Borrower, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, equipment
advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and collectively the "Equipment Advances")
in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed Equipment Line. When repaid,
the Equipment Advances may not be re-borrowed. The proceeds of the Equipment
Advances will be used solely to reimburse Borrower for the purchase of Eligible
Equipment. Each Equipment Advance shall be considered a promissory note

(c) Bank's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Equipment
Line will terminate if, in Bank's sole discretion, there has been a material
adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation,
condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospects of Borrower, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, or there has been
any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of
Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this
Agreement.

Equipment Advances on the terms provided in the Loan Supplement Borrower will
make payments monthly in advance of principal and accrued interest for each
Equipment Advance (collectively, "Scheduled Payments"), on the first Business
Day of the month following the Funding Date (or commencing on the Funding Date
if the Funding Date is the first Business Day of the month) with respect to such
Equipment Advance and continuing thereafter during the Repayment Period on the
first Business Day of each calendar month (each a "Payment Date"), in an amount
equal to the Loan Factor multiplied by the Loan Amount for such Equipment
Advance as of such Payment Date. All unpaid principal and accrued interest is
due and payable in full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Equipment
Advance. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received
at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a

each Equipment Advance from the first Payment Date after the Funding Date of
such Equipment Advance until the Equipment Advance has been paid in full, at the
per annum rate of interest equal to the Basic Rate determined by Bank as of the
Funding Date for each Equipment Advance in accordance with the definition of the
Basic Rate. Any amounts outstanding during the continuance of an Event of
Default shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Basic Rate plus
five percent (5%). If any change in the law increases Bank's expenses or
decreases its return from the Equipment Advances, Borrower will pay Bank upon
request the amount of such increase or decrease.
(c) Interim Payment In addition to the Scheduled Payments, on the Funding Date
for each Equipment Advance (unless the Funding Date is the first Business Day of
the month) Borrower shall pay to Bank, on behalf of Bank, an amount (the
"Interim Payment") equal to the initial Equipment Advance multiplied by the
product of (i) the quotient derived from dividing the initial Loan Factor with
respect to such Equipment Advance by 30, and (ii) the number of days from the
Funding Date of the Equipment Advance until the first Payment Date with respect
to such Equipment Advance.

Event of Loss and Borrower is required to or elects to prepay the Equipment
Advance with respect to such Financed Equipment pursuant to Section 6.7, then

9.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of
Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and
payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit 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, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the
Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may
enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of
any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien
which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all
expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its
premises without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds,
or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower,
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale,
advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and
continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i)
endorse Borrowers name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii)
sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts
against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about
the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank
determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or
a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to
sign Borrower's name on
-13-
12
any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's
appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates.
9.3 Accounts Collection.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing
Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify the amount of
the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if
requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received
from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to
third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance
policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank
deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due
and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the
Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments
in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the
Code, it is not liable for (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss
or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral;
or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person.
Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement the Loan Documents, and all
other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under
the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one night or remedy is not an
election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.
Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective
unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand Waiver.
Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and
nonpayment notice of any default nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise,
settlement extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel
paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
