AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises set forth

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Investment. The Investor hereby tenders the Investor's check payable to
"Redline Performance Products, Inc." in the aggregate dollar amount set forth on
the Signature Page to purchase:
a. a 10% Secured Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note (the "BRIDGE
NOTE"), in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A attached to and
incorporated into this Agreement, which is convertible into securities
of the Company as may be offered to the Investor, or to other potential
investors, from time to time (the "CONVERSION SECURITIES"), in the
principal dollar amount set forth on the Signature Page and
b. a warrant (the "BRIDGE WARRANT") in substantially the form of
EXHIBIT B attached to and incorporated into this Agreement, to purchase
Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of the Company's $0.01 par value per
share common stock (the "COMMON STOCK") for every $100,000 in principal
amount of the Bridge Note (the "WARRANT SHARES").
c. In addition, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
(collectively, the "FOUNDERS'") will collectively sell to each Investor
25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock currently held by the
Founders' (the "FOUNDERS' SHARES"), at a price of $0.01 per share, for
every $100,000 in principal dollar amount of the Bridge Notes. One half
(50%) of the Founders' Shares will be issued upon closing of this
Bridge Placement. The balance of the Founders' Shares will be issued
upon conversion of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes into equity
securities of the Company. If there is no conversion of the Bridge Note
into equity securities of the Company, the right to purchase the
remaining one half (50%) of the Founders' Shares will be forfeited.
d. The Bridge Note is secured by certain collateral of the Company
pursuant to a security agreement (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"), in
substantially the form of EXHIBIT C attached to and incorporated into
this Agreement.
e. The information contained in this Agreement is only a summary of the
terms and provisions of the Bridge Notes, the Bridge Warrants and the
Security Agreement, and is qualified by more detailed information
included in the form of Bridge Note, the form of Bridge Warrant and the
form of Security
1.
Agreement. If the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of
the Bridge Note, the Bridge Warrant or the Security Agreement, the
terms of the Bridge Note, the Bridge Warrant and Security Agreement
shall control. By execution of this Agreement, the Investor
acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the accuracy and
completeness of the representations contained in this Agreement in
complying with its obligations under applicable securities laws. The
Bridge Note, the Bridge Warrant, the Founders' Shares, the Conversion
Securities and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to in this
Agreement as the "SECURITIES."
f. If the Investor purchases a Bridge Note in an amount which is not
divisible by $100,000, the Investor shall receive a pro rata number of
Founders' Shares and Warrant Shares under the Bridge Note based on the
amount of the Bridge Note.
2. Loan/Promissory Note. The Investor agrees, on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, to purchase a Bridge Note in the principal
amount set forth on the Signature Page. The Company agrees to issue in the name

interest on the Bridge Notes shall be due and payable by the Company on the date
One Hundred Twenty (120) days from the date of original issuance of the Bridge
Note (the "MATURITY DATE" or "MATURITY".) The Bridge Note shall accrue interest
at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly.
4. Subordination. The payment of principal and interest under the Bridge Note is
subordinated to the payment by the Company of any amounts due to any bank or
other commercial lender pursuant to any existing or future loan. The Investor's
rights in any collateral shall also be subordinate to any security interest
requested by a bank or other commercial lender providing a loan to the Company
in the future. Payment of principal or interest may not be made on the Bridge
Note if the Company is in default, or if the making of any payment would result
in a default, with respect to the payment of amounts of any bank or commercial

at their option and not subject to demand or notice, to declare all or any part
of the Bridge Notes immediately due and payable, and (b) the holders of Bridge
Notes may exercise, in addition to the rights and remedies granted in this
Agreement, all of the rights and remedies of a holder under the Bridge Note and
under applicable law. In addition, upon default, the interest rate of the Bridge
Note shall be 15% per annum, which rate shall apply from the date of the
original issuance of the Bridge Note.
7. Collateral. The Company will grant the Investors a security interest in the
Company's existing and future intellectual property and its tooling, pursuant to
a Security Agreement. This security interest in the collateral will also be used
to secure up to an additional Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) in convertible
debt which the Company anticipates it will receive on or before November 1, 2001
(the "FUTURE DEBT"). All Investors and Future Debt holders will have a security
interest in the collateral on a pari passu basis in proportion to the dollar
amount of Future Debt or Bridge Notes held.
2.
8. Bridge Warrant. In conjunction with the purchase of a Bridge Note by the
Investor, the Company will issue to the Investor a Bridge Warrant in
substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. The Bridge
Warrant will entitle the Investor to purchase Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of
Common Stock for every $100,000 in principal amount of the Bridge Notes. If the
Investor purchases a Bridge Note in an amount which is not divisible by
$100,000, the Investor shall receive a pro rata number of Warrant Shares under
the Bridge Note based on the amount of the Bridge Note. The Bridge Warrant will

Shares will be forfeited. If the Investor purchases a Bridge Note in an amount
which is not divisible by $100,000, the Investor shall receive a pro rata number
of Founders' Shares based on the amount of the Bridge Note.

that the Bridge Note, the Conversion Securities or the Bridge Warrant remain
outstanding, reserve and keep available from its authorized but unissued shares
of capital stock, a sufficient number of shares to issue the shares of capital
stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes or exercise of the Bridge

Investor in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act
and applicable state securities laws and in reliance on the Investor's and the

acquiring the Securities for the account of the Investor for investment purposes
only and not with a view to their resale or distribution. The Investor has no
present intention to divide his, her or its participation with others or to
resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities. In making
these representations, the Investor understands that, in the view of the
Commission, exemption of the Securities from the registration requirements of
the Act would not be available if, notwithstanding the representations of the
Investor, the Investor has in mind merely acquiring the Securities for resale
upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined event.
7.
16. Compliance with Securities Act. The Investor agrees that if the Securities
or any part thereof are sold or distributed in the future, the Investor shall
sell or distribute them pursuant to the requirements of the Act and applicable
state securities laws. The Investor agrees that the Investor will not transfer
any part of the Securities without: (i) obtaining a "no action" letter from the
Commission and applicable state securities commissions; (ii) obtaining an
opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the
effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the
Act and applicable state securities laws; or (iii) registration.
17. Restriction on Transfer After a Public Offering. The Investor understands
that the Company at a future date may file a registration or offering statement
(the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") with the Commission to facilitate a public
offering of its securities. The Investor agrees, for the benefit of the Company,
that should such an initial public offering be made and should the managing
underwriter of such offering require, the Investor will not, without the prior
written consent of the Company and such underwriter, during the "Lockup Period"
as defined herein: (i) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities beneficially owned by the
Investor during the Lockup Period; (ii) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of,
or agree to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any options, rights or
warrants to purchase any of the Securities beneficially owned by the Investor
during the Lockup Period; or (iii) sell or grant, or agree to sell or grant,
options, rights or warrants with respect to any of the Securities. The foregoing
does not prohibit gifts to donees or transfers by will or the laws of descent to
heirs or beneficiaries provided that such donees, heirs and beneficiaries shall
be bound by the restrictions set forth herein. The term "LOCKUP PERIOD" shall
mean the lesser of (x) 180 days and (y) the period during which Company officers
and directors are restricted by the managing underwriter from effecting any
sales or transfers of the Company's common stock. The Lockup Period shall
commence on the effective date of the Registration Statement.
18. Restrictive Legend. The Investor agrees that the Company may place one or
more restrictive legends on any certificates evidencing the Securities,
including the Conversion Shares, containing substantially the following
language:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, have not been registered
under any state securities law, and are subject to a subscription and
investment representation agreement. They may not be sold, offered for
sale, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise distributed for value
unless there is an effective registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and under the applicable state securities laws, or
the Company receives an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company
stating that such transaction is exempt from registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and under the applicable state securities laws.
Sale or other transfer of these securities is further restricted for up
to 180 days following an initial public offering of securities of the
Company by the terms of a Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is
available for inspection at the offices of the Company.
19. Stop Transfer Order. The Investor agrees that the Company may place a stop
transfer order with its registrar and transfer agent (if any) covering all
Securities.
20. Knowledge of Restrictions upon Transfer of the Securities. The Investor
understands that the Securities are not freely transferable and may in fact be
prohibited from sale for an extended period of time and that, as a consequence
thereof, the Investor must bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities for an
8.
indefinite period of time and may have extremely limited opportunities to
dispose of the Securities. The Investor realizes that there will likely be no
market for the Securities, and that there are significant restrictions on the
transferability thereof.
21. Lack of Availability of Rule 144 Under the Act.
a. The Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has no
obligation to undertake or complete a public offering of its
securities, that even if a public offering is undertaken and
successfully completed, the Securities subscribed for hereby will
remain subject to the restrictions on transferability described herein,
and that even if a public offering is undertaken and completed, the
Investor may never be able to sell its Securities pursuant to Rule 144
under the Act. The Investor further understands and acknowledges that
the Company currently does not file periodic reports with the
Commission pursuant to the requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and may not be obligated to file such
reports at any time in the future. The Investor also understands that
the Company has not agreed to supply such other information as would be
required to enable routine sales of the Securities to be made under the
provisions of certain rules respecting "restricted securities,"
including Rule 144 promulgated under the Act by the Commission. Thus,
the Investor has been informed that the Company is not obligated to
make publicly available or to provide the Investor with the information
required by Rule 144.
b. The Company shall deliver to each Investor who holds a Bridge Note
or Bridge Warrant, as soon as practicable, but in any event within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an income statement for such fiscal year and a balance sheet
of the Company as of the end of such year, such year-end financial
reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and audited and certified by
independent public accountants selected by the Company. The Company
shall also deliver to each Investor who holds a Bridge Note or Bridge
Warrant within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarter, an
unaudited income statement and balance sheet for and as of the end of
such quarter. The covenants set forth in this paragraph shall terminate
as to each holder of Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants and be of no
further force or effect immediately upon the Company becoming a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each
recipient of information under this paragraph agrees that any
information obtained pursuant to this paragraph will not be disclosed
without the prior written consent of the Company.
22. Relationship to Brokerage Firms. (Please answer the following questions by

the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns.
25. Representations to Survive Delivery. The representations, warranties and
agreements of the Company and of the Investor contained in this Agreement will
remain operative and in full force and effect and will survive the receipt of
funds by the Company, and the issuance to the Investor of the Bridge Notes and
Bridge Warrants.
26. Indemnification. The Investor agrees to indemnify the Company, and each
current and future officer, director, employee, agent and shareholder of the
Company, against and to hold them harmless from any damage, loss, liability,
claim or expense including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
resulting from or arising out of the inaccuracy or alleged inaccuracy of any of

investment in the Company (including without limitation claims pursuant
to federal or state securities laws), including any claim which is made
against any placement agent or broker-dealer involved in the offer or

10% SECURED CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE
$100,000.00 October 1, 2001
Note No.: ▇▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Redline Performance Products,
Inc., organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota, whose
mailing address is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and its successors
and assigns (the "BORROWER"), for value received, hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, individual, resident of the
State of California, having a mailing address of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and the successors and assigns (the "LENDER"), at
such place as may be designated from time to time by the Lender, the principal
sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), together with
accrued interest thereon, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded
monthly, at or before 5:00 p.m. Vista, California time on the date one hundred
twenty (120) days after the date of this Note ("MATURITY DATE"). This promissory
note (the "BRIDGE NOTE") is being issued in connection with a placement of
Bridge Notes and warrants to purchase shares of the Borrower's common stock (the
"BRIDGE WARRANT") being conducted by the Borrower to raise up to $500,000
pursuant to the terms of a Bridge Loan and Investment Agreement. This Bridge
Note and the Lender are entitled to all the benefits provided for in the Bridge
Loan and Investment Agreement, pursuant to which this indebtedness was incurred
and is to be repaid. The provisions of the Bridge Loan and Investment Agreement
are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if fully
set forth herein.
1. Payment. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on this Bridge Note
shall be due and payable on or before the Maturity Date. All payments under this
Section shall be made by
check mailed by the Borrower to the address of the Lender set forth above.
Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Bridge Note shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If the
Borrower fails to pay all amounts outstanding under this Bridge Note on the
Maturity Date, the rate of interest under this Bridge Note shall be increased to
fifteen percent (15%) per annum and shall accrue from the date of this Bridge
Note until payment in full of all amounts due under this Bridge Note.
2. Subordination; Security. The term "SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS" shall mean all
principal of (and premium of, if any) and unpaid interest on all indebtedness of
the Borrower, and with respect to which the Borrower is a guarantor (but
excluding indebtedness guaranteed solely for the benefit of officers, directors,
employees or consultants of the Borrower), and except as provided to the
contrary herein, regardless of whether incurred on, before or after the date of
this Bridge Note: (i) for money borrowed from any bank, insurance company, or
other lending institution regularly engaged in the business of lending money,
whether or not secured; and (ii) in connection with any deferral, renewal or
extension of any indebtedness described in (i) above or any debentures, notes,
or other evidence of the Borrower's indebtedness issued in exchange for
indebtedness described in (i) above. The Borrower covenants and agrees and the
Lender, by acceptance hereof, covenants, expressly for the benefit of the
present and future holders of Senior Indebtedness, that the payment of the
principal and the interest on this Bridge Note is expressly subordinated in
right of payment to the payment in full of all principal and interest of Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of
principal or interest may be made hereunder unless the Borrower is in default,
or if the making of any payment hereunder would result in a default, with
respect to the payment of amounts of any Senior Indebtedness. Borrower's
repayment of all amounts outstanding under this Bridge Note shall be secured as
provided in that certain Security Agreement by and among Borrower and Lender.
3. Conversion. At the election of the Lender, all of the principal and accrued
interest payable pursuant to this Bridge Note may be converted into debt or
equity securities of the Borrower as may be offered to the Lender, or to other
potential lenders or investors of the Borrower, after the date of this Bridge
Note (the "CONVERSION SECURITIES"). The conversion price shall be the price at
which the Borrower is selling debt or equity securities to lenders or investors
or, if no such sales are taking place, the conversion price shall be the most
recent fair market price at which the Borrower has sold shares of common stock
or granted rights to purchase shares of common stock. Upon conversion the Lender
shall surrender this Bridge Note at the principal office of the Borrower. The
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the
date the Lender surrenders the Bridge Note at the principal office of the
Borrower. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any conversion
of this Bridge Note. In lieu of any fractional share which would otherwise be
issuable, the Borrower shall pay cash. The conversion price shall be
appropriately adjusted in the event of any stock split, recapitalization or
similar transaction.
4. Compliance with Securities Laws and Other Transfer Restrictions.
a. The Lender, by acceptance hereof, agrees, represents and warrants
that this Bridge Note and the Conversion Securities which may be issued
upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment, that the Lender
has no present intention to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any
part of this Bridge Note or any Conversion Securities, and that the
Lender will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
2
part of this Bridge Note or any Conversion Securities except under
circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities
Act of 1933 or applicable state securities laws. The Borrower may
condition any transfer, sale, pledge, assignment or other disposition
on the receipt, from the party to whom this Bridge Note is to be so
transferred or to whom Conversion Securities are to be issued or so
transferred, of any representations and agreements requested by the
Borrower in order to permit such issuance or transfer to be made
pursuant to exemptions from registration under federal and applicable
state securities laws. Upon conversion of this Bridge Note, the Lender
shall, if requested by the Borrower, confirm in writing Lender's
investment purpose and acceptance of the restrictions on transfer of
the Conversion Securities, as well as any representations and
agreements requested by the Borrower in order to permit the issuance of
Conversion Securities to be made pursuant to exemptions from
registration under federal and applicable state securities laws.
b. If the Borrower conducts an Initial Public Offering of its Common
Stock, the Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Borrower and the managing underwriter in such offering: (i) sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Bridge Note or Conversion Securities; (ii)
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any right to purchase the Bridge Note or
Conversion Securities; or (iii) sell or grant, or agree to sell or
grant, options, rights or warrants with respect to the Bridge Note or
Conversion Securities. Such restrictions shall be effective for a
period of time equal to the period during which the managing
underwriter imposes such transfer restrictions on the Borrower's
officers and directors; provided, that in no event shall the restricted
period applicable to a Lender exceed one hundred eighty (180) days
after effectiveness of the Borrower's registration statement filed
under the Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect
to such offering.
c. In the event the Lender desires to transfer this Bridge Note, the
Lender shall provide the Borrower with a Form of Assignment, in the
form attached hereto describing the manner of such transfer, and an
opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) that the
proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification
under applicable securities laws, whereupon such Lender shall be
entitled to transfer this Bridge Note in accordance with the notice
delivered by the Lender to the Borrower. If, in the opinion of the
counsel referred to in this Subsection, the proposed transfer or
disposition described in the written notice given may not be effected
without registration or qualification of this Bridge Note, the Borrower
shall give written notice thereof to the Lender, and the Lender will
limit its activities in respect to such proposed transfer or
disposition as, in the opinion of such counsel, are permitted by law.
d. The Borrower may place one or more restrictive legends on the
certificates representing the Conversion Securities which set forth the
restrictions contained herein, and may further place a "stop transfer"
restriction in the Borrower's books and records with respect to the
Bridge Note and any Conversion Securities. The restrictions set forth
in this Bridge Note shall be binding upon any Lender, donee, assignee
or transferee of the Bridge Note or the Conversion Securities.
5. Rights as Shareholder. Until one or more stock certificates representing the
Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of this Bridge Note are issued
(as evidenced by the
3
appropriate entry on the books of the Borrower or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Borrower), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a shareholder of the Borrower shall exist, notwithstanding conversion
of the Bridge Note. No such stock certificates will be issued until the Bridge
Note and all other documents and information requested by the Borrower are
delivered to the Borrower.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
a. No amendment hereunder shall be effective unless in writing signed
by the Borrower and the Lender and no waiver hereunder shall be
effective unless in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Neither
the failure on the part of the Lender in exercising any right or
remedy, nor any single or partial exercise of any other right or
remedy, shall operate as a waiver. The acceptance by the Lender of any
payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due
and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver
of the right to exercise any of the options hereunder at that time or
at any subsequent time.
b. The Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for
payment, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of
protest, and any and all other demands in connection with the delivery,
acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Bridge Note.
c. The terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the respective successors and assigns of the Borrower
and Lender. This Bridge Note shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without
giving effect to such state's choice of law principles.
d. No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any interest on
this Bridge Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect
hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Borrower in any Bridge Note, or because of the
creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director as such, past,
present or future, of the Borrower or of any successor corporation
either directly or through the Borrower or any successor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
e. The Borrower covenants that all Conversion Securities that may be
issued upon the conversion of this Bridge Note, if equity, will, upon
payment and issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Borrower's capital stock.
f. Upon receipt by the Borrower of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Bridge Note,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Borrower
of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Bridge Note, if mutilated, the Borrower will make
and deliver a new Bridge Note of like tenor and dates as of such
cancellation, in lieu of this Bridge Note.
4
g. This Bridge Note has been issued pursuant to and is subject to the
terms and provisions of that certain Bridge Loan and Investment
Agreement of even date herewith between the Borrower and the Lender,
the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference
with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein. To the
extent the terms of the Bridge Note and the Bridge Loan and Investment
Agreement are inconsistent, the terms of this Bridge Note shall
control.
h. All notices and other communications shall be by certified mail,
return receipt requested, or by overnight delivery service to the
address furnished to the Borrower in writing by the last Lender of this
Bridge Note who shall have furnished an address to the Borrower in
writing. Delivery shall be deemed to have occurred on the date three
(3) days after depositing the notice in the U.S. mail or one (1) day
after delivery of such notice to a reputable overnight delivery
service.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Bridge Note to be
executed by its authorized representative, who certifies that he has all
necessary authority on behalf of the Borrower to execute this Bridge Note and
bind the Borrower to the terms hereof.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Bridge Warrant No. RB-2 Shares: 50,000
THIS CERTIFIES that, subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, an individual, or his registered assigns (the "HOLDER")
is entitled to purchase from REDLINE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC., a
Minnesota
corporation (the "COMPANY"), at any time or from time to time prior to the time
and date set forth above, Fifty Thousand (50,000) fully paid and non-assessable
shares of common stock of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK"). Such shares of
Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of this Bridge Warrant are
referred to as the "SHARES").
This Bridge Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the
purchase price of one Share shall be One and 25/100 Dollars ($1.25).
The purchase price of one Share is referred to herein as the "BRIDGE
WARRANT PRICE."
2. Adjustment of Bridge Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and
kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Bridge Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
a. Adjustment for Stock Dividends, Splits and Consolidations. In
case the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding
Common Stock into a greater number
of shares or declare a dividend payable in Common Stock, the
Bridge Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall proportionately reduced, and conversely, in
case the outstanding Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Bridge Warrant exercise price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
b. Adjustment for Reorganizations or Consolidations. If any
capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall
be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets
("substituted property") with respect to or in exchange for
such Common Stock, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale, the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in
this Bridge Warrant and in lieu of the Common Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such
substituted property as would have been issued or delivered to
the Holder if it had exercised this Bridge Warrant and had
received upon exercise of this Bridge Warrant the Shares prior
to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale, less the amount of the Bridge Warrant Price.
3. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any exercise of this Bridge Warrant. In lieu
of any fractional Shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company
shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
as determined in good faith by the Company.
4. No Stockholder Rights. This Bridge Warrant shall not entitle its Holder
to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise
of this Bridge Warrant.
5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants that during the period
this Bridge Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of
this Bridge Warrant. The Company further covenants that all Shares that
may be issued upon the exercise of this Bridge Warrant will, upon
payment and issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock.
6. Exercise of Bridge Warrant. This Bridge Warrant may be exercised by the
registered Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Bridge
Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the form
of exercise hereof duly executed, accompanied by payment in full of the
amount of the aggregate Bridge Warrant Price in: (a) cash; (b)
cashier's check; or (c) bank draft. Upon partial exercise hereof, a new
Bridge Warrant or Bridge Warrants containing the same date and
provisions as this Bridge Warrant shall be issued by the Company to the
registered Holder for the number of Shares of Common Stock with respect
to which this Bridge Warrant shall not have been exercised. Upon each
exercise of this Bridge Warrant the Holder shall exercise this Bridge
Warrant and
2
purchase the lesser of 100 Shares and the balance of Shares available
for issuance under the Bridge Warrant. A Bridge Warrant shall be deemed
to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on
the date the Company is in receipt of this Bridge Warrant, written
notice of exercise, and payment for the number of Shares being acquired
upon exercise of this Bridge Warrant. The person entitled to receive
the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the Holder of such Shares of record as of the close of
business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such
date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons
entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the
number of full Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share, as provided
above.
7. Additional Right to Convert Bridge Warrant.
a. The holder of this Bridge Warrant shall have the right to
require the Company to convert this Bridge Warrant (the
"CONVERSION RIGHT") at any time prior to its expiration into
shares of Common Stock as provided for in this Section 7. Upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to
the holder (without payment by the holder of any Bridge
Warrant Price) the number of shares of Common Stock ("N")
determined based on the formula set forth below.
N = A - B
-----
C
For purposes of the Conversion Right, "A" is the aggregate
Fair Market Value for the Shares immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right, "B" is the aggregate
Exercise Price for the Shares in effect immediately prior to
the exercise of the Conversion Right, and "C" is the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to
the exercise of the Conversion Right.
b. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder, at any
time or from time to time, prior to its expiration, on any
business day by delivering a written notice in the form
attached hereto (the "CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Company at
the offices of the Company exercising the Conversion Right and
specifying (i) the total number of Shares the Holder will
purchase pursuant to such conversion and (ii) the name,
address and tax identification number of the entity or
individual in whose name the Shares are to be issued.
c. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, (i) the Holder will
surrender the Bridge Warrant, (ii) the Company will deliver to
the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of
Shares issuable upon such conversion, together with cash, in
lieu of any fraction of a share, and (iii) the Company will
deliver to the Holder a new Bridge Warrant representing the
number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Bridge
Warrant shall not have been exercised.
d. "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means, with respect to the Company's
Common Stock, as of any date: (i) if the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on any
national securities exchange or is not so listed or admitted
but
3
transactions in the Common Stock are reported on the Nasdaq
National Market, the reported closing price of the Common
Stock on such exchange or by the Nasdaq National Market as of
such date (or, if no shares were traded on such day, as of the
next preceding day on which there was such a trade); or (ii)
if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges or reported on the Nasdaq National Market,
and bid and asked prices therefor in the over-the-counter
market are reported by the Nasdaq system or National Quotation
Bureau, Inc. (or any comparable reporting system), the mean of
the closing bid and asked prices as of such date, as so
reported by the Nasdaq system, or, if not so reported thereon,
as reported by National Quotation Bureau, Inc. (or such
comparable reporting service); or (iii) if the Common Stock is
not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, or
reported on the Nasdaq National Market, and such bid and asked
prices are not so reported by the Nasdaq system or National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. (or any comparable reporting service),
such price as the Company's Board of Directors determines in
good faith in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.
8. Compliance with Securities Laws and Other Transfer Restrictions. The
Holder of this Bridge Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees, represents
and Bridge Warrants that this Bridge Warrant and the Shares which may
be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment, that
the Holder has no present intention to resell or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of this Bridge Warrant or any Shares, and that the
Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
this Bridge Warrant or any Shares except under circumstances which will
not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "ACT") or applicable state securities laws. The Company may
condition any transfer, sale, pledge, assignment or other disposition
on the receipt from the party to whom this Bridge Warrant is to be so
transferred or to whom Shares are to be issued or so transferred, on
any representations and agreements requested by the Company in order to
permit such issuance or transfer to be made pursuant to exemptions from
registration under federal and applicable state securities laws. Upon
exercise of this Bridge Warrant, the Holder hereof shall, if requested
by the Company, confirm in writing its investment purpose and
acceptance of the restrictions on transfer of the Shares.
9. Subdivision of Bridge Warrant. At the request of the Holder of this
Bridge Warrant in connection with a transfer or exercise of a portion
of the Bridge Warrant, upon surrender of such Bridge Warrant for such
purpose to the Company, the Company at its expense (except for any
transfer tax payable) will issue and exchange therefor Bridge Warrants
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase such number of Shares of such Common Stock as shall be
designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender; provided,
however, that the Company's obligations to subdivide securities under
this Paragraph shall be subject to and conditioned upon the compliance
of any such subdivision with applicable state securities laws and with
the Act.
10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Bridge Warrant. Upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Bridge Warrant, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable
4
expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
this Bridge Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Bridge Warrant of like tenor and dates as of such cancellation, in
lieu of this Bridge Warrant.
11. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions of the Bridge Warrant
and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way
limit, affect, or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its
corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of
Organization, reorganize or merge with or into another corporation, or
to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise
of any other of its corporate rights and powers.
12. Miscellaneous. This Bridge Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the
State of
Minnesota without regard to such state's conflict of laws
provisions. The headings in this Bridge Warrant are for purposes of
convenience and reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a
part hereof. Neither this Bridge Warrant nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an
instrument in writing signed by the Company and the registered Holder
hereof. All notices and other communications from the Company to the
Holder of this Bridge Warrant shall be by certified mail, return

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Bridge Warrant No. RB-14 Shares: 50,000
THIS CERTIFIES that, subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇., an individual, or his registered assigns (the
"HOLDER") is entitled to purchase from REDLINE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC., a
Minnesota corporation (the "COMPANY"), at any time or from time to time prior to
the time and date set forth above, Fifty Thousand (50,000) fully paid and
non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK"). Such
shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of this Bridge
Warrant are referred to as the "SHARES").
This Bridge Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the
purchase price of one Share shall be One and 25/100 Dollars ($1.25).
The purchase price of one Share is referred to herein as the "BRIDGE
WARRANT PRICE."
2. Adjustment of Bridge Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and
kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Bridge Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
a. Adjustment for Stock Dividends, Splits and Consolidations. In
case the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding
Common Stock into a greater number
of shares or declare a dividend payable in Common Stock, the
Bridge Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall proportionately reduced, and conversely, in
case the outstanding Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Bridge Warrant exercise price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
b. Adjustment for Reorganizations or Consolidations. If any
capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall
be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets
("substituted property") with respect to or in exchange for
such Common Stock, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale, the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in
this Bridge Warrant and in lieu of the Common Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such
substituted property as would have been issued or delivered to
the Holder if it had exercised this Bridge Warrant and had
received upon exercise of this Bridge Warrant the Shares prior
to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale, less the amount of the Bridge Warrant Price.
3. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any exercise of this Bridge Warrant. In lieu
of any fractional Shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company
shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
as determined in good faith by the Company.
4. No Stockholder Rights. This Bridge Warrant shall not entitle its Holder
to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise
of this Bridge Warrant.
5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants that during the period
this Bridge Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of
this Bridge Warrant. The Company further covenants that all Shares that
may be issued upon the exercise of this Bridge Warrant will, upon
payment and issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock.
6. Exercise of Bridge Warrant. This Bridge Warrant may be exercised by the
registered Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Bridge
Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the form
of exercise hereof duly executed, accompanied by payment in full of the
amount of the aggregate Bridge Warrant Price in: (a) cash; (b)
cashier's check; or (c) bank draft. Upon partial exercise hereof, a new
Bridge Warrant or Bridge Warrants containing the same date and
provisions as this Bridge Warrant shall be issued by the Company to the
registered Holder for the number of Shares of Common Stock with respect
to which this Bridge Warrant shall not have been exercised. Upon each
exercise of this Bridge Warrant the Holder shall exercise this Bridge
Warrant and
2
purchase the lesser of 100 Shares and the balance of Shares available
for issuance under the Bridge Warrant. A Bridge Warrant shall be deemed
to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on
the date the Company is in receipt of this Bridge Warrant, written
notice of exercise, and payment for the number of Shares being acquired
upon exercise of this Bridge Warrant. The person entitled to receive
the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the Holder of such Shares of record as of the close of
business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such
date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons
entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the
number of full Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share, as provided
above.
7. Additional Right to Convert Bridge Warrant.
a. The holder of this Bridge Warrant shall have the right to
require the Company to convert this Bridge Warrant (the
"CONVERSION RIGHT") at any time prior to its expiration into
shares of Common Stock as provided for in this Section 7. Upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to
the holder (without payment by the holder of any Bridge
Warrant Price) the number of shares of Common Stock ("N")
determined based on the formula set forth below.
N = A - B
-----
C
For purposes of the Conversion Right, "A" is the aggregate
Fair Market Value for the Shares immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right, "B" is the aggregate
Exercise Price for the Shares in effect immediately prior to
the exercise of the Conversion Right, and "C" is the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to
the exercise of the Conversion Right.
b. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder, at any
time or from time to time, prior to its expiration, on any
business day by delivering a written notice in the form
attached hereto (the "CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Company at
the offices of the Company exercising the Conversion Right and
specifying (i) the total number of Shares the Holder will
purchase pursuant to such conversion and (ii) the name,
address and tax identification number of the entity or

number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Bridge
Warrant shall not have been exercised.
d. "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means, with respect to the Company's
Common Stock, as of any date: (i) if the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on any
national securities exchange or is not so listed or admitted
but
3

National Market, the reported closing price of the Common
Stock on such exchange or by the Nasdaq National Market as of
such date (or, if no shares were traded on such day, as of the
next preceding day on which there was such a trade); or (ii)
if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges or reported on the Nasdaq National Market,
and bid and asked prices therefor in the over-the-counter
market are reported by the Nasdaq system or National Quotation
Bureau, Inc. (or any comparable reporting system), the mean of
the closing bid and asked prices as of such date, as so
reported by the Nasdaq system, or, if not so reported thereon,
as reported by National Quotation Bureau, Inc. (or such
comparable reporting service); or (iii) if the Common Stock is
not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, or
reported on the Nasdaq National Market, and such bid and asked
prices are not so reported by the Nasdaq system or National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. (or any comparable reporting service),
such price as the Company's Board of Directors determines in
good faith in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.
8. Compliance with Securities Laws and Other Transfer Restrictions. The
Holder of this Bridge Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees, represents
and Bridge Warrants that this Bridge Warrant and the Shares which may
be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment, that
the Holder has no present intention to resell or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of this Bridge Warrant or any Shares, and that the
Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
this Bridge Warrant or any Shares except under circumstances which will
not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "ACT") or applicable state securities laws. The Company may
condition any transfer, sale, pledge, assignment or other disposition
on the receipt from the party to whom this Bridge Warrant is to be so
transferred or to whom Shares are to be issued or so transferred, on
any representations and agreements requested by the Company in order to
permit such issuance or transfer to be made pursuant to exemptions from
registration under federal and applicable state securities laws. Upon
exercise of this Bridge Warrant, the Holder hereof shall, if requested
by the Company, confirm in writing its investment purpose and
acceptance of the restrictions on transfer of the Shares.
9. Subdivision of Bridge Warrant. At the request of the Holder of this
Bridge Warrant in connection with a transfer or exercise of a portion
of the Bridge Warrant, upon surrender of such Bridge Warrant for such
purpose to the Company, the Company at its expense (except for any
transfer tax payable) will issue and exchange therefor Bridge Warrants
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase such number of Shares of such Common Stock as shall be
designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender; provided,
however, that the Company's obligations to subdivide securities under
this Paragraph shall be subject to and conditioned upon the compliance
of any such subdivision with applicable state securities laws and with
the Act.
10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Bridge Warrant. Upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Bridge Warrant, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable
4
expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
this Bridge Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Bridge Warrant of like tenor and dates as of such cancellation, in
lieu of this Bridge Warrant.
11. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions of the Bridge Warrant
and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way
limit, affect, or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its
corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of
Organization, reorganize or merge with or into another corporation, or
to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise
of any other of its corporate rights and powers.
12. Miscellaneous. This Bridge Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Minnesota without regard to such state's conflict of laws
provisions. The headings in this Bridge Warrant are for purposes of
convenience and reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a

AGREEMENT TO DEFER PAYMENTS
UNDER PROMISSORY NOTE ISSUED BY
REDLINE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.
December 18, 2002
Redline Performance Products, Inc. (the "Borrower") previously issued a
Secured Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note (the "Note") dated October 1,
2001 to the undersigned lender(s) (the "Lender"), in the principal sum of One
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), together with interest on the
unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time at the rate of fifteen
percent (15%) per annum. Pursuant to that Note, the Borrower promised to pay the
Lender all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note on or
before December 31, 2002.
For value received, the Lender hereby defers any and all payments of
principal and interest due pursuant to the Note until the earlier of (i) the
date five (5) business days after the Borrower closes an IPO, as defined below,
and (ii) the close of business on June 30, 2003 (each a "Deferral Date").
The Note provides the Lender the right to convert amounts due pursuant
to the Note into other securities of the Borrower. The Lender understands that
the Borrower intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in December 2002 or January 2003 to facilitate the
Borrower's initial public offering of common stock ("IPO"). Any such filing will
restrict the Borrower's ability to facilitate the conversion of amounts owed
under the Note until closing of an IPO. For value received, the Lender hereby
waives the Lender's right to convert amounts owed under the Note during the
period beginning on the date the Borrower files a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an IPO and ending upon
closing of an IPO. Lender understands and agrees that Lender's right to convert
amounts due pursuant to the Note shall be limited to the following: (i) prior to
Borrower filing a registration statement in connection with an IPO (expected to
be on or about December 27, 2002) Lender may convert at a per share price equal
to $3.75 and (ii) after closing of the IPO and for a period of not less than
five business days thereafter, Lender may convert at a per share price equal to
the price of shares sold in the IPO. The Borrower may pay all amounts due under
the Note at any time other than the five-day period referenced herein and
intends to pay such amounts after closing of the IPO. This paragraph shall be of
no force and effect if the Borrower does not make a filing in connection with an
IPO.
In exchange for the deferral and modification to conversion rights set
forth herein, the Borrower will issue to the Lender an additional warrant to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for every $50,000 in principal amount of
the Note. The Lender hereby waives any prior default by Borrower under the Note.
Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions of the
Note shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Lender has executed this agreement to defer
payments under the Note effective as of the day and year first above written.

Lender that has theretofore advanced or paid any such expenses
in an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid
by such Lender prior to such date;
SECOND: To the Lenders and the Agent in an amount
equal to the total amount of the Obligations owed to each
Lender and the Agent. In the event the moneys are not equal to
or more than the amount of the Obligations owed to each Lender
and the Agent, then to the Lenders and the Agent in an amount
equal to the Agent's and each remaining Lender's Pro-Rata
Share; and
THIRD: Any surplus remaining after payment in full in

Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing promptly following the repayment
in full of all Obligations owing to such Lender.
14. Limitation on Agent's Duties in Respect of Collateral.
Other than the Agent's duties set forth in this Agreement as to the custody of
Collateral and the proceeds thereof received by the Agent hereunder and
thereunder and the accounting to the Debtor and the Lenders therefore, the Agent
shall have no duty to the Debtor or the remaining Lenders with respect to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of its
agent or nominee, any income thereon, or the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
15. Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders
agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their
respective Pro Rata Shares as of the date of any demand by the Agent with
respect thereto: (i) for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent, on
behalf of the remaining Lenders, in connection with the preservation or
protection of the Collateral or the validity, perfection or priority of the
enforcement of this Agreement against the Debtor; and (ii) for any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement.
16. Rights as a Lender. Notwithstanding that the Agent is
acting as the Agent hereunder, the Agent in its individual capacity shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent.
17. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by
giving not less than thirty days' prior written notice thereof to the remaining
Lenders and the Debtor and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without
cause by written notice received by the Agent from the remaining Lenders. Upon
any such resignation or removal, the remaining Lenders shall have the right to
appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty days after the retiring Agent's giving notice of
resignation, then the retiring Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a
successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent hereunder
by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
