EXHIBIT B Pledge, Security and Collateral Agent Agreement
EXHIBIT B
Pledge, Security and Collateral Agent Agreement
ANESIVA, INC.
This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 20th day of
January, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Anesiva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the investors set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (each an “Investor” and
collectively, the “Investors”).
WHEREAS:
A. The Company requires additional financial support to enable the Company to maintain its operations, including continued payment of creditors and to secure additional
time to try to effect a long-term solution to the Company’s financial needs or a sale or other
liquidation of the Company in a manner to maximize the available return to creditors and stockholders of
the Company. The Company, having explored all reasonable alternatives has, therefore, requested that the Investors enter into this Agreement for the purpose of providing additional financial
support upon the terms of this Agreement. The Company, after diligent exploration, believes the terms offered by this Agreement are the only terms available to it. The Company believes that the entry of this Agreement will provide the Company with necessary financial support, helping to preserve the going concern value of the Company for the benefit of all creditors and other parties in interest, enabling the pay down of existing obligations and maximizing the returns
to creditors as compared to any of the alternatives (including any bankruptcy proceedings — which would necessarily entail substantial adverse effects to the business of the Company and
diminish value for all creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest).
B. Each of the Investors, other than entities managed or advised by CMEA Development Co. LLC, is a current stockholder of the Company.
C. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investors have agreed
upon the terms of this Agreement to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed
to sell to the Investors, securities in the form set forth in Exhibit A.
D. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, each of the
Company’s Subsidiaries (other than Anesiva Hong Kong Limited) (the “Subsidiary
Guarantors”), CMEA Ventures VII, L.P., as collateral agent of the Investors, and the Investors
are also entering into a Pledge, Security and Collateral Agent Agreement (as such may be
amended or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) in the form set forth in Exhibit B. The Security Agreement, among other things, provides that the Securities
(as defined below) issued hereunder shall be secured obligations under such Security Agreement.
E. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall guaranty the obligations of the Company arising under this Agreement and the
Related Documents (as defined below) pursuant to a form of Guaranty (as such may be amended
or modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”) in the form set forth in Exhibit C.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and
for other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amount And Terms of the Securities
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell and issue
to the Investors, severally and not jointly, and the Investors agree to purchase from the Company
securities in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, as amended or otherwise
modified from time to time, a “Security” and collectively, the “Securities”) in the aggregate
principal amount of up to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) (the “Aggregate Commitment”) with
the Company issuing Securities in aggregate principal amount of up to Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000.00) in the Initial Closing (as defined below) and issuing Securities in aggregate
principal amount of up to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) in the Subsequent Closings (as
defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2 below. All Securities shall be
issued in the same form (with such changes as may be necessary to reflect the different Investors,
principal amounts and issuance dates) and shall rank pari passu among themselves. No Securities
shall be issued at a discount. The Lenders’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint
obligations and no Lender shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or
non-performance by any other Lender hereunder.
2. The Closings
2.1 Initial Closing. The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Securities to the Investors shall take place at the offices of Cooley Godward
Kronish LLP, Five Palo Alto Square, 0000 Xx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, 00000 on the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investors mutually agree upon orally or in writing (the “Initial Closing Date”) .At the Initial Closing, the Company agrees
to issue and sell to the Investors and the Investors, severally and not jointly, agree, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5, to purchase Securities in the
aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), with each Investor
purchasing Securities in the principal amount equal to such Investor’s commitment as set forth
under the heading “Initial Closing Commitment” on Schedule 1 (in each case, their
“Initial Closing Commitment”).
2.2 Subsequent Closings. At any time prior to April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of the Company may, in its discretion, request a subsequent closing (each, a
“Subsequent Closing,” and, together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings”); provided that
(i) the amount requested by the Company in any Subsequent Closing shall not exceed Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per Closing; (ii) the Company may not request more than two
Subsequent Closings; and (iii) the request for a Subsequent Closing must be approved in
writing by the Majority Investors (as defined below). In the event that a Subsequent Closing is
triggered in accordance with this Section 2.2, then, subject to Section 5, each Investor (or its
Affiliates, designees or successor funds, as the case may be) may, in its sole discretion, purchase a
Security in the principal amount equal to the product of (i) the amount requested by the Company in the
Subsequent Closing multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) such Investor’s Initial
Closing Commitment by (b) the aggregate Initial Closing Commitment of all of the Investors
(with respect to each Investor, the “Investor Allocation Ratio”) or in such other amounts as
the Investors shall agree or in such lesser amount as such Investor, in its sole discretion, may
elect.
2
To the extent that any Investor fails to purchase its full principal amount of Securities pursuant
to its Investor Allocation Ratio in a Subsequent Closing, then all other Investors purchasing
Securities in such Subsequent Closing shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase
such unsold Security amounts pursuant to their respective Investor Allocation Ratios or in such
other amounts as the Investors shall agree. All sales at a Subsequent Closing shall be made on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event that a Subsequent Closing is
triggered in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Subsequent Closing shall take place at such
location and at such time as the Company and the Majority Investors shall mutually agree.
2.3 Delivery. At each Closing: (i) each Investor participating in such Closing will deliver
to the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to its investment amount calculated
in accordance with this Section 2 and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each such Investor a
Security dated the date of such Closing in a principal amount equal to the amount invested by such
Investor.

Investor that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3 are true, complete
and correct and accurate in all respects. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs

selling
(in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in or otherwise
distributing the same. Such Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of
the
Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a
broker-dealer. Such Investor further represents that it has full power and authority to enter
into
this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party and all such agreements, when
executed and delivered by such Investor, shall constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of
the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their respective terms
except as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent
conveyance and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditor’s rights
generally and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,

the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Such
Investor
further represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment. The foregoing,
however,
shall not be deemed in any way to limit the scope of the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 3 or the ability of the Investors to rely thereupon.

4.3 Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Such Investor acknowledges that investment in
the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without

the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available and

the
offering of the Securities.
4.7 Certain Trading Activities. Other than with respect to the transactions
contemplated herein, since the time that such Investor was first

portions of such Investor’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other

other activities with respect to the Company’s Common Stock by the Investors.
4.9 California Securities Laws. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the
sale of the Securities has not been qualified with the Commissioner of Corporations of the
State

securities is exempt from qualification by Section 25100, 25102 or 25105 of the California
Corporations Code. The rights of all parties to this agreement are expressly conditioned upon
such qualification being obtained, unless the sale is so exempt.

address of each holder of the Securities and the registration of any transfer of the Securities
(the “Register”). Included in the Register shall be notations as to whether the Securities have

transfer or assignment of the Security made in compliance with this Agreement.
6.2 Transfer. Subject to Section 4.2, each Investor shall be entitled to transfer its
Security(ies) in any manner permitted by applicable law and to the registration of such transfer by
the Company in the name of such transferee or transferees as shall be specified by the Investor. In
the event of a proposed transfer, the transferring Investor shall give written notice to the
Company of such Investor’s intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the
manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company

reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to the Company’s counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the
Security may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or (ii) a “no action” letter
from the SEC to the effect that the transfer of such Security without registration will not result
in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon
the holder of such restricted securities shall be entitled to transfer such restricted securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such holder to the Company;
provided, however, that no opinion or “no action” letter need be obtained with
respect to a transfer to: (a) an affiliate (as such term is defined in the Securities Act) of the
Investor; (b) a partner, active or retired, of the Investor; (c) the estate of any such partner; or
(d) the spouse, children, grandchildren or spouse of such children or grandchildren of any holder
or to trusts for the benefit of the Investor or such Persons. In connection with any transfer in
accordance with this Section 6.2 and at all other times hereunder, the Investor shall be entitled
to surrender its Security to the Company together with a written request for the issuance of one or
more new Securities, specifying the denomination or denominations thereof and, in the case of a
transfer of a Security, the name and address of the new transferee or transferees. As soon as
reasonably practicable, the Company shall issue a new Security bearing the same rate or return and
in the same form, in the same aggregate principal amount as the Security being surrendered,
registered in the name specified in the written request from such Investor. Each such new Security
shall be dated and bear a rate of return from the date to which returns shall have been paid on the
surrendered Security or dated the date of the surrendered Security if no returns shall have been
paid thereon. Each Security presented or surrendered for reissuance and registration of a new
Security shall be endorsed, or, in the case of a transfer of a Security, shall be accompanied by a
duly executed written instrument of transfer in an appropriate form. The applicable Investor shall
be responsible for any transfer taxes associated with the transfer of any Security. Any transferee,
by its acceptance of a Security registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be
deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
such transferee shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement, the Security Agreement
and the Guaranty to the Company and the Investors, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Majority Lenders, and, by delivering such counterpart, such transferee shall be deemed to agree to
be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty and the other
Related Documents.
16
6.3 Reliance of Register. The Company and the Investors may treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered on the Register as the absolute owner of such Security
for
all purposes, and all payments in respect of a Security made to any such Person or upon such
Person’s order shall satisfy and discharge the liability of the Company or the Investor (as
the
case may be) on such Security to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
6.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any Security shall
become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Security of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated
or
defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen
Security. In the
case of a mutilated or defaced Security, the relevant Investor shall surrender such Security
to the
Company. In the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, such Investor shall furnish to
the
Company: (i) evidence to the Company’s satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by the Company.

of the occurrence of: (i) any action, suit or proceeding before any arbitrator, court or
governmental department, domestic or foreign, pending, or to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, which if
adversely determined could have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any material dispute or
default
by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other party under any joint venture,
partnering,
distribution, cross-licensing, strategic alliance, collaborative research or manufacturing,
license
or similar agreement which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.2 Existence. The Company shall maintain and preserve the existence, present form
of business and all rights and privileges necessary or desirable in the normal course of
business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and keep all of the property of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
7.3 Insurance. The Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) obtain and
keep in force insurance in such amounts and types as is usual in the type of business
conducted
by the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, with insurance carriers having a
policyholder
rating of not less than “A” and financial category rating of Class VII in “Best’s Insurance
Guide,” unless otherwise approved by the Majority Investors. Such insurance policies must be
in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Investors, and shall list the
Collateral
Agent as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, on endorsement(s) in form
reasonably acceptable to the Majority Investors. The Company shall furnish to the Collateral
Agent such endorsements, and upon the Collateral Agent’s request, copies of any or all such
policies. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any
casualty policy will, at the Company’s option, be payable to the Company to replace the
property
subject to the claim, provided that such replacement property shall be deemed part of the
17
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then, at the Majority Investors’ option, the proceeds payable under any casualty
policy will be payable to the Investors and applied toward satisfaction of the Securities Amounts.

shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) maintain adequate books, accounts and records, and
prepare all financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting

having jurisdiction over the Company, such Subsidiary or the business of the Company or such
Subsidiary.

governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over, the Company, such Subsidiary or
the business of the Company or such Subsidiary, and with all material agreements to which the
Company or such Subsidiary is a party, except where the failure to so comply would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
7.6 Taxes and Other Liabilities. The Company shall (and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to) pay all of Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Company or such Subsidiary
when due; pay all taxes and other governmental or regulatory assessments before delinquency or

appropriate
procedures and for which the Company shall maintain appropriate reserves; and timely file all
required tax returns.
7.7 Special Collateral Covenants. The Company shall (and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to):

policies of
the Company and its Subsidiaries;

to the Majority Investors.
7.8 Financing Statements and Other Actions. The Company shall execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent all financing statements, notices and other documents
(including,
without limitation, any filings with the Patent and Trademark Office) from time to time as may
be reasonably requested by the Majority Investors to maintain a first priority perfected
security
interest in the Collateral in favor of the Investors; and perform such other acts, and execute
and
deliver to the Investors such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments,
as the Majority Investors may at any time reasonably request in connection with the
administration and enforcement of this Agreement or the Investors’ rights, powers and remedies
hereunder.
7.9 Tax Characterization. The Company and each Investor agree (and agree to
cause their respective owners or Affiliates) to treat the Securities as equity, not debt, for
all U.S.
tax purposes and not to take any position inconsistent with such U.S. tax treatment for U.S.
tax
purposes to the extent permitted by law.
7.10 Rights Offering. The Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that
the Company anticipates, upon approval by the Board of Directors, to offer to its stockholders
non-transferable subscription rights to purchase Securities in an aggregate principal amount
of up
to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). In such event, each Investor hereby agrees to waive
any right to participate in any such rights offering, except to the extent that not all of the
principal amount of Securities offered in any such rights offering are purchased by the
Company’s stockholders (excluding the Investors).
7.11 Further Assurances. The Company shall, and shall cause any of its Subsidiaries
to, take such actions as are necessary or as the Collateral Agent or the Majority Lenders may

statements, deposit account control agreements, securities account control agreement and other

certificates
and other collateral with respect to which perfection is obtained by possession) to ensure
that the
obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder and under the other Related
Documents are secured by substantially all of the assets, equity securities and personal
property
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (whether now existing or promptly upon the acquisition or
creation thereof after the date hereof).
7.12 Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional Subsidiary of the Company is formed
or acquired after the Effective Date, the Company shall, within three Business Days after such
Subsidiary is formed or acquired, (i) notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders thereof,
(ii)
cause such Subsidiary to execute and become a party to a guaranty of the obligations
hereunder,
the Security Agreement or any other security agreement, and such other Related Documents in
favor of the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent may request and (iii) pledge one hundred
percent (100%) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary (except that the Company or any of its
19
Subsidiaries shall not be required to pledge more than 65% of the outstanding voting Capital Stock
of any Subsidiary organized under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of
America) to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement or any other security
agreement. The Company agrees to provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent shall request as to
the perfection and priority status of each security interest and Lien created by such security
documents.

or
substantially all or any material amount of its assets or commence any Insolvency Proceeding
with respect to itself; or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of

Company agrees to pay to the Investors an amount equal to seven (7) times the sum of the
outstanding principal amount of the Securities, plus all accrued but unpaid returns thereon.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the payments on the Securities pursuant to this Section
8.2
shall constitute the payment in full of the Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that this Section 8.2 is a material inducement to incent the Investors to lend funds to the
Company at a time when the Company requires additional financial support to enable the
Company to maintain its operations, and after the Company, having diligently explored all
reasonable alternatives, has requested that the Investors provide additional capital for the
Company to meet its short-term obligations, help to preserve the going concern value of the
Company for the benefit of all creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest, enable
the pay
down of existing obligations and maximize the returns to creditors as compared to any of the
alternatives (including any bankruptcy proceedings — which would necessarily entail
substantial
adverse effects to the business of the Company and diminish value for all creditors,
stockholders
and other parties in interest).
8.3 Distributions. Except with the prior approval of the Majority Investors, neither

redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any stock of the Company, except that the
Company may: (i) declare and deliver dividends and distributions payable solely in Common
Stock of the Company and (ii) purchase shares or options of employees, consultants and other
service providers in accordance with stock option, stock issuance or other stock purchase
plans
and employment contracts of the Company.

collection by the Company in the ordinary course of business; (iv) Indebtedness incurred for
the
purpose of financing the acquisition of equipment provided that the principal amount therefore

borrowed
money), in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business as presently conducted.
8.5 Liens. Except with the prior written approval of the Majority Investors, neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary will create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon or
with respect to any of its properties, revenues or assets, whether now owned or hereafter

Investors
in respect of the indebtedness hereunder and under the Security Agreement and in connection

neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make loans to, investments in or purchase

9. Events of Default; Acceleration
9.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following, upon written notice by the
Majority Investors to the Company, shall constitute an “Event of Default.” An Event of Default
that has not been cured within the applicable period of time or waived by the Majority Investors
in accordance with the terms hereof shall, at the option of the Majority Investors (1) make all
sums of unpaid principal and returns on the Securities and any Securities Amounts and other
amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any Related Document immediately due and payable
(including, in the case where the underling Event of Default would trigger the Company’s
obligations set forth in Section 8.2 hereof, the sums due pursuant to Section 8.2) and (2) give
the Investors the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable
law:
(a) the Company shall fail to pay any principal or returns due under the

(c) any registration statement, proxy statement, report or other document filed
by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading;
23
(d) the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to pay or admit its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due or shall commence any Insolvency Proceeding with
respect
to itself; an involuntary Insolvency Proceeding shall be filed against the Company or any
Subsidiary, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other
similar
official shall be appointed to take possession, custody or control of the properties of the

(60) days; or the dissolution or termination of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary;
(e) the Company or any Subsidiary shall be in default beyond any applicable
period of grace or cure under any other agreement involving the borrowing of money, the

or to
any other Person that results in the acceleration of payment of such obligation in an amount
in
excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00);
(f) any governmental or regulatory authority shall take any judicial or
administrative action, or any defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or any
Subsidiary shall have any unfunded liabilities, any of which, in the reasonable judgment of
the
Majority Investors, would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect;
(g) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or a substantial or material part
of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, to any trust or
similar entity, shall occur, except where such transaction is consented to by the Majority

Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00);

Material Adverse Effect) or the Collateral shall be impaired; and
(l) the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to perform or observe any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or any Related Document (other than a covenant that is dealt with
specifically elsewhere in this Article 9) and, if capable of being cured, the breach of such
covenant is not cured within thirty (30) days after the sooner to occur of the Company’s receipt of
notice of such breach from the Majority Investors or the date on which such breach first becomes
known to any officer of the Company; provided, however, that if such breach is not
capable of being cured within such thirty (30)-day period and the Company timely notifies
24
the Majority Investor of such fact and the Company diligently pursues such cure, then the cure
period shall be extended to the date requested in the Company’s notice but in no event more than
ninety (90) days from the initial breach; provided, further, that such additional
sixty (60)-day opportunity to cure shall not apply in the case of any failure to perform or
observe any covenant which has been the subject of a prior failure within the preceding one
hundred eighty (180) days or which is a willful and knowing breach by the Company or any
Subsidiary.
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this
Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, will impair any
such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor will it be construed
to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar
breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or
default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or
conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or
otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.
9.2 Remedies Upon Default. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(c), each of (i) the unpaid principal amount of
and
accrued returns on the Securities and (ii) all other Securities Amounts shall automatically
become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and (b) upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Investors shall be entitled to, at
their
option, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the
UCC or
any other applicable law, and exercise any or all of their rights and remedies provided for in
this
Agreement and in any Related Document. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment of
any Securities Amounts is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a Investor upon, on
account
of or in connection with, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any
Subsidiary or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
9.3 Sale of Collateral. In addition to any other rights set forth in this Agreement or
any of the Related Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Investors may sell all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sales,
to
themselves, a wholesaler, retailer or investor, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery,
and at
such price or prices as the Investors may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent
permitted
by law, the Company hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any rights of stay
or
appraisal that it has or may have under any applicable law in effect from time to time. Any
such
public or private sales shall be held at such times and at such place(s) as the Investors may
determine. In case of the sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future
delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Investors until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser,
but the Investors shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to
pay for the
Collateral and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be resold. The Investors
may,
instead of exercising their power of sale, proceed to enforce their security interest in the
Collateral
25
by seeking a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is in effect:
(a) Subject to the rights of any third parties, the Investors may, in compliance
with applicable law, license, or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and
whether on
an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual
Property included in the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
conditions
and in such manner as the Investors shall in their sole discretion determine;
(b) The Investors may (without assuming any obligations or liability
thereunder), at any time and from time to time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to
enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of the Company in, to and
under any Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses or other Intellectual
Property
and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and the Company hereby releases
the
Investors from, and agrees to hold the Investors free and harmless from and against any claims
arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto other
than
claims arising out of an Investor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
(c) Upon request by the Majority Investors, the Company will execute and
deliver to the Investors a power of attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the
Majority Investors, for the implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense,
grant of
option, sale or other disposition of a Copyright, Patent, Trademark or other Intellectual
Property.
In the event of any such disposition pursuant to this clause (c), the Company shall supply its
know-how and expertise relating to the products or services made or rendered in connection with
Patents,
the manufacture and sale of the products bearing Trademarks and its customer lists and other
records relating to such Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property and to
the
distribution of said products, to the Investors.
9.4 Company’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Majority Investors after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company will:
(a) Assemble and make available to the Investors the Collateral at such place(s)
as the Majority Investors shall reasonably designate, segregating all Collateral so that each
item is
capable of identification; and
(b) Subject to the rights of any lessor, permit the Investors, by the Investors’
officers, employees, agents and representatives, to enter any premises where any Collateral is
located, to take possession of the Collateral, to complete the processing, manufacture or
repair of
any Collateral, and to remove the Collateral, or to conduct any public or private sale of the
Collateral, all without any liability of the Investors for rent or other compensation for the
use of the
Company’s premises.
10. Sharing

the Securities shall be made ratably among the Investors in accordance with their
26
respective Pro Rata Shares (as defined herein).
10.2 Security Payments on Account of Securities. Each Investor acknowledges and
agrees that all Security Payments (as defined herein) on account of the Securities shall be
made
on a pro rata basis, in accordance with each Investor’s respective Pro Rata Share at the time

the
occurrence of any Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default continues, any and all
Security Payments shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, for application to the
payment of any fees, costs and expenses of the Investors in connection with the enforcement of
the Securities and the Collateral; and (ii) second, ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, for application to the payment of (A) accrued and unpaid returns on the Securities,
then
(B) the outstanding principal of the Securities and (C) the other Securities Amounts.
10.3 Excess Security Payments. If, despite the provisions of this Section 10, any
Investor shall receive any Security Payment in excess of its Pro Rata Share to which it is
then
entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Investor shall hold such excess Security
Payment in trust for the benefit of the parties entitled thereto and promptly pay over or
deliver
such excess Security Payment to the other Investors for application in accordance with this
Agreement. Additionally, such Investor shall, if so required by the Majority Investors,
purchase
from the other Investors such participations in their respective Securities or other
Securities
Amounts as shall be required by them to permit the sharing of such excess Security Payment in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If all or any portion of such excess
Security Payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of the Company from such Investor,
each other party that shares in the benefit thereof shall return to such Investor its portion
of the
payment so recovered.
10.4 Security Payment Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Security
Payment” means any payment or distribution by or on behalf of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of
any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, on account of the Securities, any
of the
other Related Documents or any Securities Amounts (including the purchase, redemption or
other acquisition thereof), as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of
Collateral, or
by setoff, exchange or in any other manner.
10.5 Pro Rata Share Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Pro Rata
Share” of an Investor means the proportion that the unpaid principal and accrued returns on
such
Investor’s Securities bears to the aggregate unpaid principal and accrued returns on all
outstanding Securities.
10.6 Majority Investors Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Majority
Investors” means at any time Investors holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate
unpaid principal of the then outstanding Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement.
10.7 Authority of Majority Investors. Each of the Investors hereby agrees that the
Majority Investors shall have the right, power and authority to direct, on behalf of all
Investors,
the manner of any and all action taken by the Investors in respect of: (i) the demand or

27
Agreement and the Related Documents or exercise of any remedial action in respect thereof; (iii)
the exercise or non-exercise of remedies against the Collateral; (iv) the release of any
Collateral; and (v) the granting of waivers, forbearances or making of amendments in respect of
this Agreement, any Related Document or any Event of Default or any Collateral. Any such direction
by or approval of the Majority Investors shall be binding on all Investors and each Investor
agrees to join in any action or proceeding commenced by the Majority Investors hereunder and/or to
otherwise assist the Majority Investors with respect to any such direction or approval. Without
limitation to the foregoing, each of the Investors agrees to execute and deliver such documents or
instruments (including where appropriate powers of attorney) and do all such things as may be
required by the Majority Investors in connection with the exercise of their authority hereunder.
10.8 Prohibited Actions. Without prejudice or limitation to any of the foregoing,
except with the prior written approval of the Majority Investors, no Investor shall commence,
or
if already commenced shall continue in, any of the following actions:
(a) accelerate or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original stated
maturity thereof any of the Securities or other Securities Amounts or bring suit or institute
any
other actions or proceedings to enforce its rights or interests under or in respect of this
Agreement
or any of the Related Documents;
(b) exercise any right of set-off, counterclaim, banker’s lien or other claim it
may have against the Company or any other Person with respect to the Securities or other
Securities Amounts;
(c) exercise any rights under or with respect to (A) guaranties of the Securities
or other Securities Amounts, or (B) any Collateral, including causing or compelling the pledge
or
delivery of any Collateral, any attachment of, levy upon, execution against, foreclosure upon
or the
taking of other action against or institution of other proceedings with respect to any
Collateral,
notifying any account debtors of the Company or asserting any claim or interest in any
insurance
with respect to any Collateral, or release any Collateral or other guaranties; or
(d) commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor in
commencing, any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding against the Company or any
Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Collateral Agent may exercise its rights under the Security
Agreement and any other Related Documents.
10.9 Exculpation among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that no
other Investor (nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or
attorneys) has
represented it or otherwise been responsible for acting for it in connection with the
preparation,
negotiation or execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents and
that each Investor has made its own independent review and appraisal of, and sought its own
independent advice (and if it has not sought such advice assumes the risks associated with not
obtaining such advice) regarding, the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents and
the structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the scope and nature of the
28
Collateral, the financial or other condition of the Company, its Subsidiaries and all other
matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby. No Investor shall have any obligation or duty to ensure the compliance by the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or any Investor with the conditions specified in any of this Agreement or
the Related Documents for any extension of credit to the Company. Each Investor by executing this
Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted and to be satisfied with,
each document or other matter required to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to the Investors. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) no Investor has any
implied or other duties to any other Investor or anyone else; (ii) except as otherwise expressly
agreed herein, each Investor can advance its own interests as it sees fit; and (iii) no other role
or position of any Investor or any Affiliate, officer, employee, attorney or agent of any Investor
with respect to the Company, Investor or any other Person, shall impair or alter any of the
Investor’s rights or otherwise create any liability or obligation to the other Investors.
10.10 Independent Investigation. Each Investor has itself been, and will continue to
be, based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, solely responsible
for making its own independent appraisal of, and investigations into, the financial condition,
creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries
and the nature and value of any the Securities and any other Securities Amounts. Accordingly,
each Investor confirms to the other Investors that it has not relied, and will not hereafter
rely, on
the other Investors: (i) to check or inquire on such Investor’s behalf into the adequacy,
accuracy
or completeness of any information provided by the Company or any other Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Related Documents (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to
such
Investor) or (ii) to assess or keep under review on such Investor’s behalf, the financial
condition,
creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Company, any Subsidiary or the
nature or value of any Collateral.
10.11 Other Activities. Each of the Investors and its Affiliates may make loans to,
acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial
advisory,
underwriting, equity investment, venture capital or other business with the Company, or the
Investors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Investor was not an Investor
hereunder and without notice to or consent of the other Investors. The Investors acknowledge
that, pursuant to such activities, an Investor or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding
the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Investor shall
be
under no obligation to provide such information to them.
10.12 Collateral Agent. Each Investor and each subsequent holder of any Security by
its acceptance thereof, hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as the collateral
agent
for such Investor hereunder and under the other Related Documents and authorizes the
Collateral
Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to
the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not have any
duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the Related Documents, or
any
fiduciary relationship with any Investor, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Collateral Agent shall be read into this
29
Agreement or any Related Documents or otherwise exist for the Collateral Agent. In performing its
functions and duties hereunder or under the Related Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act
solely as agent for the Investors and does not assume, nor shall be deemed to have assumed, any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Company, any Subsidiary of the
Company or any of their respective successors or assigns. The Collateral Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is
contrary to this Agreement, the Related Documents or applicable laws.
10.13 Sole Benefit of Investors. This Section 10 has been entered into for the sole
protection and benefit of the Investors and their successors and assigns, and no other Person,
including, but not limited to, the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be a direct or indirect
beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with,
this Section 10.
11. Indemnification
The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Investors and their directors, officers,
employees, agents, counsel, Affiliates and other advisors (each an “Indemnified Person”) against,
and hold each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified
Person (including allocated costs of internal counsel), that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnified Person (i) in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any of the Related Documents, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the
Securities, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) the breach or default by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or any of the Related Documents and
(iii) with respect to any investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, irrespective of whether the Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto (the
“Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent
that they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the
foregoing indemnification is for any reason held unenforceable, the Company agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that
is permissible under applicable law.
12. Miscellaneous
12.1 Binding Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Company and the Investors and their respective successors and assigns.
The Company may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits,
obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of the Majority
Investors. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the
Company without the prior express written consent of the Majority Investors shall be void. Nothing
in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any third party any rights,
remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
30
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
12.2 Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration; Dispute Resolution.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws
of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. The
Company
hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the County of San Francisco,
State
of California and the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the Northern District of
the State
of California for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and the Related Documents; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts; (iii) irrevocably waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any objection that it now or hereafter may have to the laying of
venue
of any such action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, and any objection on
the
ground that any such action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient
forum; and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
permitted by law.
(b) The parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim (including any
counterclaim) (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Related
Documents shall be finally resolved by confidential binding arbitration in San Francisco
County,
California as the sole and exclusive method of resolving such dispute, controversy or claim.
Any
Dispute shall be settled by arbitration under the rules then in effect of JAMS/Endispute
conducted
by a single arbitrator reasonably acceptable to the parties. The arbitrator shall have no
power to
amend this Agreement or any Related Documents. The arbitrator shall issue an award in writing
(including an explanation of the grounds for such award) as promptly as practicable that shall
be
final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon any award thus obtained may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising
out of
or related to this Agreement or any Related Documents shall be instituted in any court by any
party
except (a) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.2(b); or (b) an action
to
enforce an award obtained in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section
12.2(b).
Pending the submission to arbitration and thereafter until the arbitrator publishes its award,
each
party shall, except in the event of termination, continue to perform all its obligations under
this
Agreement and the Related Documents without prejudice to a final adjustment in accordance with
