1 The Disbursement Amount is the amount of capital that a business receives and may be different from the Loan Amount. The Disbursement Amount is net of fees withheld from the Loan Amount. A portion of the Disbursement Amount may be used to pay off any amounts owed from a prior loan or an amount owed to a third party. 2 Your business may incur other fees that are not a condition of borrowing, such as late payment fees, returned payment fees, or monthly maintenance fees. Those fees are not reflected here. See the agreement for details on these fees (see "Other Fees" above). 3 APR should be considered in conjunction with the Total Cost of Capital. APR may be most useful when comparing financing solutions of similar expected duration. APR is
calculated here according to the principles of 12 C.F.R. § 1026 (Regulation Z), using 52 payment periods of equal length and 52 payment dates per year for weekly pay products, and 252 payment dates per year for daily pay products. |

CERTAIN DISCLOSURES |
|
Loan Pricing Disclosure |
Lender uses a system of risk-based pricing to determine interest charges and fees. Risk- based pricing is a system that evaluates the risk factors of your application and adjusts the interest rate up or down based on this risk evaluation. Although Lender believes that its loan process provides expedited turnaround time and efficient access to capital, this loan may be a higher cost loan than loans that may be available through other lenders. |
Loan For Specific Purposes Only |
The proceeds of the requested Loan may solely be used for the specific purposes as set forth in the Use of Proceeds Certification of the Business Loan and Security Agreement. IN ADDITION, THE LOAN WILL NOT BE USED FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. Borrower understands that Borrower's agreement not to use the Loan proceeds for personal, family or household purposes means that certain important duties imposed upon entities making loans for consumer/personal purposes, and certain important rights conferred upon consumers, pursuant to federal or state law will not apply to this transaction. |
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2955.5. |
California Civil Code Section 2955.5(a) provides that “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.” Borrower acknowledges having received disclosure of the contents of such provision prior to execution of any of the Loan Documents in accordance with California Civil Code Section 2955.5(b). |

of the requested Loan may solely be used for the specific purposes as set forth in the Use of Proceeds Certification contained in Section 50 below, and not for any other purposes. In addition, the Loan will not be used for personal, family or household purposes, and Borrower and Guarantors are forever estopped from taking the position that such Loan (including Advances) are or were used for such personal, family or household purposes. Borrower understands that Borrower's agreement not to use the Loan proceeds for personal, family or household purposes means that certain important duties imposed upon entities making loans for personal, family or household purposes, and certain important rights conferred upon such persons, pursuant to federal or state law will not apply to the Loan or the Agreement. Borrower also understands that Lender will be unable to confirm whether the use of the Loan conforms to this section. Borrower agrees that a breach by Borrower of the provisions of this section will not affect Lender's right to
owed under this Agreement, regardless of the purpose for which the Loan is in fact obtained or (ii) use any remedy legally available to Lender, even if that

Borrower applied and was approved for a Loan, Borrower's Loan will be disbursed upon approval as provided in the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits). Borrower agrees to maintain Direct Payments (ACH Debits) in its operating account which is the account that was reviewed in conjunction with underwriting and approval of this Loan (including keeping such account open until the Total Repayment Amount had been completely repaid).

If Borrower makes an alternative payment on Borrower's Loan by mail or by any pay-by-phone or on-line service that Lender makes available while Borrower is enrolled in the Automatic Payment Plan, Lender may treat such payment as an additional payment and continue to process Borrower's scheduled Automatic Payment Plan payments or may reduce any scheduled Automatic Payment Plan payment by the amount of any such additional payment received.
PAYMENTS. Lender can accept late, postdated or partial payments without losing any of Lender's rights under this Agreement (a postdated check is a check dated later than the day it was actually presented for payment). Lender is under no obligation to hold a postdated check and Lender reserves the right to process every item presented as if dated the same date received by Lender or Lender's check processor unless Borrower gives Lender adequate notice and a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Except where such notice and opportunity is given, Borrower may not hold Lender liable for depositing any postdated check. Borrower agrees not to send Lender partial payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Agreement. All notices and written communications concerning postdated checks, restricted endorsement checks (including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount) or any other disputed, nonconforming or qualified payments, must be mailed or delivered to LendSpark Corporation, 2554 Gateway Rd., Carlsbad, CA 92009, Attn: Customer Service.

agrees that Lender and/or Lender's Representative may file any financing statement, lien entry form or other document Lender and/or Lender's Representative requires in order to perfect, amend or continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral and Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender and Lender's Representative as may be necessary to accomplish said filing and to do whatever Lender and Lender's Representative deems necessary to protect Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower and Guarantor each agree that, if any Guarantor is a corporate entity, then Lender or Lender's Representative may file any financing statement, lien entry form or other document against such Guarantor or its property that Lender and/or Lender's Representative requires in order to perfect, amend or continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Any such Guarantor agrees to cooperate with Lender and Lender's Representative as may be necessary to accomplish said filing and to do whatever Lender or Lender's Representative deems necessary to protect Lender's security interest in the Collateral. In this Agreement, "Lender's Representative" means any entity or individual that is designated by Lender to serve in such capacity.

Unless Lender has agreed otherwise in writing, Borrower agrees and warrants that (i) all Collateral (or records of the Collateral in the case of accounts, chattel paper and general intangibles) shall be located at Borrower's address as shown in the application, (ii) except for inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, Borrower shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral, (iii) no one else has any interest in or claim against the Collateral that Borrower has not already told Lender about, (iv) Borrower shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this Agreement and (v) Borrower shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral for less than the fair market value thereof. Borrower shall defend Lender's rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons. All proceeds from any unauthorized disposition of the Collateral shall be held in trust for Lender, shall not be co- mingled with any other funds and shall immediately be delivered to Lender. This requirement, however, does not constitute consent by Lender to any such disposition.

Lender and Lender's designated representatives and agents shall have the right during Borrower's normal business hours and at any other reasonable time to examine the Collateral wherever located and the interior and exterior of any Borrower place of business. During an examination of any Borrower place of business, Lender may examine, among other things, whether Borrower (i) has a place of business that is separate from any personal residence, (ii) is open for business, (iii) has sufficient inventory to conduct Borrower's business and (iv) has one or more credit card terminals if Borrower processes credit card transactions. When performing an examination, Lender may photograph the interior and exterior of any Borrower place of business, including any signage, and may photograph any individual who has signed the Agreement ("Signatory") unless the Signatory previously has notified Lender that he or she does not authorize Lender to photograph the Signatory. Lender may obtain testimonials from any Signatory, including testimonials on why Borrower needed the Loan and how the Loan has helped Borrower. Any photograph and testimonial will become and remain the sole property of Lender. Borrower and each Signatory grant Lender the irrevocable and permanent right to display and share any photograph and testimonial in all forms and media, including composite and modified representations, for all purposes, including but not limited to any trade or commercial purpose, with any Lender employees and agents and with the general public.

Page 57

Initial
Initial
This Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits) is part of (and incorporated by reference into) the Business Loan and Security Agreement. Borrower should keep this important legal document for Borrower's records.
DISBURSMENT OF LOAN PROCEEDS. By executing this Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits), Borrower authorizes Lender to disburse the Loan proceeds less the amount of any applicable fees upon Loan approval by initiating an ACH credit, wire transfer or similar means to the checking account indicated herein (or a substitute checking account Borrower later identifies and is acceptable to Lender) (hereinafter referred to as the "Designated Checking Account") in the disbursal amount set forth in the accompanying Business Loan and Security Agreement Supplement. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Lender has received written notification from Borrower of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford Lender and Borrower's depository bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Borrower represents that Borrower is the owner of the Designated Checking Account.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PLAN. Enrollment in Lender's Automatic Payment Plan is required for Loan approval. By executing this Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits), Borrower agrees to, and hereby, enrolls in the Automatic Payment Plan and authorizes Lender to collect payments required under the terms of Borrower's Business Loan and Security Agreement by initiating ACH debit entries to the Designated Checking Account in the amounts and on the dates provided in the payment schedule set forth in the accompanying Business Loan and Security Agreement Supplement. Borrower authorizes Lender to increase the amount of any scheduled ACH debit entry or assess multiple ACH debits for the amount of any previously scheduled payment(s) that was not paid as provided in the payment schedule and any unpaid Fees. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Lender has received written notification from Borrower of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford Lender and Borrower's depository bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Lender may suspend or terminate Borrower's enrollment in the Automatic Payment Plan immediately if Borrower fails to keep Borrower's designated checking account in good standing or if there are insufficient funds in Borrower's checking account to process any payment (or if Lender is otherwise unable to collect any amounts by ACH debit owed to Lender under the Loan or under any other loan or extension of credit by Lender to Borrower). If Borrower revokes the authorization or Lender suspends or terminates Borrower's enrollment in the Automatic Payment Plan, Borrower still will be responsible for making timely payments pursuant to the alternative payment methods described in the Business Loan and Security Agreement.
Provisional Payment. Credit given by us to you with respect to an automated clearing house ("ACH") credit entry is provisional until
we receive final settlement for such entry through a Federal Reserve Bank. If we do not receive such final settlement, you are hereby notified and agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with such entry, and the party making to you via such entry (i.e. the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry.
Notice of Receipt of Entry. Under the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, which are applicable to ACH transactions involving your account, we are not required to give next day notice to you of receipt of an ACH item and we will not do so. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statement we provide to you.
BUSINESS PURPOSE ACCOUNT. By executing this Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits), Borrower attests that the Designated Checking Account was established for business purposes and not primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
ACCOUNT CHANGES. Borrower agrees to promptly notify Lender in writing if there are any changes to the account and routing numbers of the Designated Checking Account.
MISCELLANEOUS. Lender is not responsible for any fees charged by Borrower's bank as the result of credits or debits initiated under this agreement. The origination of ACH transactions to Borrower's account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. Borrower agrees to be bound by NACHA rules of the Electronic Payments Association. Borrower agrees to provide to Lender at all times, "Live Contemporaneous Access" to all of its bank accounts in order for Lender to evaluate Borrower's compliance with the Agreement, and for collections in the Event of Default ("Borrower's Accounts"). "Live Contemporaneous Access" shall be defined as: Borrower, at all times and including but not limited to, providing Lender with accurate login information necessary to access all of Borrower's Accounts, such as usernames and passwords, answers to challenge questions, and security tokens. Borrower shall provide notice to Lender in the event Borrower makes any changes to the Designated Checking Account, including in the event Borrower closes the Designated Checking Account.
