PROMISSORY NOTE
(Fixed Rate)
$1,200,000.00                                     October 9, 2001
                                                  Santa Clara, California

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INTERNATIONAL MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE, INC.,
a California corporation ("Borrower"), promises to pay to SILICON VALLEY BANK, a
California banking corporation ("Lender"), or order, at its office at 3003
Tasman Avenue, Santa Clara, California, 95054 or at such other place as Lender
from time-to-time designates in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/lOOTHS
DOLLARS ($1,200,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal amount
hereof from the date hereof, at the Applicable Rate provided below.

This Note is being delivered pursuant to the terms of a Restructure Agreement of
even date herewith executed by Lender, Borrower, and by other parties as
specified therein. The Restructure Agreement modifies the terms of that certain
Loan and Security Agreement ("Loan Agreement") dated November 3, 1999 executed
by Borrower and Lender.

Payment. Borrower will pay this loan in 12 principal payments of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) each. Borrower's first principal payment is due on
the last date of the month on which this Note is executed ("Initial Payment
Date"), and all subsequent principal payments are due on the same day of each
month after that. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all
accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning on the Initial
Payment Date, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of
each month after that. Borrower's final payment will be due twelve months from
the date on which this Note is executed, and will be for all principal and all
accrued interest not yet paid. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable
law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs (including
without limitation attorneys fees) and any late charges, then to any unpaid
interest, and any remaining amount to principal. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

Interest.

Rate. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this
Note will be at a rate of Twelve Percent (12%) per annum from the date hereof.

Computation. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360
basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of
360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.

Prepayment. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early payments of less than the full amount owing under
this Note will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule.
Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in
Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments
marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower
sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights
under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount
owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts,
including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment
constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other
conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be
mailed or delivered to Lender as specified below.

                                      112
<PAGE>
Late Charge. If a payment is 5 days or more late Borrower will be charged 5.000%
of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

Interest After Default. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, at Lender's option, and if permitted by applicable law, Lender may
add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest
therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased
rate). Upon Borrower's failure to pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this
section, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase
the variable interest rate on this Note to six percentage points over the Rate
specified above.

Default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note:

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note, in the Restructure
Agreement in the Loan Agreement or in any of the related documents or to comply
with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any
other agreement between Lender and Borrower; or if an event of default occurs
thereunder.

Guaranty. The revocation or termination of any guaranty of this Note or of the
Loan Agreement.

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to
Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related
documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the
time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going
business, the insolvency of borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part
of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against
any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to
any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
guaranty of the indebtedness.

Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the common stock of Borrower except for the Merger Transaction referred
to in the Restructure Agreement.

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this
Note is impaired.

Lender's Rights. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due and
payable. In addition Lender may enforce its rights under the Loan Agreement and
under any guaranty thereof or hereof.

           The obligations under the SVB Loan Agreement ("SVB Obligations") are
           secured by all assets of IMSI described in said agreement ("Loan
           Collateral").

           Agreement") executed by IMSI dated November 3, 1999 and by the assets
           described therein ("IP Collateral").

           In addition the SVB Obligations are secured by the terms of a Pledge
           Agreement ("Pledge Agreement") executed by IMSI encumbering all
           shares of stock in ArtToday which are owned by IMSI.

    B.     IMSI is obligated to Union Bank of California ("UBOC") pursuant to
           the terms of the First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as
           of April 23, 1999, between IMSI and UBOC, including any promissory
           notes issued thereto and all documents executed in connection
           therewith, as amended and modified (collectively, "UBOC Loan").

           The obligations under the UBOC Loan ("UBOC Obligations") are secured
           by the Loan Collateral. In addition the UBOC Obligations are secured
           by the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement executed
           by IMSI dated November 3, 1999 and by the IP Collateral.

           In addition the UBOC Obligations are secured by the terms of the

           are owned by Borrower.

    C.     UBOC and SVB have entered into an Intercreditor Agreement dated as of

        assessments or other claims which are or may become liens against any
        items of Collateral.

        It will deliver to SVB promptly or ensure that SVB promptly receives (i)
        all Collateral and all proceeds thereof, (ii) such acknowledgments, or
        other agreements or writings as SVB may

<PAGE>
        request relating to the Collateral, and (iii) copies of records and
        other reports relating to the Collateral in such form and detail and at
        such times as SVB may from time to time reasonably require.

        Without prior written notice to SVB, it will not change its name,
        mailing address, its legal structure or the state of its formation.

Pledgor's Representations. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to SVB that:

        It has full and complete marketable title to the Collateral free and
        clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests (except for
        those in favor of SVB and those expressly permitted in writing by SVB).

        It has duly authorized by all necessary action the execution, delivery
        and performance of this Agreement and neither its execution and delivery
        hereof nor its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor
        its compliance with any of the terms and provisions hereof does or will
        require any approval not yet received of its stockholders or any
        approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any of its obligations.

Default.

Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement at the option of SVB.

Breach of or the occurrence of an event of default under the DCDC Subordination
Agreement. SVB fails to have a first priority security interest in any item of
Collateral or such lien shall be challenged by any person or entity.

Any party with a lien on or any interest in any item of Collateral takes action
to enforce such lien or interest.

Any representation or warranty made, or financial statement, certificate or
other document provided, by Pledgor to SVB shall prove to have been false or
misleading.

Pledgor fails to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall file any
petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, creditor composition law, or any other law for the relief of or
relating to debtors; an involuntary petition shall be filed under any bankruptcy
law against Pledgor, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, or other similar official, shall be appointed to take possession,
custody or control of the properties of Pledgor; or the dissolution or
termination of the business of Pledgor.

Any voluntary or involuntary lien(s) of any kind or character attaches to any
item of Collateral.

                                      120
<PAGE>
SVB reasonably determines, in good faith, that its security interest in the
Collateral is materially impaired. Pledgor fails to perform any of its duties or
obligations under this Agreement not specifically referred to in this Section
4.1.

Rights on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:

        SVB shall have all rights and remedies available under contract or
        applicable law, which include those of a secured party under the
        California Uniform Commercial Code, at law, or in equity. Under, or in
        addition to, such remedies SVB shall have the following rights:

                SVB shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral
                (if not then in Bank's possession) with or without the
                appointment of a receiver;

                SVB may collect or enforce any or all of the UBOC Loan Documents
                and any Supporting Obligations and any item of Collateral
                whether or not SVB has foreclosed upon such assets;

                SVB may lease or license any item of Collateral;

                SVB may sell and dispose of any item of Collateral, or any part
                thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or
                on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future
                delivery, and at such price or prices as SVB may deem
                satisfactory. SVB may be the purchaser of any or all of the
                Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is
                of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a
                type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price
                quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same,
                absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind.
                Upon any such sale SVB shall have the right to deliver, assign,
                and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.
                Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so
                sold absolutely, and free from any claim or right of whatsoever
                kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor,
                who or which, to the extent permitted by law, hereby
                specifically waives any now existing or hereafter acquired
                rights of redemption, stay or appraisal.

                SVB shall give Pledgor ten (10) days' written notice of its
                intention to make any such public or private sale or two (2)
                days written notice of a sale at a broker's board or on a
                securities exchange. Such notice, in case of a public sale,
                shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, and, in case
                of sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall
                state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and
                the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof being so
                sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.
                Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
                ordinary business hours and at such place or places as SVB may
                fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral
                may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as
                SVB may determine. SVB shall not be obligated to make any such
                sale pursuant to any such notice. SVB may, without notice or
                publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the
                same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the
                time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at
                any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case
                of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
                for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by
                SVB until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof,
                but SVB shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of
                such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold
                and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be
                sold upon like notice.

                                      121
<PAGE>
                SVB, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred
                upon it, or in addition thereto may proceed by a suit or suits
                at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests herein
                granted and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a
                judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
                jurisdiction. Pledgor hereby agrees that any disposition of
                Collateral by way of a private placement or other method which,
                in the opinion of SVB, is required or advisable under federal
                and state securities laws is commercially reasonable.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds or collections or payments on any
collateral shall be applied first to the reasonable expenses of retaking,
holding, preparing for sale, discharging all liens, selling and the like, then
to the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by SVB, and then
to the DCDC Obligations in such order as SVB may determine. Should the net
proceeds resulting from any such sale or disposition exceed the amount owing to
SVB, SVB shall pay such surplus to the person(s) legally entitled thereto.

Deficiency. Regardless of any foreclosure, any person liable for all or any
portion of the DCDC Obligations shall remain liable for the unsatisfied portion
of such DCDC Obligations, and shall promptly pay the same to SVB immediately and
without demand.

Costs and Expenses.

Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reimburse SVB promptly
for all costs and expenses incurred by SVB in performing any agreement of such
Pledgor which Pledgor shall fail to perform or in taking any other action which
SVB deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of the Collateral
pledged by Pledgor hereunder or SVB's interest therein, which costs and expenses
shall constitute DCDC Obligations under this Agreement.

Pledgor agrees to reimburse SVB promptly upon demand for any expenses SVB may
incur while acting as Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, which expenses shall
constitute IMSI Obligations under this Agreement.

Authorization and Power of Attorney.

Authorized Action by SVB. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints SVB as its
attorney-in-fact to do at any time prior to or subsequent to an Event of Default
hereunder, any act which Pledgor is obligated by this Pledge Agreement to do
(but SVB shall not be obligated to nor shall it incur any liability to Pledgor
or any third parties for failure so to do). In addition, at any time prior to or
subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default, SVB is authorized:

        to make any modifications to any of the UBOC Loan Documents with the
        consent of the obligors thereon;

        to assign any of the UBOC Loan Documents with the assignment of the DCDC
        Subordination Agreement;

        to take and hold additional security for the performance of the
        obligations under the UBOC Loan Documents;

        to endorse, receive, and receipt for all payments, proceeds, and other
        sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the
        Collateral which come into Secured Party's possession;

        to deposit, accept, hold, or apply other property in exchange for the
        Collateral or surrender any item of Collateral to the person who
        provided said item; and

                                      122
<PAGE>
        at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the
        UBOC Loan Documents (the "Defaulted Document"), SVB is authorized to:

        to demand, receive and enforce Debtor's rights with respect to the
        Defaulted Document.

        to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on
        behalf of and in the name of Pledgor and take any action SVB deems
        advisable with respect to the Defaulted Document.

        to deposit all collections or proceeds of the Defaulted Document into an
        interest bearing account in the name of SVB and to hold such account as
        additional collateral under this Pledge Agreement.

        at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
        Pledge Agreement, SVB is authorized:

        to demand, receive and enforce Pledgor's rights with respect to
        the Collateral;

        to enter into any agreement pertaining to the Collateral;

        to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on
        behalf of and in the name of Pledgor and take any action SVB deems
        advisable with respect to the Collateral; and

        to transfer the Collateral to its own name or its nominee's name in
        accordance with applicable law.

        exercise as to the Collateral all the rights, powers and remedies of an
        owner whether or not SVB has foreclosed upon such asset.

The appointment granted herein is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Any third party may rely on representations of SVB that a default exists
hereunder or that the power of attorney hereby granted by Pledgor to SVB is
effective, without further inquiry.

Waivers of Pledgor.

Application of Payments. Notwithstanding the rights given to Pledgor pursuant to
California Civil Code Sections 1479 and 2822 or equivalent provisions in the
laws of the state specified in the governing law clause of this document (and
any amendments or successors thereto), to designate how payments will be
applied, Pledgor hereby waives such rights and SVB shall have the right in its
sole discretion to determine the order and method of the application of payments
received from Pledgor or from the sale or disposition of the Collateral and to
revise such application prospectively or retroactively at its discretion
(notwithstanding any entry by SVB on its books).

Presentment. Pledgor hereby waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, or notice of nonpayment at maturity.

Enforcement. Pledgor hereby waives any right to require SVB (i) to proceed
against any person, (ii) to exhaust any Collateral or (iii) to pursue any remedy
in SVB's power in any order or whatsoever. SVB shall not be required to take any
action to preserve rights against prior parties with respect to any of the
Collateral. Pledgor waives the right to plead any statute of limitations or any
defense to the personal liability of Pledgor as a defense to SVB's exercise of
any right or remedy hereunder.

                                      123
<PAGE>
Subrogation. To the extent Pledgor has any rights of subrogation, until the DCDC
Obligations has been paid or otherwise discharged in full, Pledgor does hereby
waive all rights of subrogation and any right to enforce any remedy which SVB
now has, or may have, and Pledgor does hereby waive any benefit of, and any
right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by SVB. Pledgor
hereby waives any defense it may have now or in the future based on any election
of remedies by SVB which destroys Pledgor's subrogation rights to proceed
against any party for reimbursement, and Pledgor acknowledges that it will be
liable to SVB even though Pledgor may well have no such recourse against said
party.

Release of Third Parties. Pledgor hereby waives any right or defense it may now
or hereafter have based upon (i) SVB's release of any party who may be obligated
to SVB; (ii) SVB's release or impairment of any collateral for the DCDC
Obligations; and (iii) the modification or extension of the DCDC Obligations.

Suretyship Defenses. Pledgor hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses now
or hereafter available to it under the California Civil Code or the California
Uniform Commercial Code.

General Waivers. Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other
provision of this Agreement, Pledgor hereby waives, to the maximum extent such
waiver is permitted by law, any and all benefits or defenses arising directly or
indirectly under any one or more of: (i) California Civil Code Sections 2799,
2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2846, 2847,
2848, 2849, 2850, 2899, and 3433; (ii) Chapter 2 of Title 14 of the California
Civil Code; (iii) California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580c,
580d, and 726; or (iv) California Uniform Commercial Code.

Non-Waiver.

Subject to Section 10.3, SVB may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, waive
an Event of Default, or cure an Event of Default, at Pledgor's expense.

SVB's Duties.

SVB's sole duty with respect to the Collateral in its possession shall be to use
reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof. SVB shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such
Collateral if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which SVB and accords its own property, it being understood that SVB shall not
have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, declining value, tender or other
matters relative to any Collateral, regardless of whether SVB have or are deemed
to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any steps to preserve any
rights against any person with respect to any Collateral. Under no circumstances
shall SVB be responsible for an injury or loss to the Collateral, or any part
thereof, arising from any cause beyond the reasonable control of SVB.

SVB may at any time deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to any Pledgor or
arrange for the delivery thereof and such Pledgor's receipt shall be a complete
and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and SVB shall thereafter
be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

Upon satisfaction of the obligations under the DCDC Subordination Agreement or
payment of all amounts owed to SVB by IMSI, SVB shall release all collateral
hereunder to Pledgor.

General Provisions.

Notices. Any notice given by any party under this Agreement shall be in writing
and personally delivered, deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
or sent by telex or other authenticated message, charges prepaid, and addressed
as follows:

                                      124
<PAGE>
    To Pledgor:                                    To SVB:

    Digital Creative Development Corporation       Silicon Valley Bank
    67 Irving Place North, 4th Floor               160 Spear Street, Suite 360
    New York, New York 10003                       San Francisco, CA  94105
    Attn:  Martin Wade, President & CEO            Attn:  Susan Phillips McGee
    Facsimile:  212-388-9897                       Facsimile:  415-369-0195

Each party may change the address to which notices, requests and other
communications are to be sent by giving written notice of such change to each
other party.

Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor, its permitted
successors, representatives and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of SVB
and its successors, representatives and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor
may not assign or transfer its obligations under this Agreement without

SVB's prior written consent. SVB reserves the right to sell, assign, or transfer
its rights and powers under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without notice
to Pledgor. In that connection, SVB may disclose all documents and information
which SVB now has or hereafter may have relating to this Agreement, Pledgor or
its business.

No Waiver. Any waiver, consent or approval by SVB of any Event of Default or
breach of any provision, condition or covenant of this Agreement must be in
writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. No
waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any later breach or
default of this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of SVB in exercising
any power, right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
shall preclude any further power, right or privilege.

Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies available
under contract or applicable law. The obligations of Pledgor under this
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time any payment of any IMSI Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by SVB upon, on account of, or in connection with, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Pledgor or otherwise, all
as though such payment had not been made.

Unenforceable Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be so only as to such jurisdiction and
only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable.

Waiver of Notice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pledgor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and all other notices and
demands, as well as any applicable statute of limitations.

Indemnification. Pledgor agrees it shall pay and protect, defend and indemnify
SVB and SVB's employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates,
correspondents, agents, attorneys and representatives (other than SVB,
collectively "Agents") against, and hold SVB and each such Agent harmless from,
all claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) and other amounts
incurred by SVB and each such Agent, arising from or related to this Agreement;
provided, however, that this indemnification shall not apply to any of the
foregoing incurred solely as the result of SVB's or any Agent's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. This indemnification shall survive the payment and
satisfaction of all of Pledgor's obligations and liabilities to SVB.

                                      125
<PAGE>
Attorney Fees. Pledgor shall reimburse SVB for all costs and expenses, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (and fees and
disbursements of SVB's in-house counsel) expended or incurred by SVB in any
arbitration, mediation, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in
connection with (a) the negotiation, preparation, amendment, interpretation and
enforcement of this Agreement, including without limitation during any workout,
attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to
SVB's rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, (b) collecting any
sum which becomes due SVB under this Agreement, (c) any proceeding, or any
appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of SVB.
For the purposes of this section, attorneys' fees shall include, without
limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) contempt
proceedings; (2) discovery; (3) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any
kind in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or case arising out of or
relating to any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as the same
shall be in effect from time to time, or any similar law; (4) garnishment, levy,
and any Pledgor and third party examinations; and (5) post-judgment motions and
proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to
collect or enforce any judgment.

Multiple Pledgors. In all cases where there is more than one Pledgor, or when
this Agreement is executed by more than one Pledgor, the term "Pledgor" shall
include each or any Pledgor, and all terms appearing in the singular shall be
deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and construction so
require.

Joint and Several. Should more than one person sign this Agreement as Pledgor,
the obligations of each signer shall be joint and several.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by each Pledgor and SVB as the
final expression of such Pledgor's obligations to SVB in connection with the
Collateral and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements concerning the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by
each Pledgor and accepted by SVB in writing.

Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Legal Matters.

Choice of Law. The validity, terms, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by those laws of the State of California which are
applicable to agreements which are negotiated, executed/delivered and performed
solely in the State of California.

Jurisdiction, Venue, Service of Process. The State and Federal District Courts
located in San Jose, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
any action or proceeding arising out of or related to the negotiation,
execution, delivery, performance, breach or enforcement of this Agreement or any
other agreement, document or instrument negotiated, executed, delivered, entered
into or performed in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby; any waiver, modification, amendment or
termination hereof or thereof or any action taken or omission made by any
Pledgor or SVB or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents
or attorneys in connection with the payment, performance, exercise or
enforcement of any right, duty or obligation created or implied hereby or
thereby or arising hereunder or thereunder, regardless of whether any claim,
counter-claim or defense in any such action, suit or proceeding is characterized
as arising out of fraud, negligence, recklessness, intentional misconduct, a
breach of contract or fiduciary duty, or violation of a statute, law, ordinance,
rule or regulation. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably consent to the
personal jurisdiction of such courts, to such venue and to the service of
process in the manner provided for the giving of notices

                                      126

jurisdiction and venue including those which might be based upon inconvenience
or the nature of the forum.

UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY UNDER THE

AS ARISING OUT OF FRAUD, NEGLIGENCE, RECKLESSNESS, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, A
BREACH OF CONTRACT OR FIDUCIARY DUTY, OR VIOLATION OF A STATUTE, LAW, ORDINANCE,
