The Preferred Stock Warrant shall be immediately vested and exercisable at any time and from time to time through March 31, 2013. The foregoing exercise price per share and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Stock Warrant shall also be subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Preferred Stock Warrant shall include piggyback and S-3 registration rights, anti-dilution protections reasonably satisfactory to Lender and equivalent to those rights and protections granted to the holders of the series of preferred stock for which the Preferred Stock Warrant is exercisable, and shall remain exercisable beyond any public offering of Borrower’s securities or merger transaction.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has assigned its rights to receive the Preferred Stock Warrant to its parent, Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC; in connection therewith, Borrower shall issue the Preferred Stock Warrant directly to Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC.

If this condition is not satisfied, Lender shall refund to Borrower the Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) commitment fee previously paid to Lender on account of the Additional Growth Capital Loan Commitment, the Additional Equipment Loan Commitment and

Additional Soft Cost Loan Commitment. Lender agrees that with respect to each Additional Growth Capital Loan, Additional Equipment Loan and Additional Soft Cost Loan advanced, on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loan, Lender shall credit against the payments due from Borrower on such date in respect of such Loan an amount equal to the product of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) and a fraction the numerator of which is the principal amount of such Loan and the denominator of which is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), until the aggregate amount of such credits equals but does not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00).

(j) A new Section 13 is added to Part 2 of the Supplement, immediately after Section 12, as follows:

13. Collateralization of Corporate Credit Card Account.

Lender further agrees that: (i) Borrower’s obligations to Bank under such corporate card program, not to exceed $50,000 in aggregate amount outstanding at any time, shall be permitted Indebtedness for all purposes of the Loan and Security Agreement; and (ii) the Liens in favor of Bank on the Credit Card Cash Collateral (hereinafter defined), securing the Indebtedness described in the preceding clause (i) shall be Permitted Liens for all purposes of the Loan and Security Agreement. “Credit Card Cash Collateral” means a certificate of deposit or time deposit account maintained at Bank in the principal amount of approximately $50,000 pledged by Borrower to Bank to secure Borrower’s obligations to Bank under a corporate credit card program arranged by Bank for the account of Borrower.

(k) Exhibit A-1, the form of Promissory Note for Growth Capital Loans and Additional Growth Capital Loans, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by as “Exhibit A-1” attached to this Amendment.

(l) Exhibit A-2, the form of Promissory Note for Equipment Loans, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by as “Exhibit A-2” attached to this Amendment.

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 2004, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Supplement dated as of September , 2005, between Borrower and Lender (as the same have been and may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:

On the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay (i) if the Borrowing Date is not the first day of the month, interest only at a rate per month equal to 0.9166%, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the period from the Borrowing Date through [the last day of the same month]; (ii) interest at a rate per month equal to 0.9166%, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the month of [date of first regular interest only payment].

Commencing on the first day of the second full month after the Borrowing Date, and continuing on the first day of the third through the sixth full months after the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall make payments, in advance, of interest only at a rate per month equal to 0.9166% on the principal balance outstanding hereunder.

Commencing on the first day of the seventh full month after the Borrowing Date, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, principal and Basic Interest at the Designated Rate shall be payable, in advance, in twenty-four (24) equal consecutive installments of Dollars ($ ) each. The Terminal Payment and unpaid expenses, fees, interest and principal amount shall be due and payable on 200 .]

This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 5 of Part 2 of the Supplement to the Loan Agreement.

Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.

Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business Days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
