Definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 13 below. The parties agree as follows:

     1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

     Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

     2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

     2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrowers hereby jointly, severally and unconditionally promise to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

     2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

          (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

          (b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

     2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

     As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for any Borrower’s account. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. The aggregate amount available to be used for the issuance of Letters of Credit may not exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the lesser of: (A) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) at any time or (B) the Availability Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may issue standby Letters of Credit with an aggregate face amount of up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) at any time outstanding even if there is no availability under the Borrowing Base. If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrowers shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as reasonably estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrowers agree to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

          (a) The obligation of Borrowers to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and the Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and Borrowers shall perform strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.

          (b) Borrowers may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrowers of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.

          (c) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

     2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrowers may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which a Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

     2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrowers may use up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrowers for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

     2.1.5 Term Loan. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrowers in an amount up to the Term Loan Amount on the Second Amended and Restated Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan in (i) thirty-six (36) equal installments of principal, plus (ii) payments of accrued interest (the “Term Loan Payment”). Beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs, the principal portion of each Term Loan Payment shall be payable on the first day of each month. The interest portion of each Term Loan payment shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date. Borrower’s final Term Loan Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan. The Term Loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

     2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, Borrowers’ Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, or 2.1.4 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) subject to the qualification contained in Section 2.1.2 with respect to Letters of Credit with an aggregate face amount of up to $1,500,000, the Borrowing Base, Borrowers must immediately pay Bank the excess.

     2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

          (a) Interest Rate.

               (i) Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to .75% percentage points above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(g) below.

               (ii) Term Loan. The Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to (i) for Prime Rate Term Loans, the Prime Rate plus 1.50%, and (ii) for LIBOR Term Loans, the LIBOR Rate plus 4.00%. On and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Term Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR Term Loan shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus five percent (5.00%). In no event shall Borrowers maintain at any time LIBOR Term Loans having more than two (2) different Interest Periods.

          (b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto in the case of Advances or Prime Rate Term Loans (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

          (c) Prime Rate Adjustments. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.

          (d) LIBOR Term Loans. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Term Loan shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Term Loan, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Term Loan.

          (e) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

          (f) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of any Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts any Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

          (g) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.

     2.4 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Bank:

          (a) Revolving Line Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee equal to one-quarter of a percent (.25%) of the Revolving Line, less a pro-rated amount in respect of the loan fee of $7000 received on the effective date of the 2008 Loan Agreement, on the Second Amended and Restated Effective Date; and if Borrowers’ balances at Bank or Bank’s affiliates drop below $5,000,000 at any time, Borrowers will immediately pay to Bank an additional Commitment fee of $30,000;

          (b) Term Loan Fee. A fully-earned, non-refundable fee equal to one-half of one percent (.50%) of the Term Loan Amount, on the Second Amended and Restated Effective Date; and

No Advances or Term Loan shall be deemed made to Borrowers, and no interest shall accrue on any such Credit Extension, until the related funds have been deposited in the Designated Deposit Account.

     3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

          (a) So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Term Loans, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:

     (1) elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Term Loans into LIBOR Term Loans;

     (2) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Term Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date; or

     (3) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Term Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Term Loans.

     (1) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;

     (2) aggregate amount of the Term Loans to be converted or continued;

     (3) nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and

     (4) duration of the requested Interest Period.

          (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Term Loans, Borrower shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Term Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Term Loans into Prime Rate Term Loans.

          (d) Any LIBOR Term Loans shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Term Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default shall exist. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Term Loans to Prime Rate Term Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5(d).

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Term Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Term Loans.

     3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Term Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Term Loans as to the matters covered:

          (a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Term Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.

          (b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Term Loan, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Advance on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Term Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Term Loans until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Term Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

          (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation), for all losses, expenses, unrealized gains and liabilities (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Term Loans, any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, and, in the case of complete or partial principal payments or conversions of LIBOR Term Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any amount by which (A) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so prepaid or converted had it not been paid or converted until the last day of the applicable Interest Period exceeds (B) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so paid or converted and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion), if any, that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Term Loans due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(c) and 3.7(d)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Term Loan does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration) any complete or partial principal payment or any conversion of any of Borrower’s LIBOR Term Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Advance. Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Term Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Term Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Term Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Term Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7.

          (e) LIBOR Term Loans After Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Credit Extension be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Term Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Term Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Term Loans referred to therein as Prime Rate Term Loans.

     3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Term Loans.

     (a) Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Term Loans relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

          (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Term Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);

          (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR Term Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or

          (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

     Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7(a). Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make LIBOR Term Loans, of making or maintaining LIBOR Term Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of LIBOR Term Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (b) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (c) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Term Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore

currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Term Loans, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Term Loans shall terminate; provided, however, LIBOR Term Loans shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Term Loans.

     (d) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Term Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the LIBOR Term Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(c)(ii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Term Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.7(c)(ii), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Term Loan or to have outstanding Term Loans converted into or continued as Prime Rate Term Loans by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.

     4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

     4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Each Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If any Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by such Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

     If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and obligations with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit for which cash collateral has been provided pursuant to Section 2.1.2) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of such Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrowers.

     Any assets that are sold or disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 7.1 shall be released from the Lien granted hereunder and shall no longer be part of the Collateral upon the consummation of such transaction. Any Permitted Distributions (whether in the form of cash, instruments or otherwise) properly made pursuant to Section 7.7 shall be released from the Lien granted hereunder and shall no longer be part of the Collateral upon the making of such Permitted Distribution.

     4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrowers, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrowers or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.

represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

     The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect or which can only be made or obtained in the future or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound.

     5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no Deposit Accounts other than the Deposit Accounts with Bank, the Deposit Accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

     The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except for inventory located at printers from time to time and as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion.

     Borrower is the sole owner of its intellectual property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each patent is valid and enforceable, and no part of the intellectual property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the intellectual property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate or as notified to Bank pursuant to the next sentence, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public) with respect to which Borrower is the licensee (a) that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property, or (b) for which a default under or termination of could interfere with the Bank’s right to sell any Collateral. Borrower shall provide written notice to Bank within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public).

     5.3 Accounts Receivable. For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may, during an audit of Eligible Accounts, notify any Account Debtor owing

Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

     5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

     5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

     5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

     5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower, except that Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower the payment of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

     5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital, to fund its general business requirements and to retire the Oak Hill Note, and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

     5.11 Designation of Indebtedness under this Agreement as Senior Indebtedness.

     5.12 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

     9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

     9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

          (a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

          (b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrowers and Bank;

          (c) demand that Borrowers (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrowers shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

          (d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

          (e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrowers money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

          (f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

          (g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers;

          (h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,

trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

          (i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

          (j) demand and receive possession of Borrowers’ Books; and

          (k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

     9.2 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Each Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations other than inchoate indemnity obligations and obligations with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit for which cash collateral has been provided pursuant to Section 2.1.2) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

     9.3 Protective Payments. If any Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.3 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrowers is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrowers with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

     9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Bank Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees and other charges in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrowers’ account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrowers or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

     9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

     9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

     9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrowers are liable.

     11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

     California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrowers and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrowers at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrowers’ actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

     TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWERS AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

     WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

     12 GENERAL PROVISIONS

     12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.

     12.2 Indemnification. Borrowers agree to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank

Expenses incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person from, following, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrowers (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

     12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

     12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrowers in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

     12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank for the benefit of Borrower with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

     12.10 Co-Borrower Waivers.

     (a) Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Bank and its successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Bank by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 12.10 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

     (i) 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 any Borrower is or may become a party;

     (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12.10) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Bank with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

     (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Bank in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

     (iv) the insolvency of any Borrower or any Guarantor; or

     (v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

     Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as the principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

     (b) Specific Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower 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 Bank to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower or any Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower expressly waives the benefit of California Civil Code Section 2815 permitting the revocation of any guaranty as to future transactions and the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855, 2899 and 1432 with respect to certain suretyship defenses. It is agreed among each Borrower and Bank 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 12.10 and such waivers, Bank would decline to enter into this Agreement.

     (c) Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12.10 are for the benefit of Bank and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Bank, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

     (d) Waiver of Subrogation. Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or until all obligations are paid in full, each Borrower 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 Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Bank and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 12.10, and that Bank and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.10.

     12.11 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between Borrowers and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

Reaffirmation of Unconditional Secured Guaranty

          This Reaffirmation of Unconditional Secured Guaranty is entered into as of April 20, 2009, by the undersigned (the “Guarantor”) in favor of SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Lender”).

          Whereas, Guarantor executed and delivered to Lender an Unconditional Secured Guaranty dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Guaranty”) with respect to the obligations of Financial Engines, Inc. and Financial Engines Reincorporation Sub, Inc. (together, “Borrowers”) under an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”) by and among Borrowers and Lender; and

          Whereas, Borrowers and Lender are amending the Existing Loan Agreement pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (“Second Amended Loan Agreement”) to, among other things, provide a term loan of up to $10,000,000 and extend the Revolving Line Maturity Date to April 19, 2010 (undefined terms herein shall have the meanings provided in the Second Amended Loan Agreement).

          Now therefore, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

          1. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Guarantor hereby ratifies and reaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty and agrees that none of the modifications to the Loan Agreement as set forth in the Second Amended Loan Agreement shall impair such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guaranty or Bank’s rights under its Guaranty.

          2. Continuing Effect and Absence of Defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that its Guaranty is still in full force and effect and that Guarantor has no defenses, other than actual payment of the guaranteed obligations, to enforcement of the Guaranty. Guarantor waives any and all defenses to enforcement of the Guaranty that might otherwise be available as a result of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement.
