Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
 
      On June 29, 2010, Unify Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Unify” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Unify Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Software Office Solutions, Inc., d/b/a Daegis (“Daegis”), and all of the shareholders of Daegis. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Daegis have been converted into a right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate merger consideration, which is made up of $24 million in cash, $6.2 million in convertible subordinated notes, and 2,085,714 shares of Unify common stock (the “Merger Consideration”). $1.2 million of the convertible subordinated notes are subject to set-off for indemnity claims the Company may have under the Merger Agreement post transaction for a period of 18 months after the effective time of the merger.
 
     The convertible subordinated notes are sixty-three month term notes, bearing 8% interest unless an event of default occurs, in which case the interest rate will increase to 13% during the continuance of the event of default, provided that the subordinated indemnity note bears interest at 3% until the eighteen month anniversary of its issuance, at which point the interest rate will increase to 8%. Subject to certain conditions, the convertible subordinated notes are convertible into approximately 1,771,428 shares of Unify common stock. The parties also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to register for resale the shares of its common stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and issuable upon conversion of the subordinated notes.
 
     The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Merger Agreement and the Convertible Notes and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the form of Convertible Note, each of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.6, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

     The Merger Agreement has been filed to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.  It is not intended to provide any other factual, business or operational information about the parties thereto.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of such Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures: (i) exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (ii) contained in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.  The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Companys public disclosures.
 
     The foregoing is intended only to be a summary of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
 
FINANCING AGREEMENT
 
     To finance the cash portion of the acquisition of Daegis, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Technology II, L.P. on June 29, 2010. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company was provided with debt financing consisting of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $24.0 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $6.0 million. The term loan bears an interest rate of the greater of (i) 10.25% and (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 8.25%, plus PIK interest of 2%, and has a term of 60 months. The revolving credit facility has an interest rate of the greater of (i) 9.25% and (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 7.25% and has a maturity date of June 29, 2015. As part of the financing, the lenders were issued a warrant to acquire 718,860 shares of Unify common stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share, subject to certain adjustments contained in the terms of the warrant. The Company has agreed to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant under the Registration Agreement. In order to secure its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Company has granted the lender a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets.
 
     The Loan Agreement requires ongoing compliance with certain affirmative and negative covenants. The affirmative covenants include, but are not limited to: (i) maintenance of existence and conduct of business; (ii) compliance with laws; (iii) use of proceeds; and (iv) books and records and inspection. The negative covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the ability of the Company (and the Company’s subsidiaries): (i) with certain limited exceptions, to create, incur, assume or allow to exist indebtedness; (ii) with certain limited exceptions, to create, incur, assume or allow to exist liens on properties; (iii) with certain limited exceptions, to make certain payments, transfers of property, or investments; or (iv) with certain limited exceptions, to make additional acquisitions.

     In addition, the Company is obligated to maintain certain minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA levels, certain total leverage ratios, and certain fixed charge coverage ratios, all as calculated in accordance with the terms and definitions determining such ratios contained in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains various information and reporting requirements.
 
     The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including without limitation events of default based on payment obligations, repudiation of guaranty obligations, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, insolvency proceedings, monetary judgments in excess of certain amounts, change in control, certain ERISA events, and defaults under certain other obligations.
 
     The foregoing is intended only to be a summary of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
 
JENSEN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
     Following its acquisition of Daegis, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Kurt A. Jensen on June 30, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Jensen will join the Company as its executive vice president and chief operating officer in order to assist with the integration of Daegis and to continue to manage the legacy Daegis business and employees. The Employment Agreement has a three-year term, which may be extended year to year upon expiration. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Jensen is entitled to a base salary of $325,000 with a performance bonus up to 55% of base salary, subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company, and guaranteed additional payments of $175,000 and $87,500 for the first and second years, respectively, of his employment with the Company. Mr. Jensen will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit programs, including the Company’s stock option plans. If the Company terminates Mr. Jensen’s employment for any reason, other than cause, or if Mr. Jensen terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Jensen shall receive his base salary, bonus, and benefits for the twelve months following termination. If Mr. Jensen terminates his employment for any reason, other than death, disability, or good reason, prior to the first anniversary of Mr. Jensen’s employment, Mr. Jensen shall pay the Company a buy-out and release fee of $500,000.
 
     The foregoing is intended only to be a summary of the Employment Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 hereto.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
     Effective June 29, 2010, the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, was consummated. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired (via merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) all of the outstanding stock of Daegis from the Daegis shareholders in exchange for the Merger Consideration described above.
 
Item 2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
     As discussed under Item 1.01 above, on June 29, 2010 the Company entered into the Loan Agreement. The information set forth above in Item 1.01 under the caption Jensen Employment Agreement” is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
 
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, on June 29, 2010 the Company issued 2,085,714 shares of Unify common stock, and $6.2 million in subordinated notes convertible into shares of Unify common stock as a portion of the Merger Consideration paid in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Daegis. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, on June 29, 2010 the Company issued a warrant to acquire 718,860 shares of Unify common stock as a portion of the consideration given to the lender as an inducement to enter into the Loan Agreement.
 
     Subject to certain conditions, the subordinated notes are convertible, at the election of the Company or the holder at any time following the twenty-first day after the Company has sent to its stockholders an Information Statement on Schedule 14C of the Exchange Act with respect to the action by written consent of the stockholders on June 25, 2010 authorizing the issuance of Unify common stock issuable upon conversion of the subordinated notes. The initial conversion price of the subordinated notes is $3.50 per share and adjusts to the twenty day volume weighted average trading price of Unify common stock for the twenty trading days ending two trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion if conversion is elected after the first anniversary of the date of issuance.
 
     The warrants are exercisable at the election of the holder at any time following the twenty-first day after the Company has sent to its stockholders an Information Statement on Schedule 14C of the Exchange Act with respect to the action by written consent of the stockholders on June 25, 2010 authorizing the issuance of Unify common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. The initial exercise price of the warrant is $3.30 per share and is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
 
     The subordinated notes, warrant and the shares underlying these instruments are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder as neither security was offered or sold to more than 35 purchasers and no form of general solicitation was used in either offer.
 
     The foregoing is intended only to be a summary of the subordinated notes and warrant and is qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6.

          (i) Preliminary Statement. On the day prior to the Closing Date, Company will prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Company’s determination and calculation of Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand. The Preliminary Statement will be prepared using the same accounting treatment and other methodology used by the Company in preparing the Company Financial Statements, and will in all respects be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company Financial Statements.
 
          (ii) Closing Balance Sheet. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Shareholder Representative will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth in reasonable detail Shareholder Representative’s determination and calculation of Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date. The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared using the same accounting treatment and other methodology used by the Company in preparing the Company Financial Statements, and will in all respects be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company Financial Statements.
 
          (iii) Closing Statement Preparation and Review. If Buyer does not object to the calculation of Net Cash on Hand set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet within thirty-five (35) days after the Closing Date, or accepts such calculation in writing during such thirty-five (35) day period, the Closing Balance Sheet will become the final determination and calculation of the Actual Net Cash on Hand and payment will be made in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v). If Buyer does not object to the calculation of Working Capital set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, or accepts such calculation in writing during such sixty (60) day period, the Closing Balance Sheet will become the final determination and calculation of the Actual Working Capital and payment will be made in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v). If Buyer objects to the Closing Balance Sheet, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty-five (35) days thereafter with respect to Net Cash on Hand, and no later than sixty (60) days thereafter with respect to Working Capital, Buyer will notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of such objection (a “Notice of Objection”). The Notice of Objection shall contain a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s determination and calculation of the Working Capital and the Net Cash on Hand, and identifying any adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration as a result of such amounts being greater or less than the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand set forth in the Preliminary Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared based on the books and records of Company using the same accounting treatment and other methodologies used by Company in preparing the Preliminary Statement.
 
15
 


          (iv) Closing Statement Dispute Resolution. During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of any Notice of Objection, Buyer and the Shareholder Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed items. If Buyer and the Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve all of such disputes within thirty (30) days of Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Notice of Objection, the items in dispute may be referred by either such party for determination as promptly as practicable to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall be jointly engaged by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative pursuant to an engagement letter in customary form which each of Buyer and the Shareholder Representative will execute. The parties will direct the Independent Accounting Firm to prescribe procedures for resolving the disputed items and to make a written determination, with respect to such disputed items only, whether and to what extent, if any, the accompanying calculations of the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand require adjustment based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Determination”). The Determination will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative to the Independent Accounting Firm and not on the Independent Accounting Firm’s independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any written reports, work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Accounting Firm by Buyer or the Shareholder Representative in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Accounting Firm in response to requests by the Independent Accounting Firm. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, the Determination will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders. The parties agree that, if the Independent Accounting Firm assigns to any item a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the Shareholder Representative (the “Upper Limit”) or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or the Shareholder Representative (the “Lower Limit”), the Determination for such item shall be adjusted to the Upper Limit or the Lower Limit, as applicable. If the value assigned by the Independent Accounting Firm to the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand, taken together, is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the value assigned to such items by Shareholder Representative in the Closing Balance Sheet, then the expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be offset against the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Purchase Note, otherwise such expenses and fees will be borne by the Buyer. 
 
     (v) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Working Capital amount determined in accordance with Section 2.10(b) (the “Actual Working Capital”) and the Net Cash on Hand as determined in accordance with Section 2.10(b) (the “Actual Net Cash on Hand”) will be used to calculate any necessary post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration in order to arrive at the Merger Consideration. Any such post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration resulting from the Actual Net Cash on Hand being greater than or less than, as the case may be, the Target Net Cash on Hand shall be made on or before the later of (x) the fifth day after determination of the Actual Net Cash on Hand and (y) the date thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Time. Any such post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration resulting from the Actual Working Capital being greater than or less than, as the case may be, the Target Actual Working Capital shall be made on or before the later of (x) the fifth day after the determination of the Actual Working Capital and (y) the date one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date.
 
          (A) Subject to subsection (D) below, if the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, Buyer will increase the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration by the amount of such difference.
 
16
 


          (B) If the Actual Net Cash on Hand exceeds the Target Net Cash on Hand, Buyer will increase the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration by the amount of such difference. 
 
          (C) If the Target Working Capital exceeds the Actual Working Capital, the aggregate principal balance of the Subordinated Purchase Note shall be reduced by the amount of such difference. 
 
          (D) If the Target Net Cash on Hand exceeds the Actual Net Cash on Hand, Shareholders will pay to Buyer the amount of such difference in cash.
 
          (E) The Preliminary Merger Consideration as finally adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.10(b) will be deemed to be the Merger Consideration.
 
     2.11 Section 338(h)(10) Election
 
          Buyer, Merger Sub and Company agree to treat the Merger as a “qualified stock purchase” of the Company Common Stock within the meaning of section 338(d)(3) of the Code and shall make a joint election under section 338(h)10) of the Code, and comparable state and local Tax provisions, with respect to such purchase (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In connection with the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Buyer and Company have agreed to the allocation set forth in Annex II of the Merger Consideration among the assets of the Company that are deemed to have been acquired pursuant to section 338(h)(10) of the Code and comparable state and local Tax provisions.

     8.1 Survival of Representations, Etc.
 
          Except as otherwise provided herein, all statements contained in this Agreement, any schedule or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of the parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by such party hereunder. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Date until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties, as well as any claims based upon or arising out of any covenants and agreements herein, may be asserted at any time before the date which shall be) the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, provided that the representations and warranties of Company contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5 shall survive forever, the representations of Buyer contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.6 shall survive forever, and the representations and warranties of Company contained in Section 3.21 shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the matters covered in such section. No investigation made by any of the parties hereto (whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date) shall in any way limit the representations and warranties of the parties. The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect the rights of a party in respect of any claim properly given by such party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided herein.
 
     8.2 Indemnification.
 
          (a) General.
 
          (i) Obligations of the Shareholders. Subsequent to the Closing and subject to Section 8.5, the Shareholders shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates, and each of their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, stockholders and agents (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from, any damage, claim, loss, cost, liability or expense, including without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, response action, removal action or remedial action (collectively “Damages”) incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Company contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.1, and any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8.2. The term “Damages” as used in this Section 8.2 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against Buyer Indemnified Parties, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by such persons in the absence of third party claims.
 
          (ii) Obligations of Buyer. Subsequent to the Closing, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Shareholders and each of their respective heirs, partners, officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each of the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from, any Damages incurred by such Company Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.1, and any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8.2.
 
48
 


          (b) Procedure for Claims between Parties. Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party (in either case, the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in Section 8.1 above, give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and provided further, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. In the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party, the Claim Notice shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative.
 
          The Indemnitor shall have ninety (90) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party or (ii) to provide such Indemnified Party with notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after the giving of the Dispute Notice, a representative of Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party shall negotiate in a bona fide attempt to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the giving of the Dispute Notice, either party may commence an action in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6.
 
          (c) Defense of Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party and a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnitor under this Section 8.2, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnitor as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates it was actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, if the Indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that it shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, or that it will defend such lawsuit or action under a reservation of rights, then it shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless such compromise or settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, in which case no consent shall be required. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the notice of claim, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnitor) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such compromise or settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, in which case no consent shall be required. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Shareholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnitor shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.
 
49
 


     8.3 No Right of Contribution
 
          After the Closing, no Shareholder shall have any right of contribution against the Surviving Corporation for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Company.
 
     8.4 Exclusive Remedy
 
          The remedies set forth in this Article 8 are the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any action arising under this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, provided that these limitations will not impair, alter or in any way affect the rights of any party with respect to any Damages resulting from fraud.
 
     8.5 Threshold; Limitations on Indemnity
 
          (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer on the one hand, and the Shareholders on the other hand, will not be liable for any Damages suffered by the other party unless and until the aggregate Damages suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party exceeds $100,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”); provided, however, that once the amount of Damages exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, then the Shareholders shall be liable for the full amount of all Damages including the amount of the Indemnification Threshold.
 
50
 


          (b) Subject to the following sentence, the total recourse of the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Shareholders for Damages pursuant to this Article 8 shall be limited to $1,200,000, and indemnity claims shall be made solely by offset against the Holdback Escrow (or Holdback Shares, if applicable), pro rata against all Shareholders in proportion to the percentage of the Holdback Escrow (or Holdback Shares, if applicable) held by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of each Shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Indemnified Parties may make Damage claims in excess of $1,200,000 for Damages (i) arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.21 (which Damages shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the cash portion of the total Merger Consideration hereunder), or (ii) resulting from fraud on the part of a Shareholder (which Damages shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the cash portion of the total Merger Consideration received by such Shareholder hereunder).
 
          (c) For purposes of calculation the value of the Holdback Shares used to settle Damages claims under this Article 8:
 
     (i) each Holdback Share shall be valued at the higher of (x) $3.50 per share, and (y) the twenty (20) day weighted average trading price of Buyer Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date upon which the Damages claim is made; and
 
     (ii) the number of Holdback Shares and the value per share shall be adjusted as equitably required to take into account stock splits, reverse stock splits and stock dividends completed by the Buyer after the Effective Time but prior to the payment of a Damage claim.
 
          (d) Other than such number of Holdback Shares (or such amount of the Holdback Escrow) as may be reasonably required to resolve Damages claims that are pending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Time, the balance of the Holdback Shares or Holdback Escrow, as the case may be, shall be released to the Shareholders on such eighteen (18) month anniversary.
 
ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS

          (v) By Buyer if more than twenty percent (20%) of the Shareholders have indicated an intent to exercise dissenters’ rights in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or
 
          (vi) By Company if there is a material breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 4 hereof or of any covenant or agreement to be complied with or performed by Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which would reasonably be expected to cause a failure to meet a condition to closing set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (an “Company Terminating Breach”), provided, however, that if such Company Terminating Breach is curable by Buyer through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days, but only so long as Buyer continues to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Company Terminating Breach (the “Buyer Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Company Terminating Breach is not cured within the Buyer Cure Period.
 
          (b) Except as set forth in the following sentence, no party hereto shall have any liability to any other party to this Agreement in the event of termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto shall remain liable for any breach of, or knowing misrepresentation made in, this Agreement occurring prior to the proper termination of this Agreement.

Any delivery by the Shareholder Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document executed by the Shareholder Representative will bind the Signing Shareholders by such documents or action as fully as if such Signing Shareholder had executed and delivered such documents. This appointment and power of attorney shall be deemed an agency coupled with an interest and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to termination by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Signing Shareholder or the occurrence of any other event or events.

          (f) Release by Signing Shareholders. Effective automatically at the Effective Time, each Signing Shareholder (and, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an officer, manager, employee and/or director of Company) hereby fully releases and discharges each other Signing Shareholder (including, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an officer, manager, employee and/or director of Company) (the “Released Parties”) from all rights, claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed (“Claims”), which such Signing Shareholder (and, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an employee, officer and/or director of Company) now or as of the Effective Time has against any of the Released Parties, arising out of or relating to events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Each Signing Shareholder hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states as follows:
 
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT 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.
 
Each Signing Shareholder has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney prior to executing this release. Each Signing Shareholder understands and acknowledges the significance and consequence of this waiver of the benefits afforded by Section 1542 and nevertheless elects to, and does, release those claims described in this Section 9.14(f), known or unknown, that such Signing Shareholder may have.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of Lender Expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to the payment of accrued interest on the Term Loan; third, to the payment of accrued interest on the Revolving Loan; fourth, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity; fifth, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loan; sixth, to any other Secured Obligations; and seventh, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; provided, however, the application of funds required pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 2.10.
 
          2.4 Late Fee; Default Interest.
 
          (a) Late Fee. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand.
 
          (b) Default Interest. In addition to the Late Fee, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, the Secured Obligations shall bear interest at the following rate(s) (such rate(s) the “Default Rate”): (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Revolving Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall bear interest at the Term Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash, and (c) all other Secured Obligations shall bear interest at the Term Loan Interest Rate, plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, such additional interest to be paid in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to Section 2.3, all accrued interest, including accrued interest calculated at the Term Loan PIK Interest Rate, shall be payable on demand in cash. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rates set forth in Section 2.1(c), Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.4, as applicable.
 
     2.5 Voluntary Prepayments
 
          (a) Revolving Loan. Borrower may prepay the Revolving Loan in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty.
 
          (b) Term Loan. Borrower may prepay, at Borrower’s option upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, in whole (or, in part with the prior consent of Lender in its sole and absolute discretion), the Term Loan, together with all Secured Obligations arising as a result of or relating to the Term Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the Prepayment Charge on the amounts so prepaid, provided that any prepayment of the Term Loan (i) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 with increments of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, with the written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, in such other amounts and increments), or if the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan is less than such amounts, then the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan; and (ii) shall be applied pro rata to all scheduled principal installments thereof. If Borrower prepays the outstanding aggregate amount of the Term Loan as herein provided, on such date of repayment, Lender’s commitment to make Revolving Loans shall terminate and all Secured Obligations shall be repaid in full in cash on such date.
 
27
 


          2.6 Mandatory Prepayments.

          2.7 Prepayment Charge. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Term Loan. In addition, Borrower agrees that such Prepayment Charge shall be payable if any portion of the Term Loan is repaid (whether as a result of acceleration, whether voluntarily or involuntarily mandatory repayments or otherwise) but not on account of any prepayment arising under Sections 2.6(d) or 2.6(g) hereof.

All payments received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

SECTION 3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIBOR AND TAXES; ETC.
 
          3.1 [Intentionally Omitted].
 
          3.2 Special Provisions Applicable to the LIBOR Rate.
 
          (a) Determinations Generally. The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar or LIBOR deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including without limitation changes in tax laws and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, Lender shall give Borrower notice of such a determination and adjustment and Borrower may, by notice to Lender require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment. In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and (i) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans that are outstanding, interest for the next thirty (30) days shall accrue at the per annum rate in effect on the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower and Lender shall negotiate in good faith the interest rate to be applicable after the termination of such thirty (30) day period and if the parties cannot mutually agree on an interest rate to be applicable thereafter, Borrower shall repay (without prepayment penalty) the Secured Obligations in full in cash upon the termination of such thirty (30) day period. 
 
          (b) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Lender, nor any participant, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Secured Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section 3.2(b) shall apply as if Lender or such participants had match funded any Secured Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
 
          3.3 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
 
          (a) (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
 
31
 


          (ii) If Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Lender shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Lender to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Lender shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower and/or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 
          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower and Guarantor. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower and each Guarantor shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 
          (c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower and each Guarantor shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Lender or paid by Lender (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender), and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 
          (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, any Guarantor or Lender to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.3, Borrower shall deliver to Lender or Lender shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Lender, as the case may be.
 
          (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
 
          (i) Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 
          (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
 
32
 


          (A) each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower, upon request of Borrower, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
 
          (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
          (I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 
          (II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 
          (III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation, 
 
          (IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 
          (V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
 
          (iii) Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrower make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. 
 
33
 


          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 
          (g) Survival. This Section 3.3 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
          3.4 Evidence of Debt. The Advances made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advance made by Lender to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Secured Obligations. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Note, which shall evidence Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 4. SECURITY INTEREST
 
          4.1 Grant of a Security Interest. As security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower and each Guarantor grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s personal property now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof (all of the same being hereinafter called the “Collateral”): all personal and fixture property of every kind and nature including all goods (including Inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents (including, if applicable, electronic documents), Accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, cash, money, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property (but excluding thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting capital stock of any Foreign Subsidiary that constitutes a Permitted Investment to the extent that such grant of a security interest would give rise to a material adverse tax consequence to Borrower or any Guarantor), instruments (including promissory notes), supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, Intellectual Property and Licenses, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles). 
 
          4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Borrower and/or such Guarantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Section 11 of the UCC or, as applicable, Article 9 of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Section 11 of the UCC or, as applicable, Article 9 of such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Borrower or such Guarantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower or such Guarantor and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly upon request. Borrower and each Guarantor also ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
 
34
 


          4.3 Other Actions. Further to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted Senior Liens) of, and the ability of Lender to enforce Lender’s Liens, Borrower and each Guarantor agrees, in each case at Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral and without limitation on Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations contained in this Agreement: 
 
          (a) Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If Borrower or any Guarantor shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible chattel paper, Borrower or such Guarantor shall, at Lender’s request, forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Lender may from time to time specify. 
 
          (b) Deposit Accounts. Other than with respect to amounts deposited pursuant to Section 9.20, for each Deposit Account that Borrower or any Guarantor, now or at any time hereafter, opens or maintains, Borrower or such Guarantor shall, prior to or concurrently with the opening of such Deposit Account, pursuant to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, cause the depositary bank to agree to comply, without further consent of Borrower or such Guarantor, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default with instructions from Lender to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Excluded Deposit Accounts. 
 
          (c) Investment Property. If Borrower or any Guarantor shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Collateral, Borrower or such Guarantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Lender may from time to time specify (but excluding thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting capital stock of any Foreign Subsidiary that constitutes a Permitted Investment to the extent that such grant of a security interest would give rise to a material adverse tax consequence to Borrower or any Guarantor). If any securities constituting Collateral now or hereafter acquired by Borrower or any Guarantor are uncertificated and are issued to Borrower or its nominee, or such Guarantor or its nominee, directly by the issuer thereof, Borrower or such Guarantor shall immediately notify Lender thereof and, at Lender’s request and option, either (i) cause the issuer to enter into an agreement under Section 8-106 of the UCC whereby the issuer agrees with instructions originated by Lender without further consent by Borrower or any Guarantor, or (ii) pursuant to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, arrange for Lender to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Borrower or any Guarantor that constitutes Collateral are held by Borrower or its nominee, or any Guarantor or its nominee, through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, Borrower or such Guarantor shall immediately notify Lender thereof and, at Lender’s request and option, either (x) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to enter into an Account Control Agreement, or (y) pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in the case of financial assets or other investment property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for Lender to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Borrower or such Guarantor being permitted, only with the consent of Lender, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which Lender is the securities intermediary.
 
35
 


          (d) Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Collateral in excess of $10,000 is, now or at any time hereafter, in the possession of a bailee, Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at Lender’s request and option, shall promptly obtain a bailee acknowledgment and access agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 
 
          (e) Letter-of-credit Rights. If Borrower or any Guarantor is, now or at any time hereafter, a beneficiary under a letter of credit with a notional amount in excess of $100,000, Borrower or such Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, Borrower or such Guarantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit. 
 
          (f) Commercial Tort Claims.

          11.16 Common Stock. The Common Stock shall not be listed or traded on any national securities exchange, or shall cease to be actively quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, for any period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days; or 
 
          11.17 Subordination of Seller Notes. Any subordination provision, in whole or in part, of any Seller Note shall at any time and for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or is declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any other Person in writing or in any judicial proceeding.
 
SECTION 12. REMEDIES 
 
          12.1 General. Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default: (i) Lender may, at its option, terminate its commitment to make any Advance; (ii) Lender may, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 11.7, Lender’s commitment to make any Advance shall automatically terminate and the Loans and all of the Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act); (iii) Lender may, at its option, notify any account debtor of Borrower or any Guarantor to make payment directly to Lender, compromise the amount of any such account on Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s behalf and endorse Lender’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to Lender’s account; and (iv) Lender may, at its option, exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
 
65
 


          12.2 Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect. Lender may require Borrower and/or any Guarantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give to Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, at least ten days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private or other intended disposition is to be made. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that such ten days’ notice is reasonable notice. In addition, Borrower and each Guarantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priorities:
 
First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender’s costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 14.11;
 
Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole discretion; and
 
Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in cash of all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
 
Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC. 
 
66
 


          12.3 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower or Guarantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 12.3 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would fulfill Lender duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other relevant jurisdiction in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 12.3. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or any Guarantor or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 12.3.
 
          12.4 Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any of present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that Borrower or such Guarantor will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured and, Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 
 
          12.5 Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender.
 
SECTION 13. GUARANTY
 
          13.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 13 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the obligations under the Loan Documents has occurred and all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder have been terminated, and that its obligations under this Section 13 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
 
67
 


          (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower or any Guarantor is or may become a party; 
 
          (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 13) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof; 
 
          (c) the insolvency of Borrower or any Guarantor; or
 
          (d) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
 
          Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the obligations guaranteed hereunder.
 
          13.2 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereunder against Borrower or any other Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the obligations under the Loan Documents before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor. It is agreed among each Guarantor that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 13 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement. 
 
          13.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of this Section 13 are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender, the obligations of Borrower or such Guarantor under the Loan Documents. 
 
          13.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 13.7, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 13, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 13.4.
 
          13.5 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize their benefits under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 13. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, of Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, Borrower and each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that Borrower or any Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor shall not impair Borrower or any other Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
68
 


          13.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability under this Section 13 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which Borrower is primarily liable under the Loan Documents) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
 
          (a) the net amount of all amounts advanced to such Guarantor under this Agreement or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Guarantor (including any interest and fees and other charges); and 
 
          (b) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Guarantor under this Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from Borrower or each other Guarantor under Section 13.7.
 
          13.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.
 
          (a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Section 13 of all or any of the obligations under the Loan Documents (other than financial accommodations made to that Guarantor for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate obligations under the Loan Documents satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Guarantor as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the obligations under the Loan Documents and termination of the Loan Documents (including all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder), such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 
 
          (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. 
 
          (c) This Section 13.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Guarantor and nothing set forth in this Section 13.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 13.1. Nothing contained in this Section 13.7 shall limit the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor to pay the financial accommodations made directly or indirectly to Borrower or such Guarantor and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which Borrower or such Guarantor shall be primarily liable.
 
69
 


          (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 
 
          (e) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantor against other Guarantor under this Section 13.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Loan Documents.
 
          13.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 13 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of Borrower and each other Guarantor to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower or such Guarantor is a party or in respect of any obligations under the Loan Documents or obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 
 
          13.9 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower and/or any Guarantor under this Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable jointly and severally by Borrower and Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by Lender. 
 
          13.10 Benefit to Borrower. Borrower and each Guarantor is engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of each such Person has a direct impact on the success of each other Person. Borrower and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit made hereunder.
 
SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS
 
          14.1 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

None of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended, modified or waived except by a written instrument executed by each of the parties to such Loan Document. 
 
          14.4 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 
          14.5 No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower or any Guarantor at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.

          14.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and each Guarantor and their respective permitted assigns (if any).

Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower or any Guarantor, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns.
 
71
 


          14.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of California. Payment to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 
          14.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 14.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 
 
          14.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.
 
          (a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
          (b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 14.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.
 
72
 


          (c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 14.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
 
          14.11 Professional Fees. Borrower and each Guarantor promises to pay Lender on demand for costs and expenses, reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by Lender in connection with: (i) documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and any other transactions between Borrower or any Guarantor and Lender, including, without limitation, UCC and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance and environmental audit or review (including due diligence review) costs; (ii) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (iii) collection of any Secured Obligations; (iv) administration and enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider, appraiser, consultant or other specialist engaged by Lender for such purposes); (v) costs associated with any refinancings or restructurings of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a “work-out” in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, and whether or not consummated; (vi) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender and its assignee(s) (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) in connection with the assignment, transfers or syndication of the Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000; and (vii) from and against all liability for any intangibles, documentary, stamp or other similar taxes, fees and excises, if any, including any interest and penalties, and any finder’s or brokerage fees, commissions and expenses (other than any fees, commissions or expenses of finders or brokers engaged by Lender), that may be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if (a) any Note or other Loan Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or Lender otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under such Note or such Loan Document or to enforce the provisions of such Note or such Loan Document or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Borrower or any Guarantor or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under such Note or such Loan Document, then Borrower and Guarantors shall pay the costs incurred by Lender for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including such fees and disbursements related to seeking relief from any stay, automatic or otherwise, in effect under any Debtor Relief Law). This Section 14.11 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 
          14.12 Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Lender by Borrower and Guarantors are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower or such Guarantor, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower or such Guarantor at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower or such Guarantor, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its Affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender acknowledges that it is aware, and that it will advise its directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors who receive information from the Loan Parties hereunder, that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received material, non-public information concerning the Borrower from purchasing or selling securities of the Borrower or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.
 
73
 


          14.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note(s) and Loan Documents to any person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that, upon receipt of Borrower’s written request, in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon. Lender further acknowledges (a) Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, is familiar with the business and affairs of Borrower and knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters such that Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes; (b) that the Notes are being acquired for Lender’s account, for investment purposes only, and not with any view toward the resale or distribution thereof, or with any present intention of selling, assigning or distributing all or any portion of the Notes; and (c) that the Notes may not be sold or transferred unless subsequently registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available. 
 
          14.14 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower or any Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in cash.

ADDENDUM 1 TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
 
          (a) Borrower’s Business. For purposes of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall be deemed to include its “affiliates” as defined in Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations Section 121.103. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender (as of the Closing Date and for a period of one year thereafter) and covenants to Lender as follows:
 
                        1.       Size Status. Borrower does not have tangible net worth in excess of $18 million or average net income after Federal income taxes (excluding any carry-over losses) for the preceding two completed fiscal years in excess of $6 million;
 
2. No Relender. Borrower’s primary business activity does not involve, directly or indirectly, providing funds to others, purchasing debt obligations, factoring, or long-term leasing of equipment with no provision for maintenance or repair;
 
3. No Passive Business. Borrower is engaged in a regular and continuous business operation (excluding the mere receipt of payments such as dividends, rents, lease payments, or royalties). Borrower’s employees are carrying on the majority of day to day operations. Borrower will not pass through substantially all of the proceeds of the Loan to another entity;
 
4. No Real Estate Business. Borrower is not classified under Major Group 65 (Real Estate) or Industry No. 1531 (Operative Builders) of the SIC Manual. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used to acquire or refinance real property unless Borrower (x) is acquiring an existing property and will use at least 51 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; (y) is building or renovating a building and will use at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; or (z) occupies the subject property and uses at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes.
 
5. No Project Finance. Borrower’s assets are not intended to be reduced or consumed, generally without replacement, as the life of its business progresses, and the nature of Borrower’s business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the business’s financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of assets (e.g., real estate development projects and oil and gas wells). The primary purpose of the Loan is not to fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items, generally over a defined production period, where such production will constitute the majority of the activities of Borrower (e.g., motion pictures and electric generating plants).
 
6. No Farm Land Purchases. Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Loan to acquire farm land which is or is intended to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes, such as the production of food, fiber, or wood, or is so taxed or zoned.
 
7. No Foreign Investment. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used substantially for a foreign operation. At the time of the Loan, Borrower will not have more than 49 percent of its employees or tangible assets located outside the United States. The representation in this subsection (7) is made only as of the date hereof and shall not continue for one year as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 1.
 


          (b) Small Business Administration Documentation. Lender acknowledges that Borrower completed, executed and delivered to Lender SBA Forms 480, 652 and 1031 (Parts A and B) together with a business plan showing Borrower’s financial projections (including balance sheets and income and cash flows statements) for the period described therein and a written statement (whether included in the purchase agreement or pursuant to a separate statement) from Lender regarding its intended use of proceeds from the sale of securities to Lender (the “Use of Proceeds Statement”). Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the information regarding Borrower and its affiliates set forth in the SBA Form 480, Form 652 and Form 1031 and the Use of Proceeds Statement delivered as of the Closing Date is accurate and complete. 
 
          (c) Inspection. The following covenants contained in this Section (c) are intended to supplement and not to restrict the related provisions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower will permit, for so long as Lender holds any debt or equity securities of Borrower, Lender or its representative, at Lender’ expense, and examiners of the SBA to visit and inspect the properties and assets of Borrower, to examine its books of account and records, and to discuss Borrower’s affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower’s officers, senior management and accountants, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender or the SBA. 
 
          (d) Annual Assessment. Promptly after the end of each calendar year (but in any event prior to February 28 of each year) and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower will deliver to Lender a written assessment of the economic impact of Lender’ investment in Borrower, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with the investment, the impact of the investment on the businesses of Borrower in terms of expanded revenue and taxes, other economic benefits resulting from the investment (such as technology development or commercialization, minority business development, or expansion of exports) and such other information as may be required regarding Borrower in connection with the filing of Lender’s SBA Form 468. Lender will assist Borrower with preparing such assessment. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower will grant Lender and the SBA access to Borrower’s books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of such proceeds. Borrower also will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition of Borrower as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.
 
          (e) Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds from the Loan only for funding the Acquisition and general working capital purposes. Borrower will deliver to Lender from time to time promptly following Lender’s request, a written report, certified as correct by Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer, verifying the purposes and amounts for which proceeds from the Loan have been disbursed. Borrower will supply to Lender such additional information and documents as Lender reasonably requests with respect to its use of proceeds and will permit Lender and the SBA to have access to any and all Borrower records and information and personnel as Lender deems necessary to verify how such proceeds have been or are being used, and to assure that the proceeds have been used for the purposes specified in Section 8.7.
 


          (f) Activities and Proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates (if any) will engage in any activities or use directly or indirectly the proceeds from the Loan for any purpose for which a small business investment company is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act, including 13 C.F.R. §107.720. Without obtaining the prior written approval of Lender, Borrower will not change within 1 year of the date hereof, Borrower’s current business activity to a business activity which a licensee under the SBIC Act is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act. 
 
          (g) Redemption Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Borrower, as amended from time to time (the “Charter”), if, pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the Charter, Lender is entitled to a redemption of its Warrant, such redemption (in the case of Lender) will be at a price equal to the redemption price set forth in the Charter (the “Existing Redemption Price”). If, however, Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the then current regulations promulgated under the SBIC Act prohibit payment of the Existing Redemption Price in the case of an SBIC (or, if applied, the Existing Redemption Price would cause the Preferred Equity Interest to lose its classification as an “equity security” and Lender has determined that such classification is unadvisable), the amount Lender will be entitled to receive shall be the greater of (i) fair market value of the securities being redeemed taking into account the rights and preferences of such securities plus any costs and expenses of Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant, and (ii) the Existing Redemption Price where the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable to Lender is limited to Borrower’s earnings plus any costs and expenses of Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant; provided, however, the amount calculated in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall not exceed the Existing Redemption Price. 
 
          (h) Cost of Money. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, all interest and fees charged pursuant to the Loan Documents shall comply with the provisions of 13 C.F.R. § 107.855, including, without limitation, that such amounts shall not exceed the Cost of Money ceiling (as defined hereafter). The current Cost of Money ceiling for this Loan is 14.5 percent.
 
          (i) Compliance and Resolution. Borrower agrees that a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, or any other set of facts or circumstances where it has been asserted by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) that Lender and its affiliates are not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant right with respect to, any securities issued to Lender by Borrower, will constitute a breach of the obligations of Borrower under the financing agreements between Borrower and Lender. In the event of (i) a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum; or (ii) an assertion by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) of a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, then (i) Lender and Borrower will meet and resolve any such issue in good faith to the satisfaction of Borrower, Lender, and any governmental regulatory agency, and (ii) upon request of Lender, Borrower will cooperate and assist with any assignment of the financing agreements from Hercules Technology II, L.P. to Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.

The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
 
          (g) Notwithstanding Section 2(f) above, if: (i) the Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as necessary) are not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (ii) the Company files such Registration Statement(s) without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 2(i) hereof; (iii) a Registration Statement(s) filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; or (iv) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement during the Registration Period, or Hercules is otherwise not permitted to utilize such Registration Statement(s) to resell such Registrable Shares (A) for the reasons set forth in Section 2(h) hereof or (B) for any other reason, in each case, for more than 30 consecutive calendar days or for more than 60 calendar days in the aggregate during any twelve-month period (which need not be consecutive business days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the date on which such Event occurs and for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as an “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights Hercules may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company shall pay to Hercules an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to (x) on the one month anniversary of the Event Date, $100,000, and (y) on each one month anniversary of the Event Date occurring thereafter (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such monthly anniversary) until the applicable Event is cured, a cumulative amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount paid on the one month anniversary of the Event Date and each succeeding monthly anniversary, if any, plus (2) $100,000 for each passing of an additional thirty (30) days thereafter, which amount will be pro-rated if the Event is cured prior to the next monthly anniversary; provided that the total aggregate amount shall not exceed $500,000 per month. For example, if an Event occurs and is ongoing for forty-five (45) days, the amount of the partial liquidated damages payable by the Company to Hercules pursuant to the terms hereof, would equal $200,000 ($100,000 for the first thirty (30) days plus $200,000 multiplied by the 0.5 to account for the fact that the Event was cured fifteen (15) days before the next monthly anniversary). Solely to the extent (i) the Warrant is not exercisable in accordance with its terms by the Warrant Exercise Date and (ii) the Warrant has been returned to the Company for cancellation in accordance with Section 8.20 of the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors and Hercules, this Section 2(g) shall terminate at cancellation of the Warrant, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall cease to be Registrable Shares and Hercules shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

          (h) If the Registrable Shares are registered for resale under an effective Registration Statement, the Holders shall cease any distribution of such Shares under such Registration Statement:
 
               (i) for a period of up to sixty (60) days if (A) such distribution would require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any transaction or negotiations involving the Company or any of its Affiliates that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, would materially interfere with such transaction or negotiations, or (B) such distribution would otherwise require premature disclosure of information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, would adversely affect or otherwise be detrimental to the Company; provided that the Company shall not invoke this clause (i) more than twice in any twelve (12) month period or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any such twelve (12) month period;
 
               (ii) not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, for up to thirty (30) days, upon the request of the Company if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Act for the offering and sale of securities for its own account in an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter therefor shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion the continued distribution of the Registrable Shares would adversely affect the offering of the securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company; and
 
               (iii) for a period of up to sixty (60) days after the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB or other event that requires the filing of a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement hereunder, so long as the Company has filed and is during such period actively pursuing effectiveness of such post-effective amendment with the staff of the SEC.
 
The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing at such time as (x) such transactions or negotiations have been otherwise publicly disclosed or terminated, or (y) such non-public information has been publicly disclosed or counsel to the Company has determined that such disclosure is not required due to subsequent events.
 
          (i) The Company shall (i) not less than five business days prior to filing of the Registration Statement, provide to each Holder for his, her or its review (A) a copy of the Registration Statement proposed to be filed, and all amendments and supplements thereto, in each case to the extent of any information with respect to the Holders, their and their Affiliates’ beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, and their intended method of disposition of Registrable Shares, and (B) all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof and any correspondence between the Company and the SEC relating to the Registration Statement (collectively, the “Registration Documents”), for a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, (ii) not file (or send) any Registration Documents in a form to which such Holder reasonably objects, (iii) not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such Holder and (iv) consider all appropriate comments that are timely provided by such Holder with respect to the Registration Statement. The sections of such Registration Statement covering information with respect to the Holders, their and their Affiliates’ beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, and their intended method of disposition of Registrable Shares shall conform to the information provided to the Company by the Holders.

     3. Piggyback Registration.

Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or any part of its Registrable Shares from a Registration Statement by written notice to the Company given at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company shall bear all of the Costs and Expenses of any Registration described in this Section 3; provided, however, that each Holder shall pay, pro rata based upon the number of its Registrable Shares included therein, the underwriters’ discounts, commissions and compensation attributable solely to the inclusion of such Registrable Shares in the overall public offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s obligation to include a Holder’s Registrable Shares in any such Registration Statement shall be subject, at the option of the Company, to the following further conditions:
 
          (a) The distribution for the account of such Holder shall be underwritten by the same underwriters (if any) who are underwriting the distribution of the securities for the account of the Company and/or any other persons whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement, and shall be made at the same underwriter discount or commission applicable to the distribution of the securities for the account of the Company and/or any other Persons whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement; and such Holder shall enter into an agreement with such underwriters containing customary indemnification and other provisions;
 
          (b) If at any time after giving the Registration Notice, and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration Notice, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the subject Registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any of the Holders’ Registrable Shares in connection with such Registration;

          (c) In connection with an underwritten public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Section 3, if and only if the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall advise the Company in writing that, due to adverse market conditions or the potential adverse impact on the offering to be made for the account of the Company, the securities to be included in such Registration will not include all of the Registrable Shares requested to be so included by the Holders, then the Company will promptly furnish each such Holder with a copy of such written statement and may require, by written notice to each such Holder accompanying such written statement, that the distribution of all or a specified portion of such Registrable Shares be excluded from such distribution (with any such “cutback” to be allocated among the subject Holders (and, if applicable, any other holders of Common Stock to be included in such Registration) in proportion to the relative number of shares of Common Stock requested by such Persons to be included in such Registration); and
 
          (d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Shares incidental to the Registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any equivalent form of registration then in effect.
 
     4. Registration Procedures. In the case of each Registration effected by the Company in which Registrable Shares are to be sold for the account of any Holder, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, will use its best efforts to:
 
          (a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements, including post-effective amendments, to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, until the completion of the distribution of the Registrable Shares included therein, as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions applicable to the form of such Registration Statement, and furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Shares covered thereby copies of any such supplement or amendment not less than three business days prior to the date first used and/or filed with the SEC, and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all the Shares to be included in such Registration Statement;
 
          (b) provide (i) the Holders of the Registrable Shares to be included in such Registration Statement, (ii) the underwriters (which term, for purposes of this Agreement, shall include a person deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act), if any, thereof, (iii) the sales or placement agent, if any, therefor, (iv) one counsel for such underwriters or agent , (v) not more than one counsel for all the Holders (other than Hercules) of such Registrable Shares and (vi) separate counsel for Hercules, the reasonable opportunity review such Registration Statement, each Prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment or supplement thereto, in each case to the extent of any disclosures regarding the Holders, their and their Affiliates’ beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, and their intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement (or any amendment to any such information previously included in such Registration Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Prospectus included therein);

- 12 -
 


          (b) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its Affiliates, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for any Holder, each officer and director of a Holder, legal counsel and accountants for a Holder, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder or any such Affiliate, underwriter, officer, director or controlling person becomes subject, under the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement), or contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration Statement in which Registrable Shares were included, the Prospectus contained therein, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other document related to such Registration Statement, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) arise out of any violation by the Company of the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to actions or omissions otherwise required of the Company in connection with such registration. The Company shall reimburse each Holder and any such Affiliate, underwriter, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder, or any such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by such Person expressly for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents. This indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
     6. Further Obligations of Holders. The obligations of the Company with respect to any particular Holder are subject to such Holder’s agreement to the following (which such Holder shall specifically confirm in writing to the Company upon the Company’s request in connection with any Registration Statement):
 
          (a) Such Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company all information concerning such Holder and its and its Affiliates’ holdings of securities of the Company and its Affiliates, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement, as shall be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement covering any of such Holder’s Registrable Shares.
 
- 13 -
 


          (b) Such Holder shall, not withstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed a Registration Statement, each person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, and any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for the Company, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or underwriter may become subject under the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement), or contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration Statement in which such Holder’s Registrable Shares were included, the Prospectus contained therein, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other document related to such Registration Statement, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Holder in writing expressly for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents. In no event shall any Holder be required to pay indemnification hereunder (or contribution under Section 7(d) below) in an aggregate amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the subject offering. This indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the subject Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
     7. Additional Provisions.
 
          (a) Each Holder and each other Person indemnified pursuant to Section 5 above shall, in the event that it receives written notice of the commencement of any action against it which is based upon an alleged act or omission which, if proven, would result in the Company’s having to indemnify it pursuant to Section 5 above, promptly notify the Company, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit the Company, if the Company so notifies such Holder within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by the Company of notice of the commencement of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder; provided, however, that such Holder or other indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at its own expense (except that the indemnifying party shall bear the expense of such separate counsel if representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest). The failure to notify the Company promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to indemnify such Holder or such other indemnified person, as the case may be, under Section 5 above, except to the extent that the Company shall be actually prejudiced or shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give notice, and shall not relieve the Company of any other liabilities which it may have under this or any other agreement.
 
          (b) The Company and each other Person indemnified pursuant to Section 6 above shall, in the event that it receives notice of the commencement of any action against it which is based upon an alleged act or omission which, if proven, would result in any Holder having to indemnify it pursuant to Section 6 above, promptly notify such Holder, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit such Holder, if such Holder so notifies the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by such Holder of notice of the commencement of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, however, that the Company or other indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the Company’s expense. The failure to notify any Holder promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Holder of liability to indemnify the Company or such other indemnified person, as the case may be, under Section 6 above, except to the extent that the subject Holder shall be actually prejudiced or shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give notice, and shall not relieve such Holder of any other liabilities which it may have under this or any other agreement.
 
- 14 -
 


          (c) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified person who is party to such claim or litigation, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each such indemnified person shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
 
          (d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 5 and 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then, subject to the limits set forth in Section 6(b) above, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to in Sections 5 and 6, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Shares on the other hand in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the sellers of Shares and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if all sellers of Shares were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by another method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this Section. The amount paid by an indemnified person as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action or proceeding which is the subject of this Section 7(d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of sellers of Shares to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be several in proportion to the respective amounts of Shares sold by them pursuant to a Registration Statement.
 
     8. Rule 144 Information. For so long as the Company shall remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Company will at all times keep publicly available adequate current public information with respect to the Company of the type and in the manner specified in Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Act.

     10. Waiver and Amendment. No waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall be valid unless evidenced in writing and duly executed by the Company and Holders holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the Registrable Shares then outstanding and/or issuable, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or of any provision that affects Hercules, including but not limited to Section 2, shall not be valid unless evidenced in writing and duly executed by the Company and Hercules. No waiver of any default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other, prior or subsequent default hereunder.

     18. Reliance and Benefit. This Agreement is intended to benefit, and may be relied upon by, all Holders from time to time, as if such Holders were expressly named herein, party hereto and signatory hereon.

The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder other than as specified in this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

          a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable unless and until the Company shall have distributed to the Company's stockholders an information statement, in accordance with Regulation 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the action taken by the Company’s stockholders by written consent approving the issuance of the Warrant Shares and twenty (20) days have elapsed from the date such information statement is first given to the Company’s stockholders. At any time on or after the twenty-first (21st) day following the Company’s distribution of such information statement to its stockholders, the Holder or its assignee may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by completing the subscription form attached hereto and surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 13, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price for the number of the Warrant Shares specified in the subscription form, or as otherwise provided in this Warrant, prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time on the Expiration Date. Payment of the purchase price may be made (i) in cash or certified check or by bank draft in lawful money of the United States of America or (ii) in accordance with the net issuance formula below (“Net Issuance”).
 
          If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment, then the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise such number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the following formula:
 
           X =   Y(A-B)  
  A  
 
  Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
 
  Y = the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Holder is exercising its rights under this Warrant;
   
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the date of exercise; and
 
B =
the Warrant Price.

3
 


          For purposes of the above calculation, “fair market value” shall mean:
 
                (i)  
if the Common Stock is listed or traded on the NASDAQ stock market or any United States securities exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ (including the OTC Bulletin Board), the twenty day volume weighted average trading price for the twenty trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date of exercise; or
 
(ii)
if at any time the Common Stock is not listed or traded on any United States stock exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ, the fair market value determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved in good faith by the Holder. In the event that the Holder does not accept the valuation determined by the Board, then the Company and the Holder shall, in good faith, select an independent valuation firm mutually acceptable to each of them to conduct a valuation of the price of a Warrant Share. The Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to receive the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to it upon exercise of this Warrant calculated using the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon the determination of the independent valuation firm, the Company and the Holder will make adjustments to the issuance of Common Stock based on the determination of such independent valuation firm. The determination of such independent valuation firm shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as between the Company and the Holder for purposes herein. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the engagement of the independent valuation firm; provided that a valuation is not required more than once in any given twelve (12) consecutive month period. If at any time there will be more than one Holder, then any determination of the fair market value, made with respect to a Holder, shall apply to all the Holders, unless any party proves that a material change in the valuation of the Company has occurred since the valuation was determined.
 
          b. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional shares of Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
 
          c. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock (which, for purposes of this Section 2(c), shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.

     3. Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.
 
          a. The Holder hereby acknowledges that (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (A) under the Act on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering and (ii) the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that it is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) (A) familiar with the business and affairs of the Company and (B) knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters to the extent that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and (iii) acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same.
 
          b. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the immediately following sentence, and if such intended transferee is not an affiliate of the Holder and the intended transferee provides a duly executed written confirmation that the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) of this Warrant are true and correct as to such intended transferee, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and, if requested by the Company in writing, furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable subject to the transfer restrictions provided for herein, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, shall be the Holder as referred to in this Warrant.
 
          The proper transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded in the registry referred to in Section 8(c) upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.
 
5
 


          c. If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:
 
          “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”
 
          In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.
 
     4. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant and shall at all times have a sufficient number of authorized shares so as to permit the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
     5. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
 
     6. Delivery of Stock Certificate Upon Exercise. Promptly after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price (which payment shall be deemed to have occurred when the funds are immediately available to the Company), the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon exercise (and in the case of partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the Expiration Date set forth herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or Holder’s designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with the full payment of the Warrant Price, is received by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in good faith by the Company.
 
6
 


     7. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
 
          a. Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession. If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
 
          b. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(i).
 
          c. Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(ii).
 
          d. Anti-Dilution.
 
               (i) If, at any time during the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, (A) the Company shall make a New Issuance for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such New Issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”) or (B) the total consideration paid (including exercise price of any option, right or warrant to subscribe for any class of shares of the Company or the conversion price of any security convertible into or exchangeable for any class of shares of the Company) (other than an option, right or warrant that is an Excluded Security) is when issued or is later adjusted downward to a price that is less than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such downward adjustment (such lower consideration price or adjusted exercise price or conversion price, the “New Issuance Price”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance or downward adjustment of such exercise price or conversion price, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of this Warrant, if a part or all of the consideration received by the Company in connection with a New Issuance consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be deemed to have a fair market value as defined in Section 2(a) above.
 
7
 


               (ii) If, at any time after the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company makes a Dilutive Issuance, then, upon such issuance, the Warrant Price shall be reduced to equal the amount computed using the following formula:
 
A * [(C + D)/B]
                             
                            where:
 
A the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
B = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis);
C = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis); and
= the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable for the total consideration to be received for the New Issuance if the purchaser paid the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issuance.

               (iii) Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 7, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
 
          e. Certain Shares Excluded. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 7 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.
 
          f. No Impairment. The Company will not, in any way whatsoever, including by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, or impair the economic interest of the Holder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions hereof and in the taking of all such actions and making of all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights and economic interests of the Holder against impairment.

     8. Notice To Holders.
 
          a. Notice of Record Date. In case:
 
               (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities;
 
               (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

Such notice shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to the record date therein specified; provided, however, failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the validity of such transaction.

Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of this Warrant of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.
 
          c. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant. The Holder may change such address by giving written notice of the change to the Company.

The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty, provided that the Company will give the Holder not less than fifteen (15) days advance written notice of prepayment.
 
     5. Conversion.
 
          (a) Optional Conversion. Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time following the twenty-first (21st) day after the Company has sent to its stockholders an information statement under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the action by written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Buyer Common Stock to authorize the issuance of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and so long as (i) the Buyer Common Stock is authorized for listing or quotation on a national securities exchange, Nasdaq or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets,” and (ii) all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note remains outstanding, either the Holder or the Company may at its election convert this Note into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of Buyer Common Stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under this Note (plus accrued interest) divided by the Conversion Price (as defined below), by notice of conversion and surrender (or, in the case of a Company-elected conversion, request for surrender) of this Note at the principal office of the Company, or such other office or agency of the Company as it may reasonably designate by written notice to the Holder, during normal business hours on any Business Day. The “Conversion Price” shall, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 below, mean (x) $3.50 (the “Initial Conversion Price”) if either the Company or the Holder elects to convert this Note prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance and (y) if either the Company or the Holder elects to convert this Note after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, the lesser of (A) the Initial Conversion Price (as it may be adjusted in accordance with Section 6) and (B) the volume weighted average trading price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the second trading date prior to the date of the notice of conversion.

          (b) Stock Certificates. On the date on which the Holder shall have satisfied in full the Holder’s obligations set forth herein regarding a conversion of this Note, the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Conversion Shares as of the close of business on such date. In the event of such conversion of this Note, certificates for the whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock constituting the Conversion Shares shall be delivered to the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) as promptly as is reasonably practicable (but not later than five (5) days) after such conversion at the Company’s expense.
 
          (c) Reservation of Shares; Stock Fully Paid; Listing. The Company shall keep reserved a sufficient number of shares of the authorized and unissued shares of Buyer Common Stock to provide for the conversion of this Note in compliance with its terms. All Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Note shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Buyer Common Stock.
 
          (d) Restricted Securities. The Conversion Shares hereunder may not, at the time of issuance, have been registered under any federal or state securities laws, and may constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of federal and state securities laws. By its receipt of Conversion Shares, if the shares are not then the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will be deemed to acknowledge and confirm that it is receiving such shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities laws.
 
     6. Adjustments.
 
     6.1 Adjustment Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined) prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Initial Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying such Initial Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Initial Conversion Price which, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive Extraordinary Common Stock Event or Events.
 
-3-
 


     An “Extraordinary Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue of additional shares of Buyer Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, or (iii) a combination or reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Buyer Common Stock.
 
     6.2 Adjustment Upon Certain Dividends. In the event the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of Buyer Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Buyer Common Stock payable in (i) securities of the Company other than shares of Buyer Common Stock, or (ii) other assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions), then the Company shall, not less than thirty (30) days before the record date for such event, give the Holder notice of such event.
 
     6.3 Adjustment Upon Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Buyer Common Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Extraordinary Common Stock Event provided for in Section 6.1, a dividend or other distribution provided for in Section 6.2, or a merger or other transaction provided for in Section 6.4), then and in each such event, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, in lieu of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other change by the holders of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock for which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
     6.4 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc.
 
          (a) In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another Company, then this Note shall thereafter be convertible for the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Note, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably possible, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.
 
          (b) The provision for such rights with respect to the Subordinated Purchase Notes shall be a condition precedent to the consummation by the Company of any such transaction.

     6.5 Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Company. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Initial Conversion Price, the Company at its expense will, within five (5) days of such adjustment or readjustment, furnish the Holder with a certificate prepared by the Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, showing such adjustment or readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
     6.6 Further Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Buyer Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Conversion Shares contained in this Note.
 
     7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Conversion Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Note in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Conversion Shares until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Company shall pay to the Holder the reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Holder in order to collect amounts due and owing under this Note or otherwise to enforce the Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder.

-6-
 


     No failure on the part of the Holder hereof to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Company, whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, shall constitute a waiver of any future Event of Default or of any other Event of Default. No failure to accelerate the debt of the Company evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default or indulgence granted from time to time shall be construed to be a waiver of the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter; or shall be deemed to be a novation of this Note or a reinstatement of such debt evidenced hereby or a waiver of such right of acceleration or any other right, or be construed so as to preclude the exercise of any right the Holder may have, whether by the laws of the state governing this Note, by agreement or otherwise; and the Company hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity that would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

     (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 13(g) herein above, the Holder shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of the Company or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment (i) the payment of which securities is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Section 13 with respect to Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment and (ii) all other terms of which are reasonably acceptable to the Senior Creditor.
 
     (i) At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such Insolvency Proceeding, the Holder shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act with respect to the Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), provided that the Holder shall not vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties, or (iii) the Holder's obligations and agreements set forth in this Section 13.
 
     (j) The Holder agrees, with respect to the Senior Debt and any and all collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that the Company and the Senior Creditor may agree to increase the amount of the Senior Debt or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Senior Debt, and the Senior Creditor may grant extensions of the time of payment or performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral or guaranties, and settlements with the Company and all other persons, in each case without the consent of the Holder or the Company and without affecting the agreements of the Holder or the Company contained in this Section 13; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 13(j) shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Company itself to agree or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which the Senior Creditor may have against the Company.
 
     (k) The Holder will not, at any time while the provisions of this Section 13 are in effect, modify any of the terms of any of the Subordinated Debt or any of the Subordinated Documents nor will the Holder sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Subordinated Debt to any person.
 
-10-
 


     (l) Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Holder all amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or prevent the Holder (except as expressly otherwise provided in Section 13(d) or Section 13(g)) from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by the Subordinated Documents and by applicable law upon a default in the payment of the Subordinated Debt or under any Subordinated Document, all, however, subject to the rights of the Senior Creditor as set forth in this Section 13.
 
     (m) The provisions of this Section 13 shall continue in full force and effect, and the obligations and agreements of the Holder and the Company hereunder shall continue to be fully operative, until the Payment In Full of all of the Senior Debt and such full payment and satisfaction shall be final and not avoidable. To the extent that the Company or any guarantor of or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had never been made. In the event that a Voided Payment is recovered from the Senior Creditor, an Event of Default (under and as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be deemed to have existed and to be continuing under the Loan Agreement from the date of the Senior Creditor’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment until the full amount of such Voided Payment is restored to the Senior Creditor. During any continuance of any such Event of Default, the provisions of this Section 13 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Subordinated Debt. To the extent that the Holder has received any payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of the Senior Creditor’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, the Holder shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the Senior Creditor, and the Holder hereby agrees to pay to the Senior Creditor, upon demand, the full amount so received by the Holder during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the Senior Creditor the amount of such Voided Payment. Upon the Payment In Full of all of the Senior Debt, which payment shall be final and not avoidable, the provisions of this Section 13 will automatically terminate without any additional action by any party hereto.
 
     14. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors, assigns and legal representatives. The validity, construction and interpretation of this Note will be governed, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

     1. 1. Company Notes. This Subordinated Purchase Note (the “Note”) is one of a series of Notes of like tenor in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated June ___, 2010 (the “Issue Date”), by and among the Company, Unify Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Strategic Office Solutions, Inc., a California corporation. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

Accrued but unpaid interest shall be paid on the first Business Day of the fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the termination of Section 13 and shall thereafter be paid quarterly, in arrears. Subject to Section 13, the principal amount, and any accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) September __, 2015 and (y) the date ninety (90) days after the Senior Debt has been fully and finally paid and all lending and other credit commitments under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have terminated (the “Maturity Date”).

Any prepayments hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any expenses then owed to the Holder, second, to accrued interest on this Note and third, to the payment of the principal amount outstanding under this Note. The Company shall have no right to make any prepayment of all or any portion of this Note unless the Company makes a simultaneous prepayment of the other Notes pari passu. The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty, provided that the Company will give the Holder not less than fifteen (15) days advance written notice of prepayment.
 
     5. Conversion.
 
          (a) Optional Conversion. Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time following the twenty-first (21st) day after the Company has sent to its stockholders an information statement under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the action by written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Buyer Common Stock to authorize the issuance of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and so long as (i) the Buyer Common Stock is authorized for listing or quotation on a national securities exchange, Nasdaq or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets,” and (ii) all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note remains outstanding, either the Holder or the Company may at its election convert this Note into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of Buyer Common Stock equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount due under this Note (plus accrued interest) divided by the Conversion Price (as defined below), by notice of conversion and surrender (or, in the case of a Company-elected conversion, request for surrender) of this Note at the principal office of the Company, or such other office or agency of the Company as it may reasonably designate by written notice to the Holder, during normal business hours on any Business Day. The “Conversion Price” shall, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 below, mean (x) $3.50 (the “Initial Conversion Price”) if either the Company or the Holder elects to convert this Note prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance and (y) if either the Company or the Holder elects to convert this Note after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, the lesser of (A) the Initial Conversion Price (as it may be adjusted in accordance with Section 6) and (B) the volume weighted average trading price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the second trading date prior to the date of the notice of conversion.

          (b) Stock Certificates. On the date on which the Holder shall have satisfied in full the Holder’s obligations set forth herein regarding a conversion of this Note, the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Conversion Shares as of the close of business on such date. In the event of such conversion of this Note, certificates for the whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock constituting the Conversion Shares shall be delivered to the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) as promptly as is reasonably practicable (but not later than five (5) days) after such conversion at the Company’s expense.
 
          (c) Reservation of Shares; Stock Fully Paid; Listing. The Company shall keep reserved a sufficient number of shares of the authorized and unissued shares of Buyer Common Stock to provide for the conversion of this Note in compliance with its terms. All Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Note shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Buyer Common Stock.
 
          (d) Restricted Securities. The Conversion Shares hereunder may not, at the time of issuance, have been registered under any federal or state securities laws, and may constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of federal and state securities laws. By its receipt of Conversion Shares, if the shares are not then the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will be deemed to acknowledge and confirm that it is receiving such shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities laws.
 
     6. Adjustments.
 
     6.1 Adjustment Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined) prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Initial Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying such Initial Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Initial Conversion Price which, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive Extraordinary Common Stock Event or Events.
 
     An “Extraordinary Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue of additional shares of Buyer Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, or (iii) a combination or reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Buyer Common Stock.

     6.2 Adjustment Upon Certain Dividends. In the event the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of Buyer Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Buyer Common Stock payable in (i) securities of the Company other than shares of Buyer Common Stock, or (ii) other assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions), then the Company shall, not less than thirty (30) days before the record date for such event, give the Holder notice of such event.
 
     6.3 Adjustment Upon Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Buyer Common Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Extraordinary Common Stock Event provided for in Section 6.1, a dividend or other distribution provided for in Section 6.2, or a merger or other transaction provided for in Section 6.4), then and in each such event, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, in lieu of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other change by the holders of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock for which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
     6.4 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc.
 
          (a) In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another Company, then this Note shall thereafter be convertible for the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Note, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably possible, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.
 
          (b) The provision for such rights with respect to the Subordinated Purchase Notes shall be a condition precedent to the consummation by the Company of any such transaction.
 
     6.5 Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Company. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Initial Conversion Price, the Company at its expense will, within five (5) days of such adjustment or readjustment, furnish the Holder with a certificate prepared by the Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, showing such adjustment or readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

     6.6 Further Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Buyer Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Conversion Shares contained in this Note.
 
     7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Conversion Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Note in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Conversion Shares until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid.
 
     8. Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
 
          (a) The Company shall fail to pay the principal amount of this Note and accrued interest thereon when due and payable (whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise);
 
          (b) The Company shall sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial portion of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, participate in any share exchange, consummate any recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other business combination transaction or adopt a plan of liquidation or dissolution or agree to do any of the foregoing;
 
          (c) An event of default has occurred and is continuing for sixty (60) days or more without being cured with respect to any Senior Debt or the Senior Debt has been accelerated and is due and owing to the Senior Creditor; or
 
          (d) The Company shall have applied for or consented to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator, or other court-appointed fiduciary of all or a substantial part of its properties; or a custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator or other court appointed fiduciary shall have been appointed with or without the consent of the Company; or the Company is generally not paying its debts as they become due by means of available assets, or has made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Company files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or has taken action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or if, within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Company seeking any reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the Federal bankruptcy code or similar order under future similar legislation, the appointment of any trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator, or other court-appointed fiduciary of the Company or of all or any substantial part of its properties, such order or appointment shall not have been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise or if, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay, such order or appointment shall not have been vacated (collectively, “Insolvency Events”).

     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder may, at its option, declare all amounts due hereunder to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration, the same shall, subject to Section 13 herein below, become and be immediately due and payable. If an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Company, then all amounts due hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder. If an Event of Default occurs, the Company shall pay to the Holder the reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Holder in order to collect amounts due and owing under this Note or otherwise to enforce the Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder.
 
     9. Right of Off-Set. In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(iv) and 2.10(b)(v)(C) of the Merger Agreement, the Company may set off adjustments made pursuant to that section for Actual Net Cash on Hand and Actual Working Capital against the Note. Any adjustments will be set off pro rata against all other Notes of like tenor.
 
     10. Waiver of Presentment, Demand and Dishonor. The Company hereby waives presentment for payment, protest, demand, notice of protest, notice of non-payment and diligence with respect to this Note, and waives and renounces all rights to the benefit of any statute of limitations or any moratorium, appraisement, exemption or homestead now provided or that hereafter may be provided by any federal or applicable state statute, including but not limited to exemptions provided by or allowed under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, both as to itself and as to all of its property, whether real or personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all extensions, renewals and modifications hereof.
 
     No failure on the part of the Holder hereof to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Company, whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, shall constitute a waiver of any future Event of Default or of any other Event of Default. No failure to accelerate the debt of the Company evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default or indulgence granted from time to time shall be construed to be a waiver of the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter; or shall be deemed to be a novation of this Note or a reinstatement of such debt evidenced hereby or a waiver of such right of acceleration or any other right, or be construed so as to preclude the exercise of any right the Holder may have, whether by the laws of the state governing this Note, by agreement or otherwise; and the Company hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity that would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

In the event that a Voided Payment is recovered from the Senior Creditor, an Event of Default (under and as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be deemed to have existed and to be continuing under the Loan Agreement from the date of the Senior Creditor’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment until the full amount of such Voided Payment is restored to the Senior Creditor. During any continuance of any such Event of Default, the provisions of this Section 13 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Subordinated Debt. To the extent that the Holder has received any payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of the Senior Creditor’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, the Holder shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the Senior Creditor, and the Holder hereby agrees to pay to the Senior Creditor, upon demand, the full amount so received by the Holder during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the Senior Creditor the amount of such Voided Payment. Upon the Payment In Full of all of the Senior Debt, which payment shall be final and not avoidable, the provisions of this Section 13 will automatically terminate without any additional action by any party hereto.
 
     14. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors, assigns and legal representatives. The validity, construction and interpretation of this Note will be governed, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. Any Dispute arising out of this Note by and between the Holder and the Company, shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.6 (Arbitration) of the Merger Agreement.

The term of Employee’s employment under this Employment Agreement will commence on the date of this Employment Agreement and will continue until the third anniversary of the date hereof (the “Employment Term”). The term may be extended for additional one-year terms upon mutual agreement between the Company and Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Employment Term is subject to termination pursuant to Section 13 below.
 
     3. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Employee will be employed as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Employee shall report to and be subject to the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors of the Company. Employee shall perform and discharge such duties and responsibilities for the Company as the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors may from time to time reasonably assign to Employee.
 


     4. COMMITMENT. During the Employment Term, Employee shall devote Employee’s full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the faithful performance of Employee’s duties herein, and shall perform the duties and carry out the responsibilities assigned to Employee, to the best of Employee’s ability, in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Company. Employee acknowledges that Employee’s duties and responsibilities will require Employee’s full-time business efforts and agrees that during the Employment Term Employee will not engage in any outside business activities except to the extent that prior written approval has been given by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company for specific activities that do not conflict with the Company’s interests or interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder.
 
     5. COMPENSATION
 
     5.1 During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Employee a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of $325,000 per year, payable at the Company’s regular employee payroll intervals, subject to increase pursuant to the Company’s standard policies and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
     5.2 In addition to the Base Salary, during the Employment Term, Employee shall be eligible for a bonus (the “Bonus”) each year. The Bonus shall consist of an annual performance bonus of up to fifty-five percent (55%) of Employee’s Base Salary, with the terms, conditions and performance goals of the Bonus established by agreement of Employee and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer subject to approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The annual Bonus shall be payable by the Company at the same time the other executives of Unify are paid a performance bonus, typically during the month of July.
 
     5.3 In addition, the Employee shall receive an additional payment on each pay period so divided to equal $175,000 for the twelve month period beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement. For the second twelve month period of the Employment Term, Employee will receive an additional payment on each pay period so divided to equal $87,500 for that twelve month period.
 
     5.4 Employee shall also be eligible for stock options in the Company’s stock, with the exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of issuance. The use of Long Term Equity Incentives (LTI) and the amount of the annual LTI is determined by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis depending on Company financial performance, the compensation survey results and changes in the Committee’s compensation philosophies. The option exercise price and number of shares will be finalized on the grant date of the stock option and the vesting schedule will be monthly over 48 months with a 1/48th share of the total grant vesting each month beginning on the date of the grant. The Company currently has a limitation on the number of stock options shares that can be issued in a fiscal year. Employee has agreed to receive an additional cash performance bonus in-lieu of an annual stock option grant (the “Extra Bonus) until such time as the option shares limitation is modified or eliminated and no longer affects the option shares available for grant. Therefore, for any fiscal years that Employee is to receive the Extra Bonus, Employee will receive approximately 30% of the value of that year’s annual stock option grant (that would have been granted to Employee in accordance with the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and market surveys were it not for the option shares limitation) as an additional performance cash bonus based on the EBITDA attainment. The Extra Bonus will be in addition to the Bonus outlined in Section 5.2. For fiscal 2011, the Extra Bonus will be $101,000 representing 30% of the approximate option value of $337,000.
 
2
 


     5.5 All compensation payable to Employee hereunder is stated in gross amount and shall be subject to all applicable withholding taxes, other normal payroll and any other amounts required by law to be withheld.
 
     6. BENEFIT PLANS. During the Employment Term, Employee will be entitled to receive benefits and participate in benefit plans at the same level and to the same extent as other executives of the Company (subject to any applicable waiting periods and other restrictions).
 
     7. VACATION. Employee shall be entitled to vacation time in accordance with Company policy, but in no event less than four (4) weeks annually. Employee shall make good faith efforts to schedule vacations so as to least conflict with the conduct of the Company’s business and will give the Company adequate advance notice of Employee’s planned absences.
 
     8. LOCATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Employee shall perform Employee’s duties under this Employment Agreement at the Company’s offices in San Francisco, California or in other such offices (if any) that the Company maintains within a reasonable commuting distance of Employee’s residence on the date of this Employment Agreement; provided, however, that Employee will be required to spend time at the Company’s offices in Sacramento, California as reasonably required by the Company.
 
     9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND INVENTIONS.
 
     9.1 Confidential Information.
 
     (a) Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information (as defined below) constitutes a protectible business interest of the Company, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the period of Employee’s employment, and at all times after termination of such employment, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, furnish, make available or utilize any Confidential Information other than in the course of performing duties as an employee of the Company. Employee will abide by Company policies and rules as may be established from time to time by it for the protection of its Confidential Information. Employee agrees that in the course of employment with the Company Employee will not bring to the Company’s offices nor use, disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any confidential information or documents belonging to others. Employee’s obligations under this Section 9.1 with respect to particular Confidential Information will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, and Employee’s employment with the Company, and will terminate only at such time (if any) as the Confidential Information in question becomes generally known to the public other than through a breach of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement.

     (b) As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means any and all confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, whether disclosed, directly or indirectly, verbally, in writing or by any other means in tangible or intangible form, including that which is conceived or developed by Employee, applicable to or in any way related to: (i) the present or future business of the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below); (ii) the research and development of the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) the business of any client or vendor of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

     9.2 Inventions as Sole Property of the Company.
 
     (a) Employee covenants and agrees that all Inventions (as defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
 
     (b) As used in this Agreement, “Inventions” means any and all inventions, developments, discoveries, improvements, works of authorship, concepts or ideas, or expressions thereof, whether or not subject to patents, copyright, trademark, trade secret protection or other intellectual property right protection (in the United States or elsewhere), and whether or not reduced to practice, conceived or developed by Employee while employed with the Company or within one (1) year following termination of such employment which relate to or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, research or investigation of the Company or any of its Affiliates or which are suggested by or result from any task assigned to or performed by Employee for the Company or any of its Affiliates.
 
     (c) Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by him or her (solely or jointly) are works made for hire under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., et seq.).
 
     (d) Employee agrees to promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions, all original works of authorship and all work product relating thereto. This disclosure will include complete and accurate copies of all source code, object code or machine-readable copies, documentation, work notes, flow-charts, diagrams, test data, reports, samples and other tangible evidence or results (collectively, “Tangible Embodiments”) of such Inventions, works of authorship and work product. All Tangible Embodiments of any Invention, work of authorship or work product related thereto will be deemed to have been assigned to the Company as a result of the act of expressing any Invention or work of authorship therein.
 
     (e) Employee hereby assigns to the Company (together with the right to prosecute or sue for infringements or other violations of the same) the entire worldwide right, title and interest to any such Inventions or works made for hire, and Employee agrees to perform, during and after employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in registering, recording, obtaining, maintaining, defending, enforcing and assigning Inventions or works made for hire in any and all countries. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee, to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee; this designation and appointment constitutes an irrevocable power of attorney and is coupled with an interest.

     (f) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Section 9.2, Employee hereby authorizes the Company and each of its Affiliates (and their respective successors) to make any desired changes to any part of any Invention, to combine it with other materials in any manner desired, and to withhold Employee’s identity in connection with any distribution or use thereof alone or in combination with other materials.
 
     (g) The obligations of Employee set forth in this Section 9.2 (including, without limitation, the assignment obligations) will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment with respect to Inventions conceived or made by Employee alone or in concert with others during Employee’s employment with the Company and during the one (1) year thereafter, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. These obligations will be binding upon Employee and Employee’s executors, administrators and other representatives.
 
     (h) All Inventions which Employee has made prior to employment by the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. As a matter of record, Employee has set forth on Exhibit A hereto a complete list of those Inventions which might relate to the Company’s business and which have been made by Employee prior to employment with the Company. Employee represents that such list is complete. If no list is attached, Employee represents that there are no prior Inventions.
 
     (i) Notwithstanding any provisions herein, Employee’s assignment to the Company of any of Employee’s rights set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, where no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used, where the invention was developed entirely upon Employee’s own time, where the invention does not relate to the Company’s business, and where the invention does not result from any work performed by Employee for the Company.
 
     10. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
 
     Employee acknowledges that Employee is subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 9.14(a) of the Merger Agreement, provided that Employee agrees that as applicable to Employee the period described in Section 9.14(a) of the Merger Agreement shall end on the latest of (x) the third anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (y) the first anniversary of the date Employee’s employment with the Company or any successor to the Company terminates for any reason or (z) the date through which Employee is paid severance under this Employment Agreement.
 
     11. RETURN OF COMPANY MATERIALS UPON TERMINATION. Employee acknowledges that all records, documents, and Tangible Embodiments containing or of Proprietary Information prepared by Employee or coming into Employee’s possession by virtue of Employee’s employment by the Company are and will remain the property of the Company. Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall immediately return to the Company all such items in Employee’s possession and all copies of such items, as well as any other property of the Company.

     12. EQUITABLE REMEDIES.
 
     12.1 Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 9, 10 and 11 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company if Employee breaches any of the terms of said covenants, and that in the event of Employee’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. Employee accordingly agrees that, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of said covenants, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing in this Section 12 will be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that it is able to prove.
 
     12.2 Each of the covenants in Sections 9, 10 and 11 will be construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of this Employment Agreement.
 
     12.3 In the event of any judicial determination that any of the covenants in Sections 9, 10 and 11 are not fully enforceable, it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat said covenants as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable, and that the court enforce them to such extent.
 
     13. TERMINATION.
 
     13.1 The Company may terminate the Employment Term immediately upon written notice to Employee if there has been a material breach of this Employment Agreement by Employee. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any breach by Employee of any of Employee’s obligations under Sections 9, 10 and 11 will be deemed a material breach of this Employment Agreement, and any of the following events will also be deemed a material breach of this Employment Agreement:
 
     (a) Employee’s continued and deliberate neglect of, willful misconduct in connection with the performance of or refusal to perform Employee’s duties in accordance with, Section 3 of this Employment Agreement; or
 
     (b) Employee’s commission of an act or acts constituting a felony or other crime of moral turpitude; or
 
     (c) Employee’s engagement in willful misconduct that causes or is likely to cause a financial injury to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Employee’s embezzlement of the funds of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or theft of the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or fraud against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their customers.

     If the Employment Term is terminated by the Company pursuant to this Section 13.1 or in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall have no further obligation hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee (except payment of Employee’s Base Salary under Section 5.1, subject to Section 5.3 hereof, and benefits under Section 6 accrued through the date of termination).
 
     13.2 The Employment Term will terminate upon the death or upon written notice from the Company to Employee upon the Disability (as defined below) of Employee. “Disability” of Employee will be deemed to have occurred whenever Employee has suffered physical or mental illness, injury, or infirmity that prevents Employee from performing, with or without reasonable accommodation, Employee’s essential job functions under this Employment Agreement for any ninety (90) days in any one hundred twenty (120) day period and the Company determines in good faith that such illness or other disability is likely to continue for at least the next following thirty (30) days. Employee’s salary prior to the Disability of Employee will be reduced by any benefits Employee receives from disability insurance provided by the Company or pursuant to a plan providing disability benefits maintained by the Company (if any such insurance or plan exists). In the event of termination due to death or Disability, the Employee shall be deemed to have earned the pro rata portion of any Bonus for the then current year based on the date of death or onset of the applicable illness, injury or infirmity. Except as set forth in the preceding two sentences, if the Employment Term is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.2, the Company shall have no further obligation hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee (except payment of Employee’s Base Salary under Section 5.1, subject to Section 5.3 hereof, and benefits under Section 6 accrued through the date of termination).
 
     13.3 The Company may elect to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder without Cause (as defined below) at any time; provided that if it does so, the Company shall, contingent upon Employee signing a full general release of all known and unknown claims, (i) continue to pay Employee’s Base Salary in accordance with Section 5.1 for twelve months following the termination date, and continue to pay Employee any additional compensation in accordance with Section 5.3 for twelve months following the termination date in the same manner as if the Company had not terminated Employee and provide benefits to Employee in accordance with Section 6 for a period of twelve (12) months after termination; and (ii) pay Employee the pro rata portion of any performance Bonus earned based on performance goals achieved prior to the date of termination. All payments under this Section 13.3 shall be subject to Section 5.5. Additionally, Employee’s outstanding options shall benefit from twelve months of additional vesting as of the date of termination.
 
     For the purposes of this Section 13.3, “Cause” shall mean any material breach of the Agreement as set forth in section 13.1(a) – (c) above.
 
     Except as specifically set forth in this Section 13.3, the Company shall have no further obligation hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee in the event the Company terminates Employee’s employment without Cause.

     13.4
 
     (a) Employee may terminate Employee’s employment with the Company at any time for Good Reason (as defined below), in which event the Company shall, contingent upon Employee signing a full general release of all known and unknown claims, provide Employee the same compensation and benefits specified in Section 13.3 above.
 
     For purposes of this Section 13.4, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events or circumstances: (A) a substantial adverse change in Employee’s authority, status, the nature of Employee’s duties or responsibilities; (B) a reduction by the Company in Employee’s Base Salary or the additional compensation as outlined in Section 5.3; (C) a failure by the Company to pay compensation or benefits to Employee when due; or (D) the relocation of the office of the Company where Employee is principally employed to a location which is more than fifty (50) miles from such office (except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with Employee’s customary business travel obligations in the ordinary course of business prior to the date hereof).
 
     (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, Employee may terminate Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason. In the event that Employee terminates his employment for other than Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligation hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee (except payment of Employee’s Base Salary under Section 5.1 and benefits under Section 6 accrued through the date of termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and because Employee acknowledges and understands that his agreement to be employed by the Company was a material inducement to and condition precedent to the Company’s consummation of the Merger Agreement, if Employee terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Employment Agreement, Employee shall pay to the Company, within three (3) business days of the date of such termination, a buy-out and release fee of $500,000.
 
     (c) All payments made to Employee under this Section 13.4 shall be subject to Section 5.5.
 
     13.5. Termination of the Employment Term in accordance with this Section 13, or expiration of the Employment Term, will not affect the provisions of this Employment Agreement that survive such termination, including, without limitation, the provisions in Sections 9, 10 and 11 and will not limit either party’s ability to pursue remedies at law or equity.
