LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(EQUIPMENT)
The Borrower and Lender identified on the cover page of this
document have entered or anticipate entering into one or more transactions
pursuant to which Lender agrees to make available to Borrower an equipment
loan facility governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this document
and one or more Supplements executed by Borrower and Lender which incorporate
this document by reference. Each Supplement constitutes a supplement to and
forms part of this document, and will be read and construed as one with this
document, so that this document and the Supplement constitute a single
agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement").
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 - INTERPRETATION
1.1 DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Article 10 and in the Supplement
will have the meanings therein specified for purposes of this Agreement.
1.2 INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any Supplement and this document, the provisions of the
Supplement will be controlling for the purpose of all relevant transactions.
ARTICLE 2 - THE COMMITMENT AND LOANS
2.1 THE COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Lender agrees to make term loans to Borrower from time to time
from the Closing Date and to, but not including, the Termination Date in an
aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Commitment. The Commitment is
not a revolving credit commitment, and Borrower does not have the right to
repay and reborrow hereunder. Each Loan requested by Borrower to be made on a
single Business Day shall be for a minimum principal amount set forth in the
Supplement except to the extent the remaining commitment is a lesser amount.
2.2 NOTES EVIDENCING LOANS; REPAYMENT. Each Loan shall be evidenced by a
separate Note payable to the order of Lender, in the total principal amount
of the Loan. Principal and interest of each Loan shall be payable at the
times and in the manner set forth in the Note.
2.3 PROCEDURES FOR BORROWING.
(a) Borrower shall give Lender, at least five (5) Business Days' prior
to a proposed Borrowing Date, written notice of any request for borrowing
hereunder (a "Borrowing Request"). Each Borrowing Request shall be in
substantially the form of EXHIBIT "B" hereto, shall be executed by the chief
financial officer or accounting officer of Borrower, and shall state how much
is requested, and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation
as Lender may deem reasonably necessary to determine whether the proposed
borrowing will comply with the limitations in the Supplement.
(b) No later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on the Borrowing Date,
if Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent in Article 4, Lender shall
make the Loan available to Borrower in immediately available funds.
2.4 INTEREST. Basic Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the
each Loan shall accrue daily at the Designated Rate from the Borrowing Date
until the Maturity Date.
2.5 TERMINAL PAYMENT. Borrower shall pay the Terminal Payment with
respect to each Loan on the Maturity Date of such Loan.
2.6 INTEREST RATE CALCULATION. Basic Interest, along with charges and
fees under this Agreement and any Loan Document, shall be calculated for
actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher
interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no
event shall Borrower be obligated to pay Lender interest, charges or fees at
a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to
time in effect.
2.7 DEFAULT INTEREST. Any unpaid payments of principal or interest or
the Terminal Payment with respect to any Loan shall bear interest from their
respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at the Designated
Rate for such Loan PLUS
1
<PAGE>
five percent (5.00%) per annum, until paid in full, whether before or after
judgment (the "Default Rate"). Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.
2.8 LATE CHARGES. If Borrower is late in making any payment of
principal or interest or Terminal Payment under this Agreement by more five
(5) days, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of the
installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such
delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose
of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent
amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable
sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this
Agreement and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that
will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely
payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be
costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to
the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to
declare a default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.
2.9 LENDER'S RECORDS. Principal, Basic Interest, Terminal Payments
and all other sums owed under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by entries
in records maintained by Lender for such purpose. Each payment on and any
other credits with respect to principal, Basic Interest, Terminal Payments
and all other sums outstanding under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by
entries in such records. Absent manifest error, Lender's records shall be
conclusive evidence thereof.
2.10 GRANT OF SECURITY INTERESTS. To secure the timely payment and
performance of all of Borrower's Obligations to Lender, Borrower hereby
grants to Lender continuing security interests in all of the Collateral an
such other Lien documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender,
subject only to Permitted Liens.

covenant is not cured within 30 days after the sooner to occur of Borrower's
receipt of notice of such breach from Lender or the date on which such breach
first becomes known to any officer of Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that if
such breach is not capable of being cured within such 30-day period and
Borrower timely notifies Lender of such fact and Borrower diligently pursues
such cure, then the cure period shall be extended to the date requested in
Borrower's notice but in no event more than 90 days from the initial breach;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that such additional 60-day opportunity to cure shall not
apply in the case of any failure to perform or observe any covenant which has
been the subject of a prior failure within the preceding 180 days or which is
a willful and knowing breach by Borrower.
7.2 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to, at its
option, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to a Lender
under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law, and exercise
any or all of its rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and in
any other Loan Document. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time any payment of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by Lender upon, on account of, or in connection with, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.
7.3 SALE OF COLLATERAL. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may sell all or any part of the

investor, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or
prices as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent permitted by
law, Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any
rights of stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any applicable law
in effect from time to time. Any such public or private sales shall be held
at such times and at such place(s) as Lender may determine. In case of the
sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery,
the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is
paid by the purchaser, but Lender shall not incur any liability in case of
the failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral and, in case of any
such failure, such Collateral may be resold. Lender may, instead of
exercising its power of sale, proceed to enforce its security interest in the
Collateral by seeking a judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
7.4 BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS UPON DEFAULT. Upon the request of Lender
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will:
8
<PAGE>
(a) Assemble and make available to Lender the Collateral at such
place(s) as Lender shall designate, segregating all Collateral so that each
item is capable of identification; and
(b) Subject to the rights of any previous lessor, permit Lender, by
Lender's officers, employees, agents and representatives, to enter any
premises where any Collateral is located, to take possession of the
Collateral and to remove the Collateral, or to conduct any public or private
sale of the Collateral, all without any liability of Lender for rent or other
compensation for the use of Borrower's premises.
ARTICLE 8 - SPECIAL COLLATERAL PROVISIONS
8.1 PERFORMANCE OF BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. Without having any
obligation to do so, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, Lender may
perform or pay any obligation which Borrower has agreed to perform or pay
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment or discharge
of taxes or Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral.
In so performing or paying, Lender shall determine the action to be taken and
the amount necessary to discharge such obligations. Borrower shall reimburse
Lender on demand for any amounts paid by Lender pursuant to this Section,
which amounts shall constitute Indebtedness secured by the Collateral and
shall bear interest from the date of demand at the rate applicable to overdue
payments under this Loan Agreement.
8.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. For the purpose of protecting, preserving and
enforcing the Collateral and Lender's rights under this Agreement, Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, with full power of substitution, as its
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to do any act which Borrower
is obligated to do or Lender has the right to do, hereunder; to exercise such
rights with respect to the Collateral as Borrower might exercise; to use such
Equipment, Fixtures or other property as Borrower might use; to enter
Borrower's premises; to give notice of Lender's security interest in, and to
collect the Collateral and the proceeds; and to execute and file in
Borrower's name any financing statements, amendments and continuation
statements necessary or desirable to perfect or continue the perfection of
Lender's security interests in the Collateral. Borrower hereby ratifies all
that Lender shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this
appointment.
8.3 AUTHORIZATION FOR LENDER TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTION. The power of
attorney created in Section 8.2 is a power coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to
protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
Lender to exercise such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts
that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and in
no event shall Lender or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or
representatives be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act,
except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise this power
of attorney without notice to or assent of Borrower, in the name of Borrower,
or in Lender's own name, from time to time in Lender's sole discretion and at
Borrower's expense. To further carry out the terms of this Agreement, Lender
may upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of
lading, storage or warehouse receipts; drafts, certificates and statements
under any commercial or standby letter of credit relating to Collateral; or
any other documents relating to the Collateral, including without limitation
the Records.
(b) Use or operate Collateral or any other property of Borrower for
the purpose of preserving or liquidating Collateral.
(c) File any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any
court of law or equity or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the
purpose of collecting any and all monies due or securing any performance to
be rendered with respect to the Collateral.
(d) Commence, prosecute or defend any suits, actions or proceedings
or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of protecting or
collecting the Collateral. In furtherance of this right, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply for the
appointment of a receiver or similar official to operate Borrower's business.
9
<PAGE>
(e) Prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under
insurance claims, and collect and receive payment of and endorse any
instrument in payment of loss or returned premiums or any other insurance
refund or return, and apply such amounts at Lender's sole discretion, toward
repayment of the Indebtedness or replacement of the Collateral.
8.4 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any Proceeds and other monies or
property received by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
Loan Document may be applied by Lender first to the payment of expenses of
collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, and then
to the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Lender may
elect.
8.5 DEFICIENCY. If the Proceeds of any sale of the Collateral are
insufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such sale and the payment in
full of all the Indebtedness, plus all other sums required to be expended or
distributed by Lender, then Borrower shall be liable for any such deficiency.
8.6 LENDER TRANSFER. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Lender may transfer all or any part of its interest in the
Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and
responsibility with respect to such interest in the Collateral so
transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and
powers of Lender hereunder with respect to such interest in the Collateral so
transferred.
8.7 LENDER'S DUTIES.
(a) Lender shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of any Collateral in its possession. Without limitation on other conduct
which may be considered the exercise of reasonable care, Lender shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
such Collateral if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which Lender accords its own property; or taking any necessary steps
to preserve any rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
Under no circumstances shall Lender be responsible for any injury or loss to
the Collateral, or any part thereof, arising from any cause beyond the
reasonable control of Lender.
(b) Neither Lender, nor any of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing Lender
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 Lender, or any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or
representing Lender.
8.8 TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. Upon the payment in full of
the Obligations and if Lender has no further obligations under its
Commitment, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination,
the Lender shall, at Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such
documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
ARTICLE 9 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1 NOTICES. Any notice given by any party under any Loan Document
shall be in writing and personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or
United States mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, to be promptly
confirmed in writing, or other authenticated message, charges prepaid, to the
other party's or parties' addresses shown on the Supplement. Each party may
change the address or facsimile number to which notices, requests and other
communications are to be sent by giving written notice of such change to each
other party. Notice given by hand delivery shall be deemed received on the
date delivered; if sent by overnight courier, on the next business day after
delivery to the courier service; if by first class mail, on the third
business day after deposit in the U.S. Mail; and if by telecopy, on the date
of transmission.
9.2 BINDING EFFECT. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors
and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer
Borrower's rights or obligations under any Loan Document without Lender's
prior written consent except in connection with a consolidation, merger or
other transaction in compliance with Section 6.4 of this Agreement. Lender
reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant
participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with any of the
foregoing, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now
or
10
<PAGE>
hereafter may have relating to the Loans, Borrower, or its business; provided
that any person who receives such information shall have agreed in writing in
advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms
reasonably acceptable to Borrower.
9.3 NO WAIVER. Any waiver, consent or approval by Lender of any
Event of Default or breach of any provision, condition, or covenant of any
Loan Document must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
set forth in writing. No waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a
waiver of any later breach or default of the same or any other provision of
any Loan Document. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising
any power, right, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right,
or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power, right or privilege. Lender has the right at its sole option
to continue to accept interest and/or principal payments due under the Loan
Documents after default, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of
said default or an extension of the Maturity Date unless Lender agrees
otherwise in writing.
9.4 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies existing under the
Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or
remedies available under contract or applicable law.
9.5 UNENFORCEABLE PROVISIONS. Any provision of any Loan Document
executed by Borrower which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, shall be so only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of
any such Loan Document shall remain valid and enforceable.
9.6 ACCOUNTING TERMS. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
accounting terms and financial covenants and information shall be determined
and prepared in accordance with GAAP.
9.7 INDEMNIFICATION; EXCULPATION. Borrower shall pay and protect,
defend and indemnify Lender and Lender's employees, officers, directors,
shareholders, affiliates, correspondents, agents and representatives (other
than Lender, collectively "Agents") against, and hold Lender and each such
Agent harmless from, all claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages,
losses, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs)
and other amounts incurred by Lender and each such Agent, arising from (i)
the matters contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
(ii) financing statement or record outstanding at the time of this Agreement,
or (iii) any contention that Borrower has failed to comply with any law,
rule, regulation, order or directive applicable to Borrower's business;
provided, however, that this indemnification shall not apply to any of the
foregoing incurred solely as the result of Lender's or any Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnification shall survive the
payment and satisfaction of all of Borrower's Obligations to Lender.
9.8 REIMBURSEMENT. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all costs and
expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements expended or incurred by Lender in any arbitration, mediation,
judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection with (a) the
preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, (b) the amendment,

judgment. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be payable upon
demand by Lender, and if not paid within forty-five (45) days of presentation
of invoices shall bear interest at the highest applicable Default Rate.

one agreement.

THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS
SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEMS, IN
