lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, Seller may
request that Buyer purchase receivables and Buyer may, in its sole discretion,
elect to purchase receivables. Seller shall deliver to Buyer an Invoice

Transmittal delivered to Buyer. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on all the
information provided by Seller to Buyer on or with the Invoice Transmittal and
to rely on the signature on any Invoice Transmittal as an authorized signature

purchase any receivable listed on an Invoice Transmittal. Buyer may exercise
its sole discretion in approving the credit of each Account Debtor before buying
any receivable. Upon acceptance by Buyer of all or any of the receivables
described on any Invoice Transmittal, Buyer shall pay to Seller 70(%) percent
-----
(or 80(%) percent on receivables with terms of 30 days or less) of the face
-----
amount of each receivable Buyer desires to purchase, net of deferred revenue and
offsets related to each specific Account Debtor. Such payment shall be the
"Advance" with respect to such receivable. Buyer may, from time to time, in its
sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance. Upon Buyer's acceptance
of the receivable and payment to Seller of the Advance, the receivable shall
become a "Purchased Receivable." It shall be a condition to each Advance that
(i) all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of this
Agreement be true and correct on and as of the date of the related Invoice
Transmittal and on and as of the date of such Advance as though made at and as
of each such date, and (ii) no Event of Default or any event or condition that
with notice, lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from such Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all (i)
Purchased Receivables outstanding at any time exceed TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,500,000) and (ii) Advances outstanding at any time exceed
ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,750,000).
2.3. EFFECTIVENESS OF SALE TO BUYER. Effective upon Buyer's payment of
an Advance, and for and in consideration therefor and in consideration of the
covenants of this Agreement, Seller hereby absolutely sells, transfers and
assigns to Buyer, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to each
Purchased Receivable and all monies due or which may become due on or with
respect to such Purchased Receivable. Buyer shall be the absolute owner of each
Purchased Receivable. Buyer shall have, with respect to any goods related to
the Purchased Receivable, all the rights and remedies of an unpaid seller under
the California Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, including the
rights of replevin, claim and delivery, reclamation and stoppage in transit.
2.4. ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESERVE. Upon the purchase by Buyer of each
Purchased Receivable, Buyer shall establish a reserve. The reserve shall be the
amount by which the face amount of the Purchased Receivable exceeds the Advance
on that Purchased Receivable (the "Reserve"); provided, the Reserve with respect
to all Purchased Receivables outstanding at any one time shall be an amount not
less than 30(%) percent (or 20(%) percent on Purchased Receivables with terms of
----- -----

percentage at Buyer's sole discretion. The reserve shall be a book balance
maintained on the records of Buyer and shall not be a segregated fund.

checks and other items of payment received by Buyer (including proceeds of

applied by Buyer on account of the Obligations three (3) Business Days after
receipt by Buyer of immediately available funds. If Seller is in default under
this Agreement, Buyer shall apply all Collections to Seller's Obligations
hereunder in such order and manner as Buyer may determine. If an item of
collection is not honored or Buyer does not receive good funds for any reason,
the amount shall be included in the Account Balance as if the Collections had
not been received and Finance Charges under Section 3.2 shall accrue thereon.
3.2. FINANCE CHARGES. On each Reconciliation Date Seller shall pay to
Buyer a finance charge in an amount equal to 1.50(%) percent per month of the
-------
average daily Account Balance outstanding during the applicable Reconciliation
Period (the "Finance Charges"). Buyer shall deduct the accrued Finance Charges
from the Reserve as set forth in Section 3.5 below.

3.4. ACCOUNTING. Buyer shall prepare and send to Seller after the close
of business for each Reconciliation Period, an accounting of the transactions
for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Purchased
Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments and Finance Charges. The accounting
shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless Seller makes written objection to
Buyer within thirty (30) days after the Buyer mails the accounting to Seller.
3.5. REFUND TO SELLER. Provided that there does not then exist an Event
of Default or any event or condition that with notice, lapse of time or
otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, Buyer shall refund to Seller by
check after the Reconciliation Date, the amount, if any, which Buyer owes to
Seller at the end of the Reconciliation Period according to the accounting
prepared by Buyer for that Reconciliation Period (the "Refund"). The Refund
shall be an amount equal to:

Seller during that Reconciliation Period to the extent Buyer has agreed to
accept payment thereof by deduction from the Refund.
In the event the formula set forth in this Section 3.5 results in an amount due
to Buyer from Seller, Seller shall make such payment in the same manner as set
forth in Section 4.3 hereof for repurchases. If the formula set forth in this
Section 3.5 results in an amount due to Seller from Buyer, Buyer shall make such
payment by check, subject to Buyer's rights under Section 4.3 and Buyer's rights

demand, the full-face amount, or any unpaid portion, of any Purchased
Receivable:

time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, the excess shall be

in Section 5 with respect to all Collateral, and the right to collect, dispose
of, sell, lease, use, and realize upon all Purchased Receivables and all
Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner. Seller and Buyer agree that
any notice of sale required to be given to Seller shall be deemed to be
reasonable if given five (5) days prior to the date on or after which the sale
may be held. In the event that the Obligations are accelerated hereunder,
Seller shall repurchase all of the Purchased Receivables as set forth in Section
4.4.
11. ACCRUAL OF INTEREST. If any amount owed by Seller hereunder is not paid
when due, including, without limitation, amounts due under Section 3.5,
Repurchase Amounts, amounts due under Section 12, and any other Obligations,
such amounts shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the per annum rate
of the Finance Charges until the earlier of (i) payment in good funds or (ii)
entry of a final judgment thereof, at which time the principal amount of any
money judgment remaining unsatisfied shall accrue interest at the highest rate
allowed by applicable law.
12. FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. The Seller will pay to Buyer
immediately upon demand all fees, costs and expenses (including fees of
attorneys and professionals and their costs and expenses) that Buyer incurs or
may from time to time impose in connection with any of the following: (a)
preparing, negotiating, administering, and enforcing this Agreement or any other
agreement executed in connection herewith, including any amendments, waivers or
consents in connection with any of the foregoing, (b) any litigation or dispute
(whether instituted by Buyer, Seller or any other person) in any way relating to
the Purchased Receivables, the Collateral, this Agreement or any other agreement
executed in connection herewith or therewith, (c) enforcing any
Page 7
rights against Seller or any guarantor, or any Account Debtor, (d) protecting or
enforcing its interest in the Purchased Receivables or the Collateral, (e)
collecting the Purchased Receivables and the Obligations, and (f) the
representation of Buyer in connection with any bankruptcy case or insolvency
proceeding involving Seller, any Purchased Receivable, the Collateral, any
Account Debtor, or any guarantor. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer
harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, costs, expenses,
and liabilities of any nature whatsoever arising in connection with any of the
foregoing.
13. SEVERABILITY, WAIVER, AND CHOICE OF LAW. In the event that any
provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by reason of law, this Agreement
will be construed as not containing such provision and the remainder of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Buyer retains all of its
rights, even if it makes an Advance after an Event of Default. If Buyer waives
an Event of Default, it may enforce a later Event of Default. Any consent or
waiver under, or amendment of, this Agreement must be in writing. Nothing
contained herein, or any action taken or not taken by Buyer at any time, shall
be construed at any time to be indicative of any obligation or willingness on
the part of Buyer to amend this Agreement or to grant to Seller any waivers or
consents. This Agreement has been transmitted by Seller to Buyer at Buyer's
office in the State of California and has been executed and accepted by Buyer in
the State of California. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California.
14. LOCKBOX ACCOUNT COLLECTION SERVICES. Seller shall enter into a three
party agreement (the "Lockbox Agreement") with Buyer and a lockbox provider (the
"Lockbox Provider"). The Lockbox Agreement and Lockbox Provider shall be
acceptable to Buyer. Seller shall use the lockbox address as the payment
address on all invoices issued by Seller and shall direct all its Account
Debtors to remit their payments to the lockbox address. The Lockbox Agreement
shall provide that the Lockbox Provider shall remit all collections received in
the lockbox to Buyer. Upon Buyer's receipt of such collections, and provided
that there does not then exist an Event of Default or event that with notice,
lapse or time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, and subject to
Buyer's rights in the Collateral, Buyer agrees to remit promptly to Seller the
amount of the receivables collections it receives with respect to receivables
other than Purchased Receivables. It is understood and agreed by Seller that
this Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Buyer to do any act other
than to turn over such amounts. All such receivables and collections are
Collateral and in the event of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer shall have no
duty to remit collections of Collateral and may apply such collections to the
obligations hereunder and Buyer shall have the rights of a secured party under
the California Uniform Commercial Code.
15. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or
demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered
into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial
statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class
mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized
overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile to Seller or to Buyer, as the case may be, at its
addresses set above.
Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any other document related to this Agreement, until payment to
Buyer in full and performance of all Obligations, each Seller irrevocably waives
all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation,
any law subrogating the Seller to the rights of Buyer under this Agreement) to
seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any
other Seller, or any other entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily
liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Seller with
respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement 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 Seller with
respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any
agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement
prohibited under this Section 16 shall be null and void. If any payment is made
to a Seller in contravention of this Section 16, such Seller shall hold such
payment in trust for Buyer and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Buyer
for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
Waivers of Notice. Each Seller 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 Seller or of any other
fact that might increase the Seller's risk; presentment for payment; demand;
protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices
and demands to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled. Each Seller waives
any defense arising from any defense of any other Seller, or by reason of the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Seller.
Buyer's failure at any time to require strict performance by any Seller of any
provision of this Agreement shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of
Buyer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing
contained herein shall prevent
Page 8
Buyer 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 Seller. Each Seller also waives any defense arising from any act or
omission of Buyer that changes the scope of the Seller's risks hereunder. Each
Seller hereby waives any right to assert against Buyer any defense (legal or
equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Seller individually may
now or hereafter have against another Seller or any other entity liable to
Seller with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever until the
Obligations are paid in full to Buyer.
Subrogation Defenses. Each Seller waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory
or common law rule that may permit a borrower to assert any defenses of a surety
or guarantor, or that may give a borrower the right to require a senior creditor
to marshal assets, and Seller agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses
or rights.
Right to Settle, Release. The liability of Seller 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 entity or secured by other
property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, or
rights, if any, which Seller may now or hereafter have against any other entity,
including another Seller, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
Without notice to any Seller and without affecting the liability of any Seller
hereunder, Buyer 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 Seller, (ii)
grant other indulgences to a Seller in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify
in any manner any documents, relating to the Obligations with respect to a
Seller, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property
securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Seller or any other entity, 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 entity who is now or may hereafter be liable with
respect to any of the Obligations.
16. JURY TRIAL. SELLER AND BUYER EACH HEREBY (a) WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL ON ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY; (b) RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING
WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT;
AND (c) REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER, HAS DETERMINED
FOR ITSELF THE NECESSITY TO REVIEW THE SAME WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.
17. TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement shall be for one (1)
year from the date hereof, and from year to year thereafter unless terminated in
writing by Buyer or Seller. Seller and Buyer shall each have the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
termination of this Agreement shall not affect Buyer's security interest in the
Collateral and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and this
Agreement shall continue to be effective, and Buyer's rights and remedies
hereunder shall survive such termination, until all transactions entered into
and Obligations incurred hereunder or in connection herewith have been completed
and satisfied in full.
18. TITLES AND SECTION HEADINGS. The titles and section headings used
herein are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this
Agreement.
19. OTHER AGREEMENTS. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not
adversely affect the rights of Buyer or any other division or affiliate of
Silicon Valley Bank under any other document, instrument or agreement. The
terms of such other documents, instruments and agreements shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement. In the event
of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any
other document, instrument or agreement between Seller on the one hand, and
Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank on the other
hand, Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion which provision shall apply.
Seller acknowledges specifically that any security agreements, liens and/or
security interests currently securing payment of any obligations of Seller owing
to Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank also secure
Seller's obligations under this Agreement, and are valid and subsisting and are
not adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. Seller further
acknowledges that (a) any collateral under other outstanding security agreements
or other documents between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate
of Silicon Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this Agreement
and (b) a default by Seller under this Agreement constitutes a default under
other outstanding agreements between Seller and Buyer or any other division or
affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank.
