Credit for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Lender (other than a loss, cost, expense or liability caused by Lender's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) under any such indemnification by Lender to any issuing bank.

(xii)Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Such unused line fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the next calendar month until the Facility Termination Date and on the Facility Termination Date (pro-rated for any period of less than one calendar month). The parties hereto agree that such unused line fee constitutes reasonable consideration for Lender’s taking of appropriate actions to be able to make available to Borrower the amount of the Facility Limit for such period.

Lender shall be entitled to charge Borrower for one (1) Business Day of “float” at the Contract Rate, or if Lender so elects after an Event of Default has occurred, at the Default Rate, on all collections, checks, wire transfers, or other items of payment that are received by Lender. This across-the-board float charge on all receipts is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of Lender's facility to Borrower, and shall apply irrespective of the level of Borrower's Obligations to Lender.

(e)    Expenses. The expenses as set forth in Section 11.2.

Section 3.3    Manner of Payment.

(a)    Timing. Each payment by Borrower on account of the Obligations payable to Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (Los Angeles, California, time) on the applicable due date (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, provided that interest shall continue to accrue until such payment is made). All payments shall be made to Lender at Lender’s Office, in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.

(b)    Charging Accounts.

(b)    Early Termination. If (i) Borrower terminates this Agreement prior to the Maturity Date for any reason whatsoever or (ii) Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder terminates (whether automatically under Section 10.2(a) or by action of Lender pursuant to Section 10.2(b), Borrower acknowledges





that such termination would result in the loss to Lender of the benefits of this Agreement and, as a result thereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender an early termination fee in the amount provided in Section 3.2(e).

Section 3.5    Evidence of Debt.

(a)    At the request of Lender, the Loans shall be further evidenced by one or more promissory notes.
(b)    Lender shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan extended hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any payment received by Lender hereunder from Borrower.
(c)    The entries in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsection (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded, provided, however, that the failure of Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

Section 3.6    Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If Lender reasonably determines that the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender is increased as a result of a Change in Law, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand for payment by Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement and any facility hereunder.

Section 3.7    Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Lender shall deliver a written statement to Borrower as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.6.

Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of Borrower under Section 3.6 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.8    Maximum Interest; Controlling Limitation.

(a)    Lender and Borrower each acknowledges, agrees, and declares that it is its intention to expressly comply with all Applicable Law in respect of limitations on the amount or rate of interest that can legally be contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document (even if any such provision expressly declares that it controls all other provisions of the Loan Documents), in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount of interest (including the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits, or other compensation which constitutes interest under any Applicable Law) under the Loan Documents paid by Borrower, received by Lender or agreed to be paid by Borrower, or requested or demanded to be paid by Lender exceed the Maximum Rate, and all provisions of the Loan Documents in respect of the contracting for, charging, or receiving compensation for the use, forbearance, or detention of money shall be limited as provided by this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all interest paid, or agreed to be paid, by Borrower, or taken, reserved, or received by Lender shall be amortized, prorated, spread, and allocated in respect of the Obligations throughout the full term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other related documents executed pursuant hereto, Lender shall never be entitled to charge, receive, take, reserve, collect, or apply as interest any amount which, together with all other interest under the Loan Documents would result in a rate of interest under the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Rate and, in the event Lender ever charges, receives, takes, reserves, collects, or applies any amount in respect of Borrower that otherwise would, together with all other interest under the Loan Documents, be in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall automatically be deemed to be applied in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations other than interest and, if the principal balance thereof is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be refunded to Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees that the actual effective rate of interest from time to time existing under the Loan Documents,





including all amounts agreed to by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Documents which may be deemed to be interest under any Applicable Law, shall be deemed to be a rate which is agreed to and stipulated by Borrower and Lender in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b)    To the maximum extent permitted under any Applicable Law, Borrower and Lender shall (i) characterize any non-principal payment as a standby fee, commitment fee, prepayment charge, delinquency charge, expense, or reimbursement for a third-party expense rather than as interest and (ii) exclude prepayments, acceleration, and the effect thereof.

(c)    Subject to Section 3.8(a), after any period during which the limitations prescribed by Section 3.8(a) have limited the applicable rate of interest on the Obligations to the Maximum Rate when, absent such limitations, such applicable rate would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then, thereafter, the rate of interest applicable to the Obligations shall instead be deemed to be, and shall remain at, the Maximum Rate (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 3.8(a)), until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been lawfully contracted, charged or received in the absence of the limitation prescribed by Section 3.8(a).
