Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Committed Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base. For purposes of this Agreement, "Borrowing Base" shall mean an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of Eligible Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. California time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon 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 shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1 to Borrower's deposit account. The Revolving Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1 and all other amounts outstanding under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable. 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to Bank is greater than the lesser of the Committed Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. 2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations. (a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), any Advances shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to two and one-half (2.5) percentage points 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 interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default. (c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the fourth calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower's deposit accounts or against the Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then 8 12 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 effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is changed, 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. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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 payment is of immediately available federal funds 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 payment (other than a wire transfer of immediately available funds) received by Bank after 3:00 p.m. California time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following: (a) Facility Fee. A Facility Fee equal to Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500), which fee shall be due on the Closing Date and shall be fully earned and nonrefundable; (b) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Bank's customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for Bank's audits of Borrower's Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial analysis and explanation of Borrower performed from time to time by Bank or its agents; (c) Bank Expenses. Upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and, after the date hereof, all Bank Expenses upon delivery of an invoice therefor. 2.6 Additional Costs. 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); (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 its performance under this Agreement, 9 13 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. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such Cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank's calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any such amount attributable to any period prior to the date one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of such certificate. 2.7 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Advances under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination, Bank's Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (excluding Obligations under Section 2.6 and 12.2 to the extent they remain inchoate at the time outstanding payment obligations are paid in full) are outstanding. 3.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower: (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower 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, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable; (d) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; (e) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank; (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit; (g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable; 18 22 (h) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and (i) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. 9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and Bank's obligation to provide Advances hereunder is terminated. 9.3 Accounts Collection. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit. 9.4 Bank Expenses.

Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement. 9.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with its obligations under Section 9207 of the Code, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.

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.

GENERAL PROVISIONS 12.1 Successors and Assigns. (a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank's sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in 20 24 all or any part of, or any interest in Bank's obligations, rights and benefits hereunder, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.1. (b) Bank may sell, negotiate or grant participations to other financial institutions in all or part of the obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the Loan Documents, without notice to or the approval of Borrower; provided that any such sale, negotiation or participation shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state securities laws and the other requirements of this Section 12.1. Notwithstanding the sale, negotiation or grant of participations, Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Bank in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (c) The grant of a participation interest shall be on such terms as Bank determines are appropriate, provided only that (1) the holder of such a participation interest shall not have any of the rights of Bank under this Agreement except, if the participation agreement so provides, rights to demand the payment of costs of the type described in Section 2.6. provided that the aggregate amount that the Borrower shall be required to pay under Section 2.6 with respect to any ratable share of the Committed Line or any Advance (including amounts paid to participants) shall not exceed the amount that Borrower would have had to pay if no participation agreements had been entered into, and (2) the consent of the holder of such a participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Agreement other than those which (i) increase the amount of the Committed Line, (ii) extend the term of this Agreement, (iii) decrease the rate of interest or the amount of any fee or any other amount payable to Bank under this Agreement, (iv) reduce the principal amount payable under this Agreement, or (v) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or any other amount payable under this Agreement. (d) Bank may assign, from time to time, all or any portion of the Committed Line to an Affiliate of Bank or to The Federal Reserve Bank or, subject to the prior written approval of Borrower (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), to any other financial institution; provided, that (i) the amount of the Committed Line being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than $400,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $200,000 and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Borrower an assignment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to each. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective date specified in such assignment agreement (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than pursuant to this Section 12.1(d)), and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or the remaining portion of Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, Bank shall cease to be a party hereto. In the event of an assignment hereunder, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect the mechanical changes which are necessary to document such assignment. Each party shall bear its own expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs) with respect to such an amendment. 12.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential from or to transactions between Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 21 25 12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement. 12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 12.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Financing Statements executed by the Borrower for the benefit of Bank and filed with the California Secretary of State shall remain in full force and effect. 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, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 12.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (excluding Obligations under Section 2.6 and 12.2 to the extent they remain inchoate at the time the outstanding payment Obligations are paid in full) remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run, provided that so long as the obligations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 12.7 have been satisfied, and Bank has no commitment to make any Advances or to make any other loans to Borrower, Bank shall release all security interests granted hereunder and redeliver all Collateral held by it in accordance with applicable law. 12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may deem appropriate in the exercise of its remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination, copying or making extracts of, or discussions of: any document, information or other matter (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information (provided that the terms of agreements that generate Accounts shall not be deemed to be "non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information"), or (ii) in respect to which disclosure to Bank (or designated representative) is then prohibited by (a) law, or (b) an agreement binding upon Borrower or any Subsidiary that was not entered into by Borrower or such Subsidiary for the primary purpose of concealing information from Bank. 22 26 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
