If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents and any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

FOURTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “THIRD” above; and

FIFTH, the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

10

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Lender which fails to fund any of its Loans hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.

The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Lender’s Loans shall be evidenced by a note made payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and

11

payable to the order of such Lender (a “Note”). Each Note shall be executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Agent for delivery to such Lender prior to the initial Loan for such Lender. Although the Note shall be expressed to be payable in the full amounts specified above, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay only the amounts actually disbursed to or for the account of the Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid balance of sums so disbursed which remains outstanding from time to time, at the rates and on the dates specified herein or in the Notes, together with the other amounts provided herein.

Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable date of borrowing at the rates per annum determined in accordance with the terms of this Article 3.

From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans and all other amounts due and unpaid under this Agreement and the Notes will bear interest until paid computed at a rate equal to Prime Rate plus two percent (2.00%).

12

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all computations of interest and other amounts due under the Notes and fees and other amounts due under this Agreement will be based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year using the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or other amounts are payable. Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate.

Interest on each Loan will accrue during the applicable Interest Period and will be due and payable on the first (1^st) day of each month; provided that if such day is not a Business Day interest shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent on the Termination Date or other date of maturity of the Notes, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

All payments and prepayments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to the Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. (noon), Pacific time, in immediately available funds and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent in immediately available funds a facility fee equal to twenty-five basis points (0.25%) of the aggregate Revolving Commitments for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

13

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of any regulatory change, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of any regulatory change, the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans, the Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower, and the Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as at the Prime Rate plus three percent (3.00%) per annum, which rate shall change when and as the Prime Rate changes. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans.

14

If any regulatory change affects the treatment of any Loan hereunder as an asset or other item included for the purpose of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of the obligations of the Lender hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such regulatory change (taking into account such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, on demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction.

The Borrower authorizes and agrees that each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds by debit to a deposit account, as described in this Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower shall maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Agent enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Agent may reverse the debit.

15

All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a Business Day shall be due on the next Business Day. All payments received on a day which is not a Business Day shall be applied to the credit on the next Business Day.

If any payments to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement are made from outside the United States, the Borrower shall not deduct any foreign taxes from any such payments. If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the Borrower (including payments under this Section 6.7), the Borrower shall pay the taxes and shall also pay to the Agent or such Lender, at the time interest is paid, any additional amount which the Agent or such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Agent or such Lender would have received if such taxes had not been imposed. The Borrower shall confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Agent or such Lender official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due date.

Without limiting any of the other terms of this Agreement, the Lenders shall not be required to make any Loan to the Borrower under this Agreement, unless the conditions set forth below are satisfied as of the Closing Date:

The Agent shall have received the following documents, in form satisfactory to the Agent:

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless

30

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article 10 and Section 12.4) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower, a Guarantor or a Lender.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in California, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in California. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders

32

that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Determinations and statements of the Agent pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the correctness of the determinations and statements and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Each of the Lenders agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of the such Lender responsible for administering the Loans of such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle the Lender to receive payments under Section 6.3, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of the Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (a) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Loans through another lending office of the Lender, or (b) take such other measures as the Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to the Lender pursuant to Section 6.3, would be materially reduced and if, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such commitment or any Loan through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such commitment or the Loans or the interests of the Lender.

The provisions of Sections 6.2 and 6.3 shall survive the obligation of the Lenders to extend credit under this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 above with respect to increased costs or reductions arising from any period prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the date of such demand by the Lender if the Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to be aware of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would in fact result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any law, regulation, rule, guideline or directive.

Neither this Agreement, nor any of the Notes, nor any of the other Loan Documents, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section nor may the Borrower or any Guarantor be released except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.4. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower or any Guarantor written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the

34

other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or release shall:

provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Agent shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action.

35

Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, any Guarantors, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow the Borrower or any Guarantor to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and the Lenders, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and to the Lenders (including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel), (c) on demand, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Agent and their Affiliates harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of the Loan Documents and any such other documents and the use, or proposed use, of proceeds of the

36

Loans (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Agent or any Lender with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

37

The Borrower and any Guarantor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each the Borrower and any Guarantor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower or such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to the Agent and all financial covenants shall be made under GAAP, consistently applied, except with respect to unaudited interim financial statements.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. To the extent that the Agent and the Lenders have greater rights or remedies under federal law, whether as a national bank or otherwise, this paragraph shall not be deemed to deprive the Agent or such Lenders of such rights and remedies as may be available under federal law.

38

EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE BORROWER AGAINST THE OTHER.

39

40

THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION SHALL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR

41

HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION SHALL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DOCUMENTS.

If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of this Agreement may be enforced. Each Lender retains all rights, even if it makes a Loan after Default. If the Required Lenders waive a Default, they may enforce a later Default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing.

This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required by this Agreement, collectively:

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail. Any reference in any related document to a “promissory note” or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Notes, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the signature page, or to such other addresses as the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, (b) if telecopied, when transmitted, or (c) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.

42

Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 7, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

43

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received in writing from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that

(a)     it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each Loan Document; and

(b)     neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower or any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the relationship between Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower and any Guarantor, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.

Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or obtains an advance. Each Lender shall ask for the Borrower’s legal name, address, tax ID number or social security number and other identifying information. Each Lender may also ask for additional information or documentation or take other actions reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the Borrower, guarantors or other related persons.

l.       The Collateral will be used exclusively for business purposes.

m.     To Borrower’s knowledge and except as disclosed to Secured Party in writing, all rights to payment and all instruments, documents, chattel papers, bills of lading and other agreements constituting or evidencing Collateral are (or will be when arising or issued) the valid, genuine and legally enforceable obligation, subject to no defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than those arising in the ordinary course of business) of each account debtor or other obligor named therein or in Debtor’s records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay such obligation. Debtor will not agree to any modification, amendment or cancellation of any such obligation without Secured Party’s prior written consent except discounts provided by Debtor in the ordinary course of business, and will not subordinate any such right to payment to claims of other creditors of such account debtor or other obligor.

n.      Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party of any material loss of or damage to any Collateral or of any adverse change in the prospect of payment of any material sums due on or under any instrument, chattel paper, bill of lading, account or contract right constituting Collateral.

o.      Debtor will from time to time execute such financing statements or control agreements as Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary in order to perfect the Security Interest and, if any Collateral is covered by a certificate of title, execute such documents as may be required to have the Security Interest properly noted on a certificate of title. In addition, Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file any financing statement Secured Party deems necessary, describing any liens held by Secured Party. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Secured Party may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary to ensure the perfection of the Security Interest, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property.”

EXHIBIT C-5

p.      Debtor will not use or keep any Collateral, or permit it to be used or kept, for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any federal, state or local law, statute or ordinance.

q.      If Debtor at any time fails to perform or observe any agreement contained in this Section 2, and if such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after Secured Party gives Debtor written notice thereof, Secured Party may (but need not) perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Debtor (or, at Secured Party’s option, in Secured Party’s own name) and may (but need not) take any and all other actions that Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure. Debtor shall pay Secured Party on demand the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Secured Party in connection with or as a result of Secured Party’s performing or observing such agreements or taking such actions, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred by Secured Party at the highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations. To facilitate the performance or observance by Secured Party of such agreements of Debtor (in the event Debtor does not cure any such failure during the above-described thirty (30) day period), Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) Secured Party, or its delegate, as the attorney-in-fact of Debtor with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of Debtor, any and all instruments, documents, financing statements, and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Debtor under this Section 2.

3.      Account Verification and Collection Rights of Secured Party.  Secured Party shall have the right to verify any accounts in the name of Debtor or in Secured Party’s own name; and Debtor, whenever requested pursuant to the terms of this Section, shall furnish Secured Party with duplicate statements of the accounts, which statements may be mailed or delivered by Secured Party for that purpose. Secured Party may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default notify any account debtor, or any other person obligated to pay any amount due, that such chattel paper, account, or other right to payment has been assigned or transferred to Secured Party for security and shall be paid directly to Secured Party. If Secured Party so requests at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor will so notify such account debtors and other obligors in writing and will indicate on all invoices to such account debtors or other obligors that the amount due is payable directly to the Secured Party. At any time after the Secured Party or Debtor gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, Secured Party may (but need not), in Secured Party’s respective own names or in Debtor’s name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such chattel paper, account, or other right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor.

4.      Events of Default.   The occurrence of any of the following shall, at the sole option of the Secured Party, be an Event of Default: any “Event of Default” (as defined in such

EXHIBIT C-6

agreement) by Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement evidencing the Obligations, which default is not cured within any grace period granted with respect to such default or, if no specific grace period is granted with respect to such default, where such default is not cured within five (5) business days after written notice thereof from Secured Party.

5.      Remedies upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, unless the Secured Party, upon the written direction of the Required Lenders, has waived such Event of Default in writing, the Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, with the written consent of the Required Lenders:

a.      Declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, which shall then be immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand;

b.      Exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right to take possession of any Collateral, proceeding without judicial process if permitted by law or by judicial process, and the right to use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and in connection therewith, Secured Party may require Debtor to make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to all parties, and if notice to Debtor of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 8(A)) at least ten (10) business days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action; or

c.      Exercise or enforce any or all other rights or remedies available to a secured party by law or agreement against the Collateral, including specifically the right to use the Collateral, against Debtor or against any other person or property.

All rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other.

6.      Other Personal Property.  Unless at the time the Secured Party takes possession of any tangible Collateral, or within seven (7) days thereafter, Debtor gives written notice to Secured Party of the existence of any goods, papers or other property of Debtor, not affixed to or constituting a part of such Collateral, but which are located or found upon or within such Collateral, Secured Party shall not be responsible or liable to Debtor for any action taken or omitted by or on behalf of Secured Party with respect to such property without actual knowledge of the existence of any such property or without actual knowledge that it was located or to be found upon or within such Collateral.

7.      Insurance.  Debtor hereby agrees to name Secured Party as a lender loss payee with respect to any all property policies of insurance covering the Collateral. So long as no

EXHIBIT C-7

Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or this Agreement has occurred, and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, Secured Party shall allow Debtor to use the insurance proceeds for repair or replacement of the Collateral. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may (but need not), in Secured Party’s name or in Debtor’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such moneys, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such moneys, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

8.      Miscellaneous.

This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by Secured Party; provided that Secured Party shall release the Security Interest upon satisfaction in full of all the Obligations. A waiver signed by Secured Party shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights or remedies.

a.      All notices to be given to Debtor shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Debtor at its address set forth above or at such other address as Debtor may subsequently provide to Secured Party.

b.      Secured Party’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if Secured Party exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person, and Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. Secured Party shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Debtor may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application.

c.      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by Debtor and delivered to the Secured Party, and Debtor waives notice of Secured Party’s acceptance hereof.

d.      A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement signed by Debtor shall have the same force and effects as the original for all purposes of a financing statement.

e.      This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California. If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be given effect and this Agreement

EXHIBIT C-8

shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the formation, interpretation or alleged breach hereof, shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and the parties hereto consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

f.      All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations.
