Borrower and each Guarantor may be referred to herein individually and collectively as “Obligor”. The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) being signed by the parties concurrently, is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 7 below.) This Agreement amends and restates that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “Original LSA” and such date, the “Original LSA Effective Date”)entered into among the above parties dated July 17, 2013, as amended by that certain Forbearance, Waiver and Modification No. 1 to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 31, 2013 (the “Modification” and such date the “Modification Effective Date”).

1.4 Loan Requests. To make any request of PFG or give notice in connection with the Loan (including a notice of conversion or Sale under Section 1 of the Schedule) (a “Loan Request”), Borrower shall make a Qualifying Request to PFG in writing compliant with Section 8.5. Loan Requests are not deemed made until PFG acknowledges receipt of the same by electronic mail or otherwise in writing. Borrower appoints the Responsible Officer(s) as its agent to make Loan Requests and any Loan Request made by such Responsible Officer(s) shall be binding on Borrower as if made by its own respective officers who are duly authorized to bind Borrower in respect of the Loan. PFG’s obligation to consider a Loan Request shall be subject to its receipt of such reports, certificates and other information as may be set forth in the Schedule. Loan Requests received after 12:00 Noon Pacific time will not be deemed to have been received by PFG until the next Business Day. PFG may rely on any Loan Request given by a person whom PFG believes in good faith is a Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall indemnify PFG for any loss PFG suffers as a result of that reliance.
1.5 Late Fee. If any payment of accrued interest for any month is not made within three (3) Business Days after the later of the date a xxxx therefor is sent by PFG or three (3) Business Days after the date due, or if any payment of principal (other than payment of principal on the Maturity Date) or any other payment is not made within five (5) Business Days after the date due, then Borrower shall pay PFG a late payment fee equal to 5% of the amount of such late payment in the first three (3) such instances of late payment and 10% of the amount of each future late payment occurring thereafter. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as PFG’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts when due, and PFG’s acceptance of any such late payments shall not restrict PFG’s exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure.
2. SECURITY INTEREST.
2.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due hereunder and, in the case of each Guarantor, its obligations under the Guaranty, each Obligor hereby grants to PFG a continuing security interest in, and pledges to PFG, all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): all right, title and interest of each Obligor in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property); all Investment Property; all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all of Obligor’s books relating to any and all of the above, but Collateral expressly excludes Excluded Collateral (as defined in Section 7).

Each Obligor shall give PFG 30 days' prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Each Obligor has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, if applicable to an Obligor.

Each Obligor will give PFG at least 30 days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than another Obligor’s address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that each Obligor may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $50,000 fair market value of Collateral is located.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.
(a) Each Obligor is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral owned by it, except for items of Equipment which are leased to an Obligor. All such Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. PFG now has, and will continue to have, a First-Priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and each Obligor will at all times defend PFG and the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of each Obligor’s Deposit Accounts, and each Obligor will give PFG five Business Days advance written notice before establishing or permitting any Obligor to establish any new Deposit Accounts and will, subject to Section 8(b) of the Schedule, cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to PFG a Control Agreement in form sufficient to perfect PFG’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business judgment.
(c) In the event that an Obligor shall at any time after the Effective Date have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, such Obligor shall promptly notify PFG thereof in writing and provide PFG with such information regarding the same as PFG shall request (unless providing such information would waive such Obligor’s attorney-client privilege). Such notification to PFG shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to PFG, and such Obligor shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as PFG shall request in connection therewith in order to perfect its security interest.
(d) No material part of any Obligor’s Collateral now is affixed to any real property in such a manner or with such intent as to become a fixture except as set forth in Exhibit A. From and after the Effective Date, without PFG’s consent in each instance, no material part of such Collateral will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Each Obligor is not and will not, without PFG’s consent, become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral (other than by operation of law) and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair an Obligor's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, each Obligor shall, whenever requested by PFG, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to PFG, in form acceptable to PFG, such waivers and subordinations as PFG shall specify in its good faith business judgment. Each Obligor will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

Each Obligor will maintain its respective Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Each Obligor will immediately advise PFG in writing of any material loss or damage to Collateral.

Except as set forth in Exhibit A, each SEC Document complied, and each SEC Document filed or furnished to the SEC subsequent to the Effective Date will comply, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and did not or will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Borrower has and at all times will comply in all material respects with its obligations under FINRA and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Borrower has restated its Financial Statements as specified in its transition reports on Form 10-K for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 1, 2013 (the “Restatement”).

Since the date of the Restatement, there has been no Material Adverse Change. To the extent that Borrower ceases for any reason to file current reports with the SEC, all financial statements then and thereafter delivered to PFG will be prepared in conformity with GAAP.
3.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Each Obligor has timely filed, and will timely file, all material required Tax Returns and reports, and each Obligor has timely paid, and will timely pay, all material Taxes now or in the future owed by Borrower.

Each Obligor will promptly inform PFG in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Obligors (in the aggregate) involving any single claim of $100,000 or more, or involving $250,000 or more in the aggregate.

No Obligor has received any written notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any intellectual property of any Obligor, or of any outstanding decree, order or judgment that has rendered any intellectual property owned by any Obligor invalid or unenforceable.

Each Obligor shall further provide PFG with all information and details relating to the foregoing and take such further actions as PFG may reasonably request from time to time to enable PFG to perfect or continue the perfection of PFG's interest in all such Obligor’s Collateral.

3.16 Capitalization; Debt and Conversion Stock
(a) Shareholder Approval. The Borrower shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Borrower’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Borrower to reserve the Conversion Stock (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of hereof, but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date hereof, the Borrower shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval to increase the amount of authorized shares of Common Stock to 500 million shares (“Shareholder Approval”), provided that the Borrower may obtain Shareholder Approval via written consent and the filing of an information statement pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act. In connection with such meeting, the Borrower shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. If the Borrower does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Borrower shall call a meeting every four months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Note is no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, until Shareholder Approval is obtained and deemed effective, PFG shall be only entitled to convert its Note and/or exercise its Warrant up to an aggregate amount equal to 13,000,000 shares (“Issuable Maximum”). PFG may allocate its pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum among Notes and Warrants held by it in its sole discretion.
(b) After Borrower obtains Shareholder Approval, the shares of Borrower’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant (collectively,the “Conversion Stock”) will be duly and validly reserved for issuance. Subject to Borrower obtaining Shareholder Approval, the Conversion Stock, when issued upon conversion of the Note, will be validly authorized, issued and fully paid. Other than Shareholder Approval, the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Stock is not subject to preemptive or any similar rights of the stockholders of Borrower or any other Person (which have not been duly waived) or any liens or encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws and restrictions created by PFG. The Conversion Stock will be issued without any legends other than the Securities Act legend in the form set forth in the Note and the Warrant, until such time as it is removed pursuant to the provisions hereof.

4.2. Remittance of Proceeds. Subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens with priority over PFG’s Liens, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Obligor’s Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by such Obligor to PFG in the original form in which received by such Obligor not later than the following Business Day after receipt by such Obligor, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as PFG shall determine; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Obligor shall be obligated to remit to PFG (i) the proceeds of Accounts or the sale Inventory arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by an Obligor in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 or less (in the aggregate for all Obligors transactions in any fiscal year). No Obligor shall commingle proceeds of Collateral (other than those described in subclauses (i) and (ii) above) with any of such Obligor’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for PFG, except as set forth above, and subject to the rights of holders of Permitted Liens with priority over PFG’s Liens. PFG may, in its good faith business judgment, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by such Obligor into a Lock-Box account, or such other "blocked account" as PFG may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as PFG may specify in its good faith business judgment, however, such account will be subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens with priority over PFG’s Liens. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
4.3 Insurance. Each Obligor shall at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to PFG, in such form and amounts as PFG may reasonably require and as are customary and in accordance with standard practices for such Obligor’s industry and locations, and each Obligor shall provide evidence of such insurance to PFG. All such insurance policies shall name PFG as an additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to PFG. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, subject to the rights of holders of Permitted Liens with priority over PFG’s Liens, PFG shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as PFG shall determine in its good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, PFG shall release to an Obligor insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than $100,000, which shall be utilized by such Obligor for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Proceeds of business interruption insurance, if any, may be used to pay general operating expenses. PFG may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If an Obligor fails to provide or pay for any insurance, PFG may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at such Obligor’s expense. Each Obligor shall promptly deliver to PFG copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.
4.4 Reports. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide PFG with the written reports set forth in the Schedule in respect of Borrower and each other Obligor (as applicable), and such other written reports with respect to Borrower and each other Obligor (including budgets, projections, operating plans and other financial documentation), as PFG shall from time to time specify in its good faith business judgment.

4.8 Changes. Each Obligor agrees to promptly notify PFG in writing of any changes in the information set forth in the Representations whether applicable to it or to any other Obligor.
4.9 Further Assurances. Each Obligor agrees, at its expense, on reasonable request by PFG, to execute all documents and take all actions, and to procure that each other Obligor controlled by such Obligor execute all documents and take all actions as PFG may in its good faith business judgment deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain PFG's perfected First-Priority security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, PFG shall have the right, in its discretion, to require any new Subsidiaries of Obligors from time to time to be joined as additional Obligors under this Agreement and the equity interests of such new Obligors to be included with the Pledge Agreements executed in favor of PFG; provided, however, that Permitted Acquisitions of Borrower, unless financed directly or indirectly from the HCA Group, shall not be subject to such requirement.
4.10 Qualifications of Conversion Stock. Borrower shall use its best efforts in cooperation with PFG to qualify the Conversion Stock for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as PFG may designate and will maintain such qualification in effect as long as required for the distribution of the Conversion Stock; provided that Borrower shall not be required to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified.

The Observer shall be entitled to receive all written materials and other information (including, without limitation, copies of meeting minutes and agenda) given to the Board of Directors of each Obligor in connection with such meetings at the same time such materials and information are given to the Board of Directors of such Obligor. PFG for itself and on behalf of the Observer agrees that the confidentiality provisions of each Obligor’s Constitutional Documents shall apply to all meetings of its Board of Directors and to all confidential materials and information received by the Observer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, in the reasonable judgment of each Obligor, the attendance of the Observer at a meeting or any portion thereof of the Board of Directors of such Obligor and/or the receipt of any materials or information would create a conflict of interest for the PFG in its capacity as lender under this Agreement, the Observer shall, as the case may be, abstain from participating in any such meeting or portion thereof or not be entitled to receipt of such materials and other information.
4.13 Omnibus Covenant of Borrower; Exclusion of Certain Section 4 Requirements. As the sole stockholder of HCA and otherwise in control of the HCA Group, Borrower shall, to the extent it is within its lawful power to effect, cause HCA and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries from time to time to comply with their respective Obligations. PFG acknowledges that Borrower’s business, in addition to ownership of the HCA Group, is to seek out opportunities to invest in and acquire businesses in similar manner as it did in acquiring the HCA Group (“New Vehicles”). In consideration of Borrower’s afore-stated covenant to procure the compliance by the HCA Group with its respective Obligations under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.6 and Section 6.1, so long as Borrower’s actions or failure to act do not directly or indirectly cause a Default or Event of Default by the HCA Group (or any constituent Person thereof), the following provisions shall not apply to Borrower in respect of itself or any New Vehicle: (A) Section 4.6(ii); (B) Section 4.6(iii); (C) Section 4.6(iv), so long as the Transfer of Collateral does not consist of Borrower’s ownership interest in the HCA Group or any of its assets; (D) Sections 4.6(v) and (vi); (E) so long as unrelated to the HCA Group or its business, Sections 4.6(vii), (viii) and (ix); (F) Section (xii); (G) unless related to the HCA Group, Section (xiii); (H) except to the extent related to the HCA Group, Section (xvii); (I) except as in relation to the HCA Group, Section (xviii); and (J) except in relation to the HCA Group or Borrower’s interest therein, Sections 6.1(f) and 6.1(g).

Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by PFG with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall PFG's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of PFG's other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that PFG is in control of the business, management or properties of an Obligor.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens with priority over PFG’s Liens, be applied by PFG first to the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by PFG in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as PFG shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to an Obligor or other persons legally entitled thereto; such Obligor shall remain liable to PFG for any deficiency. If, PFG, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, PFG shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its good faith business judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by PFG of the cash therefor.
6.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, PFG shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between PFG and any Obligor, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by PFG of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar PFG from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of PFG to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either personally, or by reputable private delivery service, or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested, or by fax to the most recent fax number a party has for the other party (and if by fax, sent concurrently by one of the other methods provided herein), or by electronic mail to the most recent electronic mail address for Borrower provided for its chief financial officer, financial controller or other officer executing the Representations (and if by electronic mail, with an electronic delivery and/or read receipt), addressed to PFG or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this Agreement, in the Representations or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the other party. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one Business Day following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business Days following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, or on the first business day of receipt during business hours in the case of notices sent by fax or electronic mail, as provided herein. Each Obligor irrevocably authorizes PFG to: (i) use its logo on PFG’s website and in its marketing materials to denote the lending relationship between PFG and such Obligor; (ii) use a “tombstone” to highlight the transaction(s) from time to time between PFG and such Obligor; and (iii) to issue press releases in a form reasonable acceptable to such Obligor and PFG highlighting and summarizing the credit facilities extended by PFG to such Obligor from time to time under this Agreement, as amended from time to time, all of the above (i) through (iii), for marketing purposes.
8.6 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
8.7 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between the Obligors and PFG and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith.

8.8 Waivers; Indemnity. The failure of PFG at any time or times to require each Obligor to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive or diminish any right of PFG later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of PFG or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of PFG and delivered to Borrower. Each Obligor waives the benefit of all statutes of limitations relating to any of the Obligations or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and each Obligor waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by PFG on which an Obligor is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by PFG, unless expressly required by this Agreement. Each Obligor hereby agrees to indemnify PFG and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), of every kind, which they may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Obligations, or any relationship or agreement between PFG and any Obligor, or any other matter, relating to any Obligor or the Obligations; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to damages proximately caused by the indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.
8.9 No Liability for Ordinary Negligence. Neither PFG, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by any Obligor or any other party through the ordinary negligence of PFG, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG, but nothing herein shall relieve PFG from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8.10 Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower, each Obligor and a duly authorized officer of PFG.
8.11 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by each Obligor of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
8.12 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Borrower shall reimburse PFG for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by PFG, pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs PFG incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present and future documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or any Obligor; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of any Obligor's books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce PFG’s security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent PFG in any litigation relating to an Obligor. If either PFG or any Obligor files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys' fees and costs to which PFG may be entitled pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrower's Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
8.13 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and PFG; provided, however, that no Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of PFG, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. No consent by PFG to any assignment shall release Borrower or any other Obligor from its respective liability for the Obligations.
8.14 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower at any time consists of more than one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

| Partners for Growth | Loan and Security Agreement |
8.15 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by any Obligor against PFG, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, incurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by PFG, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by such Obligor by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by (a) the filing of a complaint within one year after the earlier to occur of (i) the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated, and (b) the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of PFG, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of PFG, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Each Obligor agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for such Obligor to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of PFG in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
8.16 Loan Monitoring. At reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower, PFG shall have the right to visit personally with Borrower up to two times per calendar year at its principal place of business or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, for the purpose of meeting with Borrower’s management in order to remain as up-to-date with Borrower’s business as is practicable and to maintain best practices in terms of lender loan monitoring and diligence. Reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including travel and lodging for up to two PFG staff for one of the two visits shall be at Borrower’s expense and reimbursed in the same manner as other PFG expenses under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such visits are separate and distinct from audits and inspections contemplated in Section 4.5 hereof.
8.17 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. Each Obligor and PFG acknowledges that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against PFG or any Obligor under any rule of construction or otherwise. Amounts set off in brackets or parentheses are negative. The word “shall” is mandatory, the word “may” is permissive, and the word “or” is not exclusive. The term “Agreement” includes the Schedule.
9.18 Correction of Loan Documents. PFG may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as PFG provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by PFG and all Obligors.
8.19 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of PFG and Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. As a material part of the consideration to PFG to enter into this Agreement, each Obligor (i) agrees that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall, at PFG's option, be litigated in courts located within California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be San Francisco County; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights an Obligor may have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such action or proceeding.
8.20 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OBLIGOR and PFG hereby waive the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement or any other present or future instrument or agreement between PFG and ANY OBLIGOR, or any conduct, acts or omissions of PFG or Borrower or any of their directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other persons affiliated with PFG or ANY OBLIGOR, in all of the foregoing cases, whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the San Francisco County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

8.21 Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Each Guarantor under that certain Cross-Corporate Continuing Guaranty and Security Agreement dated the date of the Original LSA (the “Guaranty”) hereby covenants and agrees with PFG that: (i) all Obligations now or hereafter under the Original LSA as to which Guarantor has obligations under the Guaranty shall include Obligations under the Original LSA, as amended by this Agreement; (ii) all Obligations now or hereafter under the Original LSA as to which Guarantor has obligations as an Obligor shall include Obligations under the Original LSA, as amended by this Agreement; and (iii) there are no offsets, claims or defenses of any kind to the Obligations under the Original LSA (as Obligor) or under the Guaranty held by any Guarantor, and that the Guaranty is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
8.22 General Release. Borrower and each other Obligor (each, a “Releasor”) hereby forever relieves, releases, and discharges PFG and each of its present or former employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys (the “Indemnitees”), from any and all possible claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses, actions and causes of action, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to facts, circumstances, issues, controversies or claims existing or arising from the beginning of time through and including the date of execution of this Agreement, which any Releasor or any of their respective partners, members, officers, agents or employees may now or hereafter have against the Indemnitees, if any, and irrespective of whether any of the foregoing arise out of contract, tort, violation of laws or regulations or otherwise, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any duty of fair dealing, breach of confidence, breach of funding commitment, undue influence, duress, economic coercion, violation of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or regulations, conflict of interest, negligence, bad faith, malpractice, violations of the racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, intentional or negligent infliction of mental distress, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortuous interference with corporate governance or prospective business advantage, deceptive trade practices, libel, slander, conspiracy or any claim relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated therein (collectively “Released Claims”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Claims shall include any and all liabilities or claims arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Documents, the Recitals hereto, any instruments, agreements or documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing or the origination, negotiation, administration, servicing and/or enforcement of any of the foregoing. In furtherance of this release, each Releasor expressly acknowledges and waives any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” By entering into this release, each Releasor recognizes that no facts or representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to be true, but that it is the intention of each Releasor hereby to fully, finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected; accordingly, if any Releasor should subsequently discover that any fact that it relied upon in entering into this release was untrue, or that any understanding of the facts was incorrect, no Releasor shall be entitled to set aside this release by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of mistake of fact or law or any other circumstances. Each Releasor acknowledges that it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or statement made by PFG with respect to the facts underlying this release or with regard to any of such party’s rights or asserted rights. This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and/or as a cross-complaint or counterclaim against any action, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of this release. Each Releasor acknowledges that the release contained herein constitutes a material inducement to PFG to enter into this Agreement, and that PFG would not have done so but for PFG’s expectation that such release is valid and enforceable in all events. Each Releasor hereby represents and warrants to PFG, and PFG is relying thereon, as follows: (i) except as expressly stated in this Agreement, neither PFG nor any agent, employee or representative of PFG has made any statement or representation to any Releasor regarding any fact relied upon by any Releasor in entering into this Agreement; (ii) each Releasor has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Agreement and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary; (iii) the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not a mere recital; (iv) this Agreement has been carefully read by each Releasor, the contents hereof are known and understood by each Releasor, and this Agreement is signed freely, and without duress, by each Releasor; (v) each Releasor represents and warrants that it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to every claim and every other matter which it releases herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, firm or entity any claims or other matters herein released. Obligor shall indemnify PFG, defend and hold it harmless from and against all claims based upon or arising in connection with prior assignments or purported assignments or transfers of any claims or matters released herein.

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH III, L.P., the above-named Borrower and above-named Guarantors of even date (the “Agreement”).
1. LOAN (Section 1.1):
| (a) The Loan: | The Loan is as described in Section 1.1 of the Agreement and has been fully disbursed to Borrower. |
| (b) Repayment: | The principal amount of the Loan and all other accrued and unpaid monetary Obligations shall be repaid on the Maturity Date, unless the Loan is converted in full in accordance with this Section 1. |
| (c) Optional Conversion: | Subject to Borrower obtaining Shareholder Approval as specified in Section 3.16 of the Agreement and at all times to Section 1(d) of this Schedule, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, PFG may at its option convert the Note (or any part thereof) at any time up to and including the Maturity Date into the common stock of Borrower (an “Optional Conversion”) at Fifteen Cents ($0.15) per share (the “Optional Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Number of Shares and Exchange Price are adjusted under Section 4 of the Conditionally-Exercisable PFG Warrant (as defined in Section 9(l) of this Schedule). PFG may exercise its right to convert the Loan or part thereof by sending notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail specifying the amount to be converted into Conversion Stock (a “Conversion Notice”). The date on which a Conversion Notice is sent to Borrower shall be a Conversion Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Notice, Borrower shall issue a certificate for the Conversion Stock, subject to Section 3.16(a) of the Loan Agreement, within three (3) Business Day of the delivery of the Conversion Notice. |

| Partners for Growth | Schedule to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement | |
| (d) Conversion Limitations. | ||
| (i) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1(d): (A) “PFG Parties” means, collectively, PFG, PFG Equity Investors, LLC (“PFGEI”), Silicon Valley Bank, SVB Financial Group (Silicon Valley Bank and SVB Financial Group, collectively, “SVB”) and their respective Affiliates, and any other Persons who hold equity securities of Borrower that are or may be deemed to be beneficially owned by PFG, PFGEI or SVB, including any group of which PFG, PFGEI or SVB is a member, (B) “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (C) “Convertible Security” means the Note, the Warrants and any other convertible or derivative security that may be exercised for or converted into the Common Stock of Borrower; and (D) “Conversion Notice” means the notice of Holder Conversion under the Note, the Election to Exchange under any Warrant, and any other election to exercise or convert a Convertible Security into the Common Stock or other equity securities of Borrower, and “Conversion” (and derivatives) means a conversion of the Note and an exercise or exchange of any warrant. | ||
| (ii) Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, the Note, the Warrants, or any other agreement, security or instrument between Borrower and a PFG Party, Borrower shall not effect any Conversion of the Note or any Warrant or any other Convertible Security held or beneficially owned by the PFG Parties, and no PFG Party shall have the right to Convert the Note, any Warrant or any other Convertible Security in whole or in part to the extent that, after giving effect to such attempted Conversion, as set forth in the relevant Conversion Notice, the PFG Parties would collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the PFG Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of the Note and Warrants subject to a Conversion Notice with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon Conversion of the remaining, non-converted Convertible Securities held or beneficially owned by the PFG Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of that portion of the Convertible Securities proposed to be Converted pursuant to a Conversion Notice (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 1(d)). |
| -2- |
| Partners for Growth | Schedule to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement | |
| (iii) Capitalization Table. Upon delivery of a Conversion Notice issued in compliance with this Section, Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days deliver to a requesting PFG Party a true, complete, accurate and correct capitalization table in detail sufficient for a reasonable Person to calculate the percentage of stock such Person may beneficially own in Borrower (the “Capitalization Statement”). In determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, the PFG Parties may conclusively rely on the Capitalization Statement. | ||
| (iv) Decrease of Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The PFG Parties, jointly but not separately, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, may decrease (only) the percentage Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(d). Any such decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Borrower. | ||
| (v) Successors and Assigns. The limitations set forth in this Section 1(d): (A) shall not apply to a successor holder of the Note, the Warrants or other Convertible Securities that is not an Affiliate of a PFG Party, but (B) shall remain in effect so long as a PFG Entity beneficially owns any equity securities of Borrower, regardless of the repayment of the Loan, in full or in part, upon maturity, redemption, an event of default or otherwise. | ||
| (vi) Omnibus Effect. The foregoing provisions shall supersede anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, security or instrument between Borrower and a PFG Party. |
| -3- |
| Partners for Growth | Schedule to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement | |
| (e) Failure of Conversion: | Reference is made to that certain 10% Secured Convertible Debenture issued by Borrower to certain holders on or about the date hereof (the “Debenture”). As PFG and such Debenture holders are similarly situated in respect of conversion into shares of Borrower Common Stock, the terms of Sections 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v) and Section 4(e) are incorporated by reference herein as nearly as the context may permit, as if applicable to the Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion hereunder and the Warrant Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Warrants. | |
| (f) Prepayment: | Borrower may at any time prepay the Loan in whole or in part, without penalty or fee; provided, however, that the Conditionally-Exercisable Warrants held by PFG and its designees (as referenced in Section 9(z) of this Schedule) shall, subject to Section 1(d) of this Schedule, become immediately exercisable by the holders thereof to the extent of Loan principal prepaid. | |
| (ii) If there is a Sale (as defined below) after eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date and if PFG does not elect to convert the Loan under Section 1(c) of this Schedule, then Borrower shall, unless PFG consents in its sole discretion to the acquirer assuming the Obligations under the Loan Agreement, repay in cash all monetary Obligations then outstanding (other than inchoate obligations) or, if the consideration received in connection with the Sale is in the form of stock, so long as the requirements of Section 1(d) are met in relation to such Sale (clauses (vi) and (viii) in relation to Borrower and clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vii) in relation to the Sale and the stock to be received by PFG in connection with the Sale), in stock. | ||
| (iii) Definition of Sale. The term “Sale” as used in this Section 1 means (i) any event, transaction, or occurrence as a result of which (a) any “person” (as such term is defined in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as an amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Borrower, is or becomes a beneficial owner (within the meaning Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of any Principal Group Member, representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of such Principal Group Member’s then outstanding securities, or (ii) any other transaction in which fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets or value of the Group (as defined in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement) taken as a whole is sold; provided, however, in relation to Borrower (only, as distinct from the HCA Group), a “Sale” implies a transaction or event initiated by or engaged in by Borrower (as opposed to its stockholders), in which consideration is exchanged, rather than a mere crossing of the percentage threshold set forth in clause (i), above, resulting from the purchase and sale of stock on a stock market and resulting in a person (acting alone or as part of a group) accumulating sufficient Borrower voting stock in the market and/or from third parties unaffiliated with Borrower sufficient to equal or exceed such threshold. Thirty (30) days prior to effecting any Sale, Borrower shall give written notice to PFG thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the definitive agreement (and exhibits) relating thereto with a statement as to the estimated consideration receivable to PFG upon conversion of the Note prior thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, PFG may exercise its right to convert under Section 1(c) during the thirty-day notice period specified above. |
| -4- |
| Partners for Growth | Schedule to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement | |
| (iv) Optional Prepayment. Borrower may, at any time after two (2) years from the Effective Date, prepay the Loan in whole only, provided, however, that automatically upon such prepayment the Conditionally-Exercisable Warrants (see Section 9(z)) shall become immediately exercisable by the holders thereof. | ||
| 2. Interest. | ||
| Interest Rate (Section 1.2): | ||
| The Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 10%, unless the interest rate is the Default Rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed each month. | ||
| Cash Interest: | Accrued interest for each month shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month, unless Borrower notifies PFG not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the end of any month of its election to pay PIK Interest in lieu of paying interest in cash. | |
| PIK Interest: | In lieu of Cash Interest, in whole or in part, if Borrower elects to pay PIK Interest at any time, Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to PFG such PIK Interest at the interest rate specified above on the unpaid outstanding principal amount from time to time of the Loan, together with the portion of outstanding additional principal attributable to the accrual of PIK Interest. | |
| 3. Fees (Section 1.3): | ||
| Loan Fee: | No Loan Fee charged in consideration of the amendment and restatement of the Original LSA. |

The following SEC documents were filed untimely:
| · | Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 21, 2013, filed on December 3, 2013. |
| · | Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 26, 2013, filed on October 8, 2013. |
| · | Transition Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2013, filed on March 13, 2014. |
| · | Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, filed on March 21, 2014. |
| · | Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 3, 2014, filed on January 13, 2014. |
The Transition Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2013 did not comply with all requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act in that it did not contain audited financial statements for the Borrower for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a result of Borrower’s review of its financial statements in connection with the preparation of the indicated transition report, the Borrower concluded that it would be unable to complete its 2011 financial statements, due to lack of sufficient source documents and other information, and, as a result of the analysis, management excluded the 2011 income statement from the transition report.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

(“Holder”) the principal sum of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) (consisting of a Loan in the amount of $5,000,000 made on the Issue Date and a Loan made on the Restatement Date in the amount of $500,000, the “Principal Amount”) on July 17, 2018 or, if earlier, immediately upon Holder demand after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement that is continuing (the “Maturity Date”) as provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. The terms of the Note issued on the Original Issue Date and the Note issued on the Restatement Date are merged into this Second Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note. The terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended and restated as of the Second Restatement Date shall govern this Note and are incorporated by reference herein.
1. Payments.

Any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note will be due and payable on the day that all principal is due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, by acceleration, at the time of a Conversion Event, a Repayment Event (as defined in Section 14 hereof) or otherwise. Maker may elect to settle its obligation to pay interest on a monthly basis by paying PIK Interest (interest deemed paid by being added to outstanding principal), all in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
(b) Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States in immediately available funds, and shall be credited first to accrued interest then due and payable with the remainder applied to principal. This Note may be repaid prior to the Maturity Date in whole only as permitted in Section 1(f) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement.
2. Ranking. This Note and all principal, interest and other amounts, if any, payable hereunder shall rank senior in right of payment to all other Maker Indebtedness, except as otherwise specified in the Loan Agreement.
3. Conversion.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 3.16(a) of the Loan Agreement, this Note may be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing the Principal Amount (excluding interest) of this Note by $0.15 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment below, at any time upon the election of the Holder hereof as described in and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1(c) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement (the “Holder Conversion”) and upon the election of Maker as described in and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1(e) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement (the “Holder Conversion”), all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement (each a “Conversion Event”).
(b) As soon as practicable after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, and in any event within the time periods specified in Section 1(c) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement, Maker at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which Holder shall be entitled on such conversion. No fractional Conversion Stock shall be issued on conversion of this Note. If on conversion of this Note a fraction of a share of Conversion Stock results, Maker will pay the cash value of that fractional share based on the Conversion Price then in effect.
(c) From and after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, Maker shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of this Note and all other Notes. Maker will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, dividend or other distribution of cash or property, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions hereof, and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of Holder as set forth herein against impairment.
(d) Conversion Limitations.
(i) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 3(d): (A) “PFG Parties” means, collectively, PFG, PFG Equity Investors, LLC (“PFGEI”), Silicon Valley Bank, SVB Financial Group (Silicon Valley Bank and SVB Financial Group, collectively, “SVB”) and their respective Affiliates, and any other Persons who hold equity securities of Maker that are or may be deemed to be beneficially owned by PFG, PFGEI or SVB, including any group of which PFG, PFGEI or SVB is a member, (B) “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (C) “Convertible Security” means this Note, the Warrants (as defined in the Loan Agreement, as amended) and any other convertible or derivative security that may be exercised for or converted into the Common Stock of Maker; and (D) “Conversion Notice” means the notice of Holder Conversion under this Note, the Election to Exchange under the Warrants, and any other election to exercise or convert a Convertible Security into the Common Stock or other equity securities of Maker, and “Conversion” (and derivatives) means a conversion of this Note and an exercise or exchange of any warrant.
(ii) Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Agreement (but without limiting the restrictions that may also apply under Sections 1(c), 1(d) and 1(e) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement), this Note, the Warrants, or any other agreement, security or instrument between Maker and a PFG Party, Maker shall not effect any Conversion of this Note or any Warrant or any other Convertible Security held or beneficially owned by the PFG Parties, and no PFG Party shall have the right to Convert this Note, any Warrant or any other Convertible Security in whole or in part to the extent that, after giving effect to such attempted Conversion, as set forth in the relevant Conversion Notice, the PFG Parties would collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock of Maker in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the PFG Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Note and Warrants subject to a Conversion Notice with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon Conversion of the remaining, non-converted Convertible Securities held or beneficially owned by the PFG Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of that portion of the Convertible Securities proposed to be Converted pursuant to a Conversion Notice (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 3(d)).
(iii) Capitalization Table. Upon delivery of a Conversion Notice issued in compliance with this Section, Maker shall within three (3) Business Days deliver to a requesting PFG Party a true, complete, accurate and correct capitalization table in detail sufficient for a reasonable Person to calculate the percentage of stock such Person may beneficially own in Maker (the “Capitalization Statement”). In determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, the PFG Parties may conclusively rely on the Capitalization Statement.
(iv) Decrease of Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The PFG Parties, jointly but not separately, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Maker, may decrease (only) the percentage Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(d). Any such decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Maker.
(v) Successors and Assigns. The limitations set forth in this Section 3(d): (A) shall not apply to a successor holder of this Note, the Warrants or other Convertible Securities that is not an Affiliate of a PFG Party, but (B) shall remain in effect so long as a PFG Entity beneficially owns any equity securities of Maker, regardless of the repayment of the Loan, in full or in part, upon maturity, redemption, an event of default or otherwise.
(vi) Omnibus Effect. The foregoing provisions shall supersede anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, this Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, security or instrument between Maker and a PFG Party.
4. Conversion Adjustments.
(a) Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 4.
(b) Subdivisions, Combinations and Stock Dividends. If Maker shall at any time subdivide by split-up or otherwise, its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or issue additional Common Stock as a dividend, bonus issue or otherwise with respect to any Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or share dividend or bonus issue shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of Maker shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
(c) Reclassification, Exchange, Substitutions, Etc. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received in exchange for the securities that would have been issued on conversion if this Note had been converted immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Maker or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a certificate setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exchange or exercise of this Note as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exchange or exercise of this Note. The certificate shall provide for adjustments (as determined in good faith by Maker’s Board of Directors) which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Conversion Price. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other similar events.
(d) Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that Maker shall:
(1) declare or propose to declare any dividend upon its Common Stock, whether payable in cash, property, stock or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend, or
(2) offer for sale any additional shares of any class or series of Maker’s stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such stock in any transaction that would give rise (regardless of waivers thereof) to pre-emptive rights of any class or series of stockholders, or
(3) effect or approve any reclassification, exchange, substitution or recapitalization of the capital stock of Maker, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding capital stock, or consolidation or merger of Maker with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up (including an assignment for the benefit of creditors), or
(4) offer holders of registration rights the opportunity to participate in any registration of Maker’s securities,
then, in connection with such event, Maker shall give to Holder:
(i) at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of Maker shall close or a record shall be taken for such a dividend or offer in respect of the matters referred to in (1) or (2) above, or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (3) above; and
(ii) in the case of the matters referred to in (3) above, at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (1) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, the date on which the holders of capital stock shall be entitled thereto and the terms of such dividend, and such notice in accordance with clause (2) shall also specify the date on which the holders of capital stock shall be entitled to exchange their capital stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution, consolidation, merger or sale, as the case may be, and the terms of such exchange. Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Note at the address of Holder; and
(iii) in the case of the matter referred to in (4) above, the same notice as is given or required to be given to the holders of such registration rights.
(e) Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Maker, the provisions of this Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 4, except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 4(b) and then in no event to an amount larger than the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b).
(f) Officers’ Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is required to be adjusted as provided in Section 4, Maker shall forthwith file at Maker’s principal office with a copy to the Holder notice parties set forth in Section 12 hereof a statement, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Maker, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that will be effective after such adjustment; provided, however, such statement shall not be required to the extent the information requested in this Section 4(f) is available through Maker’s current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If at any time the information described in this Section 4(f) is readily available through Maker’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Maker shall not be required to provide a separate notice of adjustment to the Holder; provided, however, if such information is not readily available through Maker’s current reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission and made public, Maker shall cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record Holder of this Note at its notice address(es) appearing in Section 12.
(g) Issue of Securities other than Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 4, the Holder thereafter shall become entitled to receive any securities of Maker, other than Common Stock (such as, for instance Common Stock upon the conversion of all Series Common Stock into Common Stock), thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exchange of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 4.
5. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid only in accordance with Section 1(e) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement (as redesignated and amended by the Modification).
6. Events of Default. An Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under this Note if an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (each, an “Event of Default”).
7. No Offset Rights. Maker may not offset any amounts due or claimed to be due from Holder to Maker against amounts due to Holder under this Note.
8. Costs and Expenses. Maker promises to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Holder in connection with the enforcement of, or collection of any amounts due under, this Note. Maker hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument, except for notices to which Maker is expressly entitled under this Note.
9. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Maker and Holder and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Maker without the prior written consent of Holder.
10. Modifications and Amendments; Reissuance of Note. This Note may only be modified, amended, or terminated (other than by payment in full) by an agreement in writing signed by Maker and Holder. No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Note shall be effective unless given in writing by Holder.
