1.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay PFG the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to PFG and are not refundable.
1.4 Loan Requests. 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.

1.5 Late Fee.

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.

In addition, as of the Effective Date, each Obligor has places of business and Collateral located only at the locations set forth in the Representations. 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.

Borrower has restated its Financial Statements in connection with the consummation of the Merger Agreement (the “Restatement”).

Since the date of the Restatement, there has been no Material Adverse Change.

4.2 Remittance of Proceeds.

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 the Senior Lender and other 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 the Senior lender and 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 the Senior Lender and other 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.

The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent PFG’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and no prior inspection or audit has revealed material deficiencies or inaccuracies in any Obligor’s books and records, only one such inspection and audit shall be at Borrower’s expense during any calendar year. PFG shall use its good faith efforts to minimize the duration of audits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall be required to disclose to PFG any document or information (i) where disclosure is prohibited by applicable law or any agreement binding on such Obligor, or (ii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product. If any Obligor is withholding any information under the preceding sentence, it shall so advise PFG in writing, giving PFG a general description of the nature of the information withheld.

4.12 Board Observer Rights. For so long as the Obligations remain unpaid and unsatisfied, each Obligor shall give a representative designated by PFG (the “Observer”) written notice of each meeting of the Board of Directors of such Obligor, at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the directors on the Board of Directors of such Obligor and such Obligor shall permit the Observer to attend, as an observer and at the expense of PFG, all such meetings.

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 Senior Lender and 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.

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.
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.
8.18 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.

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH III, L.P., the above-named Borrower and above-named Guarantors of even date.
1. LOAN (Section 1.1):
(a) The Loan: | The Loan shall consist of a one-time term loan in the amount of $5,000,000, all of which shall be disbursed on the Effective Date, subject to satisfaction (or PFG’s waiver, conditional or otherwise) of the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this Schedule. |
(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 accordance with this Section 1. |
(c) Optional Conversion: | 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 Eight Dollars ($8.00) 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 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 will use its reasonable best efforts to issue the Conversion Stock within three (3) Business Days of the delivery of the Conversion Notice and in any event shall issue the Conversion Stock within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of the Conversion Notice. |
Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
(d) Mandatory Conversion: | Subject to PFG’s determination that each of the following terms, conditions and limitations have been met, Borrower may upon thirty (30) Business Days’ notice (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) effect a mandatory conversion of all then-outstanding principal Obligations owing under the Note (such Borrower-initiated conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”): |
(1) No Default or Event of Default has or may have occurred at the time of any notice of Mandatory Conversion; | |
(2) (A) The Conversion Stock issuable under a Mandatory Conversion must be issued without a restrictive legend and be immediately and freely tradable by PFG and its purchasers or transferees, as determined by PFG (i) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to a then-effective registration statement covering the Conversion Stock and Warrant Stock, and in either case, without restriction, qualification or limitation pursuant to applicable state law, and (B) PFG must not then be or have been for the preceding six months subject to compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to the Note, Warrant or Conversion Stock; | |
(3) The ten (10)-day volume-weighted average price per share for Borrower’s common stock ending on the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given (the “Mandatory Conversion Price”) must be at least Twenty Dollars ($20.00); | |
(4) The average daily trading volume of Borrower’s Common Stock over the five (5) trading days prior to any Borrower Mandatory Conversion Notice (inclusive of the effective date of Mandatory Conversion) must exceed 250,000 shares; |
2 |
Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower may not effect any Mandatory Conversion, if either the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and the Warrant would cause PFG to become the beneficial holder of more than 10% of Borrower’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. | |
(6) Any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note to be converted being paid in cash on the effective date of Mandatory Conversion; | |
(7) the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.16(h) of the Agreement is true and correct without regard to the last proviso set forth therein; and | |
(8) The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall include the relevant calculations acceptable to PFG to show that a Mandatory Conversion meets or will at the effective date of conversion meet the foregoing requirements and shall be certified by a Responsible Officer with direct knowledge of the foregoing. | |
(e) Amortization of Loan: | (1) Trigger. If Borrower (on a consolidated basis with all Obligors) fails to earn and report (i) for fiscal year 2013, (A) Revenues of at least $47.5 million and (B) EBITDA of at least $($7.1 million), and for fiscal 2014, Revenues and EBITDA thresholds having been set by PFG based on Borrower’s 2014 Plan, but in no event less than: (i) for each of Q1 2014 and X0 0000, Revenues of not less than $16.4 million and EBITDA of $(1,250,000) and $(1,150,000) for each quarter, respectively, and (ii) for each of Q3 2014 and X0 0000, Revenues of not less than $21.3 million and EBITDA of $(700,000), (for each such quarterly period, the “Amortization Triggers”), then PFG may elect to amortize all or (at PFG’s sole option) part of the Loan over the shorter of a 24-month period from the date such PFG election is made or the remaining term to the Maturity Date (the “Amortization Right”), which Amortization Right must be exercised, if at all, not later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date PFG receives Borrower report certifying compliance (or failure to comply) with the Amortization Triggers and, if PFG so elects, Borrower shall thereafter commence to make monthly payments of principal and interest on all the Loan in conformity with the amortization schedule notified at such time by PFG. |
3 |
Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
(2) Amortization Schedule. The amortization schedule shall reflect that 60% of the outstanding principal balance at commencement of amortization shall be repaid within the first 12 months of such 24- month period (or such number of months that is one-half of the months remaining to the Maturity Date if less than 24 months remains at commencement of amortization) and 40% monthly over the remaining 12 months (or such number of months that is one-half of the months remaining to the Maturity Date if less than 24 months remains at commencement of amortization). | |
(3) Calculation of Thresholds. In calculating Borrower’s Revenues and EBITDA for purposes of amortization, revenues, income and expense associated with Borrower’s 340B Business shall be excluded. | |
(4) Suspension of Amortization. PFG may suspend Borrower’s obligation to make amortized payments at any time upon notice in its sole discretion. Borrower may not re-borrow any principal repaid by amortization of the Loan and the principal amount of the Loan repaid from time to time by Borrower may not be converted by PFG under Section 1(c) of this Schedule. | |
(5) Amortization Triggers in Future Periods. For periods after 2014, PFG shall set the amortization triggers based on Borrower’s Plan for each fiscal year, guided (but not bound) by the fact that the 2013 thresholds were based on 80% of Plan Revenues and 70% of Plan EBITDA, but not less than some incremental percentage increase over the prior year targets. | |
(6) Effect of Amortization on Conversion. The amortization of principal under this Section shall not affect PFG’s right to convert under clause (c), above, or Borrower’s right to effect a Mandatory Conversion under clause (d) (subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein) with respect to any remaining unamortized principal then outstanding. |
4 |
Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
(f) Prepayment: | (1) If there is a Sale (as defined below) on or before eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date, and PFG does not exercise its conversion right under Section 1(c) of this Schedule, Borrower shall terminate this Agreement by paying in cash to PFG, in addition to all non-principal monetary Obligations then outstanding, invoiced or uninvoiced, the outstanding principal of the Loan plus the value of the Optional Conversion as determined using a Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model (the “Black-Scholes Calculation”) with the following assumptions: (A) a risk-free interest rate equal to the risk-free interest rate at the time of the announcement of the Sale (or as close thereto as practicable), (B) a contractual life of the Loan equal to the remaining term of the Loan through the stated Maturity Date as of the date of the announcement of the Sale, (C) an annual dividend yield equal to dividends declared on the underlying Common Stock during the term of the Loan remaining to the stated Maturity Date (calculated on an annual basis), and (D) a volatility based on the market price of the Borrower’s Common Stock comprised of the greater of its volatility over the one year period ending on the day prior to the announcement of the Sale, and the volatility, over the one year period prior to the Sale, of an average of publicly-traded companies in the same or similar industry to Borrower with such companies having similar revenues. |
(2) If there is an Sale (as defined below) after eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date, 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. |
5 |
Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
(3) 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) 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. | |
Conversion Price Adjustment: | In the event that the Post-Acquisition Tender Offer (as described in Section 3.16(b) of the Loan Agreement) is effected at less than $10.30 per share (the “Assumed Tender Price”), the Conversion Price under Section 1(c), above, shall be adjusted (reduced) to reflect the percentage that the actual Tender Offer price bears to the Assumed Tender Price. For example only, if the Tender Offer price is $9.27, representing a price that is 10% less than the Assumed Tender Price, then the Conversion Price would be adjusted from $8.00 to $7.20 (the Conversion Price less 10%). |

Partners for Growth | Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement |
2. INTEREST. | |
Interest Rate (Section 1.2): |
The Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate from time to time, plus 5.25%, adjusted as and when the Prime Rate changes (i.e., floating); provided, however, if Borrower exceeds Revenues of $35.5 million and EBITDA of $(3.1 million) for the six (6) month period ending December 31, 2013, then the Interest Rate shall automatically, without further action by Borrower, be reduced to a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate from time to time, plus 3.25%, floating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Interest Rate shall not at any time exceed 10% per annum, 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. Accrued interest for each month shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month. |
3. FEES (Section 1.3): | |

(2) Senior Debt Limit. Borrower shall not permit the total principal amount of Indebtedness of all Obligors (collectively) to the Senior Lender to exceed $5,000,000 at any time outstanding; provided, however, if Borrower at any time exceeds EBITDA of $0 in each of three (3) consecutive months (which calculation shall include income and expense from Borrower’s 340B Business), then such cap shall no longer apply. Thereafter, if Obligors party to the Senior Loan Documents meet the borrowing availability conditions specified in the Senior Loan Documents as in their form on the Effective Date, such Indebtedness may not exceed the lesser of (i) the additional credit available from time to time under such Senior Loan Documents and (ii) the aggregate of (A) a principal amount of $25,000,000, plus (B) up to $1,000,000 in interest on loans due from Obligors, fees and expenses for which Obligors are obligated, sums due from Obligors in connection with the issuance of commercial letters of credit, issuance of forward contracts for foreign exchange reserve, and any other direct or indirect financial accommodation the Senior Lender may provide to Obligors (the “Senior Debt Limit”).

Concurrently, each Obligor shall cause the banks and other institutions where its Deposit Accounts are maintained to enter into control agreements with PFG, in form and substance satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business judgment and sufficient to perfect PFG’s security interest in said Deposit Accounts, subject to the security interest of the Senior Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to Borrower and each Obligor’s continuing obligation to disclose all Deposit Accounts under Section 3.4(b) of the Agreement), Borrower and each Obligor shall not be required to provide a Control Agreement in respect of: (i) xxxxx cash accounts with a maximum balance at any time not exceeding $25,000; (ii) Deposit Accounts used exclusively to fund payroll and related employment taxes, including withholding tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if any of the foregoing accounts used at any time for other than the specified purposes or substantially identical purposes, then a Control Agreement shall be required in respect of such Deposit Accounts. | |
(b) Subordination of Inside Debt.
