Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of
(i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base.  Subject

Business Day.  Bank is authorized to make Advances under this
Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a
designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s
discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due
and remain unpaid.  Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic
notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible
Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank
harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such
reliance.  Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this
Section  to Borrower’s deposit account.

     

    2.2          Overadvances.  If
the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the
Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay
to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.

     

    2.3          Interest Rates, Payments, and
Calculations.

     

    (a)          Interest
Rates.

     

    (i)           Advances.  Except as

Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a
rate equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) above the Prime Rate (the
“Advance Rate”).  In no event, however, shall the Advance Rate be less
than eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, irrespective of the Prime
Rate.

     

    (ii)           Minimum
Interest.  Irrespective of the amount of Advances outstanding
from time to time, Borrower shall pay Bank a minimum interest payment of not
less than Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000) per quarter (the “Minimum Interest
Payment”).  Any payments of interest actually made by Borrower during
each calendar quarter shall be credited to the Minimum Interest Payment required
to be paid for such quarter.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        7.

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)           Late Fee; Default
Rate.  If any payment is not made within ten (10) Business Days
after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to
the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or
(ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable
law.  All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to
five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior
to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

     

    (c)           Payments.  Interest
hereunder shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each month during
the term hereof.  Minimum Interest Payments shall be due and payable
on the last Business Day of each quarter during the term hereof.  Bank
shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Minimum Interest Payments, all
Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit
accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the
Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder.  All payments shall be free and clear of any
taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank
will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless
of source of payment.

     

    (d)           Lockbox.    Immediately
after the Closing, Borrower shall require all account debtors (by, among other
things, instructing the account debtors) to wire any amounts owing to Borrower
to such account (the “Collateral Account”) as Bank shall specify, and to mail
all payments made by check to a post office box under Bank ’s
control.  All invoices shall specify such post office box as the
payment address.  Bank shall have sole authority to collect such
payments and deposit them to the Collateral Account.  If Borrower
receives any amount despite such instructions, Borrower shall immediately
deliver such payment to Bank in the form received, except for an endorsement to
the order of Bank and, pending such delivery, shall hold such payment in trust
for Bank.  One (1) Business Day after clearance of any checks, Bank
shall credit all amounts paid into the Collateral Account first, against any
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line, and then, of any remaining balance
of such amount, to Borrower’s operating account.  Borrower shall enter
into such lockbox agreement as Bank shall reasonably request from time to
time.  Bank will provide reports of invoice entry and payment to
Borrower on each Business Day, and will from time to time deliver a detailed
aging of open invoices upon Borrower’s request.

     

    (e)           Computation.  In the
event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate
of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day
the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime
Rate.  All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year.

     

    2.4          Crediting
Payments.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank
shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such
deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies.  After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time
shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day.  Whenever any payment to Bank
under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of
acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead
be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case
may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension.

     

    2.5          Fees.

     

    (a)           Facility Fee.  On
the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a Facility Fee equal to Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000) which shall be nonrefundable.  Bank
acknowledges receipt of an application fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000),
which is fully earned and non-refundable and which shall not be credited to the
Facility Fee.

     

    (b)           Bank Expenses.  On
the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank all Bank Expenses incurred through
the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and, after
the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank all Bank Expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they are incurred by
Bank.

    2.6          Term.  This
Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to
Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any
Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit
Extensions under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank
shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under
this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding termination,
Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any
Obligations are outstanding.

such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this
Section 3.2.

     

    4.           Creation of
Security Interest.

     

    4.1           Grant of Security
Interest.  Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing
security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising
Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in
order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and
duties under the Loan Documents.  Except as set forth in the Schedule,
such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in
the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority
security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.

     

    4.2           Delivery of Additional Documentation
Required.  Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver
to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing
statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form
satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank’s security
interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the
transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.  Borrower from
time to time may deposit with Bank specific time deposit accounts to secure
specific Obligations. Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge
and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any
other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long
as the Obligations are outstanding.

     

    4.3           Right to
Inspect.  Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or
agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time
during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books
and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in
order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

     

    5.           Representations
and Warranties.

     

    Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:

     

    5.1           Due Organization and
Qualification.  Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation
duly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and qualified and
licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.

     

    5.2           Due Authorization; No
Conflict.  The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan
Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not
in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in
Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an
event of default under any Material Contract to which Borrower is a party or by
which Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default under any
Material Contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

     

    5.3           No Prior
Encumbrances.  Borrower has good and marketable title to its
property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

     

    5.4           Bona Fide Eligible
Accounts.  The Eligible Accounts are bona fide existing
obligations.  The property and services giving rise to such Eligible
Accounts has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or to the account
debtor’s agent for immediate and unconditional acceptance by the account
debtor.  Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent
Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor that is included in Bank’s Factor
SQL system (or in any Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Bank)
as an Eligible Account.

     

    5.5           Merchantable
Inventory.  All Inventory is in all material respects of good
and marketable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for
which adequate reserves have been made and/or obsolete
Inventory.

    
      
         

      

      
        10.

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    5.6           Intellectual Property
Collateral.  Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Borrower to
its customers in the ordinary course of business.  Borrower owns or
licenses or otherwise has the right to use all Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights necessary for the operation of its business as presently
conducted.   As of the date hereof, Borrower has no Intellectual
Property Collateral registered, or subject to pending applications, in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office,
or any similar office or agency in the United States, any State thereof, any
political subdivision thereof or in any other country.  Each of the
Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no
claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral
violates the rights of any third party.  Except as set forth in the
Schedule, Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property do not give
rise to more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue in any given month,
including without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering
or disposition of any product or service.  Except as set forth in the
Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts
the grant by Borrower of a security interest in Borrower’s rights under such
agreement.

     

    5.7           Name; Location of Chief Executive
Office.  Except as disclosed in the Schedule, Borrower has not

address indicated in Section 10 hereof.  All Borrower’s Inventory
and Equipment is located only at the location set forth in Section 10
hereof.

     

    5.8           Litigation.  Except
as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending by or
against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency in
which an adverse decision could have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material
adverse effect on Borrower’s interest or Bank’s security interest in the
Collateral.

     

    5.9           No Material Adverse Change in
Financial Statements.  All consolidated and consolidating
financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that Bank has
received from Borrower fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s
financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and
consolidating results of operations for the period then ended.  There
has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated or the consolidating
financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such
financial statements submitted to Bank.

     

    5.10        Solvency, Payment of
Debts.  Borrower is solvent and able to pay its debts
(including trade debts) as they mature.

     

    5.11        Regulatory
Compliance.  Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject
to ERISA, and no event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply
with ERISA that could result in Borrower’s incurring any material
liability.  Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.  Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one
of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T
and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System).  Borrower has complied with all the provisions of the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act.  Borrower has not violated any statutes,
laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, violation of which could have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Condition.  Except as disclosed in the Schedule, none of
Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has ever been used by
Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous
owners or operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat,
release, or transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in
accordance with applicable law; to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, none of
Borrower’s properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any

hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any
environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental
protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal
property owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the

governmental agency concerning any action or omission by Borrower or any
Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise disposing of hazardous waste
or hazardous substances into the environment.

representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower in any certificate
or written statement furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a

statements contained in such certificates or statements not
misleading.

          15.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      7.11         Compliance.  Become
an “investment company” or be controlled by an “investment company,” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or become principally engaged in,
or undertake as one of its important activities, the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or use the
proceeds of any Credit Extension for such purpose.  Fail to meet the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited
Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur, fail to comply with the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act or violate any law or regulation, which violation could have
a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the
priority of Bank’s Lien on the Collateral, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to
do any of the foregoing.

       

      8.           Events of
Default.

       

      Any one
or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower
under this Agreement:

       

      8.1           Payment Default.  If
Borrower fails to pay (a) any of the principal or interest when due or (b) any
of the other Obligations within ten (10) Business Days of the date due, provided
that no Credit Extensions shall be made during such ten (10) Business Day
period;

       

      8.2           Covenant Default.

       

        (a)           If
Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7,
6.8, or 6.9 if Borrower violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of
this Agreement; or

       

        (b)           If
Borrower fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term,
provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan
Documents, or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank
and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition or covenant
that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within ten days after
Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware
thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured
within the ten day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured
within such ten day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a
reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which
shall not in any case exceed 30 days) to attempt to cure such default, and
within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall
not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be
made.

       

      8.3           Material Adverse
Effect.  If there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that
could have a Material Adverse Effect;

       

      8.4           Attachment.  If any
portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or
distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any
trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment,
seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or
rescinded within ten (10) Business Days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained,
or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any
material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a
lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a
notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any of
Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or
instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental
agency, and the same is not paid within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower
receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an
Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has
been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit
Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

       

      8.5           Insolvency.  If
Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by
Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is
not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days (provided that no Credit
Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency
Proceeding);

      
        
           

        

        
          16.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      8.6           Other
Agreements.  If there is a default or other failure to perform
in any agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound resulting
in a right by a third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate
the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) or which could have a Material Adverse Effect;

       

      8.7           Judgments.  If a
judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in
the aggregate, of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) shall be
rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period
of thirty (30) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to
the satisfaction or stay of such judgment); or

       

      8.8           Misrepresentations.  If
any material misrepresentation or material misstatement exists now or hereafter
in any warranty or representation set forth herein or in any certificate
delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to
induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

       

      8.9           Guaranty.  If any
guaranty of all or a portion of the Obligations (a “Guaranty”) ceases for any
reason to be in full force and effect, or any guarantor fails to perform any
obligation under any Guaranty or a security agreement securing any Guaranty
(collectively, the “Guaranty Documents”), or any event of default occurs under
any Guaranty Document or any guarantor revokes or purports to revoke a Guaranty,
or any material misrepresentation or material misstatement exists now or
hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth in any Guaranty Document
or in any certificate delivered to Bank in connection with any Guaranty
Document, or if any of the circumstances described in Sections 8.3 through 8.8
occur with respect to any guarantor or any guarantor dies or becomes subject to
any criminal prosecution, or any circumstances arise causing Bank, in good
faith, to become insecure as to the satisfaction of any of any guarantor’s
obligations under the Guaranty Documents.

       

      9.           Bank’s
Rights and Remedies.

       

      9.1           Rights and
Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and
without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized
by Borrower:

       

       (a)           Declare
all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable without any action by
Bank);

       

       (b)           Cease
advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

       

       (c)           Settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon
terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers
advisable;

       

       (d)           Make
such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower agrees to
assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral
available to Bank as Bank may designate.  Borrower authorizes Bank to
enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain
possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses
incurred in connection therewith.  With respect to any of Borrower’s
owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession
of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise
any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or
otherwise;

       

       (e)           Set
off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the
credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;

      
        
           

        

        
          17.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

       (f)      
     Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided
for herein) the Collateral.  Bank is hereby granted a license or other
right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use,
without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any property of a similar nature, 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 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;

       

       (g)           Dispose
of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or
on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as
Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the
Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;

       

       (h)           Bank
may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

       

       (i)           Any
deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above
will be paid immediately by Borrower.

       

      9.2           Power of
Attorney.  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank
(and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and
lawful attorney to:  (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or
notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse
Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may
come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and
assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account
debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims
under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle
and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and
(g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the
Collateral.  The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact,
and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is
terminated.

       

      9.3           Accounts
Collection.  At any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such
Account.  Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for
Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver
such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account
debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

       

      9.4           Bank Expenses.  If
Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due
to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to
Borrower:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
(b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or
(c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in
Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such
policies as Bank deems prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by
Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and
shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall
be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Bank shall not
constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

       

      9.5           Bank’s Liability for
Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking
practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible
for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause;
(c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of
any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person
whomsoever.  All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrower.

      
        
           

        

        
          18.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      9.6           Remedies
Cumulative.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative.  Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not
inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in
equity.  No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall
be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Bank shall constitute a
waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver by Bank shall be
effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given.

       

      9.7           Demand;
Protest.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
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 at
any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

       

      10.        Notices.

otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party

      11.        CHOICE OF
LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

       

      This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of
law.  Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa
Clara, State of California.  BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL
OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND
AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT
HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL.

      
        
           

        

        
          19.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      If the
jury waiver set forth in this Section is not enforceable, then any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled by
judicial reference pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq.
before a referee sitting without a jury, such referee to be mutually acceptable
to the parties or, if no agreement is reached, by a referee appointed by the
Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court for Santa Clara
County.  This Section shall not restrict a party from exercising
remedies under the Code or from exercising pre-judgment remedies under
applicable law.  The prevailing party in any proceeding under this
Section 11 shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any award, all costs of
such proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees as determined by the judge
or referee in such proceeding.

       

      12.        General
Provisions.

       

      12.1        Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties;
provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be
assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion.  Bank shall have the
right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate,
or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s
obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.

       

      12.2        Indemnification.  Borrower
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and
agents against:  (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and
liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Bank
Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or in any
way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and
Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for losses caused by
Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

       

      12.3        Time of
Essence.  Time is of the essence for the performance of all
obligations set forth in this Agreement.

       

      12.4        Severability of
Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be
severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

       

      12.5        Amendments in Writing,
Integration.  Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can
be amended or terminated orally.  All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan
Documents.

       

      12.6        Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement.

       

      12.7        Survival.  All
covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank
has any obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower.  The
obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages,
losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until
all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may
be brought against Bank have run.

       

      12.8        Confidentiality.  In
handling any confidential information Bank and all employees and agents of Bank,
including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care
that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same
types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby
received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such
information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in
connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower,
(ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans,
provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in
favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required
by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order,
(iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or
similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may determine in connection
with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.  Confidential
information hereunder shall not include information that
either:  (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or
possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain
after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to
Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such
third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.

      
        
           

        

        
          20.

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    12.9        Patriot Act
Notice.  Bank hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law on October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes
names and addresses and other information that will allow Bank, as applicable,
to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

     

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
