         THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated January 21, 2003, between
SILICON VALLEY BANK ("BANK"), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara,
California 95054, and Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("BORROWER"), whose address is 170 Rose Orchard Way, San Jose, California 95134,
provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay
Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1.       ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

         Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The
term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document.

2.       LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

         2.1      PROMISE TO PAY.

         Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

                  2.1.1    REVOLVING ADVANCES.

                           (a)      Bank will make Advances not exceeding the
Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (i) all amounts for services utilized
under the Cash Management Services Sublimit (as defined in SECTION 2.1.4), and
(ii) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit).

                           (b)      To obtain an Advance, Borrower must follow
the procedures set forth in SECTION 3.3(a).

                           (c)      The Bank's obligation to make Credit
Extensions terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are
immediately payable.

                           (d)      Bank's obligation to make Credit Extensions
will terminate if an Event of Default (as herein defined) has occurred or there
exists any event, condition, or act which with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default.

                  2.1.2    LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT.

                  Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for
Borrower's account not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of
(a) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances, and (b) the Cash
Management Services Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of
no later than eighteen (18) months after the Revolving Maturity Date, and
Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be fully secured by cash on terms
acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of
this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further
documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably
request.

                                       1.
<PAGE>

                  2.1.3    FX FORWARD CONTRACTS.

                  Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with the
Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount
of foreign currency on a specified date (the "SETTLEMENT DATE"). Foreign
exchange contracts with a Settlement Date of two (2) or more business days (as
applicable in the country of the contract foreign currency) after the contract
date (each, a "FX Forward Contract") are subject to a reserve of ten percent
(10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount
equal to $2,000,000 (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.

                  2.1.4    CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES SUBLIMIT.

                  Borrower may use amounts not to exceed the Committed Revolving
Line minus the sum of (a) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
(including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (b) the outstanding
principal balance of the Advances (without duplication for any drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit) for Bank's cash management services, which may
include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and
check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements
related to such services (collectively, the "CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES"). The
aggregate amount utilized for Cash Management Services (the "CASH MANAGEMENT
SERVICES SUBLIMIT") will at all times reduce the amounts available to be
borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line or otherwise available for Letters
of Credit under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of
Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management
Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will
accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

         2.2      OVERADVANCES.

         If Borrower's aggregated Obligations under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and
2.1.3 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank
the excess.

         2.3      GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE ADVANCES.

         Each Advance shall, at Borrower's option in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, be either in the form of a Prime Rate Advance or a LIBOR
Advance; provided that in no event shall Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR
Advances having more than two (2) different Interest Periods. Borrower shall pay
interest accrued on the Advances at the rates and in the manner set forth in
SECTION 2.5(a). Amounts borrowed by Borrower under the Committed Revolving Line
may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, and subject to the
applicable terms and conditions precedent in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3,
reborrowed.

         2.4      PERMITTED USES OF ADVANCE PROCEEDS.

         The Advances shall be used solely for working capital and other general
business requirements of Borrower.

                                       2.

         2.5      INTEREST RATE, PAYMENTS.

                           (a)      INTEREST RATE. Each Advance shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made,
continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate or Adjusted LIBOR, as the case may be. After an Event of Default occurs and
so long as such Event of Default continues, including after an acceleration of
the Obligations pursuant to SECTION 9.1(a) (whether before or after entry of
judgment to the extent permitted by law), Obligations shall accrue interest at
five (5) percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of
Default; provided, however, that on and after the expiration of any Interest
Period applicable to any LIBOR Advance outstanding on the date of occurrence of
such Event of Default or acceleration, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR
Advance shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after
acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus
five (5) percent. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in
this SECTION 2.5(a) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall
not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit
any rights or remedies of Bank.

                           (b)      PAYMENTS. Pursuant to the terms of SECTION
3.7, interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Advance
pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon
payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest
on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date.

                           (c)      LIMITATIONS ON INTEREST RATES.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest
rate laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and
other charges made hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents are held to be
in excess of the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state
law, the amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal
under the Advances and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall be reduced by
such amount in the inverse order of maturity so that the total liability for
payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall
not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state
interest rate laws.

                           (d)      GENERAL PROVISIONS. Bank may debit any of
Borrower's deposit accounts including Account Number 3300389009 (the "DESIGNATED
DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts
Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's
accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 p.m.
(Pacific time) are considered received at the opening of business on the next
Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

                                       3.

         2.6      FEES.

                  Borrower will pay:

                           (a)      SET-UP FEE. On the Closing Date, a fully
earned, non-refundable set-up fee equal to .45% of the Committed Revolving Line
(the "SET-UP FEE").

                           (b)      LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Upon the issuance of a
Letter of Credit, a fully earned, non-refundable Letter of Credit fee equal to
..75% per annum of the face amount of the issued Letter of Credit.

                           (c)      BANK EXPENSES. All Bank Expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after
the date of this Agreement when due.

3.       CONDITIONS OF ADVANCES

         3.1      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION.

         3.2      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL CREDIT EXTENSIONS.

         Bank's obligation to make each Credit Extension, including the initial
Credit Extension, is subject to the condition precedent that the following shall
have been satisfied, all in form and substance satisfactory to Bank:

                           (a)      timely receipt of a Notice of Borrowing;

                           (b)      unless otherwise waived by Bank, the Control

                           (c)      the representations and warranties in
SECTION 5 must be true on the date of the Notice of Borrowing and on the Funding
Date or the date any other Credit Extension is made, and no Event of Default may

Extension is Borrower's representation and warranty on that date that the
representations and warranties of SECTION 5 remain true.

         3.3      PROCEDURE FOR THE BORROWING OF ADVANCES.

                           (a)      Subject to the prior satisfaction of all
other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this
Agreement, including SECTION 3.1 and SECTION 3.2 for Advances made on the
Closing Date and SECTION 3.2 for all Advances, each Advance shall be made upon
Borrower's irrevocable written notice delivered to Bank in the form of a Notice
of Borrowing, each executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or his or her
designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given
by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower
will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance. Such Notice
of Borrowing must be received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time), (i) at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case
of LIBOR Advances, and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested
Funding Date, in the case of Prime Rate Advances, specifying:

                                    (i)      the amount of the Advance, which,
if a LIBOR Advance is requested, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal
amount of $1,000,000 or in any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof;

                                    (ii)     the requested Funding Date, which
shall be a Business Day;

                                    (iii)    whether the Advance is to be
comprised of LIBOR Advances or Prime Rate Advances; and

                                    (iv)     the duration of the Interest Period
applicable to any such LIBOR Advances included in such notice; provided that if
the Notice of Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest
Period for any Advance comprised of LIBOR Advances, such Interest Period shall
be one (1) month.

                           (b)      The proceeds of all such Advances will then
be made available to Borrower on the Funding Date by Bank by transfer to the
Designated Deposit Account and,

                                       5.

subsequently, by wire transfer to such other account as Borrower may instruct in
the Notice of Borrowing. No Advances shall be deemed made to Borrower, and no
interest shall accrue on any such Advance, until the related funds have been
deposited in the Designated Deposit Account.

         3.4      CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION ELECTIONS.

                           (a)      So long as (1) no Event of Default or event
which with notice, passage of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default
exists; (2) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this
Agreement; and (3) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures
as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower's requests for LIBOR
Advances, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:

                                    (i)      elect to convert on any Business
Day, Prime Rate Advances in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into LIBOR Advances;

                                    (ii)     elect to continue on any Interest
Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any
part thereof in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided, that if the aggregate amount of LIBOR
Advances shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part
thereof, to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Advances shall automatically
convert into Prime Rate Advances, and on and after such date the right of
Borrower to continue such Advances as, and convert such Advances into, LIBOR
Advances shall terminate; or

                                    (iii)    elect to convert on any Interest
Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any
part thereof in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Prime Rate Advances.

                           (b)      Borrower shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10 to be received by Bank
prior to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least (i) three (3) Business Days in
advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Advances are to be
converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances; and (ii) one (1) Business Day in
advance of the Conversion Date, if any Advances are to be converted into Prime
Rate Advances, in each case specifying:

                                    (i)      the proposed Conversion Date or
Continuation Date;

                                    (ii)     the aggregate amount of the
Advances to be converted or continued which, if any Advances are to be converted
into or continued as LIBOR Advances, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal
amount of $1,000,000 or in any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof;

                                    (iii)    the nature of the proposed
conversion or continuation; and

                                    (iv)     the duration of the requested
Interest Period.

                                       6.
<PAGE>

                           (c)      If upon the expiration of any Interest
Period applicable to any LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall have timely failed to
select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Advances, Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate
Advances.

                           (d)      Any LIBOR Advances shall, at Bank's option,
convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event that (i) an Event of Default, or
event which with notice, the passage of time, or both would constitute an Event
of Default, shall exist, (ii) the Agreement shall terminate, or (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Advances which have been previously
converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR
Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period
shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Committed Revolving
Line. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its
option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower
maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a
result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to
any of the foregoing.

                           (e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar
deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund
any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if
Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Advances.

         3.5      SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING LIBOR ADVANCES.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances as to the
matters covered:

                           (a)      DETERMINATION OF APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE.
As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall
apply to the LIBOR Advances for which an interest rate is then being determined
for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in
writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.

                           (b)      INABILITY TO DETERMINE APPLICABLE INTEREST
RATE. In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate
Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, that by reason of
circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Advance on the
basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give
notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of
such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as, or converted to,
LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Advances in
respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by
Borrower.

                                       7.
<PAGE>

                           (c)      COMPENSATION FOR BREAKAGE OR
NON-COMMENCEMENT OF INTEREST PERIODS. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon
written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of
computing such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds
borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Advances and any loss, expense or
liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment
of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to
illegality or impracticability under Section 3.6(d)) a borrowing or a conversion
to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance does not occur on a date specified in a
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be,
or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Advances
occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that
Advance.

                           (d)      ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUNDING OF LIBOR
ADVANCES. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this SECTION 3.5 and
under SECTION 3.3 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its
relevant LIBOR Advances through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing
interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an
amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Advance and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may
fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing
assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts
payable under this SECTION 3.5 and under SECTION 3.3.

                           (e)      LIBOR ADVANCES AFTER DEFAULT. After the
occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower
may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a
LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for
such Advance and (ii) subject to the provisions of SECTION 3.5(c), any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested
conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be
rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances
referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.

         3.6      ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS/PROVISIONS REGARDING LIBOR ADVANCES.

                           (a)      If for any reason (including voluntary or
mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the
principal amount of a LIBOR Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period
for such Advance, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower's account officer
at Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the
additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had
it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the
interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so
received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency
markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for
a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last
day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its
reasonable discretion. Bank's determination as to such amount shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

                           (b)      Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by
Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to
compensate it for any costs

                                       8.
<PAGE>

incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any
Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts
receivable being herein called "ADDITIONAL COSTS"), in each case resulting from
any Regulatory Change which:

                                    (i)      changes the basis of taxation of
any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Advances
(other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net
income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);

                                    (ii)     imposes or modifies any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including
any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or

                                    (iii)    imposes any other condition
affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

         Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date
which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this SECTION 3.6 as promptly
as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the
basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this SECTION
3.6. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this SECTION 3.6 of
the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations
to make Advances, of making or maintaining Advances, or on amounts receivable by
it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate
Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

                           (c)      If Bank shall determine that the adoption or
implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity
controlling Bank (a "PARENT") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time
to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such
reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.6(c)
and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                           (d)      If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and
absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Advances for
periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in
the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not

                                       9.
<PAGE>

accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Advances, then Bank
shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice,
Bank's obligation to make the LIBOR Advances shall terminate; provided, however,
Advances shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a
different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances.

                           (e)      If it shall become unlawful for Bank to
continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances, or to perform its obligations
hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in full with
accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
(including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such
prepayment pursuant to SECTION 3.6(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance
then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice
of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the
provisions of SECTION 3.5(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives
notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or
to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances
by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank
of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination
as described above.

         3.7      CALCULATION OF INTEREST AND FEES.

         Interest on the Advances and all fees payable hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in
the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any
Advance, the date of the making of such Advance shall be included and the date
of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Advance is repaid
on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing
interest on such Advance.

                           (a)      PRIME RATE ADVANCES. Each change in the
interest rate of the Prime Rate Advances based on changes in the Prime Rate
shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of
such change. Bank shall give Borrower prompt notice of any such change in the
Prime Rate; provided, however, that any failure by Bank to provide Borrower with
notice hereunder shall not affect Bank's right to make changes in the interest
rate of the Prime Rate Advances based on changes in the Prime Rate. Interest on
Prime Rate Advances is payable monthly by debit to the Designated Deposit
Account on each Interest Payment Date. Bank shall provide Borrower a statement
of interest four (4) days prior to each Interest Payment Date applicable to
Prime Rate Advances.

                           (b)      LIBOR ADVANCES. The interest rate applicable
to each LIBOR Advance shall be determined in accordance with SECTION 3.5(a)
hereunder. Subject to SECTIONS 3.5 and 3.6, such rate shall apply during the
entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest calculated
thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR
Advance.

                                      10.

         Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently
existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance
of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted
Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the
Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest
in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.

         4.2      AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS.

         Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice
to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems necessary, in
order to protect or perfect Bank's security interest in the Collateral.

5.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

         5.1      DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION.

         Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in
its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of
property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

         The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor
constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is
bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is
bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.

         5.2      COLLATERAL.

         Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except
Permitted Liens. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and
marketable quality, free from material defects.

         5.3      LITIGATION.

         Except as shown in the Disclosure Schedule, there are no actions or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers,
threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

                                       11.
<PAGE>

         5.4      NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         All consolidated financial statements for Borrower delivered to Bank
fairly present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial
condition and Borrower's consolidated results of operations. There has not been
any material deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since
the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

         5.5      SOLVENCY.

         The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is
not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this
Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they
mature.

         5.6      REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

         Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged
as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under
Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has
complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or
any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in
disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance
other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has generally timely filed all
(a) required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all
material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate
reserves under GAAP and where failure to do so could cause an Event of Default,
and (b) filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Borrower and
each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made
all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government
authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted,
except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change.

         5.7      SUBSIDIARIES; INVESTMENTS.

         Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity
securities except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

         5.8      FULL DISCLOSURE.

         No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in
any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such
written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading. Bank
recognizes that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith
and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts
may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

could have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations or
would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

request. Insurance policies will be in a form, with companies, and in amounts
that are satisfactory to Bank in Bank's reasonable discretion. At Bank's
request, Borrower will deliver certificates of insurance showing the Bank as an
additional insured, as applicable, and that the Bank will be provided at least
twenty (20) days notice of cancellation of any policy. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any policy will, at
Bank's option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

         6.6      DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS.

         Borrower will maintain a depository account or accounts with Bank, one

         6.8      FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         Borrower will execute any further instruments and take further action

judgment is stayed or satisfied); or

         8.8      MISREPRESENTATIONS.

or demand, do any or all of the following:

                           (a)      Declare all Obligations immediately due and
payable (but if an Event of Default described in SECTION 8.5 occurs, all
Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

                           (b)      Stop advancing money or extending credit for
Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;

                                       17.
<PAGE>

                           (c)      Make any payments and do any acts it
considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the
Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it
available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is
located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay,
purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior
to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a
license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any
of Bank's rights or remedies;

                           (d)      Request that Borrower provide cash in an
amount equal to the amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit to serve as
collateral for such Letters of Credit;

                           (e)      Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances
and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or
for the credit or the account of Borrower;

                           (f)      Terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

                           (g)      Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish,
maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.
Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use,
without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of
use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and
advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in
completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and,
in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit;
and

                           (h)      Dispose of the Collateral according to the
Code.

         9.2      POWER OF ATTORNEY.

         Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse Borrower's name
on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on
any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors,
(c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (d)
settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (e) transfer
the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank
may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents
necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in the
Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's
appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates.

         9.3      BANK EXPENSES.

         If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in SECTION 6.5 and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then

                                       18.
<PAGE>

applicable Prime Rate. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make
similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

         9.4      BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.

         If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is
not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to
the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any
act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower
bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

         9.5      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

         Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or
remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a
continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No
waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the
specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

         9.6      DEMAND WAIVER.

         Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is
liable.

related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an

this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party

11.      CHOICE OF LAW , VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

         California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles
of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California.

BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
