Borrower: Edgewave, Inc., a Delaware corporation
Address:

Date:
January 30, 2011
 
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on the above date (the “Effective Date”) between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH III, L.P. (“PFG”), whose address is 150 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94111 and the borrower(s) named above (jointly and severally, the “Borrower”), whose chief executive offices are located at the above addresses  (“Borrower’s Address”). The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) being signed by the parties concurrently, is an integral part of this Agreement.  (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 7 below.)
 
1.LOANS.
 
1.1  Loans. PFG will make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in the amount shown on the Schedule and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at any time a Loan is requested or made.
 
1.2   Interest.  All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement.  Interest shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month. Overdue interest and other monetary Obligations may, in PFG’s discretion, be charged to Borrower’s loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the Loan.
 
1.3  Fees.  Borrower shall pay PFG the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to PFG and are not refundable.
 
1.4  Loan Requests.  All requests made by Borrower in connection with the Loan shall be made by facsimile or email, but the same shall not be deemed made until PFG acknowledges receipt of the same by email or otherwise in writing. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon Pacific time will not be considered to have been received by PFG until the next Business Day.  PFG may rely on any telephone request for a Loan given by a person whom PFG believes in good faith is an authorized representative of Borrower and Borrower will indemnify PFG for any loss PFG suffers as a result of that reliance, unless caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of PFG.
 
1.5  Late Fee.  If any payment of accrued interest for any month or any other monetary Obligation then due and payable is not made within three business days after the later of the date a bill therefor is sent by PFG or three business days after the due date therefor, or if any payment of principal or any other payment is not made within three Business Days after the date due, then Borrower shall pay PFG a late payment fee equal to 5% of the amount of such overdue monetary Obligations in the first such instance of late payment and 10% of the amount of each future such overdue monetary Obligation occurring thereafter.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as PFG’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts when due, and PFG’s acceptance of any such late payments shall not restrict PFG’s exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure, unless caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of PFG.
 
 
2.  SECURITY INTEREST.
 
2.1  Grant of Security Interest.  To secure the payment and per­formance of all of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to PFG a continuing security interest in, and pledges to PFG, all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):  all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property); all Investment Property; all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds  (including proceeds of any insurance policies, pro­ceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrower’s books relating to any and all of the above.

3.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER.
 
In order to induce PFG to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to PFG as follows, and Borrower covenants that the fol­lowing representations will continue to be true, and that Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and thereafter until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:
 
3.1  Corporate Existence and Authority.  Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.  Borrower shall give PFG 30 days’ prior written notice before changing its jurisdiction or form of organization. Borrower is and will con­tinue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all ju­risdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a material adverse effect on Borrower or its business. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as en­forcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower’s Constitutional Documents, or any law or any  material agreement or instru­ment which is binding upon Borrower its property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instru­ment which is binding upon Borrower or its property.
 
3.2  Name; Trade Names and Styles.  As of the date hereof, the name of Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name, as set forth in its Constitutional Documents.  Listed in the Representations are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower’s present and prior trade names as of the date hereof.  Borrower shall give PFG 30 days' prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name.  Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, if applicable to Borrower.
 
3.3  Place of Business; Location of Collateral.  As of the date hereof, the ad­dress set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office.  In addition, as of the date hereof, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations.  Borrower will give PFG at least 30 days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief execu­tive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that Borrower may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $25,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.
 
3.4  Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.  
 
(a)Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower.  The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.  PFG now has, and will continue to have, a First-Priority perfected and enforceable security in­terest in all of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend PFG and the Collateral against all claims of others.  
 
(b)Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, and Borrower will give PFG five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to PFG a Control Agreement in form sufficient to perfect PFG’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business judgment.  
 
(c)In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall promptly notify PFG thereof in writing and provide PFG with such information regarding the same as PFG shall request (unless providing such information would waive the Borrower’s attorney-client privilege).  Such notification to PFG shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to PFG, and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as PFG shall request in connection therewith.
 
(d) No Non-Trivial part of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture.  Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or im­pair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises.  Whenever any Collateral with  an aggregate value in excess of $10,000 is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall, whenever requested by PFG, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to exe­cute and deliver to PFG, in form acceptable to PFG, such waivers and subordinations as PFG shall specify in its good faith business judgment.  Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

3.5  Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose.  Borrower will promptly advise PFG in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.
 
3.6  Books and Records.  Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system in ac­cordance with GAAP.
 
3.7  Financial Condition, Statements and Reports.  All Financial Statements now or in the future delivered to PFG have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly present the results of operations and fi­nancial condition of Borrower in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the pe­riods therein stated.  Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to PFG and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
 
3.8  Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.  Borrower has timely filed, and will timely file, all Non-trivial required Tax Returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all Non-trivial Taxes now or in the future owed by Borrower.  Borrower may, however, defer pay­ment of any of the foregoing which are contested by Borrower in good faith, provided that Borrower (i) contests the same by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently insti­tuted and conducted, (ii) notifies PFG in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds, stays or takes any other steps required to keep the same from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral.  Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in additional Taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower.  Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all pre­sent and future pension, profit sharing and deferred com­pensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, in­cluding any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other Governmental Body.
 
3.9  Compliance with Law.  Borrower has, to the best of its knowledge, complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower or its business, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal prop­erty, the conduct and licensing of Borrower's business, and all environmental matters.
 
3.10  Litigation.  There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investiga­tion pending or (to best of Borrower’s knowledge) threat­ened against or affecting Borrower in any court or before any Governmental Body (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which could reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change.  Borrower will promptly inform PFG in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrower involving any single claim of $50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate.
 
3.11  Use of Proceeds.  All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for lawful business purposes.  Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock.”
 
3.12  No Default.  At the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no Default or Event of Default will have occurred after giving effect to any Loans being made concurrently herewith.
 
3.13 Protection and Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.  Borrower owns or otherwise hold the right to use all intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks, Domain Rights (as defined below), trade secrets and computer software, necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  Borrower shall: (a) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property, other than intellectual property that is not material to Borrower’s business and that Borrower has affirmatively determined not to maintain or to abandon; (b) promptly advise PFG in writing of material infringements of its intellectual property; and (c) not allow any intellectual property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without PFG’s written consent.  If, before the Obligations have been paid and/or performed in full, Borrower shall (i) acquire or apply for registration of any trademark, service mark or trade name, (ii) apply for registration of any patent or obtain any patent or patent application; (iii) create or acquire any published or material unpublished works of authorship material to the business that is or is to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office or any non-U.S. equivalent; or (iv) register or acquire any domain name or domain name rights, then the provisions of Section 2.1 shall automatically apply thereto, and Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to give PFG advance written notice thereof and in any event shall thereafter give PFG prompt written notice thereof (which for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be not more than three (3) Business Days). Borrower shall further provide PFG with all information and details relating to the foregoing and take such further actions as PFG may reasonably request from time to time to enable PFG to perfect or continue the perfection of PFG's interest in such Collateral.

4.  ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF BORROWER.
 
Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants throughout the term of this Agreement:
 
4.1  Financial and Other Covenants.  Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
 
4.2.  Remittance of Proceeds. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to PFG in the original form in which re­ceived by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as PFG shall determine; pro­vided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to PFG (i) the proceeds of Accounts arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) the pro­ceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment dis­posed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).  Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral (other than those described in subclauses (i) and (ii) above) with any of Borrower's other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for PFG, except as set forth above, and subject to the rights of the Senior Lender. PFG may, in its good faith business judgment, require that all proceeds of Collateral be de­posited by Borrower, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, into a Lock-Box account, or such other "blocked account" as PFG may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as PFG may specify in its good faith business judgment.  Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposi­tion of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
 
4.3  Insurance.  Borrower shall at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably accept­able to PFG, in such form and amounts as PFG may reasonably require and as are customary and in accordance with standard practices for Borrower’s industry and locations, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to PFG.  All such insurance policies shall name PFG as an additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee en­dorsement in form reasonably acceptable to PFG.  Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, PFG shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as PFG shall determine in its good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, PFG shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds totaling less than $200,000, which shall, in the case of Equipment, be utilized by Borrower for the re­placement of the Equipment with respect to which the in­surance proceeds were paid, unless PFG consents to a different use of such proceeds upon Borrower request. PFG may require reason­able assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used.  If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any in­surance, PFG may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense.  Borrower shall promptly de­liver to PFG copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.
 
4.4  Reports.  Borrower, at its expense, shall provide PFG with the written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with respect to Borrower (including budgets, projections, operating plans and other financial documentation), as PFG shall from time to time specify in its good faith business judgment.
 
4.5  Access to Collateral, Books and Records.  At rea­sonable times, and on three (3) Business Days” notice, PFG, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's books and records. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall repre­sent PFG’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and no prior inspection or audit has revealed material deficiencies or inaccuracies in Borrower’s books and records, only one such inspection and audit shall be at Borrower’s expense during any calendar year. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, PFG shall use reasonable commercial efforts to coordinate with the Senior Lender or rely upon audits conducted by the Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to disclose to PFG any document or information (i) where disclosure is prohibited by applicable law or any agreement binding on Borrower, or (ii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.  If Borrower is withholding any information under the preceding sentence, it shall so advise PFG in writing, giving PFG a general description of the nature of the information withheld.

8.1  Confidentiality.  PFG agrees to use the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information, to maintain the confidentiality of any and all proprietary, trade secret or confidential information provided to or received by PFG from the Borrower, which indicates that it is confidential, including business plans and forecasts, non-public financial information, confidential or secret processes, formulae, devices and contractual information, customer lists, and employee relation matters, provided that PFG may disclose such information (i) to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, affiliates, participants, prospective participants, assignees and prospective assignees, and such other Persons to whom PFG shall at any time be required to make such disclosure in accordance with applicable law or legal process, and (ii) in its good faith business judgment in connection with the enforcement of its rights or remedies after an Event of Default, or in connection with any dispute with Borrower or any other Person relating to Borrower.  The confidentiality agreement in this Section supersedes any prior confidentiality agreement of PFG relating to Borrower.
 
8.2  Interest Computation.  In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 Noon, Pacific Time, on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
 
8.3 Payments. If no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied (i) first, to accrued and unpaid interest and fees (ii) second, to the principal amount of Loans then due and payable and (iii) third, as a prepayment of principal Obligations not then due. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied, and in PFG's good faith business judgment reversed and re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as PFG shall determine in its good faith business judgment.
 
8.4  Monthly Accountings.  PFG shall provide Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement.  Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and bind­ing on Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of er­rors discovered by PFG), unless Borrower notifies PFG in writing to the contrary within 90 days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any al­leged errors or omissions.
 
8.5  Notices.  All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either personally, or by reputable private delivery service, or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt re­quested, or by fax to the most recent fax number a party has for the other party (and if by fax, sent concurrently by one of the other methods provided herein), or by electronic mail to the most recent electronic mail address for Borrower provided for the chief financial officer or financial controller executing the Representations (and if by electronic mail, with an electronic delivery and/or read receipt), addressed to PFG or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this Agreement, in the Representations or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the other party.

8.6  Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
 
8.7  Integration.  This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be exe­cuted in connection herewith are the final, entire and com­plete agreement between Borrower and PFG and super­sede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement.  There are no oral under­standings, representations or agreements between the par­ties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith.
 
8.8  Waivers; Indemnity.  The failure of PFG at any time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the pro­visions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive or diminish any right of PFG later to demand and re­ceive strict compliance therewith.  Any waiver of any de­fault shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar.  None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of PFG or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of PFG and delivered to Borrower.  Borrower waives the benefit of all statutes of limitations relating to any of the Obligations or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of de­fault or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, re­lease, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by PFG on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by PFG, unless expressly required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify PFG and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attor­neys' fees), of every kind, which they may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Obligations, or any relationship or agreement between PFG and Borrower, or any other matter, relating to Borrower or the Obligations; provided that this indemnity shall  not extend to damages proximately caused by the indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.
 
8.9  No Liability for Ordinary Negligence.  Neither PFG, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG shall be liable for any claims, de­mands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of PFG, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG, but nothing herein shall relieve PFG from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
8.10  Amendment.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized offi­cer of PFG.
 
8.11  Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
 
8.12  Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Borrower shall reim­burse PFG for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all fil­ing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by PFG, pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs PFG incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present and future documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; en­force, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute ac­tions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceed­ing; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; exam­ine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower's books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce PFG’s secu­rity interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent PFG in any litigation relating to Borrower. If either PFG or Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reason­able costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the en­forcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, de­cree, award or judgment.  All attorneys' fees and costs to which PFG may be entitled pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrower's Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

8.13  Benefit of Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and PFG; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of PFG, and any prohibited assignment shall be void.  No consent by PFG to any assignment shall re­lease Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
 
8.14  Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim with, or the re­lease of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
 
8.15  Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower on the one hand and PFG on the other hand against the other party, its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, incurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Borrower or PFG, as the case may be, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by a party by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by (a) the filing of a complaint within one year after the earlier to occur of (i) the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated, and (b) the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of Borrower or PFG, as the case may be, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of such party, within thirty (30) days thereafter.  The parties agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for a party to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action.  The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of the other party in its sole discretion.  This provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
8.16  Loan Monitoring.  At rea­sonable times and upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower, PFG shall have the right to visit personally with Borrower up to two times per calendar year at its principal place of business or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, for the purpose of meeting with Borrower’s management in order to remain as up-to-date with Borrower’s business as is practicable and to maintain best practices in terms of lender loan monitoring and diligence. Reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including travel and lodging for up to two PFG staff for one of the two visits shall be at Borrower’s expense and reimbursed in the same manner as other PFG expenses under this Agreement.
 
8.17  Paragraph Headings; Construction.  Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience.  Borrower and PFG acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applica­ble paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against PFG or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise. Amounts set off in brackets or parentheses are negative. The word “shall” is mandatory, the word “may” is permissive, and the word “or” is not exclusive. The term “Agreement” includes the Schedule.
 
9.18  Correction of Loan Documents. PFG may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as PFG provides Borrowers with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) Business Days to object to such correction.  In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both PFG and Borrower.
 
8.19  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.  This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of PFG and Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.  As a ma­terial part of the consideration to PFG to enter into this Agreement, Borrower (i) agrees that all actions and pro­ceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall, at PFG's option, be litigated in courts located within California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be San Francisco County; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal de­livery or any other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Borrower may have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such action or proceeding.

8.20  Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND PFG EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FU­TURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN PFG AND BORROWER, OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF PFG OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH PFG OR BORROWER, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.  WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the San Francisco County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

Address:

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH III, L.P. and the above-borrower of even date.  
 
 
1.  LOAN (Section 1.1):
 
 
The Loan shall consist of a term loan in the principal amount of $1,500,000, all of which shall be disbursed within one (1) Business Day of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this Schedule (or waiver or deferral thereof by PFG, in its discretion).
 
 
Repayment:
The principal amount of the Loan shall be repaid in 36 equal principal payments of $41,666,67 each, plus interest, commencing on March 1, 2012 (such first principal payment accompanied by a payment of interest accrued during the month of February), and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date on which date the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid.
 
 
Prepayment:
The principal of the Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part during the first year from the Effective Date. During the second year from the Effective Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part subject to payment of a prepayment fee equal to three percent (3%) of the amount(s) prepaid. During the third year from the Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part subject to payment of a prepayment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount(s) prepaid. Principal prepayments shall be applied to the principal payments on the Loan in the inverse order of their maturity.
 
 
2.  INTEREST.
 
 
 
Interest Rate (Section 1.2):
 
 
The Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum, fixed.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and a year of twelve months of 30 days each for the actual number of days elapsed. Accrued interest for each month shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month.
 
3.  FEES (Section 1.3):

(Section 4.1):Borrower shall comply with each of the following covenants.  Compliance shall be determined as of the end of each month, except as otherwise specifically provided below:
 
 
Cumulative Modified Net
 
 
Income / (Loss):
Borrower shall maintain Cumulative Modified Net Income / (Loss) during the 2012 calendar year of not less than ($3,000,000) (with dollar figures in parentheses denoting a negative number). For example if Borrower had a Cumulative Modified Net Loss of ($1,000,000) in January 2012 and a further Net Loss of ($1,500,000) in February 2012, Borrower would breach this Financial Covenant if it had a Modified Net Loss of more than ($500,000) in the month of March 2012.
 
 
For purposes of these Financial Covenants, “Modified Net Income / Loss” means total Eligible Billings less GAAP expenses of COGS, operating expenses, plus amortization of stock based compensation, depreciation, estimates for bad debt and other non-cash accounting charges such as impairment of goodwill or long lived assets.
 
 
For each month during the first calendar quarter of 2013, on a rolling three-month basis, tested monthly at the end of each month, Borrower shall maintain Modified Net Income / (Loss) of at least eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s Board-approved forecast/financial plan for Modified Net Income / (Loss) for such period. For example only, the required minimum Modified Net Income / (Loss) for the measurement month of January 2013 would include the months of November 2012, December 2012 and January 2013.
 
 
For periods after the first calendar quarter of 2013, on a rolling three-month basis, tested monthly at the end of each month, Borrower shall maintain Modified Net Income / (Loss) of at least $1.00.
