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

14. Account Collection Services. Certain Account Debtors may require or

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

from the date hereof, and from year to year thereafter unless terminated in
writing by Buyer or Seller. Seller and Buyer shall each have the right to

Collateral and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and this
Agreement shall continue to be effective, and Buyer's rights and remedies
hereunder shall survive such termination, until all transactions entered into

acknowledges that (a) any collateral under other outstanding security
agreements or other documents between Seller and Buyer or any other division or
affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this
