harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.
(d) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable
in a
currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of
Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount
thereof (plus cable charges) in United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in
San Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer to the country of
which it is the currency.
(e) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a currency
other than
United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve under the Exim Committed Line for Letters of
Credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of
the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by Bank from
time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the
Exim Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve for so long as such Letter of
Credit remains outstanding.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by
Borrower
to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Exim Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the
Exim Committed Line,
or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of
such excess.
2.3
Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as provided in Section 2.3(b), any Advances under this Exim
Agreement shall bear interest, on the average daily balance thereof, at a per annum rate equal
to One half (0.50)
percentage points below the Prime Rate.
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and
after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above
the rate that applied immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. Bank
shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Exim Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments
against Borrower’s
deposit account or against the Exim Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall
thereafter accrue interest at
the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
becoming a part of the
Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable
hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter,
the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased contemporaneously with
such change by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Exim Loan
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days
elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. The receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or
other item
of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be
considered a payment
on account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds and is made to
the appropriate deposit
account of Bank or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when
presented for payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payment (other than a wire
transfer of immediately
11
available funds) received by Bank after 12:00 noon California time shall be deemed to have been
received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following fees:
(a) Facility Fee. A annual Facility Fee equal to Forty Five Thousand

(c) Exim Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, Exim Bank Expenses incurred through
the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, all Exim Bank Expenses as they become due.
2.6 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
administration thereof or the
compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority
(whether or not
having the force of law):
(a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or
interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United

Bank’s calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true
and correct absent manifest error.
2.7 Term. Subject to Section 12.7, this Exim Agreement shall become effective once
duly
executed and authorized by Borrower and Bank and shall continue in full force and effect for a
term ending on the
Maturity Date, on which date all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate this Exim Agreement immediately and without
notice upon the

provisions of this Exim
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations (except for inchoate

been paid and
performed in full.

minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as
defined in ERISA, to occur, fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any
law or regulation, which violation could have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse
effect on the Collateral or the priority of Bank’s Lien on the Collateral, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing. Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or
other authorized user of any of the Collateral shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat,
dispose of or release any hazardous waste or substance on, under, about or from any of the
Collateral; and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable federal,
state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation all environmental
protection laws. Borrower authorizes Bank and its agents to enter upon the Collateral to make such
inspections and tests as Bank may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Collateral with
this section of the Exim Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Bank shall be at Borrower’s
expense and for Bank’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or
liability on the part of Bank to Borrower or to any other person. Borrower hereby (1) releases and
waives any future claims against Bank for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes
liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Bank against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses
which Bank may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of
the Exim Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal,
release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the Collateral. The provisions
of this section of the Exim Agreement,
20
including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination, expiration or satisfaction of this Exim Agreement and shall not be affected by
Bank’s acquisition of any interest in any of the Collateral,
whether by foreclosure or otherwise.
7.13 Loans to Shareholders or Affiliates. Without Exim Bank’s prior written consent, make any
loans to any shareholder or entity affiliated with Borrower. As used in this Section, the term

other expenses incurred in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, or Permitted Investments.
7.14
Borrower Agreement: Other Agreements. Violate or otherwise fail to comply with any
provision of the Borrower Agreement. Borrower will not enter into any agreement containing any
provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower’s obligations under
this Exim Agreement or in connection herewith unless such provisions would be rendered ineffective
under the Code (including Sections 9-406, 9-407 and 9-408 thereof) or other applicable law.
7.15 Exim Guarantee. Take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that causes or, with
the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to cause, the Exim Guarantee to cease to be in
full force and effect.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower under
this Exim Agreement:
8.1 Payment Default. If Borrower fails to pay, when due, any of the
Obligations.
8.2
Covenant Default; Cross Default. If Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or
observe
any material term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement contained in this Exim
Agreement, in any of the
Exim Loan Documents, the Domestic Loan Documents, the Borrower Agreement or in any other
present or future
agreement between Borrower and Bank, or an Event of Default occurs under any of the Domestic
Loan Documents
or the Borrower Agreement.
8.3 Material Adverse Change. If there occurs a material ad verse 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,
or Bank believes the prospect of payment or performance of any Obligation is impaired.
8.4 Attachment. If any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a
writ, distress warrant, foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, or is levied upon, or comes
into the possession of any
trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ,
distress warrant,
foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded
within fifteen (15)
days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from
continuing to 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 fifteen
(15) 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).
This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s Accounts, including deposit accounts, with
Bank. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the
validity or reasonableness of
the claim which is the basis of the Insolvency Proceeding and if Borrower gives Bank written
notice of the
21
Insolvency Proceeding and deposits with Bank monies or a surety bond for the Insolvency
Proceeding, in an amount determined by Bank, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve
or bond for the dispute.
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 acceleration by such third party or parties, of any
Indebtedness in an amount in
excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), or that could have a Material Adverse
Effect.
8.7 Subordinated Debt. If Borrower makes any payment on account of Subordinated Debt,
except
to the extent such payment is allowed under any subordination agreement entered into with
Bank.
8.8 Judgments. If a judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an amount,
individually
or in the aggregate, of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be
rendered against Borrower
and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of ten (10) days (provided that no
Advances will be made
prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment).
8.9 Misrepresentations. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to
Bank by
Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under the Loan Documents is false or misleading in any
material respect, either
now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
8.l0 Exim Guarantee; Deffective Collateralization. If the Exim Guarantee ceases for
any reason to be in full force and effect, or if the Exim Bank declares the Exim Guarantee void or
revokes or purports to revoke any obligations under the Exim Guarantee. Any of the Loan Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a
valid and perfected security interest or lien in any of the Collateral) at any time and for any
reason.
8.11 Change in Control. Any Change in Control of Borrower shall occur. For the purposes of
this Event of Default, a Change in Control means, at any time, (a) occupation of a majority of the
seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of directors of Borrower by persons who were neither
(i) nominated by Borrower’s board of directors nor (ii) appointed by directors so nominated; or (b)
any person (as such term is used in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), is or
becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) directly or indirectly of 33.33% or more of the total voting
stock of Borrower on a fully diluted basis, whether as a result of the issuance, sale or
distribution of securities of Borrower, any merger or consolidation to which Borrower is a party,
or otherwise.
8.12 Right to Cure. If any default, other than a payment default on any Obligation, is curable
and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12)
months, it may be cured if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Bank demanding cure of
such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than
fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Bank deems in Bank’s sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary
steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
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 and without demand, do any one or
more of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Exim Agreement, by any of the
other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under
this Exim Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon

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) 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

advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,

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 the proceeds thereof
to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale or at any private sale as
permitted by law; and
(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be
paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Exim Direction. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default,
Exim Bank shall have a right to: (i) direct Bank to exercise the remedies specified in section
9.1 and (ii) request that
Bank accelerate the maturity of any other loans to Borrower as to which Bank has a right to
accelerate.
9.3 Exim Notification. Bank shall have the right to immediately notify Exim Bank in
writing if it
has knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) any failure to pay any
amount due under this
Loan Exim Agreement or the Line of Credit Note; (2) the Borrowing Base is less than the sum of
outstanding
Advances hereunder; (3) any failure to pay when due any amount payable to Bank by the Borrower
under any
loan(s) extended by Bank to Borrower; (4) the filing of an action for debtor’s relief by,
against, or on behalf of
Borrower; or (5) any threatened or pending material litigation against Borrower, or any
material dispute involving
Borrower.
In the event that it sends such a notification to Exim Bank, Bank shall have the right
thereafter to send Exim Bank a written report on the status of the events covered by said
notification on each Business Day which occurs every thirty (30) calendar days after the date of
said notification, until such time as Bank files a claim with Exim Bank or said default or other
events have been cured. Bank shall not have any obligation to make any Advances or to issue any
Letters of Credit following said notification to Exim Bank, unless Exim Bank gives its written
approval thereto. If directed to do so by Exim Bank, Bank shall have a right promptly to exercise
any rights it may have against Borrower to demand the immediate repayment of all amounts
outstanding under the Exim Loan Documents.
23
9.4 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s
designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) upon prior
notice to Borrower,
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 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 (g) 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 that Bank’s power of attorney
hereunder with respect to the actions and powers under clauses (b) through (e) about shall be
effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and provided
further that 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.
9.5 Accounts Collection. At any time from the date of this Exim Agreement, Bank may,
upon
prior notice to Borrower, 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.
9.6 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 Exim 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 Exim 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 Exim
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.
9.7 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.
9.8 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Exim 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.
9.9 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,
24
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.
10. NOTICES
