(PFG), whose address is 150 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94111 and the borrower(s) named above (jointly and severally, Borrower), whose chief executive office is located at the above address (Borrowers Address). The Schedule to this Agreement (the Schedule) being signed by the parties concurrently, is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)
1. | LOANS. |
1.1 Loans. PFG will make loans to Borrower designated Facility A and Facility B (the Loans) up to the amounts shown in Section 1 of the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
1.2 Interest. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations that are not Non-Overdue Monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the rates shown in the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month. Interest may, in PFGs discretion, be charged to Borrowers loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the other Loans.
1.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay PFG the fees shown in the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to PFG and are not refundable.
1.4 Loan Requests. To obtain a Loan, Borrower shall make a Loan Request that constitutes a Qualifying Request to PFG by electronic mail compliant with Section 9.6. Loan Requests are not deemed made until PFG acknowledges receipt of a Qualifying Request by electronic mail or otherwise in writing. PFGs obligation to consider a Loan Request shall be subject to its receipt of such reports, certificates and other information as may be set forth in the Schedule. Borrower shall provide PFG at least three (3) Business Days advance notice of Loan Requests under Facility A. PFG will use reasonable commercial efforts to expedite funding of Qualifying Requests under Facility A if so requested by Borrower. Loan Requests received after 12:00 Noon Pacific time will not be deemed to have been received by PFG until the next Business Day. PFG may rely on any telephone request for a Loan given by a person whom PFG believes in good faith is an authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify PFG for any loss PFG suffers as a result of such reliance.
1.5 Late Fee. If any payment of accrued interest for any month is not made within three Business Days after the later of the date a bill therefor is sent by PFG or three Business Days after the due date therefor, or if any payment of principal or any other payment is not made within three Business Days after the date due, then Borrower shall pay PFG a late payment fee equal to 5% of the amount of such late payment in the first two instances of late payment and 10% of the amount of each future late payment occurring thereafter. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as PFGs consent to Borrowers failure to pay any amounts when due, and PFGs acceptance of any such late payments shall not restrict PFGs exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure.
2. | SECURITY INTEREST. |
2.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to PFG a continuing security interest in, and pledges to PFG, all of the following (collectively, the Collateral): all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property, provided, however, that the foregoing grant of the security interest in Intellectual Property shall become effective upon the first borrowing made under this Agreement, as further set forth in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and Collateral Agreements and Notices in the form appended hereto as Exhibit E); all Investment Property; all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrowers books relating to any and all of the above. Borrower hereby authorizes PFG to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect PFGs interests or rights hereunder, which financing statements may show the Collateral as all assets of Debtor or words of similar effect, or as being of equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, and may include a notice that any disposition of Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of PFG under the Code, all in PFGs discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral shall not include Excluded Collateral.
3. | REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER. |
In order to induce PFG to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to PFG as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true and correct in all material respects, and that Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and thereafter until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:
3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and has and will have all Governmental Authorizations required to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors rights generally), (iii) do not violate Borrowers Constitutional Documents, or any Legal Requirement or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.
3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. As of the date hereof, the name of Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name, as set forth in its Constitutional Documents. Listed in the Representations are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrowers present and prior trade names as of the date hereof. Borrower shall give PFG 30 days prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, if applicable to Borrower.
3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. As of the date hereof, the address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrowers chief executive office. In addition, as of the date hereof, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations. Borrower will give PFG at least 30 days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrowers Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that Borrower may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $100,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.
(a) Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. PFG now has, and will continue to have, a First-Priority perfected and enforceable (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws applicable to creditors rights generally) security interest in all of the Collateral and Borrower will at all times defend PFG and the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrowers Deposit Accounts, and Borrower will give PFG five (5) Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to PFG (or to the Senior Lender and to PFG) a Control Agreement in form sufficient to perfect PFGs security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business judgment.
(c) In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall promptly notify PFG thereof in writing and provide PFG with such information regarding the same as PFG shall request (unless providing such information would waive the Borrowers attorney-client privilege). Such notification to PFG shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to PFG, and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as PFG shall request in connection therewith.
(d) Set forth in the Representations is every location where Collateral having a fair market value of $100,000 or more (in the aggregate as to each such location) is located (whether by being affixed to real property or otherwise). Whenever any Collateral having a fair market value, as to any one location, of $100,000 or more is located upon a premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall, whenever requested by PFG, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to PFG, in form acceptable to PFG, such waivers and subordinations as PFG shall specify in its good faith business judgment. Borrower will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise PFG in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 Books and Records. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrowers Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the future delivered to PFG have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly present in all material respects the results of operations and financial condition of Borrower, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to PFG and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed, and will timely file, all required Tax Returns, except for returns and reports for taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions in an aggregate amount not exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all Taxes now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however, defer payment of any of the foregoing which are contested by Borrower in good faith, provided that Borrower (i) contests the same by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies PFG in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the same from becoming a Lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrowers prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit 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 Body, except as could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has, to its Knowledge, complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrowers ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrowers business, and all environmental matters.
3.10 Litigation. There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to Borrowers Knowledge) threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower in any court or before any Governmental Body (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which could reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change. Borrower will promptly inform PFG in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened in writing or instituted against Borrower involving any single claim of $50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.
3.12 No Default. At the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no Default or Event of Default will have occurred after giving effect to any Loans being made concurrently herewith.

PFG shall have the right to conduct such disposition on Borrowers premises without charge, for such time or times as PFG deems reasonable, or on PFGs premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. PFG may directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting PFGs other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to PFG an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting PFG (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrowers expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrowers name or otherwise, but PFG agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that PFG may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain PFGs security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or PFG, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other Loan Documents; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Account, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanics, materialmans or other Lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanics, materialmans or other Lien; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into PFGs possession; (d) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by PFG; (e) Pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (g) Pay any sums required on account of Borrowers taxes or to secure the release of any Liens therefor, or both; (h) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give PFG the same rights of access and other rights with respect thereto as PFG has under this Agreement; (j) Execute on behalf of Borrower and file in Borrowers name such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the transfer of Domain Rights, domain names, domain registry administrative contacts and domain and website hosting services into the name of PFG or its designees, and (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys fees incurred by PFG with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall PFGs rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of PFGs other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that PFG is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by PFG first to the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys fees incurred by PFG 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, in such order as PFG shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to PFG for any deficiency. If, PFG, 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, PFG shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its good faith business judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by PFG of the cash therefor.
7.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, PFG shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between PFG and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by PFG of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar PFG from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of PFG to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

Neither PFG, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of PFG, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing PFG, but nothing herein shall relieve PFG from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.11 Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized officer of PFG.
9.12 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.13 Attorneys Fees and Costs. Borrower shall reimburse PFG for all reasonable attorneys fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by PFG, pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys fees and costs PFG incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present and future documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrowers books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce PFGs security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent PFG in any litigation relating to Borrower. If either PFG or Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys fees and costs to which PFG may be entitled pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrowers Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
9.14 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and PFG; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of PFG, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. No consent by PFG to any assignment shall release Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
9.15 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.16 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by one party against the other, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, incurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by a party, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by a party by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by (a) the filing of a complaint within one year after the earlier to occur of (i) the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated, and (b) the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of a party, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of such party, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Each party agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for it to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of the party against which a claim is proposed to be brought, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time within which PFG may bring a claim shall be tolled during the pendency of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings in respect of Borrower. This provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9.17 Loan Monitoring. At reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower, PFG shall have the right, during any period in which the Loans (or any portion thereof) have been drawn by Borrower and are outstanding or during which PFG has any obligation to lend to Borrower, to visit personally with Borrower up to four times per calendar year at its principal place of business or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, for the purpose of meeting with Borrowers management in order to remain as up-to-date with Borrowers business as is practicable and to maintain best practices in terms of lender loan monitoring and diligence. Reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including travel and lodging for up to two PFG staff for two of the four visits shall be at Borrowers expense and reimbursed in the same manner as other PFG expenses under this Agreement.
9.18 Correction of Loan Documents. PFG may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as PFG provides Borrowers with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) Business Days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both PFG and Borrower.
9.19 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and PFG acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against PFG or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise.
9.20 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of PFG and Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each of Borrower and PFG (i) agrees that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall, at PFGs option, be litigated in courts located within California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be San Francisco County; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights such party may have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such action or proceeding.
9.21 Multiple Borrowers; Suretyship Waivers.
(a) Borrowers Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower, as the agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative of all Borrowers for all purposes, including requesting disbursement of the Loan and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from PFG. PFG may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for a Loan, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by any Borrower, whether in its own name, as Borrowers agent, or on behalf of one or more Borrowers, and PFG shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers obligations hereunder be affected thereby.
(b) Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) any right to require PFG to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Borrower or any other Person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with PFG or any Indebtedness of PFG to any other Borrower, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy PFG may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, with respect to all or any part of the Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of PFG or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any other Person or any Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of PFG to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full, nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Obligations. If any claim is ever made upon PFG for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by PFG in payment of or on account of any of the Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and PFG repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over PFG or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by PFG with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Borrower), then and in any such event, Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, or any release of any of the Obligations, and the Borrower shall be and remain liable to PFG under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by PFG, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Borrower may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Borrower or other Person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Borrower may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine. Each Borrower further hereby waives any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to the Borrower by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855 (inclusive), 2899, and 3433, as now in effect or hereafter amended, and under all other similar statutes and rules now or hereafter in effect.
(c) Consents. Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Borrower and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of Borrower hereunder, PFG may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in PFGs sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Borrower or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Obligations, or on which PFG at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Borrowers or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of Borrower; (v) apply any sums received from any other Borrower, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to any Indebtedness whatsoever owing from such Person or secured by such Collateral or security, in such manner and order as PFG determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is part of the Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable. Borrower consents and agrees that PFG shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Borrower further consents and agrees that PFG shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PFG shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Obligations.
(d) Foreclosure of Trust Deeds. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that the Borrower may have because any other Borrowers Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) PFG may collect from the Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrower; and (2) If PFG forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by another Borrower: (A) The amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) PFG may collect from the Borrower even if PFG, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Borrower may have because any other Borrowers Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by PFG, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Borrowers rights of subrogation and reimbursement against another Borrower or any other Person by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(e) Independent Liability. Each Borrower hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Borrower, in the same action in which any other Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by PFG. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Borrower and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and Borrower is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of PFG with respect thereto. Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Borrowers financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as Borrower may desire, and Borrower is not relying upon or expecting PFG to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in PFGs possession concerning the same or any other matter.
(f) Subordination. All Indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by PFG to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.
9.22 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND PFG EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN PFG AND BORROWER, OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF PFG OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH PFG OR BORROWER, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. 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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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.

THIS SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (NOTE) AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO REGISTRATIONS THEREOF UNDER SUCH LAWS, OR (ii) IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATIONS.
THIS NOTE IS BEING ISSUED PURSUANT TO A LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT BETWEEN MAKER AND HOLDER DATED AS OF AUGUST 19, 2013 (THE LOAN AGREEMENT).
SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Mattersight Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Mattersight Europe Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation and Mattersight International Holding, Inc., an Illinois corporation (individually and collectively, jointly and severally, Maker), for value received, promises to pay to Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (Holder), so long as a Conversion Event has not occurred prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below), the principal sum of One Million Dollars (the Principal Amount) on [DATE 5 YRS FROM ISSUE DATE] or, if earlier, immediately upon Holder demand after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement that is continuing (the Maturity Date), as provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. This Note is one of up to two (2) Notes in like principal amount contemplated to be issued under the Loan Agreement, differing only as to issue date and Conversion Price. The terms of the Loan Agreement shall govern this Note and are incorporated by reference herein.
1. Payments.
(a) The interest rate payable hereunder shall be 9.75% per annum, fixed, payable monthly on the basis set forth in Section 2 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement; provided, however, if Maker meets or exceeds (1) Revenues of $32,000,000, and EBITDA of ($325,000) (numbers in parentheses denoting a negative number) for its 2013 fiscal year, as demonstrated by Makers Reports required under Section 6 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement, then the Interest Rate shall thereafter (from the date of such demonstrated compliance) be reduced to an annual rate of 8.75%. Any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note will be due and payable on the day that all principal is due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, by acceleration, at the time of a Conversion Event or otherwise.
(b) Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States in immediately available funds, and shall be credited first to accrued interest then due and payable with the remainder applied to principal. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the Maturity Date.
2. Ranking. This Note and all principal, interest and other amounts, if any, payable hereunder shall rank senior in right of payment to all other Maker Indebtedness, except as otherwise specified in the Loan Agreement.
3. Conversion.
(a) This Note may be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing the Principal Amount (excluding interest) of this Note by the greater of: (i) [the volume-weighted average price of Borrowers common stock over the ten (10) consecutive trading day period prior to the date on which a Note is issued to PFG (the 10-day VWAP), plus a 20% premium the 10-day VWAP][TO BE INSERTED ON ISSUE OF NOTE], and (ii) the Effective Price per share of securities issued in an Equity Financing (as each such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, the Conversion Price), subject to adjustment below, at any time upon the election of the Holder hereof by delivery of a Conversion Notice (a Conversion Event).
(b) As soon as practicable after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, Maker at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which Holder shall be entitled on such conversion. No fractional Conversion Stock shall be issued on conversion of the Note.
(c) From and after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, Maker shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of this Note and the other Note (if issued). Maker will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, dividend or other distribution of cash or property, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions hereof, and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of Holder as set forth herein against impairment.
4. Conversion Adjustments.
(a) Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 4.
(b) Subdivisions, Combinations and Stock Dividends. If Maker shall at any time subdivide by split-up or otherwise, its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or issue additional Common Stock as a dividend, bonus issue or otherwise with respect to any Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or share dividend or bonus issue shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of Maker shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
(c) Reclassification, Exchange, Substitutions, Etc. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received in exchange for the securities that would have been issued on conversion if this Note had been converted immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Maker or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a certificate setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exchange or exercise of this Note as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exchange or exercise of this Note. The certificate shall provide for adjustments (as determined in good faith by Makers Board of Directors) which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Conversion Price. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other similar events.
(d) Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that Maker shall:
(1) declare or propose to declare any dividend upon its Common Stock, whether payable in cash, property, stock or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend, or
(2) offer for sale any additional shares of any class or series of Makers stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such stock in any transaction that would give rise (regardless of waivers thereof) to pre-emptive rights of any class or series of stockholders, or
(3) effect or approve any reclassification, exchange, substitution or recapitalization of the capital stock of Maker, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding capital stock, or consolidation or merger of Maker with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up (including an assignment for the benefit of creditors), or
(4) offer holders of registration rights the opportunity to participate in any public offering of Makers securities,
then, in connection with such event, Maker shall give to Holder:
(i) at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of Maker shall close or a record shall be taken for such a dividend or offer in respect of the matters referred to in (1) or (2) above, or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (3) above; and
(ii) in the case of the matters referred to in (3) above, at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (1) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, the date on which the holders of capital stock shall be entitled thereto and the terms of such dividend, and such notice in accordance with clause (2) shall also specify the date on which the holders of capital stock shall be entitled to exchange their capital stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, substitution, consolidation, merger or sale, as the case may be, and the terms of such exchange. Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Note at the address of Holder; and
(iii) in the case of the matter referred to in (4) above, the same notice as is given or required to be given to the holders of such registration rights.
(e) Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Maker, the provisions of this Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 4, except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 4(b) and then in no event to an amount larger than the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b).
(f) Officers Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is required to be adjusted as provided in Section 4, Maker shall forthwith file at Makers principal office with a copy to the Holder notice parties set forth in Section 7 hereof a statement, executed by a Responsible Officer of Maker, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that will be effective after such adjustment; provided, however, such statement shall not be required to the extent the information requested in this Section is available through Makers current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If at any time the information described in this Section 4 is readily available through Makers reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Maker shall not be required to provide a separate notice of adjustment to the Holder; provided, however, if such information is not readily available through Makers current reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission and made public, Maker shall cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record Holder of this Note at its notice address(es) appearing in Section 7.
(g) Issue of Securities other than Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 4, the Holder thereafter shall become entitled to receive any securities of Maker, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exchange of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 4.
5. Events of Default. An Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under this Note if an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (each, an Event of Default)

8. Costs and Expenses.

Maker hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument, except for notices to which Maker is expressly entitled under this Note.
9. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Maker and Holder and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Maker without the prior written consent of Holder.
10. Modifications and Amendments; Reissuance of Note. This Note may only be modified, amended, or terminated (other than by payment in full) by an agreement in writing signed by Maker and Holder.
