Agreement is an "account purchase transaction" as defined in Article 5069-1.14
of Vernon's Annotated Texas Statutes and the discount provided in Section 2.2
and all fees and charges under the terms of this Agreement are not and shall not
be deemed to be compensation contracted for , charged or received by Buyer for
the use, forbearance or detention of money.
14. Account Collection Services. Certain Account Debtors may require or
prefer that all of Seller's receivables be paid to the same address and/or
party, or Seller and Buyer may agree that all receivables with respect to
certain Account Debtors be paid to one party. In such event Buyer and Seller
may agree that Buyer shall collect all receivables whether owned by Seller or
Buyer 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
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.

AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT IT IS OTHERWISE GOVERNED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

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

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

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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Buyer have executed this Agreement on the day
and year above written.
