SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of October 8, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) among OXFORD FINANCE CORPORATION (in its individual capacity, “Oxford”; in its capacity as Administrative Agent, “Administrative Agent”; collectively with the other Lenders from time to time a party hereto, the “Lenders”, and Oxford and each such lender individually, a “Lender”) and ZOGENIX, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), amends and restates the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and among Oxford, Administrative Agent, the Lenders party thereto and Borrower, dated as of June 30, 2008 (as amended from time to time, including by that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 1, 2010, the “Original Agreement”), and provides the terms on which Lenders shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lenders. The parties agree as follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

2.1.1 Growth Capital Loan Facility.

(a) Availability. On or about the date of the Original Agreement, Lenders, severally and not jointly, made an advance (the “Growth Capital Advance”), according to each Lender’s pro rata share, and in the aggregate amount of the Growth Capital Loan Commitment (based upon the respective Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender). When repaid, the Growth Capital Advance may not be re-borrowed.

(b) Repayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower shall continue to make monthly payments of interest only, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the Growth Capital Funding Date occurred and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month (each a “Growth Capital Interest Only Payment Date”) during the Growth Capital Interest Only Period. Commencing on the Growth Capital Amortization Date and continuing thereafter during the Growth Capital Repayment Period on the first day of each successive calendar month (each a “Growth Capital Scheduled Payment Date”), Borrower shall make thirty (30) equal monthly payments of principal and interest, in arrears, which would fully amortize the outstanding amount of the Growth Capital Advance as of the Growth Capital Amortization Date over the Growth Capital Repayment Period (individually, the “Growth Capital Scheduled Payment”, and collectively, “Growth Capital Scheduled Payments”). All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due on account of the Growth Capital Advance shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Growth Capital Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(c) - 2.1.1(e). Each Growth Capital Interest Only Payment Date and each Growth Capital Scheduled Payment Date are sometimes referred to as a “Growth Capital Payment Date.”

(c) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Growth Capital Advance is accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders according to each Lender’s


pro rata share (based upon the respective Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender), an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Growth Capital Advance, (ii) the Growth Capital Final Payment, (iii) the Growth Capital Prepayment Fee, plus (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Notwithstanding (but without duplication with) the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders according to each Lender’s pro rata share (based upon the respective Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender), on the Maturity Date, the Growth Capital Final Payment.

(d) Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Growth Capital Advance advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower, (i) provides written notice to Administrative Agent (who will forward the same to each Lender), of its election to prepay the Growth Capital Advance at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest, (B) the Growth Capital Prepayment Fee, (C) the Growth Capital Final Payment, plus (D) all other sums that have become due and payable, including Lenders Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Growth Capital Prepayment Fee shall not apply to or be assessed upon any prepayment made by Borrowers if such payments were required by Administrative Agent to be made pursuant to Section 6.5.

(e) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All principal amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.1.1 (c) or (d) shall be applied to the Growth Capital Advance applied in the inverse order of maturity to the remaining Growth Capital Scheduled Payments thereof.

2.1.2 Revolving Advances.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of the Letter of Credit Reserve, Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Revolving Line (based upon the respective Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Lender), Revolving Advances not to exceed the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and, prior to the Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Revolving Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line (including but not limited to the Revolving Line Termination Fee) shall be immediately due and payable.

2.1.3 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

(a) Letters of Credit. As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Revolving Advances under the Revolving Line. The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), inclusive of Credit Extensions relating to Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5. The aggregate amount available to be used for the issuance of Letters of Credit may not exceed (i) the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services and the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) and minus (iii) the FX Reduction Amount. If, on the Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date (through the date such Letters of Credit continue to be outstanding) Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit

guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Lenders shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(b) Letter of Credit Participations. Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the Bank to issue Letters of Credit, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from Bank, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Lender’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by Bank thereunder. Each Lender agrees with Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1.3(c), such Lender shall pay to Bank upon demand at Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each Lender’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Sections 3.1 or 3.2, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(c) Reimbursement.

(i) If Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Bank an amount equal to the entire amount of such disbursement not later than the immediately following Business Day. Each such payment shall be made to Bank at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(ii) If Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment that it is required to make pursuant to Section 2.1.3(c)(i) with respect to a Letter of Credit within the time specified in such Section, Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such disbursement and its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof, and each Lender shall pay to Bank upon demand at Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such disbursement; upon such payment pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse Bank for any disbursement, the Borrower shall be required to reimburse the Lenders for such payments (including interest accrued thereon from the date of such payment until the date of such reimbursement at the rate applicable to Revolving Advances under the Revolving Line) on demand and the Lenders shall be deemed to have extended, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted, a Revolving Advance under the Revolving Line in the aggregate principal amount of such payment without further action on the part of any party, and the Letter of Credit sublimit shall be permanently reduced by such amount; any amount so paid by Lenders pursuant to this paragraph shall, on and after the payment date thereof, be deemed to be Revolving Advances under the Revolving Line for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. If Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless either the Borrower shall reimburse such disbursement in full within the time period specified in Section 2.1.3(c) or the Lenders shall reimburse such disbursement in full on such date as provided in Section 2.1.3(c) in each case the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of Bank, for each day from and including the date of such disbursement to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower, at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were a Revolving Advance under the Revolving Line; provided that the provisions of Section 2.1.3(c)(ii) shall be applicable to any such amounts not paid when due.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.1.3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against Bank, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Lender that no Lender shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Lender to the Borrower.

In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) that any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or (B) the failure of Bank or of any Lender to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(f) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Revolving Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.

(g) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

2.1.4 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Lenders under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Lenders (in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages) a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (such maximum shall be the “FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any FX Forward Contracts will be treated as Revolving Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Advances.

2.1.5 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), inclusive of Credit Extensions relating to Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Revolving Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Advances.

2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount, exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base (such amount being an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders in cash the ratable amount (according to each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage) of such Overadvance. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Lenders any amount of the Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Lenders interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest.

(i) Growth Capital Advance. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the Growth Capital Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the Growth Capital Funding Date until paid in full at a fixed rate per annum equal to 12.06%. Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on the Growth Capital Advance shall be paid in arrears on the first day of each month. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of the Growth Capital Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of the Growth Capital Advance so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Growth Capital Advance shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue on the Credit Extension for the day on which the Credit Extension is made, and shall not accrue on the Credit Extension, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Credit Extension or such portion is paid.

(ii) Revolving Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of 3.29% above the Prime Rate or 7.29%, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(h) below.

(b) Default Interest. After an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto, plus four percent (4.00%) (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Lender.

(c) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(d) Debit of Accounts. Each Lender may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Silicon Valley Bank, through automatic debit of such accounts, Automated Clearinghouse or other transfers, for scheduled principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Administrative Agent (or any of the Lenders) when due. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

(e) Payments.

(i) Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.

 

5


(ii) All payments to be made by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, setoff or rescission. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(iii) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent (who will forward the same to each Lender), prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(A) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(B) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(f) Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Credit Extensions made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its pro rata share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Credit Extensions or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.11 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 9.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep

 

6


records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

(g) Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by Notes in the form of Exhibit E and/or other records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.

(h) Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge. Interest on the Revolving Line is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all Payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change. In addition, Lenders shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to two (2) Business Days’ interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Advances whether or not any Revolving Advances are outstanding, on all Payments received by each Lender. The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month. Lenders shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to any Lender in its good faith business judgment, and Lenders may charge Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned unpaid.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders:

(a) Growth Capital Loan Fee. A fully earned, non refundable loan fee (the “Growth Capital Loan Fee”) of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (to be shared between Oxford and Bank pursuant to their respective Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage). Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge and confirm receipt of payment by Borrower of the Growth Capital Loan Fee prior to the Original Effective Date;

(b) Growth Capital Final Payment. The Growth Capital Final Payment when due on the Maturity Date or pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1, to be shared by the Lenders in accordance with the Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender on such date;

(c) Growth Capital Prepayment Fee. The Growth Capital Prepayment Fee, if any, when due hereunder, to be shared by the Lenders in accordance with the Growth Capital Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender on such date;

(d) Lenders Expenses. All Lenders Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due;

(e) Revolving Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) on account of the Revolving Line in the amount of $175,000, of which $50,000 was received on the Effective Date of the Original Agreement (the “Original Effective Date”), an additional $50,000 shall be paid on the first and second anniversaries of the Original Effective Date, and an additional $25,000 shall be paid on the third anniversary of the Original Effective Date; in each case, to be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Line;

 

7


(f) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable monthly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders according to their Revolving Commitment Percentages. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall include amounts reserved under Section 2.1.4 and/or Section 2.1.5. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by any Lender pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement, or suspension or termination of Lenders’ obligation to make loans and advances hereunder;

(g) Revolving Line Termination Fee. A fee (the “Revolving Line Termination Fee”), in the event of termination of the Revolving Line prior to the Maturity Date (whether at Borrower’s election, or at any Lender’s election due to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), in addition to the payment of any other expenses or fees then-owing, payable to Lenders, pro rata according to their Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Line, a termination fee in an amount equal to (x) Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Original Effective Date; (y) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Original Effective Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Original Effective Date; and (z) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), if such termination occurs thereafter; provided that (i) Borrower may terminate the Revolving Line effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Lenders; and (ii) notwithstanding any such termination, Lenders’ liens and security interests in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations;

(h) Collateral Monitoring Fee. A monthly collateral monitoring fee of $750, payable in arrears on the last day of each month (prorated for any partial month at the beginning and upon termination of this Agreement), solely for the benefit of Bank; and

(i) Variance Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable fee, due and payable in full on the Effective Date, in the amount of $150,000, of which $95,000 shall be for the account of Oxford and $55,000 shall be for the account of Bank.

2.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes) duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities imposed by any Governmental Authority being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or if no receipt is available, other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such

additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.5) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) paid penalties, interest and expenses arising from or with respect to the obligations under the preceding clause (i) and not caused by actions within the control of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Lender or Administrative Agent first made demand therefor. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

(e) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.5, and costs and expenses (including Lenders Expenses) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of all Growth Capital Loan Commitments to make Credit Extensions, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

9


(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower and with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.5 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

2.6 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any change in Law occurs after the Effective Date which shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.5 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement made by such Lender;

(b) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, so long as such costs have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor.

(c) Without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, if any Lender determines that any change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending officer of such Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Growth Capital Loan Commitment and/or the Revolving Line of such Lender or the Credit Extensions made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

2.7 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 2 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Administrative Agent and Lenders may, from time to time, verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, either in the name of Borrower, Administrative Agent or such Lender or such other name as Administrative Agent or such Lender may choose.

(f) No Liability. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Administrative Agent or any Lender from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.25 Remittance of Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.23(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, according to their Revolving Commitment Percentage, in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations (a) prior to an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(e) hereof, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Administrative Agent the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will maintain all proceeds of Collateral in an account maintained with Bank. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

6.26 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. Allow Administrative Agent, or its agents, at reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, and to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Borrower’s Books. Such visits, inspections or audits shall be conducted (x) at least 45 days prior to the first Revolving Advance, and (y) thereafter, no more often than once every six (6) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing visits, inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Administrative Agent or any such Lender, then (without limiting any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies), Borrower shall

 

25


pay Administrative Agent or such Lender a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.

7 NEGATIVE COVENANTS

Neither Borrower, any Subsidiary, or Guarantor shall do any of the following without Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ prior written consent:

7.1 Dispositions. “Dispositions”. Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, except for the GE Collateral and the Excluded European Property and Transfers (a) of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (b) of worn out or obsolete Equipment; (c) in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Investments; (d) of non-exclusive and exclusive licenses for the use of Intellectual Property and rights to Intellectual Property, collaborative transactions, and/or joint ventures each entered in the ordinary course of business; and (e) of abandoned Intellectual Property not material to Borrower’s business.

7.2 Changes in Business, Management, Ownership, or Business Locations. (a) Engage in or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower and such Subsidiary, as applicable, or reasonably related thereto; (b) liquidate or dissolve; or (c) (i) have a change in management such that a Key Person resigns, is terminated, or is no longer actively involved in the management of the Borrower in his/her current position and is not replaced with a person acceptable to Borrower’s board of directors within one hundred twenty (120) days after departure from Borrower, or (ii) without limiting the application of Section 7.3, suffer or permit a Change in Control. Borrower shall not, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent (who will forward the same to each Lender): (1) add any new offices or business locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business locations contain less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in Collateral), (2) change its jurisdiction of organization, (3) change its organizational structure or type, (4) change its legal name, or (5) change any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of organization.

7.3 Mergers or Acquisitions. Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person, or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person except where (a) total consideration including cash and the value of any non-cash consideration, for all such transactions does not in the aggregate exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in any Fiscal Year of Borrower; (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect to the transactions; and (c) Borrower is the surviving legal entity. A Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may merge or consolidate so long as: (A) the entity or entities that result from such merger or consolidation (collectively, the “Surviving Entity”) shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, containing an assumption by the Surviving Entity of the due and punctual payment and performance of all Obligations and performance and observance of each covenant and condition of Borrower in the Loan Documents: (B) all such obligations of the Surviving Entity to Lenders shall be guaranteed by any entity, if any, that directly or indirectly owns or controls more than 50% of the voting stock of the Surviving Entity (which guaranty shall be secured in the discretion of the Lenders); (C) immediately after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (D) the credit risk to Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, of the Surviving Entity shall not be increased. In determining whether the proposed merger or consolidation would result in any increased credit risk, Lenders may consider, among other things, changes in Borrower’s management team, employee base, access to equity markets, investor support, financial position, business plan, and/or disposition of Intellectual Property rights which may reasonably be anticipated as a result of the transaction.

7.4 Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

7.5 Encumbrance. Create, incur, allow, or suffer any Lien on any of its property (other than the GE Collateral), or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its

(a) Pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment (other than a dividend, distribution or payment solely in capital stock) or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock provided that (i) Borrower may convert any of its convertible securities into other securities pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities or otherwise in exchange thereof, (ii) Borrower may pay dividends solely in common stock, and (iii) Borrower may repurchase the stock of former employees, directors or consultants pursuant to stock repurchase agreements or similar agreements made under equity incentive plans or programs that were approved by the board of directors of Borrower or the compensation committee so long as a Default or Event of Default does not exist at the time of such repurchase and would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase, provided such repurchase does not exceed in the aggregate of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per Fiscal Year; or (b) directly or indirectly make any Investment other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so.

7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for (a) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person; (b) the sale of Borrower’s equity securities or Subordinated Debt to its existing venture capital investors; (c) compensation and benefit arrangements (including the granting of options or other equity compensation arrangements) and any indemnification arrangements with employees, officers, directors or consultants approved by, or pursuant to any plan approved by, the board of directors of Borrower or the compensation committee of the board of directors of Borrower; or (d) as expressly permitted by Section 7.1.

7.9 Subordinated Debt. (a) Make or permit any payment on any Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject, or (b) amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt which would increase the amount thereof or adversely affect the subordination thereof to Obligations owed to Lenders.

7.10 Compliance. Become an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company”, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or undertake as one of its important activities extending credit to purchase or carry margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or use the proceeds of the Credit Extension for that purpose; fail to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so; withdraw or permit any Subsidiary to withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

7.11 Ownership of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) permit any Person (other than the Borrower) to own any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary, except to qualify directors where required by applicable law or to satisfy other requirements of applicable law with respect to the ownership of Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, (ii) permit any Subsidiary to issue or have outstanding any shares of preferred Capital Stock, or (iii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary other than pursuant to the Loan Documents.

7.12 Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

7.13 Location of Collateral. Maintain, transfer, or move, at any time, any of the Collateral outside of the United States, with the exception of the Additional European Collateral.

8 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Any one of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:

8.1 Payment Default. Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable (which three (3) day grace period shall not apply to payments due on the Maturity Date). During the cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);

8.2 Covenant Default.

(a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.10, 6.11, 6.13, 6.14, 6.18, 6.19, 6.21 or 6.22, or violates any covenant in Section 7; or

(b) Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period);

8.3 Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs;

8.4 Attachment; Levy; Restraint on Business.

(a) (i) The service of process seeking to attach, by trustee or similar process, any funds of Borrower or of any entity under control of Borrower (including a Subsidiary) on deposit with any Lender or any Lender Affiliate, or (ii) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency, and the same under subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof are not, within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof, discharged or stayed (whether through the posting of a bond or otherwise); provided, however, no Credit Extensions shall be made during any ten (10) day cure period; and

(b) (i) any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver, or (ii) any court order enjoins, restrains, or prevents Borrower from conducting any part of its business;

8.5 Insolvency. (a) Borrower is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due or otherwise becomes insolvent; (b) Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the conditions described in clause (a) exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

 

28


8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default by Borrower or any Guarantor under any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or that could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s business;

8.7 Judgments. One or more judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated, or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction, vacation, or stay of such judgment, order, or decree);

8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to any Lender or to induce Lenders to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;

8.9 Subordinated Debt. Borrower or any creditor of Borrower that signed a subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement with Administrative Agent, breaches any terms of such agreement; or

8.10 Governmental Approvals. Any Governmental Approval shall have been (a) revoked, rescinded, suspended, modified in an adverse manner or not renewed in the ordinary course for a full term and could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change or (b) subject to any decision by a Governmental Authority that designates a hearing with respect to any applications for renewal of any of such Governmental Approval or that could result in the Governmental Authority taking any of the actions described in clause (a) above, and such decision or such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Change.

9 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, all Lenders, take any or all of the following actions, without notice or demand:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lenders);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement;

(c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to 110% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

(d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

(e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Administrative Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Lenders) security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

 

29


(f) make any payments and do any acts they consider necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Administrative Agent requests and make it available as Administrative Agent designates. Administrative Agent may (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to their security interest and pay all expenses incurred. To the extend not prohibited by the applicable agreements pursuant to which Borrower leases or otherwise has occupancy rights, Borrower grants Administrative Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies;

(g) apply to the Obligations any balances and deposits of Borrower Administrative Agent holds on behalf of the Lenders;

(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Administrative Agent is hereby granted to be exercised solely upon an Event of Default, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, subject to the rights of third parties and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, without charge to Borrower, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1(f), Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Administrative Agent’s benefit, for the benefit of the Lenders;

(i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books;

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Administrative Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Administrative Agent or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Administrative Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney- in-fact, and all of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Administrative Agent are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Administrative Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Administrative Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Administrative Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

30


9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Administrative Agent shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Administrative Agent or otherwise received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(a) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Lenders Expenses) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(b) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Lenders Expenses), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Credit Extensions and fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) held by them;

(d) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Credit Extensions and breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them;

(e) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

9.5 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of a Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, but without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

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

9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Administrative Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Administrative Agent (and to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.5 all Lenders) and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose

 

31


for which it is given. Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Administrative Agent and Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.8 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on which Borrower is liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

(a) California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Administrative Agent or any Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lender. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

(b) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

(c) WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.

Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in their discretion; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to assignments made by other Lenders). Each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No Lender may assign any interest hereunder to the Borrower or a natural Person. In addition to the foregoing, no Lender may assign any interest hereunder other than to an Affiliate, without the prior written consent of Oxford and Bank, provided that Oxford and Bank continue to be a Lender hereunder.

12.2 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and the respective Affiliates of all such Persons, directors, officers, employees, counsel, trustees, advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Lenders Expenses and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Credit Extension or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or such Indemnitee’s officers, directors, employees or agents). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the internet, IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether arising or occurring before or after the date hereof). All amounts due under this Section 12.2 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 12.2 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the Maturity Date. To the extent that the indemnification set forth in this Section 12.2 may be unenforceable, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Section 12.2, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising under or relating to Environmental Laws that it might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent that such items are determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

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

Administrative Agent and each Lender may use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as Administrative Agent or such Lender does not disclose Borrower’s identity or the identity of any person associated with Borrower unless otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

13.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

13.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of all Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its

 

37


satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

13.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default and/or Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower, describing such Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default and/or Event of Default as may be directed by all Lenders in accordance with Article 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default and/or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

13.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

13.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so as to the extent, if any, provided under this Agreement), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (which shall not include legal expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of all Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 13.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Lenders Expenses incurred after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 13.7 shall survive the Maturity Date and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

38


13.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Credit Extensions, Oxford shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Oxford in its individual capacity.

13.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, all Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or the affiliates thereof) a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders (or the affiliates thereof). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the respective term “Administrative Agent” means such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 13 and Sections 2.4(d) and 12.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

13.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.4 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4.

13.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor and any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the date that all Obligations due hereunder have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full and no Growth Capital Loan Commitments or other obligations of any Lender to provide funds to the Borrower under this Agreement remain outstanding, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 12.01. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, all Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property, pursuant to this Section 13.11.

13.12 Cooperation of Borrower. If necessary, Borrower agrees to (i) execute any documents (including new Notes) reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of a Growth Capital Loan Commitment or Loan to an assignee in accordance with Section 12.1, and (ii) make the Borrower’s management available once during each Fiscal Year to meet with the Administrative Agent and the prospective participants and assignees of Growth Capital Loan Commitments or Credit Extensions. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.9, Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of a Growth Capital Loan Commitment, any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its financial affairs which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement provided that such prospective participant is bound to abide by the provisions of Section 12.9.

13.13 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower or guarantor, as applicable, and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of any Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY LENDER OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE).

No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Administrative Agent, Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(“Debtor”). Secured Party has an office at 83 Wooster Heights Road, Danbury, CT 06810. Debtor is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “State”). Debtor’s mailing address and chief place of business is 12760 High Bluff Drive, Suite 130, San Diego, CA 92130.

 

1. LOANS, TERMS OF PAYMENT AND CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

 

  (a) The Loan and Terms of Payment

(i) The Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Secured Party hereby agrees to make one or more term loans (each, a “Credit Extension”) to Debtor in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed TEN MILLION DOLLARS and NO/100 ($10,000,000.00) (the “Term Loan Commitment”), which Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on December 21, 2007 (the “Term Loan Commitment Termination Date”), after which the Secured Party shall have no further obligation to make any additional Credit Extensions; provided, however, (x) on or after a date that is 30 days prior to the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, Debtor may request that the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date be extended for an additional six (6) month period, in which case, if such extension is granted, the Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on June 21, 2008 (the “Extended Commitment Termination Date”), and (y) on or after a date that is 30 days prior to the Extended Commitment Termination Date, Debtor may request that the Extended Commitment Termination Date be extended for an additional six (6) month period, in which case, if granted, the Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on December 21, 2008. In the case of clauses (x) and (y) above, such extensions shall be granted by the Secured Party in its reasonable discretion. Each Credit Extension hereunder shall be evidenced by a Note (as defined below), which Notes are deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by this reference.

(ii) Borrowing Mechanics. When Debtor desires a Credit Extension, Debtor will notify Secured Party by facsimile or electronic mail (or by telephone, provided that such telephonic notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing). Each Credit Extension shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $250,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Secured Party in its sole discretion. Secured Party shall make Credit Extensions for costs associated with the purchase of the equipment listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein or other equipment identified by Debtor from time to time by wire transfer to such account as specified by Debtor at such time as Debtor has complied to the satisfaction of the Secured Party with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 1(b) below.

(iii) Repayment. Debtor unconditionally promises to pay Secured Party the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Credit Extension, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions from the date of such Credit Extension until repaid at a rate per annum (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a fixed rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) and as set forth in the respective promissory note, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (as each may be amended, modified, increased, restated or replaced from time to time, collectively, the “Notes” and each a “Note”); provided, however, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), at the option of the Secured Party, such rate shall be equal to the default rate set forth in each Note. For each Credit Extension, Debtor shall make monthly payments of principal and accrued interest in the amounts provided by Secured Party and set forth in the respective Note. Once a Credit Extension is prepaid, it cannot be reborrowed. Each Note shall have a term of forty-eight (48) months.


Treasury Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the Treasury Index plus five and  43/100 percent (5.43%).

If any such date is not a business day, then the quote shall be obtained on the business day immediately preceding such date. If the United States Treasury (a) quotes more than one such rate, then the highest of such quotes shall apply, or (b) ceases to quote such rate, then the Treasury Index shall be determined from such substitute financial reporting service or source as the Secured Party in its reasonable discretion shall determine.

(a) Debtor shall at all times bear the entire risk of any loss, theft, damage to, or destruction of, any of the Collateral from any cause whatsoever.

(b) Debtor agrees to keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire and extended coverage perils, theft, burglary, and for any or all Collateral which are vehicles, for risk of loss by collision, and if requested by Secured Party, against such other risks as Secured Party may reasonably require. The insurance coverage shall be in an amount no less than the full replacement value of the Collateral, and deductible amounts, insurers and policies shall be acceptable to Secured Party.

Debtor shall, if any certificate of title be required or permitted by law for any of the Collateral, obtain and promptly deliver to Secured Party such certificate showing the lien of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral. Debtor ratifies its prior authorization for Secured Party to file financing statements and amendments thereto describing the Collateral and containing any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code if filed prior to the date hereof.

(c) Debtor shall indemnify and defend Secured Party, its successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers and employees, from and against all claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation, related attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the Collateral, this Agreement, any other Debt Document, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for claims, actions or suits arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party or its successors or assigns and their respective directors, officers and employees as determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

   [DATE]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Zogenix, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at the address stated below (“Maker”) promises to pay to the order of General Electric Capital Corporation or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a “Payee”) at its office located at 83 Wooster Heights Road, Danbury, CT 06810 or at such other place as Payee may designate by written notice to Maker, the principal sum of              DOLLARS ($            ), with interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of              percent (    %) per annum (the “Contract Rate”) in installments consisting of [(i) FORTY SEVEN (47) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest (each, a “Periodic Installment”) and (ii) a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total outstanding and unpaid principal, accrued interest and any and all amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents (as defined below)], all as set forth on Schedule 1, attached hereto. The first Periodic Installment shall be due and payable on             , and the subsequent Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each succeeding period (each, a “Payment Date”). Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date.

All payments shall be applied: first, to interest due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents; second, to all other amounts due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents, and then to principal due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents. The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. The payment of any Periodic Installment prior to its due date shall result in a corresponding increase in the portion of the Periodic Installment credited to the remaining unpaid principal balance.

All amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents are payable in the lawful currency of the United States of America. Maker hereby expressly authorizes Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.

This Note is one of the “Notes” as defined in that certain Master Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2007, between Maker and Payee (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) and may be further secured by security agreements, chattel mortgages, pledge agreements or like instruments. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Loan Agreement.


Time is of the essence hereof, If Payee does not receive from Maker payment in full of any Periodic Installment or any other sum due under this Note or any other Debt Document is not received within ten (10) days after its due date, Maker agrees to pay a late fee equal to five percent (5%) on such late Periodic Installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. Such late fee will be immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other costs, fees and expenses that Maker may owe as a result of such late payment. Additionally, if (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Debt Document, in each case beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, then (x) the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any other Debt Document, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment) and/or (y) Payee may enforce its rights under any or all Debt Documents. The application of such 18% interest rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period set forth in this Note or any other Debt Document, cure any default or otherwise limit Payee’s right or remedies hereunder or under any Debt Document.

The Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder upon payment of the entire indebtedness, interest costs and fees due and owing hereunder plus an additional sum as a premium equal to the following percentages of the outstanding principal balance for the indicated period:

It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or any other Debt Document, in no event shall this Note or any other Debt Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any other Debt Document, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any other Debt Document on the principal balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event: (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker, at the option of Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Debt Document which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for Payee to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the United States of America.


Maker hereby consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any other Debt Document or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agrees that suit may be brought and maintained against Maker and/or any and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others who may at any time become liable for payments and performance under this Note and any other Debt Documents (each such person, other than Maker, an “Obligor”), at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s actual attorneys’ fees.
