2.             CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

2.1           Grant of Security Interest. Debtor hereby grants Bank, to secure
the payment and performance in full of all of the Debtor Obligations, a
continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever
located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds
and products thereof. Debtor represents, warrants, and covenants that the
security interests granted herein are and shall at all times continue to be
first priority perfected security interests in the Collateral (subject in lien
priority only to those Permitted Liens that are expressly entitled to such
priority over the security interests of Bank by operation of law or by written
subordination agreement duly executed and delivered by Bank in favor of the
holders of such Permitted Liens). If Debtor shall acquire a commercial tort
claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Debtor 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.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may liquidate Debtor’s Collateral and
apply such funds toward repayment of the Debtor Obligations.  Such liquidation shall not be deemed a
set-off.

 

2.2           Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. 
Debtor will from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the
request of Bank, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may
reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the
perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral.  Debtor
authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Debtor, in all appropriate
jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, to perfect or protect Bank’s interest
in the Collateral of Debtor.

 

3.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Debtor represents
and warrants as follows:

 

3.1           Due Organization and Qualification. 
Debtor is duly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business in, and
is in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.

 

3.2           Due Authorization; No Conflict. 
The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement are within
Debtor’s powers, have been duly authorized, and neither conflict with nor
constitute a breach of any provision contained in Debtor’s formation documents
or bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material
agreement to which Debtor is a party or by which Debtor is bound.

 

3.3           No Prior Encumbrances. Debtor has good title to the Collateral, free and
clear of any liens, security interests, or other encumbrances, except Permitted
Liens.

 

3.4           Litigation. Except as disclosed to Bank in writing, there are no
actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible
Officers, threatened in writing by or against Debtor involving more than
$100,000 or more in the aggregate.

 

3.5           Solvency.  The
incurrence of Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement will not cause Debtor
to (a) become insolvent; (b) be left with unreasonably small capital
for any business or transaction in which Debtor is presently engaged or plans
to be engaged; or (c) be unable to pay its debts as such debts mature.

 

4

 

3.6           Perfection Certificate.  All
information set forth on the Perfection Certificate with respect to Debtor is

Debtor covenants
and agrees that, until the Debtor Obligations (other than inchoate
indemnification obligations) are fully and finally paid and performed, Debtor
shall do all of the following:

 

4.1           Good Standing. Maintain its legal existence and good standing in
its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction
in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change.

 

4.2           Government Compliance. Comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations to
which it is subject, noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change.

Loan Agreement (which Section by this reference is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis).

payment of all foreign, federal, state, and local taxes or assessments (other

such payments.

 

4.5           Audit of Collateral. Allow Bank to audit Debtor’s Collateral at Borrower’s
or Debtor’s expense, in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement.

Property; and (c) not allow any Intellectual Property to be abandoned,

States Copyright Office (collectively, the “Registered Copyrights”).  Debtor will NOT register with the United
States Copyright Office (or apply for such registration of) any of Debtor’s
maskworks, computer software, or other copyrights, unless Debtor: (x) provides
Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of its intent to
register such copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application
it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits
thereto); (y) executes and delivers a security agreement or such other
documents as Bank may reasonably request to maintain the perfection and
priority of Bank’s security interest in the copyrights or mask works intended
to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) records
such security agreement with the United States Copyright Office
contemporaneously with filing the copyright or mask work application(s) with
the United States Copyright Office. 
Debtor shall promptly provide to Bank a copy of the application(s) actually
filed with the United States Copyright Office together with evidence of the
recording of the security agreement necessary for Bank to maintain the
perfection and priority of its security interest in the copyrights or mask
works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office. Debtor
hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Debtor does not
own any patents and trademarks of Debtor that are registered (or the subject of
an application for registration) with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. From and after the Effective Date, Debtor shall provide written notice
to Bank of any application filed by Debtor in the United States Patent

after any such filing, and, upon the request of Bank, Debtor shall promptly
execute and deliver a security agreement or such other documents as Bank may
reasonably request with respect to such additional patents and/or trademarks of
Debtor that are registered (or the subject of an application for registration)
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The foregoing
notwithstanding, Bank shall not acquire any interest in any intent to use a

on Debtor’s behalf prior to the filing under applicable law of a verified
statement of use (or equivalent) for such mark that is the subject of such
application.

election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more
of the following, all of which are authorized by Debtor:

 

(a)           Exercise all
rights available to it under the Code and applicable law;

 

(b)           Set off and apply to the obligations any and all (i) balances
and deposits of Debtor held by Bank or in which Bank acts as custodian, or (ii) indebtedness
at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Debtor held by Bank;
and

 

(c)           Sell all or any part of the Collateral at either a
public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or
transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places
(including Debtor’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable in
accordance with the Code.

 

7.2           Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s rights
and remedies under the Loan Agreement and any documents related thereto, the
Guaranty, and this Agreement shall be cumulative.  Bank shall have all other rights and remedies
not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in
equity.  No exercise by Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Debtor’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver,
election, or acquiescence by it.

 

7.3           Demand; Protest.  Except to the
extent expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Guaranty, Debtor waives
demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which
Debtor may in any way be liable.

 

7.4           Power of Attorney.  Debtor hereby
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:  (a) endorse Debtor’s name on any checks
or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Debtor’s name on any
invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) make,
settle, and adjust all claims under Debtor’s insurance policies; (d) pay,
contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse
claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take
any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (e) transfer the
Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits.  Debtor hereby appoints Bank as its lawful
attorney-in-fact to sign Debtor’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or
continue the perfection of Bank’s security

interest in the
Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all
Debtor Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed.  Bank’s foregoing appointment as Debtor’s
attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an
interest, are irrevocable until all Debtor Obligations have been fully and
finally paid and performed.

 

7.5           Bank Expenses.  If Debtor
fails to pay any amount due hereunder or furnish any required proof of payment
to third persons in connection with the Collateral, Bank may make all or part
of the payment and take any action Bank deems prudent.  Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses
and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate
and secured by the Collateral.  No
payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future
or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default. 
After the sale of any of the Collateral, Bank may deduct all reasonable
legal and other expenses and attorneys’ fees for preserving, collecting,
selling and delivering the Collateral and for enforcing its rights with respect
to the Debtor Obligations, and shall apply the remainder of the proceeds to the
Debtor Obligations in such manner as Bank in its reasonable discretion shall
determine, and shall pay the balance, if any, to Debtor.

 

7.6           Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the
possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or
responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss
or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the
Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman,
bailee, or other Person.  Debtor bears
all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

8.             NOTICES

 

Unless otherwise
provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the
notice provision set forth in the Guaranty.

 

9.             CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL
REFERENCE

 

California law
governs this Agreement without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Debtor and Bank submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to
preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other
jurisdiction to realize on any collateral or any other security for the
Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Debtor expressly submits and consents in
advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court,
and Debtor hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of
personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby
consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed
appropriate by such court.  Debtor hereby
waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in
such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and
other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Debtor
at the address for notice set forth in the Guaranty and that service so made
shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Debtor’s actual receipt
thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage
prepaid.

 

TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEBTOR AND BANK WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS
AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTY, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION,
INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY

 

9

 

AND ALL OTHER
CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS
WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

 

WITHOUT INTENDING
IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable,
the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any
nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a
private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by
the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court)
appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638
(or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls
within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a
jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the
jurisdiction of such court.  The
reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1,
inclusive.  The private judge shall have
the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without
limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and
permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. 
All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and
all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party
desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that
point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply
to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall
be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of
evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. 
The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in
the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery
applicable to judicial proceedings.  The
private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and
order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court
judge.  The parties agree that the
selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues
in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a
statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil
Procedure § 644(a).  Nothing in this
paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help
remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all
issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of
this paragraph

 

10.           GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

10.1         Successors and Assigns.  This
Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns
of each party. Debtor may not assign this Agreement or any rights under it
without Bank’s prior written consent which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s
reasonable discretion.  Bank has the
right, without the consent of or notice to Debtor, to sell, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in,
Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement.

 

10.2         Indemnification.
Debtor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or
representing Bank harmless against:  (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted
by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank
from, following, or arising from transactions between Bank and Debtor
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or
losses directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 10.2
shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

10

 

10.3         Time of Essence.  Time is of
the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

10.4         Severability of Provisions. 
Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision
in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

10.5         Amendments in Writing, Integration. 
All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by the
parties hereto.  This Agreement and the
Guaranty represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede
prior negotiations or agreements.  All
prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations
between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement merge into this
Agreement and the Guaranty.

 

10.6         Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered,
are an original, and all taken together, are one Agreement.

 

10.7         Survival.  All
covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in
full force while any obligations remain outstanding.  The obligations of Debtor in Section 10.2
to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions
that may be brought against Bank have run.

 

10.8         Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. 
In any action or proceeding between Debtor and Bank arising out of the
Guaranty or this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition
to any other relief to which it may be entitled, whether or not a lawsuit is
filed.

 

10.9         Disclosure of Information; Borrower Collateral. 
Debtor acknowledges that it has, independently of and without reliance
on Bank, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and the assets pledged by
Borrower to Bank under the Loan Agreement, if any (the “Borrower Collateral”),
performed its own legal review of this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Loan
Agreement and all related documents and filings, and is not relying on Bank
with respect to any of the aforesaid items. 
Debtor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower, on a
continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to Borrower’s
financial condition and the value of the Borrower Collateral and status of Bank’s
lien on and in the Borrower Collateral. 
Debtor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts,
events or circumstances which might in any way affect Debtor’s risks hereunder
or under the Guaranty, and Debtor further agrees that Bank shall have no
obligation to disclose to Debtor information or material with respect to
Borrower or the Borrower Collateral acquired in the course of Bank’s relationship
with Borrower.  Bank makes no
representation, express or implied, with respect to the Borrower Collateral or
its interest in, or the priority or perfection of its lien on and in the
Borrower Collateral.  Debtor acknowledges
that its obligation hereunder will not be affected by (a) Bank’s failure
properly to create a lien on or in the Borrower Collateral, (b) Bank’s
failure to create or maintain a priority with respect to the lien purported to
be created in the Borrower Collateral, or (c) any act or omission of Bank
(whether negligent or otherwise) which adversely affects the value of the
Borrower Collateral or Bank’s lien thereon or the priority of such lien.

 

10.10       Joint and Several.  If two or
more Debtors are liable under the terms hereof for the same obligation, then
such liability shall be joint and several.

 

10.11       Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall
exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary
information, but disclosure of information may be

 

11

 

made: (a) to Bank’s
Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers
of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or
purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by
law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as
otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as
Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and
(f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service
providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no
less restrictive than those contained herein. 
Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is
in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes
part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed
to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is
prohibited from disclosing the information.

 

Bank may use
confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for
the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis,
so long as Bank does not disclose Debtor’s identity or the identity of any
person associated with Debtor unless otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 10.11
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. 
EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, IF THE ABOVE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IS NOT ENFORCEABLE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OR
CONTROVERSIES

 

3

 

OF ANY
NATURE BETWEEN THEM ARISING AT ANY TIME SHALL BE DECIDED BY A REFERENCE TO A
PRIVATE JUDGE, MUTUALLY SELECTED BY THE PARTIES (OR, IF THEY CANNOT AGREE, BY
THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT)
APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638
(OR PURSUANT TO COMPARABLE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW IF THE DISPUTE FALLS
WITHIN THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURTS), SITTING WITHOUT A
JURY, IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND THE PARTIES HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT.  THE
REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE §§ 638 THROUGH 645.1,
INCLUSIVE.  THE PRIVATE JUDGE SHALL HAVE

LIMITATION, ENTERING TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS, ISSUING PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT
INJUNCTIONS AND APPOINTING RECEIVERS. 
ALL SUCH PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND CONFIDENTIAL AND
ALL RECORDS RELATING THERETO SHALL BE PERMANENTLY SEALED.  IF DURING THE COURSE OF ANY DISPUTE, A PARTY
DESIRES TO SEEK PROVISIONAL RELIEF, BUT A JUDGE HAS NOT BEEN APPOINTED AT THAT
POINT PURSUANT TO THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEDURES, THEN SUCH PARTY MAY APPLY

BE CONDUCTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS IT WOULD BE BEFORE A COURT UNDER THE RULES
OF EVIDENCE APPLICABLE TO JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. 
THE PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO DISCOVERY WHICH SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN
THE SAME MANNER AS IT WOULD BE BEFORE A COURT UNDER THE RULES OF DISCOVERY
APPLICABLE TO JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.  THE
PRIVATE JUDGE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY AND MAY ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY RULES
AND ORDER APPLICABLE TO JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE SAME MANNER AS A TRIAL
COURT JUDGE.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE
SELECTED OR APPOINTED PRIVATE JUDGE SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ALL ISSUES
IN THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER OF FACT OR OF LAW, AND SHALL REPORT A
STATEMENT OF DECISION THEREON PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE § 644(A).  NOTHING IN THIS
PARAGRAPH SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE SELF-HELP
REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL, OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES.  THE PRIVATE JUDGE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL
ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS
PARAGRAPH.
