(b) Prepayment after Twelve Months of Amortization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), so long as no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, at any time after Borrower has made at least twelve (12) consecutive payments of principal and interest with respect to all Loans, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, Loans in whole but not in part, by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such Loans in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans as of the date of prepayment; (ii) all outstanding principal balances of such Loans as of the date of prepayment; and (iii) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of all interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment through the stated date of maturity of the Loans had they remained outstanding and been paid in accordance with the terms of the related Notes, in each case, as such amounts are determined by Lender.

(c) Prepayment after Eighteen Months of Amortization.

Borrower agrees that its right to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not apply in connection with a Liquidity Event or at any time thereafter.
(d) Prepayment if Lender Fails or Refuses to Fund a Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), if prior to the Termination Date Borrower satisfies all of the conditions precedent with respect to the funding of a Loan and Lender fails or refuses to make such Loan then Borrower may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, outstanding Loans in whole, but not in part, at any time from the date of such failure or refusal up to the date which is sixty (60) days thereafter by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding Loans as of the date of prepayment; and (ii) all outstanding principal balances of such outstanding Loans as of the date of prepayment, in each case, as such amounts are reasonably determined by Lender.
5. Issuance of Warrant. As additional consideration for the making of the Commitment, Lender has earned and is entitled to receive immediately upon the execution of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, a warrant instrument issued by Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto (the “Warrant”). Borrower acknowledges that Lender has assigned its rights to receive the Warrant to its parent, Venture Lending & Leasing V, LLC, and in connection therewith, Borrower shall issue the Warrant directly to Venture Lending & Leasing V, LLC. Lender shall furnish to Borrower a copy of the agreement in which Lender has assigned such Warrant to its parent.

As an additional condition precedent under Section 4.1 of the Loan and Security Agreement, Lender shall have completed to its satisfaction its due diligence review of Borrower’s business and financial condition and prospects, and Lender’s investment committee shall have approved its Commitment. If this condition is not satisfied, the Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) previously paid by Borrower shall be refunded. Lender agrees that with respect to each Equipment Loan advanced under its Commitment, on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loan, Lender shall credit against the payments due from Borrower on such date in respect of such Loan an amount equal to the product of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) and a fraction the numerator of which is the principal amount of such Loan and the denominator of which is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), until the amount of such credits made by Lender equals but does not exceed Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500). Except as set forth in this Section 6, the Commitment Fee is not refundable.
7. Documentation Fee Payment. Pursuant to Section 9.8(a) of the Loan and Security Agreement, Borrower shall pay Lender, on demand, the total amount of Lender’s actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, including legal fees, plus actual filing fees incurred by Lender or its counsel related to perfection of the Liens granted under the Loan and Security Agreement.
