	(c) Definitions.	 	For purposes of the foregoing financial covenants, the following term shall have the following meaning:
	 	 	 
	 	 	
			“Tangible Net Worth” shall mean Total Assets less Total Liabilities, determined in accordance with GAAP. In determining Tangible Net Worth, the following adjustments may be made: (i) the amount of a material “one-time” adjustment to Inventory required by Borrower’s auditors due to obsolescence or similar causes may be added back to Total Assets; (ii) any material charge required by Borrower’s auditors to be taken for non-cash stock compensation that adversely affects Tangible Net Worth may be added or subtracted, as the case may be, in the calculation of Tangible Net Worth, and (iii) revenue recognition will be determined under ASC-606. For purposes of the above, above, a “one-time” adjustment would not include a monthly, quarterly or annually-recurring adjustment, and the term “material” means an adjustment that would be required to be disclosed in an annual or quarterly filing (10K or 10Q) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.     

			
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Total Assets” is on any day, the total assets, tangible and intangible of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Total Liabilities” is on any day, obligations that should, under GAAP, be classified as liabilities on Borrower’s consolidated balance sheet, including all Indebtedness.



 



 




 




 


	 	 	“Revenues” means receipts from customers in the ordinary course of business for the sale of goods and services and required to be recognized as revenues in accordance with GAAP, net of discounts and refunds. For purposes of the foregoing definition, if Borrower (with the consent of PFG) sells (or acquires) a revenue-generating entity, business unit or product line, the parties shall equitably adjust the Revenue thresholds set forth above to reflect the loss of (or accretive gain in) the associated Revenues generated by such entity, business unit or product line.

“ “ASC xxx” where “xxx” are numeric references corresponding to the referenced codified provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board; for example, ASC 605 would mean FASB Accounting Standards code section 605 entitled “Revenue Recognition” and ASC 606 would mean FASB Accounting Standards code section 606 entitled “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ”


 


(e)     Compliance Certificate. The Compliance Certificate is replaced in its entirety and superseded with the form appended hereto as Exhibit A.


 


(f)     PFG Address. The street address referenced in the Loan Documents is hereby amended to read “1751 Tiburon Blvd., Tiburon, CA 94920”.


 


4.      CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in conditionally modifying the existing Obligations, PFG is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties and agreements as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Third Modification, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. PFG's agreement to modify the existing Obligations in no way shall obligate PFG to give any future consents or waivers or make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Third Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Loan Documents. It is the intention of PFG and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers, if any, of the Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by PFG in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Third Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Third Modification, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

(i)      as of the Third Modification Effective Date, Borrower has not asserted any commercial tort claims against any Person and has no Knowledge of any basis for so doing; and
