upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would
be obtained in an arm's length transaction with a nonaffiliated Person.
7.9 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall not permit
the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any
provisions that could or might in any way prevent the creation of a security

business and except for such other locations as Bank may approve in writing,

cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by
Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to
be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional
reasonable period (which shall not in
24.
any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within
such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be
deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Advances will be required to be
made during such cure period);

change in Borrower's business or financial condition or a material impairment of
the value or priority of Bank's security interests in the Collateral;

been removed, discharged or rescinded within thirty (30) days, or if Borrower is

conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of
Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of
record with respect to any of Borrower's assets by the United States Government,
or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county,
municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within thirty,
(30) days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the
foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is
stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by
Borrower (provided that no Advances will be required to be made during such cure
period);
8.5 INSOLVENCY. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an
Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding
is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30)
days (provided that no Advances will be made prior to the dismissal of such
Insolvency Proceeding);
8.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS. If there is a default in any agreement to
which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in the
exercise of a right by such third party or parties to accelerate the maturity of
any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) or that could have a Material Adverse Effect;

into this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of
its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of
which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for
the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in
an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as
collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters
of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii)
pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over
the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank
reasonably considers advisable;
(e) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make
such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the
Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as
Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to
its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
With respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same,
without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided
herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the
Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or
(ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower held by Bank;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided
for herein) the Collateral. Bank is
26.
hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as
it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for
sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its
rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower's rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale,
or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms,
in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank
determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations
in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
and
(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Effective only upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as
Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of
Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts;
(b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security
that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or
xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors,
schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to
account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions
with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; (e) settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (f) to modify, in its
sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into
between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower's approval of or
signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C,
thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in
any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution
hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any
Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims any
right, title or interest; (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; and (h)
to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank or a
third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial Code
provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower
on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event
of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact,
and each and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
27.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. At any time from the date of this
Agreement, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank's security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall
collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as
Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original
form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or
furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the
following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such
reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank
from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any
action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid
or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due
and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove
provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank
shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future
or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Bank shall
have a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Intellectual Property
Collateral to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Bank to exercise its
rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as Bank complies
with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable
or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c)
any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk
of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower,
except for any loss, damage or destruction caused by Bank's gross negligence or
wilful misconduct.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one
right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any
Event of Default on Borrower s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No
delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No
waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on
behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND; PROTEST. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
28.

the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa

RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT

pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be
made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their
present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective
transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have
