reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights
generally), (iii) do not violate Debtor’s organizational documentation, or any
law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Debtor or its
property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material
indebtedness or obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is
binding upon Debtor or its property.

 

2.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Debtor set forth in the heading to
this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are all prior names
of Debtor and all of Debtor’s present and prior trade names. Debtor shall give

under any other name. Debtor has complied, and will in the future comply, with
all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.

 

2.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is Debtor’s chief executive office. In addition,

chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Debtor’s Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.

 

2.4 Title to Collateral; Permitted Liens. Debtor is now, and will at all times
in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of
Equipment which are leased by Debtor. The Collateral now is and will remain free

adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will continue
to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of
the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Debtor will at all
times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others. Whenever
any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest
(whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or
otherwise), Debtor shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to
cause such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to
Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to
ensure that Silicon’s rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Debtor will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

 

2.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Debtor will maintain the Collateral in good
working condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and Debtor will not use the
Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Debtor will immediately advise Silicon in

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
and now and in the future will completely and fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition of Debtor, at the times and for the periods
therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to
Silicon and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change. Debtor
is now and will continue to be solvent.

 

2.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Debtor has timely filed,
and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by applicable law,
and Debtor has timely paid, and will timely pay, all applicable taxes,
assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by Debtor.
Debtor may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Debtor
(i) in good faith contests Debtor’s obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate
proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies
Silicon in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Debtor is
unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Debtor’s prior tax
years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Debtor.
Debtor has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all
present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in
accordance with their terms, and Debtor has not and will not withdraw from
participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of Debtor, including any liability to the Pension Benefit

property, the conduct and licensing of Debtor’s business, and all environmental
matters.

litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Debtor’s
knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Debtor in any court or before
any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Debtor) which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change.

litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted by or against

5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

 

5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement, and Debtor shall give
Silicon immediate written notice thereof: (a) the occurrence and continuance of
any “Event of Default” (as specifically defined in the Loan Agreement) or any
“Event of Default” (as specifically defined in the Guaranty); (b) any material
warranty, representation, statement, report, or certificate made or delivered to
Silicon by Debtor, or any of its respective officers, partners, employees, or

any indebtedness or obligation of Debtor to Silicon under this Agreement or any
other instrument, document, or agreement relating hereto; or (e) Debtor shall

foregoing are hereinafter referred to as “Events of Default”.

 

5.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, and at any time thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and without notice
or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Debtor), may
do any one or more of the following: (a) Accelerate and declare all or any part
of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable,
notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument
evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (b) Take possession of any or all of
the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Debtor hereby
authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of Debtor’s
premises without interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or
remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or cause a custodian to
remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long
as Silicon deems it reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of
its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that
should Silicon seek to take possession of any of the Collateral by Court
process, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or
security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an
incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the
commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any
requirement that Silicon retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such
Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (c) Require Debtor to assemble
any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Silicon at places
designated by Silicon which are reasonably convenient to Silicon and Debtor, and
to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon may deem advisable; (d)

disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal,

cranes, equipment and all other property without charge; (e) Sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its condition at the time Silicon

exchange or other property, or on credit, and

to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Debtor’s premises without charge, for such time or
times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon’s premises, or elsewhere and
the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Debtor of any liability Debtor may have if any Collateral is defective
as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale; (f) Demand
payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles comprising
Collateral and, in connection therewith, Debtor irrevocably authorizes Silicon
to endorse or sign Debtor’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and
other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to Debtor and
remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of the Collateral or
proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon’s sole discretion, to grant extensions of time
to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts, General Intangibles and the like
for less than face value; and (h) Demand and receive possession of any of
Debtor’s federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized
in the preparation thereof or referring thereto. All reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to
the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due
on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate
applicable to any of the Obligations.

 

5.3 Standards for Determining Commercial Reasonableness. Debtor and Silicon
agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, “sale”) of any Collateral
which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Debtor at least
seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the
sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the
sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is
conducted at a place designated by Silicon, with or without the Collateral being
present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v)
Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier’s check or wire transfer is
required; (vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may
(but is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly
from Debtor any and all information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free
to employ other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its
discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.

 

5.4 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, without limiting Silicon’s other rights and remedies, Debtor
grants to Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest,
authorizing and permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees,
attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or
without notice to Debtor, and at Debtor’s expense, to do any or all of the
following, in Debtor’s name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees to exercise the
following powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of
Debtor any documents that Silicon may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in
order to perfect and maintain Silicon’s security interest in the Collateral, or
in order to exercise a right of Debtor or Silicon, or in order to fully
consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other
present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Debtor any document
exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise
dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which
is part of Silicon’s Collateral or in which Silicon has an interest; (c) Execute
on behalf of Debtor, any invoices relating to any Account, any draft against any
Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in
bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other
lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien;
(d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or
proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Debtor upon any instruments, or
documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon’s
possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by
Silicon; (f) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g)
Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and
General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other
documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of
Debtor’s taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i)
Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any
of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j) Instruct any third party
having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to,
Debtor to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect
thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any
sum required of Debtor pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or
future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become
part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at
a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
In no event shall Silicon’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any
of Silicon’s other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that
Silicon is in control of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silicon Valley Bank   Security Agreement

 

business, management or properties of Debtor.

 

5.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees
incurred by Silicon in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second
to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of
the Obligations, in such order as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Debtor or other persons legally
entitled thereto; Debtor shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If
Silicon, in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred
payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of
Collateral, Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole
discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of
purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual
receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor.

 

5.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between Silicon and Debtor, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by
Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an
election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any
other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to exercise any rights
or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been
fully paid and performed.

the right to require, as a condition to its consent under subparagraph (iv)
above, that the holder of the additional security interest or lien sign an
intercreditor agreement on Silicon’s then standard form, acknowledge that the
security interest is subordinate to the security interest in favor of Silicon,
and agree not to take any action to enforce its subordinate security interest so
long as any Obligations remain outstanding, and that Debtor agree that any
uncured default in any obligation secured by the subordinate security interest
shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

“Person” means any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture,
trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, government, or any
agency or political division thereof, or any other entity.

 

Other Terms. All accounting terms used in this Agreement, unless otherwise
indicated, shall have the meanings given to such terms in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. All other terms
contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings
provided by the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

 

7. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

7.1 Application of Payments. All payments with respect to the Obligations may be
applied, and in Silicon’s sole discretion reversed and re-applied, to the
Obligations, in such order and manner as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion.

 

7.2 Notices. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or
by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested,
addressed to Silicon or Debtor at the addresses shown in the heading to this
Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the
other party. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the
case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one business day
following delivery to the private delivery service, or two business days
following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.

 

7.3 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect
the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

 

7.4 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and
instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and
complete agreement between Debtor and Silicon and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of
which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties
in connection herewith.

 

7.5 Waivers. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to require Debtor to
strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other
present or future agreement between Debtor and Silicon shall not waive or
diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other
default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Debtor and delivered to Silicon shall be deemed to have been waived
by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only by a
specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and delivered
to Debtor. Debtor waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account,
General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Silicon on which
Debtor is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by
Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

amended, except in a writing executed by Debtor and a duly authorized officer of
Silicon.

and every obligation under this Agreement.

filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other
reasonable costs incurred by Silicon, pursuant to, or in connection with, or
relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but
not limited to, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs Silicon incurs in order
to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and the documents
relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this
Agreement or Debtor; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute
actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in,
or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the
automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy
claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine, audit, copy, and inspect any
of the Collateral or any of Debtor’s books and records; protect, obtain
possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce Silicon’s security
interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Silicon in any litigation
relating to Debtor. If either Silicon or Debtor files any lawsuit against the
other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees,
including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or
judgment. All attorneys’ fees and costs to which Silicon may be entitled
pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Debtor’s
Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to
the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

 

7.9 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs,
beneficiaries and representatives of Debtor and Silicon; provided, however, that
Debtor may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited assignment shall be
void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release Debtor from its
liability for the Obligations.

 

7.10 Joint and Several Liability. If Debtor consists of more than one Person,
their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim
with, or the release of, any Debtor shall not constitute a compromise with, or a
release of, any other Debtor.

 

7.11 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Debtor against
Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based upon, arising from, or relating to this Agreement, or any other present or
future document or agreement, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing
whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Silicon, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be
barred unless asserted by Debtor by the commencement of an action or proceeding
in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one
year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause
of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and
complaint on an officer of Silicon, or on any other person authorized to accept
service on behalf of Silicon, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Debtor agrees
that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Debtor to
investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period
provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written
consent of Silicon in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any
termination of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement.

 

7.12 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this
Agreement for convenience. Debtor and Silicon acknowledge that the headings may
not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the
headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret
any term or provision of this Agreement. The term “including”, whenever used in
this Agreement, shall mean “including (but not limited to)”. This Agreement has
been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or
ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly
against Silicon or Debtor under any rule of construction or otherwise.

 

7.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and
transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Silicon and Debtor
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. As a material part of
the consideration to Silicon to enter into this Agreement, Debtor (i) agrees
that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this
Agreement shall, at Silicon’s option, be litigated in courts located within
California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Santa Clara County;
(ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to
service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any
other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Debtor may
have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change
the venue of any such action or proceeding.

This Continuing Guaranty is executed by the above-named guarantor (the
“Guarantor”), as of the above date, in favor of SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Silicon”),
whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, with respect
to the Indebtedness of the above-named borrower (“Borrower”).

 

8.

 

1. Continuing Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees and promises
to pay on demand to Silicon, at the address indicated above, or at such other
address as Silicon may direct, in lawful money of the United States, and to
perform for the benefit of Silicon, all Indebtedness of Borrower now or
hereafter owing to or held by Silicon. As used herein, the term “Indebtedness”
is used in its most comprehensive sense and shall mean and include without
limitation: (a) any and all debts, duties, obligations, liabilities,
representations, warranties and guaranties of Borrower or any one or more of
them, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred, or created pursuant to that
certain Loan and Security Agreement dated April 7, 2003, by and between Borrower
and Silicon, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Loan
Agreement”), whether voluntary or involuntary, due or not due, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, certain or uncertain, determined or
undetermined, monetary or nonmonetary, written or oral, and whether Borrower may
be liable individually or jointly with others, and regardless of whether
recovery thereon may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of
limitations, discharged or uncollectible in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
proceeding, or otherwise unenforceable; and (b) any and all amendments,
modifications, renewals and extensions of any or all of the foregoing, including
without limitation amendments, modifications, renewals and extensions which are
evidenced by any new or additional instrument, document or agreement; and (c)
any and all attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection charges incurred in
endeavoring to collect or enforce any of the foregoing against Borrower or
Guarantor (whether or not suit be brought) and any other expenses of, for or
incidental to collection thereof. As used herein, the term “Borrower” shall
include any successor to the business and assets of Borrower if any portion of
the Indebtedness remains outstanding, and shall also include Borrower in its
capacity as a debtor or debtor in possession under the federal Bankruptcy Code,
and any trustee, custodian or receiver for Borrower or any of its assets, should
Borrower hereafter become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary This Guaranty is given in consideration for
credit and other financial accommodations given by Silicon to Borrower pursuant
to the terms of the Loan Agreement. All sums due under this Guaranty shall bear
interest from the date due until the date paid at the highest rate charged with
respect to any of the Indebtedness.

 

2. Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives: (a) presentment for payment, notice of
dishonor, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument, and all
other notices and demands to which Guarantor might be entitled, including
without limitation notice of all of the following: the acceptance hereof; the
creation, existence, or acquisition of any Indebtedness; the amount of the
Indebtedness from time to time outstanding; any foreclosure sale or other
disposition of any property which secures any or all of the Indebtedness or
which secures the obligations of any other guarantor of any or all of the
Indebtedness; any adverse change in Borrower’s financial position; any other
fact which might increase Guarantor’s risk; any default, partial payment or
non-payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; the occurrence of any other
Event of Default (as hereinafter defined); any and all agreements and
arrangements between Silicon and Borrower and any changes, modifications, or
extensions thereof, and any revocation, modification or release of any guaranty
of any or all of the Indebtedness by any person (including without limitation
any other person signing this Guaranty); (b) any right to require Silicon to
institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, Borrower
or any other person, or to proceed

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the
Indebtedness, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to
any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with Silicon or
any indebtedness of Silicon to Borrower, or to exercise any other right or
power, or pursue any other remedy Silicon may have; (c) any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor or
any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any
cause whatsoever of any liability of Borrower or any other guarantor or any
endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the
Indebtedness, or by reason of any act or omission of Silicon or others which
directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of Borrower or any
other guarantor or any other person or any Indebtedness or any security
therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (d) any defense arising by
reason of any failure of Silicon to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force
any security interest in, or lien or encumbrance upon, any property of Borrower
or any other person; (e) any defense based upon any failure of Silicon to give
Guarantor notice of any sale or other disposition of any property securing any
or all of the Indebtedness, or any defects in any such notice that may be given,
or any failure of Silicon to comply with any provision of applicable law in
enforcing any security interest in or lien upon any property securing any or all
of the Indebtedness including, but not limited to, any failure by Silicon to
dispose of any property securing any or all of the Indebtedness in a
commercially reasonable manner; (f) any defense based upon or arising out of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt,
liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Borrower or any
other guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without
limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Indebtedness
(including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any
such proceeding; and (g) the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation with
respect to any action based upon, arising out of or related to this Guaranty.
Until all of the Indebtedness has been paid, performed, and discharged in full,
nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of Guarantor hereunder except
the full performance and payment of all of the Indebtedness. If any claim is
ever made upon Silicon for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts
received by Silicon in payment of or on account of any of the Indebtedness,
because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer
or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and Silicon repays
all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Silicon or any of its
property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim
effected by Silicon with any such claimant (including without limitation the
Borrower), then and in any such event, Guarantor agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon Guarantor,
notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Guaranty or the cancellation
of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness, or any
release of any of the Indebtedness, and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable
to Silicon under this Guaranty for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the
same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Silicon, and
the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect,
notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Guaranty. Until all of the
Indebtedness has been irrevocably paid and performed in full, Guarantor hereby
expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement
and indemnity of every kind against Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any
assets or property of Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security
held for the payment and performance of any Indebtedness, including (but not
limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Guarantor may have under any
present or future document or agreement with any Borrower or other person, and
including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Guarantor may
have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust
enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine. Neither Silicon, nor any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person
affiliated with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands,
losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered
by Guarantor or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or
any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person
affiliated with or representing Silicon.

 

3. Consents. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by
Guarantor and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or
liability of Guarantor hereunder, Silicon may, from time to time before or after
revocation of this Guaranty, do any one or more of the following in Silicon’s
sole and absolute discretion: (a) accelerate, accept partial payments of,
compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or
performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all
of the Indebtedness; (b) grant any other indulgence to Borrower or any other
person in respect of any or all of the Indebtedness or any other matter; (c)
accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend
the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of
any kind securing any or all of the Indebtedness or any guaranty of any or all
of the Indebtedness, or on which Silicon at any time may have a lien, or refuse
to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor
in respect of any or all of such property; (d) substitute or add, or take any
action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or
more endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Indebtedness, including,
without limitation one or more parties to this Guaranty, regardless of any
destruction or impairment of any right of

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contribution or other right of Guarantor; (e) amend, alter or change in any
respect whatsoever any term or provision relating to any or all of the
Indebtedness, including the rate of interest thereon; (f) apply any sums
received from Borrower, any other guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the
disposition of any collateral or security, to any indebtedness whatsoever owing
from such person or secured by such collateral or security, in such manner and
order as Silicon determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether
such indebtedness is part of the Indebtedness, is secured, or is due and
payable; (g) apply any sums received from Guarantor or from the disposition of
any collateral or security securing the obligations of Guarantor, to any of the
Indebtedness in such manner and order as Silicon determines in its sole
discretion, regardless of whether or not such Indebtedness is secured or is due
and payable. Guarantor consents and agrees that Silicon shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor, or against or in payment
of any or all of the Indebtedness. Guarantor further consents and agrees that
Silicon shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any
property securing any or all of the Indebtedness. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Silicon shall have no obligation to monitor,
verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any
property securing any or all of the Indebtedness.

 

4. Account Stated. Silicon’s books and records showing the account between it
and the Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding as
prima facie proof of the items therein set forth. Silicon’s monthly statements
rendered to the Borrower shall be binding upon the Guarantor (whether or not the
Guarantor receives copies thereof), and shall constitute an account stated
between Silicon and the Borrower, unless Silicon receives a written statement of
the Borrower’s exceptions within 30 days after the statement was mailed to the
Borrower. The Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining copies of such
monthly statements from the Borrower, if the Guarantor desires such copies.

 

5. Exercise of Rights and Remedies; Foreclosure of Trust Deeds. Guarantor
consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Guarantor and without
affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of Guarantor
hereunder, Silicon may, from time to time, before or after revocation of this
Guaranty, exercise any right or remedy it may have with respect to any or all of
the Indebtedness or any property securing any or all of the Indebtedness or any
guaranty thereof, including without limitation judicial foreclosure, nonjudicial
foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale, and taking a deed, assignment or
transfer in lieu of foreclosure as to any such property, and Guarantor expressly
waives any defense based upon the exercise of any such right or remedy,
notwithstanding the effect thereof upon any of Guarantor’s rights, including
without limitation, any destruction of Guarantor’s right of subrogation against
Borrower and any destruction of Guarantor’s right of contribution or other right
against any other guarantor of any or all of the Indebtedness or against any
other person, whether by operation of Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, or any comparable provisions of the laws of
any other jurisdiction, or any other statutes or rules of law now or hereafter
in effect, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a)
The guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because
the Indebtedness is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(1) Silicon may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real
or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower. (2) If Silicon
forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) The
amount of the Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price. (B) Silicon may collect from the Guarantor even if Silicon,
by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the
Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the
Indebtedness is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but
are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d,
or 726 of the Code of Civil Procedure. (b) The guarantor waives all rights and
defenses that the Guarantor may have because the guaranty of another guarantor
is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Silicon may
collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal
property collateral pledged by the other guarantor. (2) If Silicon forecloses on
any real property collateral pledged by the other guarantor: (A) The amount of
the Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale
price. (B) Silicon may collect from the Guarantor even if Silicon, by
foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the
Guarantor may have to obtain contribution from the other guarantor. This is an
unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor
may have because the obligations of the other guarantor are secured by real
property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights
or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.

 

6. Acceleration. Notwithstanding the terms of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder to pay and perform all
of the Indebtedness shall, at the option of Silicon, immediately become due

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and payable, without notice, and without regard to the expressed maturity of any
of the Indebtedness (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), (b) if any material
warranty, representation, statement, report, or certificate made or delivered to
Silicon by Guarantor, or any of its respective officers, partners,employees, or
agents, is incorrect, false, untrue, or misleading when given in any material
respect; or (c) if Guarantor shall fail to pay or perform when due all or any
part of the Indebtedness when due; or (d) Guarantor shall fail to pay or perform
when due any indebtedness or obligation of Guarantor to Silicon under this
Guaranty or any other instrument, document, or agreement relating thereto; or
(e) Guarantor shall revoke this Guaranty or contest or deny liability under this
Guaranty. All of the foregoing are hereinafter referred to as “Events of
Default”.

 

7. Right to Attachment Remedy. Guarantor agrees that, notwithstanding the
existence of any property securing any or all of the Indebtedness, Silicon shall
have all of the rights of an unsecured creditor of Guarantor, including without
limitation the right to obtain a temporary protective order and writ of
attachment against Guarantor with respect to any sums due under this Guaranty.
Guarantor further agrees that in the event any property secures the obligations
of Guarantor under this Guaranty, to the extent that Silicon, in its sole and
absolute discretion, determines prior to the disposition of such property that
the amount to be realized by Silicon therefrom may be less than the indebtedness
of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, Silicon shall have all the rights of an
unsecured creditor against Guarantor, including without limitation the right of
Silicon, prior to the disposition of said property, to obtain a temporary
protective order and writ of attachment against Guarantor. Guarantor waives the
benefit of Section 483.010(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure and of
any and all other statutes and rules of law now or hereafter in effect requiring
Silicon to first resort to or exhaust all such collateral before seeking or
obtaining any attachment remedy against Guarantor. Silicon shall have no
liability to Guarantor as a result thereof, whether or not the actual deficiency
realized by Silicon is less than the anticipated deficiency on the basis of
which Silicon obtains a temporary protective order or writ of attachment.

 

8. Indemnity. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify Silicon and hold Silicon
harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands,
obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including
without limitation attorneys’ fees but excluding any claims, debts, liabilities,
demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs or expenses
claimed by Borrower against Silicon), of every nature, character and
description, which Silicon may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any
of the Indebtedness, any actual or alleged failure to collect and pay over any
withholding or other tax relating to Borrower or its employees, any relationship
or agreement between Silicon and Borrower, any actual or alleged failure of
Silicon to comply with any writ of attachment or other legal process relating to
Borrower or any of its property, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever
occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Silicon relating in any way to
Borrower or the Indebtedness (except any such amounts sustained or incurred as
the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Silicon or any of
its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other person
affiliated with or representing Silicon). Notwithstanding any provision in this
Guaranty to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section
shall survive any termination or revocation of this Guaranty and shall for all
purposes continue in full force and effect.

 

9. Subordination. Any and all rights of Guarantor under any and all debts,
liabilities and obligations owing from Borrower to Guarantor, including any
security for and guaranties of any such obligations, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, are hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all of the Indebtedness. No payment in respect of any such
subordinated obligations shall at any time be made to or accepted by Guarantor
if at the time of such payment any Indebtedness is outstanding. If any Event of
Default has occurred, Borrower and any assignee, trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, or any other person having custody or control over any or all of
Borrower’s property are hereby authorized and directed to pay to Silicon the
entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness before making any payments whatsoever
to Guarantor, whether as a creditor, shareholder, or otherwise; and insofar as
may be necessary for that purpose. Any amounts received by Guarantor in
violation of the foregoing provisions shall be received and held as trustee for
the benefit of Silicon and shall forthwith be paid over to Silicon to be applied
to the Indebtedness to accrued, unpaid interest, fees and expenses under the
Loan Agreement and then to outstanding principal and then to any remaining
Indebtedness in such order and sequence as Silicon shall in its sole discretion
determine, without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy which Silicon
may have hereunder or otherwise and without otherwise affecting the liability of
Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right to set-off or
assert any counterclaim against Borrower until the Indebtedness is indefeasibly
paid in full.

 

10. Revocation. This is a Continuing Guaranty relating to all of the
Indebtedness, including Indebtedness arising under successive transactions which
from time to time continue the Indebtedness or renew it after it has

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

been satisfied. Guarantor waives all benefits of California Civil Code Section
2815, and agrees that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder may not be
terminated or revoked in any manner except by giving 90 days’ advance written
notice of revocation to Silicon at its address above by registered first-class
U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and only as to new loans
and any new advances made and any Indebtedness relating to such loans and
advances made by Silicon to Borrower more than 90 days after actual receipt of
such written notice by Silicon. No termination or revocation of this Guaranty
shall be effective until 90 days following the date of actual receipt of said
written notice of revocation by Silicon. Notwithstanding such written notice of
revocation or any other act of Guarantor or any other event or circumstance,
Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty and all consents, waivers and other
provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as to any and all
Indebtedness which is outstanding on or before the 90th day following actual
receipt of said written notice of revocation by Silicon, and all extensions,
renewals and modifications of said Indebtedness (including without limitation
amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications which are evidenced by new or
additional instruments, documents or agreements executed before or after
expiration of said 90-day period), and all interest thereon, accruing before or
after expiration of said 90-day period, and all attorneys’ fees, court costs and
collection charges, incurred before or after expiration of said 90-day period,
in endeavoring to collect or enforce any of the foregoing against Borrower,
Guarantor or any other person liable thereon (whether or not suit be brought)
and any other expenses of, for or incidental to collection thereof.

 

11. Independent Liability. Guarantor hereby agrees that one or more successive
or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor, in the same
action in which Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed
advisable by Silicon. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and
independent of any other guaranty of any or all of the Indebtedness whether
executed by Guarantor or by any other guarantor (including without limitation
any other persons signing this Guaranty). The liability of Guarantor hereunder
shall not be affected, revoked, impaired, or reduced by any one or more of the
following: (a) the fact that the Indebtedness exceeds the maximum amount of
Guarantor’s liability, if any, specified herein or elsewhere (and no agreement
specifying a maximum amount of Guarantor’s liability shall be enforceable unless
set forth in a writing signed by Silicon or set forth in this Guaranty); or (b)
any direction as to the application of payment by Borrower or by any other
party; or (c) any other continuing or restrictive guaranty or undertaking or any
limitation on the liability of any other guarantor (whether under this Guaranty
or under any other agreement); or (d) any payment on or reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking; or (e) any revocation, amendment, modification or
release of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (f) any dissolution or
termination of, or increase, decrease, or change in membership of any Guarantor
which is a partnership. Guarantor hereby expressly represents that it was not
induced to give this Guaranty by the fact that there are or may be other
guarantors either under this Guaranty or otherwise, and Guarantor agrees that
any release of any one or more of such other guarantors shall not release
Guarantor from its obligations hereunder either in full or to any lesser extent.

 

12. Financial Condition of Borrower. Guarantor is fully aware of the financial
condition of Borrower and is executing and delivering this Guaranty at
Borrower’s request and based solely upon its own independent investigation of
all matters pertinent hereto, and Guarantor is not relying in any manner upon
any representation or statement of Silicon with respect thereto. Guarantor
represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and Guarantor hereby
assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning
Borrower’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as
Guarantor may desire, and Guarantor is not relying upon or expecting Silicon to
furnish to it any information now or hereafter in Silicon’s possession
concerning the same or any other matter. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor
knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of
continuing guaranty, which risks Guarantor acknowledges include without
limitation the possibility that Borrower will incur additional Indebtedness for
which Guarantor will be liable hereunder after Borrower’s financial condition or
ability to pay such Indebtedness has deteriorated and/or after bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings have been commenced by or against Borrower. Guarantor
shall have no right to require Silicon to obtain or disclose any information
with respect to the Indebtedness, the financial condition or character of
Borrower, the existence of any collateral or security for any or all of the
Indebtedness, the filing by or against Borrower of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, the existence of any other guaranties of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, any action or non-action on the part of Silicon, Borrower, or any
other person, or any other matter, fact, or occurrence.

 

13. Reports and Financial Statements of Guarantor. Guarantor shall, at its sole
cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, prepare or cause to be
prepared, and provide to Silicon upon Silicon’s request (i) such financial
statements and reports concerning Guarantor for such periods of time as Silicon
may designate (but not with any greater frequency as is required of the Borrower
under the Loan Agreement), (ii) any other information concerning

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guarantor’s business, financial condition or affairs as Silicon may request, and
(iii) copies of any and all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns and
reports of or relating to Guarantor as Silicon may from time to time request.
Guarantor hereby intentionally and knowingly waives any and all rights and
privileges it may have not to divulge or deliver said tax returns, reports and
other information which are requested by Silicon hereunder or in any litigation
in which Silicon may be involved relating directly or indirectly to Borrower or
to Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees immediately to give written notice to
Silicon of any material adverse change in Guarantor’s financial condition and of
any condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default under this
Guaranty. All reports and information furnished to Silicon hereunder shall be
complete, accurate and correct in all respects. Whenever requested in connection
with any foregoing financial information, Guarantor shall further deliver to
Silicon a certificate signed by Guarantor (and, if Guarantor is a partnership,
by all general partners of Guarantor, in their individual capacities, and, if
Guarantor is a corporation, by the president and secretary of Guarantor, in
their individual capacities) warranting and representing that all reports,
financial statements and other documents and information delivered or caused to
be delivered to Silicon under this Guaranty, are complete, correct and
thoroughly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor, and that
there exists on the date of delivery of said certificate to Silicon no condition
or event which constitutes an Event of Default under this Guaranty.

 

14. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants
that (i) it is in Guarantor’s direct interest to assist Borrower in procuring
credit, because Borrower is an affiliate of Guarantor, furnishes goods or
services to Guarantor, purchases or acquires goods or services from Guarantor,
and/or otherwise has a direct or indirect corporate or business relationship
with Guarantor, (ii) this Guaranty has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the execution and
delivery of this Guaranty does not violate or constitute a default under (with
or without the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both) any order,
judgment, decree, instrument or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by
which it or its assets are affected or bound.

 

15. Costs. Whether or not suit be instituted, except as may be otherwise
provided herein Guarantor agrees to reimburse Silicon on demand for all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Silicon in enforcing this Guaranty, or arising out of or relating in any way
to this Guaranty, or in enforcing any of the Indebtedness against Borrower,
Guarantor, or any other person, or in connection with any property of any kind
securing all or any part of the Indebtedness. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, and in addition thereto, Guarantor shall reimburse Silicon on
demand for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs Silicon incurs in any way
relating to Guarantor, Borrower or the Indebtedness, in order to: obtain legal
advice; enforce or seek to enforce any of its rights; commence, intervene in,
respond to, or defend any action or proceeding; file, prosecute or defend any
claim or cause of action in any action or proceeding (including without
limitation any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, secured
creditor claim, reclamation complaint, and complaint for relief from any stay
under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise); protect, obtain possession of, sell,
lease, dispose of or otherwise enforce any security interest in or lien on any
property of any kind securing any or all of the Indebtedness; or represent
Silicon in any litigation with respect to Borrower’s or Guarantor’s affairs. In
the event either Silicon or Guarantor files any lawsuit against the other
predicated on a breach of this Guaranty, the prevailing party in such action
shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs of suit from the
non-prevailing party.

 

16. Notices. Any notice which a party shall be required or shall desire to give
to the other hereunder (except for notice of revocation, which shall be governed
by Section 10 of this Guaranty) shall be given by personal delivery or by
telecopier or by depositing the same in the United States mail, first class
postage pre-paid, addressed to Silicon at its address set forth in the heading
of this Guaranty and to Guarantor at his address set forth under his signature
hereon, and such notices shall be deemed duly given on the date of personal
delivery or one day after the date telecopied or 3 business days after the date
of mailing as aforesaid. Silicon and Guarantor may change their address for
purposes of receiving notices hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the
other party in accordance herewith. Guarantor shall give Silicon immediate
written notice of any change in his address.

 

17. Construction; Severability. If more than one person has executed this
Guaranty, the term “Guarantor” as used herein shall be deemed to refer to all
and any one or more such persons and their obligations hereunder shall be joint
and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if more than one
person has executed this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall in all respects be
interpreted as though each person signing this Guaranty had signed a separate
Guaranty, and references herein to “other guarantors” or words of similar effect
shall include without limitation other persons signing this Guaranty. As used in
this Guaranty, the term “property” is used in its most comprehensive sense and
shall mean all property of every kind and nature whatsoever, including without
limitation real property, personal property, mixed

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

property, tangible property and intangible property. Words used herein in the
masculine gender shall include the neuter and feminine gender, words used herein
in the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine, words used herein
in the singular shall include the plural and words used in the plural shall
include the singular, wherever the context so reasonably requires. If any
provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any party or
circumstance is held invalid, void, inoperative or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Guaranty and the application of such provision to other parties or
circumstances shall not be affected thereby, the provisions of this Guaranty
being severable in any such instance.

 

18. General Provisions. Silicon shall have the right to seek recourse against
Guarantor to the full extent provided for herein and in any other instrument or
agreement evidencing obligations of Guarantor to Silicon, and against Borrower
to the full extent of the Indebtedness. No election in one form of action or
proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a
waiver of Silicon’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding
or against any other party. The failure of Silicon to enforce any of the
provisions of this Guaranty at any time or for any period of time shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right thereafter to
enforce the same. All remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Silicon by law or under any
other instrument or agreement. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Guarantor of each and every obligation under this Guaranty. If Borrower is a
corporation, partnership or other entity, Guarantor hereby agrees that Silicon
shall have no obligation to inquire into the power or authority of Borrower or
any of its officers, directors, partners, or agents acting or purporting to act
on its behalf, and any Indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the
professed exercise of any such power or authority shall be included in the
Indebtedness guaranteed hereby. This Guaranty is the entire and only agreement
between Guarantor and Silicon with respect to the guaranty of the Indebtedness
of Borrower by Guarantor, and all representations, warranties, agreements, or
undertakings heretofore or contemporaneously made, which are not set forth
herein, are superseded hereby. No course of dealings between the parties, no
usage of the trade, and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be
used or be relevant to supplement or explain or modify any term or provision of
this Guaranty. There are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this
Guaranty. The terms and provisions hereof may not be waived, altered, modified,
or amended except in a writing executed by Guarantor and a duly authorized
officer of Silicon. All rights, benefits and privileges hereunder shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Silicon and its successors and assigns and
shall be binding upon Guarantor and his heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and assigns. Section headings are used
herein for convenience only. Guarantor acknowledges that the same may not
describe completely the subject matter of the applicable Section, and the same
shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term
or provision hereof.

 

19. Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction. This instrument and all acts and
transactions pursuant or relating hereto and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be governed, construed, and interpreted in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of California. In order to induce Silicon to
accept this Guaranty, and as a material part of the consideration therefor,
Guarantor (i) agrees that all actions or proceedings relating directly or
indirectly hereto shall, at the option of Silicon, be litigated in courts
located within Santa Clara 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 or any other method permitted by law; and (iii)
waives any and all rights Guarantor may have to transfer or change the venue of
any such action or proceeding.

 

20. Mutual Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. SILICON AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON,
ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (i) THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY SUPPLEMENT
OR AMENDMENT THERETO; OR (ii) ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR
AGREEMENT BETWEEN SILICON AND GUARANTOR; OR (iii) ANY BREACH, CONDUCT, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF SILICON OR GUARANTOR OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSON AFFILIATED WITH OR
REPRESENTING SILICON OR GUARANTOR; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

 

22. Receipt of Copy. Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Guaranty.
