Line minus the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and minus the face
amount of outstanding Private Partner Guaranties. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section may be

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 Borrowers shall indemnify
and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of
such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section
to a Borrower's deposit account, as directed by the Borrower requesting the

                  (b) Letters of Credit.

                           (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this

Bank harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without

                                       5
<PAGE>
(5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to
be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a
rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable
immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

                           (c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and
payable on the first calendar 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 a Borrower's deposit accounts or against the Revolving
Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate
then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue
interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

                           (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. All payments
shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other
charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations
payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.

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

                  2.4 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Bank the following:

                           (a) Facility Fee. A facility fee equal to 0.125% of
the difference between the Revolving Line and the average Daily Balance for each
quarter, which fee shall be due and payable within ten days of the last day of
each such quarter, provided Bank waives such fee for each quarter in which
Borrowers, collectively, maintain an average daily balance of at least
$5,000,000 in deposit accounts with Bank; and

                           (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.

                  2.5 Additional Costs. In case 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):

                           (a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments
of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by a 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

                                       6
<PAGE>
                           (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 Borrowers thereof. Borrowers 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.

                  2.6 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing
Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for
so long as any Obligations are outstanding. Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement at any time upon written notice to Bank and satisfaction of all
outstanding obligations. 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

its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of
which are authorized by Borrowers:

                           (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

payable without any action by Bank); and

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

                  8.2 Right of Setoff; Deposit Accounts. Upon and after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank is hereby authorized by each Borrower,
at any time and from time to time, (a) to set off against, and to appropriate
and apply to the payment of, the obligations and liabilities of a Borrower under
the Loan Documents (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or
liquidated or unliquidated) any and all amounts owing by Bank to a Borrower
(whether payable in U.S. Dollars or any other currency, whether matured or
unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or
demand and however evidenced) and (b) pending any such action, to the extent
necessary, to hold such amounts as collateral to secure such obligations and
liabilities and to

                                       12
<PAGE>
return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks and other items drawn
against any deposits so held as Bank in its sole discretion may elect.

during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as
Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) endorse Borrower's name on any
checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's. The
appointment of Bank as each Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one
of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable

obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

                  8.4 Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.

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 a 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.

                  8.5 Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest,
notice of protest, dishonor, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity,

                  10.1 Primary Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and
original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding
future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or
irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the
execution or delivery of any agreement between Bank and any Borrower. Each
Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all
of the Advances were advanced to such Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate
or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all
Borrowers, including without limitation Advance Request Forms and Compliance
Certificates.

                  10.2 Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and
severally liable for the Obligations and Bank may proceed against one or more of
the Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed
against any of the other Borrowers.

                  10.3 Borrowers as Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other
Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive
notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of both Borrowers, to act as
disbursing agent for receipt of any Advances on behalf of each Borrower and to
apply to Bank on behalf of each Borrower for Advances, any waivers and any
consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not inquire as to
each Borrower's authority to act for or on behalf of Borrower.

                  10.4 Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower
irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including,
without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Bank under
the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of
reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter
primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made
by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan
Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to
participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made
by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan
Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification,
reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 10.4 shall
be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this
Section 10.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such
payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured.

                  10.5 Waivers of Notice. Each Borrower waives notice of
acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of
the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the
Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of
acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any
other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Borrower's risk;
presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any
instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Borrower
would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any
defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank's failure at any time to
require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan
Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to
demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein
shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage
or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and
the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from
any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower's risks
hereunder. Each

                                       14
<PAGE>
Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Bank any defense (legal or
equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may
now or hereafter have against another Borrower or any other Person liable to
Bank with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever.

                  10.6 Subrogation Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any
defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights
against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be
available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839,
2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899, and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in
effect and hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and
hereafter in effect.

                  10.7 Right to Settle, Release.

                           (a) The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be
diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the
Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other
property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of
rights, if any, which Bank may now or hereafter have against any other Person,
including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.

                           (b) Without notice to any Borrower and without
affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of
payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a
Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents
relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender
or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether
pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or
extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce,
or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who
is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.

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

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

         12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

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

                  12.2 Indemnification. Borrowers shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other
party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(b) all losses or Bank

                                       15
<PAGE>
Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or in any
way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and
a Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

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

                  12.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot
be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.

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

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

                        (i) Section 5.2(f) (Investments in Other Persons) of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the
end thereof to read in its entirety as follows:
<PAGE>
                              In the event that, during the period commencing on
                        the Amendment Effective Date through December 31, 2002,
                        the Borrower is not permitted to make any cash
                        Investments pursuant to the immediately preceding
                        sentence, the Borrower shall be permitted to make
                        additional cash Investments, subject to compliance with
                        Section 5.4(f) after giving effect to any cash
                        Investments made or held hereunder, up to a maximum
                        amount, together with any Capital Expenditures made
                        pursuant to the last sentence of clause (o) of this
                        Section 5.2, not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate;
                        provided, however, that if, after receipt of the
                        quarterly financial statements delivered pursuant to
                        Section 5.3(c) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30,
                        2002 or September 30, 2002, it is determined that the
                        Borrower has not maintained the Alternative Minimum
                        EBITDA for such quarter, then no additional cash
                        Investments shall be permitted pursuant to this
                        sentence.

                        (ii) Section 5.2(o) (Capital Expenditures) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the last sentence at the end thereof
with the following:

                              Notwithstanding anything in this clause (o) to the
                        contrary, the Borrower will not at any time permit
                        Capital Expenditures during (i) the fiscal quarters
                        ending on December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002, September
                        30, 2002 and December 31, 2002 to exceed $25,000,000 in
                        any such quarter and (ii) the fiscal quarter ending on
                        June 30, 2002 to exceed $45,000,000; provided, that the
                        unused portion of Capital Expenditures permitted in any
                        fiscal quarter referenced in the preceding sub-clauses
                        (i) and (ii) (including any amount carried over from a
                        previous quarter pursuant to this proviso) and not used
                        in such quarter may be carried over and added to the
                        amount otherwise permitted in the immediately succeeding
                        fiscal quarter, through the fiscal quarter ending on
                        December 31, 2002, provided further, however, that if
                        the Borrower makes less than $20,000,000 in Capital
                        Expenditures during the fiscal quarters ending on June
                        30, 2002 and September 30, 2002 collectively then the
                        amount permitted to be carried over to the fiscal
                        quarter ending on December 31, 2002 shall be reduced by
                        an amount equal to (x) $20,000,000 minus (y) the amount
                        of Capital Expenditures actually made by the Borrower
                        during the fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2002 and
                        September 30, 2002. In the event that, during the period
                        commencing on the Amendment Effective Date through
                        December 31, 2002, the Borrower is not permitted to make
                        any Capital Expenditures pursuant to the immediately
                        preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be permitted to
                        make additional Capital Expenditures, subject to
                        compliance with Section 5.4(f) after giving effect to
                        any Capital Expenditures made hereunder, up to a maximum
                        amount, together with any cash Investments made pursuant
                        to the last sentence of clause (f) of this Section 5.2,
                        not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate; provided,
                        however, that if, after receipt of the quarterly
                        financial statements delivered pursuant to Section
                        5.3(c) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2002 or
                        September 30, 2002, it is determined that the Borrower
                        has not maintained the Alternative Minimum EBITDA for
                        such quarter, then no additional Capital Expenditures
                        shall be permitted pursuant to this sentence.

                        (iii) Section 5.4(f) (Minimum Daily Liquidity) of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following proviso at the end
thereof:

                              ; provided, however, that the amounts for each
                        quarter set forth above shall be increased by an amount
                        (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
                        $1,000,000) equal to 50% of the sum of (i) any
                        Investment made or held by the Borrower during any such
                        quarter pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.2(f)
                        and (ii) any Capital Expenditure made by the Borrower
                        during any such quarter pursuant to the last sentence of
                        Section 5.2(o).

<PAGE>
                  SECTION 2. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall
become effective as of the date hereof on the date (the "Amendment Effective
Date") when the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts

the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a
waiver or amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for
any purpose except as expressly set forth herein.

and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
