EXHIBIT B


 





 


SPECIALTY FINANCE DIVISION


Compliance Certificate


 


I, an authorized officer of Procera Networks, Inc. (“Borrower”) certify under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Borrower and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) as follows (all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement):


 


Borrower represents and warrants for each Financed Receivable:


 


Each Financed Receivable is an Eligible Account.


 


Borrower is the owner with legal right to sell, transfer, assign and encumber such Financed Receivable;


 


The correct amount is on the Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed;


 


Payment is not contingent on any obligation or contract and Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations as of the Invoice Transmittal date;


 


Each Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or services rendered, is due to Borrower,  is not past due or in default, has not been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens, security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;


 


There are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account Debtor may claim any deduction or discount;


 


It reasonably believes no Account Debtor is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency Proceedings;


 


It has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not anticipate any filing;


 


Bank has the right to endorse and/ or require Borrower to endorse all payments received on Financed Receivables and all proceeds of Collateral.


 


No representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in the certificates or statement not misleading.


 


Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:


 


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.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational 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.






  





  











  








Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens.  All inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.


 


Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.  Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, 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 obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.


 


Borrower is in compliance with the Financial Covenant(s) set forth in Section 6.7 of the Agreement.
