          (b) The execution, delivery and performance of (i) this Amendment and (ii) each Promissory Note contemplated hereby, by Acquirer and the Company Entities has been duly and validly approved and authorized. Acquirer and the Company Entities have all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform their obligations under, this Amendment and each

3


 

Promissory Note contemplated hereby, and have all requisite corporate power and authority to take any and all actions that may be necessary on their part to issue each Promissory Note.
          (c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency, commission or other Governmental Authority or any other Person or entity, governmental or otherwise, is necessary or required to be made or obtained by Acquirer or the Company Entities to enable Acquirer and the Company Entities to lawfully execute and deliver, enter into, and to perform its obligations under, this Amendment and each of the Promissory Notes contemplated hereby, except for such consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency, commission or other Governmental Authority or any other Person or entity, governmental or otherwise, if any, that if not made or obtained by Acquirer or Sub would not be material to Acquirer’s or Sub’s ability to consummate the Merger or to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
          (d) This Amendment and the Promissory Notes contemplated hereby are, or when executed by Acquirer, the Company Entities, as applicable, and each of the other parties hereto and thereto will be, valid and binding obligations of Acquirer and the Company Entities, as applicable, enforceable against Acquirer and the Company Entities, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, except as to the effect of (a) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and (b) rules of law and equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
          (e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the Promissory Notes or any other transactions contemplated hereby, will (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association or Bylaws of Acquirer or the Company Entities, each as currently in effect, or (b) except as would not have a Material Adverse Change on Acquirer, conflict with or violate any Applicable Law.
          (f) Immediately after the issuance of the Promissory Notes, (a) the fair value of the assets of Acquirer, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of Acquirer will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) Acquirer will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) Acquirer will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
     11. So long as any amounts under the Promissory Notes remain outstanding, the Acquirer shall not:
          (a) Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, other than (i) Indebtedness arising under and pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007, by and among Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Acquirer, as from time to time amended or restated (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), (ii) any Indebtedness refinancing or replacing the Indebtedness (and/or commitments to lend) pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, (iii) Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement), provided that any amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, or any such refinancing or replacement does not, without the prior consent of the Representative, (A) increase the principal amount of Indebtedness that may be outstanding thereunder to an amount that exceeds $10,000,000, (B) accelerate the dates on which payments of principal or interest are due, or (C) change any redemption or prepayment provisions except to waive or make such provisions less restrictive (such debt referred to in clause (i) and (ii), the “Senior Debt”) and

4


 

(iv) Indebtedness the principal amount of which is used to prepay the Promissory Notes, and (v) unsecured Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in all respects to the Promissory Notes on customary terms or on terms otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Representative.
          (b) Declare, make or pay any dividends or distributions with respect, or redeem, retire or repurchase any capital stock or other equity securities of Acquirer (other than repurchases from employees at a price equal to their purchase price pursuant to agreements in effect on the date hereof).
          (c) Make any payments in respect of any other Indebtedness other than payments (i) arising with respect to the Senior Debt and (ii) interest payments.
     For purposes of this Section 11, “Indebtedness” shall mean (a) indebtedness for borrowed money, (b) reimbursement and other obligations for surety bonds and letters of credit, (c) capital lease obligations, and (d) Contingent Obligations.
     For purposes of this Section 11, “Contingent Obligations” shall mean, for any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or not, of that Person for (a) any indebtedness, lease, dividend, letter of credit or other obligation of another such as an obligation directly or indirectly guaranteed, endorsed, co-made, discounted or sold with recourse by that Person, or for which that Person is directly or indirectly liable; and (b) any obligations for undrawn letters of credit for the account of that Person; but “Contingent Obligation” does not include endorsements in the ordinary course of business. The amount of a Contingent Obligation is the stated or determined amount of the primary obligation for which the Contingent Obligation is made or, if not determinable, the maximum reasonably anticipated liability for it determined by the Person in good faith; but the amount may not exceed the maximum of the obligations under any guarantee or other support arrangement.
     12. Except as specifically modified hereby, all terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This Amendment shall be deemed to form an integral part of the Merger Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Merger Agreement and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment will prevail and govern. All references to the “Agreement” in the Merger Agreement shall hereinafter refer to the Merger Agreement as amended by this Amendment. The Company Shareholders shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
