|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so funded.

|            |  |                            
|----------- |  | ---------------------------

|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | FEES AND EXPENSES
|-- | -----------------



3.1 Fees.



|(a) | Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay a fee on any difference between the Facility No. 1 Commitment and the amount of credit they actually use, determined by the
average of the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at 0.25% per year. The calculation of credit outstanding shall include the undrawn amount of letters of credit. This fee is due on April 1,
2004, and on the same day of each following quarter until the expiration of the availability period.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

|(b) | Waiver Fee. If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers will, at the Banks option, pay the Bank a fee for each
waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrowers request the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrowers. The Bank
may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers agree to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15)

|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3.2 Expenses. The Borrowers agree to immediately repay the Bank for expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal

|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
|-- | ---------------------------------



4.1 Disbursements and Payments.



|(a) | Each payment by the Borrowers will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by direct debit to a deposit account as specified below or, for payments not required to
be made by direct debit, by mail to the address shown on the Borrowers statement or at one of the Banks banking centers in the United States.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrowers will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrowers to
sign one or more promissory notes.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4.2 Requests for Credit;
Equal Access by all Borrowers. If there is more than one Borrower, any Borrower (or a person or persons authorized by any one of the Borrowers), acting alone, can borrow up to the full amount of credit provided under this Agreement. Each
Borrower will be liable for all extensions of credit made under this Agreement to any other Borrower.



4.3 Telephone and Telefax Authorization.



|(a) | The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and telefax requests for the issuance of letters of
credit given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of any of the Borrowers, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number 12330-24344 owned by the Borrowers or such other of the Borrowers accounts with the Bank as
designated in writing by the Borrowers.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | The Borrowers will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank
reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrowers to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive this Agreements termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4.4 Direct Debit (Pre-Billing).



|(a) | The Borrowers agree that the Bank will debit deposit account number 12330-24344 owned by the Borrowers or such other of the Borrowers accounts with the Bank as designated in
writing by the Borrowers (the Designated Account) on the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrowers become due (the Due Date).
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



5



---

|(b) | Prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrowers a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the Billed Amount). The bill will be mailed a
specified number of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by the Bank and the Borrowers. The calculations in the bill will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or
payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the Accrued Amount). If the Billed Amount debited to
the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrowers will not be in
default by reason of any such discrepancy.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based
on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrowers interest on any overpayment.



|(d) | The Borrowers will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any
debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4.5 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the
Banks lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All
payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.



4.6 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest
and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this
Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.



4.7 Default Rate.
Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 6.0 percentage
point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.



4.8 Taxes. If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the United States, the Borrowers will not deduct
any foreign taxes from any payments it makes to the Bank. If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the Borrowers (including payments under this paragraph), the Borrowers will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time
interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed. The Borrowers will confirm that they have paid the taxes by giving the
Bank official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due date.



|5. | CONDITIONS

|(a) | This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to
controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a Claim). For the purposes of this arbitration
provision only, the term parties shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the
Act). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof
(JAMS), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U. S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit
is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of
any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be
issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise
written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.

|(e) | The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of
the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(g) | The procedure described above will not apply if the Claim, at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, arises from or relates to an obligation to the Bank secured by real
property. In this case, all of the parties to this agreement must consent to submission of the Claim to arbitration. If both parties do not consent to arbitration, the Claim will be resolved as follows: The parties will designate a referee (or a
panel of referees) selected under the auspices of JAMS in the same manner as arbitrators are selected in JAMS administered proceedings. The designated referee(s) will be appointed by a court as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section
638 and the following related sections. The referee (or presiding referee of the panel) will be an active attorney or a retired judge. The award that results from the decision of the referee(s) will be entered as a judgment in the court that
appointed the referee, in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(h) | The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to
arbitration.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(i) | By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending
in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this agreement.

|(i) | Each Borrower waives any right to require the Bank to proceed against any other Borrower or any other person; proceed against or exhaust any security; or pursue any other remedy.
Further, each Borrower consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Borrowers under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the
Borrowers.

9.8 One Agreement. This Agreement and any
related security or other agreements required by this Agreement, collectively:



|(a) | represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrowers concerning this credit;
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrowers concerning this credit; and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | are intended by the Bank and the Borrowers as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this
Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. Any reference in any related document to a promissory note or a note executed by the Borrowers and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement, as
now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.



9.9
Indemnification. The Borrowers will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required
hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrowers hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes but is not
limited to attorneys fees (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This
indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrowers obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrowers, due and payable immediately without demand.

between the Bank and the Borrowers, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by

receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, or (iii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.



9.11 Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only
and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.



9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.



9.13 Prior
Agreement Superseded. This Agreement supersedes the Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note entered into as of August 22, 2001, between the Bank and the Borrowers, and any credit outstanding thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding under
this Agreement.
