    2         
    LOAN AND TERMS OF
PAYMENT

     

    2.1           Promise
to Pay.  Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank
the unpaid principal amount of all Advances hereunder with all interest, fees
and finance charges due thereon as and when due in accordance with this
Agreement.

     

    2.1.1        Financing
of Accounts.

     

    (a)           Availability.  Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific
Eligible Accounts.  Bank may, in its sole discretion in each instance,
finance such Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount
equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the
Eligible Account (the “Advance”).  Bank may, in its sole discretion,
change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a
case-by-case basis.  When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Account
becomes a “Financed Receivable.”

     

    (b)           Maximum
Advances.  The aggregate face amount of all Financed
Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount, and the
aggregate amount of all outstanding Advances at any time may not exceed Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

     

    (c)           Borrowing
Procedure.  Borrower will deliver an Invoice Transmittal for
each Eligible Account it offers.  Bank may rely on information set
forth in or provided with the Invoice Transmittal.

     

    (d)           Credit Quality;
Confirmations.  Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check
of the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing
hereunder in order to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit before agreeing
to finance such Account.  Bank may also verify directly with the
respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Accounts (including confirmations of Borrower’s representations in Section
5.3) by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or
Bank from time to time in its sole discretion.

     

    (e)           Accounts
Notification/Collection.  Bank may notify any Person owing
Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or
collect the amount of the Account.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (f)           Maturity.  Unless
otherwise terminated pursuant to subsection 2.1(g) or (h) below, this Agreement
shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately
due and payable on the Maturity Date.

     

    (g)           Early
Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after
written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective
immediately.  If this Agreement is terminated (A) by Bank in
accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for
any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a termination fee in an amount equal to
one percent (1%) of the total commitment amount or $20,000 (the “Early
Termination Fee”).  The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable
on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at
a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the
Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the
Early Termination Fee if Bank agrees to refinance and re-document this Agreement
under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to
the Maturity Date.

     

    (h)           Bank’s
Discretion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Bank is not obligated to finance any Eligible Accounts.  Bank
and Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that Bank’s agreement to finance
Eligible Accounts hereunder is discretionary in each
instance.  Accordingly, there shall not be any recourse to Bank, nor
liability of Bank, on account of any delay in Bank’s making of, and/or any
decline by Bank to make, any loan or advance requested hereunder.  In
addition, this Agreement may be terminated by Borrower or Bank at any
time.

     

    2.2           Collections,
Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees.  The Obligations shall
be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges.  Unpaid fees and
Finance Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest and fees as described
in Section 9.2 hereof.

     

    2.2.1        Collections.  Collections
will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed
Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to
the Obligations in any order it chooses.  If Bank receives a payment
for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will
first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of Default
then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section
2.2.7.

     

    2.2.2        Facility
Fee.  A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000) is due upon execution of this Agreement.

     

    2.2.3        Finance
Charges.  In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations under
this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank
on account of the Obligations three (3) Business Days after receipt of the
Collections.  Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance
Charge”) on each Financed Receivable which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the
number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by the
outstanding Financed Receivable Balance.  The Finance Charge is
payable on the date when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is
payable in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. After an Event of Default, the
Applicable Rate will increase an additional five percent (5.0%) per annum
effective immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default.

     

    2.2.4        Collateral
Handling Fee.  Borrower will pay to Bank
a collateral handling fee (the “Collateral Handling Fee.”)  So long as
Borrower maintains an Adjusted Quick Ratio, tested monthly, greater than or
equal to 1.50:1.00, the Collateral Handling Fee shall be equal to 0.10% per
month of the Financed Receivable Balance for each Financed Receivable
outstanding, based upon a 360 day year.  So long as Borrower maintains
an Adjusted Quick Ratio, tested monthly, less than 1.50:1.00, the Collateral
Handling Fee shall be equal to 0.30% per month of the Financed Receivable
Balance for each Financed Receivable outstanding, based upon a 360 day
year.  This fee is charged on a daily basis and is equal to the
Collateral Handling Fee divided by 30, multiplied by the number of days each
such Financed Receivable is outstanding, multiplied by the outstanding Financed
Receivable Balance.  The Collateral Handling Fee is payable on the
date when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is payable in
accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.  In computing Collateral Handling
Fees under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed
applied by Bank on account of Obligations three (3) Business Days after receipt
of the Collections.  The Collateral Handling Fee will increase by an
additional 0.50% effective immediately upon an Event of
Default.

    2.2.5        Accounting.  After
each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an accounting of the transactions
for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed
Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, Collateral Handling
Fee, and the Facility Fee.  If Borrower does not object to the
accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it shall be considered
accurate.  All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are
calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.

     

    2.2.6        Deductions.  Bank
may deduct fees, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to Section
2.3, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Advances made or
Collections received by Bank.

     

    2.2.7        Lockbox;
Account Collection Services.

     

    (a)        
   Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository
institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with
respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire
transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively,
the “Lockbox”).  It will be considered an immediate Event of Default
if the Lockbox is not set-up and operational within forty-five (45) days from
the date of such direction by Bank.

     

    (b)        
   Until such Lockbox is established, the proceeds of the
Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address consented to by
Bank.  Upon receipt by Borrower of such proceeds, the Borrower shall
immediately transfer and deliver the same to Bank, along with a detailed cash
receipts journal.  Provided no Event of Default exists or an event
that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3)
days of receipt of such amounts by Bank, Bank will turn over to Borrower the
proceeds of the Accounts other than Collections with respect to Financed
Receivables and the amount of Collections in excess of the amounts for which
Bank has made an Advance to Borrower, less any amounts due to Bank, such as the
Finance Charge, the Facility Fee, payments due to Bank, other fees and expenses,
or otherwise; provided, however, Bank may hold such excess amount with respect
to Financed Receivables as a reserve until the end of the applicable
Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that other Financed
Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account at any time prior to
the end of the subject Reconciliation Period.  This Section does not
impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as
specifically set forth herein.  All Accounts and the proceeds thereof
are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank may apply the proceeds of
such Accounts to the Obligations.

     

    2.2.8        Good
Faith Deposit.  Borrower has paid to Bank a deposit of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Good Faith Deposit”) to initiate Bank’s due
diligence review process and to pay Bank Expenses.  Any portion of the
Good Faith Deposit not utilized to pay Bank Expenses will be applied to the
Facility Fee.

     

    2.3           Repayment of Obligations;
Adjustments.

     

    2.3.1        Repayment.  Borrower
will repay each Advance on the earliest of: (a) the date on which payment is
received of the Financed Receivable with respect to which the Advance was made,
(b) the date on which the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account,
(c) the date on which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but
only to the extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable remains
otherwise an Eligible Account), (d) the date on which there is a breach of any
warranty or representation set forth in Section 5.3, or (e) the Maturity Date
(or any earlier termination). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance
Charges and Collateral Handling Fees with respect to such Advance and all other
amounts then due and payable hereunder.

     

    2.3.2        Repayment
on Event of Default.  When there is an
Event of Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under Section 8.5, immediately without notice or demand from
Bank) repay all of the Advances.  The demand may, at Bank’s option,
include the Advance for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all
accrued Finance Charges, the Early Termination Fee, the Collateral Handling Fee,
attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other
Obligations.

    2.3.3        Debit of
Accounts.  Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts
for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder.  Bank shall
promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts.  These
debits shall not constitute a set-off.

     

    2.3.4        Adjustments.  If
at any time during the term of this Agreement any Account Debtor asserts an
Adjustment or if Borrower issues a credit memorandum or if any of the
representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 5.3 are no longer
true in all material respects, Borrower will promptly advise Bank.

     

    2.4           Power of
Attorney.  Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its
successors and assigns as attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank, regardless of
whether there has been an Event of Default, to: (a) sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, compromise, or discharge all or any part of the Financed Receivables;
(b) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due
and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or proceeding about
the Financed Receivables, including filing a claim or voting a claim in any
bankruptcy case in Bank’s or Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses; (c) prepare, file
and sign Borrower’s name on any notice, claim, assignment, demand, draft, or
notice of or satisfaction of lien or mechanics’ lien or similar document; (d)
notify all Account Debtors to pay Bank directly; (e) receive, open, and dispose
of mail addressed to Borrower; (f) endorse Borrower’s name on checks or other
instruments (to the extent necessary to pay amounts owed pursuant to this
Agreement); and (g) execute on Borrower’s behalf any instruments, documents,
financing statements to perfect Bank’s interests in the Financed Receivables and
Collateral and do all acts and things necessary or expedient, as determined
solely and exclusively by Bank, to protect, preserve, and otherwise enforce
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, as directed by
Bank.

each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing security
interest in, and pledges and assigns to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and

interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the

scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

     

    5            
 REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

     

    Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:

     

    5.1           Due
Organization and Authorization.  Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization
in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to
do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of
their respective business or ownership of property requires that they be
qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.  In connection
with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed Perfection
Certificate signed by Borrower.   Borrower represents and
warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the
Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an
organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that
Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office
as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive
office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past
five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure
or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all
other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and
agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the
Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one
or more specific provisions in this Agreement).

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of
Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with,
constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law,
(iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by
which Borrower or any its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be
bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing with or Governmental
Approval from any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals
which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or
(v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which
Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default under any agreement to
which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could have a
material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

     

    5.2           Collateral.  Borrower
has good title, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the
Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of
any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.   Borrower has no
deposit accounts in the United States other than the deposit accounts with Bank,
the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered
to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and
taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest
therein. The accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account
Debtors.

     

    The
Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a
warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of
the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as
provided in the Perfection Certificate or as Borrower has given Bank notice
pursuant to Section 7.2.  In the event that Borrower, after the date
hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a
bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such
bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion.

     

    Borrower
is the sole owner of its intellectual property, except for non-exclusive
licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each
patent is valid and enforceable, and no part of the intellectual property has
been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the intellectual
property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim
could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s
business.  Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is
not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with
respect to which Borrower is licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts
Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such
license or agreement or any other property.  Borrower shall provide
written notice to Bank within 30 days of entering or becoming bound by any such
license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on
Borrower’s business or financial condition (other than over-the-counter software
that is commercially available to the public).  Borrower shall take
such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or wavier by, any person
whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to
be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might
otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license
or agreement (such consent or authorization may include a licensor’s agreement
to a contingent assignment of the license to Bank if Bank determines that is
necessary in its good faith judgment), whether now existing or entered into in
the future.

     

    Without
prior consent from Bank, Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any
such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact
on Borrower’s business or financial condition.  Borrower shall take
such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person
whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to
be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might
otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license
or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future.

     

    5.3           Financed
Receivables.  Borrower represents and warrants for each
Financed Receivable:

     

    (a)           Each
Financed Receivable is an Eligible Account;

     

    (b)           Borrower
has the right to sell, transfer, assign and encumber such Financed
Receivable;

     

    (c)           The
correct amount is on the Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (d)           Payment
is not contingent on any obligation or contract and Borrower has fulfilled all
its obligations as of the Invoice Transmittal date;

     

    (e)           Each
Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or
services rendered, is due to Borrower, is not past due or in default, has not
been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any
liens, security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted
Liens;

     

    (f)           There
are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account
Debtor may claim any deduction or discount;

     

    (g)           Borrower

representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or

    5.4           Litigation.  There
are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s
Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any

    5.5           No
Material Deviation in Financial Statements.  All consolidated
financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly
present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and

be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  None of Borrower’s or
any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any
Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in
disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance
other than legally.  Borrower and each Subsidiary have timely filed
all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all
material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate
reserves under GAAP.  Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all
consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to
continue its business as currently conducted except where the failure to obtain
or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.  Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made

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

and Remedies.  When an Event of Default occurs and continues
Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

     

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

     

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

     

    (c)           Settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on
terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable and notify any Person owing
Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount

Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the
form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for
deposit;

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (g)           Place
a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of
exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions
pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any
Collateral; and

     

    (h)           Exercise
all rights and remedies and dispose of the Collateral according to the
Code.

     

    9.2           Bank
Expenses; Unpaid Fees.  If Borrower fails to obtain insurance
called for by Section 6.4 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay
any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or by
any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment,
and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and
payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by
the Collateral.  Bank will make reasonable effort to provide Borrower
with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or
within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement
to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of
Default.

reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral in
possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible
for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the
Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or
default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other
Person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the

    CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND
JURY TRIAL WAIVER

     

    California
law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of
law.  Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude
Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction
to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to
enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Borrower
expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or
suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that
it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum
non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable
relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.  Borrower hereby waives
personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such
action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other
process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the
address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall
be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt
thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage
prepaid.

     

    TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND
ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS
COUNSEL.

    WITHOUT
INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is
not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or
controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by
a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they
cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California
Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute
falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without
a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the
jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be
conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code
of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge
shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including
without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary
and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such
proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records
relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of
any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not
been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then
such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for
such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be
conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of
evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be
entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be
before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial
proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may
enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the
same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the
selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in
the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a
statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure
§ 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any
party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral,
or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also
determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and
enforceability of this paragraph.

    2.           
 Amendment to Existing
Loan Agreement.  The Existing Loan Agreement is amended as
follows.

     

    2.1           Section 13
(DEFINITIONS).  Section 13.1 of the Existing Loan Agreement is
amended as follows:

     

    The
following terms and their respective definitions, which are set forth in

    “Facility
Amount” is

    2.2           Section
2.1.1(b)    Maximum
Advances. 
Section 2.1.1(b) of the Existing Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the
amount “Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000)” and substituting in its place the amount “Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
$600,000)”.

     

    2.3           Section
2.1.1(f)    Maturity.  Section 2.1.1(f) of
the Existing Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the
following:

     

    (f)         
   Maturity.  Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to
subsection 2.1(g) or (h) below, this Agreement shall terminate and all
Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable on the
Maturity Date; provided that Borrower shall not submit a request for an Advance
after December 1, 2008.

     

    2.4           Section
6.6    Financial
Covenants.  Section 6.6 of the Existing Loan Agreement is
deleted in its entirety.

     

    2.5           Compliance
Certificate.  The form of Compliance Certificate that is
attached to this Amendment as Attachment
A shall amend and supersede the form of Compliance Certificate that is
attached as Exhibit
B to the Existing Loan Agreement.

     

    3.        
    Acknowledgement of Defaults; Merger.

     

    3.1           Borrower
acknowledges that it is in default under the Existing Loan Agreement, including
all three of the financial covenants set forth in Section
6.6.  Borrower has not maintained the minimum required liquidity and
it has been unable to obtain the new round of equity financing.

     

    3.2           Borrower
has advised Bank that it has entered into a merger agreement with Lumera
Corporation; that it expects over the next 90 days to file a Form S-4
registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission, to submit the
merger to its members and managers for formal approval, and to seek all other
consents and take all other actions necessary to proceed with the
merger.

     

    3.3           Borrower
has requested that Bank forbear from terminating the Existing Loan Agreement and
exercising its remedies thereunder, notwithstanding the defaults and Events of
Default that have occurred.  Instead, Borrower has asked Bank to
extend the maturity to December 31, 2008 to provide liquidity to Borrower while
it works to complete the merger.  Bank is willing to extend the
maturity, and to amend the Existing Loan Agreement, provided that the maximum
aggregate Advances be reduced, and otherwise as expressly provided
herein.  Bank reserves each of its rights and remedies, including
without limitation its rights to terminate the Loan Agreement, accelerate the
maturity, and exercise its creditor remedies, if any Event of Default occurs
after the Effective Date of this Amendment, or if any Event of Default of which
Bank is unaware has occurred as of the Effective Date.

    3.4           Section
7.3 of the Existing Loan Agreement remains in effect; Bank has not given its
consent to the proposed merger with Lumera Corporation; Bank has not received
sufficient information about the merger to approve or disapprove it; and nothing
in this Amendment or any other instrument or agreement, and no act or omission
by Bank to date, shall be construed as Bank’s consent to the
merger.  Bank reserves the right to approve or disapprove the merger
in its sole discretion.  Such consent would be given, if at all, in a
writing signed by Bank.

     

    4.
