     C.    Borrower has requested that Bank amend the Loan Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date,

     D.    Bank has agreed to so amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, but only to the
extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties set forth below.



Agreement




     Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to
be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:



          1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have
the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.



          2.    Amendments to Loan Agreement.



               2.1    Collateral. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended (i) by deleting Section 4.1 in
its entirety and replacing it with the words “4.1 [Reserved]”, (ii) by deleting Exhibit A and
replacing it with the words “Exhibit A [Reserved]” and (iii) by making conforming changes
throughout the Loan Agreement to remove any references to ‘Collateral’ wherever they appear
therein, except that the obligation to cash collateralize Letters of Credit under Sections 2.1.2 or
9.1 of the Loan Agreement shall remain in effect.



              2.2    Section 2.1.1 (Advances). Section 2.1.1(a) is amended in its entirety and
replaced by the following:



          (a)    Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus (i) the amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) plus an
amount equal to the Letter of Credit Reserve, minus (ii) the FX Reserve, minus (iii) any amounts
used for Cash Management Services, and minus (iv) the outstanding principal balance of any
Advances.



 









 




               2.3    Section 2.1.2 (Letters of Credit). Section 2.1.2(a) is amended and restated in
its entirety and replaced with the following:



          (a) Bank will issue or have issued standby Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account in an
aggregate amount not to exceed [(x)] $10,000,000 [minus (y) the FX Reserve minus (z) any amounts
used for Cash Management Services] (each, a “Letter of Credit”). Each Letter of Credit will have
an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Maturity Date, but Borrower’s reimbursement
obligation will be secured by cash in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such
Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith
on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Maturity Date if such Maturity Date is not
extended by Bank or if an Event of Default occurs and continues. Borrower agrees to execute any
further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.



               2.4    Foreign Exchange Sublimit. A new Section 2.1.2 is added as follows:



     2.1.2    Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower may enter
into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to
Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the
“Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least [one (1)] FX
Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each
outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to [One Million Dollars
($1,000,000)] (the “FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may
not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. The amount otherwise available for Credit
Extensions under the Committed Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts needed to
fully reimburse Bank will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue
interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.



               2.5    Cash Management Services Sublimit. A new Section 2.1.3 is added as follows:



     2.1.3    Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use up to [Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000)] of the Committed Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services which may
include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing
services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash
Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management
Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at
the interest rate applicable to Advances.



               2.6    Section 2.3 (Overadvances). Section 2.3 is amended and restated in its entirety
and replaced with the following:



     2.3    Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any
Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (b) the face amount of any
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of
Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount exceeds the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower
shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.



               2.7    Section 2.5 (Fees). Section 2.5(a) is amended and restated in its entirety and
replaced with the following:



          (a)    Committed Revolving Line Fee. If, at any time, Borrower fails to maintain
a minimum aggregate amount of $30,000,000 of unrestricted funds on deposit for 10
consecutive Business Days with SVB Asset Management and/or SVB Securities, Borrower shall
pay an additional $20,000 fee for the Committed Revolving Line.



               2.8    Section 6.7 (Financial Covenant). Section 6.7 is amended and restated in its
entirety and replaced with the following:



 









 




     At all times, Borrower shall have unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of Credit
Extensions) of not less than $40,000,000.



               2.9    Section 9.1 (Rights and Remedies). New Sections 9.1(h) and 9.1(i) are added as
follows:



          (h)    demand that Borrower (i) deposits cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any
future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such
amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all
Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of
Credit;



          (i)    terminate any FX Forward Contracts.



               2.10    Section 13 (Definitions). The following terms and their definition set forth
in Section 13.1 are amended in their entirety and replaced with the following:




     “Business Day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking
institutions in the State of California are authorized or required by law or other
governmental action to close, except that if any determination of a “Business Day” shall
relate to an FX Forward Contract, then the term “Business Day” shall mean a day on which
dealings are carried on in the country of settlement of the foreign (i.e., non-Dollar)
currency.




     “Committed Revolving Line” is an Advance or Advances in an aggregate amount of up to
$10,000,000.

     “FX Business Day” is any day when (a) Bank’s Foreign Exchange Department is conducting
