18. Loan and Security Agreement

On August 9, 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Loan Agreement) with SVB providing that in return for paying an up front fee of $52,250 the Company has access to up to $7 million of financing in the form of (i) revolving loans, (ii) letters of credit, (iii) foreign exchange contracts and (iv) cash management services such as merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card and check cashing services. Advances under the Loan Agreement cannot exceed a borrowing base limit calculated using (A) an advanced rate of 80% on the Company's eligible accounts and (B) an advanced rate of 25% on the Company's eligible inventory (subject to a limit of the lesser of (a) $2 million and (b) 30% of all outstanding advances), subject to certain reserves established by SVB and other adjustments. The aggregate amount of outstanding letters of credit, foreign exchange contract financing and amounts utilized for cash management services cannot exceed a sublimit of $750,000 in the aggregate at any time.

Interest on advances of credit under the Loan Agreement for: (i) financed accounts receivables is equal to (a) SVB’s prime rate, which is currently 3.25% per annum, plus 3.0% per annum or (b) if the Company maintains at all times during any month an adjusted quick ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, then SVB’s prime rate plus 1.50% per annum; and (ii) financed inventory is equal to (a) SVB’s prime rate plus 5.25% per annum or (b) if the Company maintains at all times during any month an adjusted quick ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, then SVB’s prime rate plus 3.25% per annum. The minimum monthly interest charge is $4,000 per month. The Loan Agreement will be used by the Company to support its current working capital needs.

The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's properties, rights and assets, including substantially all of its equipment, inventory, receivables, intellectual property and general intangibles.

The Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties for credit facilities of this type. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains a number of covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company's operations, including restrictions pertaining to, among other things: (i) the condition of inventory; (ii) maintenance of an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.0; (iii) intellectual property right protection and registration; (iv) dispositions of assets; (v) changes in business, management, ownership or business locations; (vi) mergers, consolidations or acquisitions; (vii) incurrence or assumption of indebtedness; (viii) incurrence of liens on any of the Company's property; (ix) paying dividends or making distributions on, or redemptions, retirements or repurchases of, capital stock; (x) transactions with affiliates; and (xi) payments on or amendments to subordinated debt.

The Loan Agreement also contains events of default customary for credit facilities of this type with, in some cases, corresponding grace periods, including, (i) failure to pay any principal or interest when due, (ii) failure to comply with covenants, (iii) any material adverse change occurring, (iv) an attachment, levy or restraint on our business, (v) certain bankruptcy or insolvency events , (vi) payment defaults relating to, or acceleration of, other indebtedness or that could result in a material adverse change to the Company's business, (vii) the Company or its subsidiaries becoming subject to judgments, claims or liabilities in an amount individually or in aggregate in excess of $150,000 (viii) any misrepresentations, or (ix) any revocation, invalidation, breach or invalidation of any subordinated debt.

The Loan Agreement will expire on August 8, 2012. The Loan Agreement may be terminated prior to August 8, 2012; however, the Company would be required to pay a $70,000 early termination fee in connection with a termination (i) by the Company for any reason or (ii) by SVB upon notice and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default.

On September 28, 2011, the Company executed a First Loan Modification Agreement (the Loan Modification) with Silicon Valley Bank, amending the Loan Agreement. The Loan Modification removed the $750,000 sublimit for outstanding letters of credit, foreign exchange contract financing and amounts utilized for cash management services, making the full $7 million credit facility available for financing accounts receivable and eligible inventory. All remaining terms of the Loan and Security Agreement remain in full force and effect.
