Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Borrowing Certificate in substantially the form of 2 6 Schedule 2.1 hereto. In addition to the procedure set forth in the preceding sentence, Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon written instructions received from a Responsible Officer or without instructions if in Bank's discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1 to Borrower's deposit account. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations pursuant to this Agreement owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii) the Ex-Im Committed Line, at the option of Bank, (i) Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess, or (ii) Borrower shall furnish additional collateral to Bank in form and amount satisfactory to Bank and Ex-Im Bank. 2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

Except as specified to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Obligations under this Agreement shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to One Half Percentage Point (0.5%) above the Prime Rate. (b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the rate that applied immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default. (c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each calendar month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against Borrower's deposit account or against the Ex- Im Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. (d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased contemporaneously with such change by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 2.4 Crediting Payments. The receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally 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 Bank 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 Bank after 11:00 a.m. California time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following fees: (a) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees.

In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof); or (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, Bank; or (c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to their performance under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof.

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all of Bank's security interest in all of the Collateral and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full, and no termination shall impair any right or remedy of Bank, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any Obligation to Bank until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. 2.8 Use of Proceeds.

Borrower shall not use the proceeds of the Advances for any purpose prohibited by the Borrower Agreement. 3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Advance.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Ex-Im Bank shall have a right to: (i) direct Bank to exercise the remedies specified in section 9.1 and (ii) request that Bank accelerate the maturity of any other loans to Borrower as to which Bank has a right to accelerate. 9.3 Ex-Im Notification. Bank shall have the right to immediately notify Ex-Im Bank in writing if it has knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) any failure to pay any amount due under this Loan Agreement or the Note; (2) the Borrowing Base is less than the sum of outstanding Advances hereunder; (3) any failure to pay when due any amount payable to Bank by the Borrower under any loan(s) extended by Bank to Borrower; (4) the filing of an action for debtor's relief by, against, or on behalf of Borrower, or (5) any threatened or pending material litigation against Borrower, or any material dispute involving Borrower. In the event that it sends such a notification to Ex-Im Bank, Bank shall have the right to thereafter send Ex-Im Bank a written report on the status of the events covered by said notification on 8 12 each Business Day which occurs every thirty (30) calendar days after the date of said notification, until such time as Bank files a claim with Ex-Im Bank or said default or other events have been cured. Bank shall not have any obligation to make any Advances following said notification to Ex-Im Bank, unless Ex-Im Bank gives its written approval thereto. If directed to do so by Ex-Im Bank, Bank shall have a right promptly to exercise any rights it may have against Borrower to demand the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents. 9.4 Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 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 default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable. 10.2 Bank's Liability for Inventory.
