In consideration of and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower herein and in the Existing Loan Documents, Bank hereby waives the Existing Default under the Loan Agreement. Bank’s waiver of the Existing Default shall apply only to the foregoing specific compliance period referenced above.
5. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES.

6. FEES. Borrower shall pay to Bank a modification fee equal to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), which fee shall be due on the date hereof and shall be deemed fully earned as of the date hereof. Borrower shall also reimburse Bank for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Existing Loan Documents and this amendment thereto.
7. RATIFICATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT. Vericept hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and conditions of the IP Security Agreement, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the IP Security Agreement contains an accurate and complete listing of all Intellectual Property Collateral as defined in the IP Security Agreement, and shall remain in full force and effect.
8. RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION CERTIFICATES. Holdings hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate dated as of August 19, 2009, by Holdings and delivered to Bank (the “Holdings Perfection Certificate”), and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information Holdings provided to Bank in the Holdings Perfection Certificate have not changed, as of the date hereof.

Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder.
12. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY. Bank may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Loan Agreement.
14. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. Illinois law governs this Loan Modification Agreement without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Illinois; provided, however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of Illinois, Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Clara County, California. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BANK SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH BANK DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE BANK’S RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT 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 LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
15. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.
