(b)           Prepayment after Twelve Months of Amortization.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), so long as no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, at any time after Borrower has made at least twelve (12) consecutive payments of principal and interest with respect to all Loans, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, Loans in whole but not in part, by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such Loans in an amount equal to the sum of:  (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans as of the date of prepayment; (ii) all outstanding principal balances of such Loans as of the date of prepayment; and (iii) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of all interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment through the stated date of maturity of the Loans had they remained outstanding and been paid in accordance with the terms of the related Notes, in each case, as such amounts are determined by Lender.  Borrower agrees that its right to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall not apply in connection with a Liquidity Event or at any time thereafter.

(c)           Prepayment after Eighteen Months of Amortization.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), so long as no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, at any time after Borrower has made at least eighteen (18) consecutive payments of principal and interest with respect to all Loans, Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, Loans in whole but not in part, by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such Loans in an amount equal to the sum of:  (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans as of the date of prepayment; (ii) all outstanding principal balances of such Loans as of the date of prepayment; and (iii) an amount equal to seventy five percent (75%) of all interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment through the stated date of maturity of the Loans had they remained outstanding and been paid in accordance with the terms of the related Notes, in each case, as such amounts are determined by Lender.  Borrower agrees that its right to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not apply in connection with a Liquidity Event or at any time thereafter.

(d)           Prepayment if Lender Fails or Refuses to Fund a Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), if prior to the Termination Date Borrower satisfies all of the conditions precedent with respect to the funding of a Loan and Lender fails or refuses to make such Loan then Borrower may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, outstanding Loans in whole, but not in part, at any time from the date of such failure or refusal up to the date which is sixty (60) days thereafter by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding Loans as of the date of prepayment; and (ii) all outstanding principal balances of such outstanding Loans as of the date of prepayment, in each case, as such amounts are reasonably determined by Lender.
 
 
 

 
 
5.           Issuance of Warrant.  As additional consideration for the making of the Commitment, Lender has earned and is entitled to receive immediately upon the execution of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, a warrant instrument issued by Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto (the “Warrant”).  Borrower acknowledges that Lender has assigned its rights to receive the Warrant to its parent, Venture Lending & Leasing V, LLC, and in connection therewith, Borrower shall issue the Warrant directly to Venture Lending & Leasing V, LLC.  Lender shall furnish to Borrower a copy of the agreement in which Lender has assigned such Warrant to its parent.
