(“Borrower”), whose address is 11 Columbia, Suite A, Aliso Viejo, California 92656 provides the terms on which Lender will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS ACCOUNTING TERMS NOT DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED FOLLOWING GAAP. CALCULATIONS AND DETERMINATIONS MUST BE MADE FOLLOWING GAAP. THE TERM “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” INCLUDES THE NOTES AND SCHEDULES. THE TERMS “INCLUDING” AND “INCLUDES” ALWAYS MEAN “INCLUDING (OR INCLUDES) WITHOUT LIMITATION,” IN THIS OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Advances.

2.1.1 Lender shall fund an initial Advance of not less than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) on the Effective Date. During the Drawdown Period, the Lender will make additional Advances not exceeding Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000). Each additional Advance shall be for an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Amounts borrowed under this Section when repaid may not be reborrowed.

2.1.2 To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Lender by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Lender the Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Lender will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account designated in the Advance Form. Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Lender believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Lender for any loss Lender suffers due to such reliance.

2.1.3 The Committed Line terminates on the Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

2.2 Termination of Commitment to Lend. Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Line will terminate if, in Lender’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Lender prior to the execution of this Agreement.

2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.

2.3.1 Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate of eleven and one-half percent (11.50%). After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.3.2 Interest and Principal Payments. Interest due on the Committed Line is payable on the last Business Day of each month beginning December 31, 2006; provided that, at the option of the Borrower, 300 basis points of the accrued interest due on any Payment Date through April 30, 2008, may be deferred until the Maturity Date. If Borrower elects to defer interest in accordance with the preceding sentence, or if interest is not paid when due, such interest shall be added to the principal and shall accrue at the rate of eleven and one-half percent (11.50%) per annum commencing as of the date of deferral or nonpayment. The aggregate Advances outstanding on the expiration of the Drawdown Period, including the initial Advance of $6,000,000, shall be repaid in thirty (30) equal principal payments with the first installment due on May 30, 2008 and the last on October 31, 2010. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be 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 interest shall accrue.

2.3.3 Prepayment. At Borrower’s option, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay any outstanding principal amount under this Agreement upon five (5) days’ notice to Lender, without payment of any premium or penalty. Partial principal prepayments shall be applied to the principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. Such prepayments shall be accompanied by payment of the interest accrued with respect to the principal prepaid.

2.3.4 Place and Manner of Payments. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, at Lender’s address set forth in Section 10. Lender may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including Borrower’s account at Silicon Valley Bank for any amount due under this Agreement. Borrower will sign such ACH instructions as Lender requests to authorize such debits.

2.4 Fees. Borrower will pay:

2.4.1 Facility Fee. On the Effective Date, a fully earned, non-refundable Facility Fee of $100,000 for the Committed Line (Lender acknowledges that the Facility Fee was paid in conjunction with Borrower’s execution of Summary of Terms for the Committed Line); and

2.4.2 Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, are payable when due, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided, however, that such attorneys’ fees through the Effective Date shall not exceed $15,000.

(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants Lender a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.

4.2 Authorization of File. Borrower authorizes Lender to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Lender deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants on the date hereof and on the dates specified in Section 3.2(b) as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower has not changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation 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 or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens, or Borrower has Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Borrower has no other deposit account, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse), except for (i) Collateral held by customers for evaluation at customer sites, and (ii) Collateral located at contract manufacturers and similar companies as part of the manufacturing process, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral described in clauses (i) and (ii) does not exceed (A) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2007, and (B) five percent (5%) of Borrower’s revenues for the preceding fiscal year for each fiscal year commencing after December 31, 2007. If Borrower, after the Effective Date, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, other than those described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, then Borrower will notify Lender and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Lender. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for licenses permitted under this Agreement and granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, except to the extent that such invalidity or unenforceability could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, and 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 cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.3 Litigation. Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender.

5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.6 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not subject to regulation as an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or

assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.7 Investments in Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.8 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Lender (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to 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 Lender 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 and forecasted results.

6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Lender has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:

6.1 Government Compliance. Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations; provided, that (i) any Subsidiary may merge as permitted in Section 7.3, and (ii) any Subsidiary may liquidate, so long as Borrower or another Subsidiary becomes owner of its assets upon liquidation and such liquidation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.

(a) Borrower will deliver to Lender: (i) as soon as available, but no later than 30 days after the last day of each month, an unaudited statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet for and as of the end of such month, in reasonable detail (including comparisons to the operating budget) and prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes(it being understood that monthly financial statements may not include updated valuations and other procedures that are required to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP but which are not customarily undertaken for monthly financial statements), certified by a Responsible Officer; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than 120 days, if prior to an IPO, and 90 days, if after an IPO, after the last day of Borrower’s fiscal year, a balance sheet, and statements of operations and cash flow for such fiscal year.

(b) Within 30 days after the last day of each month, Borrower will deliver to Lender with the monthly financial statements a Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit G. Such Compliance Certificate shall indicate whether any defaults or events of default exist under the SVB Loan Agreement.

(c) Allow Lender to audit Borrower’s Collateral at Borrower’s expense. Such audits will be conducted no more often than every year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.3 Inventory. Borrower will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free from material defects.

6.4 Taxes. Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been created in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to Lender, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment.

6.5 Insurance. Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts, as Lender may reasonably request. Insurance policies will be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Lender in Lender’s reasonable discretion. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Lender as an additional loss payee and all liability policies will show the Lender as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Lender at least 20 days notice before canceling its policy. At Lender’s request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy will, at Lender’s option, be payable to Lender on account of the Obligations.

6.6 Financial Covenants. If an IPO has not occurred on or before June 30, 2007, then the financial covenants set forth in the SVB Loan Agreement will be incorporated herein, together with the relevant definitions in the SVB Loan Agreement, mutatis mutandis, and Borrower thereafter shall comply with such financial covenants as and when specified until an IPO occurs (such time period for which financial covenants are applicable, the “Financial Covenants Period”). For purposes of the foregoing, the financial covenants set forth in the SVB Loan Agreement as of the Effective Date, which are (A) the Minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio covenant of 0.95 to 1.00 set forth in Section 6.7(A) of the SVB Loan Agreement and (B) the Minimum Quarterly Revenue covenant set forth in Section 6.7(B) of the SVB Loan Agreement, may be amended from time to time but to the extent that they are incorporated herein such amendments shall affect the corresponding financial covenants herein only to the extent that such amendments cumulatively do not result in a greater than twenty percent (20%) reduction in the required Borrower financial performance under such financial covenants as of the Effective Date; if the amendments exceed this percentage limit, then such covenants, when incorporated herein, shall be as amended to the extent they would not exceed the twenty percent (20%) reduction limit. In addition, any financial covenants added to the SVB Loan Agreement after the Effective Date may be amended from time to time, but to the extent that they are incorporated herein such amendments shall affect the corresponding financial covenants herein only to the extent that such amendments cumulatively do not result in a greater than twenty percent (20%) reduction in the required Borrower financial performance under such financial covenants as of the date or dates that such financial covenants are added to the SVB Loan Agreement; if the amendments exceed this percentage limit, then such covenants, when incorporated herein, shall be as amended to the extent they would not exceed the twenty percent (20%) reduction limit. If the SVB Loan Agreement terminates or expires and is not extended during the Financial Covenants Period, then Borrower and Lender shall promptly negotiate, in good faith, mutually agreed upon quarterly financial covenants to which Borrower shall be subject for the remainder of the Financial Covenants Period. All references to the SVB Loan Agreement and the financial covenants set forth therein shall also refer to any replacement credit facility constituting Senior Indebtedness unless the context otherwise requires.

Borrower will (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Intellectual Property and promptly advise Lender in writing of material infringements and (ii) not allow any Intellectual Property to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Lender’s written consent, except in each case where Borrower determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such action (or inaction) is in Borrower’s best interest.

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable; notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account.

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Lender requires and make it available as Lender designates. Lender 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 Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by 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. Lender is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s 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 Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit; and

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

Lender may 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.

9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Lender Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Lender may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. If Lender complies with reasonable lending practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable 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. Except as provided above, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.5 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.6 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 Lender on which Borrower is liable.

10. NOTICES. All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Lender 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 Lender 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 Lender. 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 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s 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 LENDER EACH WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH 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 the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §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.
