     Additional Rent and other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to
     incur additional costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of

     additional costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges
     which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of
     trust covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Basic Rent,
     Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
     Landlord within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of
     non-receipt, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six

     estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by
     Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
     constitute a waiver of a Default with respect to such overdue amount or
     prevent Landlord from exercising any or all of the other rights and
     remedies granted under this Lease. Landlord may, as a matter of
     convenience, provide to Tenant from time to time billings or invoices for

shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information obtained in any such
inspection or audit, but Silicon shall have the right to disclose any such information to
its auditors, regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other
legal process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower&#146;s expense
and the charge therefor shall be $700 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall
represent Silicon&#146;s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Silicon schedule an audit more than 10
days in advance, and Borrower seeks to reschedule the audit with less than 10 days written
notice to Silicon, then (without limiting any of Silicon&#146;s rights or remedies),
Borrower shall pay Silicon a cancellation fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Silicon, to compensate Silicon for the anticipated costs and expenses of the
cancellation. </FONT></P>

to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific

Collateral being present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00
p.m; (v) Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier&#146;s check or wire transfer
is required; (vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may (but is
not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any
and all information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free to employ other methods of
noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if they are commercially

time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at
Borrower&#146;s expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower&#146;s name or
otherwise, but Silicon agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do so in
good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any
documents that Silicon may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order
to perfect and maintain Silicon&#146;s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to

that may come into Silicon&#146;s possession; (d) Endorse all checks and other forms of
remittances received by Silicon; (e) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance,
security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) Grant
extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles
for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection
therewith; (g) Pay any sums required on account of Borrower&#146;s taxes or to secure the

insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i)

and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as Silicon shall determine in

entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon,
in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment
or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Silicon shall
have the option, exercisable at any time, in its good faith business judgment, of either
reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the
reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor. </FONT></P>

remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or
partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to
exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and

Accounts</U>&#148; means Accounts and General Intangibles arising in the ordinary course
of Borrower&#146;s business from the sale of goods or the rendition of services, or the
non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property, which Silicon, in its good faith
business judgment, shall deem eligible for borrowing<B>*</B>. Without limiting the fact
that the determination of which Accounts are eligible for borrowing is a matter of
Silicon&#146;s good faith business judgment, the following (the &#147;<U>Minimum
Eligibility Requirements</U>&#148;) are the minimum requirements for a Account to be an
Eligible Account: (i) the Account must not be outstanding for more than 90 days from its
invoice date (the &#147;<U>Eligibility Period</U>&#148;), (ii) the Account must not
represent progress billings, or be due under a fulfillment or requirements contract with
the Account Debtor, (iii) the Account must not be subject to any contingencies (including
Accounts arising from sales on consignment, guaranteed sale or other terms pursuant to
which payment by the Account Debtor may be conditional), (iv) the Account must not be
owing from an Account Debtor with whom Borrower has any dispute (whether or not relating
to the particular Account), (v) the Account must not be owing from an Affiliate of
Borrower, (vi) the Account must not be owing from an Account Debtor which is subject to
any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or whose financial condition is not acceptable to
Silicon, or which, fails or goes out of a material portion of its business, (vii) the
Account must not be owing from the United States or any department, agency or
instrumentality thereof (unless there has been compliance, to Silicon&#146;s satisfaction,
with the United States Assignment of Claims Act), (viii) (ix) the Account must not be
owing from an Account Debtor to whom Borrower is or may be liable for goods purchased from
such Account Debtor or otherwise (but, in such case, the Account will be deemed not
eligible only to the extent of any amounts owed by Borrower to such Account Debtor).
Accounts owing from one Account Debtor will not be deemed Eligible Accounts to the extent
they exceed 25% of the total Accounts outstanding. In addition, if more than 50% of the
Accounts owing from an Account Debtor are outstanding for a period longer than their
Eligibility Period (without regard to unapplied credits) or are otherwise not eligible
Accounts, then all Accounts owing from that Account Debtor will be deemed ineligible for
borrowing. Silicon may, from time to time, in its good faith business judgment, revise the
Minimum Eligibility Requirements, upon written notice to Borrower. </FONT></P>

incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present

this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute
actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend
