          2.3 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of Lender Expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to the payment of accrued interest on the Term Loan; third, to the payment of accrued interest on the Revolving Loan; fourth, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity; fifth, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loan; sixth, to any other Secured Obligations; and seventh, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; provided, however, the application of funds required pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 2.10.
 
          2.4 Late Fee; Default Interest.
 
          (a) Late Fee. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand.
 
          (b) Default Interest. In addition to the Late Fee, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, the Secured Obligations shall bear interest at the following rate(s) (such rate(s) the “Default Rate”): (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Revolving Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall bear interest at the Term Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash, and (c) all other Secured Obligations shall bear interest at the Term Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to Section 2.3, all accrued interest, including accrued interest calculated at the Term Loan PIK Interest Rate, shall be payable on demand in cash. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rates set forth in Section 2.1(c), Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.4, as applicable.
 
     2.5 Voluntary Prepayments
 
          (a) Revolving Loan. Borrower may prepay the Revolving Loan in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty.
 
          (b) Term Loan. Borrower may prepay, at Borrower’s option upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, in whole (or, in part with the prior consent of Lender in its sole and absolute discretion), the Term Loan, together with all Secured Obligations arising as a result of or relating to the Term Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the Prepayment Charge on the amounts so prepaid, provided that any prepayment of the Term Loan (i) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 with increments of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, with the written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, in such other amounts and increments), or if the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan is less than such amounts, then the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan; and (ii) shall be applied pro rata to all scheduled principal installments thereof. If Borrower prepays the outstanding aggregate amount of the Term Loan as herein provided, on such date of repayment, Lender’s commitment to make Revolving Loans shall terminate and all Secured Obligations shall be repaid in full in cash on such date.
 
27
 

 

          2.6 Mandatory Prepayments.
 
          (a) Maximum Revolver Capacity If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loan Advances exceeds the Maximum Revolver Capacity, Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess to Lender.

Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(h) shall be applied as provided in Section 2.6(j) and Section 2.10 below.
 
          (i) Extraordinary Receipts; Insurance Proceeds.
 
          (x) (A) If Borrower or any Guarantor receives (1) any Extraordinary Receipts equal to or in excess of $50,000 or (2) net cash proceeds equal to or in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate from insurance proceeds, or (B) if Lender, as loss payee, receives net cash proceeds equal to or in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate from insurance proceeds, then Borrower shall promptly prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts and/or insurance proceeds received therefrom by such Person (but in any event within one (1) Business Day thereafter). 
 
          (y) (A) If Borrower or any Guarantor receives (1) any Extraordinary Receipts of less than $50,000 or (2) net cash proceeds less than $50,000 in the aggregate from insurance proceeds, or (B) if Lender, as loss payee, receives net cash proceeds of less than $50,000 in the aggregate from insurance proceeds, then Borrower shall, at Borrower’s election and upon written notice thereof to Lender, either (A) prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts and/or insurance proceeds received therefrom by such Person (but in any event within one (1) Business Day thereafter) or (B) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, reinvest all or any portion of such Extraordinary Receipts and/or net cash proceeds in the purchase or replacement of operating assets so long as within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts and/or net cash proceeds such purchase or reinvestment shall have been consummated, provided that if such purchase or reinvestment shall not have been so consummated, within one (1) Business Day following such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts and/or net cash proceeds received and not subject to any reinvestment as herein provided.

29
 

 

          (ii) Mandatory Prepayments Generally.

          2.7 Prepayment Charge. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Term Loan. In addition, Borrower agrees that such Prepayment Charge shall be payable if any portion of the Term Loan is repaid (whether as a result of acceleration, whether voluntarily or involuntarily mandatory repayments or otherwise) but not on account of any prepayment arising under Sections 2.6(d) or 2.6(g) hereof. 
 
          2.8 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 
          2.9 Unused Line Fee.

All payments received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

30

SECTION 3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIBOR AND TAXES; ETC.
 
          3.1 [Intentionally Omitted].
 
          3.2 Special Provisions Applicable to the LIBOR Rate.
 
          (a) Determinations Generally. The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar or LIBOR deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including without limitation changes in tax laws and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, Lender shall give Borrower notice of such a determination and adjustment and Borrower may, by notice to Lender require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment. In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and (i) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans that are outstanding, interest for the next thirty (30) days shall accrue at the per annum rate in effect on the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower and Lender shall negotiate in good faith the interest rate to be applicable after the termination of such thirty (30) day period and if the parties cannot mutually agree on an interest rate to be applicable thereafter, Borrower shall repay (without prepayment penalty) the Secured Obligations in full in cash upon the termination of such thirty (30) day period. 
 
          (b) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Lender, nor any participant, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Secured Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section 3.2(b) shall apply as if Lender or such participants had match funded any Secured Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
 
          3.3 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
 
          (a) (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
 
31
 

 

          (ii) If Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Lender shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Lender to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Lender shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower and/or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 
          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower and Guarantor. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower and each Guarantor shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 
          (c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower and each Guarantor shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Lender or paid by Lender (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender), and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 
          (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.3, Borrower shall deliver to Lender or Lender shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Lender, as the case may be.
 
          (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
 
          (i) Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 
          (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
 
32
 

 

          (A) each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower, upon request of Borrower, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
 
          (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
          (I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 
          (II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 
          (III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation, 
 
          (IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 
          (V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
 
          (iii) Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrower make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. 
 
33
 

 

          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 
          (g) Survival. This Section 3.3 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
          3.4 Evidence of Debt. The Advances made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advance made by Lender to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Secured Obligations. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Note, which shall evidence Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 4. SECURITY INTEREST
 
          4.1 Grant of a Security Interest. As security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower and each Guarantor grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s personal property now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof (all of the same being hereinafter called the “Collateral”): all personal and fixture property of every kind and nature including all goods (including Inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents (including, if applicable, electronic documents), Accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, cash, money, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property (but excluding thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting capital stock of any Foreign Subsidiary that constitutes a Permitted Investment to the extent that such grant of a security interest would give rise to a material adverse tax consequence to Borrower or any Guarantor), instruments (including promissory notes), supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, Intellectual Property and Licenses, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles). 
 
          4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Borrower and/or such Guarantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Section 11 of the UCC or, as applicable, Article 9 of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Section 11 of the UCC or, as applicable, Article 9 of such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Borrower or such Guarantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower or such Guarantor and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly upon request. Borrower and each Guarantor also ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
 
34
 

 

          4.3 Other Actions. Further to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted Senior Liens) of, and the ability of Lender to enforce Lender’s Liens, Borrower and each Guarantor agrees, in each case at Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral and without limitation on Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations contained in this Agreement: 
 
          (a) Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If Borrower or any Guarantor shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible chattel paper, Borrower or such Guarantor shall, at Lender’s request, forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Lender may from time to time specify. 
 
          (b) Deposit Accounts. Other than with respect to amounts deposited pursuant to Section 9.20, for each Deposit Account that Borrower or any Guarantor, now or at any time hereafter, opens or maintains, Borrower or such Guarantor shall, prior to or concurrently with the opening of such Deposit Account, pursuant to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, cause the depositary bank to agree to comply, without further consent of Borrower or such Guarantor, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default with instructions from Lender to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Excluded Deposit Accounts. 
 
          (c) Investment Property. If Borrower or any Guarantor shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Collateral, Borrower or such Guarantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Lender may from time to time specify (but excluding thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting capital stock of any Foreign Subsidiary that constitutes a Permitted Investment to the extent that such grant of a security interest would give rise to a material adverse tax consequence to Borrower or any Guarantor). If any securities constituting Collateral now or hereafter acquired by Borrower or any Guarantor are uncertificated and are issued to Borrower or its nominee, or such Guarantor or its nominee, directly by the issuer thereof, Borrower or such Guarantor shall immediately notify Lender thereof and, at Lender’s request and option, either (i) cause the issuer to enter into an agreement under Section 8-106 of the UCC whereby the issuer agrees with instructions originated by Lender without further consent by Borrower or any Guarantor, or (ii) pursuant to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, arrange for Lender to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Borrower or any Guarantor that constitutes Collateral are held by Borrower or its nominee, or any Guarantor or its nominee, through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, Borrower or such Guarantor shall immediately notify Lender thereof and, at Lender’s request and option, either (x) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to enter into an Account Control Agreement, or (y) pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in the case of financial assets or other investment property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for Lender to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Borrower or such Guarantor being permitted, only with the consent of Lender, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which Lender is the securities intermediary.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES 
 
          12.1 General. Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default: (i) Lender may, at its option, terminate its commitment to make any Advance; (ii) Lender may, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 11.7, Lender’s commitment to make any Advance shall automatically terminate and the Loans and all of the Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act); (iii) Lender may, at its option, notify any account debtor of Borrower or any Guarantor to make payment directly to Lender, compromise the amount of any such account on Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s behalf and endorse Lender’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to Lender’s account; and (iv) Lender may, at its option, exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
 
65
 

 

          12.2 Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect. Lender may require Borrower and/or any Guarantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give to Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, at least ten days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private or other intended disposition is to be made. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that such ten days’ notice is reasonable notice. In addition, Borrower and each Guarantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priorities:
 
First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender’s costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 14.11;
 
Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole discretion; and
 
Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in cash of all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
 
Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC. 
 
66
 

 

          12.3 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower or Guarantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 12.3 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would fulfill Lender duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other relevant jurisdiction in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 12.3. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or any Guarantor or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 12.3.
 
          12.4 Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any of present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that Borrower or such Guarantor will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured and, Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 
 
          12.5 Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender.
 
SECTION 13. GUARANTY
 
          13.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 13 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the obligations under the Loan Documents has occurred and all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder have been terminated, and that its obligations under this Section 13 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
 
67
 

 

          (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower or any Guarantor is or may become a party; 
 
          (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 13) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof; 
 
          (c) the insolvency of Borrower or any Guarantor; or
 
          (d) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
 
          Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the obligations guaranteed hereunder.
 
          13.2 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereunder against Borrower or any other Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the obligations under the Loan Documents before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor. It is agreed among each Guarantor that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 13 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement. 
 
          13.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of this Section 13 are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender, the obligations of Borrower or such Guarantor under the Loan Documents. 
 
          13.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 13.7, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 13, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 13.4.
 
          13.5 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize their benefits under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 13. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, of Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, Borrower and each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that Borrower or any Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor shall not impair Borrower or any other Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
68
 

 

          13.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability under this Section 13 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which Borrower is primarily liable under the Loan Documents) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
 
          (a) the net amount of all amounts advanced to such Guarantor under this Agreement or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Guarantor (including any interest and fees and other charges); and 
 
          (b) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Guarantor under this Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from Borrower or each other Guarantor under Section 13.7.
 
          13.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.
 
          (a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Section 13 of all or any of the obligations under the Loan Documents (other than financial accommodations made to that Guarantor for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate obligations under the Loan Documents satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Guarantor as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the obligations under the Loan Documents and termination of the Loan Documents (including all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder), such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 
 
          (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. 
 
          (c) This Section 13.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Guarantor and nothing set forth in this Section 13.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 13.1. Nothing contained in this Section 13.7 shall limit the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor to pay the financial accommodations made directly or indirectly to Borrower or such Guarantor and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which Borrower or such Guarantor shall be primarily liable.
 
69
 

 

          (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 
 
          (e) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantor against other Guarantor under this Section 13.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Loan Documents.
 
          13.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 13 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of Borrower and each other Guarantor to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower or such Guarantor is a party or in respect of any obligations under the Loan Documents or obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 
 
          13.9 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower and/or any Guarantor under this Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable jointly and severally by Borrower and Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by Lender. 
 
          13.10 Benefit to Borrower. Borrower and each Guarantor is engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of each such Person has a direct impact on the success of each other Person. Borrower and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit made hereunder.

          14.1 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

None of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended, modified or waived except by a written instrument executed by each of the parties to such Loan Document. 
 
          14.4 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 
          14.5 No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower or any Guarantor at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.

          14.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and each Guarantor and their respective permitted assigns (if any).

Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower or any Guarantor, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns.
 
71
 

 

          14.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of California. Payment to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 
          14.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 14.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 14.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 14.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 
 
          14.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.
 
          (a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
          (b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 14.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.
 
72
 

 

          (c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 14.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
 
          14.11 Professional Fees. Borrower and each Guarantor promises to pay Lender on demand for costs and expenses, reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by Lender in connection with: (i) documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and any other transactions between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender, including, without limitation, UCC and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance and environmental audit or review (including due diligence review) costs; (ii) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (iii) collection of any Secured Obligations; (iv) administration and enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider, appraiser, consultant or other specialist engaged by Lender for such purposes); (v) costs associated with any refinancings or restructurings of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a “work-out” in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, and whether or not consummated; (vi) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender and its assignee(s) (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) in connection with the assignment, transfers or syndication of the Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000; and (vii) from and against all liability for any intangibles, documentary, stamp or other similar taxes, fees and excises, if any, including any interest and penalties, and any finder’s or brokerage fees, commissions and expenses (other than any fees, commissions or expenses of finders or brokers engaged by Lender), that may be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if (a) any Note or other Loan Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or Lender otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under such Note or such Loan Document or to enforce the provisions of such Note or such Loan Document or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Borrower or any Guarantor or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under such Note or such Loan Document, then Borrower and Guarantors shall pay the costs incurred by Lender for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including such fees and disbursements related to seeking relief from any stay, automatic or otherwise, in effect under any Debtor Relief Law). This Section 14.11 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 
          14.12 Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Lender by Borrower and Guarantors are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower or such Guarantor, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower or such Guarantor at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower or such Guarantor, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its Affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender acknowledges that it is aware, and that it will advise its directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors who receive information from the Loan Parties hereunder, that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received material, non-public information concerning the Borrower from purchasing or selling securities of the Borrower or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.
 
73
 

 

          14.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note(s) and Loan Documents to any person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that, upon receipt of Borrower’s written request, in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon. Lender further acknowledges (a) Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, is familiar with the business and affairs of Borrower and knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters such that Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes; (b) that the Notes are being acquired for Lender’s account, for investment purposes only, and not with any view toward the resale or distribution thereof, or with any present intention of selling, assigning or distributing all or any portion of the Notes; and (c) that the Notes may not be sold or transferred unless subsequently registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available. 
 
          14.14 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower or any Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in cash.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 
          14.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any person other than Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely between Lender, Borrower and the Guarantors.
 
          14.17 Publicity.

ADDENDUM 1 TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
 
          (a) Borrower’s Business. For purposes of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall be deemed to include its “affiliates” as defined in Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations Section 121.103. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender (as of the Closing Date and for a period of one year thereafter) and covenants to Lender as follows:
 
                                    1.       Size Status. Borrower does not have tangible net worth in excess of $18 million or average net income after Federal income taxes (excluding any carry-over losses) for the preceding two completed fiscal years in excess of $6 million;
   
  2.   No Relender. Borrower’s primary business activity does not involve, directly or indirectly, providing funds to others, purchasing debt obligations, factoring, or long-term leasing of equipment with no provision for maintenance or repair;
   
  3.   No Passive Business. Borrower is engaged in a regular and continuous business operation (excluding the mere receipt of payments such as dividends, rents, lease payments, or royalties). Borrower’s employees are carrying on the majority of day to day operations. Borrower will not pass through substantially all of the proceeds of the Loan to another entity;
   
  4.   No Real Estate Business. Borrower is not classified under Major Group 65 (Real Estate) or Industry No. 1531 (Operative Builders) of the SIC Manual. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used to acquire or refinance real property unless Borrower (x) is acquiring an existing property and will use at least 51 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; (y) is building or renovating a building and will use at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; or (z) occupies the subject property and uses at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes.
   
  5.   No Project Finance. Borrower’s assets are not intended to be reduced or consumed, generally without replacement, as the life of its business progresses, and the nature of Borrower’s business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the business’s financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of assets (e.g., real estate development projects and oil and gas wells). The primary purpose of the Loan is not to fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items, generally over a defined production period, where such production will constitute the majority of the activities of Borrower (e.g., motion pictures and electric generating plants).
   
  6.   No Farm Land Purchases. Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Loan to acquire farm land which is or is intended to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes, such as the production of food, fiber, or wood, or is so taxed or zoned.
       
  7.   No Foreign Investment. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used substantially for a foreign operation. At the time of the Loan, Borrower will not have more than 49 percent of its employees or tangible assets located outside the United States. The representation in this subsection (7) is made only as of the date hereof and shall not continue for one year as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 1.
   

 

          (b) Small Business Administration Documentation. Lender acknowledges that Borrower completed, executed and delivered to Lender SBA Forms 480, 652 and 1031 (Parts A and B) together with a business plan showing Borrower’s financial projections (including balance sheets and income and cash flows statements) for the period described therein and a written statement (whether included in the purchase agreement or pursuant to a separate statement) from Lender regarding its intended use of proceeds from the sale of securities to Lender (the “Use of Proceeds Statement”). Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the information regarding Borrower and its affiliates set forth in the SBA Form 480, Form 652 and Form 1031 and the Use of Proceeds Statement delivered as of the Closing Date is accurate and complete. 
 
          (c) Inspection. The following covenants contained in this Section (c) are intended to supplement and not to restrict the related provisions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower will permit, for so long as Lender holds any debt or equity securities of Borrower, Lender or its representative, at Lender’ expense, and examiners of the SBA to visit and inspect the properties and assets of Borrower, to examine its books of account and records, and to discuss Borrower’s affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower’s officers, senior management and accountants, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender or the SBA. 
 
          (d) Annual Assessment. Promptly after the end of each calendar year (but in any event prior to February 28 of each year) and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower will deliver to Lender a written assessment of the economic impact of Lender’ investment in Borrower, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with the investment, the impact of the investment on the businesses of Borrower in terms of expanded revenue and taxes, other economic benefits resulting from the investment (such as technology development or commercialization, minority business development, or expansion of exports) and such other information as may be required regarding Borrower in connection with the filing of Lender’s SBA Form 468. Lender will assist Borrower with preparing such assessment. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower will grant Lender and the SBA access to Borrower’s books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of such proceeds. Borrower also will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition of Borrower as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.
 
          (e) Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds from the Loan only for funding the Acquisition and general working capital purposes. Borrower will deliver to Lender from time to time promptly following Lender’s request, a written report, certified as correct by Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer, verifying the purposes and amounts for which proceeds from the Loan have been disbursed. Borrower will supply to Lender such additional information and documents as Lender reasonably requests with respect to its use of proceeds and will permit Lender and the SBA to have access to any and all Borrower records and information and personnel as Lender deems necessary to verify how such proceeds have been or are being used, and to assure that the proceeds have been used for the purposes specified in Section 8.7.
 

 

          (f) Activities and Proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates (if any) will engage in any activities or use directly or indirectly the proceeds from the Loan for any purpose for which a small business investment company is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act, including 13 C.F.R. §107.720. Without obtaining the prior written approval of Lender, Borrower will not change within 1 year of the date hereof, Borrower’s current business activity to a business activity which a licensee under the SBIC Act is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act. 
 
          (g) Redemption Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Borrower, as amended from time to time (the “Charter”), if, pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the Charter, Lender is entitled to a redemption of its Warrant, such redemption (in the case of Lender) will be at a price equal to the redemption price set forth in the Charter (the “Existing Redemption Price”). If, however, Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the then current regulations promulgated under the SBIC Act prohibit payment of the Existing Redemption Price in the case of an SBIC (or, if applied, the Existing Redemption Price would cause the Preferred Equity Interest to lose its classification as an “equity security” and Lender has determined that such classification is unadvisable), the amount Lender will be entitled to receive shall be the greater of (i) fair market value of the securities being redeemed taking into account the rights and preferences of such securities plus any costs and expenses of Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant, and (ii) the Existing Redemption Price where the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable to Lender is limited to Borrower’s earnings plus any costs and expenses of Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant; provided, however, the amount calculated in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall not exceed the Existing Redemption Price. 
 
          (h) Cost of Money. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, all interest and fees charged pursuant to the Loan Documents shall comply with the provisions of 13 C.F.R. § 107.855, including, without limitation, that such amounts shall not exceed the Cost of Money ceiling (as defined hereafter). The current Cost of Money ceiling for this Loan is 14.5 percent.
 
          (i) Compliance and Resolution. Borrower agrees that a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, or any other set of facts or circumstances where it has been asserted by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) that Lender and its affiliates are not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant right with respect to, any securities issued to Lender by Borrower, will constitute a breach of the obligations of Borrower under the financing agreements between Borrower and Lender. In the event of (i) a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum; or (ii) an assertion by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) of a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, then (i) Lender and Borrower will meet and resolve any such issue in good faith to the satisfaction of Borrower, Lender, and any governmental regulatory agency, and (ii) upon request of Lender, Borrower will cooperate and assist with any assignment of the financing agreements from Hercules Technology II, L.P. to Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.

RECITALS
 
     WHEREAS, each Pledgor has concurrently herewith entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, modified or otherwise in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) with Pledgee, pursuant to which Pledgee has agreed to make certain advances of money and to extend certain financial accommodations to Borrower (collectively, the “Loans”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein;
 
     WHEREAS, each Pledgor owns the percentage of the outstanding Shares (as defined below) set forth beside the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (which may be amended, updated, or otherwise modified from time to time); and
 
     WHEREAS, Pledgee is willing to make the Loans to Borrower, but only upon the condition, among others, that Pledgors shall have executed and delivered to Pledgee this Pledge Agreement and the Pledged Collateral (as defined below).
 
AGREEMENTS
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, each Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:
 
     1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement. Terms used herein and not defined in the Loan Agreement or otherwise defined herein that are defined in the UCC have such defined meanings herein (with terms used in Article 9 controlling over terms used in another Article), unless the context otherwise indicates or requires, and the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 
     Issuers. Shall mean the corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, general partnerships and any other Person now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital of any such company or any successors in interest thereto) by any Pledgor, including, without limitation, the corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, general partnerships or such other Person listed on Exhibit A attached hereto.
 
     Liabilities. As defined in Section 2.
 

 

     Paid in Full or Payment in Full. With respect to the Secured Obligations, that: (a) all of such Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid, performed or discharged in full in cash, and (b) Lender shall not have any obligation to grant, and no Person shall have any further right to obtain, any loans or other extensions of credit under the documents relating to the Secured Obligations.
 
     Pledge Agreement Supplement. As defined in Section 8(e).
 
     Pledged Collateral. As defined in Section 2.
 
     Pledged Shares. Shares of the Issuers, including without limitation the Shares identified on Exhibit A hereto (which may be amended, updated or otherwise modified from time to time) which are pledged pursuant to the terms of this Pledge Agreement.
 
     Shares. Shares of capital stock, limited liability company membership units, partnership interests, or any other equity interest of every class, together with all voting trust certificates evidencing the right to vote any of the foregoing subject to any voting trust.
 
     2. Pledge of Securities. As security for the full, prompt, complete and final payment and performance when due (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, together with, without limitation, the prompt payment of all expenses, including, without limitation, Lender Expenses (all such indebtedness being the “Liabilities”), each Pledgor hereby pledges to Pledgee, and grants to Pledgee, a first priority security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):
 
          (a) all Pledged Shares and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares;
 
          (b) with respect to any limited liability company membership units or partnership interests constituting Pledged Shares, (i) all payments or distributions whether in cash, property or otherwise, at any time owing or payable to such Pledgor on account of its interest as a member or partner, as the case may be, in any of the Issuers or in the nature of a management, investment banking or other fee paid or payable by any of the Issuers to such Pledgor (other than tax distributions allocable to the Pledgor), (ii) all of such Pledgor’s rights and interests under each of the partnership agreements or operating agreements, as applicable, including all voting and management rights and all rights to grant or withhold consents or approvals, (iii) all rights of access and inspection to and use of all books and records, including computer software and computer software programs, of each of the Issuers, (iv) all other rights, interests, property or claims to which such Pledgor may be entitled in its capacity as a partner or the sole member of any Issuer, and (v) all proceeds (other than tax distributions allocable to Pledgor), income from, increases in and products of any of the foregoing to be held by the Pledgee;
 
          (c) all additional Shares of the Issuers or other Person from time to time acquired by such Pledgor in any manner (which additional Shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares whether or not Exhibit A has been updated in accordance with the terms hereof), and any certificates, if applicable, representing such additional Shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares;
 
2
 

 

     provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), in no event and at no time shall the Pledged Collateral include or be comprised of the Shares of a Foreign Subsidiary in the event the pledge of such Shares would give rise to a material adverse tax consequence to the Pledgor (as determined by the Lender) and such Foreign Subsidiary qualifies as a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), in which case, the applicable Pledgor shall pledge 65% of the voting stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of all classes of Shares of such controlled foreign corporation, and, in each case, the corresponding proportion of dividends, distributions, interest and other payments and rights with respect thereto.
 
     3. Amendment to Exhibit A. Each Pledgor agrees that Lender may from time to time attach as Exhibit A hereto an updated list of the Shares pledged with Lender hereunder without the consent or approval of any Pledgor hereto.
 
     4. Registration. The Pledgors (a) have caused the Issuers to duly register the security interests granted hereby on the respective books of the Issuers and have furnished the Pledgee with evidence thereof, (b) have duly executed any financing statements with respect to the Pledged Collateral requested by the Pledgee hereunder.
 
     5. Dividends, and Voting Prior to Maturity. So long as no Event of Default exists:
 
          (a) Voting Rights. Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor; provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given by such Pledgor if the effect thereof would in the judgment of the Lender impair any of the Pledged Collateral or be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any of the provisions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All such rights of any Pledgor to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Shares shall automatically cease in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
 
          (b) Dividend and Distribution Rights. Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use any and all dividends or distributions paid in respect of its Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all non-cash dividends or distributions in the form of Shares, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, and dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with total liquidation or dissolution, shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee, to be held as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by a Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property of such Pledgor, and forthwith be delivered to Pledgee as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). All such rights of any Pledgor to receive cash dividends shall automatically cease in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
 
3
 

 

     6. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Pledgee as follows:
 
          (a) Such Pledgor has good and marketable title to, and is, at the time of delivery of the Pledged Shares to Pledgee hereunder, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor, free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting title thereto, except for the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Senior Liens.
 
          (b) None of the Pledged Shares owned by such Pledgor have been transferred in violation of applicable federal or state securities laws to which such transfer may be subject.
 
          (c) All of the Pledged Shares owned by such Pledgor have been duly authorized, validly issued, and fully paid, and are non-assessable (or the equivalent thereof, as applicable) and constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding Shares owned by such Pledgor set forth on Exhibit A.
 
          (d) With respect to Issuers which are partnerships and limited liability companies, such Pledgor is a duly constituted partner or member, as applicable, of such partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, pursuant to the partnership agreement or operating agreement, as applicable, of such Issuer.
 
          (e) No provision of any Organizational Document of any Issuer (i) prohibits, restricts, conditions or otherwise affects the grant hereunder of any Lien on any of the Pledged Collateral or any enforcement action which may be taken in respect of any such Lien or (ii) otherwise conflicts with the terms of this Pledge Agreement. To the extent there is such a prohibition, restriction, condition or conflict, each Pledgor hereby waives such provisions of such Organizational Document.
 
          (f) The Shares of any Issuer that is a partnership or a limited liability company are not governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization and are not evidenced by any certificate, unless such certificate, together with a duly executed stock power or other instrument of transfer (each in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender) executed in blank, has been delivered to the Lender.
 
          (g) The certificates of the Pledged Shares, to the extent that such interests are represented by certificates, accompanied by stock powers or other appropriate instruments of assignment thereof duly executed in blank by such Pledgor, have been delivered to the Lender.
 
          (h) The pledge, grant of a security interest in, and delivery of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, will create a valid first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Senior Liens) on and in the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor, and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Liabilities.
 
          (i) Each Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Pledge Agreement and to pledge and grant a security interest in and Lien on all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance hereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action and do not contravene any law, rule or regulation or any provision of such Pledgor’s Organization Documents or of any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any agreement or instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected or constitute a default thereunder.
 
4
 

 

          (j) This Pledge Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by the application of general equity principles.
 
          (k) No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any person and no consent or authorization of any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body is required to be made or obtained by such Pledgor either (i) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution, delivery, or performance of this Pledge Agreement by such Pledgor; or (ii) for the exercise by Pledgee of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offer and sale of securities generally.
 
          (l) As of the Closing Date, no Shares of any Issuer held and owned by such Pledgor are represented by certificates, except to the extent identified on Exhibit A hereto.
 
          (m) Such Pledgor warrants and represents to Pledgee that all representations and warranties contained in this Pledge Agreement shall be true at the time of such Pledgor’s execution of this Pledge Agreement and with each Advance made to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement.
 
     7. Taxes. Each Pledgor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Pledgor and upon the failure of such Pledgor to do so, Pledgee at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
 
     8. Covenants. Prior to the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor agrees that such Pledgor:
 
          (a) will not (i) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) except with the prior written consent of Pledgee or as expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral other than Permitted Senior Liens. If any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in violation of this Section 8, the security interest of Pledgee shall continue in the Pledged Collateral notwithstanding such sale, transfer or other disposition, and such Pledgor will deliver any proceeds thereof to the Pledgee to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder (it is acknowledged and agreed that the delivery of any such proceeds shall not be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default arising as a result of the sale, transfer or other disposal of the Pledged Collateral in violation of this Section 8).
 
5
 

 

          (b) shall, at such Pledgor’s own expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to Pledgee the benefits of the lien in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Pledge Agreement.

          (d) with respect to any Issuer that is a partnership or a limited liability company, will not permit Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization to govern the Shares of such Issuer and shall not permit the Shares of such Issuer to be certificated unless such Pledgor delivers such certificate, together with a duly executed stock power or other instrument of transfer executed in blank (all in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender), promptly (but in any event within one Business Day after receipt thereof) to Lender; and
 
          (e) upon obtaining any Shares that should be pledged pursuant to Section 2 of this Pledge Agreement, shall immediately (i) deliver to the Pledgee a duly executed Pledge Agreement Supplement in substantially the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto (a “Pledge Agreement Supplement”) identifying such additional Shares, and (ii) deliver or otherwise cause the transfer of such additional Shares (including any certificates and duly executed stock power or other instrument of transfer executed in blank, all in form scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) to the Pledgee. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to attach each Pledge Agreement Supplement to this Pledge Agreement and agrees that all Shares listed thereon shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral.
 
     9. Reclassifications. In the event that during the term of this Pledge Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment, new issuance or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the Issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new substituted and additional Shares, options, or other securities, issued or issuable to a Pledgor by reason of any such issuance, change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by Pledgee under the terms of this Pledge Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.
 
     10. Remedies.
 
     10.1 Remedies Generally. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee shall thereafter have the following rights and remedies (to the extent permitted by applicable law) in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently, at such time or times as Pledgee deems expedient:
 
          (a) if Pledgee so elects, without notice to the applicable Pledgor, Pledgee may vote any or all shares of the Pledged Shares (whether or not the same shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees) for any lawful purpose, including, without limitation, if Pledgee so elects, for the liquidation of the assets of the Issuer thereof, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Pledged Shares and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution, to do so);
 
6
 

 

          (b) Pledgee may demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement Pledgee deems suitable in respect of any Pledged Collateral;
 
          (c) Pledgee may sell, resell, assign and deliver, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, for cash or credit or both and upon such terms at such place or places, at such time or times and to such entities or other persons as Pledgee thinks expedient, all without demand for performance by any Pledgor or any notice or advertisement whatsoever except as expressly provided herein or as may otherwise be required by law;
 
          (d) Pledgee may cause all or any part of the Pledged Shares to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees; and
 
          (e) Pledgee may set off or otherwise apply or credit against the Secured Obligations any and all sums deposited with it or held by it.
 
Until all Secured Obligations are Paid in Full, the power of sale and all other rights, powers and remedies granted to Pledgee hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Pledgee at any time and from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
     10.2 Sale of Pledged Collateral. In the event of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral as provided in Section 10.1(c) and to the extent that any notice thereof is required to be given by law, Lender shall give to the applicable Pledgor at least ten (10) days prior notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) days prior notice of such sale or other disposition or sales or other dispositions shall be reasonable notice. Lender may enforce its rights hereunder without any other notice and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereunder imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Pledgor, to the fullest extent permitted by law). Lender may buy or otherwise acquire any part or all of the Pledged Collateral at any public sale or other disposition and if any part or all of the Pledged Collateral is of a type customarily sold or otherwise disposed of in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject of widely-distributed standard price quotations, Lender may buy or otherwise acquire at private sale or other disposition and may make payments thereof by any means.
 
7
 

 

     10.3 Registration of Shares. In the case of Pledged Shares that are (i) issued by an entity that is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) not freely tradeable (either based on prior registration or under Rule 144 or other exemption from registration), if Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 10, and if in the opinion of counsel for Lender it is necessary to have the Pledged Shares, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), each Pledgor agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts (including exercising any registration rights or similar rights it might have with respect to the Pledged Shares) to cause the Issuer or Issuers of the Pledged Shares contemplated to be sold, to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all at such Pledgor’s or the Issuer’s expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, advisable to register such Pledged Shares under the provisions of the Securities Act and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of nine (9) months from the date such registration statement became effective, and to make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus or both that, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Pledgor agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each issuer or issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction which Lender shall designate and to cause such Issuer or Issuers to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
 
     10.4 Private Sales. Each Pledgor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, federal banking laws, and other applicable laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall not by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or such other federal banking or other applicable laws, even if the Issuer would agree to do so. Subject to the foregoing, Lender agrees that any sale of the Pledged Shares shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner, and each Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Issuer or Issuers of the Pledged Shares contemplated to be sold, to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all at such Pledgor’s expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, advisable to exempt such Pledged Shares from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to make all amendments to such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.
 
     10.5 Pledgor’s Agreements, etc. Each Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make any sales of any portion or all of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and all applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws), regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Pledgor’s expense. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that Lender have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor by Lender and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.
 
8
 

 

     11. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Pledgee from or on account of such Pledged Collateral shall be applied by Pledgee to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Pledgee in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys’ fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Pledgee in its discretion may determine. Pledgee shall then pay any remaining balance of the Secured Obligations to Pledgors, unless otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
     12. Transfer by Pledgee. Upon the transfer of all or any part of Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Pledgee may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Secured Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Pledgee hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Pledgee shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.
 
     13. Pledgee’s Return of Pledged Collateral. Pledgee may at any time deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to the applicable Pledgor and the receipt thereof by such Pledgor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Pledged Collateral so delivered, and Pledgee shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor, except for such as is directly caused by Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined from a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.
 
     14. Marshalling. Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for (including but not limited to this Pledge Agreement and the Pledged Collateral), or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of Lender’s rights hereunder in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Pledge Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and to the extent that each Pledgor lawfully may, such Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
 
9
 

 

     15. Pledgor’s Obligations Not Affected; Waiver of Suretyship Defenses. The obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by (a) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by Lender of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any of the Secured Obligations or any security thereof (including this Pledge Agreement); (b) any amendment to or modification of the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the Secured Obligations; (c) any amendment to or modification of any instrument (other than this Pledge Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the Collateral Documents; or (d) the taking of additional security for, or any other assurances of payment of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination of any security or other assurances of payment or performance for any of the Secured Obligations; whether or not any Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby generally waiving all suretyship defenses to the extent applicable.
 
     16. Lender’s Exoneration. This Pledge Agreement constitutes a pledge of the Pledged Collateral and any other applicable collateral hereunder only, and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of Pledgors with respect thereto, and by its acceptance hereof and whether or not Pledgee shall have exercised any of its rights or remedies hereunder, the Pledgee does not undertake to perform or discharge, and Pledgee shall be responsible or liable for the performance or discharge of any such duties or responsibilities, including, without limitation, for any capital calls. Each Pledgor agrees that, notwithstanding the exercise by Pledgee any of its rights hereunder, such Pledgor shall remain liable nonetheless for the full and prompt performance of all of such Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities under any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement, or similar document evidencing or governing any units of membership interest or limited partnership interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership included in the Pledged Collateral. Under no circumstances shall Pledgee or any holder of any of the Secured Obligations as such be deemed to be a member, limited partner, or other equity owner of any of the Issuers by virtue of the provisions of this Pledge Agreement unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Pledgee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee shall not have any fiduciary duty as such to Pledgors or any other equity owner of any Issuer by reason of this Pledge Agreement, whether by virtue of the security interests and liens hereunder, or any enforcement action in respect of such security interests and liens, unless and until Pledgee is actually admitted to the applicable Issuer as a substitute member or substitute equity owner thereof after exercising enforcement rights under part 6 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the applicable jurisdiction, or in the case of foreign Issuer, under the laws of the jurisdiction of such foreign Issuer’s organization.
 
     17. Rights Not Exhaustive; Amendments; Waivers.
 
          (a) The rights, powers and remedies given to Pledgee by this Pledge Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Pledgee by virtue of any statute or rule of law. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Pledgee shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.
 
          (b) No amendment to or wavier of any provision of this Pledge Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Any forbearance, failure or delay by Pledgee in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof and every right, power and remedy of Pledgee shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed by Pledgee.
 
10
 

 

     18. Additional Pledgors. Subsidiaries of any Loan Party or other entities (each an “Additional Pledgor”) may hereafter become parties to this Pledge Agreement by executing the Pledge Agreement Supplement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, and there shall be no need to re-execute, amend or restate this Pledge Agreement in connection therewith. Upon such execution and delivery by any Additional Pledgor, such Additional Pledgor shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 hereof, and shall be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof to the same extent as if such Additional Pledgor had executed this Pledge Agreement as of the Closing Date, and the Lender shall be entitled to all of the benefits of such Additional Pledgor's obligations hereunder.
 
     19. Costs and Expenses. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Pledgee in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred upon Pledgee by this Pledge Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become a part of the Liabilities secured hereunder and shall be paid to Pledgee by the Pledgors on demand.
 
     20. Notice, etc. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 14.2 of the Loan Agreement.
 
     21. Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, all other provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the full extent possible.
 
     22. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial, etc. This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Pledge Agreement or any Loan Document may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in San Mateo County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in San Mateo County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 14.2 of the Loan Agreement, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth therein. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction. PLEDGORS AND PLEDGEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY ANY PLEDGOR AGAINST PLEDGEE OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY PLEDGEE OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR
 
11
 

 

     23. Termination. Upon the Payment in Full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor, and Pledgee shall, at any Pledgor’s request, at such Pledgor’s cost and expense, promptly return all Pledged Collateral to the applicable Pledgor. Upon such termination, Pledgee shall, at Pledgors’ cost and expense, file any Uniform Commercial Code termination statement necessary to effect such termination, and Pledgee shall, at Pledgors’ cost and expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Pledgor any additional documents or instruments as a Pledgor reasonably requests to evidence such termination.

                       Y = the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Holder is exercising its rights under this Warrant;
 
6
 

 
 

               A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the date of exercise; and
 
               B = the Warrant Price.
 
          For purposes of the above calculation, “fair market value” shall mean:
 
                (i)
if the Common Stock is listed or traded on the NASDAQ stock market or any United States securities exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ (including the OTC Bulletin Board), the twenty day volume weighted average trading price for the twenty trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date of exercise; or
     
 
(ii) 
if at any time the Common Stock is not listed or traded on any United States stock exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ, the fair market value determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved in good faith by the Holder. In the event that the Holder does not accept the valuation determined by the Board, then the Company and the Holder shall, in good faith, select an independent valuation firm mutually acceptable to each of them to conduct a valuation of the price of a Warrant Share. The Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to receive the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to it upon exercise of this Warrant calculated using the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon the determination of the independent valuation firm, the Company and the Holder will make adjustments to the issuance of Common Stock based on the determination of such independent valuation firm. The determination of such independent valuation firm shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as between the Company and the Holder for purposes herein. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the engagement of the independent valuation firm; provided that a valuation is not required more than once in any given twelve (12) consecutive month period. If at any time there will be more than one Holder, then any determination of the fair market value, made with respect to a Holder, shall apply to all the Holders, unless any party proves that a material change in the valuation of the Company has occurred since the valuation was determined.
 
          b. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional shares of Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
 
          c. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock (which, for purposes of this Section 2(c), shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.

     3. Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.
 
          a. The Holder hereby acknowledges that (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (A) under the Act on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering and (ii) the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that it is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) (A) familiar with the business and affairs of the Company and (B) knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters to the extent that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and (iii) acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same.
 
          b. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the immediately following sentence, and if such intended transferee is not an affiliate of the Holder and the intended transferee provides a duly executed written confirmation that the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) of this Warrant are true and correct as to such intended transferee, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and, if requested by the Company in writing, furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable subject to the transfer restrictions provided for herein, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, shall be the Holder as referred to in this Warrant.
 
          The proper transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded in the registry referred to in Section 8(c) upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.
 
8
 

 

          c. If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:
 
          “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”
 
          In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.
 
     4. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant and shall at all times have a sufficient number of authorized shares so as to permit the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
     5. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
 
     6. Delivery of Stock Certificate Upon Exercise. Promptly after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price (which payment shall be deemed to have occurred when the funds are immediately available to the Company), the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon exercise (and in the case of partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the Expiration Date set forth herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or Holder’s designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with the full payment of the Warrant Price, is received by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in good faith by the Company.
 
9
 

 

     7. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
 
          a. Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession. If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
 
          b. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(i).
 
          c. Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(ii).
 
10
 

 
 
          d. Anti-Dilution.
 
               (i) If, at any time during the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, (A) the Company shall make a New Issuance for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such New Issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”) or (B) the total consideration paid (including exercise price of any option, right or warrant to subscribe for any class of shares of the Company or the conversion price of any security convertible into or exchangeable for any class of shares of the Company) (other than an option, right or warrant that is an Excluded Security) is when issued or is later adjusted downward to a price that is less than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such downward adjustment (such lower consideration price or adjusted exercise price or conversion price, the “New Issuance Price”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance or downward adjustment of such exercise price or conversion price, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of this Warrant, if a part or all of the consideration received by the Company in connection with a New Issuance consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be deemed to have a fair market value as defined in Section 2(a) above.
 
               (ii) If, at any time after the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company makes a Dilutive Issuance, then, upon such issuance, the Warrant Price shall be reduced to equal the amount computed using the following formula:
 
                           A * [(C + D)/B]
       
    where:                
             
      A    =    the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
               
      B   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis);
               
      C   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis); and
               
      D   =   the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable for the total consideration to be received for the New Issuance if the purchaser paid the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issuance.

               (iii) Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 7, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
 
          e. Certain Shares Excluded. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 7 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.
 
11
 

 

          f. No Impairment. The Company will not, in any way whatsoever, including by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, or impair the economic interest of the Holder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions hereof and in the taking of all such actions and making of all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights and economic interests of the Holder against impairment.
 
     8. Notice To Holders.
 
          a. Notice of Record Date. In case:
 
               (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities;
 
               (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or
 
               (iii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
 
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to the record date therein specified; provided, however, failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the validity of such transaction.
 
          b. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of this Warrant of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.
 
          c. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant. The Holder may change such address by giving written notice of the change to the Company.
 
12
 

 

     9. Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be Registerable Shares under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2010, as such may be amended from time to time.
 
     10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor dated the date hereof.
 
     11. Warrant Holder not a Stockholder. The Holder of this Warrant, in its capacity as a warrant holder, shall not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.
 
     12. Information Rights. During the term of this Warrant and to the extent it remains the Holder of this Warrant, Hercules Technology II, L.P. shall be entitled to the information rights contained in Section 8.1 of that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 29, 2010 by and among the Company, as Borrower, certain of its subsidiaries, as Guarantors, and Hercules Technology II, L.P. as lender (the “Loan Agreement”), and Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Warrant by reference as though fully set forth herein, provided that (A) the Company shall not be required to deliver a Compliance Certificate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) once all Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed by the Company to Hercules Technology II, L.P. has been repaid, and (B) for as long as the Holder is the lender under the Loan Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make more than one delivery of each item of information pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement.
 
     13. Notices. Any notice required or contemplated by this Warrant shall be deemed to have been duly given if transmitted by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service, to the Company at its principal executive offices 1420 Rocky Ridge Drive, Suite 380, Roseville, California 95661, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, or to the Holder at the name and address set forth in the Warrant Register maintained by the Company.
