1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following
GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term
"financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including"
and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without limitation," in this
or any Loan Document. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 13.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 PROMISE TO PAY. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay
Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the
unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions as and when due in accordance
with this Agreement
2.1.1 EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.
(a) Availability. From (i) the Closing Date through June 30,
2003 (the "Equipment Availability End Date No. 1"), Bank shall make advances
("Equipment Advance" and, collectively, "Equipment Advances") not exceeding the
Equipment Line, and from (ii) July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (the
"Equipment Availability End Date No. 2"), bank shall make Equipment Advances
upon Borrower' request, not to exceed the amount of the Equipment Line (in the
aggregate, including the original principal amount of all Equipment Advances
made hereunder). The Equipment Advances may only be used to finance Eligible
Equipment purchased on or after 90 days before the date of each Equipment
Advance and no Equipment Advances may exceed 100 % of the equipment invoice
excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation
expense relating to such Equipment, unless such costs constitute Other
Equipment. After repayment, Equipment Advances may not be reborrowed.
(b) Interest Rate. Interest accrues from the date of each
Equipment Advance at the rate in Section 2.2(a) and is payable monthly.
(c) Repayment. Equipment Advances outstanding on each
Equipment Availability End Date are payable in (a) thirty (30) consecutive equal
monthly installments of principal, plus, (b) monthly payments of accrued
interest, beginning on the Payment Date of each month following the Equipment

time one (1) Business Day before the day on which the Equipment Advance is to be
made. The notice in the form of EXHIBIT B (Payment/Advance Form) must be signed
by a Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment being financed.
2.1.2 UNDISBURSED CREDIT EXTENSIONS. The Bank's obligation to
lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations shall terminate if, in Bank's
sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general
affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or
the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material
adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower
presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.
2.2 INTEREST RATE; PAYMENTS.
(a) Interest Rate. The principal amounts outstanding under the
Equipment Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate
of the Bank's Prime Rate, and two percent (2.0%). After an Event Default,
Obligations shall bear interest at five percent (5.0%) above the rate effective
immediately before the Event of Default. The applicable interest rate hereunder
shall increase or decrease when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on
the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Payments. Interest is payable on the Payment Date of each
month. Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received
at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue. The
Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the Equipment Line owed
earlier than it is due.
(c) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit
accounts including Account Number ____________ for principal and interest

attorneys' fees and expenses incurred through and after the Closing Date) when
due.
3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS
3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION. The Bank's
obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition
precedent that Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank, the following:
2
(a) this Agreement;
(b) a certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to
articles, bylaws, incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and
delivery of this Agreement;
(c) Perfection Certificate (s) by Borrower;
(d) Loan Modification Agreement;
(e) Bailee/Warehouse Waiver;
(f) financing statements (Forms UCC-1);
(g) insurance certificate;

Section 2.4 hereof;
(i) Certificate of Foreign Qualification (if applicable);
(j) Certificate of Good Standing/Legal Existence; and
(k) such other documents, and completion of such other matters,
as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
3.2 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL CREDIT EXTENSIONS. Bank's obligations
to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is
subject to the following:
(a) timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form; and
(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 shall be
materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form and on the effective
date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is
Borrower's representation and warranty on that date that the representations and
warranties in Section 5 remain true.
4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure
the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the
performance of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing
security interest in, and pledges and assigns to the Bank, the Collateral,
wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all
proceeds and products thereof. Borrower warrants and represents that the
security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in
the Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as
Collateral.
Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor
is bound by, any license or other agreement with respect to which the Borrower
is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a
security interest in Borrower's interest in such
3
license or agreement or any other property. Without prior consent from Bank,
Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement
which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower's business or
financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain
the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary
for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Bank
to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or
prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now
existing or entered into in the future.
If the Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the
Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. If
Borrower shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall
promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details
thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the
proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be
in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.
4.2 AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower hereby
authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with
all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest or
rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by
either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights
of the Bank under the Code.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. Borrower and each Subsidiary
is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified
and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the
conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be
qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, the Borrower
delivered to the Bank a certificate signed by the Borrower and entitled
"Perfection Certificate". The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that:
(a) the Borrower's exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection
Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) the Borrower is an
organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's organizational identification number or accurately states that
the Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive
office as well as the Borrower's mailing address if different, and (e) all other
information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to the Borrower
is accurate and complete. If the Borrower does not now have an organizational
identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify
the Bank of such organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have
been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational
documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by
which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in
4
default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the
default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.2 COLLATERAL. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of
Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit account, other than the
deposit accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection
Certificate delivered to the Bank in connection herewith. The Accounts are bona
fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or
delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Except as set forth in the
Perfection Certificate, the Collateral is not in the possession of any third
party bailee (such as a warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to the Bank in
writing by Borrower, none of the components of the Collateral shall be
maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate. In
the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise
deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first
receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing
that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. All
Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from
material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property,
except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary
course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the
Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in
part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property
violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.3 LITIGATION. Except as shown in the Perfection Certificate, there
are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's
Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any
Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change.
5.4 NO MATERIAL DEVIATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All consolidated
financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly
present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material
deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of
the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.5 SOLVENCY. The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including
goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the
Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in
this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as
they mature.
5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Borrower is not an "investment company" or
a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending
credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board
of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or
rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has
been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge,
by
5
previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting
any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has
timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to
pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with
adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all
consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to
continue its business as currently conducted except where the failure to make
such declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause
a Material Adverse Change.
5.7 SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 FULL DISCLOSURE. No written representation, warranty or other
statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank
taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given
to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or
statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and
forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable
assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected
or forecasted results).
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower shall do all of the following:
6.1 GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE. Borrower shall maintain its and all
Subsidiaries' legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation
and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so
qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
Borrower's business or operations. Borrower shall comply, and have each
Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is
subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on
Borrower's business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change.
6.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS, CERTIFICATES.
(a) Borrower shall deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but

against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to

composition of the Intellectual Property, or the registration of any copyright,
including any subsequent ownership right of Borrower in or to any Copyright,
Patent or Trademark not shown in any intellectual property security agreement

affects the value of the Intellectual Property; and (vii) other financial
information reasonably requested by Bank.
(b) Borrower shall deliver to Bank with the monthly and annual
financial statements a Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in
the form of EXHIBIT C.
6.3 INVENTORY; RETURNS. Borrower shall keep all Inventory in good and
marketable condition, free from material defects. Returns and allowances between
Borrower and its account debtors shall follow Borrower's customary practices as
they exist at the Closing Date. Borrower must promptly notify Bank of all
returns, recoveries, disputes and claims that involve more than Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000.00).
6.4 TAXES. Borrower shall make, and cause each Subsidiary to make,
timely payment of all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments
(other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good faith,
with adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to
Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments.
6.5 INSURANCE. Borrower shall keep its business and the Collateral
insured for risks and in amounts, and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance
policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are
satisfactory to Bank. All property policies shall have a lender's loss payable
endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss payee and all liability policies
shall show the Bank as an additional insured and all policies shall provide that
the insurer must give Bank at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling its
policy. At Bank's request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies
and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy shall,
at Bank's option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any
casualty policy up to $25,000.00, in the aggregate, toward the replacement or
repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that (i) any such replaced or
repaired property (a) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or
repaired Collateral and (b) shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been
granted a first priority security interest and (ii) after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default all proceeds payable under such
casualty policy shall, at the option of the Bank, be payable to Bank on account
of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under
Section 6.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to
third persons and the Bank, Bank may make all or part of such
7
payment or obtain such insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any
action under the policies Bank deems prudent
6.6 ACCOUNTS.
(a) In order to permit the Bank to monitor the Borrower's
financial performance and condition, Borrower, and all Borrower's Subsidiaries,
shall maintain all of Borrower's, and such Subsidiaries, primary depository,
operating, and securities accounts with Bank.
(b) Borrower shall identify to Bank, in writing, any bank or
securities account opened by Borrower with any institution other than Bank. In
addition, for each such account that the Borrower at any time opens or
maintains, Borrower shall, at the Bank's request and option, pursuant to an
agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Bank, cause the depository
bank or securities intermediary to agree that such account is the collateral of
the Bank pursuant to the terms hereunder. The provisions of the previous
sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit
of the Borrower's employees.
6.7 FINANCIAL COVENANTS.
Borrower shall maintain at all times, to be tested as of the last day
of each month, unless otherwise noted:

minus Deferred Revenues of at least 1.75 to 1.0.

One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

and take further action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue
Bank's security interest in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this
Agreement.
7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower shall not do any of the following without the Bank's prior
written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.1 DISPOSITIONS. Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose
of (collectively a "Transfer"), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer,
all or any part of its business or property, except for Transfers (i) of

similar arrangements for the use of the property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries
in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) of worn-out or obsolete Equipment
7.2 CHANGES IN BUSINESS OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT OR BUSINESS LOCATIONS.

the businesses
8
currently engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto, or have a
material change in its ownership (other than by the sale of Borrower's equity
securities in a public offering or to venture capital investors so long as
Borrower identifies to Bank the venture capital investors prior to the closing
of the investment), or management. Borrower shall not, without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Bank: (i) relocate its chief executive office,
or add any new offices or business locations, including warehouses (unless such
new offices or business locations contain less than Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000.00) in Borrower's assets or property), or (ii) change its jurisdiction
of organization, or (iii) change its organizational structure or type, or (iv)
change its legal name, or (v) change any organizational number (if any) assigned
by its jurisdiction of organization.
7.3 MERGERS OR ACQUISITIONS. Merge or consolidate, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person, or acquire, or

Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted
Indebtedness.
7.5 ENCUMBRANCE. Create, incur, or allow any Lien on any of its
property, or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of
any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Permitted
Liens, or permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security
interest granted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Collateral
may also be subject to Permitted Liens.

permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except
for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, upon
fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be

connection with any investment by any one or more Affiliates that are venture
capital investors so long as Borrower identifies such Affiliate venture capital
investors to the Bank prior to the closing of the investment

Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail
to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or
regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations or would reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, or permit any of its Subsidiaries
to do so.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Any one of the following is an Event of Default:
8.1 PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations
within three (3) days after their due date. During the additional period the
failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but Bank shall not be
obligated to make Credit Extensions during the cure period);
8.2 COVENANT DEFAULT. Borrower fails or neglects to perform any
obligation in Section 6 or violates any covenant in Section 7 or fails or
neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other material term, provision,
condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any Loan
Documents, or in any present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and
as to any default under such other material term, provision, condition, covenant
or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10)
days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot
by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent
attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default
is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an
additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to
attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure
to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but Bank shall not
be obligated to make Credit Extensions during such cure period). Grace periods
provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial
covenants or any other covenants that are required to be satisfied, completed or
tested by a date certain.

immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's
benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and

and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights
or remedies;

Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or

charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing

rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit;
and

its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective only upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default to: (i) endorse Borrower's name on any
checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name on any
invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors;
(iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with
account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (iv) make,
settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; and
(v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign

of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred
until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further
obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank's foregoing appointment as
Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with
an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 ACCOUNTS NOTIFICATION/COLLECTION. In the event that an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower

Borrower for Bank, and, if requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver
such receipts to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are
Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at
the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank
shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's
waiver of any Event of Default.

reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral and Section
9-207 of the Code, to the extent applicable, the Bank shall not be liable or

Collateral.

Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has
all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's
exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any
Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver,
election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed
by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for
which it was given.

11. CHOICE OF LAW. VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
Massachusetts law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles
of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts; provided, however, that if for

of the courts and venue in Santa Clara County, California. NOTWITHSTANDING THE

12.2 INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower hereby indemnifies, defends and holds
the Bank and its officers, employees and agents against: (a) all obligations,
demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other party in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank

transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses), except for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
12.3 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Borrower and any guarantor hereby grant to
Bank, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all
Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against
all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the
control of the Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit to any of them.
At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof
and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower and any guarantor
even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE
OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY

and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter,
and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge
into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
12.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which,
when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute
one Agreement.

this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding.
The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until
the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall

subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower; (ii)
to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit

this provision); (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order,
(iv) as required in connection with Bank's examination or audit; and (v) as Bank

Dear Steve:
This letter is written in connection with that certain Loan and Security
Agreement between Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank") and Constant Contact, Inc.
("Borrower") dated February 27, 2003 and related loan documents (as amended from
time to time, collectively, the "Loan Agreement").
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
Modification to Loan Agreement
Section 6.2(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
the following text appearing therein:
as soon as available, but no later than one hundred eighty (180) days
after the last day of Borrower's fiscal year, audited consolidated
financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied,
together with an unqualified opinion on the financial statements from
an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable
to Bank;
And substituting the following text therefore:
as soon as available, but no later than two hundred seventy (270) days
after the last day of Borrower's fiscal year, audited consolidated
financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied,
together with an unqualified opinion on the financial statements from
an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable
to Bank;
By signing below and returning a copy of this letter to Bank, Borrower
acknowledges that the Loan Agreement is hereby modified in accordance with the
provisions set forth above. Borrower further understands and agrees that in
modifying the Loan Agreement, Bank is relying upon Borrower's representations,
warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Except as
expressly modified pursuant to this letter, the terms of the Loan Agreement
remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to modify the
Loan Agreement in accordance with the provisions set forth in this letter in no
way shall obligate Bank to make any future waivers or modifications to the Loan
Agreement. Nothing in this letter shall constitute a satisfaction of the
Borrower's indebtedness to Bank. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to
retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the Loan Agreement, unless
the party is expressly released by in writing. No maker or endorser will be
released by virtue of this letter.
The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this letter, but also to all
subsequent loan modification agreements.
The provisions of this letter shall not be deemed effective until such time as
Borrower shall have returned a countersigned copy to Bank.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Naomi B. Herman
