part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party.

8.2 COVENANT DEFAULT.
If Borrower violates any covenant in Section 7 or does not perform or
observe any other material term, condition or covenant in this Agreement, any
Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any
default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured
the default within 10 days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured
within 10 days or cannot be cured after Borrower's attempts within 10 day
period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower
has an additional period (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the
default. During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not
an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure
period);
8.3 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE.
(i) If there occurs a material impairment in the perfection or priority
of the Bank's security interest in the Collateral or in the value of such
Collateral which is not covered by adequate insurance or (ii) if the

Bank determines, based upon information available to it and in its reasonable
judgment, that there is a reasonable likelihood that Borrower will fail to
comply with one or more of the covenants in Section 6 during the next
succeeding financial reporting period.
8.4 ATTACHMENT.
If any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached, seized, levied
on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment,
seizure or levy is not removed in 10 days, or if Borrower is enjoined,
restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of
its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material
portion of Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is
filed against any of Borrower's assets by any government agency and not paid
within 10 days after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of
Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but no
Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);
8.5 INSOLVENCY.
If Borrower becomes insolvent or if Borrower begins an Insolvency
Proceeding or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not
dismissed or stayed within 45 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made
before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);
8.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS.
If there is a default in any agreement between Borrower and a third
party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness
exceeding $100,000 or that could cause a Material Adverse Change;
8.7 JUDGMENTS.
If a money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $50,000 is rendered
against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 10 days (but no Credit
Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or
8.8 MISREPRESENTATIONS.
If Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any material
misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or
representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or to
induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.
9 BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
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;
10
(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 (subject to any
Permitted Liens), 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 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: (i) endorse Borrower's
name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign
Borrower's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts
against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims
about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms
Bank determines reasonable; and (v) 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, Bank may notify any
Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and
verify the amount of the Account. 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 6.5, 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.
11
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices 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 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,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is
liable.

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other
related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an
overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of
this Agreement. A Party may change its notice address by giving the other Party
written notice.
11 CHOICE OF LAW , VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED

WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The
obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all
statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 CONFIDENTIALITY.
In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same
degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but
disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or affiliates
in connection with their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees
or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, (iii) as required by law,
regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank's
examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate exercising remedies
under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information

to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (b)

party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
