AMENDMENT

TO

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into this 18th day of June 2010, by and between Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) and iWatt Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”) whose address is 101 Albright Way, Suite D, Los Gatos, California 95032.

RECITALS

A. Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 25, 2008 (as the same has been and may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).

B. Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.

C. Borrower has requested that Bank amend the Loan Agreement, as herein set forth, and Bank has agreed to the same, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

2.1 Removal of Term Loan Reserve. The $1,000,000 Term Loan Reserve established pursuant to Section 2.3 of that certain Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2009 is hereby removed as a Reserve under the Revolving Line.

2.2 Addition of Streamline Provision. Section 2.1.1(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

  “(b) Streamline Period.

 

  (i) Streamline Period Definition. A “Streamline Period” is any period during which: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and either (1)

 

-1-


  the principal amount of Obligations outstanding with respect to the Revolving Line is zero (the “Outstandings Requirement”) or (2) Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.15 to 1.0 (the “AQR Requirement”). For the purposes hereof, the term “Adjusted Quick Ratio” shall mean the ratio of (I) Borrower’s cash and Cash Equivalents plus net Accounts to (II) Borrower’s Current Liabilities minus Deferred Revenue plus long term debt owed to Bank.

 

  (ii) Streamline Period Provisions. During a Streamline Period, the following provisions shall apply:

 

  (A) Monthly Transaction Report. Within 30 days after the end of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Bank a transaction report signed by a Responsible Officer or other officer approved by Bank of Borrower on Bank’s standard form, together with aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable, and all other monthly reporting requirements set forth in this Agreement.

 

  (B) Changes to Reporting Requirements. Delivery to Bank of transaction reports, schedules and assignments of Accounts, and schedules of collections, as called for by Section 6.3(a) hereof (including Sections 6.2(a)(i) and 6.2(a)(ii)), will not be required, but rather shall be provided as set forth in subclause (ii)(A) above.

 

  (C) Proceeds of Accounts to be Deposited in Operating Account. During a Streamline Period, the payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts will be deposited into Borrower’s operating account without first being applied to the Obligations as provided for in Section 6.3(c) hereof.

 

-2-


  (D) Standard Terms and Conditions Apply. Upon the earliest to occur of (I) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents, or (II) a failure at any time to maintain the Outstandings Requirement (if such is the basis for the Streamline Period being in effect) or (III) a failure at any time to maintain the AQR Requirement (if such is the basis for the Streamline Period being in effect), all of the respective terms and conditions of this Agreement that have been modified by this Section 2.1.1(b) will immediately revert to the respective standard terms and conditions as provided for in this Agreement (without giving effect to this Section 2.1.1(b)), which standard terms will immediately go back into effect without any further action on the part of Bank or Borrower; provided, however, if following the cessation of a Streamline Period the Outstandings Requirement or AQR Requirement is thereafter satisfied for a period of at least one month (and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Borrower may elect to again put a Streamline Period into effect pursuant to the terms hereof by giving Bank at least 5 days prior written notice, specifying the date the Streamline Period is to begin.”

2.3 Modified Minimum Monthly Interest. The Minimum Monthly Interest set forth in Section 2.3(f) of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified from “$10,000” to “$3,500.”

2.4 Modified Float Charge. Section 2.3(g) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(g) Payment: Interest Computation: Float Charge. Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month. In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In addition, so long as any principal or interest with respect to any Credit Extension remains outstanding and Borrower is not in a Streamline Period, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to two (2) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on all Payments received by Bank. Said float charge is not included in interest for purposes of computing Minimum Monthly Interest (if any) under this Agreement. The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month. Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may charge Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.”

 

-3-


2.5 Modified Reporting. Section 6.2(a) (i) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

  “(i) a Transaction Report (and any schedules related thereto) as follows:

 

  (A)

If a Streamline Period is not in effect: twice a month (on the 15th of each month and on the last day of each month) and at the time of each request for an Advance; or

 

  (B) If a Streamline Period is in effect: monthly (within thirty (30) days after the end of the month) in accordance with Section 2.1.1(b) (ii)(A) hereof;”

2.6 Addition of Deferred Revenue Reporting. Subclause (D) of Section 6.2(a) (ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(D) a deferred revenue report of Borrower in form acceptable to Bank;”

2.7 Modified Collection of Accounts. Section 6.3(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(c) Collection of Accounts. Until payment in full in cash of all Advances and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and Bank’s obligations to make Advances and any other Credit Extensions relating to the Revolving Line have terminated (provided that Borrower’s obligation under this sentence shall not end at a time when any Event of

 

-4-


Default exists), Borrower shall be a party to a three party agreement (the “Lockbox Agreement”) with Bank and a lockbox provider (the “Lockbox Provider”). The Lockbox Agreement and Lockbox Provider shall be acceptable to Bank. Borrower shall use the lockbox address as the payment address on all invoices issued by Borrower and shall direct all its Account Debtors to remit their payments to the lockbox address. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide that the Lockbox Provider shall remit all collections received in the lockbox to Bank. Upon Bank’s receipt of such collections, Bank shall apply the same as follows:

 

  (i) If a Streamline Period is in effect, Bank shall deposit such proceeds into the operating account of Borrower at Bank that is designated by Borrower; and

 

  (ii) If a Streamline Period is not in effect, Bank shall apply such proceeds to the outstanding Advances, and if all outstanding Advances have been paid in full, Bank shall deposit the remainder into the operating account of Borrower at Bank that is designated by Borrower; and

 

  (iii) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without limiting Bank’s other rights and remedies, Bank shall have the right to apply such proceeds pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof.

It is understood and agreed by Borrower that this Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than transfer or apply funds as required by this Section. Without limitation on the foregoing, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts that Borrower receives, in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 9.4 hereof.”

 

-5-


2.8 Modified Financial Covenants. Section 6.9 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

6.9 Financial Covenants.

Borrower shall maintain at all times, to be tested as of the last day of each month, unless otherwise noted, on a consolidated basis, the following:

(a) Tangible Net Worth. A Tangible Net Worth of at least $1,000,000 (“Minimum Tangible Net Worth”) plus (i) 50% of all cash consideration received after the date hereof for equity securities and subordinated debt of the Borrower, plus (ii) 50% of the Borrower’s net income in each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2010. Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth based on consideration received for equity securities and subordinated debt of the Borrower shall be effective as of the last day of the month in which such consideration is received, and shall continue effective thereafter. Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth based on net income shall be effective on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which said net income is realized, and shall continue effective thereafter. In no event shall the Minimum Tangible Net Worth be decreased.

The parties hereto agree that to the extent that any debt evidenced by a promissory note has already been considered as subordinated debt for purposes of a step-up in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth per the above requirements and that is then subsequently converted into equity securities of Borrower, such debt will be excluded from an additional step-up in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth as provided for in subclause (i) above.”

2.9 Modified Registration of Intellectual Property Rights. Subclause (b) of Section 6.10 of the Loan Agreement that currently reads as follows:

“(b) If Borrower (i) obtains any patent, registered trademark, registered copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any patent or the registration of any trademark, then Borrower shall promptly provide Bank with written notice thereof (and, in any event, provide such notice to Bank no later than fifteen days following the occurrence thereof) and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements

 

-6-


and other documents and take such other actions as Bank shall request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in such property. If Borrower decides to register any copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Borrower’s intent to register such copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office. Borrower shall promptly provide to Bank copies of all applications that it files for Patents or for the registration of trademarks, copyrights or mask works, together with evidence of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement necessary for Bank to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in such property.”

“12.1 Termination Prior to Revolving Line Maturity Date. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank.

-7-


Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any obligations arising under any warrants issued by Borrower to Bank). If such termination is at Borrower’s election or at Bank’s election due to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or if any of the Obligations become due and payable as the result of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, becoming due and payable as the result of an Insolvency Proceeding), Borrower shall pay to Bank, in addition to the payment of any other expenses or fees then-owing, a termination fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Maximum Dollar Amount; provided that no termination fee shall be charged if the credit facility hereunder is replaced with a new facility from another division of Silicon Valley Bank.”

2.12 Added Definition of Current Liabilities. The following definition of “Current Liabilities” is hereby added to Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement, in alphabetical order, and shall read as follows:

“ ‘Current Liabilities’ are all obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank, plus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of Borrower’s Total Liabilities that mature within one (1) year.”
