the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall
be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of
EXHIBIT B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement,

instructions if in Bank's discretion such Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to
rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to

Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.

exceed the lesser of (i) the Committed Line MINUS the then outstanding principal
balance of the Advances , or (ii) the Borrowing Base MINUS the then outstanding
principal balance of the Advances; PROVIDED that the face amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) shall not

of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than the Maturity Date. All such
Letters of Credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its
sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank's form
of application and letter of credit agreement. All amounts actually paid by
Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit shall, when paid, constitute an Advance
under the Committed Line.
(b) The Obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse
Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional

this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever.

expense or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.
(c) (i) 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 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.
(ii) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable
in a currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve
under the Committed Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) 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 Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve
for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
(d) Borrower shall execute all standard form applications
and agreements of Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit and, without
limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower will pay
all standard fees and charges of Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit.
2.2 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Advances PLUS the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including
drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) owed by Borrower to Bank, is greater
than the lessor of the Committed Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS.
(a) INTEREST RATE. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b),
any Advances shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal
to one and three quarters (1.75) percentage points above the Prime Rate;
provided, that on the date immediately following the Equity Infusion, any
Advances shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to
one and one quarter (1.25) percentage points above the Prime Rate.
(b) DEFAULT RATE. All Obligations shall bear interest,
from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five
(5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to
the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) PAYMENTS. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
on the ninth calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at
its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments
against any of Borrower's deposit accounts or against the Committed Line, in
8
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 effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest
chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 CREDITING PAYMENTS. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of
payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire
transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon California time shall be
deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the
immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan
Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue
and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5 FEES. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) FACILITY FEE. A Facility Fee equal to Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000), which fee shall be due on the Closing Date and shall be fully
earned and nonrefundable;
(b) FINANCIAL EXAMINATION AND APPRAISAL FEES. Bank's
customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for Bank's audits of Borrower's
Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial analysis and
examination of Borrower performed from time to time by Bank or its agents;
(c) BANK EXPENSES. Upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses
incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, and, after the date hereof, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.6 ADDITIONAL COSTS. In case any change in 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), in each case
after the date of this Agreement:
(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 States of America or any
political subdivision thereof);
(b) imposes, modifies 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, Bank; or
(c) imposes upon Bank 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 Bank,
reduce the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with
respect to any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to
pay to Bank
9
the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional
expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or
determined, upon presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and
setting forth Bank's calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which
statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.
2.7 TERM. This Agreement shall become effective on the
Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full
force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate
its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement
immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination,
Bank's Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as
any Obligations are outstanding.

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
17
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 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; and (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; 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.
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.
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
18
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.
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.
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.
10. NOTICES
