1. LOANS.
1.1 LOANS. Silicon will make loans to the Borrower (the "Loans") in
amounts determined by Silicon up to the amounts (the "Credit Limits") shown on
the Schedule to this Agreement (the "Schedule") as the Credit Limit for the
Loans. The terms of the Schedule are incorporated into this Agreement. The
Borrower is responsible for monitoring the total amount of Loans and other
Obligations outstanding from time to time, and the Borrower shall not permit
that amount, at any time, to exceed the applicable Credit Limit. If at any time
the total of all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the
applicable Credit Limit, the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the
excess to Silicon, without notice or demand.
1.2 INTEREST; DEBIT TO DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. All Loans and all other
monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable rates shown on the
Schedule hereto. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the due date shown on the
monthly billing from Silicon to the Borrower. The Borrower shall regularly
deposit all funds received from its business activities in accounts maintained
by the Borrower at Silicon. The Borrower hereby requests and authorizes Silicon
to debit any of the Borrower's accounts with Silicon, including without
limitation account no. 00000000-70, for payments of interest and principal due
on the Loans and all other obligations owing by the Borrower to Silicon. Silicon
shall promptly notify the Borrower of all debits which Silicon makes against the
Borrower's accounts. Any such debit against the Borrower's accounts shall in no
way be deemed a setoff by Silicon.
1.3 FEES. The Borrower shall pay to Silicon at closing a commitment
fee and other fees in the amounts shown on the Schedule (less any amounts
previously paid). These fees are in addition to all interest and other sums
payable to Silicon and are not refundable.
1.4 ADDITIONAL COSTS. In case any law, regulation, treaty or official
directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or any
governmental authority charged with the
Page 1 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any
central bank or other govern mentalauthority (whether or not having the force
of law):
(a) subjects Silicon to any tax with respect to payments of
principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by the Borrower or
otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes
on the overall net income of Silicon imposed by the United States of America or
any political subdivision thereof);
(b) imposes, modified 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, Silicon; or
(c) imposes upon Silicon 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 Silicon,
reduce the income receivable by Silicon or impose any expense upon Silicon with
respect to any loans, Silicon shall notify the Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees
to pay to Silicon 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 Silicon of a statement of the amount and
setting forth Silicon's calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which
statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. The statement,
which shall be signed by an authorized officer of Silicon, will also state that,
to the best of such officer's knowledge, a majority of Silicon's borrowers with
legal obligations to Silicon similar to the Borrower's obligations and in a
similar fact situation as the Borrower (as it relates to this Section 1.4) has
also received statements requesting payments under this Section.

amendments, supplements, and modifications of the foregoing. Provided that

parties in the ordinary course of the Borrower's business; provided that if the
Borrower proposes to sell, license or grant any other rights with respect to any

discretion,
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.
The Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and the
Borrower covenants that the following representations shall continue to be true,
and that the Borrower shall comply with all of the following covenants:

continue to be duly authorized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of Oregon. The Borrower is and shall continue to be qualified
and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so
would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower. The execution, delivery
and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents
contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized, are enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, and do not violate any law
or any provision of, and are not grounds for acceleration under, any agreement
or instrument which is binding upon the Borrower.

in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule
hereto are all prior names of the Borrower and all of the Borrower's present and
prior trade names. The Borrower shall give Silicon 15 days' prior written notice
before changing its name or doing business under any other name. The Borrower
has complied, and shall in the future comply, with all laws relating to the
conduct of business under a fictitious business name.
Page 3 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

Agreement. The Borrower shall give Silicon at least 15 days prior written notice
before changing its chief executive office or moving Collateral to any location
other than a location listed on the Schedule.
3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. The Borrower is now, and
shall at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral,

require, as a condition to its consent under subparagraph (v) above, that the
holder of the additional security interest or lien sign an intercreditor
agreement on terms satisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion, acknowledge
that the holder's security interest is subordinate to the security interest in
favor of Silicon, and that the Borrower agrees that any uncured default in any
obligation secured by the subordinate security interest shall also constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement. Silicon now has, and shall continue to
have, a first priority, perfected and enforceable security interest in all of
the Collateral. The Collateral shall not be subject to any other liens or
security interests of any type except for the Permitted Liens. The Borrower
shall at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of
others. None of the Collateral now is or shall be affixed to any real property

Collateral in good working condition. The Borrower shall not use the Collateral
for any unlawful purpose. The Borrower shall immediately advise Silicon in
writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.

3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND STATEMENTS. All financial statements now
or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and shall be, prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and now and in the
future shall completely and accurately reflect the financial condition of the
Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Since the last date
covered by any such statement, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition or business of the Borrower. The Borrower is now and shall
continue to be solvent. The Borrower shall provide Silicon: (i) within 20 days
after the end of each month, except as provided below, an accounts receivable
report and an accounts payable report, in such form as Silicon shall reasonably
specify; (ii) within 20 days after the end of each month, except as provided

Page 4 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
covenants set forth on the Schedule hereto, and certifying that throughout
such quarter the Borrower was in full compliance with all other terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Schedule, and providing such other

and contributions now or in the future owed by the Borrower. The Borrower may,
however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that the Borrower (i) in
good faith contests the Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate
proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies
Silicon in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or take any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. The Borrower is
unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of the Borrower's prior
tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by the
Borrower. The Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary
to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms. The Borrower has not and shall not
withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or

any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or
any other governmental agency.

or in any material impairment in the ability of the Borrower to carry on its
business in substantially the same manner as it is now being conducted. The
Borrower shall promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding,

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

4. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.
4.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. The Borrower shall at all times
comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule to this
Agreement.
4.2 OVERADVANCE; PROCEEDS OF ACCOUNTS. If for any reason the total
of all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the total Credit
Limit, as stated in the Schedule, without limiting Silicon's other remedies,
and whether or not Silicon declares an Event of Default, the Borrower shall
remit to Silicon all checks and other proceeds of the Borrower's accounts and
general intangibles, in the same form as received by the Borrower, within one
day after the Borrower's receipt of the same, to be applied to the
Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine in its discretion.
4.3 INSURANCE. The Borrower shall at all times insure all of the
tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business
insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Silicon, in such form and
amounts as Silicon may reasonably require. All such insurance policies shall
name Silicon as an additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss
payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of
the proceeds of any such insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in
reduction of the Obligations as Silicon shall determine in its sole and
absolute discretion, except that, provided no Event of Default has occurred,
Silicon shall release to the Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to
equipment totaling less than $1,000,000, which shall be utilized by the
Borrower for the replacement of the equipment with respect to which the
insurance proceeds were paid. Silicon may require reasonable
Page 6 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
assurance that the insurance proceeds so released shall be so used. If the
Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Silicon may, but is not
obligated to, obtain the same at the Borrower's expense. The Borrower shall
promptly deliver to Silicon copies of all reports made to insurance companies.
Statutory notice regarding insurance:
WARNING
Unless Borrower provides Silicon with evidence of the insurance
coverage as required by this Loan Agreement, Silicon may purchase insurance
at Borrower's expense to protect Silicon's interest. This insurance may, but
need not, also protect Borrower's interests. If the collateral becomes
damaged, the coverage Silicon purchases may not pay any claim Borrower makes
or any claim made against Borrower. Borrower may later cancel this coverage
by providing evidence that Borrower has obtained property coverage elsewhere.
Borrower is responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by
Silicon. The cost of this insurance may be added to Borrower's loan balance. If
the cost is added to Borrower's loan balance, the interest rate on the
underlying loan will apply to this added amount The effective date of coverage
may be the date Borrower's prior coverage lapsed or the date Borrower failed to
provide proof of coverage.
This coverage Silicon purchases may be considerably more expensive than
insurance Borrower can obtain on Borrower's own and may not satisfy any need for
property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements
imposed by applicable law.
4.4 REPORT. The Borrower shall provide Silicon with such written
reports with respect to the Borrower as Silicon shall from time to time
reasonably specify.
4.5 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. If Borrower utilizes
the Secured Accounts Receivable Line of Credit on a Formula Borrowing basis,
as defined in the Schedule, upon five business days' written notice, Silicon,
or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral, and the right
to audit and copy the Borrower's accounting books, records, ledgers,
journals, or registers and the Borrowers books and records relating to the
Collateral, provided that on and after an Event of Default the five business
day period referred to above shall be reduced to no notice. Silicon shall
take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information obtained in any
such inspection or audit in accordance with Silicon's standard business
practices regarding such information, but Silicon shall have the right to
disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies and
attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process. In the event
that Silicon is requested or required by oral questions, interrogatories,
requests for information or documents, subpoenas or other lawful, civil
investigative demand or similar process, to disclose any such confidential
information, Silicon agrees to notify Borrower of any such event or
circumstances in a timely manner. The foregoing audits shall be at Silicon's
expense, except that the Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for its reasonable
out of pocket costs for such accounts receivable audits in an amount not to
exceed $1,250 per audit. If Borrower is in compliance with all financial
covenants, Silicon shall not conduct more than one (1) such audit in each
calendar year. If Borrower is not in compliance with all financial covenants,
Silicon shall conduct no more than four (4) such audits in each calendar
year. (This shall not be construed as a waiver of any default created by a
failure to comply with the applicable financial covenants.) Silicon may debit
the Borrower's deposit accounts with Silicon for the cost of such audits, in
which event Silicon shall send notification thereof to the Borrower.
Page 7 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

hereto, the Borrower shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent, do
any of the following: (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation,
except that the Borrower may merge or consolidate with another corporation if
the Borrower is the surviving corporation in the merger and the aggregate
value of the assets acquired in the merger do not exceed 25% of the
Borrower's Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Schedule hereto) as of the
end of the month prior to the effective date of the merger, and the assets of
the corporation acquired in the merger are not subject to any liens or
encumbrances, except Permitted Liens; (ii) acquire any assets, including
stock of any other entity, outside the ordinary course of business for an
aggregate purchase price (whether paid in cash, in stock of the Borrower or
other consideration) exceeding 25% of the Borrower's Tangible Net Worth (as
defined in the Schedule hereto) as of the end of the month prior to the
effective date of the acquisition; (iii) enter into any other material
transaction outside the ordinary course of business (except as permitted by

satisfactory to Silicon, (vii) guarantee or otherwise become liable with
respect to the obligations of another party or entity; (viii) pay or declare
any dividends on the stock of the Borrower (except for dividends payable
solely in stock of the Borrower); (ix) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise

in the aggregate, resulting from a threatened claim or litigation against the
Borrower arising from the failure of the Borrower to comply with applicable
securities laws as it relates to the past sales of securities); (x) make any
change (other than changes specifically permitted under this Section) in the
Borrower's capital structure which has a material adverse effect on that
Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations; or (xi) dissolve
or elect to dissolve. Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of
this Section are only permitted if no Event of Default and no event which
(with notice or passage of time or both) would constitute an Event of Default
would occur as a result of such transaction.
4.7 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or proceeding
be instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or in any
manner relating to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon,
make available the Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and the
Borrower's books and records to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably
necessary in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.
4.8 VERIFICATION. Silicon may, from time to time, following seven
days' prior notification to the Borrower and consent of the Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), verify directly with the respective
account debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the
Borrower's accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the
name of the Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may reasonably
choose, provided that only one day prior notification shall be required (and the
Borrower's consent shall not be required) following an Event of Default. Silicon
shall be required to obtain the Borrower's consent as provided above prior to
any such verification of accounts unless an Event of Default has occurred.
Page 8 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
4.9 EXECUTE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION. The Borrower agrees, at its
expense, on request by Silicon, to execute from time to time all documents in

Collateral, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
5. TERM.
5.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until
the payment in full of the Obligations, provided, however, that the Borrower
shall repay in full the Secured Accounts Receivable Line of Credit described
on the Schedule, with all accrued but unpaid interest on that loan, not later
than the "Maturity Date" for each such loan set forth on the Schedule.
5.2 EARLY TERMINATION. Subject to Section 5.3, this Agreement may be
terminated, without penalty, prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by the
Borrower, effective three business days after written notice of termination is
given to Silicon; or (ii) by Silicon at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately.
5.3 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATION . On the due dates stated in the Schedule,
or on any earlier effective date of termination, the Borrower shall pay and
perform in full all Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or
otherwise, and whether or not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise
then due and payable. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all of
Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all
Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided that, without
limiting the fact that Loans are discretionary on the part of Silicon, Silicon
may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans after termination.

nor shall any such termination relieve the Borrower of any Obligation to
Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Upon
payment and performance in full of all the Obligations, Silicon shall promptly
deliver to the Borrower termination statements, requests for reconveyances and
such other documents as may be required to fully terminate any of Silicon's
security interests.

subordination agreement; or (l) the Borrower shall generally not pay its
debts as they become due; or the Borrower shall conceal, remove or transfer
any part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud its
creditors, or make or suffer any transfer of any of its property which may be
fraudulent under any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law; or (m)
either the Borrower or any other party thereto shall breach any subordination
agreement executed in connection with the Loans; or (n) there shall be a
change in the record or beneficial ownership of voting stock of the Borrower,
such that more than 20% of such voting stock is owned or controlled by a
person or entity who is not a shareholder of the Borrower as of the date of
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Silicon, PROVIDED it is
understood and agreed that, with respect to this clause (n), no Event of
Default shall arise if there is a change in the controlling interest of the
Borrower resulting from the consummation of a public offering or private
placement of shares of Borrower. Notwithstanding clause (k) above, provided
that there is no pending Event of Default at the time and that such payments
will not cause an Event of Default under the financial covenants stated in
the Schedule, the Borrower shall be permitted to make scheduled or
unscheduled payments on the Borrower's subordinated indebtedness outstanding
as of the date of this Agreement. If any of the foregoing defaults, other
than a failure to pay money and breach of any financial covenant set forth in
the Schedule, is curable, it may be cured if Borrower, after discovery or
notice of such default cures the failure within fifteen days (or within
thirty days in the case of clause (h) of this Section 6.1). Silicon may cease
making any Loans hereunder during the above cure periods, and thereafter if
an Event of Default has occurred.
6.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the
expiration of any applicable cure period under Section 6.1, and at any time
thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind
(all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower), may do any one or
more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to
the Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b)
Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due,
payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments
allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (c) Take
possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for
that purpose the Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to
enter onto any of the Borrower's premises without interference to search for,
take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on
the premises or cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control
thereof without charge for so long as Silicon deems it reasonably necessary in
order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any
other agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession
of any or all of the Collateral by Court process, the Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto
required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such
possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit
or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any
Page 10 -LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
requirement that Silicon retain possession of and not dispose of any such
Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require the Borrower to
assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Silicon at
places designated by Silicon which are reasonably convenient to Silicon and
the Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon may
deem advisable; (e) Require the Borrower to deliver to Silicon, in kind, all
checks and other payments received with respect to all accounts and general
intangibles, together with any necessary indorsements, within one day after
the date received by the Borrower; (f) Complete the processing, manufacturing
or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such
purpose and for the purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to use
the Borrower's premises, vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all
other property without charge; (g) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of
the Collateral in its condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it
or after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at any one or more
public and/or private sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other
property, or on credit, and to adjourn any such sale from time to time
without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale.
Silicon shall have the right to conduct such disposition on the Borrower's
premises without charge, for such time or times as Silicon deems reasonable,
or on Silicon's premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located
at the place of disposition. Silicon may directly or through any affiliated
company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and
if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale or
other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve the Borrower of any
liability the Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or
physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale; (h) Demand payment of,
and collect any accounts and general intangibles comprising Collateral and,
in connection therewith, the Borrower irrevocably authorizes Silicon to
endorse or sign the Borrowers name on all collections, receipts, instruments
and other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to the
Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of the
Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon's sole discretion, to grant
extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle accounts and the like
for less than face value; (i) Offset against any sums in any general, special
or other deposit accounts maintained by the Borrower with Silicon; and (j)
Demand and receive possession of any of the Borrower's federal and state
income tax and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or
referring thereto. All reasonable fees of professionals (including attorneys'
fees), expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Silicon with
respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the
Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Without
limiting any of Silicon's rights and remedies, from and after the occurrence
of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to the Obligations
shall be increased by an additional two percent per annum, above the rate
otherwise applicable.
6.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. The
Borrower and Silicon agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively,
"sale") of any Collateral which complies with the following standards shall
conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale
is given to the Borrower at least seven days prior to the sale, and, in the
case of a public sale, notice of the sale is published at least seven days
before the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the
sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the Collateral in
general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a place
designated by Silicon, with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) The
sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v) Payment of the
purchase price in cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer is required;
(vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may (but is
not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from
the Borrower any and all information concerning the same. Silicon may employ
other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if
they are commercially reasonable.
Page 11 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
6.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
without limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, the Borrower grants to
Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing
and permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or
agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without
notice to the Borrower, and at the Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the
following, in the Borrower's name or otherwise: (a) Execute on behalf of the
Borrower any documents that Silicon may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's security interest in
the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of the Borrower or Silicon, or
in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement, and all other agreements executed in connection with this Agreement,
each as amended from time to time; (b) demand, collect, receive, receipt for,
xxx and recover all sums of money or other property which may now or hereafter
become due, owing or payable from the Collateral; (c) execute, sign and endorse
any and all claims, instruments, receipts, checks, drafts or warrants issued in
payment of any or all of the Collateral; (d) settle or compromise any and all
claims arising under the Collateral, and, in the place and stead of Borrower, to
execute and deliver its release and settlement for the claim; and (e) to file
any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any
proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower, or otherwise,
which in the discretion of Silicon may seem to be necessary or advisable.
Silicon shall exercise the foregoing powers in a commercially reasonable manner.
Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon with respect to
the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be
payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest
interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall Silicon's
rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon's other rights
under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in control of the
business, management or properties of the Borrower.
6.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of
any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon in
the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon
any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such
order as Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be
paid to the Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; the Borrower
shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If Silicon, in its sole
discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other
credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale or other disposition of
Collateral, Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole
discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of
purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual
receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor.
6.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set
forth in this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies
accorded a secured party under the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code and under
all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or
in the future entered into between Silicon and the Borrower, and all of such
rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial
exercise by Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be
deemed an election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial
exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to
exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but
all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of
the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

any other present or future agreement between the Borrower and Silicon shall not
waive or diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict
compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any
other default, whether prior or subsequent thereto. None of the provisions of
this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future executed by the

however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of their rights under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited
assignment shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release
the Borrower from its liability for the Obligations. The Borrower agrees and
consents to Silicon's sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more
participation interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related
or unrelated to Silicon, but the Borrower does not consent to the outright
assignment of the Loans to a third party. Silicon may provide, without any
limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers of participation interests,
or potential purchasers of participation interests, any information or knowledge
Silicon may have about the Borrower or about any other matter relating to the
Loans and the Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with
respect to such matters, provided, however, that all purchasers and potential
purchasers of participation interests in the Loans shall be bound by a written
confidentiality agreement in form acceptable to the Borrower. The Borrower
additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as
well as a notices of any repurchase of such participation interests, provided,
however that Silicon shall give the Borrower written notice if as a result of a
sale of a participation interest in the Loans Silicon must obtain the consent of
the participant for approval of events other than extensions of the maturity of
the Loans, reduction of interest rate, forgiveness of principal or interest, or
sale of any material portion of the Collateral.

Oregon, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be, at Silicon's option,

SCHEDULE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Borrower: Metro One Telecommunications, Inc.
Address: 0000 X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
SECURED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE LINE OF CREDIT
CREDIT LIMIT: An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) $6,000,000 at any
one time outstanding; or (ii) the amount of the "Borrowing
Base", as defined below. For purposes of this Schedule, the
"Borrowing Base" shall mean the sum of 80% of the Net Amount
of Borrower's eligible accounts receivable ("Formula
Borrowing"). With respect to Borrower's accounts, "Net
Amount" means the gross amount of the account, minus all
applicable sales, use, excise and other similar taxes and
minus all discounts, credits and allowances of any nature
granted or claimed. During such time as Borrower maintains a
Quick Ratio (defined below) of at least 2.00: 1.00, the
Secured Accounts Receivable Line of Credit will not be
subject to the Borrowing Base limitation stated above
("Non-Formula Borrowing"), but the aggregate outstanding
amount of such Line of Credit shall not exceed $6,000,000 at
any time.
Without limiting the fact that the determination of which
accounts are eligible for borrowing is a matter of
Silicon's discretion, the following shall not be deemed
eligible for borrowing: accounts outstanding for more than
90 days from the invoice date, accounts subject to any
contingencies, accounts owing from an account debtor outside
the United States (except for approved in writing by
Silicon), accounts owing from governmental agencies,
accounts owing from one account debtor to the extent they
exceed 40% of the total eligible accounts outstanding,
accounts owing from an affiliate of the Borrower, and
accounts owing from an account debtor to whom the Borrower
is or may be liable for goods purchased from such account
debtor or otherwise (provided, however, that such contra
accounts involving account debtors in the telecommunications
industry may be allowed if approved in writing from time to
time by Silicon, and provided further that U.S. West and its
subsidiaries, SBC Corporation and its subsidiaries,
Ameritech and its subsidiaries, AT&T and its subsidiaries
and Sprint and its subsidiaries are hereby approved as
exceptions to the foregoing exclusion for contra accounts).
In addition, if more than 50% of the accounts owing from an
account debtor are outstanding more than 90 days from the
invoice date or are otherwise not eligible accounts, then
all accounts owing from that account debtor shall be deemed
ineligible for borrowing.
INTEREST RATE: The interest rate applicable to the Secured Accounts
Receivable Line of Credit shall be a rate equal to the
"Prime Rate" in effect from time to time. Interest
Page 16 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
calculations shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and the actual number of days elapsed. "Prime Rate" means
the rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its
"prime rate"; it is a base rate upon which other rates
charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the
best rate available at Silicon. The interest rate applicable
to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a
change in the Prime Rate (and such changes will be noted on
each invoice or otherwise communicated to the Borrower).
COMMITMENT
FEE: $8,250, which is fully earned and payable at closing.
UNUSED LINE FEE: .20% per annum of the excess of the maximum commitment
amount of $6,000,000 over the average daily balance of such
Line of Credit. This fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
MATURITY DATE: June 24, 2000, at which time all unpaid principal and
accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable.
SECURED EQUIPMENT TERM LOAN
CREDIT LIMIT: An amount not to exceed (i) $2,000,000 at any one time
outstanding; or (ii) the amount of the "Equipment Borrowing
Base", as defined below. For purposes of this Schedule, the
"Equipment Borrowing Base" shall mean 50% of the net book
value of equipment purchased by Borrower prior to December
31, 1997, plus 90% of new equipment purchased by Borrower
after December 31, 1997. Silicon shall have no obligation to
advance against taxes, freight charges, installation charges
or other similar amounts relating to Borrower's equipment,
whether or not such amounts are identified on the invoices
submitted to Silicon. Equipment to be included in the
Equipment Borrowing Base must be new equipment, at the time
of purchase by Borrower, owned by Borrower, in good working
order, must not be subject to any liens in favor of any
person or entity other than Silicon, and must be subject to
a first priority, perfected security interest in favor of
Silicon. Silicon shall make advances under this Secured
Equipment Term Loan from time to time, based on invoices and
other documentation as shall be requested by Silicon to
support such advances. The Borrower's indebtedness to
Silicon with respect to this Secured Equipment Term Loan
shall be evidenced by this Schedule and the Loan Agreement,
not by a separate promissory note unless required by
Silicon.
Borrower shall submit to Silicon such invoices, advance
requests and other information, in form acceptable to
Silicon, as Silicon shall reasonably require from time to
time.
Silicon shall not have any obligation to make advances on
this Secured Equipment Term Loan after December 24, 1999.
Once the maximum amount of the principal has been advanced
under this Secured Equipment Term Loan,
Page 17 - LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Borrower is no longer entitled to further advances on this
Loan. Borrower shall not be entitled to reborrow any amount
repaid on this Secured Equipment Term Loan. Advances may be
requested in writing by Borrower or an authorized person.
Silicon may, but need not require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. The unpaid principal balance owing on
this Secured Equipment Term Loan at any time may be
evidenced by Silicon's internal records, including daily
computer print-outs (which Silicon shall provide to Borrower
periodically).
PURPOSE: Borrowers shall use the proceeds of this Secured Equipment
Term Loan to finance the purchase of new and used equipment.
INTEREST RATE: The interest rate applicable to the Secured Equipment Term
Loan shall be a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" (as defined
above) in effect from time to time, plus 0.25% per annum.
Interest calculations shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The
interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on
each date there is a change in the Prime Rate.
AMORTIZATION: Borrower shall pay Silicon monthly payments of interest on
the last day of each month commencing July, 1998. Commencing
on the last day of January, 2000, Borrower shall pay Silicon
42 equal monthly payments or principal, in the amount
necessary to repay fully the outstanding principal of this
Secured Equipment Term Loan in 42 payments, plus interest
calculated as provided in this Schedule.
MATURITY DATE: June 24, 2003, at which time all unpaid principal and
accrued but unpaid interest, fees and other charges shall be
due and payable.
