2.    DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL.  Repayment of the Obligations is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement and in certain Intellectual Property Security Agreements executed by each Borrower in favor of Bank (collectively, the “IP Agreements”, and together with any other collateral security granted to Bank, the “Security Documents”). 
Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”.
3.    JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION.  Following the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), API will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Innovations.  Picometrix is a wholly-owned Subsidiaries of API.  Each New Borrower hereby joins the Loan Agreement and each of the other appropriate Loan Documents, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Loan Agreement and each of the other appropriate Loan Documents, as if such New Borrower were originally named a “Borrower” and/or a “Debtor” therein.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each New Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to pay and perform when due all present and future indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations.  From and after the date hereof, all references in the Loan Documents to “Borrower” and/or “Debtor” shall be deemed to refer to and include such New Borrower.  Further, all present and future Obligations of Borrower shall be deemed to refer to all present and future Obligations of each New Borrower.  Each New Borrower acknowledges that the Obligations are due and owing to Bank from Borrower including, without limitation, such New Borrower, without any defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever as of the date hereof.
4.    GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.  To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each New Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of such New Borrower’s now existing or hereafter arising rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located, including, without limitation, all of such New Borrower’s assets listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and all of such New Borrower’s books and records relating to the foregoing and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.  Each 





New Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under the Loan Agreement).  If any New Borrower shall acquire a material commercial tort claim, such New Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by such New Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.  Each New Borrower further covenants and agrees that by its execution hereof it shall provide all such information, complete all such forms, and take all such actions, and enter into all such agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank that are reasonably deemed necessary by Bank in order to grant and continue a valid, first perfected security interest to Bank in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under the Loan Agreement).  Each New Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to any Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either any Borrower or any other Person, may be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.  Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.
5.    SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS.  Borrower (in each case including, without limitation, each New Borrower) waives any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law.  Borrower (in each case, including, without limitation, each New Borrower) waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, Borrower irrevocably subordinates to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of Bank’s commitment to make Credit Extensions to Borrower and agrees not to assert or enforce prior to the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Bank’s commitment to make Credit Extensions to Borrower, all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Agreement), to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by any Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise.  If any payment is made to any Borrower in contravention of this section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.  Any Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions under the Loan Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes under the Loan Agreement, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions thereunder.  Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, regardless of which Borrower actually received said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower directly received all Credit Extensions.
6.    CONSENT TO MERGER.  Borrower has notified Bank that Innovations, API, and API Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Innovations (“Merger Sub”), have entered into a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of January 30, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into API, with API continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).  Upon the consummation of the Merger, API will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Innovations.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.3 (Mergers or Acquisitions), Section 7.4 (Indebtedness), Section 7.7 (Distributions; Investments), Section 7.8 (Transactions with Affiliates) or any other provisions of the Loan Agreement to the contrary, Bank hereby consents to Borrower and API consummating the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that no Default or Event of Default exists prior to the consummation of the Merger, and no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately after the consummation of the Merger (after giving effect to the consent provided in this Loan Modification Agreement).  The foregoing consent applies only to the Merger, and is not a consent to or waiver of any subsequent application of the same provisions of the Loan Agreement, nor is it a waiver of any breach 





of any other provision of the Loan Agreement.  This consent does not establish a course of dealing upon which Borrower may rely on in the future.
