and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of San Diego, State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH
COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES." 



        12.   Section 12
of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:] 



         "12    REFERENCE
PROVISION. 


         In
the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision. 


         12.1    Mechanics.



        (a)   With
the exception of the items specified in clause (c), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a "Claim") between the parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the "Comerica Documents"), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in
California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP"), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy
for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Comerica Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be
in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is
otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the "Court"). 


        (b)   The
matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property,
(ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary
remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any
party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in 



4







 

clauses (i)
and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to,
any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein. 


        (c)   The
referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written
request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a
referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each
party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). 


        (d)   The
parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods
specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if
practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days
after the matter has been submitted for decision. 


        (e)   The
referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause,
including a party's failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to "priority" in conducting
discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes
relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding. 


        12.2     Procedures.    Except
as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference
proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All
proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any
hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the
court reporter. Subject to the referee's power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial. 


        12.3     Application
of Law.    The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law
and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall
be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including
without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that
are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by
the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the
referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a 



5







 




different
judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision. 


        12.4     Repeal.    If
the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no
successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be
conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act § 1280 through § 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The
limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding. 


        12.5     THE
PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT
BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL
PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER COMERICA
DOCUMENTS." 




        13.   Annex 1
is hereby removed from the Agreement in its entirety. 


        14.   Exhibit D
to the Agreement is hereby replaced with Exhibit D attached hereto. 


        15.   Bank
hereby waives Borrower's violation of Section 6.7 of the Agreement as in effect prior to the date hereof for the quarters ending December 31, 2005 and
March 31, 2006. 


        16.   Bank
shall conduct an audit with results reasonably satisfactory to Bank before Borrower shall be permitted to request future Advances under the Revolving Line. 


        17.   No
course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any
single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank's failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not
affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank. 



        18.   Unless
otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain
in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of
this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. 


        19.   Borrower
represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this
Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 


        20.   As
a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following: 



        (a)   this
Amendment, duly executed by Borrower; 


        (b)   a
Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment; 


        (c)   a
warrant to purchase stock; 



6







 




        (d)   a
facility fee in the amount of $3,000, which may be debited from any of Borrower's accounts; 



        (e)   all
reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower's accounts; and 


        (f)    such
other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. 




        21.   This
Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 



        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the first date above written.
