(a) Notice. Whenever Borrower desires that Lender make a Loan,
Borrower shall so notify Lender in writing (or by telephone with prompt

results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, whether
or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, or there

(a) Interest Payments On Payment Dates. Borrower shall make payments
of interest monthly in advance for each Loan (collectively, "Scheduled
Payments"), commencing on the Loan Commencement Date (or commencing on the
Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first Business Day of the month) with
respect to such Loan and continuing thereafter during the Repayment Period on
the first Business Day of each month (each a "Payment Date"), calculated using
the Basic Rate determined as of the last day of the preceding month. In any
event, all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in
full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Loan.
(b) Interim Payment. In addition to the Scheduled Payments, on the
Funding Date for the Loan (unless the Funding Date is the first Business Day of
the month) Borrower shall pay to Lender in advance an amount (the "Interim
Payment") equal to interest on the original principal amount of the Loan
calculated at the Basic Rate from the Funding Date until the first Payment Date
with respect to the Loan.
(c) Final Payment. Unless a Loan is prepaid in full, on the Maturity
Date with respect to such Loan, Borrower shall pay the unpaid principal and
accrued interest and all other amounts due on such date with respect to such
Loan.
2.5 Prepayments.

accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, then
Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender (i) all unpaid Scheduled Payments with
respect to the Loans due prior to the date of prepayment, (ii) the outstanding
principal amount of each Loan, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have
become due and payable hereunder with respect to the Loans.
(b) Optional Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in
part at any time, without premium or penalty.
2.6 Other Payment Terms.
(a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender
by payments to Lender at the address specified in Section 11, in lawful money of
the United States and in same day or immediately available funds.
(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c) Default Rate. If either (i) any amounts required to be paid by
Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including principal,
interest, and any fees or other amounts) remain unpaid after such amounts are
due, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding balance hereunder from the date due
or from the date of the Event of Default, as applicable, until such past due
amounts are paid in full or until all Events of Defaults are cured, as
applicable, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate. All computations of
such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed.
2.7 Minimum Funding Amount. Except with the prior consent of Lender, in
Lender's sole discretion, the amount of the requested Loan shall not be less
than the Minimum Funding Amount.
2.8 Crediting Payments. The receipt by Lender of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied
conditionally to reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds and
is made to the appropriate deposit account of Lender 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 Lender after 12:00 noon California time shall be deemed to
have been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day.
2.9 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Lender
and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity
Date for the last Loan made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender

Borrower; and (e) such other financial information as Lender may reasonably
request from time to time.
6.4 Certificates of Compliance. Each time financial statements are
furnished pursuant to Section 6.3 above, there shall be delivered to Lender a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer (each an "Officer's Certificate")
with respect to such financial reports to the effect that: (i) no Event of
Default or Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder since the date of
this Agreement or, if later, since the date of the prior Officer's Certificate
or, if such an event or condition has occurred and is continuing, the nature and
extent thereof and the action Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto,
and (ii) Borrower is in compliance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7.
6.5 Notice of Defaults. As soon as possible, and in any event within five
(5) days after the discovery of a Default or an Event of Default provide Lender
with an Officer's Certificate of Borrower setting forth the facts relating to or
giving rise to such Default or Event of Default and the action which Borrower
proposes to take with respect thereto.
6.6 Taxes. Borrower shall make due and timely payment or deposit of all
federal, state, and local taxes, assessments, or contributions required of it by
law or imposed upon any properties belonging to it, and will execute and deliver
to Lender, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment or
deposit thereof-, and Borrower will make timely payment or deposit of all tax
payments and withholding taxes required of it by applicable laws, including
those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state,
and federal income taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Lender with proof
satisfactory to lender indicating that Borrower has made such payments or
deposits; provided that Borrower need not make any payment if the amount or
validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and is adequately reserved against by Borrower.
6.7 Use; Maintenance.
(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall make all necessary site
preparations and cause the Collateral to be operated in accordance with any
applicable manufacturers manuals or instructions. So long as no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to
quietly possess and use the Collateral as provided herein without interference
by Lender.
(b) Borrower, at its expense, shall maintain the Collateral in good
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will comply in all material
respects with all laws, rules and regulations to which the use and operation of
the Collateral may be or become subject. Such obligation shall extend to repair
and replacement of any partial loss or damage to the Collateral, regardless of
the cause, other than Collateral disposed of in the ordinary course of business.
If maintenance is mandated by manufacturer, Borrower shall obtain and keep in
effect, at all times during the Term maintenance service contracts with
suppliers approved by Lender, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All parts furnished in connection with
such maintenance or repair shall immediately become part of the Collateral. All
such maintenance, repair and replacement services shall be immediately paid for
and discharged by Borrower with the result that no Lien will attach to the
Collateral.
6.8 Insurance.
Borrower shall obtain and maintain for the Term, at its own expense,
(a) insurance protecting against direct physical loss or damage to the
Collateral, and (b) commercial general liability insurance (including
contractual liability, products liability and completed operations coverages),
reasonably satisfactory to Lender and such other insurance (other than
earthquake insurance) against such other risks of loss and with such terms, as
shall in each case be reasonably satisfactory to or reasonably required by
Lender (as to carriers, amounts, deductibles and otherwise). The amount of the
"all risk" insurance shall be the greater of (i) the replacement value of the
Collateral (as new) or (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and
all other then outstanding amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Such
amounts shall be determined to Lender's reasonable satisfaction as of each
anniversary date of this Agreement and the appropriate amount of coverage shall
be put in effect on the next succeeding renewal or inception date of such
insurance.
The amount of such commercial general public liability insurance
(other than products liability coverage and completed operations insurance)
shall be at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. The amount of such products
liability and completed operations insurance shall be at least $2,000,000 per
occurrence. The deductible with respect to the "all-risk" and product liability
insurance shall not exceed $25,000; otherwise there shall be no deductible with
respect to any insurance required to be maintained hereunder without the prior
written approval of Lender. Such "all risk" insurance shall: (a) name Lender as
sole loss payee with respect to the Collateral, (b) provide each insurer's
waiver of its right of subrogation against Lender and Borrower, and (c) provide
that such insurance (i) shall not be invalidated by any action of, or breach of
warranty by, Borrower of a provision of any of its insurance policies, and (ii)
shall waive set-off, counterclaim or offset against Lender. Each liability
policy shall (A) name Lender as an additional insured and (B) provide that such
insurance shall have cross-liability and severability of interest endorsements
(which shall not increase the aggregate policy limits of Borrower's insurance).
All insurance policies (C) shall provide that Borrower's insurance shall be
primary without a right of contribution of Lender's insurance, if any, or any
obligation on the part of Lender to pay premiums of Borrower, and (D) shall
contain a clause requiring the insurer to give Lender at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of its cancellation (other than cancellation for non-
payment for which ten (10) days notice shall be sufficient). Borrower shall on
or prior to the date of and prior to each policy renewal, furnish to Lender
certificates of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that such
insurance coverage is in effect.
6.9 Loss; Damage; Destruction and Seizure.
(a) Borrower shall bear the risk of the Collateral being lost,
stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or
seized by a governmental authority for any reason whatsoever at any time until
the expiration or termination of the Term.
(b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 6.8 received by Lender
or Borrower with
respect to an item of Collateral, the repair of which is practicable, shall, at
the election of Borrower, be applied either to the repair or replacement of such
Collateral or, upon Lender's receipt of evidence of the repair or replacement of
the Collateral reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the reimbursement of
Borrower for the cost of such repair or replacement. All replacement parts and
equipment acquired by Borrower in replacement of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 6.9(b) shall immediately become part of the Collateral upon acquisition
by Borrower. Borrower shall take such actions and provide such documentation as
may be reasonably requested by Lender to protect and preserve its first priority
security interest and otherwise to avoid any impairment of Lender's rights under
the Loan Documents in connection with such repair or replacement.
6.10 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall
execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may
reasonably be requested by Lender to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower covenants and agrees that until the full and complete payment
of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, Borrower will not do any
of the following:
7.1 Chief Executive Office; Location of Collateral. During the
continuance of this Agreement, change the chief executive office or principal
place of business or remove or cause to be removed, except in the ordinary

prior written notice to Lender.
7.2 Extraordinary Transactions and Disposal of Assets. Enter into any

business as presently conducted and (ii) sales or other dispositions in the
ordinary course of business of assets, other than Collateral, that have become
worn out or obsolete or that are promptly being replaced.

encumbrance of any kind with respect to any of its Property, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Liens.

Default by Borrower under this Agreement:

payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, any portion of the Obligations.

default under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that
can be cured, has failed to cure such default within twenty (20) days after the
occurrence of such default.
8.4 Material Adverse Change. If there occurs a material adverse change in
Borrower's business, or if there is a material impairment of the prospect of
repayment of any portion of the Obligations owing to Lender or a material
impairment of the value or priority of Lenders security interests in the
Collateral.
8.5 Attachment If any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached,
seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes
into the possession of any trustee, receiver or Person acting in a similar
capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not
been removed, discharged or rescinded within fifteen (15) days, or if Borrower
is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing
to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of
Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of
record with respect to any of Borrower's assets by the United States Government,
or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county,
municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten (10) days
after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing
shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an
adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contesting by Borrower.

Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such

9. LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, Lender shall have no further obligation to advance
money or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower. In addition, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have
the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law
and, in addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Lender may, at its
election, without notice of election and without demand, do any one or more of
the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement by
any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, including the outstanding
principal amount of each Loan, immediately due and payable (provided that upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.12 or 8.13 all
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by
Lender);
(b) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and
do such acts as Lender consider necessary or reasonable to protect its security
interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Lender
so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may
designate. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral
is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of
it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or
lien which in Lender's determination appears to be prior or superior to its
security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With
respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy
the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to
exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity,
or otherwise;
(c) Without notice to Borrower, set off and apply to the Obligations
any and all indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account
of Borrower;
(d) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare
for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the
Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower's
labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any Property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with
Lender's exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower's rights under
all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender's benefit;
(e) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both,
by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such
manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Lender determines
are commercially reasonable;
(f) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(g) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as
provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Waiver by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the
extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at any time insist
upon or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage
of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim,
take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral
or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to
any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court
of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any
right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or
otherwise to redeem the Property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full
extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby
expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except
decree or judgment creditors of Borrower acquiring any interest in or title to
the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all
benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not
invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer
and permit the execution of every such power as though no such power, law or
laws had been made or enacted.
9.3 Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given
or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title,
interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Borrower
in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in
equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns, and against
any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or
through Borrower, its successors or assigns.
9.4 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does hereby
irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,
the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower with full power of
substitution, for it and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive,
receipt for, ▇▇▇ for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents,
issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in
which a security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle,
adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were a Borrower
itself, (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any
items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment
of money) that come into Lender's possession or under Lender's control, (c) to
make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect
to, the Collateral, (d) in Lender's discretion to file any claim or take any
other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower
or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to
protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the
Collateral, or (e) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were
the outright owner of the Collateral.
9.5 Lender's Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish
any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required
under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the
following: (a) make payment of the some or any part thereof, (b) set up such
reserves in Borrower's loan account as Lender deem necessary to protect Lender
from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and take any
action with respect to such policies as Lender deem prudent. Any amounts paid or
deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender's Expenses, shall be immediately due
and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove
provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender
shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the
future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided under the Code, by law or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by
Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
9.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy
hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender at the time
of or received by Lender after, the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder)
shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses,
including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of
foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other
fights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses,
liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees,
incurred or made hereunder by Lender;
(b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or
unpaid on the Loans for Scheduled Payments, the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to all Loans and in case such
proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or
unpaid upon the Loans, then to the unpaid interest thereon, then to the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans, and then to the payment of other amounts then
payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its
successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same.
9.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any
right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale,
entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in
every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction),
Lender shall be restored to its former position and fights hereunder with
respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this
Agreement.
10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any

any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
10.2 Lender's Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with
its obligations, if any, under Section 9207 of the Code, Lender shall not in any
way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or
fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof, or (d) any act
or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other
Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrower.
10.3 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated:
(a) General Indemnity. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, and hold

and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including Lender's
Expenses and reasonable attorney's fees and the allocated cost of in-house
counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the, execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and any
other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and
with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any case,

dissolution or relief of debtors or any appellate proceeding) related to this
Agreement or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the

hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person.

the date hereof, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement
between Borrower and Lender and supersede any and all prior agreements,

parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.
(b) This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been

Lender. Any waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan

Section 10.3 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods
with respect to actions that may be brought against Lender have run.
13. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Borrower and Lender acknowledge, understand
and agree that the relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and
Lender, on the other, is, and at all time shall remain solely that of a borrower
and lender. Lender shall not under any circumstances be construed to be a
