2.02. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary. Upon Requisite Notice to Lender not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrowers may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in part or in full without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of any Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon. All voluntary prepayments of the Loan shall be applied pro rata to the then remaining scheduled payments of principal due under the Loan (including, without limitation, the payment due on the maturity thereof).

(b) Mandatory. In addition to the payments required by Section 2.03(b) hereof, Borrowers shall (subject to Section 2.02(c) below) make mandatory prepayments of Loans as set forth below; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or, so long as no Default or Event of Default would arise from any of the below described transactions), then the prepayment requirements of Section 2.02(b)(i) and (ii) shall not apply. Subject to Section 2.02(c) below, all such prepayments required under Sections 2.02(b)(i) through (iii) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled payments of principal due under the Loan (including, without limitation, the payment due on the maturity thereof). To the extent any amounts remain after such application to the Loans, other than any amounts remaining as a result of Lender declining prepayment pursuant to Section 2.02(c), may be retained by Borrowers.

(i) Asset Sales. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by any Borrower or any of its domestic Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds (or on the 271st day if the first proviso hereto applies) if such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are equal to or in excess of $500,000 received in any fiscal year through the applicable date of determination, Borrowers shall prepay, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c) below, the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers need not so apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds so long as any Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries invests such Net Asset Sale Proceeds within two hundred seventy (270) days of receipt thereof in assets of the general type used in the business of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (including acquisitions of assets by way of stock purchase, merger or acquisition of assets of a company or business unit in compliance with Section 7.08); provided, further, pending any such investment all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be invested in Cash or Cash Equivalents and deposited in the Designated Deposit Account and held therein until such time as such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are applied in payment of such investment.

(c) Lender’s Right to Decline Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Lender has the right to decline requiring Borrowers to pay to it the mandatory prepayment(s) described in Sections 2.02(b) above. Upon receipt by the Lender of any such prepayment of the Loan, the amount of the prepayment that is available to prepay the Loans (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be deposited in a cash collateral Account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrowers, pending application of such amount on the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be ten (10) Business Days after the date of such receipt. Lender may decline such prepayment by giving written notice to the Borrowers by not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date. On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Lender to prepay Loans owing to Lender shall be withdrawn from the applicable cash collateral account and applied to prepay Loans owing Lender in the manner described in the first paragraph of Section 2.02(b), for such prepayment.

(e) In addition to interest as set forth herein, Borrowers shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amounts due under the Loan in the event any such amount is not paid when due.

2.09. Joint and Several.

In addition to the defenses referred to above which have been expressly waived hereunder, each Borrower waives all other defenses (other than indefeasible payment in full) which it may now or hereafter have to the payment by it of the Obligations. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder of any Obligation or with respect to the Collateral shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such right.

(iii) To take security in any form for the Obligations, and to the extent permitted in any security agreement to consent to (A) the addition to, (B) the substitution, exchange, surrender, release or other disposition of, or (C) deal in any other manner with, all or any part of any property contained in the Collateral whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of such power shall be of a character or value the same as or different from the character or value of any property disposed of, and to obtain, modify or release any present or future guarantees of the Obligations and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to proceed against any of the Collateral or such guarantees in any order;

(c) If any Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, such Borrower shall also pay to Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and taking into account any foreign tax credits available under Sections 901 through 903 of the Code or similar credit or exemption under a similar state law attributable to the Borrower’s payment of such Indemnified Taxes) Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made.

Adesto Technologies Corporation		Credit Agreement

If Lender determines that any change in or the interpretation of any Laws announced after the date hereof have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or compliance by Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling Lender as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of Lender, Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts to compensate Lender for (i) any Excluded Taxes or any liabilities excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes by Section 3.01, (ii) any reduction in connection with any penalties, interest, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) arising from the assertion by any Governmental Authority that Lender did not properly withhold any Tax or other amount from payments made in respect of Lender; or (iii) any change in the rate of applicable Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and (b) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have been implemented after the date hereof.

3.04. Survival. All of Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall survive for a period of one (1) year after the payment in full of all Obligations; provided, however, that the obligation of Borrowers to make any payment under this Section 3 is contingent upon the receipt by Borrowers of the certificate described in Section 3.03(a) within the later of (a) one hundred eighty (180) days after the repayment of all Loans, or (b) in the case of any Law retroactively imposing any cost or charge upon the Lender, one hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon which such Law takes effect.

provided, however, that communications delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 2 must be in writing and shall not be effective until actually received by Lender.

(b) Reliance by Lender. Lender shall be entitled to rely and act on any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such communications (A) were not made in a manner specified herein, (B) were incomplete or (C) were not preceded or followed by any other notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any subsequent related communications provided for herein. Each Borrower shall indemnify Lender from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of relying on any communications permitted herein.

(c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Documents and agreements delivered from time to time in connection with the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as hardcopies with manual signatures and shall be binding on Borrowers and Lender. Lender may also request that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed hardcopy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed hardcopy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile documents or signatures.

9.03. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents, and the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all reasonable Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), collection and enforcement or attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights under any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, or in connection with any refinancing, or restructuring of any such documents in the nature of a “workout” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, including Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender. Such costs and expenses shall also include administrative costs of Lender reasonably attributable to the administration of the Loan Documents. Any amount payable by Borrowers under this Section shall bear interest from the tenth day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate, unless waived by Lender.

9.04. Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. Lender may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Each Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrowers’ rights under the Loan Documents.

(b) Certain Pledges. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.

9.05. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender or any assignee or participant of Lender thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, any such notice being waived by each Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries which may be in the hands of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

9.06. [Reserved].

9.07. [Reserved].

9.08. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay by Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(b) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Any decision by Lender not to require payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

9.09. Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Lender shall receive interest or a fee in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be applied to the principal of the Outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest or a fee contracted for, charged, or received by Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

9.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.11. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

9.12. Nature of Lender’s Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Lender pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lender a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either with any Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.

9.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Termination of Agreement. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any Loan Document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery thereof but shall terminate when this Agreement terminates. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf. This Agreement shall terminate when all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by or otherwise owing to Lender have been paid, accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans has been paid, the unpaid principal on the Loans has been paid and all other amounts and Obligations then owing (including, but not limited to, fees and indemnities) to Lender under the Loan Documents have been paid.

This Section 9.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9.15. Nonliability of Lender.

Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any property of any Borrower made by or through Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and Borrowers are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of any Borrower);

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Lender;

2.2 Cashless Exercise.

As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute the subscription form attached hereto as Exhibit A, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 6 of this Warrant are true and correct as of the date of exercise.

3. ISSUANCE OF STOCK. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date that this Warrant, a duly completed and executed Form of Subscription in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2) payment of the full Warrant Price in accordance with this Warrant have been delivered to the Company, whereupon the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As soon as practicable on or after such date, but conditioned upon the receipt of this Warrant by the Company, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with payment of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.4.

4. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

During such notice period, Holder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms, and may elect to make such exercise contingent upon the closing of the Change of Control. Subject to prior exercise of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence, this Warrant shall automatically expire and be of no further force and effect without any action by the Company or the Holder as of immediately prior to the closing of a Change of Control.

5. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS.

5.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc. The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall each be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price of such share of Warrant Stock in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price for such share of Warrant Stock. The Warrant Price for a share of Warrant Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term “Common Stock Event” shall mean at any time or from time to time, any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or such other stock or securities).

5.2 Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Warrant Stock or Common Stock that is payable in (a) securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 5.1), or (b) assets, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the exercise date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

5.3 Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. Other than any reorganization, consolidation or merger that constitutes a Change of Control, in case of any reorganization of the Company (or of any other corporation, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), after the date of this Warrant, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation and then distribute the proceeds to its stockholders, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property of the Company, or of such successor or purchasing corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance.

5.4 Conversion of Stock. In case all (a) the authorized Warrant Stock is converted, pursuant to the Restated Articles, into Common Stock or other securities or property, or (b) the Warrant Stock otherwise ceases to exist or to be authorized by the Restated Articles (each, a “Stock Event”), then Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after such Stock Event, shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock and other securities and property that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Stock Event, the stock and other securities and property that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Stock Event, if, immediately prior to such Stock Event, Holder had exercised this Warrant.

5.5 Adjustment for Issuance of Additional Shares. In the event that the Company shall issue shares of its capital stock at a price per share less than the Warrant Price after the date hereof, the price at which the Warrant Stock may be exercised shall be subject to the same adjustment, if any, to the price at which shares of the applicable Warrant Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock as provided for in the Restated Articles.

5.6 Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.

5.7 No Change Necessary. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise.

5.8 Reservation of Stock. If at any time the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF HOLDER. Holder hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, that:

6.1 Purchase for Own Account. The Warrant and the Warrant Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Act, and such Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. If not an individual, such Holder also represents that such Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

6.2 Disclosure of Information. Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder had access.

6.3 Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of the Securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of Holder’s investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.

6.4 Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Holder is familiar with Rule 144 of the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except as provided in the Rights Agreement. Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the Securities and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

6.5 No Solicitation. At no time was Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Securities.

6.6 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(b) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with reasonable description of the material terms of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of Holder or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any transfer of the Securities in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule 144A; (ii) for any transfer of any the Securities by a Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership, member of such limited liability company or stockholder of such corporation, (B) a controlled Affiliate of such partnership, limited liability or corporation, (C) a retired partner of such partnership, (D) the estate of any such partner, member or stockholder; or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by Holder to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided, that, in each of the foregoing cases the transfer was without additional consideration and the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 6 to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Holder hereunder.

6.7 Legends. Such Holder understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Securities will bear legends substantially similar to those set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law, by the Restated Charter or the Company’s bylaws, each as may be amended from time to time, or by any agreement between the Company and such Holder:

(a) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH,

THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

(b) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF 180 DAYS OR MORE AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. AS A RESULT OF SUCH AGREEMENT, THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE TRADED PRIOR TO 180 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMMON STOCK OF THE ISSUER HEREOF. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

The legend set forth in (a) above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities.

The legend set forth in (b) above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities at the expiration of any market stand-off period.

6.8 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Holder hereby agrees that it takes the Securities subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Section 2.14 of the Rights Agreement.

7. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive dividend rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. In the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a shareholder of the Company for any purpose.

8. REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT. The original Holder of this Warrant is entitled, with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise hereof or the shares of Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of such shares of Warrant Stock as the case may be, to certain registration rights and other rights and is subject to certain obligations under the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights and obligations under the Rights Agreement that the original Holder of this Warrant is entitled to may only be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Rights Agreement.

9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt from the Holder of (a) an affidavit of loss or similar instrument (and, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the accompanying surrender thereof),

satisfactory to the Company, and (b) at the sole discretion of the Company, a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company with respect to the Warrant alleged to be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroy, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

10. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of: (a) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, (b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, (c) the Company making or issuing, or fixing a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to shares of capital stock of the Company, or (d) a Stock Event (each, a “Corporate Action”), the Company will provide 5 days prior written notice to the Holder specifying the expected date on which any record is to be taken for the purpose of such Corporate Action and the date or expected date on which any such Corporate Action is to be consummated.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1 Costs And Attorneys’ Fees.

(c) Lender may file any claim and take any other action in any court of law or equity which Lender determines to be appropriate for the purpose of collecting any or all of the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated in any manner to make any demand or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any or all of the Accounts.

(d) Debtor, at Lender’s request, shall, and Lender, at Lender’s option may, give notice in form acceptable to Lender, to the Account Debtors: (i) of Debtor’s grant of a security interest in the Accounts to Lender; and (ii) of such additional information and instructions concerning Lender’s rights under this Security Agreement as Lender in Lender’s good faith business judgment determines to be necessary or appropriate.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

(e) Debtor shall, promptly following Lender’s request, deliver to Lender the originals of all Accounts Receivable Documentation together with the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guaranties, and other documents and property evidencing or securing the Accounts in the same form as received by Debtor, each of which shall be properly endorsed by Debtor to Lender, with recourse.

(f) Lender shall have the right to settle, accept reduced amounts, adjust disputes and claims directly with, and give releases on behalf of Debtor to Account Debtors, upon such terms as Lender, in Lender’s good faith business judgment, determines to be appropriate.

(g) Except as otherwise provided by the UCC and except for any of the following arising from Lender’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible in any way or under any circumstances to Debtor or any other party for: (i) 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; (ii) any act, omission, error or delay of any kind by Lender in settling, failing to settle, collecting, or failing to collect any Account, including any act or omission which results in the loss or impairment of the Debtor’s Account, including any act or omission which results in the loss or impairment of the Debtor’s rights against any third person; (iii) settling any Account for less than the full amount hereof; (iv) any failure or delay by Lender in enforcing or collecting any payment under any Account; or (v) the performance or observance of any or all of Debtor’s duties, obligations, representations, or the warranties under any other agreement or document relating to any or all of the Collateral, including the Accounts.

(h) If for any reason Debtor receives any payment in connection with any of the Accounts following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor: (i) shall immediately pay or deliver such payment to Lender in the original form in which received by Debtor; (ii) shall endorse to Lender, with recourse, all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing such payment; (iii) shall not commingle such payment with any of Debtor’s other funds or property; and (iv) shall hold such payment separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for Lender until paid or delivered to Lender.

6.7 Deposit and Investment Accounts. Lender may deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or similar agreement providing control of any Collateral.

6.8 Collection. Lender may take possession of and endorse and collect any or all notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment relating to the Collateral (including payments made under or with respect to any policy of insurance).

6.9 Postponement. Any public sale of any or all of the Collateral may be postponed from time to time by public announcement at the time and place last scheduled for the sale.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

6.10 Discharge of Other Claims. Lender’s sale or disposition of any or all of the Collateral shall transfer to the purchaser all of the Debtor’s rights in such Collateral and discharge all security interests and liens subordinate to Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, and the purchaser shall acquire such Collateral free of all such subordinate interests and liens.

6.11 Information. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for Lender to direct any prospective purchaser of any or all of the Collateral to Debtor to ascertain all information concerning the status of the Collateral.

6.12 Other Disposition. The Lender’s disposition of any or all of the Collateral in any manner which differs from the procedures specified above shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable to the extent such disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

6.13 Judicial Action. Lender may reduce Lender’s claims for breach of any of the Obligations to judgment and foreclose or otherwise enforce its security interest in any or all of the Collateral by any available judicial procedure. If Lender has reduced its claims for breach of any of the Obligations to judgment, the Lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of Lender’s perfection of its security interest in such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of Lender’s security interest by judicial procedure, and Lender may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights of Debtor therein.

6.14 Receiver. Lender may obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and, at the option of Lender, to collect, sell or dispose of all or part of the Collateral.

6.15 Discharge Claims. Lender may discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and Lender’s security interest therein. Lender, without releasing Debtor or any other party from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as Lender determine to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and Lender’s security interest therein.

6.16 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by Lender shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to all liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Security Agreement, including the costs and expenses of retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral and the costs and expenses of enforcing and collecting upon any or all of the Accounts;

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as Lender may determine in Lender’s discretion as more fully set forth in the Credit Agreement;

(c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of Indebtedness secured by any subordinate Lien in the Collateral if written demand therefor is received by Lender before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien if notice of the levy of attachment or execution is received by Lender before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by Lender the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish Lender with proof of its interest in the Collateral acceptable to Lender, and unless such holder does so, Lender shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and

(d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Debtor.

6.17 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of omission or commission by Lender, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.

7. LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY. Debtor shall at all times remain liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations for which Debtor is liable after any disposition of any or all of the Collateral and after Lender’s application of any proceeds to the Obligations.

8. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Debtor hereby irrevocably (until the Obligations are paid in full) appoints Lender, with full power of substitution, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power, in Lender’s own name or in the name of Debtor to do any or all of the following at any time after the occurrence and during continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) Endorse any checks, drafts, money orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing or evidencing the Collateral, or proceeds of the Collateral;

(b) Pay or discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances, or taxes affecting or threatened against any or all of the Collateral;

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

(d) Execute any invoices relating to any Account, any draft against any Account Debtor, any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any notice of lien, claim of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien relating to any item of Collateral;

(e) Grant any extension of time to pay any Account, compromise claims and settle Accounts for less than face value thereof, and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith;

(f) Commence, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any of the Collateral;

(g) Receive and open all mail addressed to Debtor and, in the exercise of such right, Lender shall have the right, in Debtor’s name, to notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail addressed to Debtor to such other address as Lender may designate, including Lender’s address. Lender shall promptly turn over to Debtor all of such mail not relating to the Collateral;

(h) Direct any financial institution which is a participant with Lender in extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Debtor, or which is an institution with which any deposit account or securities account is maintained, to pay to, Lender all monies on deposit by Debtor with said financial institution which are payable by said financial institution to Debtor, regardless of any loss of interest, charge or penalty as a result of payment before maturity;

(i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral, obtain payment of claim, and make all determinations and decisions with respect to any such policy of insurance, and endorse Debtor’s name on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment or the proceeds of such policies of insurance;

(j) Instruct any accountant or other third person having custody or control of any books or records belonging or relating to the Collateral to give Lender full rights of access with respect thereto;

(k) Execute on behalf of Debtor any document exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of or to lease, as lessor or lessee, any real or personal property;

(l) Sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as though Lender were the owner thereof for all purposes; and

(m) Execute on behalf of Debtor any and all documents and instruments (including notices of assignment) required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act for the direct payment of Accounts to Lender.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

9. WAIVERS.

9.1 Application of Payments. After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, Debtor waives the right to direct (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents) the application of any and all payments or collections at any time or times hereafter received by Lender on account of any Obligations, and Debtor agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply such payments or collections to the Obligations in any manner as Lender may deem advisable.

9.2 Notices of Demand, Etc. Debtor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Debtor may in any way be liable.

9.3 Confidentiality of Accounting. Debtor waives the right to assert a confidential relationship, if any, Debtor may have with any accounting firm and/or service bureau in connection with any information requested by Lender pursuant to or in accordance with this Security Agreement, and agrees that Lender may contact directly any such accounting firm and/or service bureau in order to obtain such information.

10. ACTIONS. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding which affects or which Lender determines may affect: (a) the Collateral; (b) Debtor’s or Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents; (c) Debtor’s or Lender’s rights under this Security Agreement; or (d) the Loans.

11. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement, or the Collateral and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred or paid by Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to the transactions between Lender and Debtor, under this Security Agreement or the Collateral (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Taxes and Other Expenses Regarding the Collateral. If Debtor fails to pay promptly when due to any Person, monies which Debtor is required to pay by reason of any provision in this Security Agreement, Lender may, but need not, pay the same and charge Debtor’s account therefor, and Debtor shall promptly reimburse Lender therefor. All such sums shall be Lender Expenses hereunder. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute: (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default. Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall he conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

12.2 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be made in the, manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

12.3 Release of Collateral. Lender shall promptly file UCC termination statements and any other instruments as necessary upon any Disposition by Debtor of any items or item of Collateral, to the extent such Disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement.

After such termination Lender shall promptly take, at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, all reasonable and customary action and execute such documents in accordance therewith as requested by Debtor to evidence and more fully effect such terminations.

12.5 Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

12.6 Amendment. This Security Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and the Lender.

12.7 Agreement Binding, Assignment. This Security Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Debtor and Lender. This Security Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Debtor may not assign this Security Agreement or any rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Debtor or any guarantor from their obligations to Lender. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, any Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder to the extent and in the manner provided for in Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now have or hereafter may have relating to Debtor or Debtor’s business, subject to Debtor’s reasonable confidentiality requirements and the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof.

12.8 Article and Section Headings. Article and section headings and article and section numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each article and section applies equally to this entire Security Agreement.

12.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Security Agreement and the Loan Documents are entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender, Debtor and guarantors (if any), as applicable, and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No other Person shall have any rights or causes of action under this Security Agreement or the Loan Documents.

12.13 Performance of Covenants. Debtor shall perform all of its covenants under this Security Agreement at its sole cost and expense.

12.14 No Waiver by Lender. No waiver by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Loan Documents shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender as required by the Credit Agreement.

12.15 Reserved.

12.16 Severability. Each provision of this Security Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Security Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

12.17 Integration.

(c) Depository Bank will not be liable to Customer for complying with Instructions originated by Secured Party upon delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control to Depository Bank, even if Customer notifies Depository Bank that Secured Party is not legally entitled to issue Instructions, unless Depository Bank takes the action after it is served with an injunction, restraining Instructions, or other legal process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining Instructions or other legal process.

(d) This Agreement does not create any obligation of Depository Bank except for those expressly set forth herein. In particular, Depository Bank need not investigate whether Secured Party is entitled under Secured Party’s agreements with Customer to give Instructions. Depository Bank may rely on any and all notices and communications it believes in good faith are given by the appropriate party.

(e) Depository Bank will not have any liability to Customer or Secured Party for claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any failure to comply with Instructions or delay in complying with Instructions if such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond Depository Bank’s reasonable control.

(f) Depository Bank will not have any liability to Customer or Secured Party for claims, losses, liabilities or damages suffered or incurred by Customer or Secured Party as a result of or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such losses, liabilities and damages directly result from Depository Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) In no event will Depository Bank have any liability to Customer or Secured Party in connection herewith for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect loss or damage whether or not any claim for such damages is based on tort or contract or Depository Bank knew or should have known the likelihood of such damages in any circumstances.

7. Priority.

(a) All of Depository Bank’s present and future rights against the Account are hereby subordinated to Secured Party’s security interest therein; provided, however, that Secured Party agrees that nothing herein subordinates or waives, and that Depository Bank expressly reserves, all of Depository Bank’s present and future rights (whether described as rights of setoff, banker’s lien, chargeback or otherwise, and whether available to Depository Bank under law or any other agreement between Depository Bank and Customer concerning the Account, or

which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing (collectively the “Obligations” and individually an “Obligation”). This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Lender first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Borrower or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon any Event of Default which is continuing by the Borrower in the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of the Lender, become forthwith due and payable to the Lender owed the same without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantor, except for notices required to be given to the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder may be required by Lender on any number of occasions.

Section 2. Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. The Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Lender forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to Lender, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Lender in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time after such amounts become due at the default rate of interest set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

Section 3. Payments. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Obligations will be paid in Dollars and otherwise strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto.

Section 4. Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free and clear of, and without reduction for, any Taxes or Other Taxes, which are now or may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by any Governmental Authority on payments hereunder, all of which will be for the account of and paid by the Guarantor. If for any reason, any such reduction is made or any Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Lender (except for taxes on income or profits of Lender), the Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Lender receives the same net amount which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes or Other Taxes paid.

Section 5. [Intentionally Reserved].

Section 6. Liability of the Guarantor. The Lender had and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any such other guarantor of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of the Guarantor hereunder that has not been released or discharged.

GUARANTY		[NAME OF GUARANTOR]

It is the intention and agreement of the Guarantor and the Lender that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable against the Guarantor to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if any provision of this Guaranty creating any obligation of the Guarantor in favor of the Lender shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantor and the Lender that any balance of the obligation created by such provision and all other obligations of the Guarantor to the Lender created by other provisions of this Guaranty shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if by final order a court of competent jurisdiction shall declare any sums which the Lender may be otherwise entitled to collect from Guarantor under any other guaranty to be in excess of those permitted under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like statute or rule of law), it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantor and the Lender that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such applicable law shall remain fully collectible by the Lender from the Guarantor.

Section 7. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. The Guarantor hereby makes and confirms the representations and warranties made on its behalf by the Borrower pursuant to Section V of the Credit Agreement, as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein except that the conformation here regarding each representation and warranty that refers to a specific earlier date shall be that it was true as of such specific earlier date. The Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants set forth in Section VI and Section VII of the Credit Agreement (to the extent such covenants expressly apply to Guarantor) as if such covenants were set forth herein. The Guarantor acknowledges that it is, on a collective basis with the Borrower, bound by the financial covenants and other covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor hereby confirms that it shall be bound by all acts or omissions of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Effectiveness. This Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, and continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Obligations by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws or any other similar law, or by reason of any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Section 9. Freedom of Lender to Deal with Borrower and Other Parties. The Lender shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Guarantor and without relieving Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Borrower and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the

-3-


GUARANTY		[NAME OF GUARANTOR]

Obligations, in such manner as the Lender in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end the Guarantor gives to the Lender full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to the Borrower at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as the Lender may approve, (b) vary the terms and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or of any other party to Lender, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereto, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which the Lender now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments from the Borrower or any such other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrower or any such other party.

Section 10. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason the Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrower by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security.

Section 11. Waivers by Guarantor. (a) The Guarantor waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted by the Lender in reliance hereon, and any requirement that the Lender be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving notice of any default by the Borrower or asserting any other rights of the Lender hereunder. The Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses in the nature of suretyship that at any time may be available in respect of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.

GUARANTY		[NAME OF GUARANTOR]

(b) Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Lender forecloses, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust or mortgage securing the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) as interpreted in Union Bank x. Xxxxxxx, 265 Cal. App. 2d. 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though Lender may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust or mortgage securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding Lender may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of CCP §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code (“CC”); and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration therefor.

(c) Guarantor agrees not to claim or attempt to enforce any rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor under CC §§2787 to 2855, inclusive, until this Guaranty has terminated as provided in Section 8. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder.

Section 12. Restriction on Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable Law, unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or otherwise satisfied in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably defers and agrees not to enforce any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against the Borrower on account of payments made under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral which may be held by the Lender or any affiliate of the Lender. In addition, the Guarantor will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability it may have to the Borrower unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full.

Section 13. Notices; Demands. Any demand on or notice made or required to be given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,

3. DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL AND VOTING.

3.1 Collateral Delivery.

(a) Initial Delivery of Collateral. Concurrently with Debtor’s execution of this Pledge Agreement and delivery of this Pledge Agreement to the Lender, Debtor shall deliver physical possession to the Lender of every stock certificate, document, instrument and chattel paper which constitutes Collateral and obtain the fully executed Consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Any such items of Collateral that are certificated securities shall be duly endorsed in blank without restriction or with a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly endorsed in blank without restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed. To the extent that Debtor delivers to Lender one or more stock certificates each of which (“Foreign Subsidiary Certificate”) reflects an equity interest in any Foreign Subsidiary in excess (“Excess Equity Interest”) of the percentage set forth in Section 1.1(c) above (“Designated Percentage Interest”), Lender will be entitled to hold such Foreign Subsidiary Certificate to reflect and perfect its security interest in 65% of the equity interest in the Foreign Subsidiary, unless and until Debtor delivers to Lender a (i) replacement certificate reflecting the Designated Percentage Interest; and (ii) an acceptable legal opinion from a law firm reasonably acceptable to Lender that the replacement certificate was properly issued and is fully paid for and properly reflects the Designated Percentage interest in the subject entity and may be delivered to Lender as collateral. (Such replacement certificates when delivered or provided herein as referred to as the “Replacement Foreign Subsidiary Certificate”).

(b) Future Delivery of Collateral. If at any time after the date of this Pledge Agreement, Debtor obtains possession of any certificate or instrument constituting or representing any item of Collateral, (i) Debtor shall immediately deliver or arrange for the immediate delivery of such certificate or instrument to Lender; (ii) to the extent such item represents a certificated security, Debtor shall duly endorse such certificate in blank without restriction or deliver a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

endorsed in blank without restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed; and (iii) Debtor shall hold such Collateral separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for the benefit of the Lender until paid or delivered to the Lender.

(c) Uncertificated Securities. If any item of Collateral is an uncertificated security, Debtor shall either (i) procure the issuance of a security certificate to represent such Collateral and endorse and deliver such certificate as required by Section 3.1(a) above; or (ii) cause the issuer thereof to register the Lender as the registered owner of such uncertificated security; or (iii) cause the issuer thereof to enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, among the Lender, the registered owner of such security, and the issuer to the effect that the issuer will comply with instructions originated by the Lender without further consent by the registered owner; or (iv) cause the security to be credited to a securities account and execute an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Lender to permit Lender to gain control of such asset.

3.2 Control. If any Collateral is not capable of being delivered, Debtor shall deliver to Lender such financing statements or other instruments as are deemed necessary by Lender to enable it to perfect its security interest in such Collateral and obtain “control” or “possession” of such Collateral under applicable law.

3.3 Pledge under Foreign Law. To the extent that the pledge of the item of Collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than a state of the United States, Debtor shall, in lieu of compliance with the other provisions of this Section 3, enter into such agreements and documents as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the pledge of such Collateral to Lender.

3.4 Voting. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights and other consensual rights and powers with respect to the Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (a) Debtor shall not exercise any such right or power if, in Lender’s discretion, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or impair or otherwise adversely affect the security interest or other rights of the Lender under this Pledge Agreement; and (b) Debtor shall not be permitted to trade, invest, or sell the Financial Assets (as such term is defined in Division 8 of the UCC) without the prior written consent of the Lender.

4. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL REVENUES.

4.1 Delivery to Debtor; No Event of Default. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Revenues shall be retained by Debtor to the extent provided in Section 4.3 below.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

4.2 Occurrence of Event of Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall have the right to hold and apply the Collateral Revenues as provided below.

4.3 Payment of Cash Dividends and Interest. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends and interest payable in connection with the Collateral, except for the following, which are referred to as “Liquidation Dividends,” for (a) cash dividends paid or payable in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus, or paid-in capital of the issuer of such Collateral; and (b) cash paid, payable, or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral. If at any time and for any reason Debtor receives any Collateral Revenues other than those that Debtor is entitled to receive under this Section 4.3, Debtor (i) shall immediately deliver such Collateral Revenues to the Lender in the original form received by Debtor; (ii) shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents of transfer respecting such Collateral Revenues as the Lender may require, including an endorsement in blank of any certificate evidencing such Collateral Revenues; (iii) shall not commingle such Collateral Revenues with any of Debtor’s other funds or property; and (iv) shall hold such Collateral Revenues separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for Lender until paid or delivered to the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Lender holds a Foreign Subsidiary Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity Interest, Lender may receive and collect all Liquidation Dividends payable in connection with the entire Foreign Subsidiary Certificate. Lender shall refund to Debtor any Liquidation Dividends allocable to the Excess Equity Interest.

5. COVENANTS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

5.1 Debtor’s Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the other Loan Documents (and subject to Section 15.11 below), Debtor hereby covenants and agrees that during the term hereof and until all Obligations are fully paid and performed:

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Further Assurances. Debtor shall deliver to Lender promptly or ensure that Lender promptly receives (i) all Collateral that Debtor is obligated to deliver to the Lender under Section 3.1 above; (ii) all financing statements and all other documents that Lender deems necessary or desirable to evidence the transfer and pledge of the Collateral to Lender as provided in this Pledge Agreement; (iii) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Pledge Agreement, all Collateral Revenues; (iv) such specific acknowledgments, assignments, stock or bond powers, Regulation U Statement of Purpose forms, and other documents as the Lender may request relating to the Collateral; and (v) copies of records and other reports relating to the Collateral in such form and detail and at such times as the Lender may from time to time require.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

(c) Changes in Collateral. Debtor shall give prompt notice to Lender of any threatened or asserted dispute or claim with respect to the Collateral, which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Collateral.

(d) Subsidiaries. If there is a material recapitalization or restructure or acquisition of the equity interest in any Subsidiaries of Debtor, Debtor shall take such action as is necessary so that Lender shall have and retain (i) 100% of the equity interest in all domestic Material Subsidiaries wholly-owned by Debtor and organized under the laws of the United States or any state or jurisdiction thereof, and (ii) 65% of the equity interests of any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary.

(e) Perfection. From time to time upon Lender’s request, Debtor (i) shall execute and deliver to Lender, and give, file or record, at Debtor’s expense, all notices and other documents that Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order for the Lender to maintain a first priority (subject to Liens (including tax liens) in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over any Lien granted under this Pledge Agreement) perfected security interest in the Collateral; and (ii) shall perform such other acts, and execute and deliver to Lender such additional assignments, agreements, instruments and other documents, as Lender may request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or the Lender’s exercise of any or all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Pledge Agreement.

5.2 Debtor’s Representations. Debtor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

(a) Ownership of Collateral. Debtor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, except for the security interest in favor of Lender under this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Liens currently existing in favor of any foreign governmental authority, which to the best of Debtor’s knowledge do not currently exist.

(b) Status of Collateral. All of the Collateral consisting of securities has been duly and validly issued and is fully paid for and non-assessable. Except for Collateral that Debtor has previously disclosed to Lender as “restricted securities” or securities held by an “affiliate” (as such terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), including Collateral consisting of the stock of any subsidiary of Debtor, or as may be specifically stated to the Lender in writing prior to the date of this Pledge Agreement, all of the Collateral is transferable without prior notice to, or approval or consent from, any person or governmental or regulatory authority, and there exists no condition or restriction or restrictive legend to or affecting the transfer of the Collateral.

The assets described in Exhibit A as of the time of this Pledge Agreement are all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the entities described therein, except with respect to any First Tier Foreign Subsidiaries in which case they are only 65% of such issued and outstanding equity interests.

(f) Warranties and Representations Cumulative. The warranties, representations and agreements set forth herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations and agreements which Debtor shall give, or cause to be given, to Lender, either now or hereafter.

6. DUTY OF LENDER TO COOPERATE WITH READJUSTMENTS. Lender agrees to cooperate with Debtor to maintain the percentage interests set forth in 3.1(a) by adjusting the number of equity interests pledged hereunder in the event there is a recapitalization, restructure or acquisition of equity interests by Debtor relating to any of its Subsidiaries.

7.3 Lien Priority. Lender shall cease to have a valid and perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over the Lien granted in this Pledge Agreement) lien upon any material item of the Collateral purported to be covered by such security interest.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

7.4 Seizure of Assets. If all or any material item(s) of the Collateral is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon and such action could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

8. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. The exercise of remedies hereunder shall be made by Lender upon the terms and conditions contained herein. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and has not been cured or waived in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement, Lender shall have the following rights and powers and may, at Lender’s option, without notice of its election and without demand to the extent permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, do any one or more of the following (in addition to the rights and remedies permitted under the Credit Agreement), all of which are hereby authorized by Debtor:

8.1 UCC Rights. The Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under all other applicable laws.

8.2 Intentionally Omitted.

8.3 Intentionally Omitted.

8.4 Assembly of Collateral. The Lender may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender.

8.5 Possession of Collateral. Lender, without a breach of the peace, may enter any of the premises of Debtor and search for, take possession of, remove, keep or store any or all of the Collateral. If the Lender seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Debtor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court for such purpose without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations.

8.6 Foreclose on Collateral. Lender shall have the right to sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Lender may deem satisfactory. Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Lender is authorized, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Collateral to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of the Collateral. Upon any such sale the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind of Debtor or any other Person, including any equity or right of redemption of Debtor, who, to the extent permitted by law, specifically waives any now existing or hereafter acquired rights of

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

redemption, stay or appraisal. Lender shall give Debtor: (i) ten (10) days written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale; or (ii) two (2) days notice of any sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange. Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, and, in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof being so sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Lender may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender may determine. Lender shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Lender may, without notice or publication, postpone any public or private sale or cause the same to be postponed from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so postponed. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Lender shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. To the extent that Lender holds any Foreign Subsidiary Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity Interest, Lender may foreclose on such certificate in any manner permitted by applicable law or as specified in this Section 8 as regards any item of Collateral. Upon any sale of such Certificate, Lender will release to Debtor any consideration received in return for the sale of the Excess Equity Interest.

8.7 Judicial Action. Lender, in its discretion, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose its security interests in the Collateral under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Debtor agrees that any disposition of Collateral by way of a private placement or other method which, in the opinion of the Lender, is required or advisable under federal and state securities laws is commercially reasonable.

8.8 Collateral Revenues. Debtor’s rights, if any, to receive any Collateral Revenues shall automatically cease, and all Collateral Revenues shall be paid to the Lender. Any and all Collateral Revenues received by the Lender may be retained by the Lender as additional Collateral or, in the Lender’s discretion, may be applied toward the satisfaction of the Obligations. In such event the Lender shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for payment of money made payable to Debtor representing any dividend or other distribution payable or distributable in respect of any Collateral.

8.9 Information. Without limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for the Lender to direct any prospective purchaser of any or all of the Collateral to Debtor to ascertain all information concerning the status of the Collateral.

8.10 Commercially Reasonable Actions by Lender. Debtor acknowledges that it may be impracticable or extremely difficult to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

by reason of certain restrictions contained in state and federal securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect. Because of such restrictions, and without limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for the Lender to do any or all of the following:

(a) To resort to one or more private sales to a single purchaser or a restricted group of purchasers who may be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof; and

(b) To impose restrictions and conditions with respect to (i) the ability of a purchaser or bidder to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Collateral; (ii) the knowledge and experience of business and financial matters of a purchaser or bidder; (iii) the access of a purchaser or bidder to information regarding the Collateral; and (iv) such other matters as the Lender determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with any state or federal securities laws.

8.11 No Registration Required. Debtor acknowledges that some or all of the conditions and restrictions which may be imposed by the Lender pursuant to Section 8.10 above may result in reduced proceeds being received upon the sale of the Collateral than would otherwise have been obtained. Lender shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any or all of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit registration by the issuer of any securities comprising the Collateral, even if such registration would be possible under applicable state and federal securities law.

8.12 Other Procedures. Lender’s disposition of any or all of the Collateral in any manner which differs from the procedures specified in this Section 8 shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable.

8.13 Foreclosure. If the Lender has reduced its claims for breach of any of the obligations to judgment, the lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of the Lender’s perfection of its security interest in such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of the Lender’s security interest by judicial procedure, and the Lender may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights of Debtor therein.

8.14 Discharge Claims. Lender may discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as the Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein. Lender, without releasing Debtor or any other Person from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as the Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein,

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

8.15 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by the Lender shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to all liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement, including the costs and expenses of retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral;

(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as the Lender may determine in its discretion as more fully set forth in the Credit Agreement;

(c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral if written demand therefor is received by the Lender before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 701.040 of the Code of Civil Procedure if notice of the levy of attachment or execution is received by the Lender before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by the Lender, the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish the Lender with proof of its interest in the Collateral acceptable to the Lender, and unless such holder does so, the Lender shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and

(d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Debtor.

8.16 Voting Rights. Lender may exercise any or all warrants, options, conversion rights, puts, calls, voting rights, and other rights with respect to any or all of the Collateral (collectively the “Voting and Stock Rights”) in such manner and to such extent as the Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate, and Debtor’s rights and authority to exercise the Voting and Stock Rights shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pledge Agreement, the Lender shall have no obligation to exercise any or all Voting and Stock Rights, and the Lender shall have no liability or responsibility of any kind to Debtor or any other party for the Lender’s exercise or delay or failure to exercise any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights. In connection with the Lender’s exercise of any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights, the Lender shall have the right (a) to deposit or surrender control of any or all of the Collateral to any third Person; (b) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral; and (c) to take such other actions as the Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate.

9. LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY. Debtor shall at all times remain liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations, and is liable after any disposition of any or all of the Collateral and after the Lender’s application of any proceeds to the Obligations.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

10. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Debtor irrevocably (until the Obligations are paid in full and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated) appoints the Lender, with full power of substitution, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power, in the Lender’s own name or in the name of Debtor:

10.1 At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to do any or all of the following:

(a) Endorse any checks, drafts, money orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing or evidencing the Collateral;

(b) Pay or discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances, or taxes affecting or threatening the Collateral;

(d) Commence, prosecute or defend any suit, action or proceeding relating to any or all of the Collateral;

(e) Instruct any accountant or other third Person having custody or control of any Collateral Records to deliver such records to the Lender; and

(f) Sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with the Collateral as though the Lender were the owner thereof for all purposes.

10.2 To execute any security agreement, assignment, notice, and all other documents which the Lender, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate in order to (a) perfect or maintain the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral; (b) exercise any or all of the Lender’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (c) to consummate or effectuate any of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement.

11. WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of demand, dishonor, protest and nonpayment, and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default under, and enforcement of the Obligations. Debtor waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the enforcement of any of the Obligations to the fullest extent permitted by law. Debtor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses in the nature of suretyship that at any time may be available in respect of Debtor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.

12. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The Lender’s rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement are cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Lender may have in connection with the Loans. The Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement at the Lender’s option and in such order as the Lender may determine in its discretion. The Lender may exercise its rights under this Pledge Agreement from time to time and at such times as the Lender may determine.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

13. ACTIONS. The Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding which affects or which the Lender determines may affect (a) the Collateral; (b) Debtor’s or the Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents; (c) Debtor’s or the Lender’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (d) the Loans.

14. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender, and its respective officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral, and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to the transactions between Lender and Debtor under this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15. GENERAL.

15.1 Taxes and Other Expenses Regarding the Collateral. If Debtor fails to pay promptly when due to any person or entity monies which Debtor is required to pay by reason of any provision in this Pledge Agreement, Lender may, but need not, pay the same and charge Debtor’s account therefor, and Debtor shall promptly reimburse Lender therefor. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute: (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by Lender of any default under this Pledge Agreement. Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

15.2 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

15.3 Release of Collateral. Lender shall promptly file UCC termination statements and any other instruments as necessary upon any Disposition by Debtor of any items or item of Collateral, to the extent such Disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement.

15.4 Termination. At such time as Debtor shall completely satisfy all of the Obligations secured hereunder, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver to Debtor all instruments as may be necessary or proper to reinvest in Debtor full title to the property assigned hereunder, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Lender pursuant hereto.

15.5 Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

15.6 Amendment. This Pledge Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and the Lender.

15.7 Agreement Binding; Assignment. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Debtor and Lender. This Pledge Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Debtor may not assign this Pledge Agreement, or any rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Debtor from its obligations to Lender. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s or such Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder to the extent and in the manner provided for in Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information that Lender now has or hereafter may have relating to Debtor or Debtor’s business subject to Debtor’s reasonable confidentiality requirements.

15.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of the Loan Documents.

15.9 Article and Section Headings. Article and section headings and article and section numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each article and section applies equally to this entire Pledge Agreement.

On the contrary, this Pledge Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

15.11 Conflict or Credit Agreement Modifications. To the extent that there is an explicit conflict between the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Pledge Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control. Any future changes or modifications to the Credit Agreement, shall apply to and modify this Pledge Agreement, to the extent that such change or modification would reasonably be construed to apply, to this Pledge Agreement.

15.12 Performance of Covenants. Debtor shall perform all of its covenants under this Pledge Agreement at its sole cost and expense.

15.13 Term. This Pledge Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as any of the Obligations are outstanding or until terminated by written agreement of the Lender.

15.14 Severability. Each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Pledge Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

enforceability of specific provision. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if the Lender’s security interest in any part of the Collateral is held to be unlawful, void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason, such defect shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement.

15.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Debtor, as applicable, and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No other Person shall have any rights or causes of action under the Loan Documents.

15.16 Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

15.17 No Waiver By Lender. No waiver by the Lender or any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Obligations or any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender.

15.18 Article 8 Opt Out. No Debtor shall take any action to cause any membership interest, partnership interest, or other equity interest issued by it or any of its Subsidiaries to be or become a “security” within the meaning of, or to be governed by Article 8 of the UCC as in effect under the laws of any state having jurisdiction and shall not itself, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, “opt in” or to take any other action seeking to establish any such membership interest, partnership interest or other equity interest as a “security” or to become certificated unless certificates evidencing such membership interest, partnership interest or other equity interest are pledged and delivered to the Lender, together with all assignments separate from certificate and other documents as the Lender shall reasonably request.

15.19 Choice of Law. The validity of this Pledge Agreement, its construction, interpretation and enforcement, and the rights of the parties hereunder and concerning the Collateral, shall be determined under, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The parties agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Pledge Agreement shall be tried and litigated only in the state courts or federal courts located in the city and county of San Francisco, California.

16. AMENDMENT. This Pledge Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and Lender.

17. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS OF DEBTOR. Notwithstanding the rights given to Debtor pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1479 and 2822 (and any amendments or successors thereto), to designate how payments will be applied, Debtor irrevocably waives such rights, and the Lender shall have the right in its discretion to determine the order and method of the application of payments received from Debtor or from the sale or disposition of the Collateral

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

and to revise such application prospectively or retroactively at its discretion (notwithstanding any entry by the Lender on its books). Debtor waives any right to require the Lender (a) to proceed against any Person; (b) to exhaust any Collateral; or (c) to pursue any remedy in the Lender’s power in any order or whatsoever.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between the Lender and Debtor concerning the subject matter of the Loan Documents and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings, terms, conditions, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, made by the Lender or Debtor concerning the Loans.

SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS

Section [ ].1 Agreement of Subordination. [Adesto Technologies Corporation] covenants and agrees, and each holder of Notes issued hereunder by his acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Notes shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article [ ]; and each Person holding any Note, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Notes (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Notes called for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] [Notice of Redemption: Selection of Notes] or submitted for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] Redemption at Option of Holders], as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture) issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article [ ] shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section [ ].2 Payments to Noteholders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Notes to be called for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] [Notice of Redemption: Selection of Notes] or submitted for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] [Redemption at Option of Holders], as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section [ ].5, if

(i)

a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or

(ii)

a default, other than a payment default, on a Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Representative or [Adesto Technologies Corporation].

If the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section [ ].2 unless and until (A) at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice, and (B) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes-that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.


Credit Agreement		Schedule 7.10-1

[Adesto Technologies Corporation] may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes upon the earlier of:

(1) the date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or

(2) in the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) above, 179 days pass after notice is received if the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness has not been accelerated, unless this Article [ ] otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

Upon any payment by [Adesto Technologies Corporation], or distribution of assets of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of [Adesto Technologies Corporation], whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or payment thereof in accordance with its terms provided for in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness before any payment is made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except payments made pursuant to Article [ ] [Trustee Provisions] from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by [Adesto Technologies Corporation], or distribution of assets of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Notes or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provision of this Article [ ], shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the holders of the Notes or by the Trustee under this indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebted-ness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the Notes or to the Trustee.

For purposes of this Article [ ], the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article [ ] with respect to the Notes to the payment of ail Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

In the event of the acceleration of the Notes because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any holder of Notes in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Notes called for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] [Notice of Redemption; Selection of Notes] or submitted for redemption in accordance with Section [ ] [Redemption at Option of Holders], as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section [ ].5, until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, [Adesto Technologies Corporation] shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by [Adesto Technologies Corporation], for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing in this Section [ ].2 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section [ ] [Compensation and Expenses of Trustee]. This Section [ ].2 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section [ ].5.

Section [ ].3 Subrogation of Notes. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article [ ] (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] to substantially the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to


Credit Agreement		Schedule 7.10-3

It is understood that the provisions of this Article [ ] are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this Article [ ] or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among [Adesto Technologies Corporation] its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of the Notes, the obligation of [Adesto Technologies Corporation], which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Notes the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Notes and creditors of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article [ ] of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] referred to in this Article [ ], the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section [ ] [Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee], and the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders of the Notes, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of [Adesto Technologies Corporation], the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article [ ].

Section [ ].4 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each holder of a Note by the holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article [ ] and appoints the Trustee to act as the holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in the third paragraph of Section [ ] [Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor] hereof at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the


Credit Agreement		Schedule 7.10-4

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article [ ] or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Article [ ], unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from [Adesto Technologies Corporation] (in the form of an Officers Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section [ ] [Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not fewer than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section [ ].5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such movies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article [ ] to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Noteholders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Section [ ] [Discharge of Indenture], and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section [ ].1 or [ ].2.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section [ ] [Duties and Obligations of Trustee], shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders.

Section [ ].6 Trustee Is Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article [ ] in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section [ ] [Limitations on Rights of Trustee as Creditor] or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


Credit Agreement		Schedule 7.10-5

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article [ ], and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and subject to the provisions of Section [ ] [Duties and Obligations of Trustee], the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to holders of Notes, [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or any other person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article [ ] or otherwise.

Section [ ].7 No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by [Adesto Technologies Corporation] with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Section [ ].8 Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article [ ] only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Article [ ] [Conversion of Notes] shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Notes, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 15.[ ] [Cash Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares]), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Note shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Note. For the purposes of this Section [ ].8, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of [Adesto Technologies Corporation], or (b) securities of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are so subordinated as provided in this Article [ ]. Nothing contained in this Article [ ] or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among [Adesto Technologies Corporation], its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Noteholders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of arty Note to convert such Note in accordance with Article [ ] [Conversion of Notes].

Section [ ].9 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by [Adesto Technologies Corporation] and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article [ ] shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article [ ] in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section [ ].5 shall not apply to [Adesto Technologies Corporation] or any Affiliate of [Adesto Technologies Corporation] if it or such Affiliate acts as paying agent.

Section [ ].10 Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon this Article [ ], and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.
