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. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document. Capitalized terms 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. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Advances hereunder with all interest, fees and finance charges due thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Financing of Accounts.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts and Placeholder Invoices. Bank shall finance such Eligible Accounts and Placeholder Invoices by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice (the “Advance”), Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice on a case by case basis. When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice becomes a “Financed Receivable.”

(b) Maximum Advances.

(i) The aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount.

(ii) In addition, the aggregate amount of Advances made based upon Placeholder Invoices may not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of Advances made based on Placeholder Invoices may exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) but may not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) when Borrower has fulfilled and collected on at least Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) of purchase orders issued by each Eligible Purchase Order Customer.


(iii) The aggregate amount of Advances made hereunder plus any loans, advances, or other amounts outstanding pursuant to the Revolving Line shall not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00).

(c) Borrowing Procedure. Borrower will deliver an Invoice Transmittal for each Eligible Account it offers. Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Invoice Transmittal.

(d) Credit Quality, Confirmations. Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check of the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing hereunder in order to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit before agreeing to finance such Account. Bank may also verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts (including confirmations of Borrower’s representations in Section 5.3) by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank from time to time in its sole discretion.

(e) Accounts Notification/Collection. Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the amount of the Account.

(f) Maturity. This Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(g) Suspension of Advances. Borrower’s ability to request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations.

2.2 Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Unpaid fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest and fees as described in Section 9.2 hereof.

2.2.1 Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of Default then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section 2.2.6.

2.2.2 Facility Fee. A non-refundable facility fee of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) is earned upon execution of this Agreement and shall be paid as follows: (i) Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) has been paid prior to the date of this Agreement as a good faith deposit, which amount shall be applied to the Facility Fee upon execution of this Agreement; (ii) Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) is due and payable upon the execution of this Agreement; and (iii) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) is due and payable on the sooner to occur of (x) an Event of Default, (y) the early termination of this Agreement, or (z) June 30, 2005.

2.2.3 Finance Charges. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on each Financed Receivable which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable. The Finance Charge is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is payable in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.

2.2.4 Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges and the Facility Fee. If Borrower docs not object to the accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it shall be considered accurate. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees arc calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.

2.2.5 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to Section 2.3, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.

2.2.6 Lockbox; Account Collection Services. As and when directed by Bank from time to time, at Bank’s option and at the sole and exclusive discretion of Bank (regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred), Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively, the “Lockbox”). It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not set-up and operational within forty-five (45) days from the date of such direction by Bank. Until such Lockbox is established, the proceeds of the Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address consented to by Bank. Upon receipt by Borrower of such proceeds, the Borrower shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal. Provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days of receipt of such amounts by Bank, Bank will turn over to Borrower the proceeds of the Accounts other than Collections with respect to Financed Receivables and the amount of Collections in excess of the amounts for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower, less any amounts due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, the Facility Fee, payments due to Bank, other fees and expenses, or otherwise; provided, however, Bank may hold such excess amount with respect to Financed Receivables as a reserve until the end of the applicable Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that other Financed Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account at any time prior to the end of the subject Reconciliation Period. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein. All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank may apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the Obligations.

2.3 Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments.

2.3.1 Repayment of Advances Made Based on Eligible Accounts. Borrower will repay each Advance made based on Eligible Accounts on the earliest of: (a) the date on which payment is received of the Financed Receivable with respect to which the Advance was made, (b) the date on which the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account, (c) the date on which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but only to the extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable remains otherwise an Eligible Account), (d) the date on which there is a breach of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 5.3, or (e) the Maturity Date (including any early termination). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

2.3.2 Repayment of Advanced Made Based on Placeholder Invoices. Borrower will repay each Advance made based on Placeholder Invoices on the earliest of (a) Borrower’s issuance of an invoice based upon such purchase order, (b) at such time when any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.4 are not then true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Placeholder Invoice, (c) 120 days from the date of the Advance made based upon the Placeholder Invoice, or (d) the Maturity Date (including any early termination). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

2.3.3 Placeholder Invoices. When an invoice for a Placeholder Invoice is issued and the Account established by such invoice is an Eligible Account then, provided there is no existing Event of Default and subject to the terms of Section 2.1.1 hereof, the Advance made based upon such Placeholder Invoice shall be replaced by an Advance made based upon such Eligible Account.

2.3.4 Repayment on Event of Default. When there is an Event of Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.5, immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the Advances. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include the Advance for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.

2.3.5 Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

2.3.6 Adjustments. If at any time during the term of this Agreement any Account Debtor asserts an Adjustment or if Borrower issues a credit memorandum or if any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 5.3 are no longer true in all material respects, Borrower will promptly advise Bank.

2.3.7 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay any Advance at any time without premium or penalty, by paying all outstanding principal on such Advance along with all accrued and unpaid Finance Charges with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder in respect of such Advance. Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time, without premium or penalty, upon notice to Bank, provided that all outstanding Advances along with all accrued and unpaid Finance Charges with respect thereto and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder shall have been paid in full as of the date of termination.

2.4 Power of Attorney.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing security interest in, and pledges and assigns to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower warrants and represents that the security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license (other than over the counter software that is commercially available to the public) or other material agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall provide written notice to Bank within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, authorization by or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future.

If the Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. If Borrower shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief 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 satisfactory to Bank.

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, which financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion and may also include a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank under the Code.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower 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; and (b) Borrower is an organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief

If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify Bank of such organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by the proper corporate action required by Borrower, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower has no deposit account, other than the deposit accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, except as provided in Section 6.5(b). The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) (not including customers of Borrower). Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing by Borrower, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate (except Collateral may be maintained at customer locations in the ordinary course of business). Borrower may maintain Inventory and Equipment with third parties provided that (i) the value of such Inventory and Equipment does not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) at any time (not including Inventory and Equipment at customer locations), and (ii) Borrower provides Bank, within thirty (30) days of the end of each quarter, a written summary of the location of such Inventory and Equipment (not including Inventory and Equipment at customer locations). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee (not including Inventory and Equipment at customer locations), then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower is the sole owner of all material Intellectual Property, except for Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower in the ordinary course of business and non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and 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 cause a Material Adverse Change.

(b) Borrower is the owner with legal right to sell, transfer, assign and encumber such Financed Receivable;

(c) The correct amount is on the Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed;

(g) Borrower reasonably believes no Account Debtor is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency Proceedings;

(h) Borrower has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not anticipate any filing;

(i) Bank has the right to endorse and/ or require Borrower to endorse all payments received on Financed Receivables and all proceeds of Collateral; and

(j) No representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in the certificates or statement not misleading.

5.4 Representations regarding Placeholder Invoices. With respect to Placeholder Invoices, Borrower represents and warrants that the estimated face value amount determined by Borrower is based upon the best information available to Borrower and accurately and fully (considering all known discounts available to each such Account Debtor) reflects same and that a receivable will be generated within 120 days of the issuance of such purchase order. In addition, Borrower represents and warrants that there are no discounts, offsets or other rights of any Account Debtor under any Placeholder Invoice other than as disclosed to Bank at the time such Placeholder Invoice was financed hereunder.

5.5 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.6 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary 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.

Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s 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 Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations

 

8


of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted except where the failure to obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

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

5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (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.

6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Borrower shall do all of the following:

6.1 Government Compliance. Borrower shall maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that the first such audit will be conducted within ninety (90) days after the execution of this Agreement. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may audit Borrower’s Collateral, including, but not limited to, Borrower’s Accounts and accounts receivable at Borrower’s expense and at Bank’s sole and exclusive discretion and without notification and authorization from Borrower.

6.4 Insurance. Borrower shall keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts that are generally commensurate with companies of similar size and in the similar industry, and as Bank may reasonably request.

6.5 Accounts.

(a) In order to permit Bank to monitor Borrower’s financial performance and condition, Borrower, and all Borrower’s Subsidiaries, shall maintain Borrower’s, and such Subsidiaries, primary operating accounts with Bank. Upon the occurrence of an IPO Event, Borrower and all Borrower’s Subsidiaries shall maintain operating and securities accounts with Bank, which accounts shall represent at least twenty-five percent (25.0%) of the dollar value of the Borrower’s and such Subsidiaries’ accounts at all financial institutions.

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

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

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral.

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. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

 

14


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

(h) Exercise all rights and remedies and dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Bank Expenses; Unpaid Fees. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein shall constitute Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default. In addition, any amounts advanced hereunder which are not based on Financed Receivables (including, without limitation, unpaid fees and Finance Charges as described in Section 2.2) shall accrue interest at the Default Rate and be secured by the Collateral.

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 is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.5 Demand Waiver. 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 Borrower is liable.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

(OPERATING LINE OF CREDIT)

This DEFAULT WAIVER AND FOURTH AMENDMENT to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into this 22nd day of August, 2006, by and between Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) and Infinera Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) whose address is 1322 Bordeaux Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089.

RECITALS

A. Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 29, 2004, as amended by that certain First Loan Modification Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of June 21, 2005, by that certain Second Loan Modification Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of November 9, 2005 and as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of June 21, 2006 (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”). Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.

B. Borrower is currently in default of the Loan Agreement for failing to comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), 6.2(g) and 6.2(i) of the Loan Agreement (collectively the “Existing Defaults”).

C. Borrower has requested that Bank waive its rights and remedies against Borrower, limited specifically to the Existing Defaults. Although Bank is under no obligation to do so, Bank is willing to not exercise its rights and remedies against Borrower related to the specific Existing Defaults on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, so long as Borrower complies with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

D. Borrower has further requested that Bank amend the Loan Agreement to (1) extend the delivery date of the Borrower’s audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, (2) extend the maturity date and (3) make certain other revisions to the Loan Agreement as more fully set forth herein. Bank has agreed to so amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below.

1


2. Waiver of Covenant Defaults.

Bank hereby waives Borrower’s existing defaults under Sections 6.2(a)(ii), 6.2(g) and 6.2(i) of the Loan Agreement by virtue of Borrower’s failure to provide Bank its (i) audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 as of month ended June 30, 2006, (ii) aged listing of inventory for the months ended January 31, 2006, February 28, 2006, March 31, 2006, April 30, 2006, May 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 and (iii) backlog/pipeline report in the form acceptable to Bank for the month ended July 31, 2006. Bank’s waiver of Borrower’s compliance of these covenants shall apply only to the foregoing period. Accordingly, hereinafter, Borrower shall be in compliance with these covenants, as amended herein.

Bank’s agreement to waive the above-described defaults (1) in no way shall be deemed an agreement by the Bank to waive Borrower’s compliance with the above-described covenant as of all other dates and (2) shall not limit or impair the Bank’s right to demand strict performance of this covenant as of all other dates and (3) shall not limit or impair the Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other covenants as of any date.

(g) Intentionally omitted;

(i) Upon Bank’s request, a backlog/pipeline report in a form acceptable to the Bank.

3.3 Section 13 (Definitions). The following term and its respective definition set forth in Section 13.1 is amended in its entirety and replaced with the following:

4. Limitation of Amendments.

4.1 The amendments set forth in Section 3, above, are effective for the purposes set forth herein and shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or condition of any Loan Document, or (b) otherwise prejudice any right or remedy which Bank may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with any Loan Document.

4.2 This Amendment shall be construed in connection with and as part of the Loan Documents and all terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents, except as herein amended, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses, actions and causes of action, of every type, kind, nature, description or character whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to facts, circumstances, issues, controversies or claims existing or arising from the beginning of time through and including the date of execution of this Amendment (collectively “Released Claims”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Claims shall include any and all liabilities or claims arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to the Loan Documents, the Recitals hereto, any instruments, agreements or documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing or the origination, negotiation, administration, servicing and/or enforcement of any of the foregoing.

7.2 In furtherance of this release, Borrower expressly acknowledges and waives any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” (Emphasis added.)

7.5 Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank, and Bank is relying thereon, as follows:

(a) Except as expressly stated in this Amendment, neither Bank nor any agent, employee or representative of Bank has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Amendment.

(b) Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Amendment and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary.

(c) The terms of this Amendment are contractual and not a mere recital.

(d) This Amendment has been carefully read by Borrower, the contents hereof are known and understood by Borrower, and this Amendment is signed freely, and without duress, by Borrower.

 

4

Borrower shall indemnify Bank, defend and hold it harmless from and against all claims based upon or arising in connection with prior assignments or purported assignments or transfers of any claims or matters released herein.

(OPERATING LINE OF CREDIT)

This Fifth Loan Modification Agreement (this “Loan Modification Agreement”) is entered into as of October 6_, 2006, by and between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank, with its principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 (“Bank”) and INFINERA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with its chief executive office located at 1322 Bordeaux Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089 (“Borrower”).

1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS. Among other indebtedness and obligations which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to the Bank pursuant to a loan arrangement dated as of December 29, 2004, evidenced by, among other documents, a certain Loan and Security Agreement (Operating Line of Credit) dated as of December 29, 2004, between Borrower and the Bank, as amended by that certain First Loan Modification Agreement dated as of June 21, 2005, as amended by that certain Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of November 9,2005, as amended by that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 21, 2006, and as further amended by that certain Default Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 22, 2006 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.

2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Obligations is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement (together with any other collateral security granted to Bank, including, without limitation, a certain Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of December 29, 2004, between Borrower and Bank (the “IP Security Agreement”), 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”.

3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

 

  A. Modifications to Loan Agreement.

 

  1. The Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the following appearing as Section 2.1.1(a) thereof:

“(a) Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts and Placeholder Invoices. Bank shall finance such Eligible Accounts and Placeholder Invoices by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice (the “Advance”). Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice on a case by case basis. When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account or Placeholder Invoice becomes a “Financed Receivable.”

and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“(a) Availability.

(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long as Borrower is not Borrowing Base Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts. Bank shall finance such Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case basis.

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is Borrowing Base Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts on an aggregate basis. Bank shall finance Eligible Accounts on an aggregate basis by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the aggregate face amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (as determined by Bank) (the “Borrowing Base Eligible Accounts”). Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for the Borrowing Base Eligible Accounts on a case by case basis.

(iii) Any Credit Extension made pursuant to the terms of subsection (i) or (ii) above shall be hereinafter referred to as an “Advance.” When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account or the Borrowing Base Eligible Accounts each become a separate “Financed Receivable.”

 

  2. The Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the following appearing as Section 2.1.1(b) thereof:

“(b) Maximum Advances.

(i) The aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount.

(ii) In addition, the aggregate amount of (A) Advances made based upon Placeholder Invoices, plus (B) the Term Loan, may not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of (A) Advances made based upon Placeholder Invoices, plus (B) the Term Loan, may exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) but may not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) when Borrower has fulfilled and collected on at least Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) of purchase orders issued by each Eligible Purchase Order Customer.

(iii) The aggregate amount of Advances made hereunder plus any loans, advances, or other amounts outstanding pursuant to the Revolving Line, and the Term Loan, shall not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00).”

and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


“(b) Maximum Advances: Aggregate Cap.

(i) The aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount.

(ii) The aggregate amount of Advances made hereunder, plus any loans, advances, or other amounts outstanding pursuant to the Revolving Line, shall not exceed Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00). If, at any time, the aggregate amount of Advances made hereunder, plus any loans, advances, or other amounts outstanding pursuant to the Revolving Line, exceeds Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00), then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess amount, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.”

 

  3. The Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the following appearing as Section 2.1.1(c) thereof:

  4. The Loan Agreement shall be amended by adding the following new Section to appear therein as Section 2.1.1(h):

“(h) End of Borrowing Base Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower ceases to be Borrowing Base Facility Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on Borrowing Base Eligible Accounts shall be refinanced by Bank as new Advances made based on specific Eligible Accounts. In connection with same, Borrower shall deliver to Bank an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C containing detailed invoice reporting, signed by a Responsible Officer together with a current accounts receivable aging and a copy of each invoice, all in accordance with Section 6.2(k) hereof and Bank shall finance same (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and each Eligible Account financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations relating to Advances made based on Borrowing Base Eligible Accounts exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based


on specific Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.”

and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

2.2.1 Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of Default then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section 2.2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 2.2.6, when Borrower is Borrowing Base Facility Eligible, Bank will not credit Collections to the Financed Receivable Balance for any Financed Receivables, but will instead remit the proceeds of all Collections to an operating account of Borrower maintained with Bank.”
