 As of June 2, 2004 
  
 Prudential Investment Management, Inc. 
 The Series A Purchasers listed on the Purchaser Schedule hereto 
 Each Prudential Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) 
     which becomes bound by certain provisions 
     of this Agreement as hereinafter provided 
 c/o Prudential Capital Group 
 Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2700 
 San Francisco, California 94111 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 The undersigned, McGrath RentCorp, a California corporation (the
“Company”), hereby agrees with you as follows: 
  
 1.
AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF NOTES 
  
 1A. Authorization of
Issue of Series A Notes. 
  
 The Company has authorized the
issue and sale of its Series A Senior Notes (the “Series A Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000, to be dated the date hereof, to mature June 2, 2011, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date
thereof until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable at the rate of 5.08% per annum and on any overdue payment of principal, interest or Yield-Maintenance Amount at the rate specified in the Series A Notes, and to be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto. 
  
 The terms
“Series A Note” and “Series A Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Series A Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such
Series A Note pursuant to any such provision. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in paragraph 10; references to a paragraph are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the paragraphs of this Agreement and references to an
“Exhibit” or “Schedule” are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the exhibits or schedules attached to this Agreement. 
  
 1B. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. 
  
 The Company will authorize the issue of additional senior promissory notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$20,000,000, to be dated the date of issue 
  

 1 







 thereof, to mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than ten years after the date of original issuance
thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than seven years, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be
set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. 
  
 The terms “Shelf Note” and “Shelf Notes” as
used herein shall include each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms “Note” and
“Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision.
Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest
payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a
“Series” of Notes. 
  
 2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES

  
 2A. Purchase and Sale of Series A Notes.

  
 The Company hereby agrees to sell to each Series A
Purchaser and, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Series A Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company the principal amount of Series A Notes set forth opposite such Series A Purchaser’s name on the Purchaser
Schedule attached hereto (the “Purchaser Schedule”) at 100% of such principal amount. On June 2, 2004 (herein called the “Series A Closing Day”), the Company will deliver to each Series A Purchaser at the offices of
Bingham McCutchen LLP, Three Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California, one or more Series A Notes registered in its or its nominee’s name (as specified in the Purchaser Schedule), evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes
to be purchased by such Series A Purchaser and in the denomination or denominations specified with respect to such Series A Purchaser in the Purchaser Schedule, against payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds as set forth in the Series A Notes Funding Instruction Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
  
 2B. Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes. 
  
 2B(1). Facility. 
  
 Subject to paragraph 2B(2), PIM is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by
PIM and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of PIM to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility.” At any time, (i) $20,000,000,
minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of 
  

 2 







 Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of Accepted Shelf Notes which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PIM TO
CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PIM NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER
TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PIM OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 
  

2B(2). Issuance Period. 
  
 Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement
(or if any such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after PIM shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to PIM, written notice stating that it elects
to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to
this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period.” 
  
 2B(3). Request for Purchase. 
  
 The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase
shall be made to PIM by facsimile or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at
the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than ten years from the date of issuance), and principal prepayment dates and amounts (which shall result in an average life of
no more than seven years) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the
Issuance Period not less than ten days and not more than twenty-five days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of
such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on
the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by PIM. 

 

 3 







 2B(4). Rate Quotes. 
  
 Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given PIM a Request for Purchase pursuant to
paragraph 2B(3), PIM may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to an Authorized Officer of the Company by telephone interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities and principal prepayment schedules of Shelf Notes
specified in such Request for Purchase. Each such quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which PIM or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes
at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 
  
 2B(5). Acceptance. 
  
 Within two
minutes after PIM shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), or such shorter period as PIM may specify to the Company (such period herein called the “Acceptance Window”), the Company may, subject to
paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the
Company notifying PIM by telephone or facsimile within the Acceptance Window (but not earlier than 9:30 a.m. or later than 1:30 p.m. (or such later time as PIM may agree), New York City local time) that the Company elects to accept such interest
rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Shelf Note”) as to which such acceptance (herein called an “Acceptance”) relates. The day the Company notifies PIM of an
Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Shelf Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Shelf Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which PIM does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall
expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraphs 2B(2) and 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to PIM or a Prudential
Affiliate, and PIM agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, PIM and each
Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Shelf Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If
the Company should fail to execute and return to PIM within two Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Shelf Notes, PIM may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel
the closing with respect to such Accepted Shelf Notes by so notifying the Company in writing. 
  
 2B(6). Market Disruption. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if PIM shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) and
thereafter, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to PIM in accordance with paragraph 2B(5), the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives 
  

 4 







 shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant
disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall
be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies PIM of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and PIM promptly shall notify the
Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 
  
 2B(7). Facility Closings. 
  
 Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Shelf Notes, the Company will deliver to each
Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Prudential Capital Group, Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2700, San Francisco, California 94111 (or such other address as PIM may specify in writing), the Accepted
Shelf Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Shelf Notes to be purchased on such Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and
registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the account(s) specified in the Request for Purchase of such Shelf
Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Shelf Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions
specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify PIM (which notification shall be deemed
received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled
Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to PIM (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in
paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee, if applicable, in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(ii), or (ii) such closing is to be canceled and the Company will pay the Cancellation Fee as
provided in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, PIM (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on
such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled and the Company is obligated to pay the Cancellation Fee as provided in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Shelf Notes on not more than one (1) occasion, unless PIM shall have otherwise consented in writing. 
  

 5 







 2B(8). Fees. 
  
 2B(8)(i). Draw Fees. 
  
 The Company will pay to or as directed by PIM in immediately available funds a fee (herein called a
“Draw Fee”) on or before each Closing Day (including the Series A Closing Day) in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold on such Closing Day. 
  
 2B(8)(ii). Delayed Delivery Fee. 
  
 If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted
Shelf Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, the Company will pay to or as directed by PIM on (x) the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale or (y) if earlier, the
next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, a fee (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows: 
  
 (BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA 
  
 where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Shelf Note;
“MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by PIM on the date PIM receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Shelf Note having
a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by PIM each time such closing is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement,
i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note) or from and including the date of
the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal
amount of the Accepted Shelf Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Shelf Note on any day other than
the Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7). 
  
 2B(8)(iii). Cancellation Fee. 
  
 If the Company at any time notifies PIM in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted
Shelf Note, or if PIM notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Shelf Note is

 Within the earlier of (i) 10 days after any Person (including any Person holding assets acquired from TRS) becomes an Active Subsidiary and (ii)
concurrent with such time as such Person becomes obligated under a Guarantee of any other credit facility, the Company will cause such Person to (a) become a party to the Multiparty Guaranty and the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, and (b)

Person, each of foregoing in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. If any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary and if, after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default then exists, then the Company may deliver
to PIM a certificate of a Responsible Officer to both such effects and, upon the later of (i) such delivery and (ii) concurrently with such time as that Subsidiary Guarantor has been released from all of its obligations under each Guarantee of other

 24 







 8. REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES. 
  
 The Company represents, covenants and warrants as follows: 
  
 8A. Organization. 
  
 The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of California, each other Credit Party is duly
organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed. Schedule 8A hereto is an accurate and complete list as of the Series A Closing Day of all Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, including the
jurisdiction of organization and ownership of all such Subsidiaries. The Company and each Subsidiary has the corporate power to own its respective properties and to carry on its respective businesses as now being conducted and is duly qualified and
authorized to do business in each other jurisdiction in which the character of its respective properties or the nature of its respective businesses require such qualification or authorization except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 8B. Financial Statements. 
  
 The Company has
furnished each Purchaser of the Series A Notes and any Accepted Shelf Notes with the following financial statements: (i) consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31st in each of the three fiscal years of the
Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is made or repeated to such Purchaser (other than fiscal years completed within 90 days prior to such date for which audited financial statements have not been
released) and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such year, all reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP (in the case such financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001) or by Grant Thornton LLP (in the case of all such financial statements for each fiscal year ended after December 31, 2001) and (ii) consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly
period (if any) most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly periods completed within 45 days prior to such date for which financial statements have not been released) and the comparable
quarterly period in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such
quarterly periods, prepared by the Company. Such financial statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) are true and correct in all material respects (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from audits and year-end
adjustments), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently followed throughout the periods involved and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such
principles. The balance sheets fairly present the consolidated condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows fairly present the results of the operations
of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their cash flows for the periods indicated. There has been no material adverse change in the business, property or assets, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole since the end of the most recent fiscal year for which such audited financial statements have been furnished. 
  

 25 







 8C. Actions Pending. 
  
 There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of
the Credit Parties or any Subsidiaries or any properties or rights of such Persons, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 8D. Outstanding Funded Debt. 
  
 The Credit Parties do not have outstanding any Funded Debt except as
permitted by paragraphs 6A(2) and 6F. There exists no default under the provisions of any instrument evidencing such indebtedness or of any agreement relating thereto. 
  
 8E. Title to Properties. 
  
 Each of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to its respective real properties and good and merchantable title to all of its
other respective properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in paragraph 8B (other than properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business), subject to
no Lien of any kind except Liens permitted by paragraph 6E. All leases necessary in any material respect for the conduct of the respective businesses of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect.

  
 8F. Taxes. 
  
 Each of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and
other income tax returns which, to the best knowledge of the officers of such Credit Parties are required to be filed, and each has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have
become due, except such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. The Company has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its
income tax payable with respect to any year that could, with reasonable likelihood, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 8G. Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. 
  
 None of the Credit Parties or Active Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any restriction which materially and adversely
affects its business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, nor the offering, issuance and 
  

 26 







 sale of the Notes, nor the fulfillment of, nor the compliance with, the terms and provisions hereof and of the Notes will
conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Credit Party or
Subsidiary pursuant to the charter or by-laws (or comparable governing documents) of any such Person, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with equityholders of such Persons), instrument, order, judgment, decree,
statute, law, rule or regulation to which such Person is subject. None of the Credit Parties or any Active Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Funded Debt of such Person, any
agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Funded Debt of such Person of the type to be evidenced by the Notes or created
by the Multiparty Guaranty except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule 8G attached hereto (as such Schedule 8G may have been modified from time to time by written supplements thereto delivered by the Company to PIM).

  
 8H. Offering of Notes. 
  
 Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has, directly or
indirectly, offered the Notes or any similar security of the Company for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy the Notes or any similar security of the Company from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect thereto with, any Person other
than PIM and the Purchasers, and neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which would subject the issuance, offer or sale of the Notes to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the
provisions of any securities or Blue Sky law of any applicable jurisdiction. 
  
 8I. Use of Proceeds. 
  
 The proceeds of the Series A Notes will be used to (i) refinance a portion of certain existing Funded Debt of the Company, (ii) provide working capital and funds for other corporate purposes, and (iii) to finance the acquisition of TRS.
None of the proceeds of the sale of any Notes will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin stock”) or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is then currently a margin
stock or for any other purpose which would constitute the purchase of such Notes a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which
might cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter
be in effect. 
  
 8J. ERISA. 
  
 No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of ERISA and
section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer 
  

 27 







 Plan). No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been or is expected by the Credit Parties, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the business, property or assets,
condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under
Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which is or would be materially adverse to the business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes will be exempt from or will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection
with which a penalty could be imposed under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975 of the Code. The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy
of the representation of each Purchaser in paragraph 9B as to the source of funds to be used by it to purchase any Notes. 
  
 8K. Governmental Consent. 
  
 Neither the nature of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any relationship between any of the
Credit Parties or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or the use of the proceeds thereof is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval,
exemption or any action by or notice to or filing with any court or administrative or governmental body (other than routine filings after the Closing Day for any Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky authorities) in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of any other Transaction
Document.

 8M. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc. 
  
 (i) Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or

employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, assuming in all cases that such Act applies to the Company. 
  
 8N. Disclosure. 
  
 Neither this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to PIM or any Purchaser by or
on behalf of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection herewith or in connection with the issuance of the Notes contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein and therein not misleading. There is no fact peculiar to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary that has or in the future may (so far as the Company can now foresee) have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or
in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Credit Party specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 8O. Hostile Tender Offers.

Subsidiaries is solvent. 
  
 8R. Absence of Financing
Statements. 
  
 Except with respect to Liens permitted by
paragraph 6E hereof, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or give
notice of any present or possible future Lien on, or security interest in, any assets or property of the Credit Parties or any rights relating thereto. 
  
 9. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASERS. 
  
 Each Purchaser represents as follows: 
  
 9A. Nature of Purchase. 
  
 Such Purchaser is purchasing the Notes to be purchased by it hereunder for its own account or for one or more separate accounts or investment funds
maintained or managed by it or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds (or commingled pension trust funds) and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided that the disposition
of such Purchaser’s or such other Person’s property shall at all times be and remain within its or their control.  
  
 9B. Source of Funds. 
  
 At least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such
Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder: 
  
 (i) the Source is an “insurance company general account” (as the term is defined in the United States Department of
Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by
or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of
the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile; or 
  

 30 







 (ii) the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such
Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan
(including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or 
  
 (iii) the Source is either (a) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of PTE 90-1 or (b) a bank collective
investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 and, except as disclosed by such Purchaser to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (iii), no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee

Note or (iii) such other account or accounts in the United States of America as such Purchaser may from time to time designate in writing, notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any Note with respect to the place of payment. Each
Purchaser agrees that, before disposing of any Note, it will make a notation thereon (or on a schedule attached thereto) of all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid. The Company agrees to
afford the benefits of this paragraph 11A to any Transferee which shall have made the same agreement as the Purchasers have made in this paragraph 11A. 
  
 11B. Expenses. 
  
 The Company agrees, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to pay, and save PIM, each Purchaser and any Transferee
harmless against liability for the payment of, all out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with such transactions, including (i) all document production and duplication charges and the fees and expenses of any special counsel engaged by PIM,
the Purchasers or any Transferee in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any subsequent proposed modification of, or proposed consent under, this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents, whether or not such proposed modification shall be effected or proposed consent granted, and (ii) the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by PIM, any Purchaser or any Transferee in enforcing (or
determining whether or how to enforce) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or any other Transaction 
  

 42 







 Document or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection
with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or by reason of PIM, any Purchaser or any Transferee having acquired any Note, including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in any
bankruptcy case. The obligations of the Company under this paragraph 11B shall survive the transfer of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by PIM, any Purchaser or any Transferee and the payment of any Note. 
  
 11C. Consent to Amendments. 
  
 This Agreement may be amended, and any Credit Party or Subsidiary may take
any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, if the Company shall consent thereto and shall obtain the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holder(s) of the
Notes except that, (i) with the written consent of the holders of all Notes of a particular Series, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, of the holders of all Notes of all Series, at the time outstanding (and not
without such written consents), the Notes of such Series may be amended or the provisions thereof waived to change the maturity thereof, to change or affect the principal thereof, to change or affect the rate or time of payment of interest on or any
Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to the Notes of such Series, (ii) without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall change or
affect the provisions of paragraph 7A or this paragraph 11C insofar as such provisions relate to proportions of the principal amount of the Notes of any Series, or the rights of any individual holder of Notes, required with respect to any
declaration of Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any consent, amendment, waiver or declaration, (iii) with the written consent of PIM (and not without the written consent of PIM) the provisions of paragraph 2B may be amended or waived
(except insofar as any such amendment or waiver would affect any rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which shall have become Accepted Shelf Notes prior to such amendment or waiver), and (iv) with the written consent
of Purchasers which shall have become obligated to purchase a majority of the Accepted Shelf Notes of any Series (and not without the written consent of such Purchasers), any of the provisions of paragraphs 2B and 3 may be amended or waived insofar
as such amendment or waiver would affect only rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Accepted Shelf Notes of such Series or the terms and provisions of such Accepted Shelf Notes. Each holder of any Note at the time or
thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this paragraph 11C, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such consent, but any Notes issued thereafter may bear a notation referring to any such consent. No
course of dealing between any of the Credit Parties and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein and in the Notes,
the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. 
  

 43 







 11D. Form, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Lost Notes. 
  
 The Notes are issuable as registered notes without coupons in denominations
of at least $1,000,000, except as may be necessary to reflect any principal amount not evenly divisible by $1,000,000. The Company shall keep at its principal office a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of
transfers of Notes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount,
registered in the name of such transferee or transferees. At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of
the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each
installment of principal payable on each installment date upon each new Note issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new Note as the installment of principal payable on such
date on the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Note. No reference need be made in any such new Note to any installment or installments of principal previously due and paid upon the
Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or
such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or
transferred, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any
such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder’s unsecured indemnity agreement, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in
lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. 
  
 11E.
Persons Deemed Owners; Participations. 
  
 Prior to due
presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on, and any Yield-Maintenance
Amount payable with respect to, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to the preceding sentence and applicable securities
laws and regulations, the holder of any Note may from time to time grant participations in all or any part of such Note to any Person on such terms and conditions as may be determined by such holder in its sole and absolute discretion. 

 

 44 







 11F. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. 
  
 All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or
on behalf of any Credit Party or Purchasers in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, the transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest
therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any Transferee, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any Transferee. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. 
  
 11G. Successors and Assigns. 
  
 All covenants and other agreements in this Agreement contained by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or not. 
  
 11H. Independence of Covenants. 
  
 All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a
particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default
or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists. 
  
 11I. Notices. 
  
 All written communications
provided for hereunder (other than communications provided for under paragraph 2) shall be sent by first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and (i) if to any Purchaser, addressed as specified for such
communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto (in the case of the Series A Notes) or the Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance (in the case of any Shelf Notes) or at such other address as any such
Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, addressed to it at such address as it shall have specified in writing to the Company or, if any such holder shall not have so specified an address,
then addressed to such holder in care of the last holder of such Note which shall have so specified an address to the Company and (iii) if to the Company, addressed to it at 5700 Las Positas Road, Livermore, California 94551, Fax No. 925-453-3333,
Attention: Chief Financial Officer. Any communication pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be made by the method specified for such communication in paragraph 2, and shall be effective to create any rights or obligations under this Agreement only if, in
the case of a telephone communication, an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information and of the party receiving the information are parties to the telephone call, and in the case of a facsimile communication, the communication is
signed by an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information, addressed to the attention of an 
  

 45 







 Authorized Officer of the party receiving the information, and in fact received at the facsimile terminal the number of
which is listed for the party receiving the communication in the Purchaser Schedule or at such other facsimile terminal as the party receiving the information shall have specified in writing to the party sending such information. 
  
 11J. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. 
  
 Anything in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents to
the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or interest on, or Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to, any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If the date
for any payment is extended to the next succeeding Business Day by reason of the preceding sentence, the period of such extension shall not be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Business Day. 
  
 11K. Severability. 
  
 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, it shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, as to such jurisdiction to enhance its enforceability in order to achieve the intent of the parties to this Agreement; provided, if no feasible construction would save the
provision, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, its invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in such jurisdiction
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement; rather, this Agreement shall be construed as to such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The prohibition or unenforceability of
any provision in any such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement as applied to certain circumstances shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision as applied to other circumstances or any other provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 11L. Descriptive Headings. 
  
 The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

  
 11M. Satisfaction Requirement. 
  
 If any agreement, certificate or other writing, or any action taken or to be
taken, is by the terms of this Agreement required to be satisfactory to any Purchaser, to any holder of Notes or to the Required Holder(s), the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by such Purchaser, such holder or the Required
Holder(s), as the case may be, in the sole and exclusive judgment (exercised in good faith) of the Person or Persons making such determination. 
  

 46 







 11N. Governing Law. 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE
INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. 
  
 11O. Severalty of Obligations. 
  
 The sales of Notes to the Purchasers are to be several sales, and the obligations of PIM and the Purchasers under this
Agreement are several obligations. No failure by PIM or any Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither PIM nor any Purchaser shall be
responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other such Person hereunder. 
  
 11P. Counterparts. 
  
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. 
  
 11Q. Binding Agreement. 
  
 When this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company, on the one
hand, and PIM and the Series A Purchasers, on the other hand, it shall become a binding agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and PIM and the Series A Purchasers, on the other hand. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of each
Purchaser which shall have executed and delivered a Confirmation of Acceptance, and each such Purchaser shall be bound by this Agreement to the extent provided in such Confirmation of Acceptance. 
  
 11R. Confidentiality. 
  
 For the purposes of this paragraph 11R, “Confidential
Information” means information delivered to PIM or any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary or
confidential in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by PIM or such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary; provided that such term does not
include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to PIM or such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by PIM or such Purchaser or any Person acting on its
behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to PIM or such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to PIM or such Purchaser under paragraph 5A that are otherwise 

 

 47 







 publicly available. Each of PIM and the Purchasers will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in
accordance with procedures adopted by it in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to it; provided that PIM or such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes) who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance
with the terms of this paragraph 11R, (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 11R, (iii) any other holder of
any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the
provisions of this paragraph 11R), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this
paragraph 11R), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it, (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency, or (viii) any other Person
to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to PIM or such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with
any litigation to which PIM or such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent PIM or such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the
enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under its Notes and the other Transaction Documents. Prior to the disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to clauses (viii)(x) or (viii)(y), PMI or such Purchaser, as the case may
be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall use its best effort to give the Company reasonable advance written notice, by nationwide overnight delivery service (the charges prepaid and with proof of delivery), of the intention to make such
disclosure in order to enable the Company to take whatever action it may deem appropriate to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound
by and to be entitled to the benefits of this paragraph 11R as though it were a party to this Agreement. 
  
 11S. Jury Waiver. 
  
 THE COMPANY, PIM, THE PURCHASERS AND THE OTHER HOLDERS FROM TIME TO TIME OF THE NOTES AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND THE LENDER/BORROWER
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE COMPANY, PIM, THE 
  

 48 







 PURCHASERS AND EACH OF THE OTHER HOLDERS OF NOTES FROM TIME TO TIME EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.
THE COMPANY, PIM, THE PURCHASERS AND EACH OF THE OTHER HOLDERS OF NOTES FROM TIME TO TIME FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS
FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  
 11T. Personal Jurisdiction. 
  
 The Company irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents or any of
the agreements, documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be brought in the courts of the State of California, the State of New York, or the United States of America for the Northern District of California or the Southern
District of New York as PIM, the Purchasers and the other holders from time to time of Notes (as applicable) may elect, and, by execution and delivery hereof, the Company accepts and consents to, for itself and in respect of its property, generally
and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that such jurisdiction shall be exclusive, unless waived by PIM, the Purchasers and the other holders from time to time of Notes (as applicable) in writing, with respect to any
action or proceeding brought by the Company against any Purchaser or any holder of Notes. The Company hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to stay or to dismiss any action or proceeding brought before said courts on the
basis of forum non conveniens.
