Borrower will repay Bank. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety
that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated December

1. DEFINITIONS; ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in Section 13 of this Agreement. Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement
will be construed according to GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be
made following GAAP. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and
schedules thereto. The terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including
(or includes) without limitation," in this or any other Loan Document.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 PROMISE TO PAY.
Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Advances
and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Advances.
2.1.1 ADVANCES.
(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed
Revolving Line minus (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus
(B) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit). Amounts borrowed hereunder that remain
available for borrowing under this Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed prior
to the Maturity Date.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by
facsimile or telephone by 12:00 noon Pacific Time on the Business Day the
Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by
delivering to Bank the Loan Payment/Advance Request Form attached as Exhibit B
(the "PAYMENT/ADVANCE FORM"). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower's deposit
account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from
a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the
Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely
on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible
Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due
to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line shall terminate on the
Maturity Date, and all Advances are immediately due and payable on the Maturity
Date.
2.1.2 LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a) Bank will issue or have issued standby Letters of Credit
for Borrower's account not exceeding the amount available under the Committed
Revolving Line (each, a "LETTER OF CREDIT"). Each Letter of Credit will have an
expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Maturity Date, but Borrower's
reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash in an amount equal to 105% of
the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs
due or to become due in connection therewith on terms acceptable to Bank at any
time after the Maturity Date if such Maturity Date is not extended by Bank or if
an Event of Default occurs and continues. Borrower agrees to execute any further
documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably
request.
(b) Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter
of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank Bank's customary fees (subject to
negotiation) in connection with the opening of a letter of credit (the "LETTER
OF CREDIT FEES"). The Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid upon the opening of
each Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary thereof, if required. In
addition, Borrower shall pay to Bank, for its own account, any and all
additional issuance, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to the
extent and as and when required by the provisions of any application for Letters
of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be part of the Obligations.
(c) If any Letter of Credit is drawn upon, such amount shall
constitute an Advance but shall be immediately due and payable. If such amount
is not paid immediately, then the full amount thereof shall accrue interest at
the rate set forth in Section 2.4(a).
2.2 EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.
(a) Through December 16, 2005 (the "EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY END
DATE"), Bank will make advances (each, an "EQUIPMENT ADVANCE" and, collectively,
"EQUIPMENT ADVANCES") not exceeding the Committed Equipment Line. The Equipment
Advances may only be used to purchase or refinance Equipment within 90 days of
the invoice date, or, in the case of the initial advance, purchased on or after
September 1, 2004.

(each, an "EQUIPMENT ADVANCE FUNDING DATE") at the rate in Section 2.4(a). Each
Equipment Advance is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal, plus
accrued interest, beginning on the first of the month following the Equipment
Advance Funding Date for such Equipment Advance and ending on the Equipment
Maturity Date for such Equipment Advance. Equipment Advances when repaid may not
be reborrowed.
(c) To obtain an Equipment Advance, Borrower must provide
notice in the form of a Payment/Advance Form to Bank (the notice is irrevocable)
by facsimile no later than 12:00 noon Pacific Time one Business Day before the
day on which the Equipment Advance is to be made. The Payment/Advance Form must
be signed by a Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice
for the Equipment being financed.
(d) The outstanding principal amount of term loans previously
advanced by Bank to Borrower pursuant to that certain Loan and Security
Agreement dated
2.
March 28, 2003, as amended by that Amendment to Loan Documents dated July 17,
2003, as further amended by that certain Amendment to Loan Documents dated
September 26, 2003, and Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated
December 19, 2003 are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the "EXISTING
EQUIPMENT DEBT"). The Existing Equipment Debt shall, for all purposes hereof, be
"Equipment Advances" hereunder and be governed by all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, except that the principal of said Existing Equipment Debt
shall continue to be payable as set forth on Schedule A.
2.3 OVERADVANCES.
If, at any time, Borrower's Obligations hereunder exceed the Committed
Revolving Line, Borrower shall immediately pay Bank the excess.
2.4 INTEREST RATE, PAYMENTS.
(a) ADVANCES. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding
principal balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate. Equipment
Advances, including the Existing Equipment Debt, accrue interest on the
outstanding principal balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to one-half
percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate. After an Event of Default has
occurred, Obligations shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to two
percent (2%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.
The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest
is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) PAYMENTS. Interest due on the Advances and Equipment
Advances is payable on the first of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower's
deposit accounts, including account number 0341964970, for principal and
interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will notify
Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off.
Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific Time are considered received at the
opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest accrue.

(a) LOAN FEE. Fully earned, non-refundable loan fees in the
amount of $20,000 for the Committed Revolving Line and in the amount of $4,800

any time, Borrower fails to maintain a minimum aggregate amount of $20,000,000
of unrestricted funds on deposit for 10 consecutive Business Days with SVB Asset
Management and/or SVB Securities, Borrower shall pay an additional $30,000 fee
for the Committed Revolving Line and an additional $7,200 fee for the Committed
Equipment Line.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently
existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance
of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Any security interest

until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity
obligations).
4.2 AUTHORIZATION TO FILE; DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.
Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to
Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in
order to perfect or protect Bank's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower

Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and

fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
4.
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION; ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE; AUTHORIZATION.
Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its
state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of
property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
Borrower has not changed its state of formation or organizational
structure or type or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction of
formation.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor
constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is
bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is
bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.
5.2 PLACES OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL.
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter, the Equipment and Inventory
is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse, but
excluding Equipment or Inventory in the possession of third parties for
demonstration or evaluation purposes, or otherwise in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practices). In the event that Borrower, after the
date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a
bailee, then Borrower may amend the Disclosure Letter so long as such new
location is within the continental United States.
5.3 COLLATERAL.
(a) Borrower has rights in the Collateral and its Intellectual
Property sufficient to grant a security interest therein, free of Liens except
Permitted Liens. All of Borrower's Deposit Accounts and any existing commercial
tort claims are described on the Disclosure Letter. The Accounts are bona fide,
existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or
delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is
the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive and
exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business. Each issued
Patent owned by Borrower is valid and enforceable and no part of the
Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in
part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property
violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of the
Equipment financed by Bank now is or will be affixed to any real property in
such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture.
(b) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in
all invoices, instruments, and other documents evidencing the Accounts are and
shall be true and correct. All such invoices, instruments, and other documents,
and all of Borrower's Books are and shall be genuine and in all respects are
what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving
rise to each Account shall comply in all material respects with
5.
all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. To the best of
Borrower's knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents,
instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and shall be genuine,
and all such documents, instruments, and agreements are and shall be legally
enforceable in accordance with their terms.
5.4 LITIGATION.
Except as shown in the Disclosure Letter, there are no actions or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers,
threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse
decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.5 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary,
delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's
consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of
operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower's
consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial
statements submitted to Bank.
5.6 TAXES.
As of the date hereof, and except as set forth on the Disclosure Letter,
Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's
prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable
by Borrower.
5.7 SOLVENCY.
The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower's
remaining assets after the transactions contemplated herein are not unreasonably
small in relation to its business; and Borrower is able to pay its debts
(including trade debts) as they mature.
5.8 EXISTING TERM DEBT.
Schedule A accurately reflects the outstanding principal amount, payment
amounts, and maturity dates with respect to the Existing Equipment Debt.
5.9 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged
as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under
Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has
complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or
any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in
disposing, producing, storing, treating, or
6.
transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each
Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate
provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith
with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all
consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to
continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.10 SUBSIDIARIES.
Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity
securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.11 FULL DISCLOSURE.
No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any
certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such
written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it
being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower
in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and
forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results).

obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:
6.1 GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE.
Subject to Section 7.3, Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries'
legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain
qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would
reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower's business
or operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all

which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations
or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K (relating to certification) that are otherwise
publicly available through the SEC's XXXXX system); (v) a prompt report of any
claim, proceeding, litigation, or investigation in the future threatened or

reasonably requests.

the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and
Bank schedule and audit more than 10 days in advance, and Borrower seeks to
reschedule the audit with less than 10 days written notice to Bank, then
(without limiting any of Bank's rights and remedies) Borrower shall pay Bank a
cancellation fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to
compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of cancellation. The
results of audits will be satisfactory to Bank, and audits will be conducted no
more often than once every year unless an Event of Default shall have occurred.
6.3 INVENTORY; RETURNS.
Borrower will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free
from material defects. Returns and allowances between Borrower and its account

notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief
executive office, or moving any of the Equipment or Inventory (but excluding

evaluation purposes, or otherwise in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practices) to a location other than Borrower's address set forth in
the preamble hereof or in the Disclosure Letter, except that Borrower may
maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than
a total of $10,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.
8.
(b) In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the

asserting or intends to assert, and in which the likely recovery exceeds
$1,000,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank thereof in writing and provide
Bank with such information regarding the same as Bank shall request (unless
providing such information would waive Borrower's attorney-client privilege).
Such notification to Bank shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the
commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Bank, and Borrower shall
execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Bank shall
request in connection therewith.
6.5 TAXES; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS.
Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of
all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments and will deliver to
Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment.

taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligations to pay
the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material
development in, any such proceedings involving more than $500,000, and (c) posts
bonds or takes other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a
lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay
all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing,

not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete

satisfactory to Bank in Bank's reasonable discretion. All property policies will
have a lender's loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss
payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured and
provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days notice before canceling
its policy. At Bank's request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of
policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy
will, at Bank's option if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be
payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. Bank shall release to Borrower,
so long as no Event of Default is reasonably likely to occur as a result of such
release by Bank, insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment which proceeds
shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the Equipment with respect
to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Bank may require reasonable assurance
that the insurance proceeds were utilized by Borrower for such purpose.

9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or
demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but
if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are
immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's
benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and
Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary
or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will
assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter
and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights
or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name,
trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
14.
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit;
and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse Borrower's name
on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on
any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors,
(c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (d)
settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (e) transfer
the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank
may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents
necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as
Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with
an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, (a) Bank may notify any
Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify
the amount of the Account, and (b) Borrower must collect all payments in trust
for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in Section 6.6, and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and
secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make
similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not
liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the
Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or
default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears
all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and
all other
15.
agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an
election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.
Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective
unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND WAIVER.
Borrower waives demand, 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,
