2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
-------------------------
2.1 Advances. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
--------
Agreement, Bank agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate amount not
to exceed the lesser of the Committed Line or the Borrowing Base. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Borrowing Base" shall mean an amount equal to (i) eighty
percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts plus (ii) the lesser of (a) twenty five
percent (25%) of Eligible Inventory or (b) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000); provided that "Borrowing Base" shall mean an amount equal to (i)
eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts plus the lesser of (a) twenty five
percent (25%) of Eligible Inventory or (b) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) at
any time when the Inventory Backlog consists of more than one hundred (100)
radio frequency units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and reborrowed at
any time prior to the Maturity Date.
Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by
facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. California time, on
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,
---------
based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer, or without
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
be a Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank
7
harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance.
Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1 to
Borrower's deposit account.
The Revolving Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date, at which
time all Advances under this Section 2.1 shall be immediately due and payable.
2.1.1 Letters of Credit.
-----------------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued letters of credit for the account of
Borrower in an aggregate face amount not to exceed (i) the lesser of the
Committed Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the then outstanding principal
balance of the Advances. Each such letter of credit shall have an expiry date no
later than the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that Borrower's letter of
credit reimbursement obligation shall be secured by cash on terms acceptable to
Bank at any time after the Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not
extended by Bank. 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 this Agreement.
(b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank
for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever.
Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank 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.
2.1.2 Letter of Credit Reimbursement; Reserve.
---------------------------------------
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
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 of this Agreement
is greater than the lesser of (i) the 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 set forth in Section 2.3(b), any
-------------
Advances shall bear interest, on the Daily Balance, at a rate equal to one half
(0.5) percentage point above the Prime Rate.
8
(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 last
--------
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 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 and continuance 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 and during the continuance 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 Seven Thousand Dollars
------------
($7,000), 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 provided that, except during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the cost of such audit or audits shall
not exceed One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($1,200) per year;
(c) Bank Expenses. Upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses incurred
-------------
through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses not
to exceed One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500), and, after the date
hereof, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, as
and when they become due.

without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided
herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

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;
(g) 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;

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)

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 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.
