This Section 10(g) shall survive the exercise of this Agreement, and shall be binding on any transferee of this Agreement.

6.             Section 11 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and to the last sentence of this Section 11, this Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole but not in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Agreement properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Agreement, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Agreement, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Agreement shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Agreement as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Agreement. The transfer of this Agreement shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a duly authorized and executed notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be transferred to any entity that the Board of Directors of the Company has reasonably determined is a direct competitor of the Company, unless either (i) at the time of such transfer, (x) the Loan Agreement is still in effect and (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement or (ii) such transfer is between or among Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. and its Affiliates.

 

7.             Exhibits I, II and III of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety by Exhibits I, II and III attached hereto, respectively.

 

8.             This Amendment shall not be deemed to constitute an amendment to the Agreement except as expressly provided in Sections 2-7 hereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.             This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. The provisions of Section 12 of the Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
