•

risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and
|
•
|
risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues.
|
•
|
SMS is, by its nature, limited in content relative to other media;
|
•
|
companies may be reluctant or slow to adopt SMS that replaces, limits or competes with their existing direct marketing efforts;
|
•
|
companies may prefer other forms of advertising we do not offer, including certain forms of search engine placements;
|
•
|
companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, may no longer grant us access to their websites in connection with our SMS platforms;
|
•
|
companies may not utilize SMS due to concerns of “click-fraud” particularly related to search engine placements (“click-fraud” is a form of online fraud when a person or computer program imitates a legitimate user by clicking on an advertisement for the purpose generating a charge per click without having an actual interest in the target of the advertisement's link); and
|
•
|
regulatory actions may negatively impact certain business practices that we currently rely on to generate a portion of our revenue and profitability.

|
•
|
changes in local political, economic, social, and labor conditions, which may adversely harm our business;
|
•
|
restrictions on foreign ownership and investments, and stringent foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned in countries outside the United States;
|
•
|
import and export requirements that may prevent us from offering products or providing services to a particular market and may increase our operating costs;
|
•
|
currency exchange rate fluctuations and our ability to manage these fluctuations through our foreign exchange risk management program;
|
•
|
longer payment cycles in some countries, increased credit risk, and higher levels of payment fraud;
|
•
|
uncertainty regarding liability for services and content, including uncertainty as a result of local laws and lack of legal precedent; and
|
•
|
different employee/employer relationships, existence of workers' councils and labor unions, and other challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences, making it harder to do business in certain jurisdictions.
|
•
|
changes in our industry;

•

•
|
our ability to obtain working capital financing;
|
•

•
|

|
•
|
expiration of any Rule 144 holding periods or registration of unregistered securities issued by us;
|
•
|
sales of our common stock;

Financed Receivables
.
|
1.
|
Funding Requests
. Borrower may request that Lender finance Receivables by delivering to Lender a Funding Request for the Receivables for which a request for financing is made. Lender shall be entitled to rely on all the information provided by Borrower to Lender on or with the Funding Request. The Lender may honor Funding Requests, instructions or repayments given by the Borrower (if an individual) or by an Authorized Person.
|
2.
|
Acceptance of Receivables
. Upon acceptance by Lender of any Receivable described in a Funding Request, Lender shall make an Advance to Borrower in an amount up to the Advance Rate multiplied by the Receivable Amount of such Receivable. Upon Lender's acceptance of the Receivable and payment to Borrower of the Advance, the Receivable shall become a “Financed Receivable.” It shall be a condition to each Advance that (a) all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
5
are true and correct on the date of such Advance as though made at and as of each such date and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance. Lender has no obligation to finance any Receivable and may exercise its sole discretion in determining whether any Receivable is an Eligible Receivable before financing such Receivable. In no event shall the Lender be obligated to make any Advance that results in an Overadvance or while any Overadvance is outstanding.
|
3.
|
Rights in Respect of Financed Receivables
. Effective upon Lender's payment of an Advance, Lender shall have the exclusive right to receive all Collections on the Financed Receivable.

Due Diligence
. Lender may audit Borrower's Receivables and any and all records pertaining to the Collateral, at Lender's sole discretion and at Borrowers expense. Lender may at any time and from time to time contact Account Debtors and other persons obligated or knowledgeable in respect of Receivables to confirm the Receivable Amount of such Receivables, to determine whether Receivables constitute Eligible Receivables, and for any other purpose in connection with this Agreement. If any of the Collateral or Borrower's books or records pertaining to the Collateral are in the possession of a third party, Borrower authorizes that third party to permit Lender or its agents to have access to perform inspections or audits thereof and to respond to Lender's requests for information concerning such Collateral and records.

If no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees to credit the Refundable Reserve with the amount of Collections it receives with respect to Receivables other than Financed Receivables;
provided
that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Lender may apply all Collections to the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine. Lender has no duty to do any act other than to turnover such amounts as required above.

3.3

4.

Adjustments
. In the event of a breach of Sections 5 or 6, or in the event any Adjustment or dispute is asserted by any Account Debtor, Borrower shall promptly advise Lender and shall, subject to the Lender's approval, resolve such disputes and advise Lender of any Adjustments;
provided
that in no case will the aggregate Adjustments made with respect to any Financed Receivable exceed 2% of its original Receivable Amount unless Borrower has obtained the prior written consent of Lender. Unless the Advance for the disputed Financed Receivable is repaid in full, Lender shall have the right, at any time, to take possession of any rejected, returned, or recovered personal property. If such possession is not taken by Lender, Borrower is to resell it for Lender's account at Borrower's expense with the proceeds made payable to Lender.

Claim
”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “
Loan Documents
”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“
CCP
”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding.

Court
”).

|
4.
|
The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).
|
5.
|
The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.
|
7.
|
Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee's power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.
|
8.
|
The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
|
9.
|
If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
|
10.
|
THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
