such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an
aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed (i) the Committed Revolving Line or
the Borrowing Base, whichever is less, minus (ii) the face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts

Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in

Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a
designee of 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

this Agreement, Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit

(including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit

Dollars ($500,000). Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later

without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection
with any Letters of Credit.
(c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a

demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat
such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof

against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten

shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve for so long as such Letter of
Credit remains outstanding.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the
amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.1 and
2.1.2 of this Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Committed
Revolving Line or (ii) 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 Credit Extensions shall bear interest, on the average daily balance
thereof, at a per annum rate equal to ONE (1.0) percentage point above the
Prime Rate.
9

interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal

___________________ for payments of principal and interest due on the
Obligations and any other amounts owing by Borrower to Bank. Bank will notify
Borrower of all debits which Bank has made against Borrower's accounts. Any
such debits against Borrowers accounts in no way shall be deemed a set-off. 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, whether directed to
Borrower's deposit account with Bank or to the Obligations or otherwise, shall
be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be
considered a payment in respect of the Obligations 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 Pacific 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.

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):

deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against

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,
among other loans, the Obligations, 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.

hereby grants Bank a license to enter 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;
(f) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to

(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public
sale, or at any private sale as permitted by law; and

and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably

Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The
appointment of Bank as Borrower's
19
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.

the continuance 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

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.

this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not expressly set
forth herein 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.

hereof between Borrower and Bank (as amended, modified or supplemented from
time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Loan Agreement") the principal

Borrower, and Bank or any holder hereof.
In the event Bank or any holder hereof shall retain or engage an
attorney to collect, enforce or protect its interests with respect to this
Note, Borrower shall pay all of the reasonable costs and expenses of such
