2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Availability. Bank shall make Advances not exceeding (i) the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, whichever is less, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), minus (iii) the FX Reserve, and minus (iv) the aggregate outstanding Advances hereunder (including any Cash Management Services).

(c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable charges) in United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer to the country of which it is the currency.
(d) Upon the issuance of any letter of credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Committed Revolving Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such letter of credit.

Borrower warrants and represents that the security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral.
Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement with respect to which the Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Without prior consent from Bank, Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement that is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition.

Borrower agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank under the Code, provided, however, Borrower may dispose of certain Collateral in accordance with Section 7.1. If the Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. If Borrower shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim that may result in proceeds to Borrower, Borrower shall (unless prohibited by law) promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies. When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors; (iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a
10
third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Accounts Collection. In the event that an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the amount of the Account. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Bank, and, if requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as the Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of collateral, the Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
10. NOTICES

13
required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; and (v) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Intellectual Property Security Agreement (this “IP Agreement”) is made as of the June 13, 2002 by and between ART TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 02141(“Grantor”), and SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California banking corporation (“Lender”).
RECITALS
A. Lender has agreed to make advances of money and to extend certain financial accommodations to Grantor (the “Loan”), pursuant to a certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between Grantor and Lender, as amended from time to time (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan is secured pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. Lender is willing to enter into certain financial accommodations with Borrower, but only upon the condition, among others, that Grantor shall grant to Lender a security interest in certain Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, and Mask Works to secure the obligations of Grantor under the Loan Agreement. Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Grantor has granted to Lender a security interest in all of Grantor’s right title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired in, to and under all of the Collateral (as defined therein).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of Grantor’s Indebtedness (as defined below), Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
14. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of all of Grantor’s present or future indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to Lender (hereinafter, the “Indebtedness”), including, without limitation, under the Loan Agreement, Grantor hereby grants a security interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under its intellectual property collateral (all of which shall collectively be called the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), including, without limitation, the following:
(a) Any and all copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like protections in each work or authorship and derivative work thereof, whether published or unpublished and whether or not the same also constitutes a trade secret, now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held, including without limitation those set forth on EXHIBIT A attached hereto (collectively, the “Copyrights”);
(b) Any and all trade secrets, and any and all intellectual property rights in computer software and computer software products now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held;
(c) Any and all design rights which may be available to Grantor now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held;
(d) All patents, patent applications and like protections including, without limitation, improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions and continuations-in-part of the same, including without limitation the patents and patent applications set forth on EXHIBIT B attached hereto (collectively, the “Patents”);
(e) Any trademark and servicemark rights, whether registered or not, applications to register and registrations of the same and like protections, and the entire goodwill of the business of Grantor connected with and symbolized by such trademarks, including without limitation those set forth on EXHIBIT C attached hereto (collectively, the “Trademarks”);
(f) All mask works or similar rights available for the protection of semiconductor chips, now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation those set forth on EXHIBIT D attached hereto (collectively, the “Mask Works”);
(g) Any and all claims for damages by way of past, present and future infringements of any of the rights included above, with the right, but not the obligation, to xxx for and collect such damages for said use or infringement of the intellectual property rights identified above;
(h) All licenses or other rights to use any of the Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works and all license fees and royalties arising from such use to the extent permitted by such license or rights, including, without limitation those set forth on EXHIBIT E attached hereto; and
(i) All amendments, extensions, renewals and extensions of any of the Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, or Mask Works; and
(j) All proceeds and products of the foregoing, including without limitation all payments under insurance or any indemnity or warranty payable in respect of any of the foregoing.
2. Authorization and Request. Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks record this IP Agreement.
3. Covenants and Warranties. Grantor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Grantor is now the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor to its customers in the ordinary course of business.
(b) Performance of this IP Agreement does not conflict with or result in a breach of any IP Agreement to which Grantor is bound, except to the extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the licensor’s or other party’s consent and this IP Agreement constitutes a security interest.
(c) During the term of this IP Agreement, Grantor will not transfer or otherwise encumber any interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor in the ordinary course of business or as set forth in this IP Agreement;
(d) To its knowledge, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party;
(e) Grantor shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of the Grantor in or to any Trademark, Patent, Copyright, or Mask Work specified in this IP Agreement;
(f) Grantor shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works, (ii) use its best efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works and promptly advise Lender in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow any Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Mask Works to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Grantor determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate.
2
(g) Grantor shall promptly register the most recent version of any of Grantor’s Copyrights, if not so already registered, and shall, from time to time, execute and file such other instruments, and take such further actions as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral;
(h) This IP Agreement creates, and in the case of after acquired Intellectual Property Collateral, this IP Agreement will create at the time Grantor first has rights in such after acquired Intellectual Property Collateral, in favor of Lender a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral in the United States securing the payment and performance of the obligations evidenced by the Loan Agreement upon making the filings referred to in clause (i) below;
(i) To its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filing with the United States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and Trademarks and the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights and Mask Works necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder and except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any U.S. governmental authority or U.S. regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by Grantor of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this IP Agreement by Grantor in the U.S. or (ii) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies thereunder;
(j) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects.
(k) Grantor shall not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Grantor’s obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantor shall not permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or might in any way prevent the creation of a security interest in Grantor’s rights and interest in any property included within the definition of the Intellectual property Collateral acquired under such contracts, except that certain contracts may contain anti-assignment provisions that could in effect prohibit the creation of a security interest in such contracts.
(l) Upon any executive officer of Grantor obtaining actual knowledge thereof, Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing of any event that materially adversely affects the value of any material Intellectual Property Collateral, the ability of Grantor to dispose of any material Intellectual Property Collateral of the rights and remedies of Lender in relation thereto, including the levy of any legal process against any of the Intellectual Property Collateral.
4. Lender’s Rights. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Grantor’s sole expense, any actions that Grantor is required under this IP Agreement to take but which Grantor fails to take, after fifteen (15) days’ notice to Grantor. Grantor shall reimburse and indemnify Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this section 4.
5. Inspection Rights. Grantor hereby grants to Lender and its employees, representatives and agents the right to visit, during reasonable hours upon prior reasonable written notice to Grantor, any of Grantor’s plants and facilities that manufacture, install or store products (or that have done so during the prior six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality control records relating thereto upon reasonable written notice to Grantor and as often as may be reasonably requested, but not more than once in every six (6) months; provided, however, nothing herein shall entitle Lender access to Grantor’s trade secrets and other proprietary information.
3
6. Further Assurances; Attorney in Fact.
(a) On a continuing basis, Grantor will, subject to any prior licenses, encumbrances and restrictions and prospective licenses, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including appropriate financing and continuation statements and collateral agreements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office and the Register of Copyrights, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as requested by Lender, to perfect Lender’s security interest in all Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, and Mask Works and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this IP Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Lender the grant or perfection of a security interest in all Intellectual Property Collateral.
(b) Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, Lender or otherwise, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, upon Grantor’s failure or inability to do so, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this IP Agreement, including:
(i) To modify, in its sole discretion, this IP Agreement without first obtaining Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, and Exhibit D hereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or Mask Works acquired by Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works in which Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest; and
(ii) To file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral without the signature of Grantor where permitted by law.
7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this IP Agreement:
(a) An Event of Default occurs under the Loan Agreement; or any document from Grantor to Lender; or
(b) Grantor breaches any warranty or agreement made by Grantor in this IP Agreement.
8. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise all the remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to require Grantor to assemble the Intellectual Property Collateral and any tangible property in which Lender has a security interest and to make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender. Lender shall have a nonexclusive, royalty free license to use the Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, and Mask Works to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Lender to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Grantor will pay any expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the exercise of any of Lender’s rights hereunder, including without limitation any expense incurred in disposing of the Intellectual Property Collateral. All of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall be cumulative.
9. Indemnity. Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this IP Agreement, and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Lender and Grantor, whether under this IP Agreement or otherwise (including without
4
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10. Reassignment. At such time as Grantor shall completely satisfy all of the obligations secured hereunder, Lender shall execute and deliver to Grantor all deeds, assignments, and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to reinvest in Grantor full title to the property assigned hereunder, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Lender pursuant hereto.
11. Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
12. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action relating to this IP Agreement is brought by either party hereto against the other party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements.
13. Amendments. This IP Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto.
14. Counterparts. This IP Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.
15. Law and Jurisdiction. This IP Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. GRANTOR ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND, AGAINST IT WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF FOR ANY REASON LENDER CANNOT AVAIL ITSELF OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, GRANTOR ACCEPTS JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS AND VENUE IN SANTA XXXXX COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
GRANTOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
16. Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (i) to Lender’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans; (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Lender’s examination or audit; and (v) as Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in Lender’s possession when disclosed to Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Lender; or (b) is disclosed to Lender by a third party, if Lender does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
