such award or statement of decision.
(h) In the event that punitive damages are permitted under Applicable State
Law, the award of the arbitrator or the statement of decision of the
referee may provide for recovery of punitive damages provided that the

Applicable State Law. Any such punitive damages shall not exceed a sum
equal to three times the amount of actual damages as determined by the
arbitrator or referee.
(i) The arbitrator shall have the power to award or the referee shall have

collateral, by power of sale or otherwise or (c) to obtain or oppose provisional
or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or
during the pendency of the Arbitration or Reference. The exercise of, or

Arbitration or Reference pursuant to this Agreement.
5. FINAL, BINDING AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT. Any court of competent
jurisdiction shall, upon the petition of any Party, confirm the award of the
arbitrator and enter judgment in conformity therewith. Any court of competent

which are found not subject to this Agreement, the Parties agree to stay the

Borrower Address 2290 COSMOS CT., CARLSBAD, CA. 92009 Office 40061 Loan Number 9449886233 0004000000
Maturity Date SEPTEMBER 15, 1998 Amount
$6,000,000.00
=================================================================================================================================
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA $6,000,000.00 Date__________
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on September 15, 1998, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises
to pay to the order of Union Bank of California, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated
below, the principal sum of SIX MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), or
so much thereof as is disbursed, together with interest on the balance of such
principal from time to time outstanding, at the per annum rate or rates and at
the times set forth below.
1. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Debtor shall pay interest on the Fifteenth day of each
month (commencing May 15, 1997). Should interest not be paid when due, it shall
become part of the principal and bear interest as herein provided. All
computations of interest under this note shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days, for actual days elapsed.
a. BASE INTEREST RATE. At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder in
increments of at least $10,000 shall bear interest at a rate, based on an
index selected by Debtor, which is 1.75% per annum in excess of Bank's
LIBOR-Rate for the Interest Period selected by Debtor.
Any Base Interest Rate may not be changed, altered or otherwise modified
until the expiration of the Interest Period selected by Debtor. The
exercise of interest rate options by Debtor shall be as recorded in Bank's
records, which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amount borrowed
under either interest option and the interest rate; provided, however, that
failure of Bank to make any such notation in its records shall not
discharge Debtor from its obligations to repay in full with interest all
amounts borrowed. In no event shall any Interest Period extend beyond the
maturity date of this note.
To exercise this option, Debtor may, from time to time with respect to
principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate is not accruing, and on
the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to principal outstanding
on which a Base Interest Rate has been accruing, select an index offered by
Bank for a Base Interest Rate Loan and an Interest Period by telephoning an
authorized lending officer of Bank located at the banking office identified
below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any Business Day and advising
that officer of the selected index, the Interest Period and the Origination
Date selected (which Origination Date, for a Base Interest Rate Loan based
on the LIBOR-Rate, shall follow the date of such selection by no more than
two (2) Business Days).
Bank will mail a written confirmation of the terms of the selection to
Debtor promptly after the selection is made. Failure to send such
confirmation shall not affect Bank's rights to collect interest at the rate
selected. If, on the date of the selection, the index selected is
unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves the
right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding any
Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.
b. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. All principal outstanding hereunder which is not
bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Reference Rate, which rate shall vary as and when the
Reference Rate changes.
-1-
17
At any time prior to the maturity of this note, subject to the provisions of
paragraph 4. below, of this note, Debtor may borrow, repay and reborrow hereon
so long as the total outstanding at any one time does not exceed the principal
amount of this note. Debtor shall pay all amounts due under this note in lawful
money of the United States at Bank's SAN DIEGO COMMERCIAL BANKING Office, or
such other office as may be designated by Bank, from time to time.
2. LATE PAYMENTS. If any payment required by the terms of this note shall remain
unpaid ten days after same is due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall pay a fee
of $100 to Bank.
3. INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT. In the event of default, at the option of
Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the
outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to five percent
(5%) in excess of the interest rate specified in paragraph 1.b, above,
calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable under this note
are paid in full.
4. PREPAYMENT.
a. Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a rate based on
the Reference Rate may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without
penalty or premium. Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at
a Base Interest Rate may only be prepaid, in whole or in part provided Bank
has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of
an intention to make such prepayment and Debtor pays a prepayment fee to
Bank in an amount equal to the present value of the product of: (i) the
difference (but not less then zero) between (a) the Base Interest Rate
applicable to the principal amount which Debtor intends to prepay, and (b)
the return which Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such prepayment
of principal to purchase at bid price regularly quoted securities issued by
the United States having a maturity date most closely coinciding with the
relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and such securities were held by Bank
until the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate"); (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the date
of prepayment and the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and the denominator
of which is 360; and (iii) the amount of the principal so prepaid (except
in the event that principal payments are required and have been made as
scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid,
then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount prepaid or (B) 50% of
the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of principal scheduled
under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid to be
outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date). Present value under
this note is determined by discounting the above product to present value
using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor.
b. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund to
Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim against
Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under the above prepayment
formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if no prepayment
had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on
the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied to payment of interest
before application to principal. A determination by Bank as to the
prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive.
c. Such prepayment fee, if any, shall also be payable if prepayment occurs
as the result of the acceleration of the principal of this note by Bank
because of any default hereunder. If, following such acceleration, all or
any portion of a Base Interest Rate Loan is satisfied, whether through sale
of property encumbered by any security agreement or other agreement
securing this note, at a foreclosure sale held thereunder or through the
tender of payment at any time following such acceleration, but prior to
such a foreclosure sale, then such satisfaction shall be deemed an evasion
of the prepayment conditions set forth above, and Bank shall, automatically
and without notice or demand, be entitled to receive, concurrently with
such satisfaction the prepayment fee set forth above, and the amount of
such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal. DEBTOR HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BANK WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN TO DEBTOR
EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE WITHOUT DEBTOR'S AGREEMENT, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO
PAY BANK A PREPAYMENT FEE UPON THE SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF
THE PRINCIPAL BEARING INTEREST AT A BASE INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING THE
ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT. DEBTOR HAS
CAUSED THOSE PERSONS SIGNING THIS NOTE ON ITS BEHALF TO SEPARATELY INITIAL
THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW:

5. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT. "See Addendum "A", consisting
of two (2) pages, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing under this note are not
paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Bank in the collection or enforcement of
this note. Debtor and any endorsers of this note, for the maximum period of time
and the full extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence, presentment, demand,
notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b)
waive the right to assert the defense of any statute of limitations to any debt
or obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of time for
the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is signed by more
than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and any
successors in interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and
several. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse may be had
against the separate property of that person for any obligations hereunder. The
receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not
be considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit
of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest
under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed collected. In any action
brought under or arising out of this note, Debtor and any Obligor, including
their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any
competent court within the State of California, as provided in any alternative
dispute resolution agreement executed between Debtor and Bank, and consent to
service of process by any means authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank"
includes, without limitation, any holder of this note. This note shall be

==================================================================================================================================
$2,000,000.00 Date_________
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on SEPTEMBER 15, 2000, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises
to pay to the order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated
below, the principal sum of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), or
so much thereof as is disbursed, together with interest on the balance of such
principal from time to time outstanding, at the per annum rate or rates and at
the times set forth below.
1. PAYMENTS.
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Principal shall be payable in 36 equal consecutive
monthly instalments, each instalment in an amount sufficient to fully amortize
the principal balance by the final maturity date, beginning OCTOBER 15, 1997,
and continuing on the 15th day of each consecutive month. The availability under
this note shall be reduced on the same day and in the same amount as each
scheduled principal payment.
INTEREST PAYMENTS. Debtor shall pay interest on the 15th day of each MONTH
(commencing MAY 15, 1997). Should interest not be paid when due, it shall become
part of the principal and bear interest as herein provided. All computations of
interest under this note shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for
actual days elapsed.
a. BASE INTEREST RATE. At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder in
increments of at least $10,000 shall bear interest at a rate, based on an
index selected by Debtor, which is 2.00% per annum in excess of Bank's
LIBOR-Rate for the Interest Period so selected by Debtor.
Any Base Interest Rate may not be changed, altered or otherwise modified
until the expiration of the Interest Period selected by Debtor. The
exercise of interest rate options by Debtor shall be as recorded in Bank's
records, which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amount borrowed
under either interest option and the interest rate; provided, however, that
failure of Bank to make any such notation in its records shall not
discharge Debtor from its obligations to repay in full with interest all
amounts borrowed. In no event shall any Interest Period extend beyond the
maturity date of this note.
To exercise this option, Debtor may, from time to time with respect to
principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate is not accruing, and on
the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to principal outstanding
on which a Base Interest Rate has been accruing, select an index offered by
Bank for a Base Interest Rate Loan and Interest Period by telephoning an
authorized lending officer of Bank located at the banking office identified
below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any Business Day and advising
that officer of the selected index, Interest Period and the Origination
Date selected (which Origination Date, for a Base Interest Rate Loan based
on the LIBOR-Rate, shall follow the date of such election by no more than
two (2) Business Days).
Bank will mail a written communication of the terms of the selection to
Debtor promptly after the selection is made. Failure to send such
confirmation shall not affect Bank's rights to collect interest at the rate
selected. If, on the date of the selection, the index selected is
unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves the
right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding any
Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.
b. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. All principal outstanding hereunder which is not
bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate shall bear interest at a rate per
annum of 0.35% in excess of the Reference Rate, which rate shall vary as
and when the Reference Rate changes.
-1-
23
Debtor shall pay all amounts due under this note in lawful money of the
United States at Bank's SAN DIEGO COMMERCIAL BANKING Office, or such other
office as may be designated by Bank, from time to time.
2. LATE PAYMENTS. If any payment required by the terms of this note shall remain
unpaid ten days after same is due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall pay a fee
of $100 to Bank.
3. INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT. In the event of default, at the option of
Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the
outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to five percent
(5%) in excess of the interest rate specified in paragraph 1.b, of this note,
calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable under this note
are paid in full.
4. PREPAYMENT.
a. Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a rate based on
the Reference Rate may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without
penalty or premium. Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at
a Base Interest Rate may only be prepaid, in whole or in part provided Bank
has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of
an intention to make such prepayment and Debtor pays a prepayment fee to
Bank in an amount equal to the present value of the product of: (i) the
difference (but not lass than zero) between (a) the Base Interest Rate
applicable to the principal amount which Debtor intends to prepay, and (b)
the return which Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such prepayment
of principal to purchase at bid price regularly quoted securities issued by
the United States having a maturity date most closely coinciding with the
relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and such securities were held by Bank
until the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate"); (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the date
of prepayment and the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and the denominator
of which is 360; and (iii) the amount of the principal so prepaid (except
in the event that principal payments are required and have been made as
scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid,
then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount prepaid or (B) 50% of
the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of principal scheduled
under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid to be
outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date). Present value under
this note is determined by discounting the above product to present value
using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor.
b. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund to
Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim against
Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under the above prepayment
formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if no prepayment
had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on
the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied to payment of interest
before application to principal. A determination by Bank as to the
prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive. In the event of partial
prepayment, such prepayments shall be applied to principal payments in the
inverse order of their maturity.
c. Such prepayment fee, if any, shall also be payable if prepayment occurs
as the result of the acceleration of the principal of this note by Bank
because of any default hereunder. If, following such acceleration, all or
any portion of a Base Interest Rate Loan is satisfied, whether through sale
of property encumbered by any security agreement or other agreement
securing this note, at a foreclosure sale held thereunder or through the
tender of payment at any time following such acceleration, but prior to
such a foreclosure sale, then such satisfaction shall be deemed an evasion
of the prepayment conditions set forth above, and Bank shall, automatically
and without notice or demand, be entitled to receive, concurrently with
such satisfaction the prepayment fee set forth above, and the amount of
such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal. DEBTOR HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BANK WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN TO DEBTOR
EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE WITHOUT DEBTOR'S AGREEMENT, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO
PAY BANK A PREPAYMENT FEE UPON THE SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF
THE PRINCIPAL BEARING INTEREST AT A BASE INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING THE
ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT. DEBTOR HAS
CAUSED THOSE PERSONS SIGNING THIS NOTE ON ITS BEHALF TO SEPARATELY INITIAL
THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW:
INITIALS:

5. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT See Addendum "A", consisting of
two (2) pages, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing under this note are not
paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Bank in the collection or enforcement
of this note. Debtor and any endorsers of this note, for the maximum period of
time and the full extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence, presentment,
demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and notice of every
kind; (b) waive the right to assert the defense of any statute of limitations to
any debt or obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of
time for the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is signed
by more than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and
any successors in interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and
several. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse may be had
against the separate property of that person for any obligations hereunder. The
receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not
be considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit
of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest
under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed collected. In any action
brought under or arising out of this note, Debtor and any Obligor, including
their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any
competent court within the State of
-2-
24
California, as provided in any alternative dispute resolution agreement executed
between Debtor and Bank, and consent to service of process by any means
authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes, without limitation,
any holder of this note. This note shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of California. This note hereby incorporates
any alternative dispute resolution agreement previously, concurrently or
hereafter executed between Debtor and Bank.
7. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings
respectively set forth below: "BASE INTEREST RATE" shall mean a rate of interest
based on the LIBOR-Rate. "BASE INTEREST RATE LOAN" shall mean amounts
outstanding under this note that bear interest at a Base interest Rate. "BASE
RATE MATURITY DATE" shall mean the last day of the Interest Period with respect
to principal outstanding under a Base interest Rate Loan. "BUSINESS DAY" shall
mean a day which is not a Saturday or Sunday on which Bank is open for business
in the state identified in paragraph 6, above, and, with respect to the rate of
interest based on the LIBOR-Rate, on which dealings in U.S. dollar deposits
outside of the United States may be carried on by Bank. "INTEREST PERIOD" shall
mean with respect to funds bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBOR-Rate,
any calendar period of one, three, six, nine or twelve months. In determining an
Interest Period, a month means a period that starts on one Business Day in a
month and ends on and includes the day preceding the numerically corresponding
day in the next month. For any month in which there is no such numerically
corresponding day, then as to that month, such day shall be deemed to be the
last calendar day of such month. Any Interest Period which would otherwise end
on a non-Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless that
is the first day of a month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on
the next preceding Business Day. "LIBOR RATE" shall mean a per annum rate of
interest (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which
dollar deposits, in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the
United States would be offered to Bank, outside of the United States, for a term
coinciding with the Interest Period selected by Debtor and for an amount equal
to the amount of principal covered by Debtor's interest rate election, plus
Bank's costs, including the cost, if any, of reserve requirements. "ORIGINATION
DATE" shall mean the Business Day on which funds are made available to Debtor
relating to Debtor's selection of a Base Interest Rate. "REFERENCE RATE" shall
mean the rate announced by Bank from time to time at its corporate headquarters
as its "Reference Rate." The Reference Rate is an index rate determined by Bank
from time to time as a means of pricing certain extensions of credit and is
neither directly tied to any external rate of interest or index nor necessarily
the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank at any given time.

a. BASE INTEREST RATE. At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder in

unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves the
right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding any
Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.

the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of principal scheduled
under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid to be
outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date). Present value under
this note is determined by discounting the above product to present value
using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor.
b. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund to
Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim against
Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under the above prepayment
formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if no prepayment
had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on
the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied to payment of interest
before application to principal. A determination by Bank as to the
prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive. In the event of partial
prepayment, such prepayments shall be applied to principal payments in the
inverse order of their maturity.
c. Such prepayment fee, if any, shall also be payable if prepayment occurs
as the result of the acceleration of the principal of this note by Bank
because of any default hereunder. If, following such acceleration, all or
any portion of a Base Interest Rate Loan is satisfied, whether through sale
of property encumbered by any security agreement or other agreement
securing this note, at a foreclosure sale held thereunder or through the
tender of payment at any time following such acceleration, but prior to
such a foreclosure sale, then such satisfaction shall be deemed an evasion
of the prepayment conditions set forth above, and Bank shall, automatically
and without notice or demand, be entitled to receive, concurrently with
such satisfaction the prepayment fee set forth above, and the amount of
such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal. DEBTOR HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BANK WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN TO DEBTOR
EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE WITHOUT DEBTOR'S AGREEMENT, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO
PAY BANK A PREPAYMENT FEE UPON THE SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF
THE PRINCIPAL BEARING INTEREST AT A BASE INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING THE
ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT. DEBTOR HAS
CAUSED THOSE PERSONS SIGNING THIS NOTE ON ITS BEHALF TO SEPARATELY INITIAL
THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW:

6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing under this note are not
paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Bank in the collection or enforcement of
this note. Debtor and any endorsers of this note, for the maximum period of time
and the full extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence, presentment, demand,
notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b)
waive the right to assert the defense of any statute of limitations to any debt
or obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of time for
the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is signed by more
than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and any
successors in interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and
several. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse may be had
against the separate property of that person for any obligations hereunder. The
receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not
be considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit
of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest
under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed collected. In any action
brought under or arising out of this note, Debtor and any Obligor, including
their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any
competent court within the State of
-2-

California, as provided in any alternative dispute resolution agreement executed
between Debtor and Bank, and consent to service of process by any means
authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes, without limitation,
any holder of this note. This note shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of California. This note hereby incorporates
any alternative dispute resolution agreement previously, concurrently or
hereafter executed between Debtor and Bank.
7. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings
respectively set forth below: "BASE INTEREST RATE" shall mean a rate of interest
based on the LIBOR-Rate. "BASE INTEREST RATE LOAN" shall mean amounts
outstanding under this note that bear interest at a Base Interest Rate. "BASE
RATE MATURITY DATE" shall mean the last day of the Interest Period with respect
to principal outstanding under a Base Interest Rate Loan. "BUSINESS DAY" shall
mean a day which is not a Saturday or Sunday on which Bank is open for business
in the state identified in paragraph 6, above, and, with respect to the rate of
interest based on the LIBOR-Rate, on which dealings in U.S. dollar deposits
outside of the United States may be carried on by Bank. "INTEREST PERIOD" shall
mean with respect to funds bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBOR-Rate,
any calendar period of one, three, six, nine or twelve months. In determining an
Interest Period, a month means a period that starts on one Business Day in a
month and ends on and includes the day preceding the numerically corresponding
day in the next month. For any month in which there is no such numerically
corresponding day, then as to that month, such day shall be deemed to be the
last calendar day of such month. Any Interest Period which would otherwise end
on a non-Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless that
is the first day of a month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on
the next preceding Business Day. "LIBOR RATE" shall mean a per annum rate of
interest (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which
dollar deposits, in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the
United States would be offered to Bank, outside of the United States, for a term
coinciding with the Interest Period selected by Debtor and for an amount equal
to the amount of principal covered by Debtor's interest rate election, plus
Bank's costs, including the cost, if any, of reserve requirements. "ORIGINATION
DATE" shall mean the Business Day on which funds are made available to Debtor
relating to Debtor's selection of a Base Interest Rate. "REFERENCE RATE" shall
mean the rate announced by Bank from time to time at its corporate headquarters
as its "Reference Rate." The Reference Rate is an index rate determined by Bank
from time to time as a means of pricing certain extensions of credit and is
neither directly tied to any external rate of interest or index nor necessarily
the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank at any given time.

during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any judgment, writ,

payable; provided, however, upon the occurrence of a default under (f) or (g),
all principal and interest shall automatically become immediately due and
