and singular, the terms and conditions of a certain Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of December 29, 2003, between Borrower and Bank, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees that said Intellectual Property Security Agreement contains
an accurate and complete listing of all Intellectual Property Collateral as defined in said Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and shall remain in full force and effect.

disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate dated as of December 29, 2003, between Borrower and Bank, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information above Borrower provided to Bank in the Perfection Certificate
has not changed, as of the date hereof.

thereby includes, without limitation, the Obligations. 
  
 9. NO DEFENSES OF
BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses,
claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder. 
  
 10. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the
existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing
Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the
Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly
released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. 
  
 11. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank (provided, however, in no event shall this Loan Modification Agreement
become effective until signed by an officer of Bank in California).
