Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the terms and conditions of each other document, instrument and agreement executed in connection herewith (together with the Loan Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to make advances (each, an “Advance”) to Borrower, via wire transfer in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Loan”) according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan (based upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender). The amount of the Advance on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Advance”) shall be in the minimum amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000). Borrower may request Advances thereafter, upon no less than fifteen (15) days prior written request therefore delivered to Agent, through December 31, 2007, in minimum amounts of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). The Advances shall be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 2 hereof. The date of the Closing Date Advance is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On each Funding Date, each Lender shall credit and/or transfer (as applicable) to Borrower’s deposit account with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Advance.

1.2 Interest, Payments, Payment Terms, and Facility Fee.

(a) Interest. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Advances from the date of each Advance until the Loan is paid in full (“Interest”), at a per annum rate of interest equal to six and three quarters percent (6.75%) (the “Interest Rate”), to be calculated upon a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

(b) Payments of Interest. Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid Interest on the last business day of each calendar month, commencing April 30, 2007. In addition, accrued and unpaid Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the last date of any prepayment (with respect to the amount prepaid).

(c) PIK Interest. In addition to accrued and unpaid interest as provided above, payment-in-kind interest (“PIK Interest”) will be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances at a per annum rate of interest equal to three and one-half percent (3.50%), compounded monthly, and will be payable upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) earlier repayment of the Loan.

(d) Payments of Principal.

(i) Borrower shall repay to each Lender according to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, the outstanding principal balance of the Advances in full, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, and all fees, expenses and other amounts outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, in twenty-four (24) equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued and unpaid Interest, payable on the last business day of each calendar month, commencing on March 31, 2009, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Maturity Date.

All Obligations shall bear Interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuanace of an Event of Default, at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the Interest Rate then in effect under this Loan Agreement, plus five percent (5%). The provision in this paragraph for default Interest shall not be construed as any Lender’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts in strict accordance with this Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and any Lender’s acceptance of any such payments shall not restrict Agent’s exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure. All computations of default Interest shall be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

   WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation:    THE ACTIVE NETWORK, INC., a Delaware Corporation
Number of Shares:    ______
Class of Stock:    Common
Initial Exercise Price:    $.001 per share
Issue Date:    _________
Expiration Date:    The earliest of (i) March 22, 2014 (Subject to Article 4.1), (ii) the closing of the initial public offering by the Company of shares of its Common Stock, or (iii) the closing of an Acquisition (as defined below)

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration,                          or its assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise or Exchange in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the exchange right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Exchange Right. In lieu of exercising this warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time exchange this warrant, in whole or in part, for a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.4

1.3 Intentionally Omitted.

1.4 Fair Market Value. For purposes of Section 1.2, fair market value shall be determined as follows:

(a) If Holder elects to exchange this warrant in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and if the Company’s registration statement relating to such offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the fair market value of the Shares shall be the initial price to the public of the Shares (or the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.

(b) If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise or Exchange to the Company.


(c) In all other cases, the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable good faith judgment shall determine the fair market value of the Shares (or the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) at the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise or Exchange to the Company. If Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder in good faith disagrees with such determination, then the Holder shall promptly select three independent, nationally recognized investment banking firms and the Company shall select one such firm to determine fair market value. If the fair market value as determined by such investment banking firm is more than ten percent (10%) greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or exchanges this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised or exchanged and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.6 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this warrant, the Comp any at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.7 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

1.7.1 “Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the equity, securities or assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or the successor or surviving entity, as applicable, immediately after the transaction; provided, that none of the following shall be considered an Acquisition: (A) a merger affected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or (B) any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is canceled or converted or a combination thereof.

1.7.2 Exercise or Exchange of Warrant. If immediately prior to the closing of any Acquisition Holder has not otherwise exercised or exchanged this warrant in full, then this warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically exchanged for Shares pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition as a holder of Shares (or the Company Stock into which the Shares are convertible) on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.

1.8 Conditional Exercise, Exchange or Sale. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the exercise, exchange or sale of this warrant may at the election of the Holder be contingent upon the Company’s initial public offering or the closing of an Acquisition or other transaction involving the Company, in which case such exercise, exchange or sale shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to or upon the commencement of the Company’s initial public offering or the closing of the Acquisition or other transaction involving the Company, as applicable.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise or exchange of this warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event (other than an event described in Section 2.1) that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or exchange of this warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this warrant had been exercised or exchanged immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

2.4 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.

2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

  Re: Escalate Capital I, L.P.

Gentlemen:

This letter will confirm our agreement that pursuant to and effective as of the date you become a lender (the “Loan Transaction”) to THE ACTIVE NETWORK, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Escalate Capital I, L.P. (the “Investor”) shall be entitled to the following contractual management rights, in addition to any rights to non-public financial information, inspection rights and other rights otherwise provided to the Investor in the Loan Transaction.

The Investor shall be entitled, at its sole expense, to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with you regularly during each year at the Company’s facilities at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and advice and to review progress in achieving said plans.

The Investor may examine the books and records of the Company and inspect its facilities and may request information at reasonable times and intervals, during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice concerning the general status of the Company’s financial condition and operations, provided, that access to attorney/client privileged communications, and facilities or information of an extremely sensitive nature, the disclosure of which would be materially detrimental to the Company, need not be provided.

If the Investor is not represented on the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall give a representative of the Investor copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other relevant material that the Company provides to its directors, except that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or meetings or portion thereof if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential proprietary information, or for other similar reasons. Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the Board or such other time, if any, in each case as the Board may determine in its sole discretion, such representative may address the Board of Directors with respect to the Investor’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing the Company.

The Investor agrees, and any representative of the Investor will agree, to hold in confidence and trust and not disclose any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this letter.

[Signature Page to Management Rights Agreement]


The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the consummation of the sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with a firm-commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the public, (b) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company that is effected (i) for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing such rights and (ii) for purposes other than (1) the reincorporation of the Company in a different state or (2) the formation of a holding company that will be owned exclusively by the Company’s stockholders and will hold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company’s successor, or (c) payment in full of all monetary obligations for borrowed money in the Loan Transaction. The confidentiality provisions hereof will survive any such termination.

Our signatures below indicate our assent to the terms of this letter as of the date set forth above.

Re: Management Rights

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter will confirm our agreement that, in connection with a loan of up to $5,000,000 to, and related warrant from, The Active Network, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), by the fund listed above (the “Fund”), the Fund will be entitled to the following contractual management rights, in addition to rights to certain non-public financial information, inspection rights and other rights specifically provided to the Fund under that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”):

(2) The representative may examine the books and records of the Company and inspect its facilities at reasonable times and intervals. The representative may also request additional information from time to time concerning the general status of the Company’s financial condition and operations, and the Company shall provide such information; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to highly confidential proprietary information and facilities or to information that the Company has determined, upon advice of counsel, should not be disclosed to the Fund in order to protect the attorney-client privilege or for similar reasons.

It is contemplated that the loan and related warrants may be transferred to one or more investment funds managed by Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LLC, the General Partner. If transfers of the loan occur, each transferee of the loan (or portion thereof) shall be entitled to enforce the rights set forth in this letter directly, on its own behalf, as if it had been an original party to this letter. Although, for the sake of convenience, the transferees may designate a single representative to exercise the rights granted in this letter, each transferee shall have the right to appoint its own representative.

 

[Signature Page to Management Rights Agreement]


The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the closing of a public offering of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 which has become effective thereunder (other than a registration statement relating solely to employee benefit plans or a transaction covered by Rule 145), (b) such time as the Company becomes required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (c) such time as there are no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement and the Fund has no remaining commitment to fund thereunder, or (d) the transfer of Fund’s interests in the loan and related warrants to a third party which is not an investment fund managed by Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LLC, the General Partner.

Exhibit G – Collateral Description

All of the below listed personal property of Borrower (herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located:

(a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software, but excluding Intellectual Property (as defined below)), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights (excluding that certain Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., for the benefit of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the original face amount of $1,000,000 (the “Wells Letter of Credit”)), money, (excluding Registration Fees Payable) and all of Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records; and

(b) any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds of any of the foregoing, excluding Registration Fees Payable and the Wells Letter of Credit, but including, without limitation, insurance proceeds, and all supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time, including revised Division 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions, added by Stats. 1999, c.991 (S.B. 45), Section 35, operative July 1, 2001.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (x) the Debtor’s Registration Fees Payable, (y) the Wells Letter of Credit, or (z) any copyrights, patents, trademarks, servicemarks and applications therefor, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present and future infringement of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the foregoing Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Closing Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.

THE SECURITY INTEREST EVIDENCED HEREBY IS SUBORDINATED TO THE CLAIMS OF WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. (“BANK”), PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN SECURED PARTY AND BANK (AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN THAT CERTAIN LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY DATED AS OF MARCH 22, 2007).
