Provided that the conditions in Sections 6 and 7 and elsewhere in this Agreement are met, We will lend to You the Commitment Amount as reflected on Page 1 of this Agreement and You agree to use such proceeds only to finance Equipment, as defined below. We will lend to You advances (each an “Advance”) in minimum amounts as set forth on Page 1 of this Agreement up to a maximum of the Commitment Amount as provided on Page 1. Our obligation to fund Advances under this Agreement will end on the last day of the Availability Period noted on Page 1.

9. | THE MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST |
Maximum Rate of Interest. It is not Our intent to receive interest at a rate greater than the maximum rate permissible by law, which We shall call the “maximum rate”. If a court determines You have actually paid Us interest based on a rate that exceeds the maximum rate, then We shall apply the excess as follows: first, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Our accrued interest and any other principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us in respect of the Secured Obligations; and third, after all amounts owed by You to Us are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to You.
Default Interest. In the event that You do not pay any interest when due, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Page 1. Upon and during an Event of Default, all principal, interest or other amounts owed by You to Us shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Page 1 plus five percent (5%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).
10. | YOU OWN THE EQUIPMENT AND GRANT USA SECURITY INTEREST |
You grant to Us a first priority, continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of Your right, title and interest in all Equipment financed under this Agreement now existing or acquired in the future, wherever it may be located, and all proceeds of such Equipment and all additions, upgrades, and accessions to, substitutions and replacements for such Equipment, together with all attachments, components, parts, and accessories installed thereon or affixed thereto, and rents, profits and products thereof (collectively, the “Collateral”).
11. | HOW AND WHAT WILL YOU PAY US |
• | Payments. The principal balance of each Promissory Note shall accrue interest at the percentage per year as indicated on Page 1 of this Agreement, and shall be computed daily on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable, and interest shall accrue from the date on which the Advance evidenced by such Promissory Note is funded to You. Each Promissory Note shall be due in forty-two (42) equal monthly installments of principal and interest, payable on the last day of each month through the last payment date (unless that date falls on a weekend or national holiday in which event such payment shall be due on the previous business day). The first payment date for each Advance will be the last day of the month in which the Advance was funded. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that We will receive the entire amount of any Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement, regardless of the source of payment. |
Any amounts that You repay on the Advances may not be re-borrowed.
• | Adjustment of Payment Terms. If on or before March 31, 2013, (i) You have issued and sold additional shares of Your capital stock since the Closing Date for aggregate gross cash proceeds of at least $40,000,000 (excluding any amounts received upon conversion or cancellation of indebtedness), subject to confirmation satisfactory to Us, (the “Milestone Equity Event”), (ii) You are current on all payments due and payable in respect of all Secured Obligations, (iii) no Default or Event of Default (as defined in Section 16) has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) You have delivered to Us written notice no later than ten (10) days after the closing of the Milestone Equity then You may elect (by delivery to Us of a written notice of such election), effective as of the last day of the month during which in which You have provided Us the notice of election, to extend the monthly installments of principal and interest under each Promissory Note by an additional three months for total monthly installments of forty-five (45) months. In the event You elect this option, amended and restated Promissory Note(s) shall be issued by You in favor of Us to evidence the adjustment payment term. |
• | Miscellaneous. Payments are due electronically by automatic debit through Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment on or before the last day of each month. You agree to fill out and execute the electronic funds transfer/automatic debit Authorization form that We provide. If We do not receive any payments from You within two (2) business days after they are due (through no fault of Our own), You will pay a late charge on the overdue amount. The late charge will be equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due for each month not paid when due and until such time as payment is received. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, |
5
impositions or other charges, to the end that We will receive the entire amount of any Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement, regardless of the source of payment. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Secured Obligations, and such interest shall then accrue interest at the rate then applicable under this Agreement and the applicable Promissory Note. |
12. | INSURANCE, RISK OF LOSS, AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT |
So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), You agree to the following:
• | You relieve Us of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or destruction of the Collateral (except to the extent of Our gross negligence or willful misconduct). |
• | You shall carry and maintain insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, including the perils of fire and windstorm in an amount not less than either (i) the replacement value of the Collateral or (ii) the greater of the fair market value of the Collateral or the lump sum of the unpaid balance of the remaining monthly payments under this Agreement plus the percentage used to calculate the End of Term Payment, if any, of the Collateral’s original purchase price. You shall carry and maintain casualty insurance for each item of Collateral from an insurance provider who is acceptable to Us. All such insurance shall be in form, with companies, and in amounts reasonably acceptable to Us (the insurance in effect as of the Closing Date is acceptable to Us). |
• | You shall submit to Us certificates of insurance, which reflect Your compliance with Your insurance obligations under this Agreement. The certificates of insurance shall state that (i) We are an additional insured and a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance; (ii) the coverage evidenced is primary and non-contributory to any insurance obtained by Us; and (iii) a waiver of subrogation in favor of Us has been agreed to. The certificates shall further provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Us of cancellation or any other change adverse to Our interests. Any failure by Us to scrutinize such insurance certificates is not a waiver of any of Our rights, all of which are reserved. |
• | You shall provide Us with certificates or other evidence of insurance reasonably acceptable to Us upon the occurrence of Our funding each Promissory Note. In the event that You do not provide Us with proof of insurance within thirty (30) days of the Advance Date of a Promissory Note, We will obtain such insurance on Your behalf and charge You for such insurance, plus a twenty percent (20%) administrative surcharge. |
• | If the Collateral is ever damaged, You will promptly repair it, unless such Collateral is either lost or totally destroyed. Within fifteen (15) days of the loss or total destruction of the Collateral, You must provide written notice of that loss to Us. You will have the option to either: (a) replace the item of Collateral with the same or better model, type, manufacturer and configuration, or (b) prepay the applicable portion of the Advances by paying the outstanding principal amount for such Collateral, accrued interest and the End of Term Payment related to that portion paid |
• | If any insurance proceeds are paid as a result of any such loss or damage to the Collateral, You agree that such insurance proceeds shall be paid to Us and We will apply it towards Your payment obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such proceeds are used by You to repair the Collateral subject to loss. |
• | You agree to carry bodily injury and property damage liability insurance during the term of any Promissory Note and against risks customarily insured against. Your insurance certificate shall state that We are an additional insured for commercial general liability. |

11
capital investors shall not constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder so long as You identify to Us the venture capital investors prior to the closing of the transaction. |
• | Investor Support. We have determined, in Our good faith judgment after consultation with You and Your investors, that it is the intention of Your current equity investors to not continue to fund, or arrange for the funding of, You in the amounts and timeframe reasonably necessary to enable You to satisfy the Secured Obligations as they become due and payable. If You obtain equity financing from third-party investors sufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations as they become due and payable, no Event of Default will occur. |

17. | WHAT HAPPENS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT |
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, We can at Our option, and without notice to You:
• | Terminate Our commitment to make any future Advances under this Agreement; |
• | Terminate Our obligation to permit the principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us to remain outstanding; |
• | Recover all sums due and accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the principal, unpaid interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of a default of the type described in Section 16, Paragraph entitled “Bankruptcy, Attachment, Other”, the Promissory Notes and all of the principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us shall automatically be accelerated and made immediately due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act). Upon after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Promissory Notes and advances and all outstanding principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us, including all professional fees and expenses, shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 9); |
• | Enter Your premises, without notice and process of law and in compliance with Your security requirements, to remove and repossess the Collateral without being liable to You for damages due to the repossession, except those resulting from Our or Our assignees’ negligence and charge You for the cost of repossession, storing and shipping the Collateral. With respect to any of premises that You own, You hereby grant to Us a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Our rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; and |
• | Pursue any other remedy permitted by law, equity or otherwise. |
We may exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to Us under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral.

All Our rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
In addition to the power of attorney granted in Section 14, effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, You hereby irrevocably appoint Us (and any of Our designated officers, agents, attorneys or employees) as Your true and lawful attorney to (a) dispose of any Collateral; and (b) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Your policies of insurance as they relate to the Collateral. Our appointment as Your attorney in fact, and each and every one of Our rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Our obligation to provide Advances hereunder is terminated.
12
18. | WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE IN DEFAULT AND WE EXERCISE OUR REMEDIES |
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, We may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as We may elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at Your place of business or elsewhere. You agree that any such public or private sale may occur upon Our ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to You. We may require You to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Us at a place We designate that is reasonably convenient to Us. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priorities:
First, to Us in an amount sufficient to pay in full Our costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses;
Second, to Us in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of all the principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us under the Loan Documents, in such order and priority as We may choose in Our sole discretion; and
Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in Cash of all of the principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to You or Your representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
We shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.

Nothing contained in this section shall obligate You to accept any proposal offered by Us. The right of first refusal offered by You under this Agreement is a material inducement to Us entering into this Agreement with You.
21. | OTHER LEGAL PROVISIONS YOU WILL ABIDE BY |
Continuation of Security Interest. This is a continuing agreement and the grant of the security interest and Lien hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all of Our rights, powers and remedies shall continue to exist until all of the principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us under this Agreement (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are fully and finally paid in cash and We have no further obligation to make Advances. We shall file a termination statement and provide proof of filing to You within three (3) days after the full and final payment in cash of all of the principal, interest, owed by You to Us hereunder, reassigning to You, without recourse except for Our acts, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returning possession of the Collateral to You. Our rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to Our other rights, powers and remedies.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and associated Promissory Notes supersede all other oral or written agreements or understandings between the Parties concerning the Collateral. ANY AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR A PROMISSORY NOTE MAY ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A DOCUMENT WITH SIGNATURES FROM EACH OF THE PARTIES.
Headings. Headings used in this Agreement are for reference and convenience of the Parties only and shall have no substantive effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.
No Waiver. No action taken by Us or You will be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or Promissory Note. The waiver by Us of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or a Promissory Note will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
14
Survival of Obligations. The indemnification, obligations, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, any Promissory Note or in any document delivered in connection with those agreements are for the benefit of The Parties and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Further, such indemnification shall survive expiration and termination of this Agreement.
Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on You and Your permitted assigns (if any). You shall not assign Your obligations under this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or any of the other Loan Documents without Our express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. You acknowledge and understand that We may sell and assign all or part of Our interest hereunder and under the Promissory Note(s) and all other related Loan Documents to any person or entity to be known as assignee provided, however, that if no Event of Default has occurred, We may not sell and assign any part of Our interest to a direct competitor of You, as determined by Your board of directors in good faith. In addition, We may not sell and assign Our obligation to make Advances under this Agreement without Your prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After such assignment the term “We” “Us” and “Our” as used in the Loan Documents will mean and include such assignee, and such assignee will be vested with all Our rights, powers and remedies hereunder and shall have Our duties with respect to the interest that You have granted Us; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, We shall retain all rights, powers and remedies. No such assignment will relieve You of any of Your obligations. We agree that in the event of any transfer of the Promissory Note(s), We will denote on the Promissory Note a notation as to the portion of the principal and interest of the Promissory Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and the date of the transfer.
Consent To Jurisdiction And Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to personal jurisdiction in San Mateo County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in San Mateo County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in this Section, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth therein. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
Mutual Waiver Of Jury Trial; Judicial Reference. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the Parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the Parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY YOU AGAINST US OR OUR ASSIGNEE OR BY US OR OUR ASSIGNEE AGAINST YOU. IN THE EVENT THAT THE FOREGOING JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT ENFORCEABLE, ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL, AT THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (“REFERENCE”). THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT. THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE LAWFUL SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY UNLESS THE REFEREE ORDERS OTHERWISE. THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLAIMS WILL NOT BE ADJUDICATED BY A JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT INVOLVE PERSONS OTHER THAN YOU AND US; CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR ARE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US; AND ANY CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, BREACH OF CONTRACT, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, OR ANY EQUITABLE OR LEGAL RELIEF OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE EXCLUDED AGREEMENTS.
15
Professional Fees. You promise to pay or reimburse on demand, any and all reasonable professional fees and expenses incurred by Us whether before or after the execution of this Agreement in connection with or related to: the Loan Documents, the Excluded Agreements, or the Secured Obligations; the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Secured Obligations; amendment or modification of the Loan Documents and the Excluded Agreements; any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents or Excluded Agreements; the protection, preservation, sale, lease, liquidation, inspection, audit, disposition of or other action related to the Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; or any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to You or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to You, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, or the Excluded Agreements, including representing Us in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Your estate, and any appeal or review thereof. Our professional fees and expenses shall include the reasonable fees or expenses for Our attorneys, accountants, auditors, auctioneers, liquidators, appraisers, investment advisors, environmental and management consultants, or experts engaged by Us in connection with the foregoing. Your promise to pay all of Our reasonable professional fees and expenses is part of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, You shall not be liable for any professional fees or expenses incurred by Us to the extent (i) arising from any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) arising in connection of Our assignment, sale or participation of all or any portion of Our rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any Excluded Agreement. With regard to professional fees and expenses incurred by Us prior to the Closing Date, You shall not be obligated to reimburse any amounts in excess of $7,500.
Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against You for liquidation or reorganization, if You become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Your assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Us. The Loan Documents, the Secured Obligations and Our Lien on the Collateral shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Us, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Us or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Us in cash.
Notices. Any notice, request or other communication to either of the Parties by the other will be given in writing and deemed received upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or (2) 3 days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to Us or You, at the address set out on Page 1 of this Agreement, (3) 1 day after it is sent by courier or overnight delivery
Applicable Law. This Agreement and any Promissory Note will have been made, executed and delivered in the State of California and will be governed and construed for all purposes in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument.
Signatures. This Agreement and any Promissory Note may be executed and delivered by facsimile or transmitted electronically in either Tagged Image Format Files (“TIFF”) or Portable Document Format (“PDF”) and, upon such delivery, the facsimile, TIFF or PDF signature, as applicable, will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other party.
Confidentiality. All financial information (other than any such information contained in periodic reports filed by You with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by You to Us that is marked “Confidential” or should reasonably be known to Us to be confidential shall be considered confidential for purposes of this Agreement. In handling any confidential information, We will exercise the same degree of care that We exercise for Our own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made (i) to Our subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with their business with You, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans (provided, however, We shall use best efforts in
16
obtaining such prospective transferee’s agreement of the terms of this provision and any purchaser shall be agreeing to assume the obligations hereunder and therefore agreeing to abide by the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section), (iii) as We deem necessary or appropriate to any bank, financial institution or other similar entity, provided, however, that such bank, financial institution or other similar entity agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information, (iv) to S&P, Xxxxx’x, Fitch and/or other ratings agency, as We deem necessary or appropriate, provided, however, that such financial institution or ratings agency shall be informed of the confidentiality of such, (v) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (vi) as required in connection with Our examination or audit and (vii) as We consider appropriate exercising remedies under this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
