AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMERCIAL LOAN AGREEMENT This Amended and Restated Commercial Loan Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of May 15, 1997 by and among Imperial Bank, a California banking corporation ("Imperial"), The Sumitomo Bank of California, a California banking corporation ("Sumitomo"), The Titan Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and Sumitomo in its capacity as agent for Sumitomo and Imperial (the "Agent"). Imperial and Sumitomo are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Banks." RECITALS A. Borrower and Sumitomo entered into that certain Commercial Loan Agreement dated August 8, 1994 and subsequently amended pursuant to amendments dated May 25, 1995, December 29, 1995, May 9, 1996, September 6, 1996, October 18, 1996 and March 26, 1997 (collectively, the "Existing Agreement"). B. Borrower, Sumitomo and Imperial are entering into this Agreement in order to amend, restate, replace and supersede the Existing Agreement in its entirety. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT, AMOUNT AND TERMS. Banks agree to make available to Borrower the following line(s) of credit and/or credit accommodations on the following terms, covenants and conditions: 1.1 Revolving Line of Credit Amount. (a) Revolving Line of Credit. During the Availability Period, Banks will provide a line of credit (the "Revolving Line of Credit") to Borrower. The maximum amount of the Revolving Line of Credit including the subline facility for letters of credit (the "Total Commitment") is Twenty-Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000). Of the Total Commitment, Sumitomo's Commitment is Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) and Imperial's Commitment is Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Upon execution of this Agreement, the respective Commitments of the Banks shall be as set forth above. Under no circumstances shall any Bank be obligated to advance more than its particular Commitment. The respective Commitments of the Banks may be assigned pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof. As used in this Agreement, "Pro Rata Share" means, as to any Bank at any time, the percentage equivalent (expressed as a decimal, rounded to the ninth decimal place) at such time of such Bank's Commitment divided by the Total Commitment of all Banks. Sumitomo's initial Pro Rata Share is .583333333 and Imperial's initial Pro Rata Share is .416666667. Borrower's obligation to repay the Revolving Line of Credit is evidenced by two promissory notes (one in favor of Sumitomo and one in favor of Imperial) substantially in the forms of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 attached hereto (collectively, the "Revolving Line Notes"). (b) Revolving Nature of Line of Credit. During the Availability Period, Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them under the Revolving Line of Credit. (c) Subline Facility for Letters of Credit. The Revolving Line of Credit includes a subline facility for letters of credit. The subline facility for letters of credit is not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). (d) Maximum Loan Balance. Borrower agrees not to permit the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit plus the outstanding amounts of any letters of credit under the subline facility, including amounts drawn on letters of credit and not yet reimbursed (such sum being referred to herein as the "Loan Balance"), to exceed the Total Commitment. (e) Imperial to Make Payment. Imperial acknowledges that amounts have previously been drawn under the Revolving Line of Credit. Imperial shall pay to the Agent, immediately upon demand by the Agent, for payment to Sumitomo, an amount equal to Imperial's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal balance of all previous advances under the Revolving Line of Credit. 1.2 Availability Period. The period under which Borrower may draw on the Revolving Line of Credit ("Availability Period") is between the date of this Agreement and May 31, 1998 (the "Maturity Date"), unless Borrower is in default, in which event Banks need not make any advances. 1.3 Interest Rates. (a) Interest Rate Absent Optional Interest Rate Election. Unless Borrower elects an Optional Interest Rate as described below, the "Interest Rate" shall be Sumitomo's Prime Rate in effect from time to time. (b) Definition of Prime Rate. The "Prime Rate" equals the rate of interest set from time to time by Sumitomo at its head office in San Francisco, California as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is determined by Sumitomo as a means of pricing credit extensions to some customers and is neither tied to any external rate of interest or index nor is it necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Sumitomo at any given time for any particular class of customers or credit extensions. Any changes in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall take effect without notice on the date specified at the time the Prime Rate is set. (c) Optional Interest Rate. Instead of the interest rate based on Sumitomo's Prime Rate, Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the Revolving Line of Credit (during the Availability Period) bear interest at the Offshore Rate plus two percent (2.00%), as more fully described in Section 1.3(d) below (the "Optional Interest Rate"), during an interest period agreed to by Agent and Borrower. Each interest rate is a rate per annum. Interest will be paid on the last day of each interest period and, if the interest period is longer than 30 days, then on the first day of each month during the interest period. At the end of any interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate based on the Prime Rate, unless Borrower has designated another Optional Interest Rate for that portion. (d) Offshore Rate/Rate Plus Disclosed Spread. Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit (including, without limitation, amounts representing unreimbursed draws under the subline facility letters of credit) bear interest at the Offshore Rate plus two percent (2.00%). Designation of an Offshore Rate portion is subject to the following requirements: (i) The interest period during which the Offshore Rate will be in effect will be 30 days, 60 days, 90 days or 180 days as selected by Borrower (except that Borrower may select an interest period of 14 days so long as the Offshore Rate portion is at least $1,000,000). The last day of the interest period will be determined by Agent using the practices of the offshore dollar inter-bank market. (ii) Each Offshore Rate portion will be for an amount not less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (other than for an interest period of 14 days, in which event the amount may not be less than $1,000,000) and increments of fifty thousand dollars above the minimum. (iii) At any given time, Borrower may have no more than five portions of the principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit bearing interest based upon the Offshore Rate. (iv) The "Offshore Rate" means the interest rate determined by the following formula, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by Agent as of the first day of the interest period.) Offshore Rate = Eurodollar Rate --------------------------- (1.00 - Reserve Percentage) Where, (A) "Eurodollar Rate" means the interest rate quoted by the Agent's International Department as the "LIBOR rate" applicable for the interest period chosen by Borrower and for borrowings in an amount equal to Sumitomo's Pro Rata Share of the requested borrowing. (B) "Reserve Percentage" means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in the Federal Reserve Board Regulation D. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages. (v) Borrower may not elect an Offshore Rate with respect to any portion of the principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit which is scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the applicable interest period. (vi) No portion of the principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit already bearing interest at the Offshore Rate may be converted to a different rate during its interest period. (vii) Each prepayment of an Offshore Rate portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee equal to the amount (if any) by which: (A) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount prepaid had it not been paid until the last day of the interest period, exceeds (B) the interest which would have been recoverable by Banks by placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the offshore dollar market for a period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the last day of the interest period for such portion. (C) Agent will have no obligation to accept an election of an Offshore Rate portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing: (x) Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of an Offshore Rate portion are not available in the offshore Dollar interbank market; or (y) the Offshore Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of an Offshore Rate portion. 1.4 Repayment Terms/Revolving Line of Credit. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.3(c) hereof, Borrower will pay in arrears on the first day of each calendar month all interest accrued on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit (including, without limitation, all unreimbursed amounts drawn under letters of credit) during the immediately preceding calendar month. (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(f) hereof with respect to letters of credit having terms extending beyond the Maturity Date, Borrower will repay in full all principal, interest and other charges outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit no later than the Maturity Date. (c) Any amount bearing interest at an Optional Interest Rate may be repaid at the end of the applicable interest period. (d) Subject to provisions contained elsewhere herein, Borrower may prepay the Revolving Line of Credit in full or in part at any time. The prepayment will be applied first to interest and charges and then to the principal outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit. (e) All payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made to Agent at its office located at 611 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, California, or at such other place as Agent may designate by written notice to Borrower and Banks (herein, the "Agent's Office"). 1.5 Letter of Credit Subline Facility. The Revolving Line of Credit may be used for financing: (i) commercial letters of credit (which will require drafts payable at sight), or (ii) standby letters of credit, in either case with maturities not to extend more than 365 days beyond the Maturity Date. Each commercial letter of credit will be issued by Sumitomo pursuant to a completed request for letter of credit in the form of Exhibit D hereto (each a "Request for Letter of Credit") delivered by Borrower to the Agent. (a) Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, at least two (2) Banking Days prior to the date upon which the requested letter of credit is to be issued. Upon issuance of a letter of credit, the Agent promptly shall notify the Banks of the amount and terms thereof. (b) Upon the issuance of a letter of credit, each Bank shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Sumitomo in an amount equal to that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the face amount of the letter of credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Bank's participation in any letter of credit, to the extent that Sumitomo has not been reimbursed by Borrower for any payment required to be made by Sumitomo under any letter of credit, each Bank shall, according to its Pro Rata Share, reimburse Sumitomo immediately upon demand for the amount of such payment. The obligation of each Bank to so reimburse Sumitomo shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Sumitomo for the amount of any payment made by Sumitomo under any letter of credit together with interest in accordance with this Agreement. (c) The amount of outstanding letters of credit, including amounts drawn on letters of credit and not yet reimbursed, may not exceed at any one time Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate. (d) Standby letters of credit issued in favor of governmental agencies in lieu of worker's compensation insurance premiums shall not exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate outstanding at any one time. (e) Any sum drawn under a letter of credit shall be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due and payable by Borrower in the same manner as other advances under the Revolving Line of Credit, except as provided in Section 1.5(f), below. (f) In the event any subline facility letters of credit are outstanding on the Maturity Date, or if an Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately prepay all outstanding letters of credit and deposit with Agent on the Maturity Date, as cash collateral for the reimbursement obligations of Borrower with respect to such letters of credit (and Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, a security interest in such cash collateral), an amount equal to the entire face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, to be applied to repay draws under letters of credit as and when made. (g) The issuance of any letter of credit or any amendment to a letter of credit is subject to Agent's written approval and must be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Agent and in favor of a beneficiary reasonably acceptable to Agent. (h) Borrower will sign Sumitomo's form Application and Security Agreement for Commercial Letter of Credit or Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit, as applicable. (i) Borrower agrees that Agent may automatically charge its checking account for applicable fees, discounts, and other charges relating to any letters of credit. (j) Borrower will pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, a non-refundable fee equal to 1.5% per annum (times the full term of the letter of credit) of the face amount of each standby letter of credit issued hereunder, payable fully in advance at the time of issuance and on each renewal date (if any). Borrower will pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, Sumitomo's standard fees in effect from time to time, as determined by Sumitomo, for commercial letters of credit issued under this Agreement. (k) Borrower will pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, any issuance and/or other fees that Agent notifies Borrower will be charged for issuing and processing letters of credit for Borrower. 2.. FEES, EXPENSES AND DEPOSITS. 2.1 Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay a Sixty Thousand Dollar ($60,000) commitment fee to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, upon execution of this Agreement. (b) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Banks, a fee on any difference between the Total Commitment and the amount of credit Borrower actually uses, determined by the weighted average Loan Balance maintained during the specified period. This fee will be calculated at three eighths of one percent (.375%) per year, and is due monthly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the foregoing fee, the entire face amount of all issued and outstanding letters of credit shall be counted as credit being "actually used." 2.2 Expenses. (a) Borrower agrees to repay Agent, immediately upon demand by Agent, for Agent's reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, which may include, without limitation, filing, recording and search fees and documentation fees. (b) Borrower agrees to reimburse Agent, immediately upon demand by Agent, for any expenses incurred by Agent in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel and any allocated costs of Agent's in-house counsel. 3.. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS. 3.1 Requests for Credit. As used herein, any extension of credit which bears interest based upon the Prime Rate is referred to as a "Prime Rate Credit" and any extension of credit which bears interest based upon the Offshore Rate is referred to as an "Offshore Rate Credit". Borrower shall make each request for an extension of credit under the Revolving Line of Credit (other than requests for issuance of letters of credit under the subline facility) by delivering to Agent an irrevocable written request in the form of Exhibit "B", appropriately completed (a "Request for Credit"), which specifies, among other things: (i) The principal amount of the requested extension of credit; (ii) Whether the requested extension of credit will initially be a Prime Rate Credit or an Offshore Rate Credit; (iii) If the requested extension of credit is to initially be an Offshore Rate Credit, the interest period selected by Borrower for such extension of credit in accordance with Section 1.3(d)(i); and (iv) The date of the requested extension of credit, which shall be a Banking Day. Borrower shall deliver to Agent, at the Agent's Office, a properly completed Request for Credit (i) at least three (3) Banking Days before the date of the requested extension of credit in case of an Offshore Rate Credit, and (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the date of the requested extension of credit in the case of a Prime Rate Credit. The Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit any request for extension of credit to be made by telephone, in which case Borrower shall confirm the same by mailing or faxing a written Request for Credit to the Agent within 48 hours following the telephonic request. If Borrower fails to deliver to the Agent a written Request for Credit, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the amount, interest rate or term of any extension of credit made pursuant to Borrower's telephonic request. Promptly following receipt of a Request for Credit, the Agent shall notify each Bank by telephone, telecopier or Telex of the date and amount of the requested credit, the applicable interest period (in the case of an Offshore Rate Credit), and that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the requested credit. Not later than 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the date specified for any extension of credit, each Bank shall make its Pro Rata Share of the requested credit in immediately available funds available to the Agent at the Agent's Office. 3.2 Conversion of Interest Rate on Extensions of Credit. Borrower may convert outstanding Prime Rate Credits into Offshore Rate Credits, or existing Offshore Rate Credits into other Offshore Rate Credits, in accordance with this Section 3.2. Borrower shall request any such conversion by delivering to Agent an irrevocable written request in the form of Exhibit "C", appropriately completed (a "Request for Conversion"). Each Request for Conversion shall specify, among other things: (i) The total dollar amount of Prime Rate Credits which are to be converted to an Offshore Rate Credit; (ii) The total dollar amount and interest period expiration dates of any existing Offshore Rate Credits which are to be converted to other Offshore Rate Credits; (iii) The interest period selected by Borrower for any newly converted Offshore Rate Credits in accordance with Section 1.3(d)(i); and (iv) The date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Banking Day. Borrower shall deliver to Agent, at the Agent's office, a properly completed Request for Conversion not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, at least two (2) Banking Days prior to the first day of the applicable interest period as set forth in the Request for Conversion. The Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a Request for Conversion to be made by telephone, in which case Borrower shall confirm the same by mailing or faxing a written Request for Conversion to the Agent within 48 hours following the telephonic request. If Borrower fails to make a written Request for Conversion, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the amount, interest rate or term of any such Offshore Rate Credit. Unless Borrower has timely delivered to Agent a Request for Conversion in accordance with this Section 3.2 with respect to any existing Offshore Rate Credit, such Offshore Rate Credit shall automatically become a Prime Rate Credit on the day immediately following the last day of the applicable interest period for such Offshore Rate Credit. With respect to any conversion pursuant to this Section 3.2, at or about 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, two (2) Banking Days before the first day of the requested interest period, the Agent shall determine the applicable Offshore Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to Borrower and the Banks by telephone, telecopier or Telex. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.2, the conversion shall become effective on the first day of the requested interest period. 3.3 Agent's Right to Assume Funds Available for Extensions of Credit. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank at least two hours prior to the funding by the Agent of any extension of credit that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such extension of credit, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on the date of the extension of credit and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Bank, which demand shall be made in a reasonably prompt manner. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Agent within five (5) Banking Days after demand. In the event no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and a Bank does not fund its Pro Rata Share of an extension of credit, the other Banks shall increase the amount of their funding to cover the Request for Credit, provided that such increased funding does not cause any Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment to be exceeded. The Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Bank or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount for each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate or the Offshore Rate, depending upon whether the extension of credit is a Prime Rate Credit or an Offshore Rate Credit. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent and/or Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder. 3.4 Payments by Borrower. Each payment by Borrower will be: (a) made at Agent's Office (or such other location as may be selected by Agent from time to time by written notice to Borrower), (b) made for the account of Agent's Office or such other office as may be selected by Agent from time to time, (c) made in immediately available funds, or such other type of funds reasonably selected by Agent, and (d) evidenced by records kept by Agent. 3.5 Telephone Authorization. (a) Subject to Section 1.5, Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable, Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, honor telephonic requests for extensions of credit, requests for conversion and requests for issuance of subline facility letters of credit made by any officer of Borrower or by any person or persons so authorized by any authorized officer of Borrower, promptly followed up with a completed Request for Letter of Credit as provided in Section 1.5, a completed Request for Credit as provided in Section 3.1 or a completed Request for Conversion as provided in Section 3.2, as applicable. (b) Proceeds of extensions of credit will be deposited in, and repayments will be withdrawn from, Borrower's account number 058-15052570, or such other account with Agent as may be designated in writing by Borrower. (c) Agent will provide written confirmation to Borrower and Banks of transactions made based on telephone instructions. Borrower agrees to notify Agent promptly of any discrepancy between the written confirmation and telephone instructions. If there is a discrepancy and Agent has already acted on the telephone instructions, the telephone instructions will prevail over the written confirmation. (d) Borrower and Banks indemnify and hold harmless Agent (including its officers, employees, and agents) from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone instructions it reasonably believes are made by an officer of Borrower or a person authorized by an officer of Borrower. This indemnity and agreement to hold harmless will survive this Agreement's termination. 3.6 Direct Debit. (a) Borrower agrees that interest and any fees will be deducted automatically on the due date from Borrower's checking account number 058-15052570 with Agent. (b) Agent will also debit Borrower's account on the dates any principal payments become due hereunder. If a due date for any payment does not fall on a Banking Day, Agent will debit the account on the first Banking Day following the due date. (c) Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the referenced account on the dates Agent enters debits authorized by this Agreement in order to cover all such debits by Agent. If there are insufficient funds in the account on the date Agent enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, Borrower shall immediately pay such shortfall to Agent. 3.7 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a "Banking Day" is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which Agent is open for business in California. For Offshore Rate Credits (if any), a Banking Day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which Agent is open for business in California and dealing in offshore dollars. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a Banking Day will be due on the next Banking Day. All payments received on a day which is not a Banking Day will be applied to the applicable Line of Credit on the next Banking Day. 3.8 Taxes. Borrower will not deduct any taxes from any payments made to Agent or Banks hereunder. If any government authority imposes any taxes or charges on any payments made by Borrower, Borrower will pay the taxes or charges. Upon request by Agent, Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving Agent official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within 30 days after the due date. 3.9 Additional Costs. Borrower will pay Agent, on demand by Agent, for Banks' costs or losses relating to this Agreement arising from any statute or regulation, or any request or requirement of a regulatory agency which is applicable to Banks. The costs and losses will be allocated to the Revolving Line of Credit in a manner determined by Agent, using any reasonable method. The costs include the following: (a) any reserve or deposit requirements; and (b) any capital requirements relating to any Bank's assets and commitments for credit. 3.10 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used. 3.11 Interest on Late Payments. At Agent's sole option in each instance, any amount not paid when due under this Agreement (including interest) shall bear interest from the due date at Sumitomo's Prime Rate plus two and one-half percent (2.50%). This may result in compounding of interest. 3.12 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at Agent's sole option Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal of the Revolving Line of Credit at the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement plus two and one-half percent (2.50%) (the "Default Rate"). This will not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. 3.13 Overdrafts. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make advances under the Revolving Line of Credit to prevent or cover an overdraft on any account of Borrower with Sumitomo. Each such advance will accrue interest from the date of the advance or the date on which the account is overdrawn, whichever occurs first, in accordance with this Agreement. Each Bank agrees to fund any such advance (and Borrower agrees to repay any such advance) at the same times and in the same manner as required for any other advances under the Revolving Line of Credit pursuant to this Agreement. 3.14 Overadvances. If at any time the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Line of Credit (including the undrawn amounts, and drawn and unpaid amounts, of all outstanding subline facility letters of credit) exceeds the Total Commitment, at Agent's option, that amount shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower on demand. 4. CONDITIONS. 4.1 Initial Extension of Credit. Agent must have received the following items, in form and content reasonably acceptable to Agent, before Banks are required to extend any credit to Borrower under this Agreement: (a) Authorizations. Evidence that the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required under this Agreement have been duly authorized. (b) Revolving Line Notes.

Each Bank shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its subsidiaries in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its subsidiaries, and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than financial information received by it in accordance herewith), whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or at any time or times thereafter. If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Bank to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each Bank.

Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Bank to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Banks any payment in excess of the amount to which it is determined to be entitled (and such other Banks hereby agree to return to such Bank any such erroneous payments received by them). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but Agent shall not be responsible to any Bank for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for the financial condition of Borrower. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any agreement or the financial condition of Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Banks with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any agreement Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any person or entity for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under this Agreement or any other agreement until it shall have received such instructions from all Banks. Without limiting the foregoing, no Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Documents or any other agreement in accordance with the instructions of all Banks. (d) Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any other agreement and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion. (e) Banks will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any other agreement or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any other agreement, in proportion to each Bank's Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Banks under this Section 9.2 shall survive the payment in full of all extensions of credit hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. (f) With respect to the extensions of credit made by it, Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Bank. The term "Banks" or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank. Agent may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto. (g) (i) Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Banking Days' prior written notice to Borrower and Banks. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (g)(ii) below or as otherwise provided below. (ii) Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (g)(i) above, the Banks shall, upon receipt of Borrowers' prior consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, appoint a successor Agent. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Banking Day period, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Banks, upon receipt of Borrowers' prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor Agent as provided above. (iii) Upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of any appointment as an Agent under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent under this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. (h) (i) Banks hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any lien granted to or held by Agent upon any property covered by this Agreement or the Security Documents (A) upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all liabilities of Borrower hereunder; or (B) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (C) constituting property leased to Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by such Borrower to be, renewed or extended. Upon request by Agent at any time, any Bank will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular types or items of property covered by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents pursuant to this Section 9.2(h)(i) or Section 9.3. (ii) Without in any manner limiting Agent's authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Banks (as set forth in Section 9.2(h)(i)), each Bank agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Borrower, the authority to release any property covered by this Agreement and the Security Documents conferred upon Agent under clauses (A) through (C) of Section 9.2(h)(i) and under Section 9.3. So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, upon receipt by Agent of confirmation from the Banks of their authority to release any particular item or types of property covered by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, and upon at least five (5) Banking Days' prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Banks to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the liens granted to Agent for the benefit of the Banks herein or pursuant hereto upon such collateral; provided, however, that (A) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such liens without recourse or warranty, and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower hereunder. (iii) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Bank or any other person or entity to assure that the property covered by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents exists or is owned by Borrower, or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the liens granted to Agent pursuant to the Security Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 9.2(h) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by any of the Security Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner Agent deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent's own interest in property covered by any of the Security Documents as one of the Banks and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Banks; provided, that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with loans for its own account. (i) Each Bank hereby appoints each other Bank as agent for the purpose of perfecting security interests in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Bank (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such collateral, such Bank shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent's request therefor, shall deliver such collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent's instructions. Each Bank agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the Security Documents or to realize upon any collateral securing any extensions of credit hereunder, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent. 9.3 Amendments; Consents and Waivers for Certain Actions. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and Borrower; provided, that no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by all Banks or, in the case of subsection (a) below, the affected Bank, do any of the following: (a) increase the Commitment of any Bank; (b) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or fees payable with respect to any extensions of credit hereunder; (c) postpone the Maturity Date or any date fixed for any payment with respect to any amount of principal, interest or fees with respect to any extensions of credit hereunder; (d) amend or waive any of the covenants contained in Article 6 hereof, or this Section 9.3; or (e) consent to the assignment or other transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to accept from the Borrower additional collateral. No notice to or demand on Borrower not required by the terms hereof in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 9.4 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances (including, without limitation, all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) held by such Bank at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower) and (b) other property held or owing by such Bank to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower, against and on account of any amounts owed by Borrower hereunder which are not paid when due. 9.5 Other Extensions of Credit From Banks to Borrower or Subsidiaries. Imperial acknowledges that Borrower presently has in place certain other credit facilities with Sumitomo associated with the operation of Borrower's business. Other than such existing Sumitomo credit facilities (and the credit being extended to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement), in no event shall Sumitomo or Imperial extend credit or make loans of any nature to Borrower (or to any subsidiary of Borrower) unless all Banks have consented in writing to such proposed extension of credit or loan. 10.. MISCELLANEOUS. 10.1 GAAP. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to Agent and all financial covenants will be made under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. 10.2 California Law. This Agreement is governed by California law without reference to its conflict of laws principles. 10.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on Borrower's, Agent's and Banks' successors and assignees. Borrower agrees that it may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and Banks. Bank may sell participations in or assign these loans, or any portion thereof, and may exchange financial information about Borrower with actual or potential participants or assignees subject to appropriate and mutually agreed upon confidentiality restrictions. If a participation is sold or any portion of the loans is assigned, the purchaser will have the right of set-off against Borrower. 10.4 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. No failure on the part of Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing. If Agent waives a default, it may enforce a later default. 10.5 Costs and Expenses. In addition to the recovery of costs and expenses upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, if Agent incurs expenses in connection with the preparation, administering or enforcing of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay Agent all such costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, including any allocated costs of in-house counsel. 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, collectively: (a) represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between Agent, Banks and Borrower concerning this credit; and (b) replace any prior oral or written agreements between Agent, Banks and Borrower concerning this credit; and (c) are intended by Agent, Banks and Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. 10.7 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Documents: (a) all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any of the Ancillary Documents must be in writing and must be mailed, telecopied or personally delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or, as to any party, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties in accordance with this Section 10.7; and (b) any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication given by telecopier, must be confirmed within 48 hours by letter mailed or delivered to the appropriate party at its respective address. Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere herein or in any Ancillary Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted hereunder or under any Ancillary Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or the third calendar day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telecopier, upon electronic confirmation of receipt, and if given after 4:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, effective on the next Banking Day; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered. 10.8 Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement. 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 10.10 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as Agent from time to time reasonably requires to assure Agent the rights created or intended to be created by this Agreement, and for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or any document executed in connection with this Agreement. 10.11 Hazardous Waste Indemnification. Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless Agent and Banks from any loss or liability directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a hazardous substance. This indemnity will apply whether the hazardous substance is on, under or about Borrower's property or operations or property leased to Borrower. The indemnity includes but is not limited to attorneys' fees (including the reasonable estimate of the allocated cost of in-house counsel and staff). The indemnity extends to Agent, each Bank, their parents and subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys and assigns. For these purposes, the term "hazardous substances" means any substance which is or becomes designated as "hazardous" or "toxic" under any federal, state or local law. This indemnity will survive repayment of Borrower's obligations hereunder. Upon demand by Agent, Borrower will defend any investigation, action or proceeding alleging the presence of any hazardous substance in any such location, which affects any of Borrower's property or operations or property leased to Borrower or which is brought or commenced against Agent, whether alone or together with Borrower or any other person, all at Borrower's own cost and by counsel to be approved by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. If Borrower fails to so defend the investigation, action, or proceeding, then Agent may elect to conduct its own defense at the expense of Borrower. 10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that jury trials often entail additional expenses and delays not occasioned by nonjury trials. The parties to this Agreement further agree and stipulate that a fair trial may be had before a state or federal judge by means of a bench trial without a jury. In view of the foregoing, and as a specifically negotiated provision of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action (1) arising under this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or (2) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto or any of them with respect to this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise; and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that any party to this Agreement may file an original counterpart or a copy of this section with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury. This Agreement is executed as of the date stated at the top of the first page.
