INC., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 2010 North First Street, Suite 310, San
Jose, California 95131, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the principal sum of
                                         Dollars ($                      ), with Basic Interest thereon

prepares the Note plus 2.288%, but in no event less than 6.538%;
the “Designated Rate”) [, and a Terminal Payment in the sum of                     
[10.00% of face amount ] Dollars ($                                          ) payable on the Maturity Date.]



     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan
and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2004, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan
Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of
this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.



     Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:



     On the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay (i) interest at a rate of twelve percent (13.2%)
per annum, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the period from the
Borrowing Date through [ the last day of the same
month] ; and (ii) a first
(1st) amortization installment of principal and Basic Interest at the
Designated Rate in the amount of
                                        , in advance for the month of [first full month after
Borrowing Date] and (iii) a thirty-sixth (36th ), amortization installment of principal and Basic Interest at the
Designated Rate in the amount of $
                                        ,
in advance for the month of [date of last regular
amortization payment].



     Commencing on the first day of the second full month after the Borrowing Date, and continuing
on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, principal and Basic Interest at the
Designated Rate shall be payable, in advance, in thirty-three
(33) equal consecutive installments
of                  Dollars
($      ) each, with a 34th installment equal to the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued Basic
Interest at the Designated Rate on
                                        , 200     . The Terminal Payment and unpaid expenses, fees, interest and
principal amount shall be due and payable on [one month later] , 200      ].

respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the Default
Rate. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.



     Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were
used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess
of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.



     This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 2 of Part 2 of the
Supplement to the Loan Agreement.














 






     If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business
Days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not
less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be
charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such
delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum
considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to
make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and
inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect
any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other
Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.



     This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
California.
