PROMISE
TO PAY.  I promise to pay to Silicon
Valley Bancshares (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of One Million & 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00), together with interest at the rate of 3.450% per annum on the
unpaid principal balance from January 22, 2003, until paid in full.  The interest rate will not increase above
25.000%.

 

PAYMENT.  I will pay this loan in 59 regular payments of
$4,462.58 each and one irregular last payment estimated at $900,660.95.  My first payment is due March 1, 2003, and
all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that.  My final payment due February 1, 2008, will
be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid.  Payments include principal and
interest.  Interest on this
Note is computed on a 30/360 simple interest basis; that is, with the exception
of odd days in the first payment period, monthly interest is calculated by
applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by a month of 30
days. Interest for the odd days is calculated on the basis of the actual days
to the next full month and a 360-day year. 
I will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place
as Lender may designate in writing. 
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be
applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining
amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

 

PREPAYMENT.  I agree that all
loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of
the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether
voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law.  Except for the foregoing, I may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve me of my obligation to continue to make payments
under the payment schedule.  Rather,
they will reduce the principal balance due and may result in me making fewer
payments.

 

DEFAULT.  I will be in
default if any of the following happens: 
(a) I fail to make any payment when due.  (b) I break any promise I have made to Lender, or I fail to
comply with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or
condition contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in
any other agreement or loan I have with Lender.  (c) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender
by me or on my behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now
or at the time made or furnished.  (d) I
die or become insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of my property, I
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced
either by me or against me under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.  (e) Any creditor tries to take any of my
property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest.  This includes a garnishment of any of my
accounts with Lender.  (f) Any of the
events described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor
of this Note.

 

LENDER’S
RIGHTS. 
Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on
this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without notice, and
then I will pay that amount.  Upon my
failure to pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including
failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if
permitted under applicable law, increase the interest rate on this Note 5.000
percentage points. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this
Note if I do not pay.  I also will pay Lender
that amount.  This includes, subject to
any limits under applicable law, Lender’s attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal
expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any 

 

 

automatic stay or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. I
also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by
law.  This
Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of
California.  If there is a lawsuit, I
agree upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of
Santa Clara County, the State of California. 
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of California.

 

COLLATERAL.  I acknowledge
this Note is secured by a Deed of Trust dated January 16, 2003, to a trustee in
favor of Lender on real property located in San Mateo County, State of
California.  That agreement contains the
following due on sale provision:  Lender
may, at its option, declare immediately due and payable all sums secured by
this Note upon the sale or transfer, without the Lender’s prior written
consent, of all or any part of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real
Property.  A “sale or transfer” means
the conveyance of Real Property or any right, title or interest therein;
whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary;
whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract,
contract for deed, leasehold interest with a term greater than three (3) years,
lease-option contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial
interest in or to any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any
other method of conveyance of Real Property interest.  If any Trustor is a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company, transfer also includes any change in ownership of more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock, partnership interests or limited
liability company interests, as the case may be, of Trustor.  However, this option shall not be exercised
by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by applicable law.

 

NOTE
RATE. 
The interest rate on this Note is 3.45%.  In the event Greg Becker’s employment with Lender terminates, I
acknowledge and agree that the interest rate shall increase to the Note Rate of
5.45% per annum (the “Note Rate”) effective the first day of the month
following such termination of employment. 
In such case the monthly payments will increase to $5,646.56 and my annual
percentage rate shall be 5.487%. 
Additionally, the last payment shall increase accordingly.

 

BALLOON
PAYMENT. 
THIS LOAN IS PAYABLE IN FULL AT MATURITY.  YOU MUST THEN REPAY THE ENTIRE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS LOAN AND
ALL UNPAID INTEREST THEN DUE.

 

GENERAL
PROVISIONS. 
Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under
this Note without losing them.  I and
any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent
allowed by law, waive any applicable statute of limitations, presentment,
demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor.  Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise
expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker,
guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from
liability.  All such parties agree that
Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan,
or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize
upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral.  All such parties also agree that Lender may
modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the
party with whom the modification is made. 
The obligations under this Note are joint and several.  This means that the words “I”, “me”, and
“my” mean each and all of the persons signing below.

 

PRIOR
TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, I, AND EACH OF US, READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS NOTE.  I, AND EACH OF US, AGREE
TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THE
NOTE.

determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all persons.

 

4.                                      ELIGIBILITY

 

Each Member shall
be eligible to receive Awards for any Fiscal Year under the Plan, so long as he

months.

 

5.                                  PLAN
POOL; CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL TARGET

 

(a)                                  Plan Pool.  All Awards under this Plan shall be made
from the Plan Pool, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.  The size of the Plan Pool for each Fiscal
Year shall be determined by the Committee, based upon the corporate targets and
the individual payout targets for such Fiscal Year as determined pursuant to
Section 5(b) below.  The Committee may,
at its discretion, also establish a minimum and/or maximum pool size.  For accounting purposes, the Plan Pool shall

underachievement or overachievement).

capital structure, the manner in which it conducts business or any other change
to be extraordinary and material and determines that, as a result of such
change, the Plan Pool or any corporate target is no longer appropriate for such
Fiscal Year, it may modify such Plan Pool or corporate target, as it deems
appropriate and equitable in its discretion.

6.                                  PAYMENT
OF AWARDS

 

(a)                                  Determination of Actual Awards.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
actual Awards to each Member under the Plan for each Fiscal Year shall be based
on: (i) the extent of achievement of the applicable corporate targets as
determined pursuant to Section 5(b) above, and (ii) the Member’s individual
payout targets.  All Awards are subject
to adjustment, based on the Committee’s assessment of the Member’s contributions
and performance during the applicable Fiscal Year (including the adherence of
such Member to the Company’s Guiding Principles).

 

As soon as
practicable after the Fiscal Year (but before March 1 of such year), the
Committee shall confirm the extent to which the applicable corporate targets
were achieved, along with the amounts of the actual Awards to be paid to each
Member.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Awards.  Subject to Section 6(d) below, Awards under
the Plan shall be paid in cash to Members on or before March 1 following the
end of the applicable Fiscal Year.  If a
Member under the Plan serves as a member of the Steering Committee for only a
portion of the applicable Fiscal Year, such Member may be entitled to receive a
prorated Award, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

(c)                                  Discretionary Awards.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Fiscal Year, the Committee may
make such other or additional Awards to any Member under the Plan as it deems
appropriate, so long as the aggregate Awards made under the Plan do not exceed
the maximum Plan Pool (if a maximum has been established by the Committee).

 

(d)                               Termination of Employment.  A Member shall have no right to any Award
under the Plan for any Fiscal Year if such Member is not actively employed by
the Company or its Affiliates on the date on which Awards are actually paid for
such Fiscal Year, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. A transfer of
employment between the Company and any of its Affiliates shall not be deemed a
termination of employment.

 

6.                                      WITHHOLDING.

 

The Company or
any Affiliate shall withhold from the payment of any Award hereunder any amount
required to be withheld for taxes.

 

7.                                      NO
RIGHTS TO EMPLOYMENT.

 

Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Member’s employment at any
time, nor confer upon any Member any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any Affiliate.

 

3

 

8.                                      NO
ASSIGNMENT; CERTAIN RIGHTS OF MEMBERS.

 

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any interest, benefit,
payment, claim or right of any participant under the Plan shall not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or hypothecated by any Member and shall
not be subject in any manner in to any claims of any creditor of any Member or
beneficiary, and any attempt to take any such action shall be null and
void.  During the lifetime of any
Member, payment of an Award shall only be made to such Member.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
may establish such procedures as it deems necessary for a Member to designate a
beneficiary to whom any amounts would be payable in the event of any Member’s
death.

 

To the extent a Member or other person acquires a right to receive
payment with respect to an Award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than
the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or any
Affiliate.  All amounts payable under
the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and no special or
separate fund or deposit shall be established and no segregation of assets
shall be made to assure payment of such amounts.

 

9.                                      SUSPENSION,
REVISION, AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

 

The Committee may, from time to time, suspend, revise, amend or
terminate the Plan.

 

10.                               GOVERNING
LAW.

 

The Plan shall be governed by the laws of California.
