2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Advances.
(a) Equipment Advances. Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees, at any time from the date hereof
through the Facility Availability Date, to make Equipment Advances to Borrower
in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Committed Line minus the aggregate
amount of all outstanding Leasehold Advances. Prior to or on the date of each
Equipment Advance, Borrower shall provide invoices and other documents as
requested by Bank, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Bank,
demonstrating that the Equipment Advance (i) shall be used to finance or
refinance, as the case may be, Eligible Equipment, and (ii) shall not exceed one
hundred percent (100%) of the cost of such Eligible Equipment, excluding any and
all installation, freight or warranty expenses or sales taxes, and (iii) that no
more than twentyfive percent (25%) of the value of any such Eligible Equipment
for each Equipment Advance is comprised of software licenses, taxes, freight,
installation, or other soft costs. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section
2.1(a) may not be reborrowed once repaid.
(b) Leasehold Advances. Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees, at any time from the date hereof
through the Facility Availability Date, to make Leasehold Advances to Borrower
in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Committed Line minus the aggregate
amount of all outstanding Equipment Advances. Prior to or on the date of the
initial Leasehold Advance, Borrower shall provide Bank a copy of its final
Leasehold Improvements budget. Each Leasehold Advance (i) shall be used to
finance Leasehold Improvements, and (ii) shall not exceed one hundred percent
(100%) of the cost of such Leasehold Improvements. Amounts borrowed pursuant to
this Section 2.1(b) may not be reborrowed once repaid.
(c) Procedures. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance,
Borrower shall notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than
3:00 p.m. California time, one (1) Business Day before the day on which the
Advance is requested to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly
confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer and, as to an
Equipment Advance, include a copy of the invoice for the Eligible Equipment to
be financed. 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.
(c) Interest and Principal. Interest shall accrue
from the date of each Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall
be payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month through the month in which
the Facility Availability Date falls. 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 applicable hereunder. Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
7
becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue
interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All Equipment Advances that are
outstanding on the Facility Availability Date will be payable in thirty-six (36)
equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, on the Payment
Date for each month through the Equipment Maturity Date. All Leasehold Advances
that are outstanding on the Facility Availability Date will be payable in
eighty-four (84) equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest,
on the Payment Date for each month through the Leasehold Maturity Date.
(d) Maturity. The Equipment Facility shall terminate
on the Equipment Maturity Date, at which time all Obligations owing under the
Equipment Facility shall be immediately due and payable. The Leasehold Facility
shall terminate on the Leasehold Maturity Date, at which time all Obligations
owing under this Section 2.1 and all other amounts under this Agreement shall be
immediately due and payable.
2.2 Prepayment Fee. In the event Borrower prepays, in whole or
in part, any outstanding obligations hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Bank,
concurrently with such payment, a prepayment fee commensurate with interest rate
protection, as assessed by Bank, under the fixed rate option set forth in
Section 2.3(a). Borrower agrees that such fee is compensation to the Bank for
lost profits in connection with such prepayment and does not constitute a
penalty. Bank's determination of such amount shall be made by Bank in good
faith, in its sole discretion, and shall be deemed correct absent manifest
error.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section
2.3(b) and subject to the following sentence, all outstanding Advances shall
bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate. Except as set forth in
Section 2.3(b), Borrower shall have a one-time option as to the Advances
outstanding on the Facility Maturity Date, to elect that all outstanding
Advances shall bear interest at a rate equal to three and one-tenth (3.10)
percentage points above the thirty-six (36) month, and eighty-four (84) month,
Treasury Note Yield to maturity for the Equipment Facility and the Lease
Facility, respectively, as such rate is quoted by Bank. Such fixed rate option,
once elected, shall continue for the term of the Equipment Facility and
Leasehold Facility, respectively.
(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 Payment Date 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
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
8
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 wire
transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon 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) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Bank's
customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for each appraisal of Collateral and
financial analysis and examination of Borrower performed from time to time by
Bank or its agents; and
(b) 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, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.6 Additional Costs. In case any change in 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), in each case after the date of this Agreement:
(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,
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

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to
Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and
all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of
its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the
Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security
interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid,
first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof,
in each case, to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement or, in the case of Collateral
consisting of instruments, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities,
to the extent that Bank takes possession of such Collateral. Bank agrees to
execute and deliver to Borrower from time to time agreements to subordinate its
Lien as Borrower may request and as are necessary to give to other lenders which
finance new Equipment
10
for Borrower a first priority security interest in the new Equipment financed so
long as the Liens and the Indebtedness incurred with respect to such Equipment
financing are permitted under this Agreement.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Borrower
shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all
Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank
may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue
perfected Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers,
employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from
time to time during Borrower's usual business hours, to inspect Borrower's Books
and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in
order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Oualification. Borrower and each
Subsidiary is a corporation duly existing and in good standing under the laws of
its state of incorporation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and is
in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.
5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery,
and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been
duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor
will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which
Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound; except to the extent that
certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the assignment of the rights
thereunder to a third party without the Borrower's or other party's consent and
the Loan Documents constitute an assignment. Borrower is not in default under
any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which default
could have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 No Prior Encumbrances. Borrower has good and indefeasible
title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
5.4 Merchantable Inventory. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects.
5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as
disclosed in the Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other
than that specified on the signature page hereof. The chief executive office of
Borrower is located at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof.
5.6 Intellectual Property. Borrower is the sole owner of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by
Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of the
Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no
claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral
violates the rights of any third party. Except for and upon the filing with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office with respect to the Patents and
Trademarks and the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights
necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder, and except as has
been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by,
and no notice to or filing with, any United States
11
governmental authority or United States regulatory body is required either (i)
for the grant by Borrower of the security interest granted hereby or for the
execution, delivery or performance of Loan Documents by Borrower in the United
States or (ii) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Bank
of its rights and remedies hereunder.
5.7 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are
no actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary
before any court or administrative agency in which an adverse decision could
have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on Borrower's
interest or Bank's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower does not have
knowledge of any such pending or threatened actions or proceedings.
5.8 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All
consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that
have been delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower's consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There
has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank.
5.9 Solvency. The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets
(including good will minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its
liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its
debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.10 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower and each Subsidiary has
met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee
benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower's
failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's
incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is
not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not
engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulations G, T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System). Borrower has complied with all the provisions of the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws,
ordinances or rules applicable to it, violation of which could have a Material
Adverse Effect.
5.11 Environmental Condition. None of Borrower's or any
Subsidiary's properties or assets has ever been used by Borrower or any
Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous owners or
operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or
transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance
with applicable law; to the best of Borrower's knowledge, none of Borrower's
properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner
pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or
hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any
environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental
protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal
property owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the
Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state or other
governmental agency concerning any action or omission by Borrower or any
Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise disposing of hazardous waste
or hazardous substances into the environment.
5.12 Taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused
to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and has paid, or has made
adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein.

partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for
Permitted Investments.
5.14 Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary has
obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or
filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are
necessary for the continued operation of Borrower's business as currently
conducted.
5.15 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other
statement made by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to
Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such
certificates or statements not misleading.

Adverse Effect.

cause each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with
respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower shall comply,
and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all statutes, laws, ordinances

which could have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the
Collateral or the priority of Bank's Lien on the Collateral.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. 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

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

(d) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make
such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to

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
18
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, 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, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations
in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(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; (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; (f) to modify, in its
sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into
between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower's approval of or
signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C,
thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in
any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution
hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any
Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims any
right, title or interest; (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; and (h)
to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank or a
third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial
Code; 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 performed and Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
19
9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time from the date of this
Agreement, 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. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or
furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the
following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such
reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank
from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any
action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. 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. Bank shall
have a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Intellectual Property
Collateral to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Bank to exercise its
rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
9.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies
with reasonable banking practices, 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. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.6 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. No waiver by Bank
shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank
and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 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.
