ARTICLE II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1 Revolving Advances. The Lender agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make advances to the Borrowers from time to time from the date all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 are satisfied (the “Funding Date”) to the Termination Date (the “Revolving Advances”). The Lender shall have no obligation to make a Revolving Advance to the extent the amount of the requested Revolving Advance exceeds Availability. The Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Revolving Advances shall be further evidenced by the Revolving Note and shall be secured by the Collateral. Within the limits set forth in this Section 2.1, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.16 and reborrow.

Section 2.2 Procedures for Requesting Advances. The Borrowers shall comply with the following procedures in requesting Revolving Advances:

(a) Type of Advances. Each Advance shall be funded as either a Floating Rate Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance, as the Administrative Borrower shall specify in the related notice of borrowing or notice of conversion pursuant to this Subsection (a) or Section 2.3(a), provided that during Default Periods, no LIBO Rate Advances shall be made. Floating Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances may be outstanding at the same time. Each request for a LIBO Rate Advance shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000.

(b) Time for Requests. The Administrative Borrower shall request each Advance not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time on the Banking Day which, in the case of a Floating Rate Advance, is the date the Advance is to be made, and in the case of a LIBO Rate Advance, is at least three (3) Banking Days before the date the Advance is to be made. Each such request shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, shall be in writing or by telephone or telecopy transmission, to be confirmed in writing by the Administrative Borrower if so requested by the Lender (in the form of Exhibit F), shall be by (i) an Officer of the Administrative Borrower; or (ii) a person designated as the Administrative Borrower’s agent by an Officer of the Administrative Borrower in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (iii) a person whom the Lender reasonably believes to be an Officer of the Administrative Borrower or such a designated agent, and shall specify whether the Advance shall be a Floating Rate Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance and in the case of a LIBO Rate Advance, shall specify the Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Borrowers shall repay all Advances even if the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the person requesting an Advance was not in fact authorized to do so. Any request for an Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.

(c) Disbursement. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance by crediting the

same to the Administrative Borrower’s demand deposit account maintained with Wells Fargo Bank unless the Lender and the Administrative Borrower shall agree in writing to another manner of disbursement.

Section 2.3 LIBO Rate Advances.

(a) Converting Floating Rate Advances to LIBO Rate Advances; Procedures. So long as no Default Period exists, the Administrative Borrower may convert all or any part of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance into a LIBO Rate Advance by giving notice to the Lender of such conversion not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time, on a Banking Day which is at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the date of the requested conversion. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, shall be in writing or by telephone or telecopy transmission, to be confirmed in writing by the Administrative Borrower if so requested by the Lender (in the form of Exhibit G), shall specify the date and amount of such conversion, the total amount of the Floating Rate Advance to be so converted and the applicable Interest Period. Each such conversion shall occur on a Banking Day, and the aggregate amount of Floating Rate Advances converted to LIBO Rate Advances shall equal $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000.

(b) Procedures at End of an Interest Period. Unless the Administrative Borrower requests a new LIBO Rate Advance in accordance with the procedures set forth below, or the Borrowers prepay the principal of an outstanding LIBO Rate Advance at the expiration of an Interest Period, the Lender shall automatically and without request of the Administrative Borrower convert each LIBO Rate Advance to a Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the relevant Interest Period. So long as no Default Period exists, the Administrative Borrower may cause all or any part of any outstanding LIBO Rate Advance to continue to bear interest at a LIBO Rate after the end of the then applicable Interest Period by notifying the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time, on a Banking Day which is at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the first day of the new Interest Period. Each such notice shall be in writing (in the form of Exhibit H) or by telephone or telecopy transmission, to be confirmed in writing by the Administrative Borrower if the Lender so requests, shall be effective when received by the Lender, and shall specify the first day of the applicable Interest Period, the amount of the expiring LIBO Rate Advance to be continued and the applicable Interest Period. Each new Interest Period shall begin on a Banking Day and the amount of each Advance bearing a new LIBO Rate shall be equal to $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000.

(c) Setting and Notice of Rates. The Lender shall determine applicable LIBO Rate for each Interest Period between the opening of business and 12:00 Noon, Los Angeles, California time, on the second Banking Day preceding the beginning of such Interest Period, and shall notify the Administrative Borrower thereof by telephone or in writing. Each such determination of the applicable LIBO Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Lender, upon written request of the Administrative Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Lender in determining the applicable LIBO Rate.

(d) Funding Losses. The Borrowers shall, upon demand by the Lender to the Administrative Borrower (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed), indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense which the Lender may have sustained or incurred (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances) or which the Lender may be deemed to have sustained or incurred, as reasonably determined by the Lender, due to (i) the Borrowers’ failure to make when due any payment in connection with any LIBO Rate Advances, (ii) the Administrative Borrower’s failure to borrow or convert any LIBO Rate Advances on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof or (iii) any payment or prepayment of any LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. For this purpose, all notices under Sections 2.2(a), 2.3(a) or 2.3(b) shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

(e) Right of Lender to Fund through Other Offices. The Lender may fulfill its agreements hereunder with respect to any LIBO Rate Advance by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of the Lender to make such LIBO Rate Advance; provided, that in such event the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such LIBO Rate Advance shall nevertheless be to the Lender and such LIBO Rate Advance shall be deemed held by the Lender for the account of such branch or affiliate.

(f) Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender may fund and maintain all or any part of its LIBO Rate Advances in any manner it deems fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement (specifically including Subsection (d)) all determinations hereunder shall be made as if the Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBO Rate Advance during each Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Advance through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the appropriate LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

Section 2.4 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Funding Exceptions.

(a) Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. If the Lender determines at any time that its Return has been reduced as a result of any Rule Change, such Lender may so notify the Administrative Borrower and require the Borrowers, beginning fifteen (15) days after such notice, to pay it the amount necessary to restore its Return to what it would have been had there been no Rule Change; provided, however, that if the Lender requires the Borrowers to pay it the amount necessary to restore its Return based on a Rule Change relating to a Capital Adequacy Rule, Borrowers shall have the election to (1) pay such amount, or (2) pay, perform, and satisfy all Obligations and terminate the Credit Facility as provided herein without paying the termination and prepayment fees otherwise due under Section 2.14(d). For purposes of this Section 2.4:

(i) “Capital Adequacy Rule” means any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive, requirement or request regarding capital adequacy, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority, central bank or comparable

agency, whether or not having the force of law, that applies to any Related Lender, including rules requiring financial institutions to maintain total capital in amounts based upon percentages of outstanding loans, binding loan commitments and letters of credit.

(ii) “Eurodollar Rule” means Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive, requirement or request regarding (A) taxes, duties or other charges, exemptions with respect to LIBO Rate Advances or the Lender’s obligation to make LIBO Rate Advances, and (B) reserves imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBO Rate), special deposits or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Related Lender, and any other condition affecting the Lender’s making, maintaining or funding of LIBO Rate Advances or its obligation to make LIBO Rate Advances, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority, central bank or comparable agency, whether or not having the force of law, that applies to any Related Lender.

(iii) “L/C Rule” means any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive, requirement or request regarding letters of credit, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority, central bank or comparable agency, whether or not having the force of law, that applies to any Related Lender, including those that impose taxes, duties or other similar charges, or mandate reserves, special deposits or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Related Lender, on letters of credit.

(iv) “Related Lender” includes (but is not limited to) the Lender, any parent of the Lender, any assignee of any interest of the Lender hereunder and any participant in the Credit Facility.

(v) “Return”, for any period, means the percentage determined by dividing (i) the sum of interest and ongoing fees earned by the Lender under this Agreement during such period, by (ii) the average capital such Lender is required to maintain during such period as a result of its being a party to this Agreement, as determined by such Lender based upon its total capital requirements and a reasonable attribution formula that takes account of the Capital Adequacy Rules, Eurodollar Rules and L/C Rules then in effect, costs of issuing or maintaining any Advance or Letter of Credit and amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or the Notes with respect to any Advance or Letter of Credit. Return may be calculated for each calendar quarter and for the shorter period between the end of a calendar quarter and the date of termination in whole of this Agreement.

(iv) “Rule Change” means any change in any Capital Adequacy Rule, Eurodollar Rule, or L/C Rule occurring after the date of this Agreement, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority, but the term does not include any changes that at the Funding Date are scheduled to take place under the existing Capital Adequacy Rules, Eurodollar Rules, or L/C Rules or any increases in the capital

that the Lender is required to maintain to the extent that the increases are required due to a regulatory authority’s assessment of that Lender’s financial condition.

The initial notice sent by the Lender shall be sent as promptly as practicable after such Lender learns that its Return has been reduced, shall include a demand for payment of the amount necessary to restore such Lender’s Return for the quarter in which the notice is sent, and shall state in reasonable detail the cause for the reduction in its Return and its calculation of the amount of such reduction. Thereafter, such Lender may send a new notice during each calendar quarter setting forth the calculation of the reduced Return for that quarter and including a demand for payment of the amount necessary to restore its Return for that quarter. The Lender’s calculation in any such notice shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error.

(b) Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If with respect to any Interest Period:

(i) the Lender in its commercially reasonable, good-faith judgment, determines that deposits in US dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the London interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Lender in its commercially reasonable, good-faith judgment, otherwise determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate; or

(iii) the Lender in its commercially reasonable, good-faith judgment, determines that the LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding any LIBO Rate Advance for such Interest Period, or that the funding of LIBO Rate Advances has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of the Lender materially affects such LIBO Rate Advances;

then the Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and (A) in the event of any occurrence described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Administrative Borrower shall enter into good faith negotiations with the Lender in order to determine an alternate method to determine the LIBO Rate, and during the pendency of such negotiations with the Lender, the Lender shall be under no obligation to make any new LIBO Rate Advances and (B) in the event of any occurrence described in the foregoing clause (iii), for so long as such circumstances shall continue, the Lender shall be under no obligation to make any new LIBO Rate Advances.

(c) Illegality. If any Rule Change should make it or, in the good faith judgment of the Lender, shall raise a substantial question as to whether it is unlawful for the Lender to make, create, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Advances, then (i) the Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower, (ii) the obligation of the Lender to make, maintain or convert into LIBO Rate Advances shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness, and (iii) for the duration of such unlawfulness, any notice

by an Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(a), 2.3Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b) requesting the Lender to make, continue making or convert into LIBO Rate Advances shall be construed as a request to make or to continue making Floating Rate Advances.

(b) No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date later than the Termination Date in effect as of the date of issuance.

Section 2.6 Special Account. If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason while any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers shall thereupon pay the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the L/C Amount. The Special Account shall be an interest bearing account maintained for the Lender by any financial institution acceptable to the Lender. Any interest earned on amounts deposited in the Special Account shall be credited to the Special Account. The Lender may apply amounts on deposit in the Special Account at any time or from time to time to the Obligations in the Lender’s sole discretion. The Borrowers may not withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Special Account as long as the Lender maintains a security interest therein. The Lender agrees to

transfer any balance in the Special Account to the Borrowers when the Lender is required to release its security interest in the Special Account under applicable law.

Section 2.7 Payment of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit; Obligation of Reimbursement.

Notwithstanding the Borrowers’ inability to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole discretion, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

(5) Each request for a CapEx Advance shall be accompanied with an invoice for the Equipment purchased and reasonably acceptable evidence that such Equipment was delivered to Borrowers’ Premises.

(c) Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Lender shall deposit the proceeds of the requested CapEx Advance by crediting the same to the Administrative Borrower’s demand deposit account specified in Section 2.2(c) unless the Lender and the Administrative Borrower shall agree in writing to another manner of disbursement. Upon the Lender’s request, the Administrative Borrower shall promptly confirm each telephonic request for a CapEx Advance by executing and delivering an appropriate confirmation certificate to the Lender. The Borrowers shall be obligated to repay all CapEx Advances notwithstanding the Lender’s failure to receive such confirmation and notwithstanding the fact that the person requesting the same was not in fact authorized to do so. Any request for a CapEx Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.

Section 2.11 Payment of Term Advance and CapEx Advances.

(a) Term Advance. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Advance shall be due and payable as follows:

(i) In equal monthly installments of Twenty Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Seven and 78/100 Dollars ($27,777.78), beginning on October 31, 2003, and on the last day of each month thereafter with a final installment due on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the remaining principle balance thereof.

(ii) In addition, the Lender may obtain annually, at the Borrowers’ expense, an appraisal, by an appraiser acceptable to Lender, of the Eligible Equipment, provided, however, that the Lender may obtain semi-annually, at its own expense, such an appraisal of the Eligible Equipment; provided further, that during any Default Period, the Lender may obtain such an appraisal of the Eligible Equipment at the Borrowers’ expense. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Advance exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the forced liquidation value of the Eligible Equipment as shown on any such appraisal, at Lenders option (A) the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Term Advance in the amount of such excess, or (B) the amount of all remaining scheduled principal payments with respect to the Term Advance shall be increased by an amount necessary to fully amortize such excess prior to the Maturity Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Advance, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall in any event be due and payable.

(b) CapEx Note. The outstanding principal balance of the CapEx Advances shall be due and payable as follows:

(i) Beginning on March 31, 2004, and on the last day of each month thereafter, in substantially equal monthly installments equal to an amount sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of the CapEx Advances made during the period beginning on the Funding Date and ending on March 18, 2004, over an assumed term of thirty six (36) months; and beginning on September 30, 2004, and on the last day of each month thereafter, in substantially equal monthly installments equal to an amount sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of the CapEx Advances made during the period beginning on March 19, 2004 and ending on the first anniversary of the Funding Date, over an assumed term of thirty six (36) months.

(ii) On the Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal balance of the CapEx Advances, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall in any event be due and payable.

Section 2.12 Inventory Appraisals. The Lender may from time to time obtain at its own expense an appraisal of Inventory by an appraiser acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that during any Default Period, the reasonable costs of such appraisals shall be at the Borrowers’ expense.

Section 2.13 Interest; Margin; Minimum Interest Charge; Default Interest; Participations; Clearance Days; Usury.

(a) Notes. Except as set forth in Subsections (d) and (g), the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest at the Floating Rate.

(b) Margins. The Margins through and including the first adjustment occurring as specified below shall be one (1.00) percentage point for Advances that are Floating Rate Advances and three and three-quarters of one (3.75) percentage points for Advances that are LIBO Rate Advances. Upon Lender’s timely receipt and satisfactory review of Borrowers’ financial statements and compliance certificates required to be delivered under Section 6.1(a) hereof for its fiscal year end June 30, 2004, the Margins shall be reduced (effective thirty (30) days after the receipt of such financial statements and compliance certificates) by (i) one-quarter of one (0.25) percentage point if Borrowers’ Net Income for such year equals or exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); and (ii) one-half of one (0.50) percentage point if Borrowers’ Net Income for such year equals or exceeds Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000); provided however, that no reduction in the Margins shall take place if at the time of such reduction, a Default exists or a Default Period is in effect; provided, further, that if any financial statements of Borrowers are at any time restated or corrected in such a way that a reduction in the Margins would not have been made as set forth above, the Margins and the interest payable under this Agreement shall immediately be re-calculated as if such reduction had never taken effect.

(c) Minimum Interest Charge. Notwithstanding the interest payable pursuant to Subsection (a), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per quarter (the “Minimum Interest Charge”) during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrowers shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest paid or assessed under Subsection (a) during the prior quarter on the first day of each quarter and on the Termination Date, provided, however, that if the Termination Date falls on a date that is not on a quarter end, the Minimum Interest Charge shall be prated from the most recent quarter end.

(d) Default Interest Rate. At any time during any Default Period, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, the Lender from time to time, the principal of the Advances outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Default Rate, effective for periods designated by the Lender from time to time during that Default Period.

(e) Clearance Days. Notwithstanding Section 2.16(b)(ii), interest at the interest rate applicable under this Section 2.13 shall accrue on the amount of all payments (even if in the form of immediately available federal funds) for one (1) day for clearance.

(f) Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Advances or the Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrowers shall be obligated to the Lender to pay the full amount of all interest calculated under this Section 2.13, along with all other fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement, regardless if such Person elects to accept interest with respect to its participation at a lower rate than that calculated under this Section 2.13, or otherwise elects to accept less than its prorata share of such fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement.

(g) Usury. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between the Borrowers and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrowers and the Lender. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of the Loan Documents and all agreements between the Borrowers and the Lender, or their successors and assigns.

Section 2.14 Fees.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Unused Line Fee. For the purposes of this Section 2.14, “Unused Amount” means the Maximum Line reduced by outstanding Revolving Advances. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender an unused line fee at the rate of one quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum on the average daily Unused Amount from the date of this Agreement to and including the Termination Date, due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date.

(c) Audit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender, on demand, audit fees in connection with any audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Lender of any Collateral or the Borrowers’ operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender as its audit fees (which fees are currently $90.00 per hour per auditor), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such audit or inspection provided, however, that except during Default Periods, the Borrowers shall not have to reimburse the Lender for such fees, costs and expenses to the extent that relate to more than one (1) such audit per quarter.

(d) Termination Fees. If the Credit Facility is terminated (i) by the Lender during a Default Period that begins before a Maturity Date, (ii) by the Borrowers (A) as of a date other than a Maturity Date or (B) as of a Maturity Date but without the Lender having received written notice of such termination at least forty-five (45) days before such Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Aggregate Credit Limit as follows: (A) three percent (3.0%) if the termination occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Funding Date; (B) two percent (2.0%) if the termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Funding Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Funding Date;

and (C) one percent (1.0%) if the termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Funding Date.

(e) Waiver of Termination Fees. The Borrowers will not be required to pay the termination and prepayment fees otherwise due under subsection (d) if such termination is made because of refinancing by Wells Fargo Bank or any of its affiliates.

(f) Other Fees. The Lender may from time to time, upon five (5) days prior notice to the Administrative Borrower during a Default Period, charge additional fees for Revolving Advances made and Letters of Credit issued in excess of Availability, for late delivery of reports, in lieu of imposing interest at the Default Rate, and for other reasons. The Administrative Borrower’s request for a Revolving Advance or the issuance of a Letter of Credit at any time after such notice is given and such five (5) day period has elapsed shall constitute the Borrowers’ agreement to pay the fees described in such notice.

Section 2.15 Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Banking Days; Computation of Interest and Fees

(a) Time For Interest Payments. Interest accruing on all Advances shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Termination Date.

(b) Payment on Non-Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.

(c) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

Section 2.16 Lockbox; Collateral Account; Application of Payments.

(a) Lockbox and Collateral Account.

(i) The Borrowers shall instruct all account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to the Lockbox. If, notwithstanding such instructions, any Borrower receives any payments on Accounts, such Borrower shall deposit such payments into the Collateral Account. The Borrowers shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral directly to the Collateral Account. Until so deposited, the Borrowers shall hold all such payments and cash proceeds in trust for and as the property of the Lender and shall not commingle such property with any of its other funds or property. All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations.

(ii) All items deposited in the Collateral Account shall be subject to final payment. If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrowers will immediately pay the Lender, or, for items deposited in the Collateral Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the applicable Borrower’s commercial account or other account. The Borrowers shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collateral Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by any Borrower.

(b) Application of Payments.

(i) The Borrowers may, from time to time, in accordance with the Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Obligations. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, amounts deposited in the Collateral Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the Borrowers, except after full payment and discharge of all Obligations.

(ii) All payments to the Lender shall be made in immediately available funds and shall be applied to the Obligations upon receipt by the Lender. Funds received from the Collateral Account shall be deemed to be immediately available. The Lender may hold all payments not constituting immediately available funds for three (3) additional days before applying them to the Obligations.

Section 2.17 Voluntary Prepayment; Termination of the Credit Facility by the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrowers may terminate the Credit Facility at any time if they (i) gives the Lender at least 30 days’ prior written notice and (ii) pay the termination fee in accordance with Section 2.14(d). Subject to termination of the Credit Facility and payment and performance of all Obligations, the Lender shall, at the Borrowers’ expense, release or terminate the Security Interest and the Security Documents to which the Borrowers are entitled by law.

Section 2.18 Mandatory Prepayment. Without notice or demand, if the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall (i) first, immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if prepayment in full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess, pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the remaining excess. Any payment received by the Lender under this Section 2.18 or under Section 2.17 may be applied to the Obligations, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender, in its discretion, may from time to time determine.

Section 2.19 Revolving Advances to Pay Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrowers’ request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be

satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations from time to time due and payable.

Section 2.20 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of Advances and each Letter of Credit to (i) repay, in full, the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and accrued fees and expenses owing to Existing Lender, (ii) pay all trade payable and other obligations of each Borrower which are more than sixty (60) days past the due date as of such time, (iv) eliminate the book overdraft of each Borrower, (iv) pay the transactions costs and fees associated with this Credit Facility; and (v) for ordinary working capital purposes.

Section 2.21 Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, records as to the Obligations. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrowers establish the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrowers will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Obligations that the Borrowers then assert to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrowers unless the Administrative Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.

SECURITY INTEREST; OCCUPANCY; SETOFF

Section 3.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender a lien and security interest (collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon request by the Lender, each Borrower will grant the Lender a security interest in all commercial tort claims it may have against any Person.

Section 3.2 Notification of Account Debtors and Other Obligors. If a Default Period exists, the Lender may at any time (whether or not a Default Period then exists) notify any account debtor or other Person obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. The applicable Borrower will join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time while such Default Period is ongoing, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender’s name or in any Borrower’s name, (a) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor; and (b) as each Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of the Borrowers’ mail to any address designated by the Lender, otherwise intercept the Borrowers’ mail, and receive, open and dispose of the Borrowers’ mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for the Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to the Borrower’s last known address.

Section 3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of such Borrower with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and each Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies resulting from casualty to the Collateral directly to the Lender to the extent of the outstanding Advances. At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in any Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

Section 3.4 Occupancy.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of any leases or other occupancy agreements relating to the Premises, the Lender may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store, liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes that the Lender may in good faith deem to be related or incidental purposes.

(c) The Lender’s right to hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) payment in full and discharge of all Obligations and termination of the Credit Facility, and (ii) final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such goods to purchasers.

(d) The Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided, however, that if the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lender promptly for the full amount thereof. In addition, the Borrowers will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5 License. Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document, each Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights of such Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality

standards previously adopted by such Borrower for its own manufacturing and subject to such Borrower’s reasonable exercise of quality control; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period.

Section 3.6 Financing Statement. Each Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from time to time where permitted by law, such financing statements against collateral described as “all personal property” as the Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest.

The Lender may at any time or from time to time, at its sole discretion and without demand and without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to any Borrower by the Lender, whether or not due, against any Obligation, whether or not due. In addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Obligations shall have the right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to any Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the payment of said participating interest, as fully as if such Person had lent directly to such Borrower the amount of such participating interest.

Section 3.8 Collateral. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrowers are entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically keeping such Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person, and the Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application. The Lender has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(a) The Borrowers will keep and maintain the Collateral and all of their other properties necessary or useful in its business in good condition, repair and working order (normal wear and tear excepted) and will from time to time replace or repair any worn, defective or broken parts; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.14 shall prevent any Borrower from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the Borrowers’ judgment, desirable in the conduct of the Borrowers’ business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lender. The Borrowers will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to protect and maintain their Intellectual Property Rights.

The Borrowers will not transfer any part of their ownership interest in any Intellectual Property Rights and will not permit any agreement under which it has licensed Licensed Intellectual Property to lapse, except that the Borrowers may transfer such rights or permit such agreements to lapse if it shall have reasonably determined that the applicable Intellectual Property Rights are no longer useful in its business. If the Borrowers transfer any Intellectual Property Rights for value, the Borrowers will pay over the proceeds to the Lender for application to the Obligations.

gives such Borrower written notice thereof (or in the case of the agreements contained in Section 6.13 and Section 6.15, immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, without notice or lapse of time), the Lender may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of such Borrower (or, at the Lender’s option, in the Lender’s name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which the Lender may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and the Borrowers shall thereupon pay to the Lender on demand the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lender in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by the Lender, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE VIII

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; SURETYSHIP WAIVERS

Section 8.1 Independent Obligations; Subrogation. The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder are joint and several. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any claim, right or remedy which such Borrower now has or hereafter

acquires against any other Borrower that arises hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral which the Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged. In addition, each Borrower hereby waives any right to proceed against the other Borrowers, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which any Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged. Each Borrower also hereby waives any rights of recourse to or with respect to any asset of the other Borrowers until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged.

Section 8.2 Authority to Modify Obligations and Security. Each Borrower authorizes the Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting any Borrowers’ liability hereunder, from time to time, whether before or after any notice of termination hereof or before or after any default in respect of the Obligations, to: (a) renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change any other term or condition of, any document or agreement evidencing or relating to any Obligations as such Obligations relate to the other Borrowers, including, without limitation, to increase or decrease the rate of interest thereon; (b) accept, substitute, waive, defease, increase, release, exchange or otherwise alter any Collateral, in whole or in part, securing the other Borrowers’ Obligations; (c) apply any and all such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; (d) deal with the other Borrowers as the Lender may elect; (e) in the Lender’s sole discretion, settle, release on terms satisfactory to them, or by operation of law or otherwise, compound, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any of the other Borrowers’ Obligations and/or any of the Collateral in any manner, and bid and purchase any of the collateral at any sale thereof; (vi) apply any and all payments or recoveries from the other Borrowers as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness relates to the Obligations; all whether such Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others; and (vii) apply any sums realized from Collateral furnished by the other Borrowers upon any of its indebtedness or obligations to the Lender as it in its sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness relates to the Obligations; all without in any way diminishing, releasing or discharging the liability of any Borrower hereunder.

Section 8.3 Waiver of Defenses. Upon an Event of Default by any Borrower in respect of any Obligations, the Lender may, at its option and without notice to any Borrower, proceed directly against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder, or any portion thereof, and each Borrower waives any right to require the Lender to: (a) proceed against the other Borrowers or any other person whomsoever; (b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral given to or held by the Lender in connection with the Obligations; (c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any of the Collateral except as otherwise provided herein; or (d) pursue any other remedy in the Lender’s power whatsoever. A

separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower whether or not action is brought against the other Borrowers and whether the other Borrowers be joined in any such action or actions; and each Borrower waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, and agrees that any payment of any Obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the liability hereunder.

Section 8.4 Exercise of the Lender’s Rights. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers the Lender in its sole discretion, without any notice or demand to such Borrower whatsoever and without affecting the liability of such Borrower hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which the Lender may have available to itself against the other Borrowers.

Section 8.5 Additional Waivers. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the other Borrowers or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrowers or by reason of any act or omission of the Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of the other Borrowers or any Obligations or any Collateral by operation of law or otherwise. The Obligations shall be enforceable against each Borrower without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Obligations with respect to any of the other Borrowers or any of the documents related thereto or any collateral security documents securing any of the Obligations. No exercise by the Lender of, and no omission of the Lender to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of the Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral shall in any way suspend, discharge, release, exonerate or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any Collateral furnished by the Borrowers or give to the Borrowers any right of recourse against the Lender. Each Borrower specifically agrees that the failure of the Lender: (a) to perfect any lien on or security interest in any property heretofore or hereafter given any Borrower to secure payment of the Obligations, or to record or file any document relating thereto or (b) to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding) of any Borrower shall not in any manner whatsoever terminate, diminish, exonerate or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower hereunder.

Section 8.6 Additional Indebtedness . Additional Obligations may be created from time to time at the request of any Borrower and without further authorization from or notice to any other Borrower even though the borrowing Borrower’s financial condition may deteriorate since the date hereof. Each Borrower waives the right, if any, to require the Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information it may now have or hereafter acquire concerning the other Borrowers’ character, credit, Collateral, financial condition or other matters. Each Borrower has established adequate means to obtain from the other Borrowers, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to such Borrower’s business and affairs, and assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial and other conditions of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations which diligent inquiry would reveal. The Lender need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the authority of any of their respective officers, directors, partners or agents acting

or purporting to act in their behalf, and any Obligations created in reliance upon the purported exercise of such power or authority is hereby guaranteed. All Obligations of each Borrower to the Lender heretofore, now or hereafter created shall be deemed to have been granted at each Borrower’s special insistence and request and in consideration of and in reliance upon this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Notices, Demands, Etc. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, the Lender shall not be under any obligation whatsoever to make or give to any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives diligence, all rights of setoff and counterclaim against the Lender, all demands, presentments, protests, notices of protests, notices of protests, notices of nonperformance, notices of dishonor, and all other notices of every kind or nature, including notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Obligations.

Section 8.8 Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.8, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter owing to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Obligations, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created, and whether before or after notice of termination hereof, and, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Borrower shall, without the prior consent of the Lender, pay in whole or in part any of such indebtedness nor will any such Borrower accept any payment of or on account of any such indebtedness at any time while such Borrower remains liable hereunder. At the request of the Lender, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall pay to the Lender all or any part of such subordinated indebtedness and any amount so paid to the Lender at its request shall be applied to payment of the Obligations. Each payment on the indebtedness of any Borrower to the other Borrowers received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by any other Borrower as trustee for the Lender and shall be paid over to the Lender immediately on account of the Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner any such Borrower’s liability under any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to file all claims against the other Borrowers in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any indebtedness of the other Borrowers to such Borrower, and the Lender shall be entitled to all of any such Borrower’s rights thereunder. If for any reason any such Borrower fails to file such claim at least thirty (30) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, the Lender, as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, is hereby authorized to do so in Borrowers’ name or, in the Lender’s discretion, to assign such claim to, and cause a proof of claim to be filed in the name of, the Lender’s nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Lender the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and to the full extent necessary for that purpose any such Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender all such Borrower’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Borrower otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than any such Borrower’s liability hereunder, the Lender will pay the excess amount to the person entitled thereto.

Section 8.9 Revival. If any payments of money or transfers of property made to the Lender by any Borrower should for any reason subsequently be declared to be, or in the

Lender’s counsel’s good faith opinion be determined to be, fraudulent (within the meaning of any state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances), preferential or otherwise voidable or recoverable in whole or in part for any reason (hereinafter collectively called “voidable transfers”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law and the Lender is required to repay or restore, or in the Lender’s counsel’s good faith opinion may be so liable to repay or restore, any such voidable transfer, or the amount or any portion thereof, then as to any such voidable transfer or the amount repaid or restored and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Lender related thereto, such Borrower’s liability hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though such voidable transfer had never been made to the Lender.

Section 8.10 Understanding of Waivers. Each Borrower warrants and agrees that the waivers set forth in this Article 8 are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Compliance with Laws. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents.

The Borrowers request that the Lender respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come from an authorized individual and releases the Lender from any liability for so responding. The Borrowers shall pay Lender the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such requests.

Section 9.6 Costs and Expenses. Except for such costs, expenses, claims and related losses resulting from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct by the Lender or its employees, agents and assigns, the Borrowers shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Obligations and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.

(iii) any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrowers, or counsel designated by the Borrowers and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrowers’ sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrowers’ obligation under this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of any Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

Section 9.8 Participants. The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender’s participants, successors or assigns.

Section 9.9 Execution in Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement and other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart

of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Retention of Borrower’s Records. The Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings, or other papers delivered to the Lender by any Borrower or in connection with the Loan Documents for more than four (4) months after receipt by the Lender.

Section 9.11 Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Exchanging Information. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Borrower waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which such Borrower could assert against the Lender. This Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower. This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the Lender’s right to share information regarding the Borrowers and their Affiliates with the Lender’s participants, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender, Wells Fargo & Company, and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of Wells Fargo & Company, may exchange any and all information they may have in their possession regarding the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and the Borrowers each waive any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to such exchange of such information.

Section 9.12 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

Section 9.13 Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 9.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of California. The parties hereto hereby (i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of California in connection with any controversy related to this Agreement; (ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient, (iii) agree that any litigation initiated by the Lender or any Borrower in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be venued in either the State or Federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California; and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 9.15 SI as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints SI as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Lender shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide the Lender with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Lender shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) Lender’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the Lender or any of its Affiliates under this Section 9.15 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Affiliate.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Environmental Matters

Since the early 1990s, we continue to be involved in certain remediation and investigative studies regarding soil and groundwater contamination at the site of a former printed circuit board manufacturing plant in Anaheim, California. One of our former subsidiaries, Aeroscientific Corp., leased the Anaheim facility. Under the terms of a cost sharing agreement entered into several years ago, the remaining remediation costs are currently being shared on a 50-50 basis with the landlord. There is no environmental insurance coverage for this remediation. At June 30, 2003, we had a reserve of $422,000 for future remediation costs. Management, based in part on consultations with outside environmental engineers and scientists, believes that this reserve is adequate to cover its share of future remediation costs at this site. However, the future actual remediation costs could differ significantly from the estimates. Further, our portion could potentially exceed the amount of our reserve. Our liability for remediation in excess of our reserve could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
