Lender shall lend to Borrower its Term Commitment, totaling, for all such entities, $10,000,000
(the “Initial Loan”). The Initial Loan shall be provided on the Closing Date without any need for
Borrower to deliver a notice or request, other than by provision of all Closing Deliverables
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1, which delivery shall be deemed to constitute a
borrowing request by Borrower. Proceeds of the Initial Loan shall be disbursed by Lender, in
part, to repay the Existing Debt in full in accordance with the Pay-off Letter on the Closing Date.
All proceeds of the Initial Loan not applied to repay to the Existing Debt shall be deposited into a
Deposit Account of Borrower existing as of the Closing Date. The principal balance of the Initial
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding daily balance thereof from the actual funding thereof
at the Term Loan Interest Rate per annum based on a year consisting of 365 days. Borrower will
make quarterly payments of interest on the Initial Loan to Lender commencing on October 1,
2020 and thereafter on the first Business Day of every subsequent Quarter, based on the Initial
Loan principal amount outstanding in the preceding Quarter. Borrower shall repay Initial Loan in
eight (8) equal Quarterly installments beginning on the Amortization Date and continuing on the
first Business Day of each Quarter thereafter until the Term Loan Maturity Date. Accordingly,
the entire outstanding Initial Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest
hereunder, shall be repaid by the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments
under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction (except as provided in
Section 2.7) and regardless of any counterclaim. The Initial Loan will be used to repay in full the
Existing Debt.
(b) Credit Line. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each entity comprising
Lender shall make available to Borrower its Term Commitment, for all such entities, totaling
$5,000,000 (the “Credit Line”). The Credit Line shall be available for withdrawal during a period
of 12 months from the Closing Date (the “Credit Line Period”). Each portion withdrawn under
the Credit Line shall be provided within 14 days from a borrowing written request by Borrower.
Upon the end of the Credit Line Period, the amounts withdrawn shall be repayable in accordance
with the terms hereof and the amounts not withdrawn shall no longer be available for
withdrawal. Proceeds of the Credit Line shall be deposited into a Deposit Account of Borrower.
The principal balance of the withdrawn Credit Line shall bear interest on the outstanding daily
balance thereof from the actual funding thereof to Borrower at the Term Loan Interest Rate per
annum based on a year consisting of 365 days. Borrower will pay interest on the withdrawn
Credit Line to Lender on the first Business Day of the first Quarter after the initial funding date
of the Credit Line and thereafter on the first day of every subsequent Quarter, based on the
withdrawn Credit Line principal amount outstanding in the preceding Quarter. In addition,
during the Credit Line Period, Borrower shall pay a fee of 1.0% per annum based on a year
consisting of 365 days on the daily average amount not withdrawn under the Credit Line.
Borrower will pay the fee to Lender on the amount not withdrawn under the Credit Line on the
first Business Day following the end of each Quarter during the Credit Line Period, starting on
the first Business Day following the end of the Quarter in which the Closing takes place and
thereafter on the first day of every subsequent Quarter during the Credit Line Period, based on
the amount not withdrawn under the Credit Line in the preceding Quarter. Borrower shall repay
the withdrawn Credit Line to Lender in eight (8) equal Quarterly installments beginning on the
Amortization Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each Quarter thereafter until the
Term Loan Maturity Date. Accordingly, the entire withdrawn and outstanding Credit Line
principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be repaid by the Term Loan
Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff,
recoupment or deduction (except as provided in Section 2.7) and regardless of any counterclaim.
(c) Third Installment Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each entity
comprising Lender shall make available to Borrower its Term Commitment, totaling, for all such
entities, $10,000,000 (the “Third Installment Loan”). The Third Installment Loan shall be
available for withdrawal in full during a period of 15 months from the Closing Date subject to
Borrower’s achievement of one (1) of the following milestones by no later than 15 months from
the Closing Date: (i) Borrower receives non-contingentnon-refundable gross proceeds from one
or more equity financings and/or strategic partnerships, in each case, consummated following the
Closing Date, in the aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 for all such equity financings and
strategic partnerships or (ii) the 65th patient has been enrolled in the URIROX-2 clinical trial
(either of (i) or (ii) separately, the “Milestone”) (the period commencing with achievement of the
Milestone and terminating on the date that is 15 months from the Closing Date, the “Third
Installment Loan Period”). If withdrawn, the Third Installment Loan shall be provided within 14
days from a borrowing written request by Borrower, provided that the written request shall be
accompanied by a resolution of Borrower’s Board of Directors confirming Borrower’s
achievement of the Milestone. Upon the end of the Third Installment Loan Period, the amount
withdrawn shall be repayable in accordance with the terms hereof and if not withdrawn shall no
longer be available for withdrawal. Proceeds of the Third Installment Loan shall be deposited
into a Deposit Account of Borrower. The principal balance of the withdrawn Third Installment
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding daily balance thereof from the actual funding thereof
to Borrower at the Term Loan Interest Rate per annum based on a year consisting of 365 days.
Borrower will pay interest on the withdrawn Third Installment Loan to Lender on the first
Business Day of the first Quarter after the funding date of the Third Installment Loan and
thereafter on the first day of every subsequent Quarter, based on the withdrawn Third Installment
Loan principal amount outstanding in the preceding Quarter. In addition, upon withdrawal of the
Third Installment Loan, Borrower shall pay a fee of 1.0% of the Third Installment Loan to
Lender. Borrower shall repay the withdrawn Third Installment Loan in eight (8) equal Quarterly
installments to Lender beginning on the Amortization Date and continuing on the first Business
Day of each Quarter thereafter until the Term Loan Maturity Date. Accordingly, the entire
withdrawn and outstanding Third Installment Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid
interest hereunder, shall be repaid by the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all
payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction (except as provided in
Section 2.7) and regardless of any counterclaim.
(d) Each entity comprising Borrower shall guarantee and be jointly and severally liable for
repayment of each of the three facilities comprising the Term Loan as described above and all
other obligations of Borrower, and each entity comprising Borrower, hereunder, without regard
to whether such entity drew down the proceeds of any such facility or incurred any such other
obligations, in each case, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law for each such
entity, including laws with respect to fraudulent conveyances, financial assistance or similar
concepts under each applicable jurisdiction shall not be released, discharged or in any way
affected by, any circumstance or condition (whether or not such Borrower shall have any
knowledge or notice thereof) whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense (other than payment in full).
(e) Such Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law: (a) notice of any of the matters referred to above; (b) the right to require Lender
to proceed against any other Borrower liable on the Secured Obligations, to proceed against or
exhaust any security held by any other Borrower, or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s
power; (c) the right to have the property of any other Borrower first applied to the discharge of
the obligations hereunder or under the other documents contemplated hereby and (i) until such
time that all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement
obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement)
have been paid in full, any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement or at
law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights
of Lender) to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of
reimbursement from any other Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise. Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against a
Borrower entity without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any other entity
comprising Borrower hereunder and such Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy of such Borrower
against any other Borrower. Such Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of another entity comprising Borrower or by reason of the cessation
for any cause whatsoever of the liability, either in whole or in part, of another Borrower to
Lender, and such Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of each other Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan documents and
agrees that Lender shall not have any duty to advise such Borrower of any such information or
changes thereto; and that Lender has not made any representations with respect thereto.
At any time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of the obligations of a
Borrower hereunder, Lender may deal with another Borrower in the same manner and as fully as
if the obligations of such Borrower did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to
grant each other Borrower, without notice or demand and without affecting such Borrower’s
liability hereunder, such extensions of time to perform, renew, compromise, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of or otherwise change the terms of this Agreement and
the indebtedness hereunder, or to waive any obligation of another Borrower to perform, any act
or acts as Lender may deem advisable.
2.2. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Notes, or any
other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a
rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent
jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of
interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations
had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by
Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting
of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s
accrued interest, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, professional fees and
any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if
any) shall be refunded to Borrower.
2.3. Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid within five (5) Business Days of the
scheduled payment date, subject to applicable grace periods, if any, an amount equal to three
percent (3.0%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all outstanding
principal hereunder, shall, at Agent’s option, bear interest at, without duplication with
Section 2.1, the Term Loan Interest Rate plus three percent (3.0%) per annum.
2.4. Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay amounts withdrawn in whole or in part at any time,
from time to time, without premium or penalty, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to
Agent (“Prepayment Notice”). During each of the following three periods: (i) the period
commencing upon entry into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or similar
agreement for a proposed Change in Control of the Borrower and ending on the earliest to occur
of the termination, rejection or expiration of such agreement or the public announcement of entry
into of a definitive agreement in respect of such proposed Change in Control, (ii) the period
commencing upon receipt of a written bona fide offer for a proposed Change in Control of the
Borrower and ending on the earliest to occur of the termination, rejection or expiration of such
offer or the
public announcement of entry into of a definitive agreement in respect of such proposed Change
in Control, or (iii) the period commencing when the Borrower otherwise first engages in
substantive negotiations in furtherance of a proposed Change in Control of the Borrower, but
only to the extent that such substantive negotiations would constitute material non-public
information for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws, and ending on the earlier to occur of the
termination of such substantive negotiations or the public announcement of entry into of a
definitive agreement in respect of such proposed Change in Control, the Borrower’s right to
prepay shall be suspended, provided however, that the Borrower shall have the right to send
notice to Lender of its intent to prepay the Term Loan concurrent with the closing of the Change
of Control transaction; provided that (i) in such circumstances or (ii) after the Borrower has
otherwise publicly announced its entry into of a definitive agreement that would result in a
Change in Control of the Borrower and without limitation of Lender’s conversion rights in this
Agreement, Lender will have the option to convert any outstanding portion of the Initial Loan,
Credit Line and Third Installment Loan at the then-applicable Conversion Price(s) prior to the
close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the closing date of the
Change in Control transaction. Any such early repayments shall be applied to the required
amortization payments in direct order of maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in a case where Lender has submitted a Conversion Notice to Borrower within the five
(5) Business Day period following receipt of the Prepayment Notice, no prepayment shall be
allowed prior to conversion as requested in such Conversion Notice and the Conversion Notice
shall prevail. The Prepayment Notice shall apply to any outstanding Term Loan amount
remaining, if any, after conversion as specified in the Conversion Notice.
2.5. Notes. If so requested by Lender by written notice to Borrower, then Borrower shall execute
and deliver to Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who
is a permitted assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.13), promptly after Borrower’s receipt
of such notice, one or more Term Notes to evidence Lender’s Term Loans.
2.6. Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any
reduction of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the
relevant entity comprising Lender.
2.7. Withholding. All payments payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall be paid without any deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by
law. If Borrower is required by law to deduct or withhold from such a payment to be made by
Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall
timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by
Borrower shall be increased 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 applicable Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The Borrower shall indemnify each
Lender or Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or Agent or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Lender or Agent and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
2.8. Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely
reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
2.9. Status of Lender. Agent and Lender agree that:
(a) Any entity comprising Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to
Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a
U.S. Borrower,
i. any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Code
Section 7701(a)(30) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or
about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request
of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax;
ii. any Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Code
Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
1. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to
payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies
of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty;
2. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
3. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the
Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the
Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a
“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
4. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,
executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS
Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or
more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner;
iii. any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver
to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent),
executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made;
iv. if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the
time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary
for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after
the date of this Agreement.
(b) Each entity comprising Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
3.1. As security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates
or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower grants to Agent a security interest, senior
to any current and future debts and to any security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), in all of
Borrower’s right, title, and interest in, to the following personal property of Borrower (except as
set forth herein) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a)
Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles (other than Intellectual
Property); (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods;
(j) Licenses; (k) franchise agreements, (l) commercial tort claims; and all other tangible and
intangible personal property of Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing; and, to the
extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to,
substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Collateral shall not under any circumstances include,
and no security interest is granted in, any Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the
Collateral shall include all (i) Accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment
and (ii) proceeds from any form whatsoever from commercialization or monetization of, or the
generation of any revenues or other consideration from, Borrower’s owned or licensed
Intellectual Property, including from the sale or invitation to license, assertion, litigation,
enforcement in any form, licensing, or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, such Intellectual
Property (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority
(including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual
Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral
shall automatically, and effective as of the date of this Agreement, include Borrower’s owned
Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Agent’s security interest in
the Rights to Payment. Upon request by Agent, Borrower shall produce, execute and file any
document (including UCC Financing Statements), and make any arrangement using its best
efforts as reasonably requested by Agent to perfect and establish Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral, and to the extent Borrower does not promptly make any such filing (including on the
Closing Date), Agent is authorized to make such filing including all UCC Financing Statements
deemed by Agent to be necessary to perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.
3.2. Notwithstanding the broad grant of the security interest set forth in Section 3.1, above, the
Collateral shall not include (a) any Intellectual Property except to the extent expressly described
in Section 3.1 above, (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the
consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on
transfer is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-406,9-407
and 9-408 of the UCC), (c) any leasehold real property interest, license, lease or other contract or
agreement or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or similar arrangement
to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease,
license, contract or agreement or purchase money arrangement or create a right of termination in
favor of any other party thereto (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer or grant of a
security interest is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections
9406, 9407 and 9408 of the UCC), (d) any property to the extent that, and for as long as, such
grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation; provided that
the foregoing exclusion in this clause (e) shall in no way be construed (i) to apply to the extent
that any described prohibition is unenforceable under Section 9-406,9-407 or 9-408 of the UCC
or other applicable law or (ii) to apply to the extent that any consent or waiver has been obtained,
or is hereafter obtained, that would permit Agent’s security interest or Lien notwithstanding the
prohibition on the grant of a security interest in such property, (f) Excluded Accounts, (g) motor
vehicles or other assets in which a security interest may be perfected only though compliance
with a certificate of title statute, (h) any Cash or certificates of deposit securing reimbursement
obligations permitted under this
Agreement, (i) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the voting capital stock in any direct
Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a CFC or CFC Holdco, or (j) any property or asset with
respect to which Agent shall have determined in its reasonable discretion that the cost of
obtaining, perfecting or maintaining a security interest in such property or asset exceeds the
value of the security afforded thereby.
3.3. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral
shall continue until the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or other
obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) are satisfied in full, and
at such time Agent’s security interest in the Collateral shall automatically and immediately be
terminated and released without further action by any party and all rights in the Collateral shall
automatically revert to Borrower. Agent shall execute such documents and take such other steps
as are reasonably requested by Borrower to accomplish or evidence the foregoing, all at
Borrower’s sole cost and expense.
The obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are subject to the satisfaction by
Borrower of the following conditions:
4.1. On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall have delivered to Agent the following
(“Closing Deliverables”):
(a) executed copies of the Loan Documents, a legal opinion of Borrower’s counsel, and all other
documents and instruments reasonably requested by Agent to effectuate the transactions
contemplated hereby or to create and perfect the Liens of Agent with respect to all Collateral, in
all cases in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent;
(b) a fully executed pay-off letter reasonably satisfactory to Agent confirming that all obligations
owing by Borrower under the Existing Debt will be repaid in full and all Liens upon any of the
property and assets of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that secure obligations
under the Existing Debt shall be terminated immediately upon such payment (the “Pay-Off
Letter”);
(c) copy of resolutions of Borrower’s board of directors evidencing approval of the Loan and
other transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents;
(d) copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, as amended through the Closing
Date, of Borrower;
(e) a certificate of good standing for Borrower from its state of incorporation and similar
certificates from all other jurisdictions in which it is qualified to do business, except where the
failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(f) to the extent invoiced to Borrower prior to the Closing Date, payment of the Closing Expense
Charge (if not paid prior to the Closing Date). If not invoiced prior to Closing Date, Closing
Expense Charge and out-of-pocket costs associated with filings required to perfect Agent’s
security interest or diligence searches with Governmental Authorities will be paid following the
Closing Date, within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of invoice;
(g) [Reserved];
(h) executed copy of a Registration Rights Agreement; and
(i) a Compliance Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, executed by
Borrower.
4.2. No Default. As of the Closing Date, (i) no fact or condition exists that (or could, with the
passage of time, the giving of notice, or both) constitutes an Event of Default and (ii) no event
that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and
is continuing.
SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER
6.1. Coverage. Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained general liability insurance, on
an occurrence form, against risks customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business by
companies of similar size in similar locations. So long as there are any Secured Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by
their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) outstanding, Borrower shall also cause to be
carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks of physical loss or
damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral,
provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles.
6.2. Certificates. Subject to Section 7.20, Borrower shall deliver to Agent certificates of
insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and
the obligations contained in this Section 6.2. Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state Agent is
an additional insured for general liability, a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance,
subject to the insurer’s approval, and a loss payee for property insurance and additional insured
for liability insurance. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured
endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage
insurance. All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance
written notice to Agent of cancellation (other than cancellation for non-payment of premiums,
for which ten (10) days’ advance written notice shall be sufficient). Any failure of Agent to
scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Agent’s rights, all
of which are reserved. Following request by Agent, Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of
each insurance policy (excluding D&O), and upon entering or materially amending any
insurance policy required hereunder, Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of such policies
(excluding D&O) and shall promptly deliver to Agent updated insurance certificates with respect
to such policies.
6.3. Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Agent, Lender and their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, in-house attorneys, representatives and shareholders (each,
an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all claims, reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims,
costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort),
including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other
costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal) (collectively,
“Liabilities”), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by such Indemnified Person
as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising
out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in
connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding
in all cases Liabilities to the extent resulting from any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct or breach of any Loan Document. In no event shall any party hereunder be
liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). This Section 6.3 shall survive the
repayment of indebtedness under, and otherwise shall survive the expiration or other termination
of, this Agreement. This Section 6.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
permit, to Borrower’s knowledge, any Affiliate to, directly or indirectly, knowingly enter into
any documents, instruments, agreements or contracts with any Person listed on the OFAC Lists.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
permit, to Borrower’s knowledge, any Affiliate to, directly or indirectly, (i) conduct any business
or engage in any transaction or dealing with any Blocked Person, including, without limitation,
the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of
any Blocked Person, (ii) deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property
or interests in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224 or any similar executive

that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of
the prohibitions set forth in Executive Order No. 13224 or other Anti-Terrorism Law.
Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure
material compliance by Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and Borrower, its
Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and to the knowledge of Borrower its
directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in
all material respects.
None of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or
employees, or to the knowledge of Borrower, any agent for Borrower or its Subsidiaries that will
act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a
Sanctioned Person. No Loan, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this
Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.
7.17. Rule 144 Compliance.
(a) With a view to making available to each entity comprising Lender the benefits of Rule 144
under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at
any time permit such entity to sell any portion of the Conversion Shares to the public without
registration, Borrower represents and warrants that: (i) Borrower is, and has been for a period of
at least ninety (90) days immediately preceding the date hereof, subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) Borrower has filed all required
reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the twelve
(12) months preceding the Closing Date (or for such shorter period that Borrower was required
to file such reports); (iii) Borrower is not an issuer defined as a “Shell Company” (as hereinafter
defined); and (iv) if Borrower has, at any time, been an issuer defined as a Shell Company,
Borrower has: (A) not been an issuer defined as a Shell Company for at least six (6) months prior
to the Closing Date; and (B) has satisfied the requirements of Rule 144(i) (including, without
limitation, the proper filing of “Form 10 information” at least six (6) months prior to the Closing
Date). For the purposes hereof, the term “Shell Company” shall mean an issuer that meets the
description set forth under Rule 144(i)(1)(i).
(b) In addition, until the earliest of (x) three (3) years from the date hereof, (y) when the
Conversion Shares are no longer required to bear a restrictive legend and (z) the effective date of
the sale of all or substantially all the assets of Borrower , any merger, consolidation or
acquisition involving Borrower with, by or into another corporation, entity or person; or any
change in the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting capital stock of Borrower
in one or more related transactions (such transactions described in this clause (z), a “Sale
Event”), Borrower shall, at its sole expense, promptly following the request of Lender and upon
Lender providing customary supporting documentation, give Borrower’s transfer agent
instructions to the effect that, upon the transfer agent’s receipt from Borrower of a certificate (a
“Rule 144 Certificate”) certifying that such Lender’s holding period (as determined in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 144) for any portion of the Conversion Shares, which
such Lender proposes to sell (the “Securities Being Sold”) is not less than six (6) months and
such sale otherwise complies with the requirements of Rule 144, and receipt by the transfer agent
of the “Rule 144 Opinion” (as hereinafter defined) from Borrower or its counsel (or from such
Lender and its counsel as permitted below), the transfer agent is to effect the transfer of the
Securities Being Sold and issue to such Lender or transferee(s) thereof one or more stock
certificates representing the transferred Securities Being Sold without any restrictive legend and
without recording any restrictions on the transferability of such Securities Being Sold on the
transfer agent’s books and records or, at Lender’s option, the Securities Being Sold shall be
transmitted by the transfer agent to Lender by crediting the account of Lender’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its deposit or withdrawal at
custodian system if the transfer agent is then a participant in such system; provided that
Borrower will not be required to do any of the foregoing if it reasonably determines that such
sale would not comply with Rule 144. In this regard, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall have
an affirmative obligation at its sole expense, to cause its counsel to promptly issue to the transfer
agent a legal opinion providing that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, the Securities Being Sold
were or may be sold, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence
of an effective registration statement (the “Rule 144 Opinion”); provided that Borrower will not
be required to do any of the foregoing if it reasonably determines that such sale would not
comply with Rule 144. If the transfer agent requires any additional documentation in connection
with any proposed transfer by Lender of any Securities Being Sold, Lender shall promptly
deliver or cause to be delivered to the transfer agent or to any other Person, all such additional
documentation as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Securities Being
Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any transferee thereof, all at Lender’s
expense.
7.18. Intellectual Property.
(a) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) protect, defend and maintain the
validity and enforceability of its and its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s
and its Subsidiaries’ business; (ii) promptly advise Agent in writing of material infringements of
its Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ business of which it is aware;
and (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ business
to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public unless such abandonment, forfeiture or
dedication is in the OCB.
(b) Borrower shall provide written report to Agent within thirty (30) days of the end of each
fiscal quarter any material in-bound Licenses that prohibits Borrower from granting a security
interest in Borrower’s interest in such License (other than over-the-counter software that is
commercially available to the public) that Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into or
become bound by in the preceding fiscal quarter. Borrower shall take or cause to be taken such
commercially reasonable steps as Agent reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver
by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any material in-bound License to be
deemed “Collateral” and for Agent to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be
restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such material in-bound License, whether
now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Agent to have the ability in the event of a
liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.19. Transactions with Affiliates. Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction of any kind with any Affiliate
of Borrower or such Subsidiary on terms that are less favorable to Borrower or such Subsidiary,
as the case may be, than those that might be obtained in an arm’s length transaction from a
Person who is not an Affiliate of Borrower or such
Subsidiary other than (a) transactions, arrangements and contracts between Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, (b) transactions otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9
and 7.11, (c) the sale of Equity Interests in bona fide transactions with or the incurrence of
Subordinated Indebtedness in bona fide transactions owing to Borrower’s investors that do not
result in a Change in Control and (d) reasonable and customary director, officer and employee
compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option
and other benefit plans and indemnification arrangements approved by the relevant board of
directors or equivalent corporate body).
7.20. Post-Closing Covenants. Within 60 days following the Closing Date (or such later date as
agreed by Agent in its sole discretion), Borrower shall:
(a) execute and deliver to Agent deposit account control agreement reasonably acceptable to
Agent covering all of the Deposit Accounts maintained with banks located within the United
States of America and listed on Schedule 7.20 hereto (other than any Excluded Account);
(b) deliver to Agent stock certificates evidencing all of the shares of the Subsidiaries together
with a stock power in blank for each such certificate, if any; and
(c) deliver to Agent insurance certificates required pursuant to Section 6.2.
SECTION 8. CONVERSION
8.1. Conversion Privilege. Each of the entities comprising Lender, at its option, shall have the
right to convert at any time any portion of its then outstanding Term Commitments and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares of Common Stock of Borrower at the applicable
Conversion Price, as defined below.
8.2. Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” for the Initial Loan and Credit Line shall be $4.10
(subject to adjustments as provided below). The Conversion Price for the Third Installment Loan
will equal the higher of: (i) $4.10 and (ii) a price equal to 2 times the average closing price of
Borrower’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date on which the Third
Installment Loan becomes available for withdrawal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that on or after the Closing Date, a stock split, stock combination, reclassification, payment of
stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or small number of
shares is consummated (each, a “Stock Event”), the applicable Conversion Price shall be
proportionately increased or decreased as necessary to reflect the proportionate change in shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding as a result of such Stock Event.
8.3. Conversion Mechanism. Any entity comprising Lender electing to convert any portion of its
then outstanding Term Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Converting
Lender”), shall notify Borrower in writing, stating the amount the Converting Lender requests to
convert (the “Converted Amount”) and the account to which it wishes the shares of Common
Stock to be delivered electronically upon conversion (“Conversion Notice”). The Borrower shall
deliver to the Converting Lender, on or before the third Business Day following the Conversion
Notice, (1) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Converted Amount divided by the
Conversion Price applicable to the Term Loans converted (the “Note Conversion Shares”) and
(2) cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any. The Borrower and Converting Lender shall produce,
execute and file any document and make any arrangement as reasonably required to perfect such
conversion. The Note Conversion Shares shall be fully paid, and the Note Conversion Shares
shall be unrestricted and freely tradable securities under U.S. federal securities laws (i) pursuant
to Rule 144, if held by a person that is not an affiliate (and has not been affiliate at any time
during the three months preceding any such sale) of Borrower, following both the satisfaction of
the holding period for such shares required under Rule 144 and the availability of current public
information required by Rule 144, or (ii) following the registration of the Note Conversion
Shares under an effective registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement. Lender shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the
Business Day during which Borrower received the Conversion Notice. Following conversion
pursuant to this Section, the Converted Amount shall be deemed fully paid and shall no longer be
deemed a Secured Obligation hereunder.
In addition, Borrower shall have the right to convert at any time all or any portion of the then
outstanding Term Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares of Common
Stock of Borrower at the applicable Conversion Price, subject to fulfilment of all of the
following
conditions: (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are unrestricted and freely
tradable securities if held by a person that is not an affiliate (and has not been affiliate at any
time during the three months preceding any such sale) of Borrower pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
(ii) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Borrower gives
notice of the exercise of its conversion right, the closing price of Borrower’s shares of common
stock was higher than 1.4 times the Conversion Price applicable to the Term Loans converted on
at least 20 trading days, including on the trading day preceding the date on which Borrower gives
notice of the exercise of its conversion right, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion by Borrower shall not exceed the average weekly number of traded
shares on the stock market during the four weeks immediately preceding the date on which
Borrower gives notice of the exercise of its conversion rights. Borrower may only effect a
conversion once every four weeks.
8.4. Tax. Borrower shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the
issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion under this Section 8, unless the tax is due
because the Converting Lender requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the
Converting Lender’s name.
8.5. Fully Paid Shares. Borrower shall at all times hold, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized, unreserved and unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of
Common Stock to provide for conversion as contemplated above from time to time as such
Conversion Notice is presented.
8.6. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
(a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes
resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving Borrower,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the assets of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or
(iv) any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for,
stock, other securities, or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof)
(any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event,
the conversion right of Lender (and Borrower) shall be changed into a right to convert each
$1,000 principal amount of outstanding Term Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon into
the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including
cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient of $1,000 and the applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to such Merger
Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit
of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one
share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the
effective time of such Merger Event, Borrower or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case
may be, shall execute with Lender a supplemental agreement providing for such change in the
option to convert (“Supplemental Agreement”).
(b) If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the
right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form
of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the amounts due hereunder
will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of
consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference
Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration
referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common
Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions which occur after the
effective date of such Merger Event, (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000
principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be
solely cash in
an amount equal to quotient of $1,000 and the applicable Conversion Price multiplied by the
price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and shall be paid to the Converting
Lender on or before the third Business Day immediately following the Business Day upon which
the Conversion Notice was received. Borrower shall notify Lender of any such weighted average
referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph as soon as reasonably practicable after such
determination is made.
(c) If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person
other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event,
then such Supplemental Agreement shall also be executed by such other Person, if such Person is
an affiliate of Borrower or the successor or acquiring company, and shall contain such additional
provisions to protect the interests of the Converting Lender as the board of directors of Borrower
shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
(d) When Borrower executes a Supplemental Agreement, Borrower shall promptly deliver to
Lender a certificate, signed by an Officer of Borrower, briefly stating the reasons therefor, the
kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference
Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that
all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all
Converting Lender. Borrower shall cause notice of the execution of such Supplemental
Agreement to be given to Lender within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such
notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such Supplemental Agreement.
(e) Borrower shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with
this Section 8.6. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of Lender to convert any
portion of the Term Loan into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of such
Merger Event.
(f) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
8.7. Certain Covenants.
(a) The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion will be
fully paid and non-assessable by the Borrower and free from all liens and charges with respect to
the issue thereof.
(b) Borrower covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided upon conversion
require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any federal or state
law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued, Borrower shall, to the extent
then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the SEC, secure such registration or approval,
as the case may be in a manner that will enable and will not delay conversion as aforesaid, unless
an exemption from such registration or approval requirements is available.
(c) Borrower further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Borrower will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so
listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon
conversion hereunder.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”:
9.1. Payments. Borrower fails to pay any scheduled payment of any Secured Obligations due and
owing under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days
of the date when due; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not occur on account of a
failure to pay due solely to an administrative or operational error of Agent or Lender or
Borrower’s bank if Borrower had the funds to make the payment when due and makes the
payment within three (3) Business Days following Borrower’s knowledge of such failure to pay;
or
9.2. Covenants. Borrower breaches or defaults in the performance of any covenant or Secured
Obligation under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement
among Borrower, Agent and Lender, and (a) with respect to a default under any covenant under
this Agreement (other than under Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.14, 7.15, 7.19(b), and
7.20 of this Agreement and Sections 2 and 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement), any other
Loan Document or any other agreement among Borrower, Agent and Lender, such default
continues for more than thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date on which (i) Agent or Lender
has given notice of such default to Borrower and (ii) Borrower has actual knowledge of such
default or (b) with respect to a default under any of Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.14,
7.15, 7.19(b) and 7.20 of this Agreement and Sections 2 and 3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement (except in the event that notwithstanding such breach of Sections 2 and 3 of the
Registration Rights, the entities comprising Lender are eligible to sell all of the Note Conversion
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act
without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale or availability of current public
information) the occurrence of such default; or
9.3. Material Adverse Effect. A Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred; provided that
solely for the purposes of this Section 9.3, none of the following shall constitute by itself a
Material Adverse Effect: (i) changes in general economic or political conditions or financial
credit or securities markets in general (including changes in interest or exchange rates) or general
changes in the regulation, standard terms and policies of an industry or a market, whether
worldwide or in the United States, (ii) acts of war, armed hostilities or terrorism or any escalation
or worsening of any acts of war, armed hostilities or terrorism, or (iii) changes in generally
accepted accounting principles.
9.4. Representations. Any representation or warranty made by Borrower in any Loan Document
shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or when deemed made; or
9.5. Insolvency. Borrower (A) shall either: (i) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
(ii) shall be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business, or
(iii) shall become insolvent (when taken as a whole on a consolidated basis, it being clarified
that, without derogating from the other provisions of this Section 9.5(A), the mere fact that the
outstanding amount of Secured Obligations is greater than the Borrower’s cash balance at a
specific point in time, shall not in itself result in the Borrower’s being deemed insolvent for the
purpose of this clause (iii)); or (iv) shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; or (v) shall file
any petition, answer, or document seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future
statute, law or regulation pertinent to such circumstances; or (vi) shall seek or consent to or
acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Borrower of all or any
material part of the assets or property of Borrower; or (vii) shall cease operations of its business
as its business has normally been conducted, or terminate substantially all of its employees; or
(viii) Borrower or its respective directors or majority shareholders shall take any action initiating
any of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (vii); or (B) either (i) forty-five
(45) days shall have expired after the commencement of an involuntary action against Borrower
seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, without such action being
dismissed or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of
Borrower being stayed; or (ii) a stay of any such order or proceedings shall thereafter be set aside
and the action setting it aside shall not be timely appealed; or (iii) Borrower shall file any answer
admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower in any
such proceedings; or (iv) the court in which such proceedings are pending shall enter a decree or
order granting the relief sought in any such proceedings; or (v) forty-five (45) days shall have
expired after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Borrower, of any trustee,
receiver or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any material part of the properties of Borrower
without such appointment being vacated; or
9.6. Attachments; Judgments. Any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached or seized, or
a levy is filed against any such assets, or a judgment or judgments is/are entered against
Borrower for the payment of money (not covered by independent third party insurance as to
which liability has not been rejected by such insurance carrier), individually or in the aggregate,
of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and remains unstayed, unbonded and
unsatisfied for more than twenty (20) days past the date such judgment is required to be stayed,
bonded or satisfied, or Borrower is enjoined or in any way prevented by court order from
conducting any material part of its business for more than thirty (30) consecutive days; or
9.7. Other Obligations. The occurrence of any default (beyond any applicable cure or grace
periods) by Borrower under any agreement or obligation of Borrower giving rise to the ability of
any third party to accelerate any Indebtedness in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000); or
9.8. Delisting. At any time, the Common Stock shall be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select
Market and Borrower shall not have been able to list the Common Stock on another U.S. national

10.1. General. Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, (i) Lender
shall not be required to provide any portion of the Term Loan not yet provided or withdrawn,
(ii) Agent may accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the outstanding Secured
Obligations and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in
Section 9.5, all of the outstanding Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and
made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act), (iii) Agent may, at its
option, sign and file in Borrower’s name any and all collateral assignments, notices, security
agreements and other documents it deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or protect the
repayment of the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby grants Agent
an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and (iv) Agent may notify any of
Borrower’s account debtors to make payment directly to Agent, compromise the amount of any
such account on Borrower’s behalf and endorse Agent’s name without recourse on any such
payment for deposit directly to Agent’s account. Agent may exercise all rights and remedies with
respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC
and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize
upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize,
process and commingle the Collateral. All Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and
not exclusive.
10.2. Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Agent may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or
more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or
following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Agent may
elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or
elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten
(10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower. Agent may require Borrower to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent that is reasonably
convenient to Agent and Borrower. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Agent in the following order of
priorities:
First, to Agent and Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Agent’s and Lender’s reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as
described in Section 11.11;
Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations
(including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Agent
may choose in its sole discretion; and
Finally, after the full and final payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations (other than
inchoate obligations and other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this
Agreement), to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its
representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Agent shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of
any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.
10.3. No Waiver. Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the
benefit of Borrower or any other Person, and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to
require Agent to marshal any Collateral.
10.4. Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent hereunder shall be in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative.
The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be
construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and
remedies of Agent.

written consent of Lender, Agent and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, from
time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the
other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lender or of Borrower
hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as Lender or Agent, as the
case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any default or Event of Default and its consequences. Any such waiver
and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to Lender and shall be
binding upon Borrower, Lender, Agent and all future holders of the Term Loans.
11.4. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
11.5. No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and Lender by this Agreement are solely to
protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission
or delay by Agent or Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to
require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time
designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or Lender is entitled,
nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.
11.6. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for
the benefit of Agent and Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
Sections 6.3, 11.12 and 11.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.7. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agent’s express
prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. None of
Agent or Lender shall assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents without Borrower’s express prior written consent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in all cases, any transfer to an Affiliate of Lender or Agent shall be allowed.
(b) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each
assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the
Term Loans owing to, Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and Borrower, Agent
and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of the Loan Documents. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower and Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information
relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.
11.8. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and
delivered to Agent and Lender in the State of New York and shall have been accepted by Agent
and Lender in the State of New York. Payment to Agent and Lender by Borrower of the Secured
Obligations is due in the State of New York. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any
other jurisdiction; provided that Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General
Obligations Law shall apply.
11.9. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference
requirement of Section 11.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents (except as expressly provided otherwise in any other Loan
Document) shall be brought in any competent state or federal court located in New York City,
New York (the “Competent Court”). By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party
hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) submits and consents to exclusive jurisdiction in such
courts except that Agent may bring suit or take legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on
the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or as provided in any other Loan
Document; (b) waives any objection as to lack of jurisdiction or improper venue or forum non
conveniens; and (c) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party
hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in
accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2 and shall be deemed
effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2.
11.10. Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.
Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and
economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state
and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be
resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND
LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY
CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY
BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY
AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This
waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent,
Borrower and Lender, Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship
among Borrower, Agent and Lender, and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort,
specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document.
11.11. Professional Fees. Subject to the expense cap set forth herein, Borrower promises to pay
Agent’s and Lender’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses necessary to
finalize the Loan Documents, including but not limited to reasonable and documented out-of-
pocket attorney’s fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In
addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket
attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent and Lender after the
Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or
enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any
waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection,
preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise
of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any third party legal, litigation, administrative,
arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral,
and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower,
the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lender in any adversary
proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate,
and any appeal or review thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be
responsible for paying or otherwise reimbursing Agent’s or Lender’s costs or expenses for more
than one (1) outside counsel in each of Israel and the United States for Agent and Lender
collectively.
11.12. Confidentiality. Agent and Lender acknowledge that Collateral and information provided
to Agent and Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower (the
“Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Agent and Lender agree that any Confidential
Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any
manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except
that Agent and Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers,
employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its Affiliates if Agent or
Lender in their good faith discretion determines that any such party should have access to such
information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this
Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to
be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to
confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of
Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than the terms of this Section 11.12; (b) if
such information is generally available to the public without any disclosure by Agent or Lender
or breach of this Section 11.12; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or
testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over
Agent or Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in
connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or
Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or
Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or
remedy under any Loan Document, including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of
Collateral after default and during the continuation of an Event of Default; (g) to any participant
or assignee of Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such
participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by
this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior written consent of Borrower
(which may be by e-mail); provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement
shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In handling any Confidential Information, each of
Agent and Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary
information. Agent’s and Lender’s obligations under this Section 11.12 shall supersede all of
their respective obligations under any non-disclosure agreement.
11.13. Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lender
may, subject to Section 11.7, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the
Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”); provided that no such assignment shall
be made without the prior written consent of Borrower; provided, however, Borrower’s consent
shall not be required if such assignment occurs in connection with a sale or disposition of Agent
or Lender or all of Lender’s loan portfolio, or any merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization
affecting Lender. After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan
Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all
rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so
assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lender shall retain
all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lender shall
relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any
transfer by it of the Term Note (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the
principal of the Term Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to
the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
11.14. Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in
full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower
for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of
Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lender.
The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be
effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof
is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned
by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as
a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment,
performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan
Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or
documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full final payment
to Agent or Lender.
11.15. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements
hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will
be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any
kind in any Person other than Agent, Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided
otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents
will be personal and solely among Agent, Lender and Borrower.
11.17. Agency. Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Agent to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
11.18. Publicity. None of the parties hereto nor any of its respective member businesses and
Affiliates shall, without the other parties’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), publicize or use (a) the other party’s name (including a brief description of
the relationship among the parties hereto), logo or hyperlink to such other parties’ web site,
separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing
materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the “ Publicity
Materials”); (b) the names of officers of such other parties in the Publicity Materials; and
(c) such other parties’ name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news or press release concerning
such party; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such consent
shall be required (i) to the extent necessary to comply with the requests of any regulators, legal
requirements or laws applicable to such party, including pursuant to any listing agreement with
any national securities exchange (so long as such party provides prior notice to the other party
hereto to the extent reasonably practicable) and (ii) to comply with Section 11.12.
