EXHIBIT 10.22.4

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

     For and in consideration of the loan by COMERICA BANK, successor by merger to COMERICA
BANK-CALIFORNIA (“Bank”) to MANTAS, INC. (“Borrower”), which loan is made pursuant to an Amended
and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 15, 2002, as amended from time to
time, including without limitation by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement dated as of March 19, 2004 and that certain Second Amendment to Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of the date hereof
(collectively, the “Agreement”), and acknowledging that Bank would not enter into the Second
Amendment without the benefit of this Guaranty, the undersigned SAFEGUARD DELAWARE, INC.
(“Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment of
all amounts that Borrower owes to Bank and performance by Borrower of the Agreement, in strict
accordance with its respective terms. All terms used without definition in this Guaranty shall
have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement. Guarantor’s maximum liability under this
Guaranty shall not exceed a principal amount of $5,000,000 plus interest and fees accrued in
connection with the enforcement of the Agreement or this Guaranty.

     1. If Borrower does not pay any amount or perform its obligations in strict accordance with
the Agreement, Guarantor shall immediately pay all amounts due thereunder (including, without
limitation, all principal, interest, and fees) and otherwise to proceed to complete the same and
satisfy all of Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement.

     2. If there is more than one guarantor, the obligations hereunder are joint and several, and
whether or not there is more than one guarantor, the obligations hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Borrower and any other person or entity, and a separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether
Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, to the extent permitted
by law. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is not conditioned or contingent upon the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Agreement.

     3. Guarantor authorizes Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability
hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms of the Agreement
or any part thereof; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Agreement,
and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (c) apply such security and direct
the order or manner of sale thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may determine.

     4. Guarantor waives any right to require Bank to (a) proceed against Borrower , any guarantor
or any other person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or (c) pursue
any other remedy in Bank’s power whatsoever. Bank may, at its election, exercise or decline or
fail to exercise any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Bank,
including without limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or
nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder.
Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower. Guarantor waives
any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower may have against Bank. Guarantor waives any
defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation
or any other rights against Borrower. Until all of the amounts that Borrower owes to Bank have
been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement, contribution or
other rights against Borrower, and Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now
has or may hereafter have against Borrower. Guarantor waives all rights to participate in any
security now or hereafter held by Bank. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for
performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and
notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or
additional indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to
Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by
Guarantor, Bank shall not have any duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Bank regarding
such

 

 

condition or any such circumstances. Guarantor waives the benefits of California Civil Code
sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.

     5. Guarantor acknowledges that, to the extent Guarantor has or may have certain rights of
subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower for claims arising out of this Guaranty, those rights
may be impaired or destroyed if Bank elects to proceed against any real property security of
Borrower by non-judicial foreclosure. That impairment or destruction could, under certain judicial
cases and based on equitable principles of estoppel, give rise to a defense by Guarantor against
its obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor waives that defense and any others arising from
Bank’s election to pursue non-judicial foreclosure. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Guarantor waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, to the extent they are applicable.

     6. If Borrower becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for
reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such
proceeding some or all of any indebtedness or obligations under the Agreement are terminated or
rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s obligations are
otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not
thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no
such action or proceeding had occurred. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor, or otherwise, as though
such payment had not been made.

     7. Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to
any indebtedness of Borrower to Bank; and such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be
collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Bank and be paid over to Bank on
account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Bank but without reducing or affecting in any manner the
liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

     8. Upon Bank’s request, Guarantor agrees to complete and sign a financial statement on Bank’s
form. Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses which
may be incurred by Bank in the enforcement of this Guaranty. No terms or provisions of this
Guaranty may be changed, waived, revoked or amended without Bank’s prior written consent. Should
any provision of this Guaranty be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable, all of the other provisions shall remain effective. This Guaranty, together with
any agreements (including without limitation any security agreements or any pledge agreements)
executed in connection with this Guaranty, embodies the entire agreement among the parties hereto
with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties
with respect to the matters set forth herein. No course of prior dealing among the parties, no
usage of trade, and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement,
modify or vary any of the terms hereof. There are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this
Guaranty. Bank may assign this Guaranty without in any way affecting Guarantor’s liability under
it. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns. This
Guaranty is in addition to the guaranties of any other guarantors and any and all other guaranties
of Borrower’s indebtedness or liabilities to Bank.

     9. Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that (i) Guarantor has taken all necessary and
appropriate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty, (ii)
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not conflict with or result in a breach of
or constitute a default under Guarantor’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other
organizational documents or agreements to which it is party or by which it is bound, and (iii) this
Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance
with its terms.

     10. Guarantor covenants and agrees that Guarantor shall do all of the following:

          10.1. Guarantor shall maintain its corporate existence, remain in good standing in the state
of its incorporation, and continue to qualify in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so
qualify could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations or business of
Guarantor. Guarantor shall maintain in force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of
which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operations or business.

 

 

          10.2. Guarantor shall comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, directives, orders, and
government rules and regulations to which it is subject if non-compliance with such laws could
adversely affect the financial condition, operations or business of Guarantor.

          10.3. At any time and from time to time Guarantor 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 Guaranty.

     11. This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to
conflicts of laws principles. GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN,
INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR
STATUTORY CLAIMS. Guarantor submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in Santa Clara County, California for purposes of this Guaranty and the Agreement

     12. Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that (i) it is the General Partner of Safeguard
99 Capital L.P., Safeguard 2000 Capital L.P. and Safeguard 2001 Capital L.P., all of which own
capital stock of Borrower and (ii) the financial statements of Guarantor and its Affiliates
provided to Bank are true and correct in all material respects.

     13. By acceptance of this Guaranty, Bank agrees that it will not make Credit Extensions to
Borrower under the Agreement in excess of a principal amount of $5,000,000. If Bank makes any
Credit Extensions in excess of such amount, this Guaranty shall be valid only to the extent of
Credit Extensions in a principal amount of $5,000,000 plus interest and fees.

     14. Reference Provision. If and only if the jury trial waiver set forth in Section 11 of this
Agreement is invalidated for any reason by a court of law, statute or otherwise, the reference
provisions set forth below shall be substituted in place of the jury trial waiver. So long as the
jury trial waiver remains valid, the reference provisions set forth in this Section shall be
inapplicable.

          14.1. Each controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, any security agreement executed by Guarantor in favor of Bank, any
note executed by Guarantor in favor of Bank or any other document, instrument or agreement executed
by Guarantor with or in favor of Bank (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), other
than (i) all matters in connection with nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or
personal property; or (ii) the appointment of a receiver or the exercise of other provisional
remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law) that are not settled in writing
within fifteen (15) days after the date on which a party subject to the Loan Documents gives
written notice to all other parties that a Claim exists (the “Claim Date”) shall be resolved by a
reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor sections (“CCP”), which shall constitute the
exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim concerning the Loan Documents, including whether
such Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as set forth in this section, the
parties waive the right to initiate legal proceedings against each other concerning each such
Claim. Venue for these proceedings shall be in the Superior Court in the County where the real
property, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under state law
(the “Court”). By mutual agreement, the parties shall select a retired Judge of the Court to serve
as referee, and if they cannot so agree within fifteen (15) days after the Claim Date, the
Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative) shall promptly select the referee. A
request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis. The referee
shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all the powers for a temporary judge, as
authorized by law, and upon selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided
for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party
shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Upon being selected, the referee shall
(a) be requested to set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15)
days after the date of selection and (b) if practicable, try any and all issues of law or fact and
report a statement of decision upon them within ninety (90) days of the date of selection. The
referee will have power to expand or limit the amount of discovery a party may employ. Any
decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be
entered pursuant to CCP §644 in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction. The
parties shall complete all discovery no later than fifteen (15) days before the first trial date
established by the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party’s refusal
to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal
objections raised to such

 

 

discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be
entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery. Either party may take depositions upon seven (7)
days written notice, and shall respond to requests for production or inspection of documents within
ten (10) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the
parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the
parties. Pending appointment of the referee as provided herein, the Superior Court is empowered to
issue temporary and/or provisional remedies, as appropriate.

          14.2. Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which
the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of all hearings, the order of
presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the
reference proceeding. Except for trial, all proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee
shall be conducted without a court reporter unless a party requests a court reporter. The party
making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter.
Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties shall equally
bear the costs of the court reporter at the trial and the
referee’s expenses.

          14.3. The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing California case and
statutory law. California rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law will apply to the
reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief,
to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that shall be
binding upon the parties. At the close of the reference proceeding, the referee shall issue a
single judgment at disposing of all the claims of the parties that are the subject of the
reference. The parties reserve the right (i) to contest or appeal from the final judgment or any
appealable order or appealable judgment entered by the referee and (ii) to obtain findings of fact,
conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and (iii) to move for a new trial or a
different judgment, which new trial, if granted, shall be a reference proceeding under this
provision.

          14.4. If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and
no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be
determined by the reference procedure herein described will be resolved and determined by
arbitration conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance with the California
Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations
with respect to discovery as set forth in this Section shall apply to any such arbitration
proceeding.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Guarantor has executed this Guaranty as of March 31, 2004.

     This Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement is entered into as
of March 14, 2005 (the “Amendment”), by and between COMERICA BANK, successor by merger to Comerica
Bank — California (“Bank”) and MANTAS, INC. (“Borrower”).

RECITALS

     Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of December 15, 2002, as amended, including without limitation by that certain Loan

Amendment.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

follows: “Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may request
Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving
Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus, in each case, the aggregate face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit.”

     2. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

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

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

2.8 Lockbox. As of June 14, 2005 and at all times thereafter, Borrower
shall cause all remittances made by any account debtor for any Accounts to be made
to a lock box (the “Lockbox”) maintained with Bank. Unless otherwise directed by
Bank in writing, all invoices and other instructions submitted by Borrower to an
account debtor relating to Account payments shall designate the Lockbox as the place
to which such payments shall be made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension of up to
$3,500,000 until such time as Borrower has caused all remittances made by any
account debtor for any Accounts to be made to the Lockbox.

     4. Section 5.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

5.3 Collateral and Bona Fide Eligible Accounts. 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 and services giving rise
to such Eligible Accounts has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or to
the account debtor’s agent for immediate 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 Inventory is in all
material respects of

1

 

good and marketable quality, free from all material defects,
except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.

     5. The second and fourth paragraphs of Section 6.2 of the Agreement, labeled (a) and (c), are
hereby amended to read as follows:

     (a) 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 in excess of $3,500,000, Borrower shall deliver to Bank a
Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in substantially the form
of Exhibit D hereto, together with aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts
payable of Borrower and Sotas.

     (c) Bank shall have a right from time to time hereafter to audit Borrower’s
Accounts and appraise Collateral at Borrower’s expense, provided that such
audits will be conducted no more often than every six (6) months, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. The obligation of Bank to make each Credit
Extension is subject to the condition that Bank shall have obtained results
satisfactory to Bank of an audit and appraisal of Borrower’s Accounts and Collateral
within the six (6) months prior to such Credit Extension. The obligation of Bank to
make the next Credit Extension after March 14, 2005 which brings the aggregate
balance of the outstanding Credit Extensions in excess of $3,500,000 is subject to
the condition that Bank shall have obtained results satisfactory to Bank of such an
audit.

     6. Section 6.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     6.6 Primary Depository. On or before May 14, 2005, all Borrower’s accounts at

     7. Section 6.7(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     6.7 Financial Covenants.

     (a) Quick Ratio. Borrower shall maintain at all times, a ratio
of Quick Assets to Current Liabilities plus, to the extent not already
included therein, all Indebtedness (including without limitation any
Contingent Obligations) owing from Borrower to Bank, less deferred revenue,
of at least 1.40 to 1.00. The portion of Borrower’s Quick Assets made up of
unrestricted cash shall not be less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) at
any time and shall be maintained with Bank. Borrower authorizes Bank to
decline to honor any checks, drafts or other items of payment or directions
to wire or otherwise transfer funds from Bank if, after giving effect to the
payment of any such item or pursuant to such transfer request, Borrower
would not be in compliance with this Section 6.7(a).

     8. Section 6.7(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

     (b) [Intentionally Omitted.]

     9. Section 6.7(c) is hereby added to Section 6.7 of the Agreement to read as follows:

     (c) EBITDA. Borrower shall maintain at all times during which
the aggregate amount of all outstanding Credit Extensions is greater than
$3,500,000, an EBITDA for the periods set forth on Schedule 1
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, in an amount no less
than the amount set forth below the corresponding
period on Schedule 1. As used herein, “EBITDA” means Borrower’s net
income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock
compensation expenses.

2

 

     10. A new paragraph is hereby added to the end of Section 6.7 to read as follows: “Borrower
shall only be required to comply with Sections 6.7(a) and 6.7(c) (the “Financial Covenants”) when
the aggregate balance of the outstanding Credit Extensions is in excess of $3,500,000. It shall be
a condition precedent to Borrower’s request of any Credit Extension which would bring the aggregate
balance of the outstanding Credit Extensions in excess of $3,500,000 that Borrower 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. Borrower 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 $3,500,000
or less provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless
otherwise agreed to by Bank in writing, thereafter, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension
of up to $3,500,000.”

     11. The following defined terms are hereby amended in Exhibit A to the Agreement to
read as follows:

               “Borrowing Base” means an amount (the “Formula”) equal to (i) $3,500,000 plus
(ii) eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts plus an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) sixty percent (60%) of Eligible Exception Accounts, or (ii) $2,000,000, as
determined by Bank with reference to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate
delivered by Borrower, provided that Bank may modify the Formula from time to time
based upon receipt of the results of an audit of Borrower’s or Sotas’ Accounts.

               “Committed Revolving Line” means a credit extension of up to Seven Million
Dollars ($7,000,000).

               “Eligible Accounts” means those billed Accounts of Borrower or Sotas that arise
in the ordinary course of Borrower’s and Sotas’ business, that are paid into the
Lockbox, and that comply with all of Borrower’s representations and warranties to
Bank set forth in Section 5.3; provided, that Bank may change the standards of
eligibility by giving Borrower thirty (30) days prior written notice. Unless

Borrower or Sotas;

               (f) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor does not have its

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

assignment has been acknowledged under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 (31
U.S.C. 3727);

3

 

               (h) Accounts with respect to which Borrower or Sotas is liable to the account
debtor for goods sold or services rendered by the account debtor to Borrower or
Sotas (including without limitation invoices for down payments for deployment
services and licenses), but only to the extent of any amounts owing to the account
debtor against amounts owed to Borrower or Sotas;

               (i) Accounts with respect to an account debtor (to which (j) does not apply),
including Subsidiaries and Affiliates, whose total obligations to Borrower or Sotas
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 a domestic account debtor, including Subsidiaries

               (k) 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;

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

               (m) Accounts the collection of which Bank reasonably determines after inquiry
and consultation with Borrower or Sotas to be doubtful.

               “Eligible Exception Accounts” means those Accounts, including certain foreign
receivables with investment grade ratings which are not insured or supported by
letters of credit, advanced billed account receivables and progress billed account
receivables, that Bank determines in its sole discretion to lend against which would
not otherwise be Eligible Accounts or Eligible Foreign Accounts.

               “Revolving Maturity Date” means January 31, 2006.

               “Sotas” means Sotas, Inc.

12. A new Section 13 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as follows:

13. REFERENCE PROVISION. The parties prefer that any dispute between them be
resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in Section 11 of this
Agreement, but the availability of that process is in doubt because of the opinion of the
California Court of Appeal in Grafton Partners LP v. Superior Court, 9 Cal.Rptr.3d 511.
This Reference Provision will be applicable until the California Supreme Court completes its
review of that case, and will continue to be applicable if either that court or a California
Court of Appeal publishes a decision holding that a pre-dispute Jury Trial Waiver provision
similar to that contained in the Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable. Delay in
requesting appointment of a referee pending review of any such decision, or participation in
litigation pending review, will not be deemed a waiver of this Reference Provision.

13.1 Mechanics.

     (i) Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal
property, (ii) the appointment of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional
remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy,
dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the

4

 

parties arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the Bank and the
undersigned (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a
reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq.
of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall
constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim
is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents,
venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court
in the County or District where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the
“Court”).

     (ii) The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written
agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the
Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a
referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that
irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be
appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Each party shall have one peremptory
challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power
to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

     (iii) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference
proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested to (a) set the matter for a status
and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the
referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days after the
date of the conference and (c) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after
the matter has been submitted for decision. Any decision rendered by the referee will be
final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP §644.

     (iv) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of
discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause,
including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever.
Unless otherwise ordered, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery,
depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other
discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes
relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the
referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

13.2 Procedures. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall
determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and
place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise
with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings
conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter,
except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing
conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the
transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and
pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing

party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at
trial.

13.3 Application of Law. The referee shall be required to determine all issues in
accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The
rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be
applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable
as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable
orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized
in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary
adjudication . The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding
which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The
referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same
manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The parties reserve the right to
appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by
the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a
written statement of

5

 

decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different
judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this
provision.

13.4  Repeal. If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a
referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties
that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by
arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance
with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to
time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such
arbitration proceeding.

13.5 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE
PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY, AND THAT THEY ARE IN EFFECT
WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN AGREEING TO THIS REFERENCE PROVISION. AFTER
CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH
PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE
PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

        13. Schedule 1 is hereby added to and incorporated by this reference into the
Agreement to read as Schedule 1 attached hereto.

        14. Exhibit D to the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
Exhibit D attached hereto.

        15. Exhibit E to the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
Exhibit E attached hereto.

        16. 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 remain in full force and
effect in accordance with its respective 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. 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, except to the extent such security interest are
being released pursuant to Section 17 below.

        17. 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.

        18. 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.

        19. 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 Borrower;

            (b) Affirmation and Amendment to Guaranty (Safeguard);

            (c) Affirmation of Guaranty (Sotas);

            (d) disbursement instructions, agreement to provide insurance, and automatic debit
authorization;

            (e) good standing certificates for Sotas issued by each of the Virginia Secretary of State,
the Delaware Secretary of State and the Maryland Secretary of State on or before April 14, 2005;

6

 

            (f) a nonrefundable amendment fee equal to $3,000 plus an amount equal to all Bank Expenses
incurred through the date of this Amendment; and

            (g) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the first date above written.
