Buyer shall deduct the accrued Finance Charges from the Reserve as set forth in
Section 3.5 below.
3.3. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. On each Reconciliation Date Seller shall pay to
Buyer an Administrative Fee equal to .25 (%) percent of the face amount of each
Purchased Receivable first purchased during that Reconciliation Period (the

Administrative Fee equal to .75 (%) percent of the face amount of each Purchased
Receivable first purchased during that Reconciliation Period. Buyer shall deduct
the Administrative Fee from the Reserve as set forth in Section 3.5 below.
3.4. ACCOUNTING. Buyer shall prepare and send to Seller after the close of
business for each Reconciliation Period, an accounting of the transactions for
that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Purchased Receivables,
all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, and the Administrative Fee. The
accounting shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless Seller makes written
objection to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the Buyer mails the accounting
to Seller.
3.5. REFUND TO SELLER. Provided that there does not then exist an Event of
Default or any event or condition that with notice, lapse of time or otherwise

Buyer for that Reconciliation Period (the "Refund"). The Refund shall be an
amount equal to:
(A) (1) The Reserve as of the beginning of that Reconciliation

(6) all amounts due, including professional fees and expenses, as
set forth in Section 12 for which oral or written demand has been made by Buyer
to Seller during that Reconciliation Period to the extent Buyer has agreed to
accept payment thereof by deduction from the Refund.
In the event the formula set forth in this Section 3.5 results in an amount due
to Buyer from Seller, Seller shall make such payment in the same manner as set
forth in Section 4.3 hereof for repurchases. If the formula set forth in this
Section 3.5 results in an amount due to Seller from Buyer, Buyer shall make such
payment by check, subject to Buyer's rights under Section 4.3 and Buyer's rights
of offset and recoupment.
4. RECOURSE AND REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS.
4.1. RECOURSE. Buyer's acquisition of Purchased Receivables from Seller

the amount of Purchased Receivables and Collateral, Seller shall be liable for
any deficiency.
4.2. SELLER'S AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE. If Buyers demands, Seller will

time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, the excess shall be

INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

is ever deemed to be subject to Texas law, the transaction governed by this
Agreement is an "account purchase transaction" as defined in Article 5069-1.14
of Vernon's Annotated Texas Statutes and the discount provided in Section 2.2
and all fees and charges under the terms of this Agreement are not and shall not
be deeemed to be compensation contracted for, charged or received by Buyer for
the use, forbearance or detention of money.
14. ACCOUNT COLLECTION SERVICES. Certain Account Debtors may require or prefer
that all of Seller's receivables be paid to the same address and/or party, or
Seller and Buyer may agree that all receivables with respect to certain Account
Debtors be paid to one party. In such event Buyer and Seller may agree that
Buyer shall collect all receivables whether owned by Seller or Buyer and
(provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default or event that with
notice, lapse or time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, and
subject to Buyer's rights in the Collateral) Buyer agrees to remit to Seller the
amount of the receivables collections it receives with respect to receivables
other than Purchased Receivables. It is understood and agreed by Seller that
this Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Buyer to do any act other
than to turn over such amounts. All such receivables and collections are
Collateral and in the event of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer shall have no
duty to remit collections of Collateral and may apply such collections to the
obligations hereunder and Buyer shall have the rights of a secured party under
the California Uniform Commercial Code.

documents between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon
Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and (b) a

outstanding agreements between Seller and Buyer or any other division or
affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank.
