follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
--------------------------
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The
term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document. This Agreement shall be construed to
impart upon Bank a duty to act reasonably at all times.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
-------------------------
2.1 Credit Extensions.
Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

Line, minus (ii) the Cash Management Services Sublimit, minus (iii) the amount
of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters
of Credit), minus (iv) the ACH Sublimit, minus (v) the outstandings under the
outstanding SCS transactions. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid
and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or
telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be
made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the
Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit A. Bank will credit Advances to
Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based
on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without

due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes
is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss
Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity
Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit.
Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower's account
not exceeding (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the Advances minus the Cash Management Sublimit; however,
the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed
$1,000,000. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180
days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower's reimbursement obligation
will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the
Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank.

the last day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts
including Account Number 0600592670 for principal and interest payments owing or

counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely

-----------------
Any one of the following is an Event of Default:
7.1 Payment Default.
If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 days after their
due date. During the 3 day period the failure to cure the default is not an
Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);
7.2 Covenant Default.

covenant in Section 6 or does not perform or observe any other material term,
condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement
between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under a term, condition or
covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10 days after it
occurs, or if the
9
default cannot be cured within 10 days or cannot be cured after Borrower's
attempts within 10 day period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable
time, then Borrower has an additional period (of not more than 30 days) to

default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during
the cure period);
7.3 Material Adverse Change.

seizure or levy is not removed in 10 days, or if Borrower is enjoined,
restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its
business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material portion of
Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against
any of Borrower's assets by any government agency and not paid within 10 days
after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if
a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but no Credit Extensions will be
made during the cure period);
7.5 Insolvency.
If Borrower becomes insolvent or if Borrower begins an Insolvency
Proceeding or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not
dismissed or stayed within 30 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before
any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);
7.6 Other Agreements.
If there is a default in any agreement between Borrower and a third party
that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding
$100,000 or that could cause a Material Adverse Change;
7.7 Judgments.
If a money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $50,000 is rendered
against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 10 days (but no Credit
Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or
7.8 Misrepresentations.
If Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any material
misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or
representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or to
induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.
8 BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
--------------------------
8.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or
demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event
of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due
and payable without any action by Bank); and
10
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
8.2 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
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. 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.
8.3 Demand Waiver.
Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, 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.

9.2 Subrogation and Similar Rights.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or
in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to
the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution,
indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or
any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the
Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents 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 Borrower with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or
11
otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any
other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.2 shall be null and void. If
any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 9.2, such
Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be
promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured
or unmatured.
9.3 Waivers of Notice.
Each Borrower 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 Borrower or of any other fact
that might increase the Borrower's risk; presentment for payment; demand;
protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices
and demands to which the Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower
waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason
of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other
Borrower. Bank's failure at any time to require strict performance by any
Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or
diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank 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
Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission
of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower's risks hereunder. Each Borrower
hereby waives any right to assert against Bank any defense (legal or equitable),
setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may now or
hereafter have against another Borrower or any other Person liable to Borrower
with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever.
9.4 Subrogation Defenses.
Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment or
destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and
waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under California
Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2850, 2899 and 3433 and
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those
statutory provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended, and under any
other similar statutes now and hereafter in effect.
9.5 Right to Settle, Release.
(a) The liability of Borrowers 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 Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any
release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, or rights, if any, which
Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another
Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b) Without notice to any Borrower and without affecting the liability of
any Borrower hereunder, Bank 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

10 CHOICE OF LAW , VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
-------------------------------------------
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Orange County, California.

OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
11 GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
11.1 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any
rights under it without Bank's prior written consent which may be granted or
withheld in Bank's discretion. Bank has the right, without the consent of or
notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all
or any part of, or any interest in, Bank's obligations, rights and benefits
under this Agreement.
11.2 Indemnification.
Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its officers,
employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and
liabilities asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses

between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement merge into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.
11.6 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, constitute one Agreement.
13
11.7 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 11.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all
statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
11.8 Confidentiality.
In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same
degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but
disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or affiliates
in connection with their business 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 considers appropriate 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.
11.9 Attorneys' Fees, Costs and Expenses.
In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of the
