Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together with all other documents securing repayment of the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”. Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”.

  2. Subletters (b) and (c) of Section 6.11 are hereby deleted in their entirety.

 

  3. Borrower has paid in full the Term Loan. Therefore, pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower is delivering a signed copy of the Negative Pledge Agreement comprising Exhibit F to the Loan Agreement and Bank is amending the definition of Collateral as provided in 4 below to exclude Intellectual Property, except that the Collateral shall include the proceeds of all the Intellectual Property that are accounts, (i.e. accounts receivable) of Borrower, or general intangibles consisting of rights to payment, 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 such accounts and general intangibles of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s security interest in such accounts and general intangibles of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property. In addition, Bank hereby agrees to terminate the IP Agreement and release its filings with the United States Patent and Trademark office, the Register of Copyrights and (as provided in the Exhibit A attached hereto) California Secretary of State with respect to Borrower’s Intellectual Property within 10 Business Days after the execution of this Loan Modification Agreement.

 

  4. Exhibit “A” of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and replaced with the Exhibit “A” attached hereto pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Loan Agreement.

 


4. CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever else necessary to reflect the changes described above.

6. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

 

This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written above.

 

7. CONDITIONS. The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is conditioned upon Bank’s receipt of the fully executed Negative Pledge Agreement.
