is the Guarantor's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, the making and performance of which

the Bank deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of the

reimburse the Bank for all expenses of the Bank in connection with
the foregoing, together with interest thereon at the highest rate
of interest borne by any of the Liabilities at such time from the

Section 6.2 Power of Attorney. Effective upon
the occurrence of a Default, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably
appoints the Bank as the Guarantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Guarantor and in the name
of the Guarantor, the Bank or otherwise, from time to time in the
Bank's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument
which the Bank may deem advisable to accomplish the purposes of

any and all liabilities, claims, damages, actions, proceedings,

any provision of any other document setting forth a standard of
care for such Collateral.
Section 7 Default and Remedies
Whenever a Default shall be existing:
Section 7.1 Liabilities Due and Payable. All of
the Liabilities may, at the option of the Bank, and without demand
or notice of any kind, be declared, and thereupon immediately shall
become, due and payable.
Section 7.2. Deposits, etc. The Bank may, from
time to time, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and
apply toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such
order of application, as the Bank may from time to time elect, any

demand, provisional or final), accounts or moneys of or in the name
of the Guarantor then or thereafter with the Bank.
Section 7.3 Assembly of Collateral. Upon demand
of the Bank, the Guarantor shall assemble, at its expense, all

Collateral may be located and take possession of and remove such
Collateral; (b) use or license, on an exclusive or non-exclusive
basis, any General Intangibles throughout the world for such term
or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Bank shall
in its sole discretion determine, without compensation to the
Guarantor; (c) sell any or all of the Collateral, free of all
rights and claims of the Guarantor therein and thereto; and (d) bid
for and purchase any or all of such Collateral at any such sale.

private sales, at any of the Bank's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit, or for future delivery, an upon such other terms as the

shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sales having been given, and the Bank may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement made at
the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.
Section 7.6 Waiver by Guarantor. The Guarantor
hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in
connection with the exercise by the Bank of any of its rights and
remedies upon Default. Any notification of intended disposition of
any of the Collateral required by law shall be deemed reasonably
and properly given if given at least five days before such
disposition.
Section 7.7 Proceeds of Collateral. Any proceeds
of any disposition by the Bank of any of the Collateral may be
applied by the Bank to the payment of expenses in connection with
the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys, fees and legal
expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the
Bank toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such
order of application, as the Bank may from time to time elect.
Section 7.8 Recourse to Collateral; Remedies not
Exclusive. The Bank may resort to the Collateral for payment of
any of the Liabilities, whether or not the Bank shall have resorted
to any other property securing the Liabilities or shall have
proceeded against any Obligor. The Bank's exercise of rights
hereunder shall not prevent the Bank's exercise of any other rights
it may have upon the occurrence of a Default under any other Credit
Documents or otherwise, and one exercise of rights hereunder shall
not prevent any subsequent exercise of rights of the Bank
hereunder, under any Credit Documents or otherwise.
Section 7.9 Other Rights. The Bank may exercise
from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it
under any Credit Document and under all applicable law.
Section 8 Additional Waivers
Guarantor waives all rights and remedies that Guarantor
may have as a guarantor or surety under the provisions of Title 13,
commencing with Section 2787, of the California Civil Code, or any
other provision of law. In this regard, Guarantor waives (a) the
right to require the Bank to proceed against the Borrower, or any
other person liable for the indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Bank, to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other
security securing such indebtedness, or to pursue any other remedy
in the Bank's power; (b) any defense arising by any reason,
including any election of remedies, any disability, or the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the
Borrower or any other person liable for such indebtedness; and
(c) any right of subrogation for such indebtedness. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor waives all
rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the
creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as non-
judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed
obligation, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section
580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. For
purposes of the waiver just given, the "creditor" referred to
therein is the Bank, and the "principal" is the Borrower.
Guarantor authorizes the Bank, from time to time, and without
notice to the Guarantor to (x) renew, compromise, extend,
accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or, otherwise
alter the terms of the Borrower's indebtedness and other
obligations, or (y) to grant or extend new indebtedness to the
Borrower, which indebtedness shall automatically be secured by this
Agreement. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being, at all
times, informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any
other person liable for indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment
of such indebtedness, which diligent inquiry would reveal, and
agrees that the Bank shall have no duty to advise the Guarantor of
information known to the Bank regarding such condition or
circumstances.
Section 9 General Provisions
Section 9.1 Reimbursement of Expenses. Upon the
occurrence of a Default, the Guarantor shall reimburse the Bank
upon demand for all costs and expenses, including reasonable fees
of attorneys for the Bank (who may be employees of the Bank) and
legal expenses, incurred by the Bank in seeking to collect or
enforce any rights under the Collateral and its rights hereunder
and, in case of Default, in seeking to collect each Credit Document
and the Liabilities, including expenses of any repairs to any
realty or other property to which any of the Equipment or Fixtures
may be affixed or be a part.
Section 9.2 Notices. Any notice or other
communication to any party in connection with this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be sent by manual delivery, facsimile
transmission, overnight courier or United States mail (postage
prepaid) addressed to such party at the address specified on the
signature page hereof, or at such other address as such party shall
have specified to the other party hereto in writing. All periods
of notice shall be measured from the date of delivery thereof if
manually delivered, from the date of sending thereof if sent by
facsimile transmission, from the first Business Day after the date
of sending if sent by overnight courier, or from four days after
the date of mailing if mailed.
Section 9.3 Waivers and Amendments. No failure
or delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any power,
right or remedy, and no course of dealing between the Guarantor and
the Bank, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right or remedy,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, right or
remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other power, right or remedy. No notice to or demand on the
Guarantor not required hereunder shall in any event entitle the
Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Bank
to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice
or demand. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent
with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and
delivered by the Bank. Any waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Guarantor from
the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.
Section 9.4 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies
provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies which may be available to the Bank at law or in equity.
Section 9.5 Termination of Agreement. Unless
sooner terminated by the Bank, this Agreement shall terminate when
all of the Credit Documents shall have expired or been terminated
and all Liabilities shall have been paid in full. This Agreement
shall continue notwithstanding that there may be, from time to
time, no outstanding loans or extensions of credit from the Bank to
the Guarantor. Any return of Collateral upon termination of this
Agreement and any instruments of transfer or termination shall be
at the expense of the Guarantor and shall be without warranty by,
or recourse against, the Bank.
Section 9.6 Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and
assigns (and, if an individual, the Guarantor's heirs, estate and
personal representatives), and shall inure to the benefit of, and
be enforceable by, the Bank and its successors, transferees, and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Bank may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the
Liabilities to any other person or entity and may similarly
transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
such person or entity.
Section 9.7 Choice of Law. This Agreement has
been delivered at San Diego, California, and shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
California.
Section 9.8 Severance. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE
OPTION OF THE BANK, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL
COURT OR CALIFORNIA STATE COURT SITTING IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY,
CALIFORNIA; AND THE GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND
VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH
FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE GUARANTOR COMMENCES ANY
ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE
BANK AT ITS OPTION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED
TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE-DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH
TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH
CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE GUARANTOR
AND THE BANK EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED
OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND
AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A
COURT AND NOT A JURY.
Section 9.12 Conflict between Documents. In
the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a
