Interest accrues at the rate in Section 2.2(a). The Equipment Loan when
repaid may not be reborrowed.
(c) To obtain the Equipment Advance, Borrower must deliver to Bank the
Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B which must be signed by a Responsible
Officer and include a copy of the invoices for the Eligible Equipment being
financed. Bank shall credit the Equipment Advance to Borrower's deposit account.
Borrower can transfer the Equipment Advance from Borrower's account on the date
the Bank makes the Equipment Advance, if the transfer is within regular business
hours of the Bank. Bank may make the Equipment Advance under this Agreement
based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee. Bank
may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a
Responsible Officer or designee.
2.2 INTEREST RATE: PAYMENTS.
(a) Interest Rate. The Equipment Loan accrues interest on the outstanding
principal balance at the rate of 10 per cent per annum. After an Event of
Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective
immediately before the Event of Default. Interest is computed on a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Payments. Interest and principal on the Equipment Loan is payable on
the first day of each month following the Advance under the Equipment Loan. Bank
may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts including Account Number 501569370
for principal and interest payments or any other amounts that Borrower owes Bank
under this Agreement if the same are not paid within fifteen days of the date
when due. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These
debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time, are
considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a
payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next
Business Day.
(c) Pre-Payments. Borrower shall be allowed to prepay the Equipment Loan
without premium or penalty, except with respect to the Final Payment, described
in Section 2.2(d) below.
(d) Final Payment. On the date of the final Equipment Loan Payment, or upon
prepayment of the Equipment Loan in full, Borrower will pay, in addition to the
unpaid principal and accrued interest and all other amounts due on such date
with respect to the Equipment Loan, an amount equal to the Final Payment.
2.3 AGREEMENTS REGARDING INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES.
Borrower and the Bank agree that the only charges imposed or to be imposed
by Bank upon Borrower for the use of money in connection with the Obligations is
and will be the interest required to be paid under the provisions of this
Agreement as well as the related provisions of the Loan Documents, the amount of
interest due and payable under this Agreement or the Loan Documents will not
exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law and, if any
payment is made by Borrower or received by Bank in excess of such payment, such
sum shall be credited as a payment of principal. It is the express intent that
Borrower not pay and the Bank
4
not receive, directly or indirectly or in any manner, interest in excess of that
which may be lawfully paid under applicable law. All interest and other charges,
fees or other amounts deemed to be interest which are paid or agreed to be paid
to Bank under this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, allocated and spread on a pro-rata
basis throughout the entire actual term of the Obligations. Any and all fees
payable under this Agreement are not intended, and will not be deemed to be
interest or a charge for use of money, but rather will constitute an "other
charge."
2.4 FEES. Borrower will pay to Bank:
(a) Facility Fee. A facility fee of $5,000 for the Equipment Loan shall be
paid upon execution of this Agreement; and
(b) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses incurred through and after the date of
this Agreement, are payable when due.
2.5 ADDITIONAL COSTS. If, after the date hereof, any new law or regulation
increases Bank's costs or reduces its income for any loan to a level that would
have been achieved but for such new regulation or law, Borrower will pay the
increase in cost or reduction in income or additional expense; provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any amount attributable to any
period before 180 days prior to the date Bank notifies Borrower of such
increased costs. Bank agrees that it will allocate any increased costs among its
customers similarly affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with
Bank's customary practice.

4.2 RESERVED.
5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. Borrower is duly existing under the laws
of the state of Delaware and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in
good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to
do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with any of Borrower's formation documents,
nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which
Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by
which it is bound in which the default could cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.2 COLLATERAL, Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except
Permitted Liens. All inventory is in all material respects of good and
marketable quality, free from material defects except for work in process and
inventory, which due to manufacturing yield issues, may not be free from defect.
Borrower is the sole owner of, or has adequate license rights in, the
Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its
customers in the ordinary course of business. No patent has been judged invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any
patent violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such
invalidity, unenforceability or claim could not reasonably be expected to cause
a Material Adverse Change.
5.3 LITIGATION: Except as identified in Schedule 1, there are no actions or
proceedings pending or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened by or against
Borrower in which an adverse decision that could cause a Material Adverse Change
is reasonably likely.
5.4 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All historical
consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to
Bank fairly present, at the time the statements were created, in all material
respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated
results of operations as of the date thereof. There has not been any material
deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of
the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.5 SOLVENCY. The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill
minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower
is not left with
6
unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and
Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Borrower is not a registered investment company, or
required to register as an investment company, or a company controlled by a
registered investment company under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not
engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock
(under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower
has complied with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not
violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could cause a
Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or
assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or
transporting any hazardous substance. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely
filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all
taxes, except those being contested in good faith. Borrower and each Subsidiary
has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all
declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government
authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted.
5.7 SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other
equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 FULL DISCLOSURE. No representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower
in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading
in any material respect.

6.1 GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE. Borrower shall maintain its and all Subsidiaries'
legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain

operations. Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all
laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with
which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's
business or operations or cause a Material Adverse Change.

9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of
Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and
payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for
amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable
to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the
Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may
enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of
any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien
which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all
expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of
its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies; Not
withstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Bank shall pay all
expenses incurred for damage caused by Bank or any of its agents to any of its
premises which are outside of ordinary wear and tear;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower, or
(ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for
sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and
12
(g) Exercise all rights and remedies accorded to the Bank under the Uniform
Commercial Code;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.1 shall give the Bank any
right in any Collateral beyond the ownership rights possessed by the Borrower or
the right to take any action on behalf of the Borrower in breach of the
Borrower's obligations to third parties.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower's name
on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name
on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading for any Account or drafts against account
debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance
policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly
with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and
(v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as permitted
under the Uniform Commercial Code. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to
sign. Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of any security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an
Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in
fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and
Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may
notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds
and verify the amount of the Account. In such case, Borrower must collect all
payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the
payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required
proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or
obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Bank reasonably deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank
Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then
applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an
agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event
of Default.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. If Bank complies with reasonable banking
practices and the Uniform Commercial Code, Bank shall have no liability or
responsibility for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or
(d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person.
Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the
Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and
remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code, by law, or in equity.
Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of
any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.
13
Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective
unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND WAIVER. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice
of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel
paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable. .
10 NOTICES

agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight

substantially all of the Bank's assets, the Borrower shall have the right to
prepay all Obligations within 30 days of such sale or other transfer in
accordance with Section 2.2.

Except as otherwise as contemplated by Section 9.5 of this Agreement, Borrower
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees and

demands, claims, and liabilities asserted
14
by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from,

negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and
the Loan Documents merge 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, are an original, and all taken together, are one Agreement.
12.7 SURVIVAL. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this
Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The
obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all
statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. In handling any confidential information, Bank will
exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary
information, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, but disclosure of
information may be made on a need-to-know basis: (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or
affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations
with Borrower; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in
the Loans; (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv)
as required in connection with Bank's examination or audit; and (v) as Bank
reasonably considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.
Confidential information does not include information that either: (a) is in
the public domain or in Bank's possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes
part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank
by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from
disclosing the information.
12.9 ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES. In any action or proceeding arising
out of or related to Bank's efforts to collect the Obligations, Bank will be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs
and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be
entitled.
