(a) Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower's
account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base
minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of any Advances (including any Cash
Management Services), minus (iii) the amount of all Letters of Credit (including

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, protect, 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.
(c) 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.
(d) Upon the issuance of any letter of credit payable in a currency
other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve (the "Letter of
Credit Reserve") under the Revolving Line for letters of credit against
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%)
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 Revolving Line shall be reduced by the
amount of such reserve for so long as such letter of credit remains outstanding.
2.1.3 FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUBLIMIT. If there is availability under the
Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, then Borrower may enter in foreign
exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to
purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one
business day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contract"). Bank shall
subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange
sublimit, which sublimit is a maximum of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($3,500,000.00) (the "FX Reserve"). The total FX Forward Contracts at
any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may
terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.

Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) for the Bank's Cash
Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of
payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in the
various
-2-
cash management services agreements related to such Cash Management Services
(the "Cash Management Services"). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash
Management Services Sublimit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise
available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays
on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash
Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and
will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.
2.1.5 EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.

End Date"), Bank shall make advances ("Equipment Advance" and, collectively,
"Equipment Advances") not exceeding the Equipment Line. The Equipment Advances

31, 2003 through September 30, 2003, and (ii) on and after October 1, 2003 and
through December 31, 2004. No Equipment Advances may exceed 100% of the
equipment invoice (with the exception of Eligible Equipment purchased between

equal to 100% of the aggregate net book value of such Eligible Equipment)
excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation
expense relating to such Equipment, unless such costs constitute Other

value for Eligible Equipment purchased between March 31, 2003 and September 30,
2003) totaling the aggregate Equipment Advances made hereunder, on or before
December 31, 2004. In the event that the total outstanding Equipment Advances as
of December 31, 2004, is less than the aggregate invoices (aggregate book value
for Eligible Equipment purchased between March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003)
for Eligible Equipment for the periods referenced above (the "Equipment Value"),
the Bank may, at its sole and absolute discretion, demand, and Borrower shall
immediately pay Bank, the difference between the outstanding Equipment Advances
and the Equipment Value. The Borrower may only request a total of two (2)
Equipment Advances under the Equipment Line. After repayment, Equipment Advances
may not be reborrowed.
(b) Interest. Interest accrues from the date of each Equipment
Advance fixed at the per annum rate of seven percent (7.0%) and is payable
monthly.
(c) Repayment. Each Equipment Advance is payable in (a) thirty-six
(36) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal, plus, (b) monthly

continuing thereafter on the first calendar day of each successive calendar
month (each a "Payment Date"). All unpaid principal and interest is due and
payable in full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Equipment Advance.
Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the
opening of business on the next Business Day.

Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment being financed.
2.1.6 UNDISBURSED CREDIT EXTENSIONS. The Bank's obligation to lend
the undisbursed portion of the Obligations shall terminate if, in Bank's sole
discretion, there has been a Material Adverse Change, or there has been any
material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of
Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this
Agreement.
2.2 OVERADVANCES. If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2,

(a) Default Rate. After an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear

additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.
(c) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit
accounts including Account Number __________ for principal and interest payments

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the
payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the performance of
each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing security
interest in, and pledges and assigns to the Bank, the Collateral, wherever
located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds
and products thereof. Borrower warrants and represents that the security
interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in the
Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as
Collateral.
Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to,
nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which
the Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from
granting a security interest in Borrower's interest in such license or agreement
or any other property. Without prior consent from Bank, Borrower shall not enter
into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably
likely to have a material impact on Borrower's business or financial condition.
Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or
waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses
or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Bank to have a security
interest in
-5-
it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of
any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the
future.
If the Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the
Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. If
Borrower shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall
promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details
thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the
proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be
in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.
4.2 AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes
Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all
appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest or
rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by
either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights
of the Bank under the Code.
5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND 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. In connection with this Agreement, the Borrower
delivered to the Bank a certificate signed by the Borrower and entitled
"Perfection Certificate". The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that:
(a) the Borrower's exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection
Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) the Borrower is an
organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's organizational identification number or accurately states that
the Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive
office as well as the Borrower's mailing address if different, and (e) all other
information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to the Borrower
is accurate and complete. If the Borrower does not now have an organizational
identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify
the Bank of such organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational 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 COLLATERAL. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens
except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit account, other than the deposit
accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate
delivered to the Bank in connection herewith. 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. The Collateral is not in the
possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse). Except as hereafter
disclosed to the Bank in writing by Borrower, none of the components of the
Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the
Perfection Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof,
intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee,
then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such bailee must acknowledge in writing
that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower has
no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account
debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate.
All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free
from material defects. To Borrower's knowledge, Borrower is the sole
-6-
owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to
its customers in the ordinary course of business. To Borrower's knowledge, each
Patent 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.
5.3 LITIGATION. Except as shown in the Perfection Certificate, there are
no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible
Officers or legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary
in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.
5.4 NO MATERIAL DEVIATION 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.
5.5 SOLVENCY. The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including
goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the
Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in
this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as
they mature.
5.6 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 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 make
such declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause
a Material Adverse Change.
5.7 SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or
other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 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 given
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
or forecasted results).

(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 and
notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in such funds
and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall 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;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall
assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and

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;

for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby 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;

directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar
agreements providing control of any Collateral.
(h) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its
lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, 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) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with
account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (iv) make,
settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; and (v)
transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact 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
until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further
obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank's foregoing 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 NOTIFICATION/COLLECTION. In the event that an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower
money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the

received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Bank, and, if
requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Bank in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are Bank
Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the
then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall
be 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. So long as the Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of collateral, the Bank
shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral;

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 hereunder shall be 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,
