LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of September 1, 2009 (the “ Closing Date ”) by and between TERRY M. GILES, an individual residing in the State of Texas (“ Lender ”), and PACIFIC BIOMETRICS, INC., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 220 West Harrison Street, Seattle, Washington 98119 (“ Borrower ”).

For good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1: AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOAN

1.1 Principal Amount of Loan . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Lender shall loan to Borrower an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 in the form of a term loan (the “ Loan ”). All amounts owed with respect to the Loan shall be paid as set forth below, and no later than the Maturity Date (defined below). Amounts borrowed under the Loan and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

1.2 Maturity of Loan . The Loan shall be for a term of 48 months, unless earlier repaid (the “ Term ”), and Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender all remaining unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due with respect to the Loan on or before September 1, 2013 (the “ Maturity Date ”).

1.3 Interest Rate . All principal outstanding from time to time under the Loan shall bear interest at an interest rate of 12.0% per annum, calculated on a 365/6-day basis and the actual number of days elapsed (the “ Interest Rate ”). Upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal shall bear interest at a default rate of interest of 1- 1/2 % per month (the “ Default Rate ”). In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay Lender interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

1.4 Payments .

(a)  Loan Payment Schedule . Borrower shall make payments to Lender on the Loan on the following schedule:

 

(i)

 

Borrower shall make 8 monthly payments of accrued and unpaid interest only ($40,000), beginning on September 30, 2009 and on the last business day of each of the next succeeding seven calendar months (the “ Interest-Only Period ”); and

 

 

(ii)

 

Thereafter, the principal amount of the Loan shall be amortized over 40 months, and Borrower shall make 40 regular monthly payments of principal and interest ($121,822 each), on the last business day of each succeeding calendar month; and

 

 

(iii)

 

On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a final payment of all outstanding Loan principal, accrued interest, and any and all unpaid fees and other charges owed under the Loan.

(b)  Application of Payments . All payments received by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied first to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and the balance, if any, to the payment of Loan principal.

1.5 No Prepayment Penalties . The Loan may be prepaid, in full or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty.

1.6 Promissory Note . The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “ Note ”) payable to the order of Lender, in the total principal amount of the Loan.

1.7 Loan Fees . In connection with this Agreement and the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender a quarterly finance fee in an amount equal to $12,000. The foregoing fee shall be payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter during the Term.

1.8 Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of the Loan shall be applied by Borrower (a) to repurchase up to a maximum of 2,400,000 shares of Borrower common stock of held by certain stockholders of Borrower, as designated by Lender, pursuant to the terms of a stock repurchase agreement to be entered into with such stockholders (the “ Stock Repurchase ”), and (b) otherwise for Borrower’s working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Stock Repurchase shall be at a repurchase price equal to $0.70. Lender acknowledges and agrees that, other than the Stock Repurchase, it is making the Loan to Borrower without conditions or requirements on Borrower’s use of the Loan proceeds, and that unless otherwise provided for herein, Borrower shall have full discretion and right to use the Loan for any purpose or purposes as Borrower shall deem necessary and useful in Borrower’s sole discretion.

1.9 Option for Additional Loan .

(a) During the first 12 months of the Term, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to obtain an additional loan from Lender in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “ Additional Loan ”). The Additional Loan will be at the Interest Rate, and otherwise on the same terms as the Loan, other than the payment schedule as described below, and will be evidenced by a separate promissory note between the parties.

(b) Payments on the Additional Loan will be as follows:

 

(i)

 

If the Addition Loan is made during the Interest-Only Period, Borrower shall make monthly payments of accrued and unpaid interest only ($5,000), on the last business day of each calendar month during the Interest-Only Period, and thereafter, the principal amount of the Additional Loan shall be amortized over 40 months, and Borrower shall make 40 regular monthly payments of principal and interest ($15,227 each), on the last business day of each succeeding calendar month; and

 

 

(ii)

 

If the Addition Loan is made after the Interest-Only Period, the principal amount of the Additional Loan shall be amortized over the remaining number of months in the Term, and Borrower shall make regular equal monthly payments of principal and interest, on the last business day of each succeeding calendar month during the Term; and

 

 

(iii)

 

On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a final payment of all outstanding Additional Loan principal, accrued interest, and any and all unpaid fees and other charges owed under the Additional Loan.

(c) Borrower shall give Lender at least five business days’ written notice of any request for borrowing under the Additional Loan, stating the requested funding date for such borrowing, and accompanied by such other information and documentation as Lender may reasonably request. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall make such requested advance to Borrower in immediately available funds no later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the requested funding date. Any amounts owing under the Additional Loan will be included as “Obligations” hereunder.

ARTICLE 2: SECURITY

2.1 Grant of Security Interest . In order to secure the payment to Lender of all amounts owing under the Loan (the “ Obligations ”), Borrower hereby grants to Lender, and its successors and assigns, a first priority security interest in the Collateral (defined below). This Agreement shall continue until all Obligations are paid in full.

2.2 Collateral . For purposes of the foregoing grant of security interest to Lender, “ Collateral ” means all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of its assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located including, but not limited to the following: all cash and cash equivalents, accounts, deposit accounts, inventory, equipment, goods, documents, instruments, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel paper, investment property (including, without limitation, all equity interests owned by Borrower), letter-of-credit rights, trademarks, trademark applications, tradestyles, patents, patent applications, copyrights, copyright applications and other intellectual property in which Borrower now has or hereafter may acquire any right, title or interest, all proceeds and products thereof (including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance) and all additions, accessions and substitutions thereto or therefor. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms that are defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect, from time to time, in the State of Washington (the “ Uniform Commercial Code ”) and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any of such property that is subject on the date hereof to certain outstanding security interests (and the related UCC-1 financing statements relating thereto) granted by Borrower to third parties in connection with certain equipment financings.

2.3 Subsidiary Guaranty . Each of Borrower’s subsidiaries (the “ Subsidiaries ”) shall enter into a Subsidiary Guaranty, pursuant to which each such Subsidiary shall guarantee Borrower’s Obligations and shall secure their guaranties by granting to Lender a security interest in all of their Collateral.

2.4 Stock Pledge . As collateral security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, Borrower also pledges and grants to Lender a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in the shares of capital stock in each of the Subsidiaries, as listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (the “ Pledged Stock ”). All certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Stock shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Lender, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank. Lender may not transfer any of the Pledged Stock except in realization on its security interests in the Collateral after the occurrence, and during the continuance beyond any applicable grace or cure period, of an Event of Default. At all times prior to an Event of Default (and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period pertaining thereto), Borrower shall (i) be entitled to vote the Pledged Stock, (ii) be entitled to give consents, waivers and ratification in respect of the Pledged Stock, and (iii) be entitled to collect and receive for its own use cash dividends legally declared available for distribution, on the Pledged Stock.

2.5. Perfection; Recordation . The security interests granted herein shall be perfected by Lender’s filing of appropriate Uniform Commercial Code Forms UCC-1 with the appropriate government filing offices (including, as applicable, any required filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office). In connection with the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Lender to prepare and file any financing statements describing the Collateral without otherwise obtaining Borrower’s signature or consent with respect to the filing of such financing statements.

2.6 Termination of Security Interests . Upon the payment in full of the Obligations, all security interests granted hereby and under the Subsidiary Guaranty shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral and Pledged Stock shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination, the Lender shall, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
