WHEREAS, Bank is willing to amend the revolving credit facilities, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and to enter into the AR Financing Loan Agreement, and, effective as of the amendment of the Original Agreement and the effectiveness of the AR Financing Loan Agreement, to waive the Existing Events of Default;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED THAT:
1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS. Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
2.2 Committed Revolver Line Advances.
2.2.1 Advances.
(a) Prior to the IPO, Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolver Line or (B) the Borrowing Base minus (i) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (ii) the FX Reserve and (iii) the Cash Management Services Advances outstanding. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement. Commencing as of the IPO and thereafter, Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolver Line minus (i) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (ii) the FX Reserve and (iii) the Cash Management Services Advances outstanding.
(b) To obtain an Advance under the Committed Revolver Line, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under the Committed Revolver Line based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
1
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations that have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolver Line terminates on the Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
2.2.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit. Prior to the IPO, Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account in connection with the Committed Revolver Line (individually a “Letter of Credit” and collectively the “Letters of Credit”) not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolver Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the Committed Revolver Line, minus (iii) the Cash Management Services Advances outstanding (which Advances shall not be included in the outstanding Advances in the preceding clause (i) for purposes of determining the Letters of Credit availability), minus (iv) the FX Reserve. Commencing as of the IPO and thereafter, Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit not exceeding (i) the Committed Revolver Line minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the Committed Revolver Line, minus (iii) the Cash Management Services Advances outstanding (which Advances shall not be included in the outstanding Advances in the preceding clause (i) for purposes of determining the Letters of Credit availability), minus (iv) the FX Reserve. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Maturity Date, but Borrower’s reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.
2.2.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. If there is availability under the Committed Revolver Line and, prior to the IPO, the Borrowing Base, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (individually a “FX Forward Contract” and collectively the “FX Forward Contracts”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from availability under the Committed Revolver Line (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.
2.2.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use the Committed Revolver Line for the Cash Management Services. “Cash Management Services” means Bank’s cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreement related to such services. Such aggregate credit limit for the Cash Management Services shall reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolver Line by a factor of 1.00 (such aggregate credit limit the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”). All amounts Bank pays for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolver Line.
2.2.5 Overadvances. If prior to the IPO, Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, and 2.2.4 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Committed Revolver Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess. If on or after the IPO, Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, and 2.2.4 exceed the Committed Revolver Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.
2.3 Termination of Commitment to Lend. Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a Material Adverse Change.
2.4 Interest Rate, Payments.
2.4.1 Interest Rate. Prior to the IPO, Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) one percentage point (1%) above the Prime Rate, and (ii) 5%. Commencing as of the IPO and thereafter, Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) one quarter of one percentage point (0.25%) above the Prime Rate, and
2
(ii) 4.25%. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4.2 Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolver Line is payable on the last day of each month. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific Time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional interest shall accrue.
2.4.3 Request to Debit Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including Account Number for principal and interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off.

(a) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true as of the Amended Facility Closing Date;
(b) Bank shall have received the agreements, documents and fees required under this Agreement, including without limitation an executed copy of this Agreement, the Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E, and the Subordination Agreements of each of Borrower’s officers, directors and stockholders listed in Exhibit F, which agreements shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G;

3
(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension.

3.3 Waiver of Existing Events of Default.
3.3.1 Upon the satisfaction, or waiver by Bank, in its sole discretion, of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1, Bank waives the Existing Events of Default (the “Waived Defaults”).
3.3.2 The waiver of the Waived Defaults shall not operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default, now existing or occurring in the future, whether with respect to the Tangible Net Worth covenant or any other provisions of the Loan Documents. The foregoing waiver also shall not operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of Bank now existing or arising in the future with respect to any Event of Default not waived pursuant to Section 3.3.1.
3.3.3 Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that to the best of its knowledge the Waived Defaults are the only Events of Default that exist as of the Amended Facility Closing Date.
4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.
4.2 Authorization to File. Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest in the Collateral.
4.3 Release of Intellectual Property as Collateral. Upon the earlier of (1) the IPO, or (2) Bank’s determination that Borrower has had two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters with a net profit, as determined in accordance with GAAP, Bank’s security interest in the Intellectual Property shall automatically be released and Bank shall promptly take all actions reasonably required to give effect to, and evidence of, the release of the Intellectual Property from the Collateral. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Collateral shall include at all times all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”). Moreover, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically and at all times include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower has not changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse), except for Inventory which, in the ordinary course of business, is maintained at third party facilities outside of the United States (the “Foreign-Based Inventory”). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral, other than Foreign-Based Inventory, to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.
5.3 Litigation. Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers and legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material adverse change in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

9
8.8 Judgments. If a money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $100,000 is rendered against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 10 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or
8.9 Misrepresentations. If Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any material misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.
9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and Remedies. When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable; notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are
10
irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Except as provided above, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.5 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.6 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
10. NOTICES. All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.
11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Bank’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion. Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement.
12.2 Indemnification.

11
12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations in this Agreement.
12.4 Severability of Provision. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
12.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by Borrower and Bank. This Agreement represents the entire agreement about this subject matter, and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement merge into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the loans (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining such prospective transferee or purchasers agreement of the terms of this provision), (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate exercising remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
