    SECOND
AMENDMENT TO LEASE

    February
6, 2009

     

    This
Second Amendment to Lease ("Amendment") amends and
modifies that certain Lease dated March 25, 2004 and as amended April 1, 2004
between 2545
Central, LLC., a Colorado limited liability company as Landlord, and
Insmed
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, as Tenant for the Premises located
at 2590 Central Avenue, Boulder, CO 80301 (the “Lease”).

     

    Tenant
wishes to have added to its Lease additional options to extend its
Lease.  The Lease is hereby amended by the following additional and
modified provisions.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree that
the Lease is modified as follows:

     

    1. Amendment:
The Summary of Basic Lease Terms of the Lease and the Lease provisions
incorporating said Summary provisions, are amended by adding the following
specified items to said provisions of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms of the
Lease, which shall become effective February 1 2009:

     

    13.  Renewal
Options:  Upon the completion of the current renewal options
which ends on February 28, 2013 and provided that Tenant is not then in default
under the terms and conditions of this Lease and that Tenant has not been in
default more than once during the Lease Term, Tenant will have the options to
renew and extend this Lease for four (4) additional terms consisting of an
initial term of seven (7) years and ten (10) months followed by terms of five
(5) years (the “Renewal Terms”) each to commence at the conclusion of the then
current Term.  The Renewal Terms will be on the same terms,
provisions, and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the Rent
Schedule will be modified to the Renewal Rent Schedule indicated on the Summary
of Basic Lease Terms for the Renewal Terms.  Regarding the First
Renewal Schedule, Tenant must give Landlord written notice of its exercise of
the First Renewal no later than March 1, 2012.  Thereafter, tenant
must give Landlord written notice of its exercise of each of its options not
less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the then
current Term of the Lease.  The Lease will be renewed and extended as
provided in this paragraph upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s timely notice of
exercise. Failure to notify Landlord within such time period of the exercise of
these options will void the remaining options to renew, and the Lease shall
terminate at the conclusion of the then current Term.  The options
granted in this paragraph may not be transferred, assigned, or pledged by
Tenant; provided however, that an assignment of the Lease shall result in an
assignment of these options to the same entity.

have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Bank’s

other adjustments to Debtors (exclusive of extending the time for payment of
any item which shall not be done without first obtaining Bank’s written consent
in each instance) as Borrower may reasonably deem to accord with sound business
practice, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
accepting the return of all or any part of the inventory (subject to the

promptly at Bank’s request from time to time additional copies of any or all of
such papers or writings, and such other information with respect to any of the

will permit Bank and/or its representatives: (a) to examine, check, make
copies of or extracts from any of Borrower’s books, records and files
(including without limitation orders and original correspondence); (b) to
perform field exams or otherwise inspect and examine the Collateral and to

loans to purchase Collateral, the repayment of such loans shall be on a “first-in-first-out”
basis so that the portion of the loan used to purchase a particular item of
Collateral shall be repaid in the order in which Borrower purchased such item
of Collateral.

 

2.9                                 Search Reports. Bank shall receive prior to the date of

located, from the state, if any, where Borrower is organized and registered (as
such terms are used in the Code), and the state where Borrower’s chief

giving of notice to, or obtaining of any license, certificate or permit from, or
taking any other action with respect to any third party is required to be
obtained or provided in connection with (i) the due execution, delivery

statements (including interim and year-end financial statements that are
company prepared and/or CPA prepared), business income tax returns, borrowing
base certificates, accounts payable and receivable agings, financial statements
and tax returns. Borrower understands that Bank will rely on all financial
information, whenever provided, and that such information is a material
inducement to Bank to make, to continue to make, or otherwise extend credit
accommodations to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees to notify Bank in
writing of any Material Adverse Change. Borrower further understands and
acknowledges that there are criminal penalties for giving false financial
information to federally insured financial institutions.

 

3.19                           Environmental. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower nor
any of Borrower’s agents, employees or independent contractors (1) have
caused or are aware of a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials on
any of the premises or personal property owned or controlled by Borrower (“Controlled
Property”) or any property abutting Controlled Property (“Abutting Property”),
which could give rise to liability under any Environmental Law or any other
federal, state or local law, rule or regulation; (2) have arranged
for the transport of or transported any Hazardous Materials in a manner as to
violate, or result in potential liabilities under, any Environmental Law; (3) have
received any notice, order or demand from the Environmental Protection Agency or

aware of any inspection or investigation of any Controlled Property or Abutting
Property by any federal, state or local agency for possible violations of any
Environmental Law.

 

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower, nor any prior
owner, tenant or other occupant of any Controlled Property, committed or
omitted any act which caused the release of Hazardous Materials on such
Controlled Property which could give rise to a lien thereon by any federal,
state or local government. No notice or statement of claim or lien affecting
any Controlled Property has been recorded or filed in any public records by any
federal, state or local government for costs, penalties, fines or other charges
as to such property. All notices, permits, licenses or similar authorizations,
if any, required to be obtained or filed in connection with the ownership,
operation, or use of the Controlled Property, including without limitation the
past or present generation, treatment, storage, disposal or release of any
Hazardous Materials into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed.

harmless from all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorney
fees and costs of litigation, arising from any and all of its violations of any

or local government arising from the presence of Hazardous Materials) or from
the presence of Hazardous Materials located on or emanating from any Controlled
Property or Abutting Property whether existing or not existing and whether
known or unknown at the time of the execution hereof and regardless of whether
or not caused by, or within the control of Borrower. Borrower further agrees to

repayment of all debts to Bank and shall continue so long as a valid claim may
be lawfully asserted against Bank.

6.                                      STAND-BY LETTERS OF CREDIT
SUBLINE

 

The
Revolving Loan shall include a subline facility (the “Stand-By Letter of Credit
Subline”) for stand-by letters of credit (each, a “Stand-By Letter of Credit”
and, collectively, “Stand-By Letters of Credit”) for the account of Borrower.
So long as there is no Event of Default and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, Borrower may obtain Stand-By Letters of Credit from Bank on
a revolving basis. The Stand-By Letter of Credit Subline may be used for
obtaining Stand-By Letters of Credit with a maximum expiration date of October 1,
2010.

 

(a)                                  The
amount of all issued, outstanding and unexpired Stand-By Letters of Credit,
including amounts drawn on Stand-By Letters of Credit and not yet reimbursed by
Borrower to Bank, may not exceed $1,500,000.00.

 

(b)                                 The
amount of all issued, outstanding and unexpired Stand-By Letters of Credit,
including amounts drawn on Stand-By Letters of Credit and not yet reimbursed to
Bank, together with all other amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan,
shall not exceed $12,000,000.00.

 

16

 

(c)                                  Any
sum drawn under a Stand-By Letter of Credit shall, at Borrower’s election,
either be immediately reimbursed to Bank by Borrower or added to the principal
amount outstanding under the Revolving
Loan and shall be governed by the terms and conditions regarding the Revolving
Loan set forth in this Agreement. Any sum drawn under a Stand-By Letter
of Credit after the maturity of the Revolving Loan or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default shall be due with interest on demand and shall accrue
interest at the default rate of interest as provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 In
the event any Stand-By Letters of Credit are outstanding on October 1,
2010, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately
provide Bank with a written request for cancellation of the Stand-By Letter of
Credit from the beneficiary’s bank in form acceptable to Bank or deposit with
Bank, as cash collateral for the obligations of Borrower to reimburse Bank for
draws under such remaining outstanding Stand-By Letters of Credit, an amount
equal to the face amount of all such outstanding Stand-By Letters of Credit to
be applied to repay draws under such Stand-By Letters of Credit as and when
made. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in such cash
collateral.

 

(e)                                  The
issuance of any Stand-By Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Stand-By Letter
of Credit is subject to Bank’s written approval and such Stand-By Letter of
Credit, or any amendment thereto, must be in form and content satisfactory to
Bank and in favor of a beneficiary acceptable to Bank. Borrower will complete
with proper insertions, sign and deliver to Bank, Bank’s application and
agreement for each requested Stand-By Letter of Credit. Bank may refuse to
issue a Stand-By Letter of Credit or amendment to any Stand-By Letter of Credit
due to the nature or terms of the transaction for which the Stand-By Letter of
Credit is required or when applicable law, regulation or order prohibits the
issuance of the Stand-By Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(f)                                    Borrower
agrees that Bank may automatically charge Borrower’s deposit accounts with Bank
for applicable fees, discounts and other charges relating to any Stand-By
Letters of Credit, as well as for any reimbursement obligation hereunder, and
Borrower grants a security interest to Bank in any such accounts for such
purposes.

 

(g)                                 Borrower
will pay promptly Bank’s issuance, settlement and other fees (in accordance
with the prevailing California Bank & Trust Transaction Fee Schedule
as issued from time to time or such other current Bank publication) for
Stand-By Letters of Credit and all expenses incurred by Bank in connection
therewith.

 

(h)                                 Bank
shall have no obligation to enter a Stand-By Letter of Credit if there is an
uncured breach of Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement, any
Stand-By Letter of Credit or any other Obligation of Borrower to Bank.

 

7.                                      DEFAULT

“Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of any of the
following events:

 

(a)                                  failure

or any other term, liability, obligation, covenant or undertaking of Borrower
hereunder or under any of the other the Loan Documents (other than any default
or failure described in Section 7.1(a)) and such default or failure shall
continue for fifteen (15) days after Borrower becomes aware of such default or
failure or Bank gives Borrower written notice of such default or failure,
whichever occurs first, or, if such default or failure is of a nature that it
is not reasonably capable of being cured within such 15-day period, Borrower
shall have commenced the cure within such 15-day period and shall diligently
pursue such cure until completion, which shall not exceed sixty (60) days after
the cure has commenced;

 

(c)                                  failure
of Borrower to maintain aggregate Collateral value to the extent such failure results
in a Material Adverse Change;

 

17

 

(d)                                 an
event of default of any material liability, obligation or undertaking of
Borrower to any other party;

 

(e)                                  if
any statement, representation or warranty heretofore, now or hereafter made by
Borrower in connection with this Agreement or in any supporting financial
statement of Borrower shall be determined by Bank to have been false or
misleading in any material respect when made;

 

(f)                                    (i) the
liquidation, termination or dissolution of Borrower, (ii) the merger or
consolidation of Borrower into another entity, or the sale or transfer of any
ownership interest in Borrower, resulting in a Change in Control, (iii) Borrower’s
ceasing to carry on actively its present business or (iv) the appointment
of a receiver for its property;

 

(g)                                 the
institution by or against Borrower of any proceedings under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq., or any
other law in which Borrower is alleged to be insolvent or unable to pay its
debts as they mature, or the making by Borrower of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or the granting by Borrower of a trust mortgage for the
benefit of creditors;

 

(h)                                 a
judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $50,000 shall be
rendered against Borrower and any such judgment shall remain unsatisfied and in
effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of
execution;

 

(i)                                     any
levy, lien (including mechanics lien), seizure, attachment, execution or
similar process shall be issued or levied on any of the property of Borrower in
connection with any liability or claim in an amount equal to $50,000.00 or
more; or

 

(j)                                     the
occurrence of any change in the condition or affairs (financial or otherwise)
of Borrower or the occurrence of any other event or circumstance resulting in a
Material Adverse Change.

 

7.2                                 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default shall occur, at the election of Bank, all Obligations shall
become immediately due and payable without notice or demand, except with
respect to Obligations payable on demand, which shall be due and payable on
demand, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred. In addition, Bank may
require that Borrower remit to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 110%
of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at such
time, such cash collateral to be held by Bank in a cash collateral account on
terms and conditions satisfactory to Bank.

 

Bank is hereby authorized, at its election, after an Event of Default
or after demand, without any further demand or notice except to such extent as
notice may be required by applicable law, to take possession and/or sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale;
and Bank may also exercise any and all other rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code or which are otherwise accorded to it in equity or at law,
all as Bank may determine, and such exercise of rights in compliance with the
requirements of law will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral. If notice of
a sale or other action by Bank is required by applicable law, unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, Borrower agrees that ten (10) days
written notice to Borrower, or the shortest period of written notice permitted
by such law, whichever is smaller, shall be sufficient notice; and that to the
extent permitted by law, Bank, its officers, attorneys and agents may bid and
become purchasers at any such sale, if public, and may purchase at any private
sale any of the Collateral that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market or which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.
Any sale (public or private) shall be without warranty and free from any right
of redemption, which Borrower shall waive and release after default upon Bank’s
request therefor, and may be free of any warranties as to the Collateral if
Bank shall so decide. No purchaser at any sale (public or private) shall be
responsible for the application of the purchase money. Any balance of the net
proceeds of sale remaining after paying all Obligations of Borrower to Bank
shall be returned to such other party as may be legally entitled thereto; and
if there is a deficiency, Borrower shall be responsible for repayment of the
same, with interest. Upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place designated by Bank which is
reasonably convenient to Bank and Borrower. Borrower hereby acknowledges that
Bank has extended credit and other financial accommodations to Borrower upon
reliance of Borrower’s granting Bank the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement including
without limitation the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or after demand with respect to
Obligations payable on demand and Borrower hereby acknowledges that Bank is
entitled to equitable and injunctive relief to enforce any of its rights and
remedies hereunder or under the Code.

 

18

 

Bank shall not be required to marshal any
present or future security for (including but not limited to this Agreement and
the Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby), or guarantees
of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guarantees
in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such
securities and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may do so,
Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke and irrevocably waives the
benefits of any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause
delay in or impede the enforcement of Bank’s rights under this Agreement or
under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any
of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured
or guaranteed. Except as required by applicable law, Bank shall have no duty as
to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as
to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation
of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

 

7.3                                 Power
of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Bank as
Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, at the
sole cost and expense of Borrower but for the sole benefit of Bank, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or after demand with respect to Obligations
payable on demand, to convert the Collateral into cash, including without
limitation completing the manufacture or processing of work in process, and the
sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the
inventory and other Collateral; to enforce collection of the Collateral, either
in its own name or in the name of Borrower, including without limitation
executing releases or waivers, compromising or settling with any Debtors and
prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the
Collateral; to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and
to take therefrom any remittances or proceeds of Collateral in which Bank has a
security interest; to notify Post Office authorities to change the address for
delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as Bank shall designate;
to endorse the name of Borrower in favor of Bank upon any and all checks,
drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other instruments of the same or
different nature; to sign and endorse the name of Borrower on and to receive as
secured party any of the Collateral, any invoices, freight or express receipts,
or bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts, or other documents of
title of the same or different nature relating to the Collateral; to sign the
name of Borrower on any notice of the Debtors or on verification of the
Collateral; and to sign, if necessary, and file or record on behalf of Borrower
any financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect Bank’s security
interest. Bank shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of
the powers hereinabove authorized, but if Bank elects to do any such act or
exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually
receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible
to Borrower except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. All
powers conferred upon Bank by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest,
shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligation of Borrower or any guarantor or
surety to Bank shall remain unpaid or Bank is obligated under this Agreement to
extend any credit to Borrower.

 

7.4                                 Nonexclusive
Remedies. All of Bank’s rights and remedies not only under the provisions
of this Agreement but also under any other agreement or transaction shall be
cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by Bank at
such time or times and in such order of preference as Bank in its sole
discretion may determine.

 

7.5                                 Right
of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted, and not by
way of limitation of any such rights,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Bank is
hereby authorized at anytime or from time to time, to the extent permitted by
law, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to
Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived,
to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at
any time held or owing by Bank (including by branches and agencies of Bank
wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against and
on account of the Obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement or under
any of the other Loan Documents and all other claims of any nature or
description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not Bank shall have made any demand hereunder and
although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be
contingent or unmatured.

 

19

 

7.6                                 Reassignment
to Borrower. Whenever Bank deems it desirable that any legal action be instituted
with respect to any Collateral or that any other action be taken in any attempt
to effectuate collection of any Collateral, Bank may reassign the item in
question to Borrower (and if Bank shall execute any such reassignment, it shall
automatically be deemed to be without recourse to Bank in any event) and
require Borrower to proceed with such legal or other action at Borrower’s sole
liability, cost and expense, in which event all amounts collected by Borrower
on such item shall nevertheless be subject to Bank’s security interest.

 

8.                                      MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1                                 Waivers.
Borrower waives notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice
of nonpayment, demand, presentment, protest or notice of protest of the
Obligations, and all other notices, consents to any renewals or extensions of
time of payment thereof, and generally waives any and all suretyship defenses
and defenses in the nature thereof.

 

8.2                                 [Reserved]

 

8.3                                 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or portion of such provision or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement (or the remainder of
such provision) and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances
shall not be affected thereby.

 

8.4                                 Deposit
Collateral. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien and security
interest in any and all deposit accounts (including without limitation time,
savings, checking and money market accounts and certificates of deposit) or other
sums at any time credited by or due from Bank or any Bank Affiliate to Borrower
and any cash, securities, instruments or other property of Borrower in the
possession of Bank or any Bank Affiliate, whether for safekeeping or otherwise,
or in transit to or from Bank or any Bank Affiliate (regardless of the reason
Bank or Bank Affiliate had received the same or whether Bank or Bank Affiliate
has conditionally released the same) as security for the full and punctual
payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of Borrower
to Bank or any Bank Affiliate and such deposits and other sums may be applied
against such liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank or any Bank
Affiliate at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand
has been made and whether or not other collateral is then available to Bank or
any Bank Affiliate.

 

8.5                                 Indemnification.
Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank and any Bank Affiliate and their
directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents, authorized
representatives and attorneys (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against
any and all loss, liability or damages of claim brought or threatened against
any Indemnitee by Borrower, any guarantor or endorser of the Obligations, or any
other person (as well as from reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in
connection therewith) on account of Bank’s relationship with Borrower, or any
guarantor or endorser of the Obligations (each of which may be defended,
compromised, settled or pursued by Bank with counsel of Bank’s election, but at
the expense of Borrower), except for any claim arising solely out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Bank. The within indemnification shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement the payment of the
Obligations, and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by Bank in
favor of Borrower.

 

8.6                                 Costs
and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, Borrower agrees to pay (i) all costs and expenses incurred by
Bank in connection with or arising from the performance of due diligence, the
syndication of the credit facilities contemplated hereby, the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery, waiver or modification and administration of
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documentation
contemplated hereby, the making of loans hereunder, including without
limitation the out-of-pocket costs and internally allocated charges of audit or
field examinations of Bank in connection with the administration of this
Agreement, and (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by Bank in the
maintenance, enforcement or protection of the rights and remedies of

 

20

 

Bank
in connection with this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents or any
of Borrower’s obligations hereunder or thereunder or as a result of any
transaction, action or non-action arising from any of the foregoing, including
without limitation any and all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Bank
in defending Bank’s security interest in or right or title to the Collateral or
in collecting or enforcing, or attempting to collect or enforce, payment of the
Obligations. Such costs and expenses shall include without limitation attorneys’
fees and disbursements, court costs, litigation and other expenses. Payments
for any costs and expenses described in this section shall be made on the date
this Agreement is executed by Borrower and thereafter on demand by Bank.
Borrower agrees that it shall indemnify Bank from and hold it harmless against
any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental
authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note
and any of the other Loan Documents or the issuance of any letters of credit.
The obligations of Borrower under this section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement, the payment of the loans and the expiration of any letters of
credit issued hereunder.

 

8.7                                 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute
but one agreement.

 

8.8                                 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire agreement and understanding between and among the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
proposals, negotiations, agreements and understandings among the parties hereto
with respect to such subject matter, including the Original Agreement and the
related Promissory Notes, Commercial Security Agreement, Corporate Resolution
to Borrow/Grant Collateral, Stand-By Letter of Credit Subline addendum and
Disbursement Requests and Authorizations (together with any amendments,
extensions or renewals executed and delivered in connection therewith)
(collectively, the “Prior Loan Documents”). From and after the date of
execution of this Agreement, the Prior Loan Documents shall be of no further
force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the
avoidance of doubt only, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Agreement to
Provide Insurance and Notice of Insurance Requirements, dated October 16,
2008, executed by Borrower remains in full force and effect as of the date
hereof and that the statements set forth therein are true, correct and complete
and Borrower is in  compliance with any and all covenants,
requirements and agreements set forth therein as of the date hereof.

 

8.9                                 Binding Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and shall remain
in full force and effect (and Bank shall be entitled to rely thereon) until
released in writing by Bank. Bank may transfer and assign this Agreement and
any Revolving Credit and deliver the Collateral to the assignee, who shall
thereupon have all of the rights of Bank; and Bank shall then be relieved and
discharged of any responsibility or liability with respect to this Agreement,
and any such Revolving Credit and the Collateral. Borrower may not assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Except as
expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, nothing, expressed or
implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto,
any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

8.10                           Further Assurances. Borrower will from time to time execute and
deliver to Bank such documents, and take or cause to be taken, all such other
or further action, as Bank may request in order to effect and confirm or vest
more securely in Bank all rights contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including without limitation to correct clerical errors) or to
vest more fully in or assure to Bank the security interest in the Collateral
granted to Bank by this Agreement or to comply with applicable statute or law
and to facilitate the collection of the Collateral (including without
limitation the execution of stock transfer orders and stock powers, endorsement
of promissory notes and instruments and notifications to obligors on the
Collateral). To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower authorizes
Bank to file financing statements, continuation statements or amendments, and
any such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments may be
filed at any time in any jurisdiction. Bank may at any time and from time to
time file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto
which contain any information required by the Code for the sufficiency or
filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or
amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to

 

21

 

Borrower.
Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Bank promptly upon request.
In addition, Borrower shall at any time and from time to time take such steps
as Bank may reasonably request for Bank (i) to obtain an acknowledgment,
in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of any bailee having possession of
any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for Bank, (ii) to
obtain “control” (as defined in the Code) of any Collateral comprised of
deposit accounts, electronic chattel paper, letter of credit rights or
investment property, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and
substance satisfactory to Bank, and (iii) otherwise to insure the
continued perfection and priority of Bank’s security interest in any of the
Collateral and the preservation of its rights therein. Borrower hereby
constitutes Bank its attorney-in-fact to execute, if necessary, and file all
filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such
attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with
an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates in accordance
with its terms, all Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Collateral
is released.

 

8.11                           Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and Borrower
may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein
required to be performed by it, if Borrower shall obtain Bank’s prior written
consent to each such amendment, action or omission to act. No course of dealing
and no delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any
one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right
or remedy of Bank on any future occasion.

 

8.12                           Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect so long as any Obligations or obligation of Borrower to Bank shall
be outstanding, or Bank shall have any obligation to extend any financial
accommodation hereunder, and is supplementary to each and every other agreement
between Borrower and Bank and shall not be so construed as to limit or
otherwise derogate from any of the rights or remedies of Bank or any of the
liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Borrower under any such agreement,
nor shall any contemporaneous or subsequent agreement between Borrower and  Bank
be construed to limit or otherwise derogate from any of the rights or remedies
of Bank or any of the liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Borrower
hereunder, unless such other agreement specifically refers to this Agreement
and expressly so provides.

 

8.13                           Notices. Any notice under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be a signed
writing or other authenticated record (within the meaning of Article 9 of
the Code). Any notices under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed duly
received and effective if delivered in hand to any officer or agent of Borrower
or Bank, or if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to Borrower or Bank at the address set forth in this
Agreement or as any party may from time to time designate by written notice to
the other party.

 

8.14                           Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed or
completed and is to be performed in California, and it and all transactions
hereunder or pursuant hereto shall be governed as to interpretation, validity,
effect, rights, duties and remedies of the parties hereunder and in all other
respects by the internal laws of California without regard to principles of
conflict of laws.

 

8.15                           Reproductions. This Agreement and all documents which have
been or may be hereinafter furnished by Borrower to Bank may be reproduced by
Bank by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, xerographic or similar
process, and any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the
original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not
the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in
the regular course of business).

 

8.16                           Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower irrevocably submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in California,
over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Borrower hereby consents to any and all process which may be served in any such
suit, action or proceeding, (i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered
and certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower’s
address shown in this Agreement or as notified to Bank and (ii) by serving
the same upon Borrower in any other manner otherwise permitted by law, and
agrees that such service shall in every respect be deemed effective service
upon Borrower

 

22

 

8.17                           Civil Code § 2822. In the event that, at any time, a surety is
liable upon only a portion of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents
and Borrower provides partial satisfaction of any such obligations, Borrower
hereby waives any right it would otherwise have under Section 2822 of the
California Civil Code to designate the portion of the obligations to be
satisfied. The designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied
shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Loan Documents, be
made by Bank rather than Borrower

 

8.18                      MUTUAL WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.19 AND TO THE
EXTENT THAT IN THE FUTURE SUCH WAIVERS ARE PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.19(a), BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, AND AFTER AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL, (a) WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY (a “Jury Trial
Waiver”) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS OR ANY MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DOCUMENTS
EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND (b) AGREES NOT TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH ANY OTHER ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN WHICH A
JURY TRIAL CAN NOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

 

8.19                           Reference Provision.

 

(a)                             The parties prefer that any dispute between
them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in Section 8.18
herein, but the California Supreme Court has held that such pre-dispute jury
trial waivers are unenforceable. This section will be applicable until: (i) the
California Supreme Court holds that a pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision
similar to that contained in Section 8.18 herein is valid or enforceable;
or (ii) the California Legislature passes legislation and the governor of
the State of California signs into law a statute authorizing pre-dispute jury
trial waivers and as a result such waivers become enforceable.

 

(b)                            Other than (i) non-judicial foreclosure
of security interests in real or personal property, (ii) the appointment
of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of
which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or
claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents, will be resolved by a reference
proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638, at seq., of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”),
or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for
the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the
reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan
Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the superior court or
federal district court in the county or district where the real property, if
any, is located or in a county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate
under applicable law (the “Court”).

 

(c)                             The referee shall be a retired judge or
justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do
not agree, the referee shall be selected by the presiding judge of the Court
(or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be
heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable
harm would result if ex parte relief
is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers
provided by law. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to
issue temporary or provisional remedies.

 

(d)                            The parties agree that time is of the essence
in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be
requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good
cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee,
(ii) If practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days
after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision
within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

 

(e)                                  The referee will have power to expand or limit
the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery
deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide
requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based
upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting
discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written
notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days
after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by
the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and
binding.

 

23

 

(f)                                    Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference
proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of
presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to
the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted
before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court
reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used
at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a
courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the
obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s
power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share
the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

 

(g)                                 The referee shall be required to determine all
issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State
of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in
the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The
referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide
all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be
binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in
a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary
adjudication . The referee shall issue a decision pursuant to CCP § 644 and the
referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in
the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The final
judgment or order entered by the Court is fully appealable as provided by law.
The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a
written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a
different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding
under this provision.

 

(h)                                 If the enabling legislation which provides for
appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any
dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference
procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will
be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California
Arbitration Act, CCP §§ 1280 - § 1294.2, as amended from time to time. The
limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such
arbitration proceeding.

 

(i)                                     THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL
DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE
AND NOT BY A JURY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT)
WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR
THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY
DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

8.20                           USA PATRIOT Act. Bank notifies Borrower
that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other
information that will allow Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the
USA PATRIOT Act.

 

8.21                           Waiver of Damages. Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that Bank has no fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty or
obligation to Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and that the relationship between Bank and Borrower in
connection therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives, and covenants and agrees it will not assert, any claims against Bank on any theory
of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising from or in connection with this
Agreement, any Loan Document, any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

8.22                           Participations.
Bank may, without the consent of Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, including without limitation all or a portion of the Loans then
issued, outstanding and owing to Bank and the Note. Bank may, in connection
with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation
pursuant to this section, disclose to the proposed assignee or participant any
information relating to Borrower furnished to Bank by or on behalf of Borrower,
provided, that the proposed assignee or participant agrees to hold such
information confidential to the same extent Bank must hold such information
confidential.

 

24

 

8.23                           Construction of Agreement. Defined terms in this Agreement (including
any schedules, exhibits and attachments hereto) shall include in the singular
number the plural and in the plural number the singular. Whenever the context
may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine
and neuter forms.

 

8.24                           Confidentiality. Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of any and all proprietary, trade secret or confidential information provided
to or received by Bank from Borrower that indicates it is confidential,
including business plans and forecasts, non-public financial and other
information, confidential or secret processes, formulae, devices and
contractual information, customer lists and employee relation matters, provided
that Bank may disclose such information to its officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, accountants, Affiliates, participants, prospective participants,
assignees and prospective assignees and such other persons to whom Bank shall
at any time be required to make such disclosure in accordance with applicable
law or in the performance of its obligations in connection with the Loans, and provided
that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to disclosures made by Bank in
its good faith business judgment in connection with the enforcement of its
rights or remedies after an Event of Default or to disclosures of information
that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
a disclosure by Bank or that was received by Bank in good faith from a third
party who is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality or otherwise
prohibited from transmitting the information.

25

 

8.25                           Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be required to
perform, or shall be liable for any failure to perform, its obligations
hereunder during any period in which such non-performance is caused by or
arises from (i) war, national emergencies, hostilities or acts of
terrorism, (ii) natural disasters, weather conditions, mechanical
breakdowns or power failure, (iii) strikes, work stoppages, labor shortages
or inability to procure labor, and (iv) causes beyond the control of the
party unable to perform; and any loss, damage, cost or expense arising
therefrom or in connection therewith shall be excluded under this Agreement.

  Irvine, California

  

 

For
value received, the undersigned, Iteris, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
with an address of 1700 Carnegie Avenue, Suite 100, Santa Ana, California
92705 (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of California Bank &
Trust, a California banking corporation, with an address of Orange County
Corporate Banking Office, 19200 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 140, Irvine, California
92612 (together with its successors and assigns, “Bank”), the principal amount
of Twelve Million and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) or, if less, such amount
as may be the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans or advances made
by Bank to Borrower pursuant hereto, on or before October 1, 2010 (the “Maturity
Date”), together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal
balance from time to time outstanding until paid in full.

 

This
Note amends and restates that certain Promissory Note dated October 16,
2008, by Borrower in favor of Bank in the original principal amount of
$12,000,000.00 and continues to evidence, and does not extinguish or satisfy,
the indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower thereunder. Nothing in this
Note shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation.

 

The
aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest, and interest shall
be payable, in accordance with that certain Interest Rate Election Rider
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Interest Election Rider”).

 

This
Note is secured by all collateral granted to Bank by Borrower or any endorser
or guarantor hereof or by any other party and shall be secured by any
additional collateral hereafter granted to Bank by Borrower or any endorser or
guarantor hereof or by any other party.

 

Principal
and interest shall be payable at Bank’s main office or at such other place as
Bank may designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of
the United States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and
a 360-day year.

 

This
Note is a revolving note and, subject to the foregoing and in accordance with
the provisions hereof and of any and all other agreements between Borrower and
Bank related hereto, Borrower may, at its option, borrow, pay, prepay and
reborrow hereunder at any time prior to the Maturity Date or such earlier date
as the obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Note, and any other
agreements between Bank and Borrower related hereto, shall become due and
payable, or the obligation of Bank to extend financial accommodations to
Borrower shall terminate; provided, however,
that in any event the principal balance outstanding hereunder shall
at no time exceed the face amount of this Note. This Note shall continue in
full force and effect until all obligations and liabilities evidenced by this
Note are paid in full and Bank is no longer obligated to extend financial
accommodations to Borrower, even if, from time to time, there are no amounts
outstanding respecting this Note.

 

For
as long as the credit facility evidenced by this Note remains in existence,
Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee (“Unused Line Fee”) in the form of additional
interest on that portion of the maximum principal amount of this Note that on
each day is not outstanding (“Unused Portion”), which interest shall accrue
daily by multiplying the Unused Portion each day by a per diem rate equal to
0.25% divided by 360. The Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears.

 

At
the option of Bank, this Note shall become immediately due and payable without
notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any Event of Default, as defined in that certain Amended
and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith,
between Borrower and Bank (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

 

Any
payments received by Bank on account of this Note shall, at Bank’s option, be
applied, first, to accrued and unpaid interest; second, to the unpaid principal
balance hereof; and, third, to any costs, expenses or charges (including
without limitation late charges) then owed to Bank by Borrower. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any payments received after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied in such manner as  Bank
may determine. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge any deposit account
which Borrower may maintain with Bank for any payment required hereunder, and,
so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank
agrees to give Borrower written notice of any such charge.

 

If
pursuant to the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time obligated to pay
interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of the maximum interest
rate permitted by applicable law for the loan evidenced by this Note, the
applicable interest rate shall be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and
all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have
been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due
hereunder. More specifically, if from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment
of any provision of this Note or any other loan document executed and delivered
in connection with this Note, at the time performance of such provision becomes
due, would exceed the limit on interest then permitted by any applicable usury
statute or any other applicable law, Bank may, at its option, (a) reduce
the obligations to be fulfilled to such limit on interest, or (b) apply
the amount in excess of such limit on interest to the reduction of the
outstanding principal balance of the obligations, and not to the payment of
interest, with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically
designated such sums to be so applied to principal and Bank had agreed to
accept such extra payments as a premium-free prepayment, so that in no event
shall any exaction be possible under this Note or any other loan document that
is in excess of the applicable limit on interest. It is the intention of
Borrower and Bank that the total liability for payments in the nature of
interest shall not exceed the limits imposed by any applicable state or federal
interest rate laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other
provision of this Note and any provision of any other loan document in conflict
with this paragraph.

 

Borrower
represents to Bank that the proceeds of this Note will not be used for
personal, family or household purposes or for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying margin stock or margin securities within the meaning of Regulations U
and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts
221 and 224.

 

No
delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of Bank, nor shall any
delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of
the same or any other right on any future occasion. Borrower and every endorser
or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing,
waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices of
every kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or
enforcement of this Note and assents to any extension or postponement of the
time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or
release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or
person primarily or secondarily liable and waives all recourse to suretyship
and guarantor defenses generally, including any defense based on impairment of
collateral, and any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the
holder hereof to first proceed against Borrower or any endorser or guarantor
for any security.

 

Borrower
and each endorser and guarantor of this Note agrees to pay, upon demand, costs
of collection of all amounts under this Note, including without limitation
principal and interest, or in connection with the enforcement of or realization
on any security for this Note, including without limitation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall
accrue at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5.0%) plus the then-current
Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or LIBOR Rate, as the case may be, applicable to
advances outstanding at such time. If any payment due under this Note is unpaid
for 15 days or more, Borrower shall pay, in addition to any other sums due
under this Note (and without limiting Bank’s other remedies on account
thereof), a late charge equal to the lesser of $500 or 6.0% of such unpaid
amount.

 

2

 

This Note shall be binding upon Borrower and
each endorser and guarantor hereof and upon their respective heirs, successors,
assigns and legal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and
its successors, endorsees and assigns.

 

Borrower and each endorser and guarantor, if any, hereby waive
presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all
other notices and demands of every kind and all suretyship defenses of any
kind, in each case that would otherwise be available in connection with this
Note, including without limitation any right (whether now or hereafter
existing) to require the holder hereof to first proceed against Borrower or any
endorser or guarantor for any security.

 

In the event that at any time, a surety is liable upon only a portion of
Borrower’s or any endorser’s or guarantor’s obligations under this Note and
Borrower provides partial satisfaction of any such obligations, Borrower and
each endorser and guarantor hereof, if any, hereby waives any right it would
otherwise have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code to
designate the portion of the obligations to be satisfied. The designation of
the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not
expressly made by the terms of this Note, be made by Bank rather than Borrower.

 

The liabilities of Borrower and any endorser or guarantor of this Note
are joint and several; provided, however, the
release by Bank of Borrower or any one or more endorsers or guarantors shall
not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Any and all
present and future debts of Borrower to any endorser or guarantor of this Note
are subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future
debts and obligations of Borrower to Bank. Each reference in this Note to
Borrower, any endorser and any guarantor is to such person individually and
also to all such persons jointly. No person obligated on account of this Note
may seek contribution from any other person also obligated, unless and until
all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness to Bank of the person from whom
contribution is sought have been irrevocably satisfied in full. The release or
compromise by Bank of any collateral shall not release any person obligated on
account of this Note.

 

Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof authorizes Bank to
complete this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect. A photographic or
other reproduction of this Note may be made by Bank, and any such reproduction
shall be admissible in evidence with the same effect as the original itself in
any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in
existence.

 

Borrower will from time to time  execute and deliver to Bank such
documents, and take or cause to be taken all  such other further action, as Bank
may request in order to effect and confirm or vest more securely in Bank all
rights contemplated by this Note or any other loan documents related thereto
(including without limitation to correct clerical errors) or to vest more fully
in or assure to Bank the security interest in any collateral securing this Note
or to comply with applicable statute or law.

 

This Note is delivered to Bank at one of its offices in California and
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 

Any notices under or pursuant to this Note shall be deemed duly received and effective if delivered in hand to
any officer or agent of Borrower or Bank, or if mailed by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, addressed to Borrower or Bank at the address
set forth in this Note or as any party may from time to time designate by
written notice to the other party.

 

The term “Bank Affiliate” as used in this Note shall mean any Affiliate
of Bank or any lender acting as a participant under any loan arrangement
between Bank and Borrower. The term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any
person, (a) any person which, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such
person, or (b) any person who is a director or officer (i) of such
person, (ii) of any subsidiary of such person, or (iii) any person
described in clause (a) above. For purposes of this definition, “control”
of a person shall mean the power, direct or indirect, (x) to vote 5% or
more of the capital stock having ordinary voting power for the election of
directors (or comparable equivalent) of such person, or (y) to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether by
contract or otherwise. Control may be by ownership, contract or otherwise.

Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien and security interest in
any and all deposit accounts (including without limitation time, savings,
checking and money market accounts and certificates of deposit), whether now
existing or hereafter opened and including without limitation any deposit
accounts held jointly with a third party, or other sums at any time credited by
or due from Bank or any Bank Affiliate to Borrower and any cash, securities,
instruments or other property of Borrower in the possession of Bank or any Bank
Affiliate, whether for safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from Bank
or any Bank Affiliate (regardless of the reason Bank or Bank Affiliate had
received the same or whether Bank or Bank Affiliate has conditionally released
the same), as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all
of the liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank or any Bank Affiliate,
and such deposits and other sums may be applied against such liabilities and
obligations of Borrower to Bank or any Bank Affiliate at any time, whether or
not such are then due, whether or not demand has been made and whether or not
other collateral is then available to Bank or any Bank Affiliate.

 

Borrower hereby certifies to Bank that all financial information (“financial
information”) submitted to Bank now and at all times during the term of this
Note does and will fairly and accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and each Bank Affiliate and each
endorser and guarantor of this Note. Financial information includes, but is not
limited to, all business financial statements (including interim and year-end
financial statements that are company prepared and/or CPA prepared), business
income tax returns, borrowing base certificates, accounts payable and
receivable agings, personal financial statements and personal tax returns.
Borrower understands that Bank will rely on all information, whenever provided,
and that such information is a material inducement to Bank to make, to continue
to make, or otherwise extend credit accommodations to Borrower. Borrower covenants
and agrees to notify Bank in writing of any adverse material changes in its
financial condition in the future. Borrower further understands and
acknowledges that there are criminal penalties for giving false information to
federally insured financial institutions.

 

Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note each irrevocably
submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting
in California, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Note. Borrower and each endorser and guarantor irrevocably waives, to
the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. Borrower and each endorser and guarantor
hereby consents to any and all process which may be served in any such suit,
action or proceeding, (i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower’s,
endorser’s or guarantor’s address shown below or as notified to Bank and (ii) by
serving the same upon Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors in any other
manner otherwise permitted by law, and agrees that such service shall in every
respect be deemed effective service upon Borrower or such endorser or
guarantor.

BORROWER, EACH ENDORSER AND GUARANTOR AND BANK HEREBY AGREE THAT
SECTIONS 8.18 AND 8.19 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO JURY WAIVER AND
JUDICIAL REFERENCE SHALL GOVERN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS NOTE.

INTEREST
RATE ELECTION RIDER

 

1.                                      INTEREST RATES; PAYMENTS AND
PREPAYMENTS

 

1.1                                 Interest Rates. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and subject to the other terms of this Note, the
outstanding principal balance shall bear interest at a rate per annum for the
Interest Periods which Borrower selects in accordance with this section and the
other provisions of this Note equal to (a) a variable rate (the “Variable
Rate”) equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin
(a “Variable Rate Advance”); or (b) the LIBOR Rate for Interest Periods of
one, two or three months, but not longer than the remainder of the term of this
Note, plus the Applicable Margin (a “LIBOR Advance”).

 

1.2                                 Rate Selection. When Borrower desires to select an interest
rate, Borrower shall give Bank three (3) days’ prior written notice
specifying the effective date thereof (which shall be a Banking Day), the type
of interest rate, the amount to which the interest rate shall apply and the
duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Any such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall be subject to other terms and conditions set forth in
this Note. If Bank does not receive timely notice of a requested LIBOR Advance,
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Variable Rate Advance. Each LIBOR
Advance may only be requested in increments of $500,000.00 and no more than two
(2) LIBOR Advances may be outstanding at any one time. If any interest
rate is selected, Bank shall record on the books and records of Bank an
appropriate notation evidencing such selection, each repayment on account of
the principal thereof and the amount of interest paid, and Borrower authorizes
Bank to maintain such records and make such notations and agrees that the
amount shown on the books and records as outstanding from time to time shall
constitute the amount owing to Bank pursuant to this Note, absent manifest
error.

 

1.3                                 Payment of Interest. Interest on all amounts outstanding (except
for LIBOR Advances) shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of
each month commencing the month following the date of this Note, and continuing
thereafter on the same day of each succeeding month until the principal balance
shall be paid in full. Interest on all LIBOR Advances shall be payable, in
arrears, on the first Banking Day following the expiration of the applicable
Interest Period and, in respect of any LIBOR Advance of more than three (3) months’
duration, interest shall also be payable, in arrears, on each earlier Banking
Day which is three (3) months after the first day of the applicable
Interest Period.

 

1.4                                 Interest Periods. Each Interest Period shall commence and
shall end as set forth in Section 2.1(c) hereof; provided, however, that (a) any
Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day
shall be extended to the next Banking Day unless such extension would carry
such Interest Period into the next month, in which event such Interest Period
shall end on the preceding Banking Day; (b) any Interest Period that
begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a date for which
there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which
such Interest Period is to end), shall (subject to clause (a) above) end
on the last Banking Day of such calendar month; and (c) any Interest
Period that would otherwise extend beyond the Maturity Date shall end on the
Maturity Date.

 

1.5                                 Conversion of Outstanding Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrower may (a) on any Banking Day, convert
any outstanding Variable Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance in the same aggregate
principal amount and (b) on the last Banking Day of the then current
interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance, convert such LIBOR Advance to a
Variable Rate Advance. If Borrower desires to convert an advance as set forth
in the prior sentence, it shall give Bank three (3) Banking Days’ prior
written notice, specifying the date of such conversion, the amount to be
converted and if the conversion is from a Variable Rate Advance to a LIBOR
Advance, the duration of the Interest Period therefor.

 

1.6                                 End of Interest Period. Subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to a request that a new interest rate selected be
a LIBOR Advance, Borrower may elect to continue a LIBOR Advance as of the last
day of the applicable Interest Period to a new LIBOR Advance. If Borrower fails
to notify Bank of the Interest Period for a subsequent LIBOR Advance at least
Three (3) Banking Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest
Period, then, at Bank’s discretion, such outstanding LIBOR Advance shall become
a Variable Rate Advance at the end of the current Interest Period for such
outstanding LIBOR Advance and shall accrue interest in accordance with the
provisions regarding Variable Rate Advances described herein.

 

 

1.7                                 Basis for Determining LIBOR Inadequate or
Unfair. In the event that
Bank shall determine that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining
the LIBOR Rate, or Eurodollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
relevant maturity are not available to Bank in the interbank Eurodollar market,
with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance or a proposed conversion of any
Variable Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance, Bank shall give Borrower prompt
notice of such determination. If such notice is given, then: (a) any
requested LIBOR Advance shall be made as  a Variable Rate Advance, unless
Borrower gives Bank one Banking Day’s prior written notice that its request for
such borrowing is canceled; (b) any advance which was to have been
converted to a LIBOR Advance shall be continued as a Variable Rate Advance; and
(c) any outstanding LIBOR Advance shall be converted to a Variable Rate
Advance on the last Banking Day of the then current Interest Period for such
LIBOR Advance. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Bank shall have no obligation
to make LIBOR Advances or maintain outstanding LIBOR Advances and Borrower
shall not have the right to request LIBOR Advances or convert advances to LIBOR
Advances.

 

1.8                                 Illegality of LIBOR Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Note, if, after the date of this Note, any applicable law, treaty, regulation
or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall make it unlawful for Bank to make or maintain any LIBOR Advance,
the obligation of Bank hereunder to make or maintain such LIBOR Advance shall
forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality and Borrower shall,
if any such LIBOR Advance is outstanding, promptly upon request from Bank,
prepay such LIBOR Advance or convert such LIBOR Advance to another type of
advance. If any such payment is made on a day that is not the last Banking Day
of the then current Interest Period applicable to such advance, Borrower shall
pay Bank, upon Bank’s request, any amount required under Section 1.10 of
this Note.

 

1.9                                 Termination of Pricing Option. After the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower’s right to select pricing options, if applicable, shall cease, and, if
Borrower would, but for the application of the preceding clause, have had the
right to elect among interest rate options, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Note, interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to five
percent (5.0%) plus the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or LIBOR
Rate, as the case may be, applicable to advances outstanding at such time.

 

1.10                                    Optional Prepayment.

 

(a)                                  Borrower has the right to pay before due the
unpaid balance of any Variable Rate Advance or any part thereof without penalty
or premium, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the
date of such repayment.

 

(b)                                 At its option and upon prior written notice to
Bank, Borrower may prepay any LIBOR Advance in whole or in part from time to
time without premium or penalty but with accrued interest on the principal
being prepaid to the date of such repayment; provided,
however, that such LIBOR Advance may only be prepaid on the last
Banking Day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

(c)                                  In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR
Advance is required or permitted on a date other than the last Banking Day of
the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, then so long as this Note
has not become due and payable in accordance with its terms, Borrower shall
have the right to prepay such LIBOR Advance in whole (but not in part), provided, that Borrower shall pay to Bank
concurrently with such prepayment a Yield Maintenance Fee in an amount computed
as follows: The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a
discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date
closest to the maturity date of the term chosen pursuant to the Interest Period
as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the “cost of funds”
component of the LIBOR Advance in effect at the time of prepayment. If the
result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no Yield Maintenance Fee
payable. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage
shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The
resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days
remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the Interest Period as to which the
prepayment is made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value

 

R-2

 

calculated
by using the number of days remaining in the designated term and using the
above-referenced United States Treasury security rate and the number of days
remaining in the designated term chosen pursuant to the Interest Period as to
which the prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the Yield
Maintenance Fee due to Bank upon prepayment of the LIBOR Advance. If this Note
shall become due and payable for any reason, then any Yield Maintenance Fee
with respect to the Note shall become due and payable in the same manner as
though Borrower had exercised its right of prepayment. Borrower recognizes that
Bank will incur substantial additional costs and expenses including loss of
yield and anticipated profitability in the event of prepayment of all or part
of this Note and that the Yield Maintenance Fee compensates Bank for such costs
and expenses. Borrower acknowledges that the Yield Maintenance Fee is
bargained-for consideration and not a penalty.

 

(d)                                 All prepayments of any LIBOR Advance shall be
applied first to fees and expenses then due hereunder, then to interest on the
unpaid principal balance accrued to the date of prepayment and last to the
principal balance then due hereunder.

 

2.                                      DEFINITIONS

 

2.1                                      Definitions. The following definitions are applicable to this Interest Rate
Election Rider:

 

(a)                                  “Applicable Margin” shall mean the rate
determined based on the percentage of the average aggregate balance of all
demand deposit accounts (including without limitation time, savings, checking
and money market accounts) maintained by Borrower with Bank as compared to the
average total loan or credit commitments by Bank to Borrower (the “DDA
Percentage”), measured on a quarterly basis as of the end of each fiscal
quarter, as follows:

to Section 1.1. The actual length of such periods shall be calculated as
set forth below. The initial Interest Period, unless commenced on the first

following commencement of the initial Interest Period; and (ii) for

selected by Bank. The Interest Period shall be Note N LIBOR Rate Period. This
definition of LIBOR Rate is to be strictly interpreted and is not intended to
serve any purpose other than providing an index to determine the interest rate
used herein. The LIBOR Rate may not necessarily be the same as the quoted
offered side in the Eurodollar time deposit market by any particular
institution or service applicable to any Interest Period. The effective
interest rate applicable to Borrower’s loans evidenced hereby shall change as
of the beginning of each Interest Period if there is a change in the LIBOR Rate
as of any such date.

AMENDED AND RESTATED NON-REVOLVING-TO-TERM NOTE

 

	
  $7,500,000.00

  	
   

  	
  February 4, 2009

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Irvine, California

  

 

For value received, the undersigned, Iteris, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with an address of 1700 Carnegie Avenue, Suite 100, Santa
Ana, California 92705 (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of California
Bank & Trust, a California banking corporation, with an address of
Orange County Corporate Banking Office, 19200 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 140,
Irvine, California 92612 (together with its successors and assigns, “Bank”),
the principal amount of Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($7,500,000.00) or, if less, such amount as may be the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all loans or advances made by Bank to Borrower pursuant
hereto, on or before May 1, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) as set forth below,
together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance
from time to time outstanding until paid in full.

 

This
Note amends and restates that certain Promissory Note dated October 16,
2008, by Borrower in favor of Bank in the original principal amount of
$7,500,000.00 and continues to evidence, and does not extinguish or satisfy,
the indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower thereunder. Nothing in this
Note shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation.

 

The
aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest thereon at a rate
per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus the Applicable
Margin. The current Wall Street Journal Prime Rate is Four Percent (4.0%) and
the initial Applicable Margin is One Percent (1.0%). Accordingly, the initial
applicable interest rate is equal to Five Percent (5.0%) until changed in
accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

“Wall
Street Journal Prime Rate” means the highest rate published from time to time
by the Wall
Street Journal as the Prime
Rate or, in the event the Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the Prime Rate, the base, reference or other rate
then designated by Bank, in its sole discretion, for general commercial loan
reference purposes, it being understood that such rate is a reference rate, not
necessarily the lowest, established from time to time, which serves as the
basis upon which effective interest rates are calculated for loans making
reference thereto. The effective interest rate applicable to Borrower’s loans
evidenced hereby shall change on the date of each change in the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate.

 

The
“Applicable Margin” shall be determined by the percentage of the average
aggregate balance of all demand deposit accounts (including without limitation
time, savings, checking and money market accounts) maintained by Borrower with
Bank as compared to the average total loan or credit commitments by Bank to Borrower
(the “DDA Percentage”), measured on a quarterly basis as of the end of each
fiscal quarter, as follows:

 

	
  DDA Percentage

  	
   

  	
  Applicable Margin

  	
   

  
	
  25% or
  greater

  15% to (but
  not including) 25%

  	
   

  	
  0.75

  	
  %

  
	
  Less than 15%

  	
   

  	
  1.00

  	
  %

  

 

Any
change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the measurement of the DDA
Percentage as of the end of a fiscal quarter shall be effective on the first
day of the immediately following fiscal quarter.

 

This
Note evidences a non-revolving-to-term loan for the purpose of retiring
debentures issued by Borrower. Advances may be made hereunder from time to time
until May 1, 2009 (the “Conversion Date”). Interest on the outstanding
principal balance shall be due and payable in arrears monthly commencing the
month following the date of the first advance on the first day of each month.
The outstanding principal balance on the Conversion Date shall be repaid in
equal installments of principal based upon a 48-month amortization period
commencing on the Conversion Date, except that the last installment
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date and shall be in an amount equal
to the aggregate outstanding balance on the Maturity Date.

 

 

Beginning on November 1, 2009, and on November 1 of each year
thereafter, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank an amount equal to fifty percent
(50%) of Borrower’s EBITDA for the immediately preceding fiscal year, net of
taxes, capital expenditures up to $1,500,000.00, interest paid and current
portion of long-term debt for such fiscal year (the “Excess Cash Flow Recapture
Amount”), which payment shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance
under this Note; provided, however, in no event shall Borrower’s obligation to pay the Excess Cash Flow
Recapture Amount exceed $500,000.00 in any year. As used herein, “EBITDA” shall
mean, for any period, earnings from continuing operations before payment of
federal, state and local income taxes, plus interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, in each case for such period, calculated in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in effect from time to time in the
United States.

 

This Note is secured by all collateral granted to Bank by Borrower or any
endorser or guarantor hereof or by any other party and shall be secured by any
additional collateral hereafter granted to Bank by Borrower or any endorser or
guarantor hereof or by any other party.

 

Principal and interest shall be payable at Bank’s main office or at such
other place as Bank may designate in writing in immediately available funds in
lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, deduction or
counterclaim. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of
days elapsed and a 360-day year.

 

At the option of Bank, this Note shall become immediately due and
payable without notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any Event
of Default, as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, between Borrower and Bank (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Any payments received by Bank on account of this Note shall, at Bank’s
option, be applied, first, to accrued and unpaid interest; second, to the
unpaid principal balance hereof; and, third, to any costs, expenses or charges
(including without limitation late charges) then owed to Bank by Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments received after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied in such manner
as Bank may determine. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge any deposit
account which Borrower may maintain with Bank for any payment required
hereunder, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Bank agrees to give Borrower written notice of any such charge.

 

If pursuant to the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time obligated
to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of the maximum
interest rate permitted by applicable law for the loan evidenced by this Note,
the applicable interest rate shall be immediately reduced to such maximum rate
and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have
been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due
hereunder. More specifically, if from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment
of any provision of this Note or any other loan document excuted and delivered
in connection with this Note, at the time performance of such provision becomes
due, would exceed the limit on interest then permitted by any applicable usury
statute or any other applicable law, Bank may, at its option, (a) reduce
the obligations to be fulfilled to such limit on interest, or (b) apply
the amount in excess of such  limit on interest to the reduction of the  outstanding principal balance of the obligations, and not to the payment
of interest, with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically
designated such sums to be so applied to principal and Bank had agreed to
accept such extra payments as a premium-free prepayment, so that in no event
shall any exaction be possible under this Note or any other loan document that
is in excess of the applicable limit on interest. It is the intention of Borrower
and Bank that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall
not exceed the limits imposed by any applicable state or federal interest rate
laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of
this Note and any provision of any other loan document in conflict with this
paragraph.

 

Borrower represents to Bank that the proceeds of this Note will not be
used for personal, family or household purposes or for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock or margin securities within the meaning of
Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12
C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224.

No delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of
Bank, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a
bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.
Borrower and every endorser or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time,
order or place of signing, waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration and all other notices of every kind in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of this Note and assents to
any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of
collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or person
primarily or secondarily liable and waives all recourse to suretyship and
guarantor defenses generally, including any defense based on impairment of
collateral, and any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the holder
hereof to first proceed against Borrower or any endorser or guarantor for any
security.

 

Borrower
and each endorser and guarantor of this Note agrees to pay, upon demand, costs
of collection of all amounts under this Note, including without limitation
principal and interest, or in connection with the enforcement of or realization
on any security for this Note, including without limitation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall
accrue at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5.0%) plus the then-current
Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or LIBOR Rate, as the case may be, applicable to
advances outstanding at such time. If any payment due under this Note is unpaid
for 15 days or more, Borrower shall pay, in addition to any other sums due
under this Note (and without limiting Bank’s other remedies on account
thereof), a late charge equal to the lesser of $500 or 6.0% of such unpaid
amount.

 

This
Note shall be binding upon Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof and
upon their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives and
shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors, endorsees and assigns.

 

Borrower
and each endorser and guarantor, if any, hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices and
demands of every kind, and all suretyship defenses of any kind, in each case
that would otherwise be available in connection with this Note including
without limitation any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the
holder hereof to first proceed against Borrower, or any endorser or guarantor,
for any security.

 

In
the event that at any time, a surety is liable upon only a portion of Borrower’s
or any endorser’s or guarantor’s obligations under this Note and Borrower
provides partial satisfaction of any such obligations, each of Borrower and
each endorser and guarantor hereof, if any, hereby waives any right it would
otherwise have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code to
designate the portion of the obligations to be satisfied. The designation of
the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not
expressly made by the terms of this Note, be made by Bank rather than Borrower.

 

The
liabilities of Borrower and any endorser or guarantor of this Note are joint
and several; provided, however, the
release by Bank of Borrower or any one or more endorsers or guarantors shall
not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Any and all present and future debts of
Borrower to any endorser or guarantor of this Note are subordinated to the full
payment and performance of all present and future debts and obligations of
Borrower to Bank. Each reference in this Note to Borrower, any endorser and any
guarantor is to such person individually and also to all such persons jointly.
No person obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any
other person also obligated, unless and until all liabilities, obligations and
indebtedness to Bank of the person from whom contribution is sought have been
irrevocably satisfied in full. The release or compromise by Bank of any
collateral shall not release any person obligated on account of this Note.

 

Borrower
and each endorser and guarantor hereof authorizes Bank to complete this Note if
delivered incomplete in any respect. A photographic or other reproduction of
this Note may be made by Bank, and any such reproduction shall be admissible in
evidence with the same effect as the original itself in any judicial or
administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence.

Borrower will from time to time execute and deliver to Bank such
documents, and take or cause to be taken all such other further action, as Bank
may request in order to effect and confirm or vest more securely in Bank all
rights contemplated by this Note or any other loan documents related thereto
(including without limitation to correct clerical errors) or to vest more fully
in or assure to Bank the security interest in any collateral securing this Note
or to comply with applicable statute or law.

 

This Note is delivered to Bank at one of its offices in California and
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 

Any notices under or pursuant to this Note shall be deemed duly received
and effective if delivered in hand to any officer or agent of Borrower or Bank,
or if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,

party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other party.

 

The term “Bank Affiliate” as used in this Note shall mean any Affiliate
of Bank or any lender acting as a participant under any loan arrangement
between Bank and Borrower. The term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any
person, (a) any person which, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such
person, or (b) any person who is a director or officer (i) of such
person, (ii) of any subsidiary of such person, or (iii) any person
described in clause (a) above. For purposes of this definition, “control”
of a person shall mean the power, direct or indirect, (x) to vote 5% or
more of the capital stock having ordinary voting power for the election of
directors (or comparable equivalent) of such person, or (y) to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether by
contract or otherwise. Control may be by ownership, contract or otherwise.

 

Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien and security interest
in any and all deposit accounts (including without limitation time, savings,
checking and money market accounts or certificates of deposit), whether now
existing or hereafter opened and including without limitation any deposit
accounts held jointly with a third party, or other sums at any time credited by
or due from Bank or any Bank Affiliate to Borrower and any cash, securities,
instruments or other property of Borrower in the possession of Bank or any Bank
Affiliate, whether for safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from Bank or any Bank Affiliate (regardless of the reason Bank or Bank
Affiliate had received the same or whether Bank or Bank Affiliate has
conditionally released the same), as security for the full and punctual payment
and  performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of Borrower to
Bank or any Bank Affiliate, and such deposits and other sums may be applied
against such liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank or any Bank
Affiliate at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand
has been
made and whether or not other
collateral is then available to Bank or any Bank Affiliate.

 

Borrower
hereby certifies to Bank that all financial information (“financial information”)
submitted to Bank now and at all times during the term of this Note does and
will fairly and accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and
each Bank Affiliate and each endorser and guarantor of this Note. Financial
information includes, but is not limited to, all business financial statements
(including interim and year-end financial statements that are company prepared
and/or CPA prepared), business income tax returns, borrowing base certificates,
accounts payable and receivable agings, personal financial statements and
personal tax returns. Borrower understands that Bank will rely on all
information, whenever provided, and that such information is a material
inducement to Bank to make, to continue to make, or otherwise extend credit
accommodations to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees to notify Bank in
writing of any adverse material changes in its financial condition in the
future. Borrower further understands and acknowledges that there are criminal
penalties for giving false information to federally insured financial
institutions.

fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Borrower and each endorser and guarantor
hereby consents to any and all process which may be served in any such suit,
action or proceeding, (i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower’s,

respect be deemed effective
service upon Borrower or such endorser or guarantor.
