	Date:	 	September 27, 2004

  
 THIS AMENDMENT TO
LOAN DOCUMENTS is entered into between Silicon Valley Bank (“Silicon”) and the borrower named above (“Borrower”). 
  
 The Parties agree to amend the Loan and Security Agreement between them, dated September 27, 2004 (as otherwise amended, if at all, the “Loan
Agreement”), as follows, effective as of the date hereof. (Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.) 
  
 1. Amendment to Advance Rate. The clause in Section 1 of the Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement that currently
reads as follows: 
  
 An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i)
$6,000,000 at any one time outstanding (the “Maximum Credit Limit”), or (ii) 80% (an “Advance Rate”) of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (as defined in Section 8 above). 
  
 is hereby amended to read as follows: 
  
 An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) $6,000,000 at any one time
outstanding (the “Maximum Credit Limit”), or (ii) 80% (an “Advance Rate”) of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (as defined in Section 8 above); provided, however, if Borrower’s Adjusted Quick
Ratio (as defined below), determined on a consolidated basis, is less than 0.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any given month, then such Advance Rate shall be 75% of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts until such time as Borrower’s
Adjusted Quick Ratio, determined on a consolidated basis, equals or exceeds 0.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any given month in which instance, the Advance Rate will revert to 80% of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts. 
  
 2. Amendment to Interest Rate. The clause in Section 2 of the Schedule
to Loan and Security Agreement that currently reads as follows: 
  
 Interest Rate (Section 1.2): 
  
 A rate equal to
the “Prime Rate” in effect from time to time, plus 1.0% per annum, provided that the interest rate in effect on any day shall not be less than 5.5% per annum. Interest shall be calculated 
  

 -1- 

 Silicon Valley BankAmendment to Loan Agreement 
  
 on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. As
used in this Agreement, “Prime Rate” means the interest rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its “prime rate” (which is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the best
rate available at Silicon). The interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate. 
  
 is hereby amended to read as follows: 
  
 Interest Rate (Section 1.2): 
  
 A rate equal to the “Prime Rate” in effect from time to time, plus 1.0% per annum, provided, however, if Borrower’s Adjusted
Quick Ratio, determined on a consolidated basis, is less than 0.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any given month, then a rate equal to the “Prime Rate” in effect from time to time, plus 2.0% per annum until such time as Borrower’s Adjusted
Quick Ratio, determined on a consolidated basis, equals or exceeds 0.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any given month in which instance, the applicable interest rate will revert to a rate equal to the “Prime Rate” in effect from time to time,
plus 1.0% per annum, provided, further, that the interest rate in effect on any day shall not be less than 5.5% per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. As used in
this Agreement, “Prime Rate” means the interest rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its “prime rate” (which is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the best rate
available at Silicon). The interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate. 
  
 3. Amendment to Adjusted Quick Ratio Financial Covenant. The Adjusted Quick Ratio Financial Covenant set forth in Section 5 of the Schedule to Loan
and Security Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 
  

			
	 Adjusted
	 	 
	 Quick Ratio:
	 	 For the month ending August 31, 2004 and for each month ending thereafter through the month ending June 30, 2005, Borrower shall maintain an Adjusted Quick
Ratio of not less than 0.75 to 1.0; provided, however, if Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio is less than 0.75 to 1.0 but at least 0.65 to 1.0, then such violation will not be deemed an Event of Default, however, the adjustments to
the Advance Rate and Interest Rate will go into effect. Adjustments to the Advance Rate and Interest Rate will be effective upon the receipt by Silicon of Borrower’s financial statements evidencing Borrower’s Adjusted
Quick

  

 -2- 

 Silicon Valley BankAmendment to Loan Agreement 
  

					
	 	  	 	  	Ratio has dropped to between 0.75 to 1.0 and 0.65 to 1.0, or has risen to equal or exceed 0.75 to 1.0, as applicable. For example, if Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio dropped to 0.70 to
1.0 for the month ending November 30, 2004, then upon Silicon’s receipt of Borrower’s financial statements evidencing Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio, the adjustments to the Advance Rate (80% to 75%) and Interest Rate (Prime Rate plus
1.0% per annum to Prime Rate plus 2.0% per annum) would go into effect. Similarly, if Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio then rises to 0.75 to 1.0 for the month ending January 31, 2005, then upon Silicon’s receipt of Borrower’s financial
statements evidencing Borrower’s Adjusted Quick Ratio, the adjustments to the Advance Rate (75% to 80%) and Interest Rate (Prime Rate plus 2.0% per annum to Prime Rate plus 1.0% per annum) would go into effect; and
			
	 	  	 	  	For the month ending July 31, 2005 and for each month ending thereafter, Borrower shall maintain an Adjusted Quick Ratio of not less than 0.75 to 1.0.

  
 4. Fee. In
consideration for Silicon entering into this Amendment, Borrower shall concurrently pay Silicon a fee in the amount of $6,250, which shall be non-refundable and in addition to all interest and other fees payable to Silicon under the Loan Documents.
Silicon is authorized to charge said fee to Borrower’s loan account. 
  
 5. Representations True. Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon that all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct (except to the extent that
such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date). 
  
 6. General Provisions. This Amendment, the Loan Agreement, any prior written amendments to the Loan Agreement signed by Silicon and Borrower, and
the other written documents and agreements between Silicon and Borrower set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions, representations,
agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject hereof. Except as herein expressly amended, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, and all other documents and agreements between Silicon and Borrower
shall continue in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed.

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties
hereby agree as follows:

Termination Date, as an officer and employee of the Company and from any and all other positions Employee holds with the Company and any subsidiary or affiliated entity of the Company. 
  

 -1- 

 2. Consideration. 
  
 (a) Additional Payments. The Company agrees to pay Employee at the rate of Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000.00) per
month, less applicable withholding, for three months from the first regular payroll date following the Effective Date (the “Payment Period”) in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. 
  
 (b) No Other Payments. Other than the Company’s obligations under
this Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to any other wages, salaries, bonuses, compensation or other form of payment pursuant to the Employment Agreement or any other agreement between Company and Employee. 
  
 (c) Stock Vesting. The Parties agree that for purposes of determining
the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that Employee is entitled to purchase from the Company pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, the Employee will be considered to have vested only up to the Termination Date. Employee
acknowledges that, as of the Termination Date, he will have vested in, and be entitled to exercise and acquire, an aggregate of 298,611 shares of Common Stock under the Stock Agreements (excluding the 2003 Option discussed in Section 1(d) below).

 (d) Acceleration;
Special Bonus; Option to Exercise. The Company agrees to accelerate vesting with respect to all unvested shares subject to Option Number N190 0803, dated August 6, 2003 (the “2003 Option”), such that the 2003 Option will be
immediately exercisable for all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof. In addition, on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 25), the Company will pay Employee a one-time bonus of $41,875.00, subject to applicable withholding
(the “Special Bonus”), provided, however, that Employee has elected to exercise the 2003 Option for all shares issuable upon exercise thereof on or before 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the Effective Date. In the event
of Employee’s election to exercise the 2003 Option, Employee hereby authorizes and directs the Company to withhold from the Special Bonus an amount totaling $31,205.00, representing Employee’s payment of the aggregate exercise price
therefor. Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event he has not, prior to 5:00 p.m. (California Time) on the Effective Date, taken all actions necessary to exercise the 2003 Option in accordance with the applicable Stock Agreement (other
than delivery of the purchase price therefor, which will be withheld from the Special Bonus), then the Company’s obligation to pay the Special Bonus shall immediately expire with no further force or effect.

 (e) COBRA; Benefits; Reimbursement. Employee’s Company-sponsored health insurance benefits
will cease on the Termination Date. Employee and each eligible dependent who constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will be eligible to continue coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA. Employee acknowledges that the Company has provided him with information concerning his obligations
and time requirements to secure COBRA benefits. Should Employee elect to purchase insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Employee for up to three (3) months of Employee’s COBRA payment obligation upon Employee’s
delivery of evidence of payment therefor. Employee agrees that any obligation to provide COBRA benefits or reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph shall cease immediately upon Employee’s securing new employment with substantially
similar benefits. Except as described in this Agreement, Employee’s participation in all other benefits and incidents of employment ceased on the Termination Date. 
  
 (f) Tax Treatment. The Company will report to the Internal Revenue Service the payments described in
this section as taxable income to the Employee. 
  
 3.
Confidential Information. Employee shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company and shall continue to comply with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement,
which shall remain in full force and effect. Employee shall return all of the Company’s property and confidential and proprietary information in his possession to the Company on the Termination Date. 
  
 4. Final Check; Reimbursements. Employee acknowledges receipt of a
check made payable to Employee, representing satisfaction in full of the Company’s payment obligation to Employee (subject to applicable withholding) for accrued salary, wages, bonuses or other compensation, including, without limitation, all
amounts owing for accrued vacation or “paid time off” through the Termination Date and Employee’s earned bonus as of the Termination Date. Employee has submitted all receipts and other documentation for expenses incurred on behalf of
the Company through the Termination Date that are reimbursable in accordance with the Company’s policies. 
  
 5. Release of Claims; Covenant Not to Sue. Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding
obligations owed to Employee by the Company and its officers, managers, supervisors, agents, and employees. Employee, on his own behalf, and on behalf of his respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, custodians, successors, and assigns,
hereby fully and forever releases the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns, from, and agrees not to
sue concerning, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee or his heirs, family members, 
  

 -3- 

 executors, agents, custodians, successors, or assigns may possess arising from any omissions, acts, or facts that have
occurred up until and including the Effective Date, including, without limitation:

 (b) any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of, shares of
stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or federal law; 
  
 (c) any and all claims under the law of any jurisdiction including, but not
limited to, wrongful discharge of employment; constructive discharge from employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both
express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business
practices; defamation; libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and conversion; 
  
 (d) any and all claims for violation of any federal, state, or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, The Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and California Labor Code Section 201, et. seq., and Section 970, et. seq.

 Employee agrees that the release set forth in this section
shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement.

pursued by Employee in violation of this provision. 
  
 6.
Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims Under ADEA. Employee acknowledges that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is
knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree that this waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under ADEA after the Effective Date. Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and
release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that

 (b) he has up to forty-five (45) days within which to consider this
Agreement; 
  
 (c) he has seven (7) days following his execution
of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; 
  
 (d) this Agreement
shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired; and 
  
 (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing
so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. 
  
 7. Civil
Code Section 1542. Employee represents that he is not aware of any claim against the Company other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to seek the advice of legal counsel and
is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide as follows: 
  
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  
 Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law or judicial principles of similar effect. 
  
 8. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Employee represents that he has no
lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or

 any other person or entity referred to herein. Employee also represents that he does not intend to bring any claims on
his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any other person or entity referred to herein. 
  
 9. No Cooperation. Employee agrees he will not act in any manner that might damage the business of the Company. Employee agrees that he will not
counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against the Company and/or any officer, director, employee, agent,
representative, shareholder or attorney of the Company, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. Employee further agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any court order, subpoena, or any legal discovery device
that seeks or might require the disclosure or production of the existence or terms of this Agreement, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or legal discovery device to the Company. 
  
 10. Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from any defamation,
libel or slander of the Company or tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the Company. 
  
 11. No Admission of Liability. The Parties understand and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of disputed
claims. No action taken by the Parties hereto, or either of them, either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be: (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made or (b) an
acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or to any third party. 
  
 12. No Knowledge of Wrongdoing. Employee represents that he has no knowledge of any wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal
or state governmental agency, or any other wrongdoing that involves Employee or other present or former Company employees.

Employee under the terms of this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that he is responsible for payment, if any, of local, state and/or federal taxes on the sums paid hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon. Employee
further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of
Employee’s failure to pay federal or state taxes or damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
  
 14. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in

 15. Indemnification.
Employee agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all loss, costs, damages or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by the Company arising out of the breach of this
Agreement by Employee, or from any false representation made herein by Employee, or from any action or 
  

 -6- 

 proceeding which may be commenced, prosecuted or threatened by Employee or for Employee’s benefit, upon
Employee’s initiative, or with Employee’s aid or approval, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. Employee further agrees that in any such action or proceeding, this Agreement may be pled by the Company as a complete defense, or may
be asserted by way of counterclaim or cross-claim. 
  
 16.
Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of, or relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County
before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute
between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This section will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of
their dispute relating to Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 17. Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company
and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Each party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein. 
  
 18. No Representations. Each party represents that it has had the
opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not
specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 19.
Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision so long as
the remaining provisions remain intelligible and continue to reflect the original intent of the Parties. 
  
 20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject
matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s
relationship with the Company (including the Employment Agreement, which is hereby terminated), with the exception of the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall remain in full force and effect) and the Stock Agreements (which shall remain in full
force and effect except to the extent modified hereby). 
  

 -7- 

 21. No Waiver. The failure of any party to insist upon the performance of any of the terms and
conditions in this Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms or conditions. This entire Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect as if no such forbearance or failure of performance had occurred. 
  
 22. No Oral Modification. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement, or additional obligation assumed by either party in connection with this Agreement, shall be effective only if placed in writing and
signed by both Parties or by authorized representatives of each party. 
  
 23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of California, and it shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that either party seeks injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction for any claim relating to the alleged misuse or misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information, each party hereby consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of the State of California. 
  

24. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such an action. 
  
 25. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective after it has been
signed by both parties and after eight (8) days have passed since Employee has signed the Agreement (the “Effective Date”), unless revoked by Employee within seven (7) days after the date the Agreement was signed by Employee.

  
 26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 
  
 27. Voluntary Execution of Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue
influence on the part or behalf of the Parties hereto, with the full intent of releasing all claims. The Parties acknowledge that: 
  
 (a) They have read this Agreement; 
  
 (b) They have been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of their own choice or that they have
voluntarily declined to seek such counsel;

the terms and consequences of this Agreement and of the releases it contains; and
