RECITALS

     Borrowers and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of September 25, 2003, as amended, including without limitation by
that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
December 12, 2003, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of May 27, 2004, that certain Third Amendment to Loan Documents dated

as of September 30, 2004 (collectively, the “Agreement”) and that certain LIBOR
Addendum to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 25, 2003 (the
“LIBOR Addendum”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance
with the terms of this Amendment.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1. The following defined terms in Section 1.1 of the Agreement are hereby
added or amended to read as follows:

               “Borrowing
Base” means an amount equal to $15,000,000 plus
eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts, as determined by Bank
with reference to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate
delivered by Borrowers.

               “Eligible Accounts” means those net billed trade Accounts
that arise in the ordinary course of a Borrower’s business that
comply with all of such Borrower’s representations and warranties
to Bank set forth in Section 5.4 (it being recognized that
pre-billed Accounts do not comply with such representations);
provided, that standards of eligibility may be fixed and revised
from time to time by Bank in Bank’s reasonable judgment and upon
notification thereof to Borrowers in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Unless otherwise agreed to by Bank, Eligible
Accounts shall not include the following:

               (a) Accounts that the account debtor has failed to pay within
ninety (90) days of invoice date;

               (b) Accounts with respect to an account debtor, twenty-five
percent (25%) of whose Accounts the account debtor has failed to
pay within ninety (90) days of invoice date;

               (c) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor is an
officer, employee, or agent of a Borrower;

               (d) Accounts with respect to which goods are placed on
consignment, guaranteed sale, sale or return, sale on approval,
bill and hold, or other terms by reason of which the payment by
the account debtor may be conditional;

               (e) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor is an
Affiliate of a Borrower;

1

 

               (f) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor does
not have its principal place of business in the United States,
except for Eligible Foreign Accounts;

               (g) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States or any department, agency, or instrumentality of the
United States, except for Accounts of the United States if the
payee has assigned its payment rights to Bank and the assignment
has been acknowledged under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940
(31 U.S.C. 3727);

               (h) Accounts with respect to which a Borrower is liable to
the account debtor for goods sold or services rendered by the
account debtor to such Borrower or for deposits or other property
of the account debtor held by such Borrower, but only to the
extent of any amounts owing to the account debtor against amounts
owed to such Borrower, provided that, unless otherwise agreed to
by Bank in writing, instead of deducting unapplied cash and
customer deposits from Eligible Accounts, a reserve of $943,000
for unapplied cash and $1,199,000 for customer deposits shall
permanently be deducted from Eligible Accounts (which reserve may
be changed by Bank based on the results of a Collateral audit);

               (i) Accounts with respect to an account debtor, including
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, whose total obligations to Borrowers
exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of all Accounts, to the extent
such obligations exceed the aforementioned percentage, except as
approved in writing by Bank;

               (j) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor
disputes liability or makes any claim with respect thereto as to
which Bank believes, in its sole discretion, that there may be a
basis for dispute (but only to the extent of the amount subject to
such dispute or claim), or is subject to any Insolvency
Proceeding, or becomes insolvent, or goes out of business;

               (k) Credit balances over ninety (90) days from invoice date;
and

               (l) Accounts the collection of which Bank reasonably
determines to be doubtful.

               “Eligible Foreign Accounts” means Accounts with respect to
which the account debtor does not have its principal place of
business in the United States and that (i) are supported by one or
more letters of credit or credit insurance in an amount and of a
tenor, and issued by a financial institution, acceptable to Bank,
or (ii) that Bank approves on a case-by-case basis.

     2. Section 2.3(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

                    (i) Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the
Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance
thereof, at a rate equal to the Prime Rate.

     3. A new Section 2.8 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as follows:

          2.8. Lockbox.

               (a) Effective as of April 11, 2005 and at all times
thereafter, Borrowers shall maintain an account at Bank (the “Lock
Box Account”) into which all funds received by a Borrower from any
source shall immediately be deposited. Borrowers shall direct all
customers to mail or deliver all checks or other forms of payment
for amounts owing to a Borrower to a post office box designated by
Bank, over which Bank shall have exclusive and unrestricted
access. Bank shall collect the mail delivered to such post office
box, open such mail, and endorse and credit all items to the Lock
Box Account. Borrowers shall direct all customers or other
persons owing money to a Borrower who make payments by electronic
transfer of funds to wire such

2

 

funds directly to the Lock Box Account. Borrowers shall hold
in trust for Bank all amounts that a Borrower receives despite the
directions to make payments to the post office box or Lock Box
Account, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their
original form as received from the customer, with proper
endorsements for deposit into the Lock Box Account. Each Borrower
irrevocably authorizes Bank to transfer to the Lock Box Account
any funds that have been deposited into any other accounts or that
Bank has received by wire transfer, check, cash, or otherwise. No
Borrower shall establish or maintain any accounts with any Person
other than Bank except for accounts opened in the ordinary course
of business from which all funds are transferred on a daily basis
to the Lock Box Account. Bank shall have all right, title and
interest in all of the items from time to time in the Lock Box
Account and their proceeds. Neither Borrowers nor any person
claiming through a Borrower shall have any right or control over
the use of, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Lock Box
Account, which shall be under the sole control of Bank.

               (b) Bank may apply amounts held in the Lock Box Account to
the outstanding balance of the Obligations on a daily basis.
Borrowers shall open an operating account or operating accounts at
Bank (collectively, the “Operating Account”), and any remaining
balance in the Lock Box Account shall be transferred by Bank to
the Operating Account. Bank may from time to time in its
discretion make Advances to Borrowers to cover checks or other
items or charges which a Borrower has drawn or made against such
Operating Account or to cause payment of principal, interest,
fees, or other charges due and payable by Borrowers under the Loan
Documents. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and
authorizes Bank to make such Advances from time to time by means
of appropriate entries of credits to the Operating Account
sufficient to cover any such checks, items, and other charges then
presented. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the making of
such Advances pursuant to this Section shall, in each case, be
subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement,
including without limitation the applicable conditions precedent
to each Advance contained in this Agreement as if each of such
Advances were covered by a Payment/ Advance Form signed or
otherwise approved by Borrowers. Borrowers absolutely and
unconditionally understand and agree that each Advance so made
pursuant to this Section by entry of credits to the Operating
Account or otherwise shall, for all purposes of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, be treated as and deemed to be an
Advance made directly to a Borrower.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension of
up to $15,000,000 until such time as Borrower has set up a Lockbox
in accordance with this Section.

     4. The second paragraph of Section 6.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

               Within twenty (20) days after the last day of each month and
with each request for a Credit Extension which brings the
aggregate outstanding balance of all Credit Extensions to an
amount in excess of $15,000,000, Borrowers shall deliver to Bank a
Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, together with aged
listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable, provided
that such reporting shall be delivered on a weekly basis at any
time that the aggregate balance of all outstanding Credit
Extensions is in excess of $15,000,000.

     5. Section 6.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

          6.8 Current Ratio. Borrowers shall maintain at all times a
ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities plus, to the extent
not already included therein, all Indebtedness (including without
limitation any Contingent Obligations) owing from Borrowers to
Bank, less deferred revenue, of at least 1.00 to 1.00.

     6. New Sections 6.11, 6.12, 6.13, and 6.14 are hereby added to the
Agreement to read as follows:

3

 

          6.11 Consultant Utilization. Borrowers’ Consultant
Utilization (salaried and hourly) shall be equal to or greater
than 85% at all times. As used herein, “Consultant Utilization”
means (a) all hours billed by Borrower to a client for consulting
work divided by (b) all hours billed to Borrower by an hourly
consultant or worked by Borrower’s salaried employees which
perform consulting services.

          6.12 EBITDA. Beginning May 31, 2005 and as of the last day
of each month thereafter, Borrowers’ monthly EBITDA shall be at
least $50,000 for one of the two months immediately preceding each
date of measurement.

          6.13 Net Profit. Borrowers’ net profit for the month ending
October 31, 2005 shall be at least One Dollar ($1.00). Borrowers’
net profit for the two months ending November 30, 2005 shall be at
least One Dollar ($1.00). As of the month ending December 31,
2005, and as of the last day of each month thereafter, Borrowers’
net profit for the three months immediately preceding each date of
measurement shall be at least One Dollar ($1.00).

          6.14 Net Loss. As of March 31, 2005 and as of the last day
of each month thereafter, Borrowers’ trailing three month net loss
plus taxes shall not be greater than ($750,000).

          Borrowers shall only be required to comply with Sections 6.8,
6.11, 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14 (the “Financial Covenants”) when the
aggregate balance of the outstanding Credit Extensions is in
excess of $15,000,000. It shall be a condition precedent to
Borrowers’ request of any Credit Extension which would bring the
aggregate balance of the outstanding Credit Extensions in excess
of $15,000,000 that Borrowers be in compliance with the Financial
Covenants on the date of such request and on a pro forma basis for
the month ended immediately prior to such request. Borrowers
shall have the ability to cure any failure to comply with a
Financial Covenant by immediately repaying such Credit Extensions
as are necessary to bring the aggregate balance of the outstanding
Credit Extensions to an amount which is $15,000,000 or less,
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by Bank in writing,
thereafter, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension of up
to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

          The calculation of all Financial Covenants shall exclude the
impact of noncash stock compensation expenses.

     7. Exhibit C to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety by Exhibit C attached hereto.

     8. Exhibit D to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety by Exhibit D attached hereto.

     9. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this
Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended
hereby, shall be and remains in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as
expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this
Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right,
power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date
hereof. Each Borrower ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of
all promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of
trust, environmental agreements, and all other instruments, documents and
agreements entered into in connection with the Agreement.

     10. Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions originally provided
by Borrowers to Bank in connection with the Agreement and the updated Schedule
of Exceptions provided by Borrowers to Bank in connection with this Amendment,
each Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties
contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this
Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4

 

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

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

               (a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrowers;

               (b) Affirmation of Subordination;

               (c) two Amendment and Affirmation of Guaranties;

               (d) an amount equal to all Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this

may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

August 12, 2002 (‘Original Loan Agreement”).

     B. Borrower has asked Bank to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement as provided

may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all
Advances under this Section 2.1(b), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be

                    (ii) Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission
or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be

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

               (d) Letters of Credit.

                    (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to issue, or cause to
be issued, letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit,” and
collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) in an aggregate outstanding face amount not to exceed the
amount of Advances available under Section 2.1(b)(i) at the time of any such issuance. All Letters
of Credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s form of standard application and letter of credit
agreement. Any Letter of Credit outstanding upon termination of this Agreement for any reason
shall become cash secured, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, prior to the release of any
collateral hereunder by Bank.  On any drawn but unreimbursed Letter of Credit, the
unreimbursed amount shall be deemed an Advance under Section 2.1(b).

                    (ii) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters
of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances
whatsoever. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Bank harmless from any loss, cost,
expense or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or
in connection with any Letters of Credit, except for expenses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

          2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances
exceeds (a) the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) the greater of the Borrowing
Base or $1,000,000, minus (b) the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.

          2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

               (a) Interest Rate.

                    (i) Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear
interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to one percent (1.0%) above the
Prime Rate.

                    (ii) Equipment Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), (A) the Standard
Equipment Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal
to one and one-half percent (1.5%) above the Prime Rate, and (B) the Software Advances shall bear
interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to two percent (2.0%) above the
Prime Rate.

               (b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) 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.

Page 3

 

               (c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the 14th day of each
month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses,
and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Committed
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.

               (d) 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 for the actual number of days elapsed.

          2.4 Crediting Payments. Except when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment to such
deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. When an Event of Default, has occurred and is
continuing, 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 Fees.

                    (i) A Facility Fee equal to Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) was paid to Bank

nonrefundable and the receipt of which the Bank acknowledges.

                    (ii) Borrower shall pay to Bank a Facility Fee equal to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) for the
commitment made in Section 2.1(c), which shall be nonrefundable and the receipt of which the Bank
acknowledges.

                    (iii) Borrower shall pay to Bank a Non-Use Fee equal to (A) one tenth of one percent (0.10%)
on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the period from the date hereof through June
14, 2003 and payable on June 14, 2003, and (B) one tenth of one percent (0.10%) on the unused
portion of the Revolving Facility during the period from June 15, 2003 through the Revolving
Maturity Date and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date.

               (b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the
Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and, after the Closing Date, all
Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
Such expenses shall specifically include fees incurred for any audit of the Collateral and/or the
Accounts Receivable.

          2.6 Additional Costs. In case of any change after the date hereof to any law,
regulation, treaty or official directive, or the interpretation or application thereof by any court
or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or the compliance with any
guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the
force of law):

Page 4

 

               (a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other
amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America
or any political subdivision thereof);

               (b) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by,
Bank; or

               (c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to its performance under this
Agreement,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce the income
receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to the Obligations, Bank shall
notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the amount of such increase in cost,
reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred
or determined, upon presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank’s
calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct
absent manifest error.

          2.7 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

          4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, Borrower has
granted and pledged, to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral, and Borrower hereby continues and confirms such grant and pledge,
to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and 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, and will continue to constitute, 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. Notwithstanding any termination,
Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are
outstanding.

          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

consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business
hours but no more than once every six months (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is

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, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Effect.

          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 agreement by which Borrower
is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which it is bound, which default could
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.3 Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens,
except for Permitted Liens. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide existing obligations. The
property giving rise to such Eligible Accounts has been delivered to the account debtor or its
agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has
not received notice of actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose
accounts are included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account. All

Page 6

 

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.

          5.4 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. Each of the registered Copyrights, Trademarks and 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. Borrower’s rights as a licensee of
intellectual property has not given rise to more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue over

licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service to the extent attributable to
Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property.

          5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule,
Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page
hereof. The chief executive office of Borrower is located at the address indicated in Section 10
hereof or such other location as Borrower may notify Bank in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.2.

          5.6 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.

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

          5.8 Solvency, Payment of Debts. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade
debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is not left with
unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          5.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA.
No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably
likely to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect.
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 in all material respects 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 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

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

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 manner pursuant to
any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or 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 Environmental Protection Agency or any other
federal, state or other governmental agency concerning any action or

Page 7

 

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

          5.11 Taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax
returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of,
all taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under
GAAP.

partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.

          5.13 Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to,
all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business

Effect.

          5.14 Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule and except for
commercially available off-the-shelf software licenses, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound
by, any license or similar agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a
security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property.

          5.15 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower
in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
in such certificates or statements not misleading.

     6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

     Borrower covenants that, until payment in full of all outstanding Obligations, and for so long
as Bank may have any commitment to make a Credit Extension hereunder, Borrower shall do all of the
following:

          6.1 Good Standing and Government Compliance. Borrower shall maintain its and each of
its Subsidiaries’ corporate existence in its jurisdiction of incorporation and maintain
qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could have a Material Adverse
Effect. Borrower shall meet, and shall cause each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding
requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower shall

Intellectual Property Collateral, including, but not limited to, any subsequent ownership right of
Borrower in or to any Trademark, Patent or Copyright not specified in Exhibits A,
B, and C of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement delivered to Bank by
Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

               (a) Within twenty (20) days after the last day of each month so long as any amounts remain
outstanding under Section 2.1(b), Borrower shall deliver to Bank a Borrowing Base Certificate

outstanding under the Committed Revolving Line.

               (b) Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Bank,

more often than every six (6) months, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

               (d) Within five (5) days after the last day of each quarter, Borrower shall deliver to Bank

the Closing Date. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all returns and recoveries and of all
disputes and claims involving more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

          6.4 Taxes. Borrower shall make, and shall cause each Subsidiary to make, due and
timely payment or deposit of all material federal, state, and local taxes, assessments, or
contributions required of it by law, and will execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate

each Subsidiary to make, timely payment or deposit of all material tax payments and withholding
taxes required of it by applicable laws, including, but not limited to, those laws concerning
F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon
request, furnish Bank with proof satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower or a Subsidiary has
made such payments or deposits; provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary need not make any
payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower.

          6.5 Insurance.

               (a) Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by
fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as
ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where
Borrower’s business is conducted on the date hereof. Borrower shall also maintain liability and
other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to Borrower’s.

               (b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such
amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a
lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional
loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional insured and
specify that the insurer must give at least twenty (20) days notice to Bank before canceling its
policy for any reason. Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to

Page 9

 

Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. All

account of the Obligations.

          6.6 Primary Depository. Borrower shall maintain its primary depository and operating
accounts with Bank.

          6.7 Financial Covenants. Borrower shall maintain, as of the last day of each calendar
month, unless stated otherwise:

               (a) Liquidity Ratio. (i) Except as provided in (ii), a ratio of unrestricted cash and
equivalents plus fifty percent (50%) of net billed accounts receivable to all Indebtedness to Bank
and the face amount of all outstanding letters of credit of at least 1.75 to 1.00. (ii) After June
30, 2003 and if there is no violation of the covenant set forth in Section 6.7(b), a ratio of
unrestricted cash and equivalents plus fifty percent (50%) of net billed accounts receivable to all
Indebtedness to Bank and the face amount of all outstanding letters of credit of at least 1.60 to
1.00.

               (b) Minimum New Contracts. During each quarter, the Borrower shall enter into New
Contracts having an aggregate contractual value of not less than the following: (i) for the
calendar quarter ended March 31, 2003 — $4,000,000, (ii) for the calendar quarter ended June 30,
2003 — $5,500,000; (iii) for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2003 — $6,000,000; and (iv)
for the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2003 — $6,500,000. The minimum New Contracts for
subsequent years during the term hereof shall be set by the Bank on an annual basis prior to the
beginning of each calendar year.

          6.8 Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.

               (a) Borrower shall apply for registration of, or cause applications for registration to be
filed for, on an expedited basis (to the extent not already registered) with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable: (i) those
intellectual property rights listed on Exhibits A, and C to the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement delivered to Bank by Borrower in connection with this Agreement, within
thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, (ii) those intellectual property rights listed on
Exhibit B to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement within ninety (90) days of the date of
this Agreement, (iii) all registrable intellectual property rights which, in Borrower’s reasonable
business judgment, are, or have a reasonable possibility of becoming, material to Borrower’s
business or are otherwise of significant commercial value and which Borrower has developed as of
the date of this Agreement but heretofore failed to register, within thirty (30) days of the date
of this Agreement, except that in the case of Patents, the Borrower shall have ninety (90) days
from the date of this Agreement to file applications for said Patents, and (iv) those additional
intellectual property rights which, in Borrower’s reasonable business judgment, are, or have a
reasonable possibility of becoming, material to Borrower’s business or are otherwise of significant
commercial value and which are developed or acquired by Borrower from time to time in connection
with any product, promptly following development or acquisition, but in any event prior to the sale
or licensing of such product to any third party, and prior to Borrower’s use of such product
(including without limitation major revisions or additions which significantly improve the
functionality of the intellectual property rights listed on such Exhibits A, B and
C). Borrower shall give Bank notice of all such applications or registrations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforesaid obligation to file a patent with respect to any
patentable Intellectual Property shall not apply if Borrower determines, in the exercise of its
best commercial judgment (after consultation with patent counsel, if appropriate), that it is in
the Borrower’s best commercial interest to protect such Intellectual Property as a trade secret
rather than filing a patent with respect to such Intellectual Property, provided that, in
such case, Borrower shall use its best efforts to protect such Intellectual Property as a trade
secret.

               (b) Borrower shall execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents from time to
time as Bank shall reasonably request to perfect Bank’s security interest in the Intellectual
Property Collateral.

               (c) Borrower shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the
Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights which are, or have a reasonable possibility of becoming,
material to Borrower’s business or are otherwise of significant commercial value , (ii) use
reasonable commercial efforts to detect

Page 10

 

infringements of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights which are, or have a reasonable
possibility of becoming, material to Borrower’s business or are otherwise of significant commercial
value and promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow
any material Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the
public without the written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

               (d) Bank may audit Borrower’s Intellectual Property Collateral to confirm compliance with this
Section, provided such audit may not occur more often than once every six (6) months,
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Bank shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take, at Borrower’s sole expense, any actions that Borrower is required under this
Section to take but which Borrower fails to take, after fifteen (15) days’ notice to Borrower.
Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify Bank for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses
incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section.

          6.9 Consent of Inbound Licensors. Prior to entering into or becoming bound by any
license or similar agreement (excluding commercially available off-the-shelf commercial software
licenses), Borrower shall: (i) provide written notice to Bank of the material terms of such
license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or financial
condition; and (ii) use best efforts to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose
consent or waiver is necessary for Borrower’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be
deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted
by the terms of the applicable license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the
future.

          6.10 Further Assurances. At any time, and from time to time, Borrower shall execute
and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by
Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

     7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

     Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any credit hereunder shall be available, and
until payment in full of the outstanding Obligations, or for so long as Bank may have any
commitment to make any Credit Extensions, Borrower will not do any of the following:

          7.1 Dispositions. Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of
(collectively, to “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of
its business or property, other than Permitted Transfers.

          7.2 Change in Business; Change in Control; Change of Name, Executive Office, or
Jurisdiction of Incorporation. Engage in any business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to
engage in any business, other than or reasonably related or incidental to the businesses currently
engaged in by Borrower. Borrower will not have a Change in Control and will not, without thirty
(30) days prior written notification to Bank, change its name, relocate its chief executive office
or change the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

          7.3 Mergers or Acquisitions. Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries
to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another
Person.

          7.4 Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume or be or remain liable with respect to any
Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

          7.5 Encumbrances. Create, incur, assume or allow any Lien with respect to any of its
property, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any
Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, except for Permitted Liens, or covenant to
any other Person that Borrower in the future will refrain from creating, incurring, assuming or
allowing any Lien with respect to any of Borrower’s property.

Page 11

 

          7.6 Distributions. Pay any dividends or make any other distribution or payment on
account of or in redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock (except for nominal
purchases of less than $1,000 in any twelve month period), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do
so, except that Borrower may repurchase the stock of former employees pursuant to stock repurchase
agreements as long as an Event of Default does not exist prior to such repurchase or would not
exist after giving effect to such repurchase; provided, however, that, at any time after May 24,
2006, Borrower may, if it is required to do so pursuant to the terms of its Certificate of
Incorporation and if it is not in default under this Agreement, redeem stock from Safeguard
2001 Capital, L.P., SRA Ventures, LLC or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., if
the Borrower receives an equity infusion or Permitted Indebtedness in an amount greater than or
equal to the aggregate redemption price of such stock.

          7.7 Investments. Directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or
to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, other than Permitted Investments.

          7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to
exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except for transactions that are in
the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less
favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated
Person.

          7.9 Subordinated Debt. Make any payment in respect of any Subordinated Debt, or
permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any such payment, except in compliance with the terms of
such Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision contained in any documentation relating to the
Subordinated Debt without Bank’s prior written consent.

          7.10 Inventory and Equipment. Store the Inventory or the Equipment with a bailee,
warehouseman, or similar party unless Bank has received a pledge of the warehouse receipt covering
such Inventory. Except for Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business and except for such
other locations as Bank may approve in writing, Borrower shall keep the Inventory and Equipment
only at the location set forth in Section 10 and such other locations of which Borrower gives Bank
prior written notice and as to which Borrower signs and files a financing statement where needed to
perfect Bank’s security interest.

          7.11 Compliance. Become 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 reasonably be expected to 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.

          7.12 Negative Pledge Agreements. Permit the inclusion in any contract to which it
becomes a party of any provisions that could restrict or invalidate the creation of a security
interest in Borrower’s rights and interests in any Collateral.

     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, when due, any principal payment or
fails to pay, within three (3) days of when due, any other of the Obligations;

          8.2 Covenant Default. If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Article 6 or
violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement, or fails or neglects to
perform or observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement 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

Page 12

 

such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to
cure such default within ten (10) 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 (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be
cured within such ten (10) 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
thirty (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 (provided that
no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

          8.3 Material Adverse Change. If there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s
business or financial condition, or if there is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment
of any portion of the Obligations or a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank’s
security interests in the Collateral;

          8.4 Attachment. If any material 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) 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) 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 thirty (30) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be
made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding);

          8.6 Other Agreements. If there is a default in any agreement to which Borrower is a
party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such 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 that could have a Material Adverse Effect;

          8.7 Subordinated Debt. If Borrower makes any payment on account of Subordinated Debt,
except to the extent the payment is allowed under any subordination agreement entered into with
Bank;

          8.8 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 ten (10) days
(provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction or stay of the
judgment); or

          8.9 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.

     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:

Page 13

 

               (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;

               (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 (including without limitation by public or private sale) 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; (g) to modify, in its sole discretion, any
intellectual property security agreement entered into between Borrower and Bank without first
obtaining Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A,
B, and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or
interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution hereof
or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights,

Page 14

 

Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or
interest; (h) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and
amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where
permitted by law; and (i) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank or
a third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial Code;
provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of
the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. 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 advances hereunder is terminated.

          9.3 Accounts Collection. Upon and during the continuance 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 the Revolving Facility 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 6.5 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.

          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.

     Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to
this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and

mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery
