The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2001 annual report on Form 10-K.

We acquired property and equipment under capital leases totaling $157 and $2,178 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $174 and $2,309 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest paid totaled $224 and $153 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $501 and $259 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, management began evaluating segment performance based on earnings (loss) before interest, taxes and non-cash charges. We have restated prior period information for comparative purposes. The following table sets forth information on each of our reportable segments:

A reconciliation of segment loss before interest, taxes and non-cash charges for both segments to loss from operations is as follows:

During the second and third quarters of 2000, we granted incentive stock options to employees and directors to purchase 885,983 shares of Class A Common Stock. The options were granted at an exercise price less than the estimated market value of our Class A Common Stock at the date of grant.

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, we recorded $443 and $867 of non-cash stock compensation expense related to these grants. We expect to record future stock compensation expense of approximately $4,237 as a result of these option grants that will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The new rules of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets became effective beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the Statement did not have an effect on our operating results since we currently have no goodwill.

Intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001:

Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (FAS 133), requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specified hedge criteria are met. Under FAS 133, if a foreign currency option is designated a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in fair value of the option are recorded in other comprehensive income. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.

In January 2002, we entered into a contract to sell products and services, which is denominated in British Pounds Sterling. Fluctuations in the value of the British Pound Sterling relative to the United States Dollar could cause us to incur currency exchange losses. Under the terms of this contract, we will be paid in British Pounds Sterling which exposes us to foreign currency exchange risk.

In April 2002, we entered into several foreign currency option contracts primarily to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk. All of the foreign currency options have been entered into with one financial institution acting as a counterparty. These foreign currency option contracts have various expiration dates between October 15, 2002 and March 17, 2003.

A portion of the option contracts were entered into to manage our exposure to changes in the foreign currency exchange rate related to the forecasted cash receipts under this contract. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, this portion of these options is designated according to the hedge objective against specific forecasted cash receipts. The notional amounts, rates and maturities of these foreign currency options are closely matched to the related forecasted cash receipts. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, no portion of the changes in fair value of the foreign currency cash flow hedges were determined to be ineffective. The asset associated with these foreign currency cash flow hedges of approximately $22 is included in the Other Current Assets caption on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The remaining portion of the foreign currency option contracts do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting treatment. These foreign currency options were entered into for speculative purposes. Therefore, the change in fair market value of these derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $278, is included in Interest Income and Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Income Statement. The liability associated with this derivative of $278 is included in the Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses caption on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other detailed information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, or “expects”. For example, the statement regarding our belief as to the sufficiency of our cash position for the next twelve months is a forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all such projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating expectations will be realized. Our actual financial results realized could differ materially from the statements made herein, depending in particular upon the risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These include without limitation risks and uncertainties relating to our financial results and our ability to (i) reach profitability as early as anticipated, (ii) continue to rely on our customers and other third parties to provide additional products and services that create a demand for our products and services, (iii) conduct our business in foreign countries, (iv) adapt and integrate new technologies into our products, (v) expand our business offerings in the new wireless data industry, (vi) develop software without any errors or defects, (vii) protect our intellectual property rights, and (viii) implement our sales and marketing strategy. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgements, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We identified our most critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition for our contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method, capitalized software, intangible assets, and evaluation of impairment. We describe these accounting policies at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2001 annual report on Form 10-K.

We develop and license Network Application Software products that enable the delivery of internet content, short messages, location, presence and privacy information and other enhanced communication services to and from wireless devices, including phones, two-way pagers and personal digital assistants.

Our Network Applications Services include enhanced wireless E9-1-1, cross-carrier text message distribution services, maintenance and deployment of our software products, and development of custom

software applications. We deliver our enhanced E9-1-1 services via our carrier grade network operations centers, using our service bureau business model that allows customers to acquire use of our software functionality through network connections to and from our facilities and to pay us monthly based on usage volume.

Our Network Solutions segment designs, installs and operates wireless and wireline communication systems, including our Swiftlink™ compact deployable products, and high-speed, satellite, and internet protocol solutions for corporate and government customer enterprise networks.

We were founded in 1987 and initially provided network solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense and other government customers. In 1996, we entered into a development agreement with Lucent Technologies to develop and co-own the Short Message Service Center application software for wireless carrier customers. In January 2001, we acquired Xypoint Corporation and as a result, have become a leading provider of enhanced E9-1-1 services and location software to wireless carriers.

We have expanded our portfolio of proprietary wireless technology and, as of June 30, 2002, our customers included 43 wireless carrier networks around the world, including Verizon Wireless, Cingular Wireless, Voicestream, Telefonica and Hutchison 3G.

We manage our business in two segments, network applications and network solutions. Our network applications segment consists of the development and licensing of software products and the provision of related services. Our network solutions segment includes the design, development and deployment of complex information processing and communication systems and the provision of related services. The following table sets forth information on each of our segments:

A reconciliation of segment loss before interest, taxes and non-cash charges for both segments to loss from operations is as follows:

Our total backlog at June 30, 2002 was $61.7 million, an increase from $29.7 million at June 30, 2001. We expect to realize approximately $33.6 million of our backlog in the second half of 2002. The backlog at any given time may be affected by a number of factors, including contracts being renewed or new contracts being signed before existing contracts are completed. Accordingly, a comparison of backlog from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual shipments or future revenue.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, our aggregate revenue from various U.S. government agencies was approximately $16.5 million and revenue from our Lucent channel was approximately $2.9 million, compared to $10.4 million from the U.S. government and $5.5 million from Lucent for the same period in 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our aggregate revenue from various U.S. government agencies was approximately $11.1 million and revenue from our Lucent channel was approximately $1.4 million, compared to $5.3 million from the U.S. government and $1.8 million from Lucent for the same period in 2001.

In February 2002 we entered into a master agreement under which Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. will license the TCS Xypoint® Location Platform. We are deploying our Xypoint® Location Platform in the UK and one other country. Orders have been received for this software to be deployed in two more countries and in the second half of 2002 we expect to receive orders for deployment of this technology in at least two additional countries. Hutchison has announced that its services will be available in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Sweden and the UK.

Network Applications Revenue. We market our network application products and services by responding to requests for proposals, through our direct sales force and through channel partners. We generate network applications revenue from licensing of our software products, providing related maintenance and deployment services and from our service bureau offerings — enhanced E9-1-1 and Message Distribution Center. We also sell custom software applications. The Short Message Service Center, Wireless Internet Gateway and TCS Xypoint® Location Platform products are the principal generators of software license fees.

We have historically sold some of our network application software products through our channel relationship with Lucent. This sales process typically includes participation of our engineers along with Lucent in presenting our products to prospective customers. Lucent pays us initial license fees generally equal to 50% of the revenue it generates from sales of the Short Message Service Center application that we developed under our 1996 development agreement. For sales of our Wireless Internet Gateway, Lucent pays us initial fees which we negotiate on a case by case basis.

Initial licensing fees are a function of the number of subscribers in the network where our software is deployed. As a carrier’s subscriber base increases, the carrier must purchase additional capacity under its license agreement and we receive additional revenue. Generally, we recognize license fee revenue when each

of the following has occurred: (1) evidence of an arrangement is in place; (2) we have delivered software; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the fee is probable. Software projects that require significant customization are accounted for under the percentage of completion method. We measure progress to completion using costs incurred compared to estimated total costs. Software license fees billed and not recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue.

Our network applications service revenue arises from our enhanced E9-1-1 service bureau business, annual maintenance fees for our packaged software products and fees from development, implementation and maintenance of custom software. Revenue from our service bureau offerings consists of monthly recurring service fees and is recognized in the month earned. Service fees are primarily dependent on the number of subscribers the carrier covers or cell sites that provide E9-1-1 services for the carrier. As the carrier’s number of subscribers or cell sites increases, the monthly recurring service fees increase. Maintenance fees on packaged software are collected in advance and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Unrecognized maintenance fees are included in deferred revenue. Custom software development, implementation and maintenance services may be provided under time and materials or fixed-fee contracts. We recognize fixed-fee contract revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. We measure progress to completion using costs incurred compared to estimated total costs. We recognize estimated losses under long-term contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we did not accurately estimate total costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized.

Network Solutions Revenue. We generate network solutions revenue from the design, development and deployment of information processing and communication systems for corporate and government enterprises. Representative examples of recent network solutions projects include work performed under our agreements with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of State. We have delivered our SwiftLink™ product, a lightweight, secure, deployable communications system to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense. SwiftLink^TM provides secure voice, video and data communications, supports a worldwide network during trips abroad and throughout the United States and provides full network functionality and IP telephony capability using landlines and satellite-based technologies. During the first quarter of 2002, we began operation of our teleport facility in Baltimore, MD, which supports the integration of satellite communications and terrestrial wireless broadband with U.S. broadband networks. Through this teleport facility we now offer voice, video and data connectivity via satellite to North and South America, as well as Africa and Europe.

We generally provide network solutions under long-term contracts. We recognize revenue under long-term contracts as billable costs are incurred and for fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by total costs incurred compared to total estimated costs. We recognize estimated losses on contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we did not accurately estimate total costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Under our contracts with the U.S. government, contract costs, including the allocated indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. We record revenue under these contracts at estimated net realizable amounts.

Direct Cost of Network Applications. Our direct cost of network applications consists primarily of compensation, benefits, purchased equipment, third-party software and travel expenses incurred when providing our services, as well as the cost of our network operations centers circuits for connectivity to carrier customers and Public Safety Answering Points.

Direct Cost of Network Solutions. Our direct cost of network solutions consists primarily of compensation, benefits, travel, purchased equipment and the costs of third-party contractors that we engage. Our direct costs of providing services under long-term contracts include an allocation of indirect costs at rates that comply with federal contractor cost accounting regulations.

Research and Development Expense. Our research and development expense consists of the costs of developing software products incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established when all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that

the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements have been completed. We incur research and development costs to enhance existing packaged software products as well as to create new software products. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits as well as costs associated with using third party laboratory and testing resources. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Our sales and marketing expenses include compensation and benefits, trade show, travel, advertising and public relations costs which are expensed as incurred. Our marketing efforts also include speaking engagements and attending and sponsoring industry conferences. We sell our network applications products and services through our direct sales force and through indirect channels. We have also historically leveraged our relationship with Lucent to market our network application software products to wireless carrier customers and we added Motorola as a sales channel in 2001. We sell our network solutions primarily through direct sales professionals.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation costs and other costs associated with management, finance, human resources and internal information systems. These costs include compensation and benefits, rent, utilities and other facilities costs which are expensed as incurred.

Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation Expense. During the second and third quarters of 2000, we granted options to purchase 885,983 shares of Class A Common Stock to employees and directors at an exercise price less than the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. We will record future additional stock compensation expense of approximately $4.2 million as a result of these option grants that will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period. During the first half of 2002, we recognized approximately $0.9 million of stock compensation expense related to these grants.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense (other than amortization of software development costs) represents the period costs associated with our investment in computers, telephony equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Amortization of Software Development Costs. We capitalize software development costs after we establish technological feasibility, and amortize those costs over the estimated useful life of the software beginning on the date when the software is first available for general release. We calculate amortization of software development costs on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is never greater than four years. We also compute amortization using the ratio that current revenue for the product bears to the total of current and anticipated future revenue for that product. If this revenue curve method results in amortization greater than the amount computed using the straight-line method, we record amortization at that greater amount. Amortization as a percentage of software license fees is generally a higher percentage in the early stages of a product’s life cycle. Our policies to determine when to capitalize software development costs and how much to amortize in a given period requires us to make subjective estimates and judgements. If our software products do not achieve the level of market acceptance that we expect and our future revenue estimates for these products change, the amount of amortization that we record may increase compared to prior periods.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Other intangible assets consist of acquired trade name. These intangible assets are being amortized over three years using the straight-line method. In assessing the recoverability of our intangible assets we make assumptions regarding the remaining useful life, estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets. These estimates could change significantly based on changes in our strategy and/or market conditions. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge for our intangible assets.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense). Interest income and other income (expense) consists of interest income earned on cash equivalents, foreign currency transaction gain or loss, and other income (expense) related to recording our investment activities.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Revenue. Total revenue increased $7.6 million, or 47%, to $23.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $16.3 million in the same period in 2001.

Total network applications revenue increased $1.1 million, or 11%, to $10.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $9.8 million in the same period in 2001. Network application software license revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 10%, to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $3.1 million in the same period in 2001. The decrease is a result of a slowdown in carrier purchases of licenses that began in the second quarter of 2001 offset by license revenue from a large location platform project. Network application service revenue increased $1.3 million, or 20%, to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2001. This increase is primarily due to the growth in our E9-1-1 business during 2001 and the first half of 2002.

Network solutions revenue increased $6.6 million, or 103%, to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $6.4 million in the same period in 2001. This increase is primarily due to the increase in revenue from the completion of a major component of a new multi-month project and sales of our SwiftLink™ deployable communication systems.

Direct Cost of Revenue. Total direct cost of revenue increased $8.1 million, or 99%, to $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $8.2 million in the same period in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenue increased to 68% in the second quarter of 2002 from 50% in the second quarter of 2001.

Direct cost of network applications increased $2.4 million, or 64%, to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $3.8 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in direct cost of network applications is primarily a result of an increase in costs associated with E9-1-1 deployment and operations and a large location platform project. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network applications increased from 39% in the second quarter of 2001 to 58% in the first quarter of 2002. The increase in direct cost of network applications as a percentage of revenue is due to lower margins in our service bureau business resulting from pricing pressures as well as an increase in software projects that require significant customization. These types of software projects generally have a lower margin than software sales that do not require customization.

Direct cost of network solutions increased $5.7 million, or 131%, to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $4.3 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in direct cost of network solutions is a result of the increase in network solutions revenue. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network solutions increased to 77% in the second quarter of 2002 from 68% for the second quarter 2001. Network solutions projects have variable margins that fluctuate based on the type and complexity of the projects. The variances in margins between periods are primarily due to changes in the mix of projects.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense was $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is due to the timing and mix of projects in development. Specifically in 2001, research and development expense included projects related to Nomad. Development on those projects were ceased, because management did not believe that market demand was sufficient to warrant further development and commitment of resources.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense decreased $1.6 million, or 40%, to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $4.0 million for the same period of 2001. Our sales and marketing expenses have decreased due to an effort to more effectively target certain markets while reducing overall operating expenses.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense decreased $0.7 million, or 18%, to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $3.9 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects management’s focus to reduce costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $0.5 million, or 44%, to $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the increase in equipment acquired for our network operations center, software testing and local area network (LAN) updates during the second half of 2001.

Amortization of Software Development Costs. Amortization of software development costs decreased to $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.2 million for the same period in 2001. Amortization expense as a percentage of software license fees were approximately 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles aggregated $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2001. In September 2001, we recorded an impairment charge of $43.0 million, of which approximately $39.0 million related to goodwill and $4.0 million related to acquired technology. The remaining identifiable intangible asset of approximately $1.6 million consists of a trade name acquired in the Xypoint acquisition and will continue to be amortized over the remaining useful life of 18 months.

Interest Expense and Other Financing Expenses. Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 50%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in interest expense is due to the increases in capital leases in 2001 and fees associated with obtaining our new line of credit.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense). Interest income and other income (expense) was $(0.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2001. The change in interest income and other income (expense) was primarily due to recording foreign exchange options at fair market value and a decrease in interest income earned. See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more details on our derivative activities.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to a net loss of $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 due to the factors described above.

Revenue. Total revenue increased $7.4 million, or 22%, to $40.8 million in the first half of 2002 from $33.4 million in the same period in 2001.

Total network applications revenue increased $2.5 million, or 13%, to $21.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 from $18.9 million in the same period in 2001. Network application software license revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 21%, to $5.1 million in the first six months of 2002 from $6.5 million in the same period in 2001. The decrease is a result of a slowdown in carrier purchases of licenses that began in the second quarter of 2001 partially offset by license revenue from a large location platform project. Network application service revenue increased $3.8 million, or 31%, to $16.2 million in the first six months of 2001 from $12.4 million in the first six months of 2001. This increase is primarily due to the growth in our E9-1-1 business during 2001 and the first half of 2002.

Network solutions revenue increased $4.9 million, or 34%, to $19.4 million for the first six months of 2002 from $14.5 million in the same period in 2001. Revenue in the first six months of 2002 was higher than in the same period in 2001 primarily due to the completion of a major component of a new multi-month project and sales of our SwiftLink™ deployable communication systems.

Direct Cost of Revenue. Total direct cost of revenue increased $9.4 million, or 55%, to $26.6 million in first six months of 2002 from $17.2 million in the same period in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenue increased to 65% in the first six months of 2002 from 51% in the first half of 2001.

Direct cost of network applications increased $4.9 million, or 70%, to $11.9 million in the first half of 2002 from $7.0 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in direct cost of network applications is primarily a result of an increase in costs associated with E9-1-1 deployment and operations and a large location platform

project. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network applications increased from 37% in the first six months of 2001 compared to 56% in the first six months of 2002. The increase in direct cost of network applications as a percentage of revenue is due to lower margins in our service bureau business resulting from pricing pressures as well as an increase in software projects that require significant customization. These types of software projects generally have a lower margin than software sales that do not require customization.

Direct cost of network solutions increased $4.5 million, or 44%, to $14.7 million in the first six months of 2002 from $10.2 million for the same period in 2001. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network solutions increased to 76% in the first half of 2002 from 70% for same period in 2001. Network solutions projects have variable margins that fluctuate based on the type and complexity of the projects. The variances in margins between periods are primarily due to changes in the mix of projects.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense decreased $0.6 million, or 7%, to $8.5 million in the first six months of 2002 from $9.1 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease is due to the timing and mix of projects in development. Specifically in 2001, research and development expense included projects related to Nomad. Development on those projects were ceased, because management did not believe that market demand was sufficient to warrant further development and commitment of resources.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense decreased $2.6 million, or 32%, to $5.4 million in the first half of 2002 from $8.0 million for the same period of 2001. Our sales and marketing expenses have decreased due to an effort to more effectively target certain markets while reducing overall operating expenses.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense decreased $1.2 million, or 15%, to $6.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $7.6 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects management’s focus to reduce costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $1.2 million, or 58%, to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.0 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the increase in equipment acquired for our network operations center, software testing and local area network (LAN) updates during the second half of 2001.

Amortization of Software Development Costs. Amortization of software development costs increased to $2.4 million in the first six months of 2002 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2001. Amortization expense as a percentage of software license fees increased to 47% in the first six months of 2002 from 33% for the same period in 2001 as a result of the decrease of software license fee revenue that has been recognized in the half of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles aggregated $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2001. In September 2001, we recorded an impairment charge of $43.0 million, of which approximately $39.0 million related to goodwill and $4.0 million related to acquired technology. The remaining identifiable intangible assets of approximately $1.6 million consist of trade name acquired in the Xypoint acquisition and will continue to be amortized over the remaining useful life of 18 months.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development. In connection with our acquisition of Xypoint in January 2001, we allocated $9.7 million of the $69.1 million purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation represented the estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows related to the incomplete research and development projects. At the time of acquisition, the progress of these technologies had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date.

In September 2001, we ceased further development of two technologies — Nomad and InfoLink — as we did not believe that market demand was sufficient to warrant further development and commitment of resources. As of June 30, 2002, the remaining four technologies that were underway as of the acquisition have been completed and have been incorporated into our E9-1-1 service bureau offering, Voyager platform and Xypoint® Location Platform. We completed the core development of these technologies within our original

estimate of $6.7 million. The four completed technologies will continue to be enhanced as our product offerings and platforms evolve.

Interest Expense and Other Financing Expenses. Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 166%, to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in interest expense is due to the increases in capital leases in 2001 and fees associated with obtaining our new line of credit.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense). Interest income and other income (expense) was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2001. The change in interest and other income (expenses) was primarily due to recording foreign exchange options at fair market value and a decrease in interest income earned. See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more details on our derivative activities.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $13.4 million in the first six months of 2002 compared to a net loss of $28.7 million in the first half of 2001 due to the factors described above.

We have funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily using net proceeds from our initial public offering in August 2000, which generated approximately $83.2 million, as well as revenue from our operations and various borrowing arrangements. In 2001, our borrowing arrangements provided funding primarily through capital lease obligations. As of June 30, 2002, we had $26.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $33.5 million.

Net cash used in operations for the first six months of 2002 increased $4.2 million compared to the same period in 2001. Net cash used in operations increased primarily due to changes in working capital requirements. The changes in our working capital vary primarily based on the timing of billings and collections for long-term projects and license sales.

Net cash used in investing activities includes expenditures related to telecommunications and computer hardware as well as investments in network application software development. The increase in our investment in network application software development in the first half of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 is due to the capitalization of development costs for a new product offering, the TCS Xypoint® Location Platform (XLP).

As of June 30, 2002, our most significant commitments consisted of obligations under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases. We lease certain furniture and computer equipment under capital leases. We lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. As of June 30, 2002 our commitments consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

In May 2002, we entered into an agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a $15.0 million line of credit. The line of credit is secured by accounts receivable and bears an interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The line of credit will expire in April 2004. As of August 13, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, and the funds anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next twelve months. Although we currently believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements beyond the next twelve months, unanticipated events and opportunities may make it necessary for us to return to the public markets or utilize credit facilities or raise capital in private transactions in order to meet our capital requirements.

During 2001 and 2000, we made loans to six senior executives, including our founder and CEO, totaling $4.9 million. A loan of $1.3 million was made in late 2000 to one executive as part of a recruitment package and was repaid in December 2001. A loan of $2.5 million to our founder and Chief Executive Officer was made as a successor to a share sale program which had resulted in chronic downward pressure on the market price of our common stock. The other executives incurred obligations primarily from taxes incurred by them as a result of their exercise of stock options to acquire shares of our common stock at the time of our initial public offering. We concluded that concentrated selling of our stock by insiders during a period of thin trading volume and depressed market conditions would not be in the best interests of shareholders. All loans and their terms were presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. These loans bear interest based on the prime rate plus one to two percent (i.e. from 6.5% to 7.5%) and meet Internal Revenue Service guidelines. As of June 30, 2002, loans due from officers totaled $2.8 million. Substantially all of the remaining loans mature in 2002. All loans to employees are full recourse and are collateralized by shares of our stock owned by the employees and their in-the-money vested stock options.

We have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. The interest rate on our revolving line of credit facility varies depending on the lender’s prime rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the lender’s prime rate would have an immaterial annual impact on our results of operations. Our capital leases have fixed interest rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not materially impact our results of operations. At June 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of demand deposits and money market accounts that are interest rate sensitive. However, these investments have short maturities mitigating their sensitivity to interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse movement (decrease) in interest rates would increase our net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 by less than $85,000 and $195,000, respectively, resulting in no significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2002, we entered into a contract for the sale of our products and services, which is denominated in British Pounds Sterling. Fluctuations in the value of the British Pound Sterling relative to the United States dollar could cause us to incur foreign currency exchange gains or losses. Under the terms of this contract, we will be paid in British Pounds Sterling which exposes us to foreign currency exchange risk.

In April 2002, we entered into several foreign currency option contracts. A portion of the option contracts, notional amount 4.6 million British Pound Sterling, were entered into to manage our exposure to changes in the foreign currency exchange rate related to the forecasted cash receipts under this contract. These foreign currency options were used to convert the variable exchange rate on forecasted cash receipts into fixed exchange rates. Because of the effectiveness of our hedge associated with the forecasted cash receipts, the change in fair value of our foreign currency options resulting from changes in the exchange rate is reported as a component of other comprehensive income.

The remaining portion of the foreign currency option contracts do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting treatment. These foreign currency options were entered into for speculative purposes.

In November 2001, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed against us, certain of our current officers and a director, and several investment banks that were the underwriters of our initial public offering (the “Underwriters”): Highstein v. Telecommunication Systems, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 01-CV-9500. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. The lawsuit purports to be a class action suit filed on behalf of purchasers of our common stock during the period August 8, 2000 through December 6, 2000. The plaintiffs allege that the Underwriters agreed to allocate common stock offered for sale in our initial public offering to certain purchasers in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those purchasers to make additional purchases of common stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The plaintiffs allege that all of the defendants violated Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the underwriters violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. We intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit. We believe that more than 300 other companies have been named in nearly identical lawsuits that have been filed by some of the same law firms that represent the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against us.

We are not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. However, we may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

From August 7, 2000, the effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, to June 30, 2002, the Company’s use of net offering proceeds was as follows:

On June 13, 2002, we held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Two matters were submitted to the stockholders for consideration:

	By:	/s/ MAURICE B. TOSÉ



	Maurice B. Tosé
	President and Chief Executive Officer

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the Registrant in the capacities and on the dates indicated.

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date (the “Closing Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Silicon”), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California, 95054 and with a loan production office located at 3343 Peachtree Road, N.W., Suite 312, Atlanta, Georgia 30326 and the borrower named above (the “Borrower”), whose chief executive office is located at the above address (“Borrower’s Address”). The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and the same is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)

1.1 Loans. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the “Loans”), in amounts determined by Silicon in its good faith business judgment, up to the amounts (the “Credit Limit”) shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of Reserves for accrued interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time in its good faith business judgment. The Borrower may from time to time, by giving Silicon prior written notice (a “Non-Borrowing Notice”), elect to cease requesting Loans under this Agreement and during such period, Silicon shall have no further obligation to make any such Loans (such periods each being called a “Non-Borrowing Period”). Each Non-Borrowing Notice shall be given to Silicon in accordance with Section 9.5 of this Agreement and shall set forth the date on which the Non-Borrowing Period shall commence, which date must be not earlier than one (1) Business Days after the date on which Silicon receives such notice and shall be signed by an officer of the Borrower. The Borrower may terminate a Non-Borrowing Period by giving Silicon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its desire to terminate such Non-Borrowing Period, which notice once received, is not revocable.

1.2 Interest. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon’s discretion, be charged to Borrower’s loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to Borrower’s Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon. Silicon will provide Borrower with notice prior to any debit of Borrower’s loan account for any regularly scheduled payment.

1.3 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the total of all outstanding Loans and all other monetary Obligations, including, without limitation, the amount of all Equipment Loans, Exim Loans and the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, exceeds the Credit Limit (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Silicon the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

1.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are not refundable.

1.5 Loan Requests. To obtain a Loan, Borrower shall make a request to Silicon by facsimile or telephone. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon (Pacific standard time) will not be considered by Silicon until the next Business Day. Silicon may

rely on any telephone request for a Loan given by a person whom Silicon believes is an authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify Silicon for any loss Silicon suffers as a result of that reliance.

1.6 International Transactions (Letters of Credit and Foreign Exchange Exposure).

(a) At the request of Borrower, Silicon may, in its good faith business judgment, issue or arrange for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of Borrower, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion (collectively, “Letters of Credit”). The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit from time to time outstanding and all FX Forward Contracts and the amount of all FX Reserves shall not exceed the amount shown on the Schedule (the “International Transactions Sublimit”), and shall be reserved against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder, and in the event at any time there are insufficient Loans available to Borrower for such reserve, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with Silicon cash collateral in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency, which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all bank charges (including charges of Silicon) for the issuance of Letters of Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon’s letter of credit department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Silicon harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by Silicon, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Silicon arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit. Borrower agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guaranteed by Silicon and opened for Borrower’s account or by Silicon’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Silicon shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that Letters of Credit may require Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Silicon harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Silicon under any Letter of Credit as a result of Silicon’s indemnification of any such issuing bank. The provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any other Loan Documents relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative.

(b) To the extent there is availability under the International Transactions Sublimit, the Borrower may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts with Silicon under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Silicon a set amount of foreign currency more than one (1) Business Day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Silicon will subtract ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reserve”) from the International Transactions Sublimit. The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. Silicon may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

1.7 Equipment Loans. At the request of Borrower, Silicon will make equipment term loans to Borrower (the “Equipment Loans”), in amounts determined by Silicon in its good faith business judgment, up to the Credit Limit shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Equipment Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the Schedule.

1.8 EximBank Loans. At the request of Borrower, as part of the Loans, Silicon may, subject to the satisfaction of cetain conditions set forth herein, make certain Loans against Eligible Foreign Accounts (collectively, “Exim Loans” and each an “Exim Loan”). The aggregate face amount of all Exim Loans from time to time outstanding shall not exceed the amount shown on the Schedule (the “Exim Loan Sublimit”), and shall be reserved against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder. Prior to making any Exim Loan, Silicon shall have received (a) a fully executed Borrower Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Silicon, (b) a fully executed Loan Authorization Notice in form and substance satisfactory to Silicon, (c) payment of the Exim Bank Loan Fee, (d) a fully executed Exim Bank Loan and Security Agreement, and (e) such other documents as Silicon may deem necessary in connection with the Exim Loans (collectively, the “Exim Loan Documents”).

2. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Silicon a security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles; all Investment Property; all other property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above,

and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrower’s books relating to any and all of the above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not be deemed to include any Intellectual Property, except that the Collateral shall include the proceeds of all the Intellectual Property that are Accounts of Borrower, or General Intangibles consisting of rights to payment, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and General Intangibles of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Silicon’s security interest in such Accounts and General Intangibles of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property.

In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:

3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or Borrower’s by-laws, or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.

3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed in the Representations are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Borrower shall give Silicon ten (10) days’ prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower’s chief executive office. In addition, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations. Borrower will notify Silicon within thirty (30) days of opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that Borrower may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $10,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.

(a) Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others.

(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, and Borrower will give Silicon three (3) Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Silicon a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Silicon’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Silicon in its good faith business judgment. Nothing herein limits any requirements which may be set forth in the Schedule as to where Deposit Accounts will be maintained.

(c) In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $500,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Silicon thereof in writing and provide Silicon with such information regarding the same as Silicon shall request (unless providing such information would waive the Borrower’s attorney-client privilege). Such notification to Silicon shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Silicon, and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Silicon shall request in connection therewith.

(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower’s right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify in its good faith business judgment. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will promptly advise Silicon in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.

3.6 Books and Records. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower’s Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with GAAP.

3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly present the results of operations and financial condition of Borrower, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.

3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed, and will timely file, all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith contests Borrower’s obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has, to the best of its knowledge, complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower’s ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower’s business, and all environmental matters.

3.10 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower’s knowledge) threatened against or affecting Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which could reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change. Borrower will promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrower involving any single claim of $50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate.

3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock.”

3.12 Operating Subsidiaries. All of Borrower’s operating Subsidiaries are parties to this Agreement.

4.1 Representations Relating to Accounts. Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows: Each Account with respect to which Loans are requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made, (i) represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of services, or the non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property, in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, and (ii) meet the Minimum Eligibility Requirements set forth in Section 8 below.

4.2 Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows: All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of Borrower’s books and records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

4.3 Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Silicon transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in the Schedule, on Silicon’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Silicon’s security interest and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor shall Silicon’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Silicon’s security interest and other rights therein. If requested by Silicon in its reasonable judgment, Borrower shall furnish Silicon with copies (or, at Silicon’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Silicon an aged accounts receivable trial balance as provided in the Schedule. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Silicon, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all credit memos.

4.4 Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall have the right to collect all Accounts, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts in trust for Silicon, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Silicon in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine. Silicon may, in its good faith business judgment, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Silicon may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Silicon may specify in its good faith business judgment.

4.5. Remittance of Proceeds. All proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to Silicon in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Silicon the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for a purchase price of $25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Silicon. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

4.6 Disputes. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm’s length transactions, which are reported to Silicon on the regular

reports provided to Silicon; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit.

4.7 Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Silicon, and immediately notify Silicon of the return of the Inventory.

4.8 Verification. Silicon may, from time to time, verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose. Silicon will provide Borrower with notice of any such action.

4.9 No Liability. Silicon shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.10 Exim Insurance. If required by Silicon, at all times that any Exim Loans are outstanding, Borrower will obtain, and pay when due all premiums with respect to, and maintain uninterrupted foreign credit insurance. In addition, Borrower will execute in favor of Silicon an assignment of proceeds of any insurance policy obtained by Borrower and issued by Exim Bank insuring against comprehensive commercial and political risk (the “EXIM Bank Policy”). The insurance proceeds from the EXIM Bank Policy assigned or paid to Silicon will be applied to the balance outstanding of Exim Loans made under this Agreement. Borrower will immediately notify Bank and Exim Bank in writing upon submission of any claim under the Exim Bank Policy. Then Silicon will not be obligated to make any further Loans to Borrower without prior approval from Exim Bank.

4.11 Subsidiaries. Borrower will cause any operating Subsidiaries in existence after the date hereof, to promptly become parties to this Agreement.

5.1 Financial and Other Covenants. Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

5.2 Insurance. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Silicon, in such form and amounts as Silicon may reasonably require and that are customary and in accordance with standard practices for Borrower’s industry and locations, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to Silicon. All such insurance policies shall name Silicon as an additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as Silicon shall determine in its good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than $100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Silicon may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Silicon may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Silicon copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.

5.3 Reports. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Silicon with the written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with respect to Borrower (including budgets and forecasts), as Silicon shall from time to time specify in its good faith business judgment.

5.4 Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times, and on one Business Day’s notice, Silicon, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s books and records. Silicon shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Silicon shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or

other legal process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Silicon’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out of pocket expenses, provided however that it is agreed that the cost of the first inspection and audit will not exceed $7,500, and further provided, that if at the time of such inspection and audit no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the cost of such inspections and audits will not exceed $15,000 in any twelve (12) month period and such inspections and audits will not be conducted more frequently than once in any calendar quarter.

5.5 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Silicon’s prior written consent (which shall be a matter of its good faith business judgment), do any of the following: (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity (each an “Acquisition” and collectively, the “Acquisitions”) during the existence of this Agreement unless each of the following conditions precedent are in Silicon’s discretion satisfied: [*] Borrower further understands and agrees that in the event any Acquisition satisfies the foregoing conditions, Silicon shall not include any Accounts of such Target in the Eligible Accounts unless and until Silicon has performed an audit of such Accounts, the results of which are satisfactory to Silicon; (ii) acquire any assets in excess of [*] in the aggregate , except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any other transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer any Collateral, except for the sale of finished Inventory in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, and except for the sale of obsolete or unneeded Equipment in the ordinary course of business; (v) store any Inventory or other Collateral with any warehouseman or other third party; (vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale, consignment, or other contingent basis; (vii) make any loans of any money or other assets; (viii) incur any debts, outside the ordinary course of business, which would result in a Material Adverse Change; (ix) guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to the obligations of another party or entity; (x) pay or declare any dividends on Borrower’s stock (except for dividends payable solely in stock of Borrower); (xi) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of Borrower’s stock in an aggregate amount to exceed [*], provided that at the time of any such redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition, and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (xii) make any change in Borrower’s capital structure which would result in a Material Adverse Change; or (xiii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto; (xiv) dissolve or elect to dissolve; (xv) at such times as any Exim Loans are outstanding, violate or fail to comply with any provision of the Borrower Agreement; (xvi) at such times as any Exim Loans are outstanding, take an action, or permit any action to be taken, that causes, or could be expected to cause, the Exim Guarantee to not be in full force and effect; or (xvii) make any loans, advances or transfer any assets to any Affiliate or subsidiary of any Borrower which has not become a party to this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only permitted if no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such transaction.

5.6 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon, make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and records, to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.

5.7 Further Assurances. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Silicon, may, in its good faith business judgment, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Silicon’s perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.1 Maturity Date. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the “Maturity Date”), subject to Section 6.3 below.

6.2 Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Silicon; or (ii) by Silicon at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately. If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Silicon under this Section 6.2, Borrower shall pay to Silicon a termination fee in an amount equal to [*] of the Maximum Credit Limit, provided that no termination fee shall be charged if the credit facility hereunder is replaced with a new facility from another division of Silicon Valley Bank. The termination fee shall be due and payable on

the effective date of termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

6.3 Payment of Obligations. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier effective date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all Obligations, including, without limitation all Exim Loans and all Equipment Loans, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution based upon an application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees and cost due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Silicon in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Silicon’s then standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all of Silicon’s security interests in all of the Collateral and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided that Silicon may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans after termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or remedy of Silicon, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and termination of this Agreement, Silicon shall promptly terminate its financing statements with respect to the Borrower and deliver to Borrower such other documents as may be required to fully terminate Silicon’s security interests.

The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement, and Borrower shall give Silicon immediate written notice thereof: (a) Any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate made or delivered to Silicon by Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers, employees or agents, now or in the future, shall be untrue or misleading in a material respect when made or deemed to be made; or (b) Borrower shall fail to pay when due any Loan or any interest thereon or any other monetary Obligation; or (c) the total Loans and other Obligations outstanding at any time shall exceed the Credit Limit; or (d) Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the financial covenants set forth in the Schedule, or shall fail to perform any other non-monetary Obligation which by its nature cannot be cured, or shall fail to permit Silicon to conduct an inspection or audit as specified in Section 5.4 hereof; or (e) Borrower shall fail to perform any other non-monetary Obligation, which failure is not cured within five Business Days after the date due; or (f) any levy, assessment, attachment, seizure, lien or encumbrance (other than a Permitted Lien) is made on all or any part of the Collateral which is not cured within 10 days after the occurrence of the same; or (g) any default or event of default occurs under any obligation secured by a Permitted Lien, which is not cured within any applicable cure period or waived in writing by the holder of the Permitted Lien; or (h) Borrower breaches any material contract or obligation, which has resulted or may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; or (i) Dissolution, termination of existence, insolvency or business failure of Borrower; or appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian, for all or any part of the property of, assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceeding by Borrower under any reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, now or in the future in effect; or (j) the commencement of any proceeding against Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations under any reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, now or in the future in effect, which is not cured by the dismissal thereof within 30 days after the date commenced; or (k) revocation or termination of, or limitation or denial of liability upon, any guaranty of the Obligations or any attempt to do any of the foregoing, or commencement of proceedings by any guarantor of any of the Obligations under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; or (l) revocation or termination of, or limitation or denial of liability upon, any pledge of any certificate of deposit, securities or other property or asset of any kind pledged by any third party to secure any or all of the Obligations, or any attempt to do any of the foregoing, or commencement of proceedings by or against any such third party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; or (m) Borrower makes any payment on account of any indebtedness or obligation which has been subordinated to the Obligations other than as permitted in the applicable subordination agreement, or if any Person who has subordinated such indebtedness or obligations terminates or in any way limits his subordination agreement; or (n) Borrower shall generally not pay its debts as they become due, or Borrower shall conceal, remove or transfer any part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors, or make or suffer any transfer of any of its property which may be fraudulent under any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law; or (o) a Material Adverse Change shall occur; or (p) Silicon, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, deems

itself insecure because of the occurrence of an event prior to the effective date hereof of which Silicon had no knowledge on the effective date or because of the occurrence of an event on or subsequent to the effective date, or (q) if the Exim Guarantee ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or (r) if the Exim Bank declares the Exim Guarantee void or revokes any obligations under the Exim Guarantee. Silicon may cease making any Loans hereunder during any of the above cure periods, and thereafter if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of Borrower’s premises without interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as Silicon deems it necessary, in its good faith business judgment, in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession of any of the Collateral by court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Silicon retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Silicon at places designated by Silicon which are reasonably convenient to Silicon and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon may deem advisable; (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to use Borrower’s premises, vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, and other Equipment and all other property without charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it or after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to conduct such disposition on Borrower’s premises without charge, for such time or times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon’s premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale; (g) Demand payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Silicon to endorse or sign Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon’s good faith business judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of Borrower’s general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon against any or all of the Obligations; and (i) Demand and receive possession of any of Borrower’s federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or referring thereto. All reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Without limiting any of Silicon’s rights and remedies, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four percent per annum (the “Default Rate”).

7.3 Standards for Determining Commercial Reasonableness. Borrower and Silicon agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, “sale”) of any Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Borrower at least ten days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the sale is published at least five days before the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a place designated by Silicon, with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; (v) Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier’s check or wire transfer is required;

7.4 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting Silicon’s other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower’s expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower’s name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Silicon may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Silicon’s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Silicon, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other Loan Documents; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Account, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon’s possession; (d) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by Silicon; (e) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (g) Pay any sums required on account of Borrower’s taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (h) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (j) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall Silicon’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon’s other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.

7.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Silicon in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its good faith business judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor.

7.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

Other Terms. All accounting terms used in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings given to such terms in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings provided by the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

9.1 Interest Computation. In computing interest on the Obligations, all wire transfers shall be deemed applied on account of the Obligations on the day of receipt by Silicon thereof and all checks and other items of payment received by Silicon (including proceeds of Accounts and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations two (2) Business Days after receipt by Silicon. For purposes of the foregoing, any such funds received after 12:00 Noon (Pacific standard time) on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Silicon shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Silicon in its good faith business judgment, and Silicon may charge Borrower’s loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Silicon unpaid.

9.2 Application of Payments. All payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied, and in Silicon’s good faith business judgment reversed and re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Silicon shall determine in its good faith business judgment.

9.3 Charges to Accounts. Silicon may, in its discretion, require that Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to Borrower’s Loan account with notice, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, but without notice thereafter, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any monetary Obligations to Borrower’s Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

9.4 Monthly Accountings. Silicon shall provide Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Silicon), unless Borrower notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within 60 days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.

9.5 Notices. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or by fax or email or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested, addressed to Silicon or Borrower at each of the addresses shown in the heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the other party. Any notices given by fax or email must be followed by notice by another of the means set forth above to be effective. Notices to Silicon shall be directed to the Commercial Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division Credit Manager. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one Business Day following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business Days following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.

9.6 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

9.7 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith.

9.8 Waivers; Indemnity. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive or diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives the benefit of all statutes of limitations relating to any of the Obligations or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower

waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Silicon on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Silicon and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), of every kind, which they may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Obligations, or any relationship or agreement between Silicon and Borrower, or any other matter, relating to Borrower or the Obligations; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to damages proximately caused by the indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct and further provided that in any action or proceeding between Borrower and Silicon arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Documents, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.

9.9 No Liability for Ordinary Negligence. Neither Silicon, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.10 Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized officer of Silicon.

9.11 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

9.12 Attorneys Fees and Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon, pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs Silicon incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present and future documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower’s books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce Silicon’s security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Silicon in any litigation relating to Borrower. In satisfying Borrower’s obligation hereunder to reimburse Silicon for attorneys fees, Borrower may, for convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon’s attorneys, Troutman Sanders LLP, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Troutman Sanders LLP is representing only Silicon and not Borrower in connection with this Agreement. If either Silicon or Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys’ fees and costs to which Silicon may be entitled pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrower’s Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

9.13 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Silicon; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.

9.14 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

9.15 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of Silicon, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of Silicon, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of Silicon in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

9.16 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Silicon acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against Silicon or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise.

9.17 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Silicon and Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. As a material part of the consideration to Silicon to enter into this Agreement, Borrower (i) agrees that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall, at Silicon’s option, be litigated in courts located within Maryland, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Santa Clara County; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Borrower may have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such action or proceeding.

9.18 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Borrower and Silicon each hereby waives the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to, this Agreement or any other present or future instrument or agreement between Silicon and Borrower, or any conduct, acts or omissions of Silicon or Borrower or any of their directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other persons affiliated with Silicon or Borrower, in all of the foregoing cases, whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise.

9.19 Exim Notification. Silicon has the right to immediately notify Exim Bank in writing if it has knowledge of any of the following events: (1) any failure to pay any amount due under this Agreement; (2) the Exim Borrowing Base is less than the sum of the outstanding Exim Loans; (3) any failure to pay when due any amount payable to Silicon under any Loan owing by Borrower to Silicon; (4) the filing of an action for debtor’s relief by, against or on behalf of Borrower; (5) any threatened or pending material litigation against Borrower, or any dispute involving Borrower. If Silicon sends a notice to Exim Bank, Silicon has the right to send Exim Bank a written report on the status of events covered by the notice every thirty (30) days after the date of the original notification, until Silicon files a claim with Exim Bank or the defaults have been cured (but no Loans may be required during the cure period unless Exim Bank gives its written approval). If directed by Exim Bank, Silicon will have the right to exercise any rights it may have against Borrower to demand the immediate repayment of all amount outstanding under the Loans.

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between Silicon Valley Bank and the above-borrower of even date.

CREDIT LIMIT (Section 1.1):	An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) at any one time outstanding (the “Maximum Credit Limit”), less the amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit, FX Forward Contracts, FX Reserves, Equipment Loans and Exim Loans; or (ii) eighty percent (80%) (the “Advance Rate”) of the amount of Borrower’s Eligible Receivables (as defined in Section 8 above), less the amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit, FX Forward Contracts, FX Reserves, Equipment Loans and Exim Loans.









		Silicon may, from time to time, modify the Advance Rate, in its good faith business judgment, upon notice to the Borrower, based on changes in collection experience with respect to Accounts or other issues or factors relating to the Accounts or other Collateral.









	International Transactions Sublimit (Section 1.6):	Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000).









	Equipment Loan Sublimit (Section 1.7):	Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

Interest Rate (Section 1.2):




		Except as set forth below with respect to Equipment Loans, all Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to [*] per annum.









		Interest on all Equipment Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to [*] per annum.









		“Prime Rate” means the rate announced from time to time by Silicon as its “prime rate;” it is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not necessarily the best rate available at Silicon. The interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate.









		Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.


Loan Fee:		[*], payable concurrently herewith. Upon the closing of the Exim Loan Sublimit, Silicon will give Borrower a pro-rata credit for the Exim Bank Loan Fee due hereunder.









Collateral Monitoring Fee:		[*], per month, payable in arrears (prorated for any partial month at the beginning and at termination of this Agreement). Silicon agrees to waive the Collateral Monitoring Fee for any month in which the Borrower maintains monthly average balances in deposit and investment accounts with Silicon in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).









Unused Portion Fee:		The Borrower shall pay to Silicon a fee (collectively, the “Unused Line Fees” and individually, a “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to [*] per annum of the average daily unused and undisbursed portion of the Maximum Credit Limit accruing during each month. The accrued and unpaid portion of the Unused Line Fee shall be paid by the Borrower to Silicon on the first day of each month, commencing on the first such date following the date hereof, and on the Maturity Date. Silicon agrees to waive the Unused Line Fee for any month in which the Borrower maintains monthly average balances in deposit and investment accounts with Silicon in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).






Exim Bank Loan Fee		[*] of the Exim Bank Loan Sublimit is due and payable in accordance with Section 1.8 of the Agreement, and annually thereafter.


		Borrower may request Equipment Loans from the Closing Date through September 30, 2002 (the “Equipment Availability End Date”), and Silicon will make Equipment Loans not exceeding the Equipment Sublimit. To obtain an Equipment Loan, Borrower will deliver to Silicon copies of invoices for the Equipment being financed, together with a UCC Financing Statement, if requested by Silicon, covering the Equipment described thereon, and such additional information as Bank may request at least five (5) Business Days before the proposed funding date. The Equipment Loans may only be used to finance or refinance Equipment purchased on or after ninety (90) days before the date of each Equipment Loan and may not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the equipment invoice, excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expense. Software may constitute up to twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Equipment Loans. Each Equipment Loan must be for a minimum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The number of Equipment Loans is limited to four (4).









		Interest accrues from the date of each Equipment Loan at the rate in Section 1.2 and is payable monthly. Equipment Loans are payable in thirty six (36) equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, beginning on the last day of the first month following the making of the Equipment Loan.
