CREDIT FACILITIES
2.1 THE LINE OF CREDIT
2.1.1 The Line of Credit: On terms and conditions as set forth herein,
the Bank agrees to make Advances in Dollars or in Alternate
Currency to the Borrowers from time to time from the date hereof
to the Expiration Date, provided the aggregate amount of such
Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed $10,000,000.00 or
the equivalent in Alternate Currency (the "Line of Credit").
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow, partially
or wholly prepay, and reborrow under this Section 2.1. Proceeds of
the Line of Credit shall be used for general working capital
purposes.
-6-
2.1.2 Making Line Advances: Each Advance under the Line of Credit shall
be conclusively deemed to have been made at the request of and for
the benefit of the Borrowers (i) when credited to any deposit
account of any of the Borrowers maintained with the Bank or (ii)
when paid in accordance with the Borrowers' written instructions.
Subject to the requirements of Section 4, Advances shall be made
by the Bank upon telephonic or facsimile request received from the
Borrower, which request shall be received not later than 12:00
p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on the date specified for a Variable
Rate Advance, as hereinafter defined, and 11:00 a.m. (Pacific
Standard Time) two business days prior to the date specified for a
Eurocurrency Advance or a Cost of Funds Advance, as hereinafter
defined, each of which dates shall be a Business Day. The rates
for a Eurocurrency Advance or a Cost of Funds Advance shall be set
on the same Business Day as the request is received if received by
11:00 a.m. and on the next Business Day if received after 11:00
a.m.. Requests for Advances received after such time may, at the
Bank's option, be deemed to be a request for an Advance to be made
on the next succeeding Business Day for a Variable Rate Advance
and the third succeeding Business Day for a Eurocurrency Advance
or a Cost of Funds Advance.
2.1.3 Repayment: On the Expiration Date, each Borrower hereby jointly
and severally promises and agrees to pay to the Bank in full the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then
outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. provided, however, that any Advance denominated in
Dollars must be repaid in Dollars and any Advance denominated in
an Alternate Currency must be repaid in the same Alternate
Currency.
2.1.4 Interest on Advances: Interest shall accrue from the date of each
Advance under the Line of Credit at one of the following rates, as
quoted by the Bank and as elected by the Borrowers hereinbelow:
(i) Variable Rate Advances: For Advances denominated in Dollars,
a variable rate per annum equivalent to an index for a
variable interest rate which is quoted, published or
announced from time to time by the Bank as its reference
rate (the "Reference Rate") and as to which loans may be
made by the Bank at, below or above such Reference Rate (the
"Variable Rate"). Interest shall be adjusted concurrently
with any change in the Reference Rate. An Advance which
bears interest at the Variable Rate is hereinafter referred
to as a "Variable Rate Advance".
(ii) Eurocurrency Advances: For Advances denominated in Dollars
or in Alternate Currency, a fixed rate quoted by the Bank
for one, three, six, nine or twelve months or for such other
period of time that the Bank may quote and offer (provided
that any such period of time does not extend beyond the
Expiration Date) [the "Eurocurrency Interest Period"] for
Advances in the minimum amount of $100,000 and in $100,000
increments thereafter. Such interest rate shall be a
percentage, rounded upward to the nearest one-hundredth of
one percent, equivalent to the Bank's Eurocurrency Rate for
Dollars or such Alternate Currency plus the Applicable
Margin which is that rate determined by the Bank's Treasury
Desk as being the approximate rate at which the Bank could
purchase offshore Dollar deposits or Alternate Currency
deposits in an amount approximately equal
-7-
to the amount of the relevant Advance and for a period of
time approximately equal to the relevant Eurocurrency
Interest Period (adjusted for any and all assessments,
surcharges and reserve requirements pertaining to the
purchase by the Bank of such Alternate Currency deposits
[the "Eurocurrency Rate"]. An Advance which bears interest
at the Eurocurrency Rate is hereinafter referred to as the
"Eurocurrency Advance".
(iii) Cost of Funds Advances. For Advances denominated in Dollars,
the Bank hereby agrees to make Advances to the Borrower, at
Borrower's election, at a fixed rate quoted by Bank in its
sole discretion for each Advance (the "Cost of Funds Rate")
plus the Applicable Margin and for such period of time that
the Bank may quote and offer, provided that any such period
of time does not extend beyond the Expiration Date (the
"Cost of Funds Interest Period") for Advances in the minimum
amount $100,000 and in $100,000 increments thereafter.
Advances based upon the Cost of Funds Rate are hereinafter
referred to as "Cost of Funds Advances". The Bank shall
provide the Borrower with a statement of the Borrower's Cost
of Funds Rate, which statement shall be considered to be
correct and conclusively binding on the Borrower unless the
Borrower notifies the Bank to the contrary within 30 days
after the Borrower's receipt of any such statement which it
deems to be incorrect.
Eurocurrency Advances and Cost of Funds Advances are sometimes
hereinafter referred to as a "Fixed Rate Advance".
Interest on Variable Rate Advances and Cost of Funds Advances
shall be paid in Dollars in monthly installments commencing on the
first day of the month following the date of the first such
Advance and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter.
Interest on any Eurocurrency Advance shall be paid on the last day
of the Eurocurrency Interest Period pertaining to such
Eurocurrency Advance and shall be paid in Dollars or in the
relevant Alternate Currency as the case may be. Each Borrower
further jointly and severally promises and agrees to pay the Bank
interest on any Eurocurrency Advance with an Eurocurrency Interest
Period in excess of 90 days on a quarterly basis (i.e., on the
last day of each 90-day period occurring in such Eurocurrency
Interest Period) and on the last day of the relevant Eurocurrency
Interest Period.
If interest is not paid as and when it is due, it shall be added
to the principal, become and be treated as a part thereof, and
shall thereafter bear like interest.
2.1.5 Notice of Election to Adjust Interest Rate: The Borrowers may
elect that interest on a Fixed Rate Advance shall continue to
accrue at a newly quoted Eurocurrency Rate or Cost of Funds Rate;
provided, however, that such notice shall be received by the Bank
no later than 11:00 a.m. two business days prior to the last day
of the Eurocurrency Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Advance and

Funds Interest Period for a Cost of Funds Advance. Such notice may

original of such writing deposited in the US mail or with

liability to any Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice
referred to above that the Bank believes in good faith to have
been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized
to act on behalf of any Borrower and upon any borrowing,
Redenomination or continuation by the Bank in accordance with this
Agreement pursuant to any telephonic notice, each Borrower shall
have effected the borrowing, redenomination or continuation of
Advances hereunder. The Borrowers may elect that interest on a
Fixed Rate Advance shall accrue at the Variable Rate; provided,
however, that such notice shall be received by the Bank no later
than one business day prior to the last day of the Interest Period
pertaining to such Fixed Rate Advance, and provided further,
however, that such Fixed Rate Advance shall be in Dollars or
Redenominated in Dollars pursuant to the terms hereinbelow. If the
Bank shall not have received notice (as prescribed herein) of
Borrowers' election that interest on any Fixed Rate Advance shall
continue to accrue at the newly quoted Eurocurrency Rate or Cost
of Funds Rate or Variable Rate as the case may be, the Borrowers
shall be deemed to have elected that interest thereon shall be
adjusted to accrue at the Variable Rate then in effect and any
Alternate Currency shall be Redenominated in Dollars.
2.1.6 Redenomination of Advances: The Borrowers may, upon notice given
to the Bank at least four Business Days prior to the date of the
proposed Redenomination, request that a Eurocurrency Advance be
Redenominated from Dollars into an Alternate Currency or from an
Alternate Currency into Dollars or another Alternate Currency;
provided, however, that any Redenomination shall be made on, and
only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Advances.
Each such notice of request of a Redenomination ( "Notice of
Redenomination") shall be by telecopier, telex or cable, confirmed
immediately in writing, or may be by telephone if confirmed in
writing by telecopy with the original of such writing deposited in
the US mail or with an air courier on the same day, and the Bank
shall not incur any liability to any Borrower in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that the Bank believes in good
faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other
person authorized to act on behalf of any Borrower and upon any
borrowing, Redenomination or continuation by the Bank in
accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any telephonic notice,
the Borrowers shall have effected the borrowing, redenomination or
continuation of Advances hereunder, specifying (i) the
Eurocurrency Advance(s) to be Redenominated, (ii) the date of the
proposed Redenomination, (iii) the Alternate Currency into which
such Advances are to be Redenominated, and (iv) the duration of
the Interest Period for such Advances upon being so Redenominated.
In the case of a Notice of Redenomination which requests a
Redenomination of Advances into an Alternate Currency, such
Redenomination is subject to confirmation by Bank not later than
the third Business Day before the requested date of such
Redenomination that such Bank agrees to such Redenomination. which
confirmation shall be notified to the Borrowers. If no
confirmation is provided the Redenomination will not occur. Each
Advance so requested to be Redenominated will be Redenominated, on
the date specified therefor in such Notice of Redenomination, into
an equivalent amount thereof in the currency requested in such
Notice of Redenomination, such equivalent amount to be determined
on such date in accordance with Section 2.7, and, upon being so
Redenominated, will have an initial Interest Period as requested
in such Notice of Redenomination.
-9-
2.1.7 Prepayment:
(i) The Borrowers may prepay any Advance in whole or in part, at
any time and without penalty, provided, however, that: (i)
any partial prepayment shall first be applied, at the Bank's
option, to accrued and unpaid interest and next to the
outstanding principal balance; and (ii) during any period of
time in which interest is accruing on any Advance on the
basis of the Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of Funds Rate, no
prepayment shall be made except on a day which is the last
day of the Interest Period pertaining thereto provided,
however, if the whole or any part of any Fixed Rate Advance
is prepaid by reason of acceleration or otherwise, the
Borrower shall jointly and severally upon the Bank's
request, promptly pay to and indemnify the Bank for all
costs and any loss actually incurred by the Bank, excluding
loss of profit on any margin, but including any loss
resulting from the re-employment of funds, sustained by the
Bank as a consequence of such prepayment, and provided
further, that any prepayment hereunder shall not be deemed
to be an event of default.
(ii) If, on the last day of any Interest Period, the equivalent
in Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of all
Eurocurrency Advances then outstanding when combined with
the aggregate principal amount of all Variable Rate Advances
and Cost of Funds Advances then outstanding exceeds the Line
of Credit, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally on such
last day prepay an aggregate principal amount of such
Advances to the Bank in an amount at least equal to such
excess, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment
on the principal amount prepaid.
(iii) The Bank shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its
Advances in any manner it may determine in its sole
discretion, but all calculations and transactions hereunder
shall be conducted as though the Bank actually funded all
Advances through the purchase of dollar deposits bearing
interest at the same rate as U.S. Treasury securities in the
amount of the relevant Advance and in maturities
corresponding to the date of such purchase to the Expiration
Date hereunder.
2.1.8 Indemnification for Eurocurrency Rate and Cost of Funds Rate

is accruing on the basis of the Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of
Funds Rate, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally, within 15
days of the Bank's written request, which request shall explain in
reasonable detail the reason for such costs or payments, promptly
pay to and reimburse the Bank for all costs incurred and payments
made by the Bank by reason of any future assessment, reserve,
deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee
imposed upon the Bank or as a result of the Bank's compliance with
any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority
pertaining or relating to the Alternate Currency or Dollars or
cost of funds used by the Bank in quoting and determining the
Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of Funds Rate under this Agreement.
Bank shall use its best efforts to provide Borrowers, in advance,
with an estimate of any such costs which may potentially be
incurred hereunder.
2.1.9 Eurocurrency Rate or Cost of Funds Rate Infeasible: In the event
that the Bank shall at any time determine that the accrual of
interest on the basis of the
-10-
Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of Funds Rate (i) is infeasible at
the time of any borrowing, continuation or Redenomination because
the Bank is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate or Cost of
Funds Rate due to the unavailability of Dollars or Alternate
Currency deposits, contracts or time deposits in an amount
approximately equal to the amount of the relevant Advance and for
a period of time approximately equal to relevant Interest Period
or (ii) is or has become unlawful or infeasible by reason of the
Bank's compliance with any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or
order, or any new interpretation of any present law, rule,
regulation, guideline or order, then the Bank shall give
telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers,
in which event such Fixed Rate Advance shall be immediately
prepaid but then may be converted or Redenominated into a Variable
Rate Advance at the election of the Borrowers.

Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify Bank against any
loss, cost or expense incurred by Bank as a result of any failure
to borrow on the date specified for such Fixed Rate Advance (other

such Advance), including, without limitation, any loss (excluding
loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by Bank to fund such Fixed Rate Advance to be made by
Bank when such Fixed Rate Advance is not made on such date.
2.1.11 Computations and Payments: Interest on any Advance shall be
computed on the basis of 360 days per year, but charged on the
actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest; provided, however, if such
extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurocurrency Advances to be made in the next following calendar
month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day.

Bank, provided that the Bank may refuse to issue a Letter of
Credit due to the nature of the transaction or its terms or in
connection with any transaction where the Bank, due to the
beneficiary or the nationality or residence of the beneficiary,
would be prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or order
from issuing such Letter of Credit.
(iv) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, but in no event
later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the day such Letter of
Credit is to be issued (which shall be a Business Day), the

reimburse the Bank for all costs incurred and payments made by the
Bank by reason of any future assessment, reserve, deposit or
similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee imposed upon the
Bank or as a result of the Bank's compliance with any directive or
requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating to
any Letter of Credit. In the event that the Borrowers fail to pay
any drawing under any Letter of Credit or the balances in the
depository account or accounts maintained by the Borrowers with
Bank are insufficient to pay such drawing, without limiting the
rights of Bank hereunder or waiving any Event of Default caused
thereby, Bank may, and Borrowers hereby authorize the Bank to
create an Advance bearing interest at the rate or rates provided
in Section 9.2 hereof to pay such drawing.
2.3 ACCEPTANCE SUB-FACILITY
2.3.1 Acceptance Sub-Facility: The Borrowers may from time to time request the
Bank to accept one or more drafts drawn on the Bank for the account of
the Borrowers (each an "Acceptance") of up to $5,000,000. At no time,
however, shall the total principal balance of all Acceptances
outstanding, together with the total face amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit less any partial draws paid by the Bank, exceed the
sum of $10,000,000.00 and, together with the total principal balance of

each such Acceptance shall be governed hereby and the Borrowers restate
all warranties and representations made by the Borrower herein as if made
on the date of the Request and on the date that the Acceptance is
created.
(ii) Acceptances. Each Acceptance shall be created upon a Request by the
Bank's acceptance of a draft in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank (each a "Draft"). Each Draft shall: (i) be drawn on the Bank by or
on behalf or for the account of the Borrowers in accordance with the
provisions hereof ; (ii) have a minimum face amount of $100,000.00; (iii)

transaction or the underlying domestic shipment; (ii) not, together with
all other Acceptances relating to any such shipment, have an aggregate
face amount exceeding the CIF value of such shipment; and (iii) not be

Acceptance is created, the goods being stored are covered by a warehouse
receipt issued by a bonded warehouse independent of the Borrowers and
acceptable to the Bank; (ii) the goods covered by the warehouse receipt
are readily marketable staples (as such term is defined in Section 13 of
the Federal Reserve Act by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or by Federal Reserve Bulletins) held pending a reasonably
immediate sale, distribution or shipment; and (iii) the face amount of
the Acceptance relating to such goods does not exceed the fair market
value of the goods.
(iii) Acceptance Liability. The Borrowers are obligated, and hereby
unconditionally promise and agree, to pay the Bank, on the maturity date
of each Acceptance or on such earlier date as may be required pursuant
hereto, the face amount of each such Acceptance.
(iv) Acceptance Commissions. The Borrowers agree, upon acceptance by the Bank
of each Draft and as a condition precedent to such Acceptance, to pay to
the Bank a fee (the "Commission") in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of
the face amount of each Acceptance calculated on the basis of 360 days
per year for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) during the period which is for the term of the
Draft.
-13-
(v) Discount of Acceptances. The Bank agrees to discount any
Acceptance that is created and presented to it for discount at
a rate quoted by the Bank at the time the Acceptance is
presented to the Bank for discount and for a similar dollar
amount and a similar maturity as the Draft being presented to
the Bank by the Borrowers for acceptance (the "Acceptance
Discount Rate"). On the date any such Acceptance is presented
for discount, the Bank shall: (i) cause the aggregate
discounted amount (less any Commission then payable by the
Borrowers to the Bank hereunder) to be made available to the
Borrowers by crediting such amount to the Borrowers' demand
deposit account maintained with the Bank, and (ii) advise the
Borrowers of the Acceptance Discount Rate at which the Bank
discounted such Acceptance. The Bank shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to sell, rediscount, hold or otherwise
deal with or dispose of any such Acceptance discounted by it.

secured by a security interest in the goods (as defined in the
California Uniform Commercial Code) involved in the transaction
out of which the Acceptance arose to the extent that such a
security interest is either required by the Bank or in order
that the relevant Acceptance conform to the requirements of
Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act.

or as a result of the Bank's compliance with any directive or
requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating
to any Acceptance. Bank shall use its best efforts to provide
Borrowers, in advance, with an estimate of any such costs which
may potentially be incurred hereunder.
2.4 FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUB-FACILITY
2.4.1 Foreign Exchange Sub-Facility: The Bank agrees to enter into FX
Transactions with the Borrowers, at the Borrowers' request therefor

Liability combined with the total face amount of all Letters of Credit
outstanding, less any partial draws paid by the Bank, together with
the total principal balance of all Acceptances outstanding, together
with the total principal amount of all outstanding Advances, exceed
the Line of Credit. Each FX Transaction shall be used to hedge the
Borrowers' foreign exchange exposure.

requested Foreign Currency, or (3) the Bank would be
prohibited by any applicable law, rule, regulation or order

that the Borrowers fail to pay the settlement price of any FX
Transaction on the Settlement Date or the balances in the
depository account or accounts maintained with Bank are

requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating
to any FX Transaction. Bank shall use its best efforts to
provide Borrowers, in advance, with an estimate of any such
costs which may potentially be incurred hereunder.
(vi) Impossibility of Performance. In the event that the Borrowers
or the Bank cannot perform under a FX Transaction due to force
majeure or an act of State or it becomes unlawful or
impossible to perform, all in the good faith judgement of the
Borrowers or the Bank, then upon notice to the other party,
the Borrowers or the Bank may require the close-out and
liquidation of the affected FX Transaction in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement

under the Equipment Purchase Facility at one of the following rates, as
quoted by the Bank and as elected by the Borrowers pursuant to Subsection
(i) or Subsection (ii) or Subsection (iii) below:
(i) Variable Rate Advances: A variable rate per annum equivalent to the
----------------------
Reference Rate (the "Variable Rate"). Interest shall be adjusted
concurrently with any change in the Reference Rate. An Advance
based upon the Variable Rate is hereinafter referred to as a
"Variable Rate Advance".
(ii) Fixed Rate Advances: A fixed rate per annum quoted by the Bank for

for Advances in the minimum amount of $100,000.00. Such interest
rate shall be a percentage approximately equivalent to the
Applicable Margins plus the rate which the Bank determines in its
sole and absolute discretion to be equal to the Bank's cost of
acquiring funds (adjusted for any and all assessments, surcharges
and reserve requirements pertaining to the borrowing or purchase by
the Bank of such funds) in an amount approximately equal to the
amount of the relevant Advance and for a period of time
approximately equal to the relevant Interest Period (the "Fixed
Rate"). Advances based upon the Fixed Rate are hereinafter referred
to as "Fixed Rate Advances".
(iii) LIBOR Advances: A fixed rate quoted by the Bank for one week, 1, 2,

quote and offer (provided that any such period of time does not
extend beyond the Expiration Date) (the "LIBOR Interest Period")
for Advances in the minimum amount of $100,000.00. Such interest
rate shall be a percentage approximately equivalent to the
Applicable Margin plus the Bank's LIBOR Rate which is that rate
determined by the Bank's Treasury Desk as being the arithmetic mean

or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior
to the first days of such period (adjusted for any and all
assessments, surcharges and reserve requirements) (the "LIBOR

referred to as a "LIBOR Advance".
Interest on any Advance shall be computed on the basis of 360 days per
year, but charged on the actual number of days elapsed.
Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally promises and agrees to pay
interest in arrears on Variable Rate Advances on the last calendar day of
each month.
Interest on any LIBOR Advance or Fixed Rate Advance with a LIBOR Interest
Period or Interest Period of 3 months or less shall be paid on the last
day of the LIBOR Interest Period or Interest Period as the case may be.
The Borrowers further promise and agree to pay the Bank interest on any
LIBOR Advance or Fixed Rate Advance with a LIBOR Interest Period or
Interest Period in excess of 3 months on a quarterly basis (i.e., on the
last day of each 3 month period occurring in such LIBOR Interest Period
or Interest Period) and on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period or
Interest Period.
If interest is not paid as and when it is due, it shall be added to the
principal, become and be treated as a part thereof, and shall thereafter
bear like interest.
2.5.6 Notice of Borrowing: Upon written notice which shall be received by the
Bank at or before 2:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day, the
Borrowers may borrow under the Equipment Purchase Facility by requesting:

continue to accrue at the newly quoted Fixed Rate as the case may
be the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that interest
thereon shall be adjusted to accrue at the Variable Rate upon the
expiration of the relevant Interest Period pertaining to such
Advance.
(iv) That (i) interest on a Fixed Rate Advance shall accrue at a newly
quoted LIBOR Rate or (ii) interest on a LIBOR Advance shall
continue to accrue at a newly quoted Fixed Rate or LIBOR Rate or
shall be adjusted to commence to accrue at the Variable Rate;
provided, however, that such notice shall be received by the Bank
no later than two Business Days prior to the last day of the

quoted Fixed Rate pursuant to subparagraph (c) hereinabove; or (y)
any LIBOR Advance shall continue to accrue at the newly quoted
Fixed Rate or LIBOR Rate as the case may be, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have elected that interest thereon shall be adjusted to
accrue at the Variable Rate upon the expiration of the relevant
Interest Period or LIBOR Interest Period pertaining to such
Advance.
2.5.8 Prepayment: The Borrowers may prepay any Advance in whole or in part, at
any time and without penalty, provided, however, that: (i) any partial
prepayment shall first be applied at the Bank's option, to accrued and
unpaid interest and next to the outstanding principal balance; and (ii)
during any period of time in which interest is accruing on any Advance on
the basis of the LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate, no prepayment shall be made
except on a day which is the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period or
Interest Period pertaining thereto. if the whole or any part of any LIBOR
Advance or Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid by reason of acceleration or
otherwise, the Borrower shall jointly and severally upon the Bank's
request, promptly pay to and indemnify the Bank for all costs and any
loss actually incurred by the Bank, excluding loss of profit on any
margin, but including any loss resulting from the re-employment of funds,
sustained by the Bank as a consequence of such prepayment, and provided
further, that any prepayment hereunder shall not be deemed to be an event
of default.
The Bank shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Advances in
any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, but all calculations
and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though the Bank actually
funded all Advances
-18-
through the purchase of dollar deposits bearing interest at the same
rate as U.S. Treasury securities in the amount of the relevant Advance
and in maturities corresponding to the date of such purchase to the
Expiration Date hereunder.
2.5.9 Indemnification for LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate Costs: During any period of
time in which interest on any Advance is accruing on the basis of the
LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate, the Borrowers shall, within 15 days of the
Bank's written request, promptly pay to and reimburse the Bank for all
costs incurred and payments made by the Bank by reason of any future
assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge,
tax or fee imposed upon the Bank or as a result of the Bank's compliance
with any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining
or relating to funds used by the Bank in quoting and determining the
LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate. Bank shall use its best efforts to provide
Borrowers, in advance, with an estimate of any such costs which may
potentially be incurred hereunder.
2.5.10 Conversion from LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate to Variable Rate: In the event
that the Bank shall at any time determine that the accrual of interest
on the basis of the LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate (i) has become infeasible
because the Bank is unable to determine the LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate due
to the unavailability of U.S. Dollar deposits, contracts or certificates
of deposit in an amount approximately equal to the amount of the
relevant Advance and for a period of time approximately equal to the
relevant LIBOR Interest Period or Interest Period as the case may be or
(ii) is or has become unlawful by reason of the Bank's compliance with
any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or any new
interpretation of any present law, rule, regulation guideline or order,
then the Bank shall promptly give telephonic notice thereof (confirmed
in writing) to the Borrowers, in which event any Advance bearing
interest at either the LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate as the case may be shall
be deemed to be a Variable Rate Advance and interest shall thereupon
immediately accrue at the Variable Rate and shall continue at such rate
until the Bank determines that the LIBOR Rate or Fixed Rate is no longer
infeasible or unlawful.
2.5.11 Term Loan Conversion: The Borrowers may, by giving written notice to the
Bank at any time and from time to time, convert the principal balance
outstanding under the Equipment Purchase Facility as of the Expiration
Date of Equipment Purchase Facility to be payable on a term loan basis.
The term loan (the "Term Loan") shall be in the amount of such
outstanding principal balance and be for a term of 60 months and shall
be evidenced by a promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to
the Bank (the "Equipment Term Note", attached hereto as Exhibit 1).
Accrued and unpaid interest under the Equipment Purchase Facility shall
be paid to the Bank concurrently with the Borrowers' execution of the
Term Note. In addition to the short term fixed rates not to exceed 12
months, the Borrower may fix the rate for the entire 60 month term loan
at a Cost of Funds plus 1.50% or a Federal Funds plus 1.50%. For the
Federal Funds Rate to apply a SWAP Agreement, which includes an ISDA
Master Agreement with schedule to the Separate Master Agreement and a
certified corporate resolution for such transaction, secured with a
blanket lien will be required. Interest shall accrue and principal and
interest shall be paid in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Term Note.

(viii) Borrower shall provide Bank with a written certification that
all the above conditions are in compliance and provide a
proforma cash flow schedule of acquired company with detail of

received after such time may, at the Bank's option, be deemed to be
a request for an Advance to be made on the next succeeding Business
Day for a Variable Rate Advance and the third succeeding Business
Day for a Eurocurrency Advance or a Cost of Funds Advance.
2.6.3 Repayment: On November 30, 1999, and on the Expiration Date, each
Borrower hereby jointly and severally promises and agrees to pay to
the Bank in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
Advances then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid

90 days on a quarterly basis (i.e., on the last day of each 90-day period
occurring in such Eurocurrency Interest Period) and on the last day of
the relevant Eurocurrency Interest Period.
If interest is not paid as and when it is due, it shall be added to the
principal, become and be treated as a part thereof, and shall thereafter
bear like interest.
2.6.5 Notice of Election to Adjust Interest Rate: The Borrowers may elect that
interest on a Fixed Rate Advance shall continue to accrue at a newly
quoted Eurocurrency Rate or Cost of Funds Rate; provided, however, that
such notice shall be received by the Bank no later than 11:00 a.m. two
business days prior to the last day of the Eurocurrency Interest Period
for a Eurocurrency Advance and 1:00 p.m. one business day prior to the
last day of a Cost of Funds Interest Period for a Cost of Funds Advance.
Such notice may be by telephone if confirmed in writing by telecopy with
the original of such writing deposited in the US mail or with an air

officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of any Borrower and
upon any borrowing, Redenomination or continuation by the Bank in

prescribed herein) of Borrowers' election that interest on any Fixed Rate
Advance shall continue to accrue at the newly quoted Eurocurrency Rate or
Cost of Funds Rate or Variable Rate as the case may be, the Borrowers
shall be deemed to have elected that interest thereon shall be adjusted
to accrue at the Variable Rate then in effect and any Alternate Currency
shall be Redenominated in Dollars.
2.6.6 Redenomination of Advances: The Borrowers may, upon notice given to the

and unpaid interest and next to the outstanding principal balance;
and (ii) during any period of time in which interest is accruing on
any Advance on the basis of the Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of
Funds Rate, no prepayment shall be made except on a day which is
the last day of the Interest Period pertaining thereto provided,

prepaid by reason of acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall
jointly and severally upon the Bank's request, promptly pay to and
indemnify the Bank for all costs and any loss actually incurred by
the Bank, excluding loss of profit on any margin, but including any
loss resulting from the re-employment of funds, sustained by the
Bank as a consequence of such prepayment, and provided further,
that any prepayment hereunder shall not be deemed to be an event of
default.

Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of all Eurocurrency
Advances then outstanding when combined with the aggregate
principal amount of all Variable Rate Advances and Cost of Funds
Advances then outstanding exceeds the Acquisition Line of Credit,
the Borrowers shall jointly and severally on such last day prepay
an aggregate principal amount of such Advances to the Bank in an
amount at least equal to such excess, with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.
(iii) The Bank shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its
Advances in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, but
all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as
though the Bank actually funded all Advances through the purchase
of dollar deposits bearing interest at the same rate as U.S.

maturities corresponding to the date of such purchase to the
Expiration Date hereunder.
2.6.8 Indemnification for Eurocurrency Rate and Cost of Funds Rate Costs:

request, which request shall explain in reasonable detail the reason for
such costs or payments, promptly pay to and reimburse the Bank for all
costs incurred and payments made by the Bank by reason of any future

or relating to the Alternate Currency or Dollars or cost of funds used
by the Bank in quoting and determining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost
of Funds Rate under this Agreement. Bank shall use its best efforts to
provide Borrowers, in advance, with an estimate of any such costs which
may potentially be incurred hereunder.

the Bank shall at any time determine that the accrual of interest on the
basis of the Eurocurrency Rate or the Cost of Funds Rate (i) is
infeasible at the time of any borrowing, continuation or Redenomination
because the Bank is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate or Cost of
Funds Rate due to the unavailability of Dollars or Alternate Currency
deposits, contracts or time deposits in an amount approximately equal to
the amount of the relevant Advance and for a period of time
approximately equal to relevant Interest Period or (ii) is or has become
unlawful or infeasible by reason of the Bank's compliance with any new
law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or any new interpretation of
any present law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, then the Bank

Borrowers, in which event such Fixed Rate Advance shall be immediately

day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided,
however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of Eurocurrency Advances to be made in the next following
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day.
2.6.12 Term Loan Conversion: The Borrowers may, by giving written notice to the
Bank at any time and from time to time, convert the principal balance
outstanding under the Acquisition Line of Credit to be payable on a term
loan basis. The term loan (the "Acquisition Term Loan") shall be in the
amount of such outstanding principal
-24-
balance and shall be for a period of 48 months and shall be
evidenced by a promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to
the Bank (the "Acquisition Term Note" attached as Exhibit 2).
Accrued and unpaid interest under the Acquisition Line of Credit
shall be paid to the Bank concurrently with the Borrowers' execution
of the Acquisition Term Note. In addition to the short term fixed
rates not to exceed 12 months, the Borrower may fix the rate for the
entire 48 month term loan at a Cost of Funds plus 1.50% or a Federal
Funds plus 1.50%. For the Federal Funds Rate to apply a SWAP
Agreement, which includes an ISDA Master Agreement with schedule to
the Separate Master Agreement and a certified corporate resolution
for such transaction, secured with a blanket lien will be required.
Interest shall accrue and principal and interest shall be paid in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Term Note.

Angeles time) two Business Days prior to the date on which such equivalent
is to be determined, (ii) the equivalent in any Alternate Currency of any
other Alternate Currency shall be determined by using the quoted spot rate
at which Bank's principal office in Los Angeles offers to exchange such
Alternate Currency for the equivalent in Dollars of such other Alternate
Currency at 9:00 A.M. (Los Angeles time) two Business Days prior to the
date on which such equivalent is to be determined, and (iii) the equivalent
in any Alternate Currency of Dollars shall be determined by using the
quoted spot rate at which Bank's principal office in Los Angeles offers to

time) two Business Days prior to the date on which such equivalent is to be
determined. Except as specified hereinabove, the equivalent in Dollars of

MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amounts Payable on Demand: If the Borrowers shall fail to pay on demand
any amount so payable under this Agreement, the Bank may, at its option
and without any obligation to do so and without waiving any default
occasioned by the Borrowers having so failed to pay such amount, create an
Advance under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount so payable,
which Advance shall thereafter bear interest as provided hereunder.
9.2 Default Interest Rate: If an Event of Default, or an event which, with
notice or passage of time could become an Event of Default, has occurred
or is continuing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank interest on any
Indebtedness or amount payable under this Agreement at a rate which is 3%
in excess of the rate or rates then in effect under this Agreement.
9.3 Reliance and Further Assurances: Each warranty, representation, covenant,
obligation and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be conclusively
presumed to have been relied upon by the Bank regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by the Bank and shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other warranties, representations,
-42-
covenants and agreements which any of the Borrowers now or hereafter shall
give, or cause to be given, to the Bank. The Borrowers agree to execute
all documents and instruments and to perform such acts as the Bank may
reasonably deem necessary to confirm and secure to the Bank all rights and
remedies conferred upon the Bank by this agreement and all other documents
related thereto.
9.4 No Guaranty or Surety: If any Borrower hereunder is deemed to be a surety
or guarantor due to its joint and several liability hereunder such
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees to
the matters set forth below:
(i) Each Borrower waives its rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification and contribution and any other rights and
defenses that are or may become available to such Borrower by
reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California
Civil Code and as they may be amended or superseded in the
future. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Borrower(s) arising from the Bank's election of a remedy on any
indebtedness under bankruptcy or other debtor relief laws or
under any other laws, including, but not limited to those
purporting to reduce the Bank rights against any Borrower in
proportion to the principal obligation of any indebtedness (as
presently contained in Section 2809 of the California Civil Code
and as it may be amended or superseded in the future).
(ii) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower
may have because the Borrower's debt is secured by real
property. This means, among other things:
(1) The Bank may collect from such Borrower without first
foreclosing on any real property or personal property
collateral pledged by the Borrower(s);
(2) If the Bank forecloses on any real property collateral
pledged by the Borrowers:
(i) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price
for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale,
even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.
(ii) The Bank may collect from the Borrower(s) even if the
Bank, by foreclosing on such real property collateral, has
destroyed any right such Borrower(s) may have to collect
from any other Borrower(s).
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the
Borrower(s) may have because the Borrowers' debt is secured by real property.
These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or
defenses based upon Sections 580 a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure.
(iii) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by the Bank, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to
security for the Borrowers' indebtedness, has destroyed such
Borrowers' rights of subrogation and
-43-
reimbursement against any other Borrower(s) by the operation of Section

preceding that on which final judgment is given.
The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original

following receipt by Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other
Currency Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase
Dollars with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency
so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Bank, the Borrower
