Each Advance shall be available upon prior written request by Borrower to Lender in accordance with Section 2.2, but not earlier than the date set forth on Schedule I opposite such Advance. The last Advance shall be made no later than the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including any extensions thereof. Once repaid, the Advances may not be reborrowed.

(b)    Maturity; Repayment. The Advances shall mature on the Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations hereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender (which may be waived by Lender), to repay any outstanding Advances without any prepayment premium or fee.

2.2    Procedure for Borrowing. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, each Advance shall be made upon ten (10) Business Day’s prior written notice. All Advances shall be made in United States Dollars and shall be made in same day or immediately available funds.

2.3    Payment of Interest on the Advances.

(a)    Computation of Interest. Interest on the Advances shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of such Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Advance.

(b)    Advances. Each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate of 1.5% per annum. Prior to any termination of the Merger Agreement, accrued interest will be added to the principal amount of the Advances on the last day of each calendar quarter. In the event of a termination of the Merger Agreement but subject to Article 6, following such termination, beginning on the last day of such month interest on each Advance shall be paid monthly in arrears. Subject to Article 6, all accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in United States Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 3:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. Any payments hereunder (including any prepayment of any Advance pursuant to this Agreement) shall be applied first to payment of accrued interest and second to repayment of the then-outstanding principal amount of Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

2.5    Loan Forgiveness; Merger Agreement Termination. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a willful and material breach by Lender, then the outstanding Advances shall be deemed

8.2    Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Lender. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.

8.3    Successors and Assigns.

8.4    Withholding.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and shall increase the sum payable as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender, or the assignee of Lender’s rights hereunder, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The Lender, or any assignee of Lender’s rights hereunder if applicable, shall upon reasonable request of Borrower furnish to Borrower IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8), as applicable, and such other tax forms and information that it is legally permitted to provide to Borrower as necessary for tax reporting or withholding requirements of Borrower.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.4(a), if Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and such assignment or transfer increases the amount of any tax required by applicable law to be deducted and withheld from any payment under this Agreement or any Loan Document, such assignee or transferee shall only be entitled to such amounts under Section 8.4(a) as Lender would have been entitled to had such assignment or transfer not occurred.

8.5    Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of Borrower to Lender (including, without limitation, the Obligations), any amount owing from Lender to Borrower. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by Lender against Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by Lender prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

8.6    No Third Party Rights. Except for Senior Lender’s rights to rely on the terms of subordination set forth on Schedule II, nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and thereto and their permitted successors and assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

8.7    Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction, shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.8    Governing Law. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to conflicts of law rules.

8

8.9    Forum. The parties agree and consent to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any federal or state court within the County of Alameda, California for the purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter agreement.

8.10    Construction. Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by, Borrower, Lender and their respective counsel. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against Borrower or Lender.

8.11    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement of Borrower and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereby and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications among the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.

8.12    Registered Form. Borrower shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any assignee of any of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document (the “Register”). Upon written notice of any assignment of a Lender’s rights hereunder or under any Loan Document, Borrower shall promptly record such transfer in the Register, including the name(s) and address(es) of the transferee(s) as provided by the Lender. No transfer shall be effective unless and until such transfer has been so registered. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Lender and any applicable assignee of Lender’s rights, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
