CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate so as to make the information contained not
misleading. These interim financial statements and the notes should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the
Company's 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999. In the Company's opinion, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
fair presentation of the information shown have been included. Generally
accepted accounting standards also requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. Significant estimates include those made for software
development costs, reserve for inventories, the allowance for uncollectible
accounts, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may
be expected for the year ending June 30, 2000.
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted per share data
includes the dilutive effect s of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Since the effects of the outstanding options, warrants and convertible
securities are anti-dilutive, they are not included in the calculation of
diluted loss per share.
The Company's operating results and financial condition may be impacted by a
number of factors including, but not limited to the following, any of which
could cause actual results to vary materially from current and historical
results or the Company's anticipated future results. A portion of the Company's
revenue is derived from its international operations and sources. As a result,
the Company's operations and financial results have been affected by
international factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or
weak economic conditions in the international markets in which the Company
distributes its products. The network security industry is highly competitive
and competition is expected to intensify. There are numerous companies
competing in segments of the market in which the Company does business.
Competitors include organizations significantly larger and with more
development, marketing and financial resources than the Company. In addition,
the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties which include, but are not
limited to, the timely development of and acceptance of new products, impact of
competitive products, regulation, inventory obsolescence, the ultimate outcome
of certain litigation matters, and cash balances in excess of federally insured
limits.
2. LITIGATION
In August 1998, the Company and certain current and former officers and
directors were named as defendants in 25 shareholder lawsuits filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. All of the
lawsuits purport to be brought on behalf of a class of all persons who
purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common stock during various
periods from October 7, 1997, through August 24, 1998. The lawsuits allege,
among other things, that as a result of accounting issues relating to the
Company's revenue recognition practices, defendants knowingly or recklessly
caused the Company to publish false and misleading financial statements which
5
<PAGE> 6
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
caused the Company's common stock prices to rise artificially. One lawsuit also
alleges violations of common law. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified
amount of damages, interest, costs and attorney fees. These cases have been
transferred and consolidated into a single case for purposes of all pre-trial
matters and trial (the "Shareholder Litigation"). An amended consolidated
complaint was filed on August 23, 1999, after the filing of the Company's
restated financial results. On October 30, 1999, the Company filed a Motion to
Dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Class Action Complaint.
The Company's obligation to indemnify its officers and directors under the
aforementioned lawsuits is insured to the extent of the limits of the
applicable insurance policies. The Company has notified its insurance carrier
of the existence of the lawsuits, and the carrier has sent the Company a
reservation of rights letter. The Company intends to vigorously defend these
actions, and believes that in the event that it is unsuccessful, insurance
coverage will be available to defray a portion, or substantially all, of the
expense of defending and settling the lawsuits or paying a judgment. However,
the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending the
lawsuits or if unsuccessful, insurance will be available to pay all or any
portion of the expense of the lawsuits. If the Company is unsuccessful in
defending the lawsuits and the insurance coverage is unavailable or
insufficient, the resolution of the lawsuits could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments related to these matters.
On April 30, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
TradeWave division to Digital Signature Trust Company ("DST"). In June 1999,
CyberGuard filed a lawsuit against DST and Zions First National Bank, N.A. that
alleged breach of contract, tortious interference and fraud. Also in June 1999,
DST filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment, with unspecified damages, and
rescission and reformation of contract. The Company and DST agreed to settle
both actions on October 29, 1999.
On September 16, 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP ("KPMG") and August A. Smith, the KPMG engagement partner, Case No.
99-21700CA05, in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for
Miami-Dade County. The Company alleges KPMG failed to properly audit the
Company's financial statements and provided inaccurate advice on accounting
matters for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 and on accounting treatment of certain
matters at the end of fiscal year 1996. The action alleges professional
malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and trade libel and
seeks damages in excess of $10 million.
The Company is involved from time to time in other litigation on various
matters relating to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that
these other litigation matters, single or collective, will not have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 26, 1999, certain directors, officers and employees invested in the
Company's convertible debenture offering, contributing a total of $614,000. The
interest rate on the convertible debt is 11.5% per annum. The debt can be
converted into approximately 614,000 shares of common stock at a conversion
price equal to $1.00 per share. In addition, the Company issued approximately
614,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $2.00 per share. The
warrants are exercisable any time before August 2004. The terms of the debt
agreement permit the conversion of the debt to common stock at a discount to
market. This discount is considered a beneficial conversion feature and, at the
date of

CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
issuance of the debt, is being recognized as interest expense over the shortest
possible conversion period. The convertible debt is subordinated to the
Company's senior debt.
On August 26, 1999, David R. Proctor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
signed a promissory note in the amount of $100,000 to facilitate his
participation in the convertible debt offering. The interest rate on the note is
11.5% per annum. The promissory note is being repaid bi-weekly in lieu of
salary, including any bonus payments. The note is expected to be paid in full by
March 2000.
4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 11, 1999, the Company appointed the accounting firm of Grant
Thornton LLP as the Company's independent accountants for fiscal year 2000 and
dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP effective with such appointment. The
decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and appoint Grant Thornton LLP
was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
On October 29, 1999, the Company and DST agreed to settle both lawsuits
resulting from the sale of CyberGuard's TradeWave division to DST on April 30,
1999. The Company will receive $135,000 from funds being held in escrow and
will execute a $60,000 non-interest-bearing promissory note with a maturity date
of October 28, 2000.
On October 30, 1999, the Company filed a Motion in the Shareholder Litigation to
Dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Class Action Complaint, which was filed on August
23, 1999, after the filing of the Company's restated financial results.

(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company provides a full suite of products and services for the network
security industry. The products offered by the Company include the
CyberGuard(R) Firewall, proprietary and third-party technology (such as Virtual
Private Network, authentication, virus scanning, encryption, advanced
reporting, high availability and centralized management), and consulting,
support, and installation services.
As previously announced, due to a review of its revenue recognition policy
relating to distributors and resellers, the Company has restated the results
for the first three quarters of fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, as filed in
the Form 8K, July 30, 1999, and included in the Form 10K filed on August 31,
1999. As a result, the financial information regarding the 1998 fiscal year
presented in this Item 2 and elsewhere in the Form 10-Q, is as restated, unless
otherwise indicated.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to the quarter ended September
30, 1998
NET REVENUES
Net revenues consist primarily of network security products and services
including third party security products and service and support related to
security products. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, net revenues
increased by $2.3 million when compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1998. The $2.3 million increase was comprised of an increase of $1.7 million in
network security product revenues and an increase of $0.6 million in service
revenues. The $1.7 million or 116% increase in network security product revenues
is due primarily to the Company's recovery from the effect of the announcement
on August 24, 1998 regarding the expected restatement of the prior year
financial results. That announcement had a dampening effect on revenues for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998. Revenues from support services related to
firewall products and certificate authority increased $0.5 million from $0.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $1.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to the continued
growth in the number of installed units over the prior year. Support services
for network security products accounted for 24.7% of revenues during the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 24.6% of revenues during the quarter
ended September 30, 1998.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross Profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 72% from 41% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999. The increase is attributable to the increased
level of revenues relative to the fixed cost components of cost of revenues, to
the shift in product mix to predominately software only sales, and to the
absence of any former TradeWave Division operations.
OPERATING EXPENSES, OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE AND NET LOSS
Overall, operating expenses decreased $1.3 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 to $3.3 million. This is due to decreased compensation and
related employee costs (the Company's headcount decreased 31% compared to
September 30, 1998), reduced level of professional accounting and legal fees,
and better cost controls over outside consulting and other third party
contracts.
Other Income and Expense decreased $2.1 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 to ($0.3) million. This is due in part to a one-time gain on sale of
assets of $1.8 million during 1998 related to the sale of the Company's Galaxy
8
<PAGE> 9
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
Search Engine. It is also in part related to an increase in interest expense of
$0.3 million associated with the issuance of the new convertible debt, the
payment of the original convertible debt, and the revolving line of credit.
The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was $0.6 million compared
to $1.9 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The Company did not provide
for income taxes due to the significant net operating loss carryforwards
available.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has experienced losses since its inception as a network security
company. The Company's historical uses of cash have been to fund net losses
from operations, establish inventory stocking levels, and fund capital
expenditures for property, equipment and software. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $584,000
on revenues of approximately $4.3 million. For the quarter ended September 30,
1998, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1.9 million on revenues
of approximately $2.0 million.
The Company and certain former officers and directors were named in twenty-five
shareholder lawsuits. The plaintiffs sued for unspecified compensatory damages,
legal fees, and litigation costs. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome or potential financial impact of this litigation.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the realization of assets and the recognition and satisfaction of
liabilities that might be necessary as a result of the matters described in
this Item 2 or Part II, Item 1 of this report. At September 30, 1999, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $2.2 million representing a
decrease of $0.4 million from $2.6 million as of June 30, 1999. Accounts
payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $2.6 million, accounts receivable
increased by $.9 million, property and equipment decreased $0.07 million, and
inventory levels decreased by $0.05 million compared to June 30, 1999.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity at September 30, 1999, consisted
of cash, accounts receivable, a revolving line of credit with Coast Business
Credit, and vendor trade credit. The revolving line of credit with Coast
Business Credit is based on available eligible account receivables and
inventory. The line of credit decreased $.6 million, from $2.0 million to $1.4
million compared to June 30, 1999.
On August 26, 1999, the Company entered into a financing transaction with
Fernwood Partners II, LLC ("Fernwood") and certain officers, directors and
employees of the Company, through which the Company obtained a total amount of
$4,313,484 (the "Fernwood Financing"). In the Fernwood Financing, Fernwood
provided $3,699,484 and certain other directors, executive officers and
employees of the Company provided $614,000. All of the financing consisted of
promissory notes convertible into the Company's Common Stock at $1 per share
and warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $2.00 per share. The terms of the debt agreement permit the conversion
of the debt to common stock at a discount to market. This discount is
considered a beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature
at the date of issuance of the debt of $1,069,621 is being recognized over the
thirty-four month conversion period. The Fernwood Financing bears interest at a
rate of 11.5% per annum and is secured by a lien on all of the Company's assets.
Part of the proceeds from this financing was used to repay a $1,125,000 loan and
accrued interest to Fernwood Partners, LLC, a limited liability company that
provided financing to the Company in December 1998.
The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency for financial
statement purposes. The Company conducts business in numerous countries around
the world through its international subsidiary that uses the local currency to
denominate its transactions. Therefore, the Company is subject to certain risks
associated with fluctuating foreign currencies. The resulting changes in the
financial statements do not indicate any underlying changes in the financial
9
<PAGE> 10
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
position of the international subsidiary, but merely reflect the adjustment in
the carrying value of the net assets of this subsidiary at the current U.S.
dollar exchange rate.
Due to the long-term nature of the Company's investment in this subsidiary, the
translation adjustments resulting from these exchange rate fluctuations are
excluded from the results of operations and recorded in a separate component of
consolidated stockholders' equity. There was no significant change for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999. The Company monitors its currency exposure
but does not hedge its translation exposure due to the high economic costs of
such a program and the long-term nature of its investment in its European
subsidiary.
Based upon information currently available to the Company, including the
Company's current level of sales, its margins on sales, its expected levels of
expense, opportunities for selling additional network security products and the
availability of additional equity and debt financing, the Company believes that
it has an opportunity to execute on its business plans and achieve
profitability in the long term. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be able to execute on its business plans, or that it will not be
required to obtain additional financing or capital infusions. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that
such additional financing will be on terms and conditions acceptable to the
Company. Any additional financing may involve dilution of the interests of the
Company's then existing shareholders. The future liquidity of the Company will
be affected by numerous factors, including sales volumes, gross margins, the
levels of selling, general and administrative expenses, levels of required
capital expenditures and access to external sources of financing. Other recent
and possible future events that could also materially impact the Company's
ability to successfully execute on its business plans are described in
Information Relating to Forward Looking Statements of this Report on Form 10-Q.
RISK RELATED TO YEAR 2000 PROBLEM
The Year 2000 problem stems from the use of a two-digit date to represent the
year (e.g., 85 = 1985) in computer software and firmware. As a result, many
currently installed computer systems are not capable of distinguishing dates
beginning with the year 2000 from dates prior to the year 2000. Computer
systems or applications used by many companies in a wide variety of industries
may experience operating difficulties unless the systems or applications are
modified to process adequately information related to the date change.
Significant uncertainty exists in the software and other industries concerning
the scope and magnitude of problems associated with the century change. To the
extent Year 2000 issues cause significant delays in or cancellation of
decisions to purchase products or product support, due to the reallocation of
resources to address Year 2000 issues or otherwise, the Company's business
could be materially adversely affected.
The Company recognizes the need to ensure Year 2000 issues will not adversely
impact its operations. The Company has put into place a Year 2000 risk
management initiative. This initiative's scope covers both the Company's
information technology (IT) systems and non-IT systems and addresses all areas
of the Year 2000 issues as defined by the Information Technology Association of
America (ITAA).
Based on the ongoing assessment relative to the Company's current software
service offerings, the Company believes that the current versions of its
products are Year 2000 compliant. The Company has reviewed, and continues to
review, internal management information and other systems in order to identify
and to further modify those products, services or systems that may not be Year
10
<PAGE> 11
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
2000 compliant. Based on the Company's assessment to date, the Company believes
that internal management information and other systems are either Year 2000
compliant or will not require substantial effort or cost to make them Year 2000
compliant.
The Company's Year 2000 initiative also addresses vendor relationships (both IT
and non-IT) and their readiness/preparedness relating to Year 2000 issues. IT
vendors include software providers, hardware providers, service providers,
off-the-shelf software publishers and IT consultants. Non-IT providers include
electric power suppliers; vendors of uninterruptable power supplies and
generators, telecommunications service and equipment providers, business
partners, facilities maintainers and other non-IT service contractors. In the
event that third parties cannot provide the Company with products, services or
systems that are Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, the Company's business
could be materially adversely affected. To date, the Company has not discovered
nor does it anticipate any material Year 2000 issues with vendors and service
providers. Evaluation of vendor Year 2000 preparedness is an on-going process.
As the Company's Year 2000 evaluation does not evaluate its vendors' vendors
nor its vendors' customer base viability issues, the Company may be required to
develop contingency plans to address specific vendor/service provider concerns.
Many of the Company's customers maintain their Internet operations on servers,
which may be impacted by Year 2000 complications. The failure of the Company's
customers to ensure that their servers are Year 2000 compliant could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's customers, which in turn could have a
material adverse affect on the Company's business, if the Company's customers
are forced to cease or interrupt Internet operations or experience malfunctions
related to their equipment.
While the Company believes its Year 2000 initiative is appropriate given its
available resources, there can be no assurance that the Company will identify
and remedy all Year 2000 problems in a timely fashion, that any remedial
efforts in this regard will not involve significant time and expense, or that
such problems will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business. The Company has been addressing these makers on an ongoing basis for
the past two years and has incurred minimal cost to date, due to the dynamic
nature of the development process.
INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements regarding future products, future prospects, future profitability,
business plans and strategies, future revenues and revenue sources, future
liquidity and capital resources, computer network security market directions,
future acceptance of the Company's products, possible growth in markets, as
well as all other statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not
purely historical are forward-looking statements.
These statements are based upon assumptions and analyses made by the Company in
light of current conditions, future developments and other factors the Company
believes are appropriate in the circumstances, or information obtained from
third parties and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and
uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and that the actual results might differ
materially from those suggested or projected in the forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will
occur, or that results will not vary significantly from those described in the
forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that might cause future actual
events to differ from those predicted or assumed include: future advances in
technologies and computer security; the Company's history of significant annual
operating losses and the financing of these losses through the sale of assets
and newly issued Company securities; risks related to the early stage of the
Company's existence and its products' development; the Company's history of
losses; the Company's ability to execute on its business plans; the Company's
11

(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
dependence on outside parties such as its key customers and alliance partners;
competition from major computer hardware, software, and networking companies;
risks relating to the year 2000 problem; risk and expense of government
regulation and effects on changes in regulation; the limited experience of the
Company in marketing its products; uncertainties associated with product
performance liability; risks associated with growth and expansion; risks
associated with obtaining patent and intellectual property right protection;
uncertainties in availability of expansion capital in the future and other
risks associated with capital markets. In addition, certain recent events that
have occurred also are factors that might cause future actual events to differ
from those predicted or assumed, including: the impact of the restatement of
financial results for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, and
quarters ended September 30, 1997, December 31, 1997, and March 31, 1998; the
completion of the numerous organizational changes and the assembly of a new
management team for CyberGuard; the outcome of a purported class action lawsuit
against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors
relating to the restatement of financial results for the fiscal periods noted
above and an SEC investigation regarding these matters; the delisting of the
Company from the NASDAQ National Market; and the Company's past delinquency in
filing reports that were required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (which, among other things, restricts the Company from being able to
use Form S-3, a simplified method of registering securities for sale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission). In addition, the forward-looking
statements herein involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to economic, competitive, operational, management, governmental,
regulatory, litigation and technological factors affecting the Company's
operations, liquidity, capital resources, markets, strategies, products, prices
and other factors discussed elsewhere herein and in the other documents filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of the
foregoing factors are beyond the Company's control.
The Company's future success is based largely on its ability to develop and
sell increasingly technologically advanced network security solutions at
sufficient volume and prices to become profitable on a consistent basis. The
velocity of technological change has accelerated and the Company believes that
it is important to its future that it keeps pace with these changes. The
Company believes that competition will continue to intensify in the rapidly
evolving markets in which the Company is involved, and that the continued
development of technologically advanced products will be necessary to keep its
products current. The Company believes that its ability to generate adequate
cash flow from operations will be critical to its future.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES CONCERNING MARKET RISK
We have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in
interest rates. The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income
would not be significantly impacted by a 100 basis point increase or decrease
in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of
our investment portfolio. A fluctuation in interest rates would not
significantly affect interest expense on debt obligations since a significant
portion of the debt obligation is at a fixed rate of interest.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 24, 1998, the Company announced, among other things, that due to a
review of its revenue recognition policies relating to distributors and
resellers, it would restate prior financial results. After the August 24, 1998
announcement, twenty-five purported class action lawsuits were filed by alleged
shareholders against the Company and certain current and former officers and
directors. Each of these lawsuits was filed in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida. These actions seek damages purportedly on
12
<PAGE> 13
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common
stock during various periods from October 7, 1997 through August 24, 1998. The
complaints allege, among other things, that as a result of accounting
irregularities relating to the Company's revenue recognition policies, the
Company's previously issued financial statements were materially false and
misleading and that the defendants knowingly or recklessly published these
financial statements which caused the Company's common stock prices to rise
artificially. The actions allege violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. One action also alleges
violations of common law. Pursuant to an order issued by the Court, these
actions have been consolidated into one action, styled Stephen Cheney, et al.
v. CyberGuard Corporation, Robert L. Carberry and William D. Murray, Case No.
98-6879-CIV-Gold, in the United States District Court, Southern District of
Florida. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on August 23, 1999, after
the filing of the Company's restated financial results. On October 30, 1999,
the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Class Action
Complaint.
On April 30, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
TradeWave division to Digital Signature Trust Company ("DST"). In June 1999,
CyberGuard filed a lawsuit against DST and Zions First National Bank, N.A. in
state court in Austin, Texas. The action was removed to United States District
Court, Western District of Texas, Case No. 99-CA-431-JN. The Company alleged
breach of contract, tortious interference and fraud. Also in June 1999, DST
filed a lawsuit against the Company in United States District Court, District
of Utah, Case No. 99CV 0417G, alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation,
unjust enrichment, with unspecified damages, and rescission and reformation of
contract. The Company and DST agreed to settle both actions on October 29, 1999.
The Company will receive $135,000 from funds being held in escrow and will
execute a $60,000 non-interest-bearing promissory note with a maturity date of
October 28, 2000.
On September 16, 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP ("KPMG") and August A. Smith, the KPMG engagement partner, Case No.
99-21700CA05, in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for
Miami-Dade County. The Company alleges KPMG failed to properly audit the
Company's financial statements and provided inaccurate advice on accounting
matters for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 and on accounting treatment of certain
matters at the end of fiscal year 1996. The action alleges professional
malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and trade libel and
seeks damages in excess of $10 million.
In August 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") began an
informal investigation into certain accounting and financial reporting
practices of the Company and its officers, directors and employees. In
September 1999, the Company was notified that the SEC had begun a formal
investigation into certain accounting and financial reporting practices of the
Company and its officers, directors and employees.
The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation and
investigation described above in this Part II, Item 1. The resolution of such
matters could have a material adverse affect on the Company's results of
operations and financial position. The Company's financial statements do not
include any adjustments related to these matters.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On December 17, 1998, the Company executed an agreement to issue $1,125,000 of
convertible debt. The debt was convertible into 750,000 shares of Company common
stock at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. In addition, the Company
issued the debt holders 500,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock
at $2.00.
13
<PAGE> 14
CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
On August 26, 1999, the Company closed an additional offering of convertible
debt in the approximate amount of $4,300,000, from which the prior $1,125,000
convertible debt was repaid. The majority of the new debt is with the same debt
holders as the previous transaction. The interest rate is 11.5% per annum. The
debt can be converted, at the debt holder's option, into approximately 4,300,000
shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share.
In addition, the warrants from the December 1998 transaction were cancelled and
the Company issued approximately 4,300,000 warrants to purchase the Company's
common stock at $2.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time before
August 2004. The terms of the debt agreement permit the conversion of the debt
to Company common stock at a discount to market. This discount is considered a
beneficial conversion feature and, at the date of issuance of the debt, is being
recognized as interest expense over the shortest possible conversion period. The
convertible debt is subordinated to the Company's senior debt.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
During September 1999, the Company's senior creditor, Coast Business Credit
("Coast''), notified the Company it was no longer in default under the loan
agreement between the Company and Coast. As a result, the Company reclassified
the three-year note to non-current. In addition, pursuant to the Coast loan
agreement, the interest rate was adjusted to prime plus 2%.

HARRIS COMPUTER SYSTEMS CORPORATION
ARTICLE I
Shareholders
Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of shareholders shall
be held for the election of Directors at such date, time and place either
within or without the State of Florida as may be designated by the Board of
Directors from time to time. In the absence of any other designation, the
annual meeting shall be held on the last Friday in January of each year. To the
extent notice has been provided in accordance with sections 1.3 and 1.11, any
other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.
Section 1.2 Special Meetings. The Corporation shall hold a special
meeting of shareholders only (i) pursuant to a notice approved by the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or a
majority of the Board of Directors or (ii) upon delivery of one or more written
demands for a meeting describing the purpose or purposes for the meeting and
signed and dated by the holders of not less than 50 percent of all holders of
shares of all classes or series of the Corporation, voting as a class, entitled
to vote on the issues proposed to be considered at such special meeting.
Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever shareholders are required or
permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting
shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and,
in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting
shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the
date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at such shareholders'
addresses as they appear on the records of the Corporation.
Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or
special, may be adjourned from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some
other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the
time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for
more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is
fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
<PAGE> 2
Section 1.5 Quorum. At each meeting of shareholders, except where
otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws,
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote
on a matter at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum. For purposes of the foregoing, where a separate vote by
class or classes is required for any matter, the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented
by proxy, shall constitute a quorum to take action with respect to that vote on
that matter. Two or more classes or series of stock shall be considered a
single class if the holders thereof are entitled to vote together as a single
class at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum of the holders of any class of
stock entitled to vote on a matter, the holders of such class so present or
represented may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting of such class from time
to time in the manner provided by Section 1.4 of these By-laws until a quorum
of such class shall be so present or represented. Shares of its own capital
stock belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to
another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the
election of Directors of such other corporation is held, directly or
indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be
counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to
its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.6 Organization. Meetings of shareholders shall be presided
over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or in the absence of
the Chairman of the Board of Directors by the Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors, if any, or in the absence of the Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the Chief
Executive Officer, by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing
persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence
of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in
the absence of the Secretary an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of
the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary,
the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the
meeting.
The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by
the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right
and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all
such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of
the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for
the maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to
questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry
to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the
opening and closing of the voting polls.
Section 1.7 Inspectors. Prior to any meeting of stockholders, the
Board of Directors or the President shall appoint one or more inspectors to act
at such meeting and make a written report thereof and may designate one or more
persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If
no inspector or alternate is able to act at the meeting of shareholders, the
person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at
the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her
duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of
inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her
ability. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and
the voting power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and
the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and
retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges
made to any determination by the inspectors and certify their determination of
the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes
and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons to assist them
in the performance of their duties. The time of the opening and closing of the
polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting shall
be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxy or vote, nor any revocation
thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the
closing of the polls. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and
ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any
envelopes submitted therewith, any information provided by a shareholder who
submits a proxy by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission from
which it can be determined that the proxy was authorized by the shareholder,
ballots and the regular books and records of the corporation, and they may also
consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling
proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees
or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is
authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the shareholder holds
2
<PAGE> 3
of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for such
purpose, they shall, at the time they make their certification, specify the
precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from
whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the
means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors'
belief that such information is accurate and reliable.
Section 1.8 Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles
of Incorporation, each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such
shareholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. If the Articles
of Incorporation provide for more or less than one vote for any share on any
matter, every reference in these By-laws to a majority or other proportion of
stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such
stock. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may
authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy, but
no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven months from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be
irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it
is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power,
regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in
the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A shareholder may
revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting
in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another
duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.
Voting at meetings of shareholders need not be by written ballot unless the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock
entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at such
meeting shall so determine. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the
votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. Unless otherwise provided by
law or by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, if a quorum exists,
action on any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders will be
approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the matter exceeds the number
of votes cast against the matter. Where a separate vote by class, classes or
series is required, if a quorum exists, action on a matter by a class or series
is approved if the number of votes cast within such class or series in favor of
the matter exceeds the number of votes cast within such class or series against
the matter, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of
Incorporation or these By-laws.
Section 1.9 Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record.
In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the
Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor
less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is
fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given,
or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the
day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to
any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors
may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled
to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights or the shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to
such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining
shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 1.10 List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary
shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of
shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each
shareholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a
period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the
city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the
notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting
3
<PAGE> 4
is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place
of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any
shareholder who is present.
Section 1.11 Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals. At any annual or
special meeting of shareholders, proposals by shareholders and persons
nominated for election as Directors by shareholders shall be considered only if
advance notice thereof has been timely given as provided herein and such
proposals or nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under
applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the
Corporation. Notice of any proposal to be presented by any shareholder or of
the name of any person to be nominated by any shareholder for election as a
Director of the Corporation at any meeting of shareholders shall be delivered
to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal executive office not less
than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the
meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is first publicly
announced or disclosed (in a public filing or otherwise) less than seventy (70)
days prior to the date of the meeting, such advance notice shall be given not
more than ten (10) days after such date is first so announced or disclosed.
Public notice shall be deemed to have been given more than seventy (70) days in
advance of the annual meeting if the Corporation shall have previously
disclosed, in these By-laws or otherwise, that the annual meeting in each year
is to be held on a determinable date, unless and until the Board of Directors
determines to hold the meeting on a different date. Any shareholder who gives
notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith the text of the proposal to
be presented and a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder
favors the proposal and setting forth such shareholder's name and address, the
number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation
beneficially owned by such shareholder and any material interest of such
shareholder in the proposal (other than as a shareholder). Any shareholder
desiring to nominate any person for election as a Director of the Corporation
shall deliver with such notice a statement in writing setting forth the name of
the person to be nominated, the number and class of all shares of each class of
stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such person, the information
regarding such person required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of
Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the
corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the Corporation), such
person's signed consent to serve as a Director of the Corporation if elected,
such shareholder's name and address and the number and class of all shares of
each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such shareholder.
As used herein, shares "beneficially owned" shall mean all shares as to which
such person, together with such person's affiliates and associates (as defined
in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), may be deemed to
beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as well as all shares as to which such person, together
with such person's affiliates and associates, has the right to become the
beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or upon the
exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange (whether such
rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the
occurrence of conditions). The person presiding at the meeting, in addition to
making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the
meeting, shall determine whether such notice has been duly given and shall
direct that proposals and nominees not be considered if such notice has not
been given.
ARTICLE II
Board of Directors
Section 2.1 Powers; Number; Qualifications. The business and affairs
of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of
Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by law or in the Articles of
Incorporation. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3)
or more than fifteen (15) members, the number thereof to be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors. Directors need not be shareholders.
Section 2.2 Election; Term of Office; Resignation; Removal; Vacancies.
The Directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes, as nearly
equal in number as reasonably possible, as determined by the Board of
Directors, with the initial term of office of the first class of such Directors
to expire at the first annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, the initial
term of office of the second class of such Directors to expire at the second
annual meeting of shareholders thereafter and the initial term of office of the
third class of such Directors to expire at the third annual meeting thereafter,
with each class of Directors to hold office until their successors have been
duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of shareholders following
such initial classification and election, Directors elected to succeed the
4
<PAGE> 5
Directors whose terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders in the third
year following the year of their election and until their successors have been
duly elected and qualified. If the number of Directors is changed, any increase
or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain or attain
a number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as reasonably possible, but
no decrease in the number of Directors may shorten the term of any incumbent
Director. Any Director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board
of Directors or to the President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Such
resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and unless
otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such resignation shall be
necessary to make it effective. Any Director or the entire Board of Directors
may be removed, only with cause in accordance with the provisions of the
Articles of Incorporation, by the holders of a majority of the shares then
entitled to vote at an election of Directors. Whenever the holders of any class
or series of stock are entitled to elect one or more Directors by the Articles
of Incorporation, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to the
vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not
to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole. Unless otherwise provided in
the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, vacancies and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors
elected by all of the shareholders having the right to vote as a single class
or from any other cause shall be filled by a majority of the Directors then in

Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are
entitled to elect one or more Directors by the Articles of Incorporation,
vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series
may be filled by a majority of the Directors elected by such class or classes
or series thereof then in office, or by the sole remaining Director so elected.

replaced, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his
or her earlier resignation or removal.

Directors may be held at any time or place within or without the State of

two Directors. Reasonable notice thereof shall be given by the person or
persons calling the meeting.
Section 2.5 Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone
Permitted. Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or
these By-laws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated
by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of
Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, by means of conference
telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a
meeting pursuant to this By-law shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting.
Section 2.6 Quorum; Vote Required for Action. At all meetings of the
Board of Directors one-third of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the
Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
the Board of Directors unless the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws
shall require a vote of a greater number. In case at any meeting of the Board
of Directors a quorum shall not be present, the members of the Board of
Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum
shall be present.

Board of Directors, if any, or in the absence of the Vice Chairman of the Board
of Directors by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his absence by a chairman

Section 2.8 Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or
of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the

Section 2.9 Compensation of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by
the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, the Board of Directors shall

ARTICLE III
Committees
Section 3.1 Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more
committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the
Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more Directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a
member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and
not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute
a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to
act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any
such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of
Directors or in these By-laws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and
authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and
affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be
affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have
the power or authority in reference to amending the Articles of Incorporation
(except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or
resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board
of Directors, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such
shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of
assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such
shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the
same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or fix the
number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease
of the shares of any series), adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation,
recommending to the shareholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the
shareholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution
or amending these By-laws; and, unless the resolution, these By-laws or the
Articles of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have
the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of
stock, to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger or to remove or indemnify
Directors.
Section 3.2 Committee Rules. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise
provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may adopt, amend
and repeal rules for the conduct of its business. In the absence of a provision
by the Board of Directors or a provision in the rules of such committee to the
contrary, a majority of the entire authorized number of members of such
committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, the vote
of a majority of the members present at a meeting at the time of such vote if a
quorum is then present shall be the act of such committee, and in other
respects each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the
Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to Article II of these
By-laws.
ARTICLE IV
Officers
Section 4.1 Officers; Election. As soon as practicable after the
annual meeting of shareholders in each year, the Board of Directors shall elect
a Chief Executive Officer and a Secretary, and it may, if it so determines,

Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may also elect one
or more Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Vice Presidents, one or more
Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and one or more Assistant Treasurers and
such other officers as the Board of Directors may deem desirable or appropriate
and may give any of them such further designations or alternate titles as it

<PAGE> 7
Section 4.2 Term of Office; Resignation; Removal; Vacancies. Unless
otherwise provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors electing any
officer, each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected
and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Any officer
may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board of Directors or to the
President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Such resignation shall take
effect at the time specified therein, and unless otherwise specified therein no
acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it effective. The
Board of Directors may remove any officer with or without cause at any time.
Any such removal shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights of such
officer, if any, with the Corporation, but the election of an officer shall not
of itself create contractual rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the
Corporation by death, resignation, removal or otherwise may be filled by the
Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting or by unanimous written
consent of the Board of Directors.
Section 4.3 Powers and Duties. The officers of the Corporation shall
have such powers and duties in the management of the Corporation as shall be
stated in these By-laws or in a resolution of the Board of Directors which is
not inconsistent with these By-laws and, to the extent not so stated, as
generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the
Board of Directors. The Secretary shall have the duty to record the proceedings
of the meetings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors and any committees
in a book to be kept for that purpose. The Board of Directors may require any
officer, agent or employee to give security for the faithful performance of his
or her duties.
ARTICLE V
Stock
Section 5.1 Certificates. Every holder of stock in the Corporation
shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the
Corporation by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any,
or the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation,
representing the number of shares of stock in the Corporation owned by such
holder. If such certificate is manually signed by one officer or manually
countersigned by a transfer agent or by a registrar, any other signature on the
certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the
same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at
the date of issue.
If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock
or more than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of
stock or series thereof and the qualifications or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided by law,
in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or
back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock a statement that the Corporation will furnish without
charge to each shareholder who so requests the powers, designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of
each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
Section 5.2 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates: Issuance of
New Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the
place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give
the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be
made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any
such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
Section 6.1 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be
determined by the Board of Directors.
Section 6.2 Seal. The Corporation may have a corporate seal which
shall have the name of the Corporation inscribed thereon and shall be in such
form as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors. The
corporate seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed
or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.
Section 6.3 Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Shareholders, Directors
and Committees. Whenever notice is required to be given by law or under any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, a written waiver
thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the
time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a
person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except
when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
shareholders, Directors or members of a committee of Directors need be
specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Articles of
Incorporation or these By-laws.
Section 6.4 Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. The
Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made
or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
such person or such person's testator or intestate is or was a Director,
officer or employee of the Corporation or serves or served at the request of
the Corporation any other enterprise as a Director, officer or employee.
Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by any such person in defending
any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the
Corporation promptly upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to
repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The rights provided to any
person by this By-law shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such
person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to
serve as a Director, officer or employee as provided above. No amendment of
this By-law shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with
respect to events occurring prior to such amendment. For purposes of this
By-law, the term "Corporation" shall include any predecessor of the Corporation
and any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger; the term "other
enterprise" shall include any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
employee benefit plan; service "at the request of the Corporation" shall
include service as a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director, officer or employee
with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries;
any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with
respect to an employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be
in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be
deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
Section 6.5 Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction
between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or
between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or
other organization in which one or more of its Directors or officers are
Directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable
solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at
or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof
which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her or
their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (1) the material facts as to his
or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the
Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or
transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested
Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum; or
(2) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled
to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in
good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is
fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or
8
<PAGE> 9
ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders.
Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a
quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which
authorizes the contract or transaction.
Section 6.6 Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Corporation
in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of
account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards,
magnetic tape, photographs, microphotographs or any other information storage
device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible
form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so
kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.
Section 6.7 Amendment of By-laws. These By-laws may be amended or
repealed, and new By-laws adopted, by the Board of Directors, but the
shareholders entitled to vote may adopt additional By-laws and may amend or
repeal any By-law whether or not adopted by them.

LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of
August 26, 1999, by and between CyberGuard Corporation, a Florida corporation
(the "Company"), and Fernwood Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("Lender").
1. Loan and Use of Proceeds
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Lender agrees to loan to the Company the aggregate principal amount of
$3,699,484.38 (the "Loan"). The Company's obligation to pay the principal of,
and interest on, the Loan shall be evidenced by the Note (as defined below).
The proceeds of the Loan shall be used (i) to satisfy the existing indebtedness
of the Company to Fernwood Partners, LLC, which indebtedness is evidenced by
that certain Promissory Note previously executed by the Company in the original
principal amount of $1,125,000, (ii) for payment of Lender's expenses pursuant
to Section 17 hereof, and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
2. Promissory Note
The Company hereby covenants and agrees to issue a convertible
promissory note in the form of Exhibit A hereto to the Lender (the "Note") in
the principal amount of the Loan. The Note will be secured by all of the
Company's assets pursuant to a Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit B
hereto. The Note will only be subordinated in right of payment to the Senior
Debt (as defined below) of the Company.
The Note will mature on June 30, 2002. The Note will bear interest at
the rate of 11.5% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Accrued interest shall be payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 1999, to the entity or persons in
whose name the Note is issued; except that interest accruing from the date of
issuance of the Note through July 1, 2000 shall be compounded quarterly on
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 1999, and added
to the principal amount of the Note. Any amount of principal or interest not
paid when due (whether at the stated due date, at maturity, upon acceleration,
or otherwise) shall thereafter bear interest until paid in full at the rate of
17.5% per annum. The Note may be presented for transfer or exchange at the
office of the Company, which office is currently located at 2000 West
Commercial Blvd., Suite 200, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309. No service charge
will be made for transfer or exchange of the Note.
3. Conversion Rights
The Lender will have the right ("Conversion Right"), at the Lender's
option, to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest of
the Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock
("Common Stock"). The number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note may
be converted ("Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the
aggregate principal amount of the Note, together with all accrued interest to
the date of conversion, by the conversion price in effect at the time of
conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price shall be equal to One
Dollar ($1.00), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Note.
Upon conversion of the Note, the Lender will have and be entitled to
exercise the registration rights granted pursuant to Section 13 of this
Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
the Note.
4. Warrant Rights
The Company will grant the Lender a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the
"Warrant") in the form of Exhibit C hereto that is exercisable into the number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate dollar amount of the Loan
(rounded to the nearest dollar) (the "Exercise Shares"). The Warrant shall have
<PAGE> 2
an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of
Exercise Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant. The Warrant shall have a term of five
(5) years.
Upon exercise of the Warrant, the Lender will have and be entitled to
exercise the registration rights granted pursuant to Section 13 of this
Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of
the Warrant.
5. Subordination
The Note is a secured obligation of the Company, in priority second
only to the existing indebtedness of the Company to Coast Business Credit, a
division of Southern Pacific Bank (the "Senior Debt"). The Note shall be
subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt. The Lender agrees to
execute any subordination agreement reasonably requested by any holder of the
Senior Debt.
No payment may be made by the Company on account of the principal of
and interest on the Note, unless and until the principal of and interest of the
Senior Debt is either current or until such payment default has been cured or
waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company or upon any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar
proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of
assets or liabilities, (i) the holders of all Senior Debt will first be
entitled to receive payment in full (or have such payment duly provided for)
before the Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Note and (ii) any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities to which the Lender would be entitled (by setoff
or otherwise), except for the subordination provisions contained in this
Agreement, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such a payment or distribution directly to the lenders of Senior Debt or
their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all
such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company shall be received by the Lender at a time
when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the holders of Senior
Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by the Lender, as the case may be, to the
holders of the Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their
representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt
may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for
application to the payment of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the
extent necessary to pay or to provide for the payment of all such Senior Debt
in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of the Senior Debt.
No provision contained in this Agreement or the Note will affect the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, when
due, principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note as and when the
same shall become due and payable. The subordination provisions of this
Agreement and the Note will not prevent the occurrence of any default or event
of default under this Agreement or the Note or limit the rights of the Lender,
subject to the preceding paragraphs, to pursue any other rights or remedies
with respect to the Note.
6. Conversion at the Company's Option
At the option of the Company, the Note may be converted into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Price if (i) shares of the Common Stock close at
a price in excess of Four Dollars ($4.00) per share for ninety (90) consecutive
trading days, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock into which the Note is
converted are fully registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and freely transferrable.

of Control
In the event that a Change of Control (as defined in the Note) has

and payable.

taken) within the applicable grace period (if any) provided for in such Loan
Document, (f) the occurrence of any event or condition deemed to be a default
under or as defined in any other Loan Document, or (g) the Company breaches of
defaults under any material contract or obligation which has or may reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of
the Company, including, with limitation, a default by the Company under the
Senior Debt; provided, however, the Lender acknowledges that as of the date
hereof, the Company is in default under the Senior Debt for failure to timely
file the reports listed on Exhibit D. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Loan Documents" shall mean this Agreement and the other documents and

The Lender makes the following representations and warranties:
A. Investment Purpose. The Lender is acquiring the Note and the
Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise
thereof, for its own account, for investment only and not with a view towards
the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted from registration under the Securities Act.
B. Accredited Investor Status. The Lender is an "accredited investor"
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.
C. Reliance on Exemptions. The Lender understands that the Note and
the Warrant are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and
state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and the Lender's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Lender set forth herein
in order to determine the availability, of such exemptions.
D. Information. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Note and
Warrant which have been requested by the Lender or its advisors. The Lender and
9
<PAGE> 10
its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the Company and have received what the Lender believe to be satisfactory
answers to any such inquiries. The Lender understands that its investment in
the Note and Warrant involves a significant degree of risk. The Lender further
acknowledges receipt of the "Risk Factors" supplement attached hereto.
E. Governmental Review. The Lender understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Note and the
Warrant.
F. Transfer or Resale. The Lender understands the limitations on
resale or transfer of the Note and the Warrant incorporated herein and those
additional restrictions applicable pursuant to securities laws.
G. Legends. The Lender understands that the Note and Warrant and,
until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of the Note and/or Warrant have been registered under the Securities
Act as contemplated herein, such shares may bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold,
transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration
statement for the securities under said Act, or an opinion of counsel,
in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company,
that registration is not required under said Act or unless s old
pursuant to Rule 144 under said Act."
13. Registration Rights
A. Form S-3. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this
Agreement or any other document to the contrary, the Company shall cause a
registration statement under Form S-3 to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("Commission") permitting the resale of the shares issuable
upon conversion of the Note and/or the exercise of the Warrant (collectively
the "Registrable Securities"). The Lender agrees and acknowledges that the
Company has advised the Lender that it is presently not eligible to utilize
Form S-3 because, among other reasons, of its failure to timely file its Form
10-K for its fiscal year ended on June 30, 1998, and its Form 10-Qs for its
fiscal year ended on June 30, 1999. The Lender further acknowledges that the
Company will not be eligible to use a Form S-3 for at least one year after it
has filed such Form 10-K, provided that it otherwise meets the "registration
eligibility" requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3.
The parties agree that the Company shall not be required to register any
Registrable Securities except (i) pursuant to a Form S-3, as and when available
to the Company, (ii) pursuant to the demand registration granted below, and
(iii) pursuant to the piggyback registration rights granted below.
Additionally, the Company acknowledges that Lender may at its option convert
the Note and/or exercise the Warrant into non-registered shares of the Company.
B. Demand Registration. To the extent not otherwise registered, after
one year from the date hereof the Lender shall have the right to demand from
the Company, at its expense, a registration of shares issuable upon conversion
of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrant pursuant to a Form S-1. If the
Company shall receive a written request from the Lender that the Company file a
registration statement under the Securities Act, or a similar document pursuant
to any other statute then in effect corresponding to the Securities Act,
covering the registration of at least 500,000 Registrable Shares (subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and other
reorganizations), then the Company shall within five (5) days after the Company
receives such written request to file a registration statement use its best
efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act the Registrable
Shares which the Company has been so requested to register. Any request for
registration under this Section 13.B must be for a firmly or best efforts
underwritten public offering to be managed by an underwriter or underwriters of
recognized national standing selected by the Lender. A registration requested
pursuant to this Section 13.B will not be deemed to have been effected unless
it has become effective.

C. Piggyback Registration. Subject to the limitations set forth in
this Section 13.C, if the Company shall propose to issue and register shares of
its equity securities on its own behalf or to register equity securities on
behalf of any holder of its equity securities under the Securities Act, the
Company shall give written notice as promptly as possible of such registration
to each of the holders of the Note and the Warrant (which notice shall include
the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and the number of its
equity securities proposed to be included in the Registration Statement), and
will use its best efforts to include in the offering such amount of the
Registrable Securities as any such holder (a "Participating Holder") shall
request to be included by written notice to the Company received within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Company's notice, upon the same terms (including
the method of distribution) as the equity securities being sold by the Company
or any such holder pursuant to any such offering (a "Piggyback Registration").
(i) Requirements of Request. Each request delivered to the
Company pursuant to this Section 13.C shall: (i) specify the amount of
Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Participating
Holder; and (ii) contain the undertaking of the Participating Holder to provide
all such information and materials and take all such action as may be required
in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of
the commission and state securities and "blue sky" laws and to obtain
acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement.
(ii) Limitations on Incidental Registrations. The obligations
of the Company to cause Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to
this Section 13.C are subject to each of the following limitations, conditions
and qualifications:
(a) The Company shall not be required to give notice
or include Registrable Securities in any registration if the proposed
registration is primarily: (A) a registration of a stock option, thrift,
employee benefit or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable
pursuant to any such plan; (B) a registration of securities proposed to be
issued in connection with a dividend reinvestment plan or stock purchase plan;
(C) a registration of securities proposed to be issued in exchange for
securities or assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with,
another corporation or other entity; (D) a registration of securities to be
offered by the Company to its then existing security holders; or (E) a
registration of securities which is a combination of any of the above.
(b) If the Company is advised by the managing
underwriter or its investment banking firm if the offering is not underwritten,
that the inclusion of Registrable Securities may, in the opinion of such
underwriter or investment banking firm, as the case may be, materially
adversely affect the successful marketing of the securities proposed to be
offered by the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be
included in the offering shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary
as shall be reasonably determined by such underwriter or investment banker, as
the case may be, in good faith; provided that as to the Participating Holders,
such reduction shall be pro rata with respect to all securities to be sold by
persons other than the Company; and, provided, further, that in such event, the
Participating Holders shall have the right to withdraw their requests to
participate in the offering.
(c) The Company may, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of or prior notice to any Participating Holder, withdraw
such registration statement and abandon the proposed offering in which the
Participating Holder had requested to participate at any time.
D. Prohibited Sales of Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall have the right to prohibit the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 13, upon
notice to the applicable holder (i) if in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, the Company would thereby be required to disclose information not
otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed, provided that the
Company shall use its best efforts to minimize the period of time in which it
shall prohibit the sale of any shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to
this clause (i), (ii) during the period starting with the date 10 days prior to
the Company's estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 90 days
after the effective date of, a Company initiated registration in which the
person requesting registration is entitled to participate in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 13 hereof, or such longer post-effective periods
11
<PAGE> 12
as may be reasonably required by the underwriter or underwriters if such
offering is underwritten, or (iii) upon the happening of any event, as a result
of which the Prospectus under the Registration Statement includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing (in which case, the Company shall
promptly provide the person requesting registration with revised or
supplemental prospectuses and such person shall promptly take action to cease
making any offers of the Registrable Securities until receipt and distribution
of such revised or supplemental prospectuses).
14. Indemnification
The Company shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender and its
shareholders, officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and
attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest
extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits,
actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all attorneys fees and

LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (the Agreement") is made and entered into as of
August 26, 1999, by and between CyberGuard Corporation, a Florida corporation
(the "Company"), and the persons or entities who have executed the counterpart
signature pages attached hereto (individually a "Lender" and collectively, the
"Lenders").
Loan and Use of Proceeds
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, Lenders
agree to loan to the Company the aggregate principal amount of $614,000.00 (the
"Loan"). The Company's obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the
Loan shall be evidenced by the Notes (as defined below). The proceeds of the
Loan shall be used (i) to satisfy the existing indebtedness of the Company to
Fernwood Partners, LLC ("Fernwood I"), which indebtedness is evidenced by that
certain Promissory Note previously executed by the Company in the original
principal amount of $1,125,000, (ii) for payment of certain expenses in
connection with a loan from Fernwood Partners II, LLC entered into on the date
hereof (the "Fernwood Loan") and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
Promissory Notes
The Company hereby covenants and agrees to issue a convertible
subordinated promissory note in the form of Exhibit A hereto to each of the
Lenders (collectively, the "Notes") in the principal amounts set forth on
Exhibit B hereto. The Notes will be secured by all of the Company's assets
pursuant to a Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto. The Notes
will only be subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt (as defined
below) of the Company.
The Notes will mature on June 30, 2002. The Notes will bear interest
at the rate of 11.5% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Accrued interest shall be payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 1999, to the entity or persons in
whose names the Notes are issued; except that interest accruing from the date
of issuance of the Notes through July 1, 2000 shall be compounded quarterly on
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 1999, and added
to the principal amount of the Note. Any amount of principal or interest not
paid when due (whether at the stated due date, at maturity, upon acceleration,
or otherwise) shall thereafter bear interest until paid in full at the rate of
17.5 % per annum. The Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange at the
office of the Company, which office is currently located at 2000 West
Commercial Blvd., Suite 200, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309. No service charge
will be made for transfer or exchange of the Notes.
Conversion Rights
The Lenders will have the right ("Conversion Right"), at the Lenders'
option, to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest of
the Notes into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common
Stock ("Common Stock"). The number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Notes may be converted ("Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with all accrued interest
to the date of conversion, by the conversion price in effect at the time of
conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price shall be equal to One
Dollar ($1.00), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the
Notes.
Warrant Rights
The Company will grant each of the Lenders a Common Stock Purchase
Warrant (collectively, the "Warrants") in the form of Exhibit D hereto that is
exercisable into the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Exhibit E
hereto (the "Exercise Shares"). The Warrants shall have an exercise price of
$2.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of Exercise Shares and the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of
the Warrants. The Warrants shall have a term of five (5) years.
Subordination
The Notes are secured obligations of the Company subordinate to the
existing indebtedness of the Company to Coast Business Credit, a division of
Southern Pacific Bank (the "Senior Debt") and of the same priority in interest
as Fernwood I under the Fernwood Loan. Each Lender agrees to execute any
subordination agreement reasonably requested by any holder of the Senior Debt.
1
<PAGE> 25
No payment may be made by the Company on account of the principal of
and interest on the Notes, unless and until the principal of and interest of
the Senior Debt is either current or until such payment default has been cured
or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company or upon any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar
proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of
assets or liabilities, (i) the holders of all Senior Debt will first be
entitled to receive payment in full (or have such payment duly provided for)
before the Lenders are entitled to receive any payment on account of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes and (ii) any payment
or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities to which the Lenders would be entitled (by setoff
or otherwise), except for the subordination provisions contained in this
Agreement, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such a payment or distribution directly to the lenders of Senior Debt or
their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all
such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company shall be received by the Lenders at a
time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing
provisions, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the holders
of Senior Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by the Lenders, as the case may
be, to the holders of the Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for or
their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for
application to the payment of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the
extent necessary to pay or to provide for the payment of all such Senior Debt
in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of the Senior Debt.
No provision contained in this Agreement or the Notes will affect the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, when
due, principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when
the same shall become due and payable. The subordination provisions of this
Agreement and the Notes will not prevent the occurrence of any default or event
of default under this Agreement or the Notes or limit the rights of the
Lenders, subject to the preceding paragraphs, to pursue any other rights or
remedies with respect to the Notes.
Conversion at the Company's Option
At the option of the Company, the Notes may be converted into shares
of Common Stock at the Conversion Price if (i) shares of the Common Stock close
at a price in excess of Four Dollars ($4.00) per share for ninety (90)
consecutive trading days, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock into which the
Notes are converted are fully registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and freely transferable.
Repurchase of the Notes at the Option of the Lenders Upon a Change of Control
In the event that a Change of Control (as defined in the Notes) has
occurred, each Lender will have the right, in its sole discretion, to declare
the entire principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes immediately due
and payable.
Events of Default and Remedies
The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement, and the Company shall give Lenders
immediate notice thereof: (a) the failure of the Company to make any payment of
principal or interest order the Notes when due, (b) if the Company fails to
comply with or perform any covenant, agreement or condition of the Loan
Documents or in the Loan Agreement of even date herewith between the Company
and Fernwood Partners II, LLC. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Loan
Documents" shall mean this Agreement and the other documents and agreements
executed in connection herewith (as the same may be further amended,
supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time), including,
without limitation, the Notes, the Warrants and the Security Agreement.
If an Event of Default occurs then all principal and accrued interest
on the Notes will be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Lenders. The Lenders are authorized to rescind
such acceleration if all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment
2
<PAGE> 26
of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes that has become due solely by
such acceleration, has been cured or waived; provided, however, the Lenders
shall have no obligation to rescind any such acceleration or waive any Event of
Default.
Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Lenders
The obligations of the Lenders to make the Loan is subject to the
satisfaction of the following condition precedent: if required, the Company
shall have obtained the written consent of Coast Business Credit to the
Company's use of a portion of the proceeds of the Loan to satisfy the existing
indebtedness of the Company to Fernwood I.

SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated as of August 26, 1999,
between CyberGuard Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Debtor"), and the
persons or entities who have executed the counterpart signature pages attached
hereto (individually, a "Secured Party" and collectively, the "Secured
Parties").
Recitals:
A. Secured Parties have loaned $4,313,484.38 to Debtor, which loan is
evidenced by Debtor's convertible subordinated promissory notes of even date
herewith (the "Notes").
B. The parties desire for Debtor to enter into this Agreement to,
among other things, grant a security interest in its assets to Secured Parties
in order to secure the full and complete payment and performance of the Notes.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, including in order
to induce Secured Parties to make the loan, Debtor hereby agrees with Secured
Parties as follows:
1. To secure the full and prompt payment of all obligations of Debtor
to Secured Parties, whether direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, now or
hereafter due or owing to Secured Parties from Debtor pursuant to the Loan
Documents, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Parties a security interest in the
following assets (collectively, the "Collateral"):
a. All present and future inventory, equipment, fixtures,
furniture, money, deposit accounts, and all other goods and personal property
of every kind and nature whatsoever, wherever located, now owned or hereafter
acquired by Debtor, and any and all present and future tax refunds of any kind
whatsoever to which Debtor is now or shall hereafter become entitled;
b. All present and future accounts, contracts, contract
rights, chattel paper, documents and general intangibles of Debtor, including,
without limitation, inventories, designs, drawings, blueprints, patents, patent
applications, trademarks and the goodwill symbolized thereby, names, trade
names, trade secrets, goodwill, copyrights, registrations, licenses, customer
lists, software, source code, intellectual property (including, without
limitation, patents, copyrights, licenses software, source code, and
intellectual property relating to Debtor's Firewall Software and all present
and future products, technology and services), now owned or hereafter acquired
or created by Debtor, and all rights of Debtor now or hereafter existing in and
to all other contracts relating to any such accounts, contracts, contract
rights, chattel paper, rights to payment, documents, instruments, and general
intangibles;
c. all books, records, writings, data bases, information and
other property relating to, used or useful in connection with, evidencing,
embodying, incorporating or referring to, any of the Collateral heretofore
described;
d. All present and future increases, profits, combinations,
reclassifications, improvements, and products of, accessions, attachments, and
other additions to, tools, parts, and equipment used in connection with, and
substitutes and replacements for, all or part of the Collateral heretofore
described;
e. All present and future accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, chattel paper, documents, instruments, cash and noncash proceeds,
and other rights arising from or by virtue of, or from the voluntary or
involuntary sale, lease, or other disposition of, or collections with respect
to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or proceeds payable by
virtue of warranty or other claims against manufacturers of, or claims against
any other person with respect to, all or any part of the Collateral heretofore
described in this clause otherwise; and

<PAGE> 37
f. All present and future security for the payment to Debtor
of any of the Collateral heretofore described and goods which gave or will give
rise to any of such Collateral or are evidenced, identified, or represented
therein or thereby.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Loan Documents"
shall mean any other documents or instruments executed in connection herewith,
including, without limitation, the Notes and the Loan Agreement of even date
herewith between Debtor and each of the Secured Parties (as the same may be
further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time).
2. Debtor represents, covenants and warrants that:
a. Its principal place of business will continue to be 2000
W. Commercial Blvd., Suite 200, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309.
b. Debtor shall sign and execute any financing statement or
other documents required to perfect Secured Parties' security interest and pay
all costs necessary to protect the security interest under this Agreement
against the rights or interests of third parties, other than the rights of
Debtor's existing secured lender, Coast Business Credit ("Coast").
c. Debtor authorizes Secured Parties to file one or more
financing statements signed only by Secured Parties describing the Collateral
in the same manner as it is described herein and Debtor shall, from time to
time, at the request of Secured Parties, execute one or more financing
statements and such other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording
the same in all public offices deemed necessary or desirable by Secured
Parties) and do such other acts and things, all as Secured Parties may request,
to establish and maintain a valid security interest in the Collateral. Secured
Parties are hereby appointed Debtor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact, coupled
with an interest, to do all acts and things which Secured Parties may deem
necessary to perfect and continue perfecting the security interest created
hereby.
d. Except for (i) the security interest granted to Coast, and
(ii) the security interest granted hereby, Debtor is and shall be the lawful
owner of the Collateral, with good right to pledge, sell, assign or transfer
the same free from any lien, security interest or encumbrance, and Debtor will
defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons at any time
claiming the same (other than Coast).
e. Debtor covenants and agrees that it shall not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (except for
sales, transfers or dispositions of loaner and demo equipment in the ordinary
course of business or sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business)
without obtaining the prior written consent of Secured Parties to such sale,
transfer, lease or other disposition.
f. Debtor covenants and agrees that it shall not move any
item of equipment from the State in which it is now located (except for loaner
and demo equipment moved in the ordinary course of business), locate at a new
place of business, remove from a place of business as set forth above or
establish a new chief executive office without giving the Secured Parties not
less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such move, relocation,
removal or establishment.
g. Debtor is a Florida corporation and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are within Debtor's power and
authority, have been duly authorized, and are not in contravention of any law
or the terms of Debtor's charter, bylaws, or other incorporational papers, or
any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which Debtor is a party or by which
it is bound.
h. Debtor will collect its accounts receivable only in the
ordinary course of business, will keep accurate and complete records of its
accounts receivable and, from time to time, will permit Secured Parties to
examine its business records and to make copies thereof.
2
<PAGE> 38
i. As of the date hereof, Debtor is indebted to Coast in the
amount of $1,914,692.00, which amount includes all principal and accrued and
unpaid interest. Debtor covenants that so long as this Agreement is in effect
the total indebtedness of Debtor to Coast will not exceed $2,500,000.
3. Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement upon the happening
of any of the following events, circumstances or conditions:
a. If a default occurs under any of the Loan Documents which
is not cured within any applicable grace period, and Secured Parties shall have
accelerated Debtor's obligations thereunder.
b. Debtor shall have materially violated any covenant,
agreement, representation or warranty contained herein or in any other Loan
Documents.
4. Upon the occurrence of the events, circumstances and conditions of
default as set forth in Paragraph 3 above:
a. At Secured Parties' option, and upon notice to Debtor, all
of the obligations and liabilities of Debtor to Secured Parties evidenced
herein or secured hereby shall immediately be due and payable.
b. Secured Parties shall have all the rights, remedies and
privileges contained herein and in any other Loan Document, and the rights,
remedies and privileges accorded to (a) a secured party by the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect as of the date of this Agreement and as may be
hereafter amended and (b) a creditor under any other applicable law.
c. Secured Parties shall have the right to notify the
obligors under any of the Collateral to make payments owed to Debtor directly
to Secured Parties, and to take control of all proceeds thereof and enforce any
and all obligations of said obligors. The cost of such collection and
enforcement, including attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be
borne solely by Debtor, whether the same are incurred by Secured Parties or
Debtor. In order to facilitate Secured Parties' rights hereunder, Debtor does
hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Secured Parties as Debtor's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, either in Debtor's own name, place and stead, or
otherwise, at any time after the occurrence of an event of default, to ask,
demand, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all amounts which are
now or may hereafter become due and payable to Debtor and which are part of the
Collateral.
d. Upon request of Secured Parties, Debtor shall assemble the
Collateral or evidence thereof and make it available to Secured Parties at a
place designated by Secured Parties.
e. Secured Parties may enter Debtor's premises where any of
the Collateral is located, and take possession of and remove all or any portion
of the Collateral or evidence thereof therefrom for purposes of disposition
pursuant to this Agreement. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the
Collateral may be first applied by Secured Parties toward the payment of
expenses in connection with the exercise of their rights and remedies
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, and any
balance of such proceeds shall be applied by Secured Parties toward the payment
of the indebtedness secured hereby, but in such order of application as Secured
Parties may elect in their sole discretion.
f. Reasonable notification of the time and place of any
public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of the time after
which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be
made, shall be sent to Debtor and to any other person entitled to notice under
the UCC; provided, however, if any of the Collateral threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market,
Secured Parties may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without
notification, advertisement, or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that
notice sent or given not less than five (5) calendar days prior to the taking
of the action to which the notice relates is reasonable notification and
notice.
g. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining
after any sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof.
3
<PAGE> 39
h. All of the rights, powers, remedies and privileges of
Secured Parties in the event of default by Debtor, as provided under this
Agreement and under applicable law, including, but not limited to, the Uniform
Commercial Code, shall be cumulative and in addition one to the other, and in
addition to those rights, powers, remedies and privileges afforded Secured
Parties under the provisions of any other Loan Documents.
5. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Majority Secured Party, in its sole discretion, to take all
actions or exercise all powers that are granted to the Secured Parties herein.
The Majority Secured Party shall have the right, for the ratable benefit of all
Secured Parties, for the enforcement of this Agreement and the collection of
the Collateral, and may take all actions in connection therewith as it deems
desirable in its sole discretion, without any authorization from the other
Secured Parties. The other Secured Parties agree that they shall have no claim
against the Majority Secured Party with respect to any action taken or not
taken hereunder, or any loss resulting from such action or inaction, except for
gross negligence and willful misconduct of the Majority Secured Party. Under no
circumstance shall the Majority Secured Party be deemed a fiduciary to the
other Secured Parties with respect to this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Majority Secured Party" shall mean the Secured Party or
Secured Parties, as the case may be, holding fifty-one percent (51%) or more of
the sum of the aggregate principal outstanding balance of the Notes.
6. No waiver of, or acquiescence in, any default shall operate as a
waiver of, or acquiescence in, any other default then existing or thereafter
occurring, whether or not such other default be of the same type as that waived
or acquiesced in. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Parties in
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or otherwise shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Secured
Parties of any right, power, remedy or privilege shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege.
7. All rights of Secured Parties in connection herewith shall be
subject to any and all subordination agreements, intercreditor agreements and
similar agreements executed by Secured Parties in connection herewith.
8. All rights in the Collateral granted to the Secured Parties
hereunder shall be proportionate to each Secured Party's ratable interest in
the total indebtedness of Debtor to the Secured Parties under the Notes.
9. For the purpose of enabling Secured Parties to exercise rights and
remedies under this Agreement at such time as Secured Parties shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and for no other purpose, Debtor
hereby grants to Secured Parties an irrevocable, nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to
use, assign or sublicense any of the Collateral, now owned or hereafter
acquired by Debtor and wherever the same may be located, including in such
license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may
be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof. Until such time as Secured Parties are entitled to exercise
such rights and remedies Debtor is entitled to use the Collateral without
payment of royalty or other compensation to Secured Parties. Upon payment in
full of the indebtedness secured hereby, the license granted to the Secured
Parties hereunder shall terminate.
10. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Connecticut, without regard to conflict of law principles.
11. Debtor shall neither assign its rights nor delegate the
performance of its duties hereunder without Secured Parties' prior written
consent. Secured Parties may assign their rights and delegate the performance
of their duties hereunder, and if Secured Parties do so, the assignee upon
notifying Debtor shall be entitled to the performance of all Debtor's duties
and to all Secured Parties' rights hereunder.
12. To the full extent Debtor may do so under applicable law, Debtor
agrees that Debtor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any
appraisal or valuation, and Debtor, for Debtor, and for any and all persons
ever claiming any interest in the Collateral, to the extent permitted by law,
4
<PAGE> 40
hereby WAIVES and RELEASES all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisal, and
all rights to receive notices of presentment, demand, protest, dishonor,
default, intention to mature or declare due the whole or any part of the
secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole or
any part of the secured indebtedness, and all rights to a marshaling of the
assets of Debtor, including the Collateral.
13. Miscellaneous.
a. All provisions herein shall inure to and become binding
upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, representatives,
receivers, trustees and assigns of the parties hereto.
b. Any notices required or allowed hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed satisfactorily given when deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, or forwarded by a nationally recognized overnight courier service
and, if to the Debtor, addressed to Debtor at the address set forth in Section
2(a) hereof, and if to a Secured Party, addressed to such Secured Party at the
address set forth on the signature pages hereto (or such other address as may
be specified in a written notice forwarded to the parties hereto as herein
specified).
c. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete statement of the
terms herein stated. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or changed in
any manner, nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of
such modification, amendment, change or waiver is sought.
d. If any term or provision of this Agreement, application
thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder hereof, or the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is invalid
or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of
this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
e. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and
all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of
this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than
one such counterpart.
f. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY
HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE
TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY
JURY ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE THEREIN, COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OR
REGULATIONS. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING
ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

applicable grace period (if any) provided for in such Loan Document; or (f) the
occurrence of any event or condition deemed to be a default under or as defined
in any other Loan Document; then an event of default hereunder shall be deemed
to have occurred and then or thereafter, at the option of the Holder hereof,
the entire principal and accrued interest of this Note shall become immediately
due and payable, without further notice to Maker. The failure of the Holder to
exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a release or
waiver of any obligation or liability of the Maker. As used herein, the term
1
<PAGE> 43
"Loan Document" means any other document or instrument now or hereafter
evidencing, governing, guaranteeing or securing this Note or any part thereof
or otherwise executed in connection with the loan evidenced or governed by this
Note, including, without limitation, the Loan Agreement and the Security
Agreement.
5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default as described
above, the Holder may exercise any rights and remedies available to it provided
herein or by law or in equity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all
benefits, rights and remedies hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any other thereof.
6. Security. This Note is secured by the security interests and
assignments created by that certain Security Agreement dated as of August ,
1999 (as such may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated,
the "Security Agreement"), executed by Maker in favor of the Secured Parties
thereunder, to which Security Agreement reference is made for a more complete
description of the collateral, the nature and extent of the security, and the
rights of the Holder in respect of such security.
7. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is expressly
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement,
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Senior Indebtedness
of Maker. As used in this Note, the term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean the
principal and unpaid accrued interest on all indebtedness of Maker to Coast
Business Credit, a division of Southern Pacific Bank, including any renewals,
extensions and refundings of such indebtedness.
8. Conversion.
8.1 Conversion by Holder. Any Holder of this Note has the
right, at the Holder's option, at any time prior to payment in full of the
principal balance of this Note, to convert this Note, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.3 hereof, in whole or in part, into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock of Maker (the "Common Stock"). The number
of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted (the
"Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal
amount together with all accrued interest to the date of conversion by the
Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The
initial Conversion Price shall be equal to One Dollar ($1.00).
8.2 Conversion by Maker. At the option of Maker, the entire
principal amount together with all accrued interest of this Note may be
converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price if (i) shares of
the Common Stock close at a price in excess of Four Dollars ($4.00) per share
for ninety (90) consecutive trading days, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock
into which this Note is converted are fully registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and freely transferable.
8.3 Conversion Procedure.
(a) Notice of Conversion Pursuant to Section 8.1.
Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common
Stock, it shall surrender this Note at the office of Maker and shall give
written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to Maker at its principal corporate
office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 8.1, and shall
state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued. Maker shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder of
this Note shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of
such date.
(b) Notice of Conversion Pursuant to Section 8.2. If
this Note is converted by Maker pursuant to Section 8.2, written notice shall
be delivered to the Holder of this Note at the address last shown on the
records of Maker for the Holder or given by the Holder to Maker for the purpose
2
<PAGE> 44
of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the
principal executive office of Maker is located, notifying the Holder of the
conversion to be effected, specifying the principal amount of the Note to be
converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted, the date on which
such conversion will occur and calling upon such holder to surrender to Maker,
in the manner and at the place designated, the Note.
8.4 Delivery of Stock Certificates. As promptly as
practicable after the conversion of this Note, Maker at its expense will issue
and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
8.5 Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares
of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Maker
issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note,
Maker shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is not
so converted, such payment to be in the form as provided below. Upon the
conversion of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed,
at the principal office of Maker. At its expense, Maker shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal
office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of such Common
Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such
legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the
opinion of counsel to Maker), together with any other securities and property
to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this
Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as
described above. In the event of any conversion of this Note, such conversion
shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing for the
issuance and sale of such Common Stock and on and after such date the Holder of
this Note entitled to receive the shares of such Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
shares. Upon conversion of this Note, Maker shall be forever released from its
obligations and liabilities under this Note, except that Maker shall be
obligated to pay the Holder, within ten (10) days after the date of such
conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and including the
date of such conversion.
9. Adjustments. The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Dividends, Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. In case
the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on all its Common Stock in shares of
its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii)
combine all the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock (other
than any reclassification upon a consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer
subject to Section 10) any shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time
of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted
so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such time shall be
entitled to receive the number and kind of shares which the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive had this Note been converted immediately
prior to such time. Such adjustment will become effective immediately prior to
the opening of business on the day following the date on which such dividend is
declared or such subdivision or combination becomes effective. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) Issuances Below Market. In case the Company shall fix a
record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common
Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock
(as determined pursuant to subsection (e) below) on such record date, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such rights or
warrants shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion
Price by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
to be offered would purchase at such current market price, and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered
for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment will become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and
in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in
effect if such record date had not been fixed.
3
<PAGE> 45
(c) Special Dividends. In case the Company shall fix a record
date for the making of a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock
(including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of its
indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding cash dividends paid out of
retained earnings) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred
to in subsection (b) above), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by
a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share
of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (e) below) on such record
date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors) of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, securities or
assets or of such subscription rights or warrants so applicable to one share of
Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price
per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment will become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and
in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such record date had not been fixed.
(d) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall distribute
evidences of its indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or warrants to any
Person (as defined in Section 10) in connection with or as a result of or
related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then in each such case the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, of which the numerator shall
be the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined by
pursuant to subsection (e) below) on the date of such distribution, less the
fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board and Directors) of
the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or
warrants so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which
the denominator shall be such current market price per share of Common Stock.
Such adjustment will become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following the date of such distribution. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any such distribution or issuance is made.
The intent of this subsection is that if any evidences of indebtedness,
securities, assets, rights or warrants are distributed in connection with or as
a result of or related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or
proceedings against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, that the Holder of
this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into the same percentage of
the outstanding capital stock of the Company for the same aggregate conversion
price immediately after such distribution as the Holder of this Note could
convert immediately prior to such distribution.
(e) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as
to which the provisions of Section 9 are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the conversion rights
represented by this Note in accordance with the essential intent and principles
hereof then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent
certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the
regular auditors of the Company), which shall give its opinion upon the
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in Section 9, necessary to preserve, without dilution,
the conversion rights represented by this Note. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Note and
shall make the adjustments described therein. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this subsection (e) to the contrary, this subsection (e) shall not
apply to any issuance of Common Stock by the Company for which the Company has
received consideration equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock on
the date of issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in
good faith.
(f) No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 9 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion privilege of the
Holder of this Note against dilution or other impairment.
(g) Market Price Determination. For the purpose of any
computation under subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, the current market price
per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices for the ten (10) consecutive trading dates immediately
preceding such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported
4
<PAGE> 46
sale price on that day or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices, regular way, on
that day, in either case, as reported in the consolidated transaction reporting
system with respect to securities quoted on Nasdaq or, if the shares of Common
Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq, as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal
national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or
admitted to trading or, if the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq
and not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low
asked prices on such other nationally recognized quotation system then in use,
or, if on any such day the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on any such
quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished
by a professional market maker selected by the Board of Directors making a
market in the shares of Common Stock. If the shares of Common Stock are not
publicly held or so listed, quoted or publicly traded, the current market price
per share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
(h) Minimum Adjustment Required. No adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in such price; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (h) are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(i) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. The Company may make such
adjustments in the Conversion Price so as to increase the number of shares
issuable on conversion, in addition to those adjustments required by this
Section 9, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for
Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be
taxable to the recipients.
(j) Certificate. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted,
as herein provided, the Company shall promptly cause a certificate setting
forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a computation thereof to
be mailed to the Holder of this Note at the address shown in the registration
books of the Company.
(k) Adjustments to Other Shares. In the event that at any
time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) above, the
Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled
to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of its Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of
this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Common Stock contained in subsections (a)-(j) above.
10. Effect of Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer. In case
of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any
other person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a
merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any sale,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Holder a supplemental agreement providing that the Holder of this Note shall
have the right hereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible, to
convert such Note into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this
Note was convertible immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or
which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as
the case may be ("Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent
Person, and (ii) failed to exercise such Holder's rights of election, if any,
as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or
amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of
Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or lease by other than a Constituent Person or an
5
<PAGE> 47
affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not
have been exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this
Section 10 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each
Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental agreement
shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective
date of such supplemental agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10. The above
provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, conveyances or transfers. For purposes of this Note,
the term "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, company,
limited liability company, association, partnership, joint venture or other
entity.
11. Prior Notice of Certain Events. In the event that:
(a) Maker shall declare any dividend, whether payable in cash
or in any capital stock upon its Common Stock, or authorize any other issuance
or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock; or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of Maker, or consolidation or merger of
Maker with another entity or a sale of all or substantially all its assets; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of Maker; then, in any of said cases, Maker shall
give prior written notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the registered Holder of this Note at the address of such registered Holder as
shown on the registration books of Maker, of the date on which (i) the books of
Maker shall close or a record shall be taken for such stock dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, (ii) such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up shall be consummated, or (iii) such other event shall be
consummated, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of
which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall receive said dividend,
distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange their
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written notice shall be
given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the event in question and
the record date or the date on which Maker's transfer books are closed in
respect thereto.
12. Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control (as
defined below) has occurred, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, declare
the entire principal amount and accrued interest of this Note immediately due
and payable, without further notice to Maker. A "Change of Control" occurs upon
any of the following events: (i) upon any merger or consolidation of Maker with
or into any other Person or any other sale, transfer or other disposition,
whether direct or indirect, of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, on a consolidated basis, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, if, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, any
"person" or "group" is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate
normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers, or trustees,
as applicable, of the transferee or surviving entity, (ii) when any "person" or
"group" is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more
than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote
in the election of directors of Maker, (iii) when, during any period of 12
consecutive months after the date hereof, individuals who at the beginning of
any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of Maker (together
with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for
election by the stockholders of Maker was approved by a vote of a majority of
the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning
of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved) cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Maker
then in office, (iv) a sale, transfer or other disposition, whether directly or
indirectly, by Maker of all or substantially all of its assets, on a
consolidated basis, or (v) the pro rata distribution by Maker to its
stockholders of substantially all of its assets. For purposes of this
definition of "Change of Control," (i) the terms "person" and "group" shall
have the meanings used for purposes of Rules l3d-3 and 13d-5 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date
hereof, whether or not applicable; and (ii) the term "beneficial owner" shall
have the meaning used in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in
6
<PAGE> 48
effect on the date hereof, whether or not applicable, except that a "person"
shall be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of all shares that any such
person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately
or only after the passage of time or upon the occurrence of certain events.
13. Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof.
With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities
into which this Note may be converted, the Holder will give written notice to
Maker prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a
written opinion of such Holder's counsel to the effect that such offer, sale or
other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under
any federal or state law then in effect). Promptly upon receiving such written
notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, Maker, as promptly
as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise
dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of
the notice delivered to Maker. If a determination has been made pursuant to
this Section 13 that the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not reasonably
satisfactory to Maker, the Maker shall so notify the Holder promptly after such
determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate
representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), unless in the opinion of
counsel for Maker such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance
with the Act. Maker may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
in connection with such restrictions.
14. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Note such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount and accrued
interest of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available
to the Holder, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes.
15. Registration Rights. Upon conversion of this Note, the Holder
shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders of
Common Stock possessing registration rights under the Loan Agreement, the
registration rights granted under the Loan Agreement with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note.
16. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of Maker hereunder are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any effect or counterclaim of Maker
against the Holder. Maker hereby waives the right to enforce any right of
offset, counterclaim or breach in any action brought to enforce the obligations
of Maker under this Note.
17. Waivers. Maker and any co-makers, sureties, endorsers and
guarantors of this Note hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for
payment, notices of non-performance or nonpayment, protest, notices of protest,
notice of dishonor, diligence in bringing suit hereon against any party hereto
and notice of acceleration, and further consent to any extension of time for
payment hereunder (whether one or more), any renewal hereof (whether one or
more), any substitution or release of any collateral, and any addition or
release of any party liable for payment of this Note. Any such extension,
renewal, substitution or release may be made by the Holder without notice to
any such party and without discharging such party's liability hereunder.
18. Collection Costs; Attorneys' Fees. Maker agrees to pay all
expenses and costs of collection, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses as awarded by a court, court costs, and similar costs incurred by the
Holder in connection with the enforcement of this Note, endeavoring to collect
any amounts payable hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
19. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Note or the
application thereof to any party or circumstances is held invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note and the application of any such
provision to other parties or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, the
provisions of this Note being severable in any such instance. No invalid
provision hereof shall affect or impair any other provision of this Note.
7
<PAGE> 49
20. Conflict. In the event of a conflict as between the terms and
conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the terms
and conditions of this Note shall control. In lieu of any such conflict of
terms both documents shall be of equal force and effect.
21. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to
conflict of law principles.
22. Amendments. Any amendment or modification to this Note shall not
be effective unless signed in writing by the Holder.
23. Headings; Construction. The headings of the sections of this Note
are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof, words used herein of any gender shall be construed to include any other
gender where appropriate, and words used herein which are either singular or
plural shall be construed to include the other where appropriate.
24. Successors and Assigns. All of the covenants, stipulations,
promises, and agreements in this Note contained by or on behalf of Maker shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not; provided,
however, that Maker may not, without the prior consent of the Holder, assign
any rights, duties, or obligations under this Note.
8
<PAGE> 50
25. Maximum Interest Rate. Regardless of any provision contained
herein, or in any other documents or instruments executed in connection
herewith, the Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or
apply, as interest hereon, any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate and
in the event the Holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies, as
interest, any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall
be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and,
if the principal hereof is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded
to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Maker and the Holder
hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term hereof; provided that if the interest received for the actual period of
existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Holder hereof shall
either apply or refund to Maker the amount of such excess as herein provided,
and in such event the Holder hereof shall not be subject to any penalties
provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, or receiving interest in
excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of this Note, the term "Highest
Lawful Rate" shall mean, at any given time, the maximum nonusurious interest
rate, if any, that may be contracted for or received on the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note under applicable federal and state laws.
26. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS NOTE REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
27. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS NOTE BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER
EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY
STATE THEREIN, COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OR REGULATIONS. MAKER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND
TRIAL BY JURY.

pursuant to this Section 2.0 shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Holder
hereof as the record owner of such Common Stock as of the close of business of
the Company on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as
aforesaid. The Company further covenants that all shares of Common Stock which
may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant be fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof.
The certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be
delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10)
days, after the date on which the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised.
Payment of the applicable Exercise Price may be made (a) by cash, or
(b) by certified check, or bank cashier's check, payable to the Company.

or warrants (at Holder's option), of even date herewith and with the terms
identical to the terms hereof, except that such new warrant or warrants shall
be exercisable, in the aggregate, for a percentage of all issued and
outstanding Common Stock, subject to the antidilution provisions of Section 6.0
hereof, which represents the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which this Warrant has not yet been exercised.
SECTION 3.0. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a
share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day of such
exercise (or in the event that such day is not a trading day with respect to
the Common Stock, on the last trading day with respect to the Common Stock
preceding such day) shall be paid to the Holder hereof in cash by the Company.
SECTION 4.0. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer taxes or any other
incidental expenses in respect of the issuance of such certificates to and in
the name of the registered Holder of this Warrant, all of which transfer taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be
issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant. Certificates will be issued
in a name other than that of the Holder upon the request of the Holder and
payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes.
SECTION 5.0. Certain Obligations of the Company. The Company covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuing upon exercise of the
purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable and deliverable hereunder.
The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation
or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance of
capital stock or sale of treasury stock (otherwise than upon exercise of this
Warrant) or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act or deed, avoid or
seek to avoid the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
stipulations or conditions in this Warrant to be observed or performed by the
Company. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out
of all of the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all other action
which may be necessary in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against dilution consistent with the provisions of this Warrant.

<PAGE> 54
The Company covenants and agrees to maintain, on a current basis, the
reports, notices and statements required to be filed with the Securities
Exchange Commission.
The Company will maintain an office where presentations and demands to
or upon the Company in respect of this Warrant may be made. The Company will
give notice in writing to the registered Holder of this Warrant, at the address
of the registered Holder of this Warrant appearing on the books of the Company,

SECTION 6.0. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
and the Exercise Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
after the date hereof upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
6.1. Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of shares of
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, then in any such case the Exercise
Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution shall be reduced to a price obtained by multiplying such Exercise
Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date and (y)
the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such
dividend or distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following such record date. The Company will
not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.
(b) Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In case after the date
hereof outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater
number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes
effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case after the
date hereof outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes
effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as
the case may be, shall entitle the Holder hereof to receive the number and kind
of shares which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such subdivision or
combination. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(c) Issuances Below Market. In case the Company after the
date hereof shall fix a record date of the issuance of rights or warrants to
all holders of its shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing
Price per share on the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Exercise Price in effect at
the opening of business on the day following such record date shall be adjusted
to a price obtained by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which
(x) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common
Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares to be
offered would purchase at such Closing Price and (y) the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be
offered for subscription or purchase, such adjustment to become effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record
date; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Company issues
or distributes to each Holder the rights or warrants that each Holder would
have been entitled to receive had the Warrants held by such Holder been
exercised prior to such record date. The Company shall not issue any rights or
warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Company.
4
<PAGE> 55
(d) Special Dividends. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders
of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding any
dividends paid out of retained earnings), or subscription rights or warrants
(excluding those referred to in subsection (c) above), in each such case the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Exercise
Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing Price per
share of Common Stock on such record date, less the then-current fair market
value as of such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its
good faith judgment) of the portion of assets, evidences of indebtedness,
securities or subscription rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock, and (y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following such record date; provided, however, that no
adjustment shall be made (1) if the Company issues or distributes to each
Holder the subscription rights referred to above that each Holder would have
been entitled to receive had the Warrants held by such Holder been exercised
prior to such record date, or (2) if the Company grants to each Holder the
right to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder at any
time after the distribution of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or
equity securities referred to above, the evidences of indebtedness or assets or
equity securities that such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such
Warrants been exercised prior to such record date. The Company shall provide
any Holder, upon receipt of a written request therefor, with any indenture or
other instrument defining the rights of the holders of any indebtedness,
assets, subscription rights or equity securities referred to in this subsection
(d).
(e) Other Distributions. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall distribute evidences of its indebtedness, assets, equity
securities, rights or warrants to any Person in connection with or as a result
of or related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings
against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then in each such case the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date
of such distribution shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such
Exercise Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing
Price per share of Common Stock on such date, less the then-current fair market
value as of such date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good
faith judgment) of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, assets,
equity securities, rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock, and (y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price, such
adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the date of such distribution. The intent of this subsection
is that if any evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or
warrants are distributed in connection with or as a result of or related to any
pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings against the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
exercise this Warrant for the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock
of the Company for the same aggregate exercise price immediately after such
distribution as the Holder of this Warrant could acquire immediately prior to
such distribution.
(f) Tender or Exchange Offer. In case a tender or exchange
offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall
involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by
the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment) at the last time (the "Offer
Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may
be amended) that, together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment), as
of the Offer Time, of consideration payable in respect of any tender or
exchange offer by the Company or any such subsidiary for all or any portion of
the Common Stock consummated preceding the Offer Time and in respect of which
no Exercise Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (f) has been made,
exceeds 5% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock at the Offer
Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including
any tendered shares) at the Offer Time, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Time by a fraction of which (x)
the numerator shall be (i) the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock
at the Offer Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Offer Time minus (ii) the
fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration
payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in
the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and
5
<PAGE> 56
not withdrawn as of the Offer Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any
such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the
denominator shall be the product of (i) such Closing Price at the Offer Time
multiplied by (ii) such number of outstanding shares at the Offer Time minus
the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Time. For
purposes of this subsection (f), the number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company
but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in
lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(g) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as
to which the provisions of Section 6.1 are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and
principles hereof then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of
independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which
may be the regular auditors of the Company), which shall give its opinion upon
the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in Section 6.1, necessary to preserve, without dilution,
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and
shall make the adjustments described therein. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this subsection (g) to the contrary, this subsection (g) shall not
apply to any issuance of Common Stock by the Company for which the Company has
received consideration equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock on
the date of issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in
good faith.
(h) No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 6.1 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the purchase privilege of the
Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
(i) Closing Price Determination. For the purpose of any
computation under subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 6.1, the Closing
Price of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
Closing Prices for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding
such date; provided, however, that (i) if the "ex" date for any event (other
than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6 occurs on or after
the tenth (10th) trading day prior to the day in question and prior to the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation, the Closing
Price for each trading day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction which the
Exercise Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event,
(ii) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to this Section 6 occurs on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation and on or prior to the day in question,
the Closing Price for each trading day on and after the "ex" date for such
other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
reciprocal of the fraction by which the Exercise Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event, and (iii) if the "ex" date for the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation is on or prior to the day
in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to
clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each trading day on or after
such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the fair market value on the
day in question (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent
with any determination of such value for the purposes of subsection (d) of this
Section 6.1) of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, equity securities or
subscription rights being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock
as of the close of business on the day before such "ex" date. For the purposes
of any computation under subsection (f) of this Section 6.1, the Closing Price
on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for
the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Offer Time;
provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender
or exchange offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to
the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6 occurs on or after the tenth
(10th) trading day prior to the Offer Time for the tender or exchange offer
requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each trading day prior to the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the same fraction by which the Exercise Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this subsection (g),
the term "ex" date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
6
<PAGE> 57
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the
relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was
obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when
used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such
exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender
or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
way on such exchange or in such market after the Offer Time of such tender or
exchange offer.
(j) Minimum Adjustment Requirement. No adjustment shall be
required unless such adjustment would result in an increase or decrease of at
least $0.01 in the Exercise Price then subject to adjustment; provided,
however, that any adjustments that are not made by reason of this subsection
(j) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. In case the Company shall at any time issue shares of Common Stock
by way of dividend on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, said amount of $0.01 specified in the
preceding sentence (as theretofore increased or decreased, if said amount shall
have been adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (h))
shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of such a combination
or decreased in the case of such a subdivision or stock dividend so as
appropriately to reflect the same.
(k) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6.1
shall be made to the nearest $0.01.
(l) Certificate. Whenever an adjustment in the Exercise Price
is made as required or permitted by the provisions of this Section 6.1, the
Company shall promptly cause a certificate of its chief financial officer
setting forth (A) the adjusted Exercise Price as provided in this Section 6.1
and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the
computation thereof and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (or portions
thereof) purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment in the
Exercise Price in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof and the record date
therefor to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address shown on the
registration books of the Company. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest
error, shall be conclusive and final evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
(m) Section 305. Anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but not required, to make such
reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section
6.1, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable, including,
without limitation, in order that any dividend in or distribution of shares of
Common Stock or shares of capital stock of any class other than Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock,
issuance of rights or warrants, or any other transaction having a similar
effect, shall not be treated as a distribution of property by the Company to
its stockholders under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or any successor provision and shall not be taxable to them.
(n) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for purposes of taking any action
that requires an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section 6, and
shall, thereafter and before the effective date of such action, legally abandon
its plan to take such action, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required
by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made
in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
6.2. Adjustment to Number of Shares of Stock. Upon each adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant outstanding prior to the
effectiveness of such adjustment shall be adjusted to the number, calculated to
the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by (x) multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon
the exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such
adjustment and (y) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in
effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

<PAGE> 58
6.3. Organic Change.
(a) Company Survives. Upon the consummation of an Organic
Change (other than a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
entity), lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such
transaction whereby the terms of this Warrant shall be modified, without
payment of any additional consideration therefor, so as to provide that upon
exercise this Warrant following the consummation of such Organic Change, the
Holders of such Warrant shall have the right to purchase only the kind and
amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic
Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such Organic Change,
assuming such holder of Common Stock (i) is not a Person with which the Company
consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company
or to which a sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an
affiliate of a Constituent Person, and (ii) failed to exercise his or her
rights of election, if any, as to the kind and amount of securities, cash and
other property receivable upon such Organic Change (provided that if the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic
Change is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to
such Organic Change by others than a Constituent Person or an affiliate thereof
and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised
("Non-Electing Shares"), then for the purpose of this subsection (a) the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic
Change by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares); provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made as a result of such Organic Change to
the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock notwithstanding any
provision of Section 6 hereof unless any event requiring any such adjustment
shall have occurred or shall occur prior to, upon or after such Organic Change.
Lawful provision also shall be made as part of the terms of the Organic Change
so that all other terms of this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect
following such an Organic Change. The provisions of this Section 6.3(a) shall
similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
(b) Company Does Not Survive. The Company shall not enter
into an Organic Change that is a transaction in which the Company is not the
surviving entity unless lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of
such transaction whereby the surviving entity shall issue new securities to
each Holder, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, with
terms that provide that upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holders of such
Warrant shall have the right to purchase only the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant might
have been exercised immediately prior to such Organic Change, assuming such
holder of Common Stock (i) is not a Constituent Person or an affiliate of a
Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any,
as to the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable
upon such Organic Change (provided that if the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change is not the same for
each Non-Electing Share, then for the purpose of this subsection (b) the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic
Change by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares); provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made as a result of such Organic Change to
the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock notwithstanding any
provision of Section 6 hereof unless any event requiring any such adjustment
shall have occurred or shall occur prior to, upon or after such Organic Change.
The certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document of

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
BORROWER: CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
ADDRESS: 2000 WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD
SUITE 200
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA 33309
SUBORDINATING
CREDITOR:
ADDRESS:
DATE:
THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT is executed by the above-named
Subordinated Party. ("Subordinated Party") in favor of Coast Business
Credit(R), a division of Southern Pacific Bank ("Coast"), whose address is
12121 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, California, with respect to the above-named
borrower (the "Borrower"). In order to induce Coast to extend or continue to
extend financing to the Borrowers (but without obligation on Coast's part to do
so), the Subordinated Party hereby agrees as follows:
1. SUBORDINATION OF DEBT AND CAPITAL Subordinating Creditor hereby
subordinates payment by the Borrower of any and all indebtedness, liabilities,
guarantees and other obligations of the Borrower to Subordinating Creditor and
return of Capital or Distributions now existing or hereafter arising
(collectively, the "Subordinated Amounts"), to the payment to Coast, in full in
cash, of all indebtedness, liabilities, guarantees and other obligations of the
Borrower to Coast, now existing or hereafter arising (including without
limitation any interest, charges and other sums accruing after the filing of a
petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code) (the "Coast Debt").
Subordinating Creditor represents and warrants that it has not
transferred or assigned the Subordinated Amounts or given any other
subordination agreement in respect thereof, and that it will not do so without
prior written notice to Coast and without making such transfer or assignment or
subordination expressly subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any default
of the Subordinated Amounts, Subordinating Creditor agrees not to ask for,
demand, sue for, take or receive all or any part of the Subordinated Amounts
nor any security therefor unless and until all of the Coast Debt has been paid
and performed in full, in cash; provided that, so long as no Event of Default
and no event which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an
Event of Default under any present or future document, instrument or agreement
evidencing, securing or relating to the Coast Debt, both before and after
giving effect to the following payments, Subordinated Creditor may accept
payment of the following amounts on the Subordinated Amounts: Subordinating
Creditor may accept repayment of all or part of the Subordinated Amounts
provided (a) such payments constitute ordinary course of business transactions,
(b) such payments would not constitute an event of default and no event which,
with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an event of default
under any present or future document, instrument or agreement between Borrower,
Subordinating Creditor or any affiliate, on the one hand and a party other than
Coast on the other hand, (c) all such payments are reported to Coast on a
monthly basis, or more frequently if requested by Coast, and (d) Coast has not
given notice to Subordinating Creditor that Coast has revoked the authorization
of Subordinating Creditor to accept such repayments of the Subordinated
Amounts, which revocation may be made by Coast if Coast in good faith believes
that revocation is or may be necessary to avoid or reduce the risk of a
material adverse change or impairment of Coast's rights or financial interests.
Coast may further limit or condition repayments of the Subordinated Amounts
upon such terms as Coast, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including,
but not limited to, imposing dollar limits and requiring advance notice to
Coast of proposed dividends and repayments in amounts which Coast, in its sole
discretion, deems material.
Subordinating Creditor further agrees that upon any distribution of the assets
or readjustment of the indebtedness of the Borrower whether by reason of
liquidation, composition, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for
the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the
readjustment of all or any of the Subordinated Amounts, or the application of
the assets of the Borrower to the payment or liquidation thereof, Coast shall
be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all of the Coast Debt prior
to the payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Amounts, and in order to
2
<PAGE> 66
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT COAST BUSINESS CREDIT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
enable Coast to enforce its rights hereunder in any such action or proceeding,
Coast is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered in its discretion (but
without any obligation on its part) to make and present for and on behalf of
Subordinating Creditor such proofs of claim and proofs of interest against the
Borrower on account of the Subordinated Amounts as Coast may deem expedient or
proper and to vote such proofs of claim and proofs of interest in any such
proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments
or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued
and to apply same on account of the Coast Debt. Subordinating Creditor further
agrees to execute and deliver to Coast such assignments or other instruments as
may be required by Coast in order to enable Coast to enforce or vote any and
all such claims and to collect any and all dividends or other payments or
disbursements which may be made at any time on account of all and any of the
Subordinated Amounts. Subordinating Creditor shall endorse all notes and other
written evidence of the Subordinated Amounts with a statement that they are
subordinated to the Coast Debt pursuant to the terms of this agreement, in such
form as Coast shall require, and Subordinating Creditor will exhibit the
originals of such notes and other written evidence of the Subordinated Amounts
to Coast so that Coast can confirm that such endorsement has been made, but
this Subordination Agreement shall be fully effective, even if no such
endorsement is made.
2. MODIFICATIONS TO COAST DEBT; WAIVERS. Until Coast have received
payment in full of all Coast Debt, the Subordinating Creditor agrees that, in
addition to any other rights that Coast may have at law or in equity, Coast may
at any time, and from time to time, without the Subordinating Creditor' consent
and without notice to the Subordinating Creditor, renew, extend or increase any
of the Coast Debt or that of any other person at any time directly or
indirectly liable for the payment of any Coast Debt, accept partial payments of
the Coast Debt, settle, release (by operation of law or otherwise), compound,
compromise, collect or liquidate any of the Coast Debt, make loans or advances
to the Borrower secured in whole or in part by the any present or future assets
securing any or all of the Coast Debt (the "Collateral") or refrain from making
any loans or advances to the Borrower, change, waive, alter or vary the
interest charge on, or any other terms or provisions of the Coast Debt or any
present or future instrument, document or agreement between Coast and the
Borrower, release, exchange, fail to perfect, delay the perfection of, fail to
resort to, or realize upon any Collateral, and take any other action or omit to
take any other action with respect to the Coast Debt or the Collateral as Coast
deems necessary or advisable in Coast's sole discretion. Subordinating Creditor
waives any right to require Coast to marshal any assets in favor of the
Subordinating Creditor or against or in payment of any or all of the Coast
Debt. Subordinating Creditor further waives any defense arising by reason of
any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Coast which in any
manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes the
Subordinating Creditor' subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the
Borrower for reimbursement, and/or any other rights of the Subordinating
Creditor. In the event of any financing of the Borrower by Coast during any
bankruptcy, arrangement, or reorganization of the Borrower, the Subordinating
Creditor agrees that the term "Coast Debt" shall include without limitation all
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations incurred in any such proceeding, and
the Subordinated Amounts shall continue to remain subordinate to the Coast
Debt, and the Subordinating Creditor agrees to take such actions and execute
such documents in such proceedings as may be required in order to continue such
subordination.
3. DEFAULT. The Subordinating Creditor shall promptly give Coast
written notice of any default or event of default under any document,
instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating to any of the
Subordinated Amounts, and, until the Coast Debt has been paid and performed in
full, the Subordinating Creditor shall not exercise any rights or remedies with
respect to, the Subordinated Amounts, judicially or non-judicially, or attempt
to do any of the foregoing.
4. NO COMMITMENT. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement
shall in no way be construed as a commitment or agreement by Coast to continue
financing arrangements with the Borrower and that Coast may terminate such
arrangements at any time, in accordance with Coast's agreements with the
Borrower.
5. NO CONTEST. Subordinating Creditor agrees not to contest the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of Coast' security interest in
the Collateral or the Coast Debt.
6. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER. The Subordinating Creditor is
presently informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all other
circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the
risk of non-payment of the Coast Debt and the Subordinated Amounts. The
Subordinating Creditor covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed
as to the Borrower's financial condition and all other circumstances which bear
upon the risk of non-payment of the Coast Debt and the Subordinated Amounts.
3
<PAGE> 67
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT COAST BUSINESS CREDIT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Subordinating Creditor waives any right to require Coast to disclose to it
any information which Coast may now or hereafter acquire concerning the
Borrower.
7. REVIVOR. If, after payment of the Coast Debt, the Borrower
thereafter becomes liable to Coast on account of the Coast Debt, as a result of
any payment made on the Coast Debt for any reason being returned by Coast or
being reversed, set aside, or recovered by the Borrower or any trustee or
assignee for the Borrower, this Agreement shall thereupon in all respects
become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated Coast Debt,
without the necessity of any further act or agreement between Coast and the
Subordinating Creditor.
8. GENERAL. The Subordinating Creditor agrees, upon Coast's request,
to execute all such documents and instruments and take all such actions as
Coast shall deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement. The word "indebtedness" is used in this agreement in its most
comprehensive sense and includes without limitation any and all present and
future loans, advances, credit, debts, obligations, liabilities,
representations, warranties, and guarantees, of any kind and nature, absolute
or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and individual or joint.
Subordinating Creditor represents and warrants that it has not heretofore
transferred or assigned the Subordinated Amounts, and that it will not do so
without prior written notice to Coast and without making such transfer or
assignment expressly subject to this Agreement. This Agreement is solely for
the benefit of Coast and Coast's successors and assigns, and neither the
Borrower nor any other person shall have any right, benefit, priority or
interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement. All of Coast's
rights and remedies hereunder and under applicable law are cumulative and not
exclusive. This Agreement sets forth in full the terms of agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified or
amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except in a writing signed by
Coast and the Subordinating Creditor. The Subordinating Creditor agrees to
reimburse Coast, upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by Coast in enforcing this Agreement against
Subordinating Creditor, whether or not suit be brought. In the event of any
litigation between the parties based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses
(including without limitation attorneys fees) from the non-prevailing party.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws
of the State of California. As a material part of the consideration to the
parties for entering into this Agreement, each party (i) agrees that all
actions and proceedings based upon, arising out of or relating in any way
directly or indirectly to, this Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in
courts located within Los Angeles County, California, (ii) consents to the
jurisdiction of any such court and consents to the service of process in any
such action or proceeding by personal delivery, first-class mail, or any other
method permitted by law, and (iii) waives any and all rights to transfer or
change the venue of any such action or proceeding to any court located outside
Los Angeles County, California. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Subordinating Creditor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of Coast and Coast's successors and assigns.
9. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBORDINATING CREDITOR AND COAST EACH
HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON,
ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (I) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (II) ANY
OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN SUBORDINATING CREDITOR
AND COAST; OR (III) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SUBORDINATING CREDITOR OR
COAST OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY
OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH SUBORDINATING CREDITOR OR COAST; IN EACH OF THE
FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.
10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts
and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Coast and Borrower
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California, without
regard to its conflicts of law principles. As a material part of the
consideration to Coast to enter into this Agreement, Borrower (a) agrees that
all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement
shall, at Coast's option, be litigated in courts located within California, and
that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Los Angeles County; (b) consents to
the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process

plural shall be construed to include the other where appropriate.
13. Successors and Assigns. All of the covenants, stipulations,
promises, and agreements in this Note contained by or on behalf of Maker shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not; provided,
however, that Maker may not, without the prior consent of the Holder, assign
any rights, duties, or obligations under this Note.
14. Maximum Interest Rate. Regardless of any provision contained
herein, or in any other documents or instruments executed in connection
herewith, the Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or
apply, as interest hereon, any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate and
in the event the Holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies, as
interest, any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall
be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and,
if the principal hereof is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded
to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Maker and the Holder
hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term hereof; provided that if the interest received for the actual period of
existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Holder hereof shall
either apply or refund to Maker the amount of such excess as herein provided,
and in such event the Holder hereof shall not be subject to any penalties
provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, or receiving interest in
excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of this Note, the term ?Highest
Lawful Rate? shall mean, at any given time, the maximum nonusurious interest
rate, if any, that may be contracted for or received on the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note under applicable federal and state laws.
15. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS NOTE REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

As security for Pledgor's obligations under the Note ("Note
Obligations"), as and when required by the Note, Pledgor is required to pledge
and to grant to Pledgee a security interest in and lien upon the "Collateral"
(as hereinafter defined).
NOW THEREFORE, in order to induce Pledgee to accept the Note, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Pledge.
(a) To secure the payment and performance of all Note
Obligations, Pledgee hereby grants, transfers and pledges to Pledgor, and
grants to Pledgee a security interest in, all of Pledgor's now existing and

"Collateral"):
(i) One Promissory Note of CyberGuard Corporation in
the principal amount of $150,000 payable to Pledgor, together with all new,
substituted and additional notes made at any time with respect to this Note
(the "Pledged Note"); or such substituted Collateral as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Pledgee;
(ii) One Warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of
CyberGuard Corporation, together with all new, substituted and additional
warrants made at any time with respect to such Warrant (the "Pledged
Warrants"); or such substituted Collateral as may be reasonably acceptable to
the Pledgee;
(iii) Any and all now existing and hereafter arising
rights of the holder of the Collateral or any substituted Collateral with
respect to all rights to payment of any kind, including cash and non-cash
dividends, instruments and other property, from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed on account of, or in exchange for, the
Pledged Note or Pledged Warrant or any substituted Collateral; and
(iv) All proceeds of the foregoing Collateral,
including, without limitation, whatever is receivable or received when
Collateral or proceeds is sold, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of,
whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and including, without
limitation, all rights to payment, interest, or other property receivable or
received on account of the Collateral or proceeds thereof.
(b) Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of delegation, substitution and

behalf and in Pledgor's name, financing statements and all such other security
and agreements, contracts, documents and instruments; (ii) to give notice of
Pledgee's rights in the Collateral and to enforce the same; (iii) to receive,
endorse, and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor, representing any
payment or distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to
give full discharge therefor, which irrevocable power shall become effective
without further action upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default" (as
hereinafter defined); and (iv) to do such other acts as Pledgee, in its sole
discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to perfect or protect the security
interest hereby created and to carry out the purposes and intents of this
Pledge Agreement, Pledgor hereby ratifying and confirming all that Pledgee may

2. Conversion of Note/Exercise of Warrant. In the event that the
Pledgor desires to convert the Pledged Note or exercise the Pledged Warrant in
accordance with the terms thereof, then the Pledgee shall permit such
conversion or exercise and shall replace the Collateral with a substitute
Pledged Note or Pledged Warrant reduced in amount to reflect such exercise;
provided, however, that the following conditions shall apply:
(a) The Pledged Note may be not be converted in whole until

partial conversion, the principal amount of the Pledged Note will be less than
the principal amount of the Note secured by the Pledged Note at the time of
conversion; and
(b) The Pledged Warrant may not be exercised in whole until
the Note is paid in full and may not be exercised in part if, after such
partial exercise, the number of shares remaining issuable upon exercise of the
Pledged Warrant is less than the dollar amount of the principal outstanding of
the Note at the time of exercise.
3. Indebtedness Secured. The security interest created hereby is given
for the purpose of securing payment by Pledgor to Pledgee of all Note
Obligations required pursuant to the Note.
4. Representations and Warranties of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby

have been satisfied in full or all payments required under the Note have been
made, unless Pledgee otherwise consents in writing:
(a) Pledgor shall: (i) at the request of Pledgee, at any time
