The proceeds of the Equipment Advances shall be used solely to reimburse Borrower for the purchase of Eligible Equipment purchased within ninety (90) days (determined based upon the applicable invoice date of such Eligible Equipment) of the Equipment Advance and to purchase Eligible Equipment; provided, however, that with respect to the first Equipment Advance only, the proceeds of the first Equipment Advance may be used to reimburse Borrower for the purchase of Eligible Equipment purchased on or after October 1, 2005 (determined based upon the applicable invoice date of such Eligible Equipment). No Equipment Advance may exceed 100% of the total invoice for (a) Eligible Equipment plus (b) Other Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed to by Lenders, not more than 30% of the proceeds of the Equipment Line or each Equipment Advance shall be used to finance Other Equipment. Borrower may only request one Equipment Advance per calendar month hereunder. Each Equipment Advance, other than the final Equipment Advance, must be in an amount equal to at least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). When repaid, the Equipment Advances may not be re-borrowed.

All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Equipment Advance. An Equipment Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(e) and 2.1.1(f).
(c) Final Payment. On the earlier of (i) the final Payment Date with respect to each Equipment Advance, or (ii) the termination of the Equipment Line, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due on such date with respect to such Equipment Advance, an amount equal to the Final Payment.
(d) Prepayment Upon an Event of Loss. Borrower shall bear the risk of any loss, theft, destruction, or damage of or to the Financed Equipment. If during the term of this Agreement any item of Financed Equipment becomes obsolete or is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason for a period equal to at least the remainder of the term of this Agreement (an Event of Loss), then if no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, within thirty (30) days following the Event of Loss, at Borrowers option, Borrower shall (i) pay to Lenders, with respect to the Financed Equipment subject to the Event of Loss, all outstanding principal, all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the prepayment, the Prepayment Fee and the Final Payment; or (ii) repair or replace any Financed Equipment subject to the Event of Loss provided the repaired or replaced Financed Equipment is of equal or like value to the Financed Equipment subject to the Event of Loss and provided further that Lenders have a first priority perfected security interest in such repaired or replaced Financed Equipment.

If the Equipment Advances are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the Final Payment for each Equipment Advance, (iii) the Prepayment Fee, and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
(f) Permitted Prepayment of Equipment Advances. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Equipment Advances advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Lenders of its election to prepay the Equipment Advances at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, (B) the Final Payment for each Equipment Advance, (C) the Prepayment Fee, and (D)all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

5. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and any Subsidiary are duly existing and in good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrowers business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to each Lender a completed certificate substantially in the form provided by Lenders and signed by Borrower, entitled Perfection Certificate. Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders that (a) Borrowers 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 Borrowers organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the

If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Lenders of such occurrence and provide Lenders with Borrowers organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrowers 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 it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrowers business.
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.

All Financed Equipment is new (or, as applicable, was new when purchased by Borrower so long as it meets the requirements of Section 2.1.1(a)), except for such Financed Equipment that has been disclosed in writing to Lenders by Borrower as used and that Lenders, in their sole discretion, have agreed to finance.
The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except 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 or as Borrower has given Lenders notice pursuant to Section 7.2. 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 Lenders and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders in their sole discretion.

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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers business.

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.

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.

5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to either Lender, as of the date such representations, warranties, or other statements were made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to such Lender, 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 Lenders 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).

Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable. During the cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);

Grace periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in subsection (a) above;
8.3 Intentionally omitted.
8.4 Attachment.(a) Any material portion of Borrowers assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in ten (10) days; (b) the service of process upon any Lender seeking to attach, by trustee or similar process, any funds of Borrower or of any entity under control of Borrower (including a Subsidiary) on deposit with any Lender; (c) Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its business; (d) a judgment or other claim in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) becomes a Lien on any of Borrowers assets; or (e) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrowers assets by any government agency and not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during the cure period);
8.5 Insolvency. Borrower is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due or otherwise becomes insolvent; (b) Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the conditions described in clause (a) exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);
13
8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default in any agreement (and any applicable cure or grace period has expired) of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in: (i) a failure to pay at maturity, or (ii) such third party or parties accelerating the Indebtedness or exercising remedies. There is a default under the Horizon Facility (and any applicable cure or grace period has expired) resulting in: (i) a failure to pay at maturity, or (ii) such lenders accelerating the Indebtedness or exercising remedies. There is a default in any agreement (and any applicable cure or grace period has expired) which results in a material adverse effect on Borrowers business;
8.7 Judgments. A judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (not covered by independent third-party insurance) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of ten (10) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment);
8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to either Lender or to induce Lenders to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;
8.9 Intentionally omitted.
8.10 Continued Investor Support. Lenders determine, in their good faith business judgment, that it is the intention of Borrowers investors to not continue to fund Borrower in the amounts and timeframe necessary to enable Borrower to satisfy the Obligations as they become due and payable; or
8.11 Priority of Security Interest. There is a material impairment in the priority of Lenders security interest in the Collateral.
9. | LENDERS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES |
9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Lenders 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 Lenders);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and either Lender;
14
(c) only to the extent the following constitute Collateral hereunder, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lenders consider advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lenders 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 the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Lenders request and make it available as Lenders designate. Lenders 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 each Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lenders rights or remedies;
(e) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by a Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lenders are 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 Lenders exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrowers rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lenders benefit;
(g) place a hold on any account maintained with either Lender 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;
(h) demand and receive possession of Borrowers Books; and
(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lenders 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. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrowers name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) only to the extent the following constitute Collateral hereunder, sign Borrowers name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) only to the extent the following constitute Collateral hereunder, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms such Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers 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 such Lender or a
15
third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrowers name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Lenders foregoing appointment as Borrowers attorney in fact, and all of such Lenders rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Accounts Verification; Collection. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lenders security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Lenders, and, if requested by Lenders, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Lenders, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lenders may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lenders are Lenders Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Lenders will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Lenders obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lenders are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lenders waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders shall apply any funds in their possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any disposition of the Collateral, first, to Lenders Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys fees incurred by Lenders in the exercise of their 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 Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lenders for any deficiency. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders may apply any funds in their possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lenders for any deficiency. If Lenders, in their good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lenders 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 Lenders of cash therefor.
16
9.6 Lenders Liability for Collateral. So long as Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lenders, Lenders 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. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lenders failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lenders thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Lenders and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lenders rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lenders exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lenders waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lenders delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.8 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 Lenders on which Borrower is 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. Borrower and Lenders 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 Lenders 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 Lenders. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and 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. 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 Borrower 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, BORROWER AND LENDERS 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 THE 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
18
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.
