W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Congress Financial Corporation (Western), now known as Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western), and
Borrowers previously have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated March 7, 2001, as amended by that certain First
Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Other Financing Agreements dated as of August 23, 2002, Second Amendment to Loan and
Security Agreement and Other Financing Agreements dated as of October 31, 2002, Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated
as of March, 2003, Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 14, 2004, Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of May 31, 2004, and Sixth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 10, 2005 (as amended, the
"Original Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which Congress Financial Corporation (Western), now known as Wachovia Capital Finance
Corporation (Western), has provided certain loans and other financial accommodations to Borrowers; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate in their entirety the agreements contained in the Original Loan
Agreement as amongst themselves; and
WHEREAS, as affiliated companies under the common ownership of PC Mall, the financial success of each Borrower is largely
dependant on the financial success of the other Borrowers. Although certain of the Borrowers operate separate and distinct core
businesses in designated geographical areas, administrative and other service functions are performed for all of the Borrowers under
the auspices of AF Services and all of the Borrowers are providing technology-related goods and services for the ultimate benefit of
PC Mall and its shareholders. It would be extremely impractical and unfeasible for each Borrower to report separately its Eligible
Accounts and Eligible Inventory and to receive separately the proceeds of advances based upon such Borrower's Eligible Accounts and
Eligible Inventory alone. Borrowers have therefore requested that Agent and Lenders make funds available to all Borrowers based upon
all of their Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory. All advances and credit accommodations will thereby benefit all of the
Borrowers by providing an available source of credit for all of the Borrowers, as needed, to fund their working capital needs; and
WHEREAS, each Lender is willing to agree (severally and not jointly) to make such loans and provide such financial
accommodations to Borrowers on a pro rata basis according to its Commitment (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth
herein and Agent is willing to act as administrative and collateral agent for Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth herein
and in the other Financing Agreements (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, each Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Original
Loan Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, and the other Financing Agreements effective as of the date hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans to Borrowers from time to time in amounts requested by Borrowers up to the
amount equal to the sum of:
(i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Amount of Eligible Accounts, provided, that, such percentage advance rate shall be
reduced by one percent (1%) for each percentage point by which the dilution rate on the Accounts, as determined by Lender in good
faith based on the ratio of (A)the aggregate amount of reductions in Accounts other than as a result of payments in cash, to (B)the
aggregate amount of total sales, exceeds five percent (5%), and provided further, that, the total sum available under this Section
2.1(a)(i) based upon Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables shall not exceed Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($7,500,000) at any time; plus

Borrowers' payables and accrued payables to Apple Computer (with such supporting documentation as Agent may reasonably request and
separately identifying the payables owing for Inventory in transit from Apple Computer to Borrowers), which certificates shall be in
form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, in which case, for a period of five (5) Business Days after Lender's receipt and satisfactory
review of such certificates, the total sum available hereunder based upon such in-transit Eligible Inventory shall not exceed Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000); or
(B) Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), provided, that, such amount shall be reduced to (1) Thirty Million Dollars

Agent) that such turn of Borrowers' Inventory was not slower than a specified number of days during the six (6) months ending on the
last day of the immediately preceding month, then such amount shall be reduced to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), minus
(iii) the then undrawn amounts of outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations, multiplied by the applicable percentages as
provided for in Section 2.2(c)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(ii) hereof; minus
(iv) any Availability Reserves.
(b) Agent may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to
Borrowers reduce the lending formula(s) with respect to Eligible Inventory to the extent that Agent determines that:
(i) the number of days of the turnover, or the mix, of such Inventory for any period has changed in any materially adverse
respect; or
(ii) the nature and quality of the Inventory has deteriorated in any material respect. In determining whether to reduce the
lending formula(s), Agent may consider events, conditions, contingencies or risks which are also considered in determining Eligible
Accounts, Eligible Inventory or in establishing Availability Reserves.
(c) Except in Agent's discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the aggregate amount of the Loans, the Letter of Credit
Accommodations and other Obligations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. In the event that the outstanding
amount of any component of the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans and Letter
of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations, exceeds the amounts available under the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1(a)
hereof, the sublimits for Letter of Credit Accommodations set forth in Section 2.2(d) or the Maximum Credit, as applicable, such
event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent or any Lender in that circumstance or on any future occasions
and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be made at any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Agent, for the
ratable benefit of Lenders, the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded.
(d) For purposes only of applying the sublimit on Revolving Loans based on Eligible Inventory pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(B)
Agent may treat the then undrawn amounts of outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations for the purpose of purchasing Eligible
Inventory as Revolving Loans to the extent Agent is in effect basing the issuance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations on the Value
of the Eligible Inventory being purchased with such Letter of Credit Accommodations. In determining the actual amounts of such
Letter of Credit Accommodations to be so treated for purposes of the sublimit, the outstanding Revolving Loans and Availability
Reserves shall be attributed first to any components of the lending formulas in Section2.1(a) that are not subject to such sublimit,
before being attributed to the components of the lending formulas subject to such sublimit.
2.2 Letter of Credit Accommodations.
(a) Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, at the request of Borrowers, Agent agrees, for the ratable
risk of each Revolving Loan Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, to provide or arrange for Letter of Credit Accommodations for the
account of Borrowers containing terms and conditions acceptable to Agent and the issuer thereof. Any payments made by Agent or any
Lender to any issuer thereof and/or related parties in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations shall constitute
additional Revolving Loans to Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.
(b) In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by any bank or issuer in connection with the Letter of Credit
Accommodations, Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Revolving Loan Lenders, a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to one
and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations for the immediately
preceding month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month; provided, however, that so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such letter of credit fee shall not be charged on any Letter of Credit
Accommodations up to an aggregate outstanding sum of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) that are issued in favor of any financial
institution providing floor plan financing to Borrowers, and provided, further, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, such letter of credit fee on any Letter of Credit Accommodations issued in favor of any such floor planning financial
institutions that exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in the aggregate outstanding shall be at a rate equal to one percent
(1.0%) per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such letter of credit fee shall be increased, at Agent's option without notice, to
three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and for the
period on or after the date of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the
basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive
the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
(c) No Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be available unless on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter of Credit
Accommodations, the Revolving Loans available to Borrowers (subject to the Maximum Credit and any Availability Reserves) are equal to
or greater than:
(i) if the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Inventory, the sum of:
(A) the product of the Value or Appraised Liquidation Value of such Eligible Inventory multiplied by one minus the Inventory
Advance Rate under Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A) as applicable, plus
(B) freight, taxes, duty and other amounts which Lender estimates must be paid in connection with such Inventory upon arrival
and for delivery to one of Borrowers' locations for Eligible Inventory within the United States of America; and
(ii) if the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is for standby letters of credit guaranteeing the purchase of Eligible
Inventory or for any other purpose, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the face amount thereof and all other
commitments and obligations made or incurred by Lender with respect thereto.
Effective on the issuance of each Letter of Credit Accommodation, the amount of Revolving Loans which might otherwise be available to
Borrowers shall be reduced by the applicable amount set forth in this Section 2.2(c).
(d) An Availability Reserve shall be established in the amount set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i) upon the placement of the order
for the purchase of the subject Inventory. Effective upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit Accommodation for a purpose other
than the purchase of Inventory, an Availability Reserve shall be established in the amount set forth in Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or (iii),
as applicable.
(e) Except in Agent's discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations
and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection therewith shall not at any time
exceed Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000); provided, that, if the sublimit on Revolving Loans based upon Eligible Inventory pursuant
to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(B) is reduced to a lesser amount, the amount of all Letter of Credit Accommodations for the purpose of
purchasing Eligible Inventory and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Lenders in connection therewith shall not
exceed such lesser amount. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent's request, Borrowers
will either furnish cash collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations, and in either case, the Revolving Loans
otherwise available to Borrowers shall not be reduced as provided in Section 2.2(c) to the extent of such cash collateral.
(f) Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations
and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto (excluding any of the foregoing to the extent arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender), including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation. Each
Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed such Borrower's agent. Each Borrower assumes all risks
for, and agree to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of
Credit Accommodations or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Each Borrower hereby releases and holds Agent and each
Lender harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by such Borrower, by any issuer or
correspondent or otherwise, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender, with respect to or
relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation. The provisions of this Section 2.2(f) shall survive the payment of Obligations and
the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
(g) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant Borrowers any right or authority to pledge the credit of
Agent or any Lender in any manner. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of
Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Agent or any Lender, unless Agent has duly executed and delivered to such
issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Each
Borrower shall be bound by any interpretation made in good faith by Agent, or any other issuer or correspondent under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such
interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of such Borrower. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to, and no Borrower shall, without the prior written
consent of Agent: (i) approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions as to acceptance
or rejection of any documents or goods or (iii) execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or
delivery orders, and at all times, (iv)grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of,
any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (v) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations
of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances
thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral. Agent may take such actions either in its own name or in any
Borrower's name.
(h) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by any Borrower to any issuer or correspondent in any
application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by such Borrower to Agent for the ratable benefit
of Lenders. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Agent or any Lender to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by Agent or any Lender in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders and to apply in all
respects to Borrowers.

Rate Loans which will constitute Eurodollar Rate Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after
receipt by Agent of such a request from Borrowers, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such

determined by Agent (but with no obligation of Lenders to make such Loans) and (vii) each Revolving Loan Lender shall have determined
that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to such Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the
request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrowers. Any request by Borrowers to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or
to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Agent, Revolving Loan Lenders and Reference Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London

deemed to apply as if Agent, Revolving Loan Lenders and Reference Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, unless Agent has received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior
to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent's option, upon notice by Agent to
Borrowers, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default or event which, with the notice or passage of time,
or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist, (ii) this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed, or (iii) the

available to Borrowers under Section 2 hereof. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or
Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate any Revolving Loan Lender, the
Reference Bank or any Participant with any Revolving Loan Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or
expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the
foregoing.
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.1(e) below, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, interest on the
outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans at the rate of two and three-quarters percent (2.75%) per annum in excess
of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (based on the Eurodollar Rate applicable for the Interest Period selected by Borrowers as in effect
three (3) Business Days after the date of receipt by Agent of the request of Borrowers for such Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance
with the terms hereof, whether such rate is higher or lower than any rate previously quoted to Borrowers), provided, that, effective
on the first day of the calendar month immediately following Agent's receipt of the audited financial statements of Borrowers for any
twelve (12) month fiscal year (commencing with the twelve (12) month fiscal year ending December 31, 2000), and Agent's determination
that those audited financial statements comply with the requirements set forth in Section 9.6(a)(ii) hereof, such interest rate shall
be adjusted to such Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin based upon the consolidated net income of
Borrowers during such fiscal year as reflected in those audited financial statements, and provided further, that, such interest rate
shall not be reduced if those audited financial statements are qualified under GAAP or if an Event of Default is continuing as
determined by Agent, and provided further, that, if the audited financial statements of Borrowers for any fiscal year are not
furnished to Agent as and when required under Section 9.6(a)(ii) hereof, such interest rate shall be adjusted to such Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate plus the highest Eurodollar Rate Margin until Agent receives and approves those audited financial statements.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, interest, at Agent's option,
without notice, at a rate two (2.0%) percent per annum greater than the applicable rate(s) chargeable above:
(i) on the non-contingent Obligations for the period from and after the date of termination or non-renewal hereof, or the date
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Agent and until
such time as Agent has received full and final payment of all such Obligations (notwithstanding entry of any judgment against
Borrowers); and
(ii) on the Revolving Loans at any time outstanding in excess of the amounts available to Borrowers under Section 2 (whether or
not such excess(es), arise or are made with or without Agent's knowledge or consent and whether made before or after an Event of
Default).
All interest accruing hereunder on and after the occurrence of any of the events referred to in this Section 3.1(e) shall be payable
on demand.
(f) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day
of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The
interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each
increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based
on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs.
3.2 Line Increase Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as a line increase fee, Sixty-Two Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars ($62,500), which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable on the date hereof.
3.3 Extension Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as an extension fee, One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable on the date hereof.
3.4 Syndication Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account, as a syndication fee, Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000), which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable on the date hereof.
3.5 Loan Servicing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account, a monthly loan servicing fee in an amount equal to
One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500), plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in respect of Agent's services while this
Agreement remains in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on a
monthly basis, in advance, on the first day of each month.
3.6 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, monthly, an unused line fee equal to a rate
equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated upon the amount, if any, by which the sum of Sixty Million Dollars
($60,000,000) exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the
immediately preceding month while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding,
which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears; provided, that, if the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations exceeds Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) at any time, the foregoing sum of Sixty
Million Dollars ($60,000,000) shall then be permanently increased to Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000).
3.7 Compensation Adjustment.
(a) If after the date of this Agreement the introduction of, or any change in, any law or any governmental rule, regulation,
policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) having general application to financial institutions of the
same type as Agent or any Lender or any Participant, or any interpretation thereof, or compliance by Agent or any Lender or any
Participant therewith:
(i) subjects Agent or any Lender to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from Borrowers (excluding
franchise taxes imposed upon, and taxation of the overall net income of, Agent or any Lender or any Participant), or changes the
basis of taxation of payments, in either case in respect of amounts due it hereunder, or
(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve requirement or other reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Agent or any Lender or
any Participant, or
(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender or any Participant of making,
funding or maintaining the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduces any amount receivable by Agent or any Lender or any
Participant in connection with the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations, or requires Agent or any Lender or any Participant to
make payment calculated by references to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by Agent
or any Lender or any Participant, or
(iv) imposes or increases any capital requirement or affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Agent
or any Lender or any Participant or any corporation controlling Agent or any Lender or any Participant, and Agent or any Lender or
any Participant determines that such imposition or increase in capital requirements or increase in the amount of capital expected to
be maintained is based upon the existence of this Agreement or the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, all of which
may be determined by Agent's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of its impositions or increases in capital required or expected
to be maintained, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender or any Participant of making,
renewing or maintaining the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations, or to reduce the rate of return to Agent or any Lender or any
Participant on the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations, then upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit
of Lenders, and continue to make periodic payments to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, such additional amounts as may be necessary
to compensate any Lender or any Participant for any such additional cost incurred or reduced rate of return realized.
(b) A certificate of Agent or any Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the
additional amount or amounts to be paid and the compensation and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining
any additional amounts due from Borrowers under this Section 3.5, Agent and each Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and
will, to the extent that the increased costs, reductions, or amounts received or receivable relate to Agent or such Lender's or a
Participant's loans or commitments generally and are not specifically attributable to the Loans and commitments hereunder, use
averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and equitable and which cover all such loans and commitments by Agent or such
Lender or such Participant, as the case may be, whether or not the loan documentation for such other loans and commitments permits
Agent or such Lender or such Participant to receive compensation costs of the type described in this Section 3.5.
3.8 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon notice by Agent to
Borrowers, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) any change in applicable law or regulation having general application to
financial institutions of the same type as Agent, any Lender, Reference Bank or any Participant, as applicable (or the interpretation
or administration thereof) shall either (A) make it unlawful for Agent, any Lender, Reference Bank or any Participant to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or to comply with the terms hereof in connection with the Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (B) shall result
in the increase in the costs to Agent, any Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate
Loans by an amount deemed by Agent to be material, or (C) reduce the amounts received or receivable by Agent or such Lender in
respect thereof, by an amount deemed by Agent to be material or (ii) the cost to Agent, any Lender, Reference Bank or any Participant
of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall otherwise increase by an amount deemed by Agent to be material. Upon demand
by Agent, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for itself or the applicable Lender (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of
Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate Agent, or the applicable Lender, Reference Bank or any Participant for any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of the foregoing, including, without
limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by such person to make or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof. A certificate setting forth the basis for the
determination of such amount necessary to compensate the Agent or applicable Lender as aforesaid shall be delivered to Borrowers and
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. In determining any additional amounts due from Borrowers under this Section 3.6, Agent
or the applicable Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent that the increased costs, reductions, or
amounts received or receivable relate to the Agent's or applicable Lender's or a Participant's loans or commitments generally and are
not specifically attributable to the Loans and commitments hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and
equitable and which cover all such loans and commitments by the Agent or applicable Lender or such Participant, as the case may be,
whether or not the loan documentation for such other loans and commitments permits the Agent, Lender or such Participant to receive
compensation costs of the type described in this Section 3.6.
(b) If any payments or prepayments in respect of the Eurodollar Rate Loans are received by Agent or the applicable Lender other
than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether pursuant to acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), including any
payments pursuant to the application of collections under Section 6.3 or any other payments made with the proceeds of Collateral,
Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for itself or the applicable Lender (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers)
any amounts required to compensate Agent, or the applicable Lender, Reference Bank or any Participant for any additional loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of such prepayment or payment,
including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by such person to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof.

5.7 as to Creative Computers, the Real Estate; and
5.8 all products and proceeds of the foregoing, in any form, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and any claims
against third parties for loss or damage to or destruction of any or all of the foregoing.
SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION.
6.1 Borrowers' Loan Account. Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all
Loans, all Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of
Borrowers and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees,
charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent's customary
practices as in effect from time to time.
6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to Borrowers each month a statement setting forth the balance in the Borrowers' loan
account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs
and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions,
be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and conclusively binding upon Borrowers as an account stated except to the
extent that Agent receives a written notice from Borrowers of any specific exceptions of Borrowers thereto within sixty (60) days
after the date such statement has been mailed by Agent. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to Borrowers a written
statement as provided above, the balance in Borrowers' loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to
Agent and Lenders by Borrowers.
6.3 Collection of Accounts.
(a) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, deposit account arrangements and merchant payment arrangements
with the banks set forth on Schedule 8.8 and after prior written notice to Agent, such other banks as Borrowers may hereafter select
as are acceptable to Agent. The banks set forth on Schedule 8.8 constitute all of the banks with whom any Borrower has deposit
account arrangements and merchant payment arrangements as of the date hereof.
(i) Borrowers shall deposit all proceeds from sales of Inventory in every form (including, without limitation, cash, checks,
credit card sales drafts, credit card sales of charge slip or receipts and other forms of daily receipts) and all other proceeds of
Collateral that are received at Borrowers' retail store location(s), on each Business Day into the deposit accounts of Borrowers used
solely for such purpose as set forth on Schedule 8.8. Borrowers shall irrevocably authorize and direct in writing, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, each of the banks into which proceeds from sales of Inventory and any and all other proceeds of
Collateral are at any time deposited as provided above to send by wire transfer on a daily basis all funds deposited in such account,
and shall irrevocably authorize and direct in writing their account debtors, Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card/Check Processors to
directly remit payments on their Accounts, Credit Card Receivables and all other payments constituting process of Inventory to the
Blocked Accounts described in Section 6.3(a)(ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, those of such banks used by Borrowers' retail store location in Memphis, Tennessee shall remit the foregoing
proceeds received by them to the Blocked Accounts on a weekly basis, instead of a daily basis, provided, that, the aggregate sum of
such proceeds held by those banks shall not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) at any time. Such authorizations and directions
shall not be rescinded, revoked or modified without the prior written consent of Agent.
(ii) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, a blocked account or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in
either case, each a "Blocked Account" and collectively the "Blocked Accounts"), as Agent may specify, with such bank or banks as are
acceptable to Agent into which Borrowers shall promptly deposit and direct their account debtors to directly remit all payments on
Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are
made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Each bank at which a Blocked Account is established shall enter into an agreement, in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent, providing (unless otherwise agreed to by Agent) that all items received or deposited in
such Blocked Account are the Collateral of Agent and Lenders, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to setoff against,
the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time on deposit therein and that the
depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, all funds received or deposited
into such Blocked Account to such bank account of Agent as Agent may from time to time designate for such purpose (the "Payment
Account"). Borrowers agree that all amounts deposited in the Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any
Lender, whether as proceeds of Inventory, the collection of Accounts or other Collateral or otherwise shall be the Collateral of
Agent and Lenders.
(b) For purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional
upon final collection) to the Obligations one-half of one (1/2) Business Day following the date of receipt of immediately available
funds by Agent in the Payment Account (such that Borrowers will pay a charge equal to one-half (1/2) of the additional interest that
would have accrued on the sum of such payments or other funds if the sum was applied to the Obligations one (1) Business Day after
receipt of immediately available funds by Lenders in the Payment Account). For purposes of calculating the amount of the Revolving
Loans available to Borrowers such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day
of receipt by Agent in the Payment Account, if such payments are received within sufficient time (in accordance with Agent's usual
and customary practices as in effect from time to time) to credit Borrowers' loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next
Business Day. In the event that at any time or from time to time there are no Revolving Loans outstanding, Lenders shall be entitled
to an administrative charge in an amount equivalent to the interest Lenders would have received on account of the above one-half of
one (1/2) Business Day clearance had there been Revolving Loans outstanding.
(c) Borrowers and all of their affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, employees or agents shall, acting as trustee
for Agent and Lenders, receive, as the property of Agent and Lenders, any monies, cash, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment
relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or from sales of Inventory or other Collateral which come into their possession or under
their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit
the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall any such monies, checks, notes, drafts or other
payments be commingled with any Borrower's own funds. Borrowers agree to reimburse Agent and the Lenders on demand for any amounts
owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to
or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Agent's or any Lender's payments to or indemnification of such bank or person, unless
such payment or indemnification obligation of Agent or Lender was a result of Agent's or such Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Agent and Lenders for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive
the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
6.4 Payments. All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 of this Agreement or such
other place as Agent may designate from time to time. Agent may apply payments received or collected from Borrowers or for the
account of Borrowers (including, without limitation, the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) to
such of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Agent determines; provided, that, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds generated in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business on Accounts or Inventory
will not be applied to any principal amount not yet due and payable on the Term Loan or to contingent Obligations; and provided
further, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds of Collateral shall be applied to those Obligations
owing under or in connection with this Agreement before being applied to any other Obligations except to the extent that Agent
established (prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default) and is maintaining an Availability Reserve for such other
Obligations. At Agent's option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or
the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrowers. Borrowers shall make all payments to
Agents and the Lenders on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff,
counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If
after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is
required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied
by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by such Person. Borrowers shall be liable to pay to Agent and Lenders, and do hereby
indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section
6.4 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such
payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this
Agreement.
6.5 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Obligor hereunder and under any other Financing Agreement shall
be made, in accordance with Section 6.4 of this Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, excluding
(i) income taxes imposed on the net income of any Lender (or any transferee or assignee of such Lender, including any Participant, any
such transferee or assignee being referred to as a "Transferee") and (ii) franchise or similar taxes imposed on or determined by
reference to the net income of any Lender (or Transferee), in each case by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which such Lender (or Transferee) (A) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or (B) has its applicable lending
office located. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority, in accordance with applicable law,
any Other Taxes.
(b) If any Borrower or any Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender (or Agent on behalf of such Lender)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;
(ii) such Borrower or such Obligor shall make such deductions and withholdings;
(iii) such Borrower or such Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law; and
(iv) to the extent not paid to Agent and Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, such Borrower or such Obligor shall also pay to
Agent or any Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which Agent or any Lender specifies as necessary to
preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by any Borrower or any Obligor of Taxes or Other Taxes, such Person
shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment
reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(d) Borrowers will indemnify Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by Agent or
such Lender (or Transferee, as the case may be). If Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) receives a refund in respect of any Taxes
or Other Taxes for which Lender (or Transferee) has received payment from any Borrower or any Obligor hereunder, so long as no
Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall credit to
the loan account of Borrowers the amount of such refund plus any interest received (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by any Borrower or any Obligor under this Section 6.5 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund). If a Lender (or any Transferee) claims a tax credit in respect of any Taxes for which it has been
indemnified by Borrower or any Obligor pursuant to this Section 6.5, such Lender will apply the amount of the actual dollar benefit
received by such Lender as a result thereof, as reasonably calculated by Lender and net of all expenses related thereto, to the
Loans. If Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, Agent or such Lender shall, upon Borrower's request and at
Borrowers' expense, provide such documents to Borrower as Borrower may reasonably request, to enable Borrowers to contest such Taxes
or Other Taxes pursuant to appropriate proceedings then available to Borrowers (so long as providing such documents shall not, in the
good faith determination of Agent, have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in any liability of Agent or any Lender).
(e) In the event any Transferee is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers two (2) copies of either United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8, or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten (10%) percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Borrower or any Obligor and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to
any Borrower or any Obligor (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by any Borrower or any Obligor under this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. Such forms shall be delivered by any Transferee that is a Non-U.S. Lender on or before
the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a Participant, on or before the date such
Participant becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending
office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, a Non-U.S. Lender shall upon written notice
from Borrowers promptly deliver such new forms as are required by the Code or the regulations issued thereunder to claim exemption
from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered
by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5(e), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.5(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(f) Borrowers and Obligors shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any
Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to subsections (a) or (d) above to the extent that (i)
the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax was applicable on the date such Non-U.S.
Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a Participant, on the date such Participant became a
Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending
Office with respect to a Loan; provided, that, this subsection (f) shall not apply (A) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that
becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request
of any Borrower or any Obligor and (B) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, acting through a New
Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or
additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee making the designation of such
New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or
(ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the
provisions of subsection (e) above.
6.6 Authorization to Make Loans. Agent and each Lender is authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit
Accommodations based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of a Borrower or other
authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent or any Lender, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations; provided,
that, proceeds of Loans shall be remitted by Agent and the Lenders to accounts designated by Borrowers in writing, which accounts
shall be accounts of Borrowers unless otherwise agreed by Agent. All requests for Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder
shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established (which day shall
be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received at or before 10:30 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on any
Business Day shall be deemed to have been made as of such Business Day. Requests received on any day that is not a Business Day or
received after 10:30 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent and the Lenders will make the
Loans or commence arranging for the Letter of Credit Accommodations (as requested by Borrowers) on the Business Day the request is
deemed to have been made or such later Business Day as may be specified by Borrowers. All Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations
under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrowers
when deposited to the credit of Borrowers or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrowers or
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.7 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Loans provided by or on behalf of Lenders to Borrowers
hereunder only for costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements executed in connection herewith. All other Loans made or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided
by or on behalf of Lenders to Borrowers pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrowers only for general operating,
working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds
will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing
or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which
might cause any of the Loans to be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, as amended.
6.8 Pro Rata Treatment.. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) (i) the making and conversion of
Revolving Loans shall be made among the Revolving Loan Lenders based on their respective Pro Rate Shares as to the Revolving Credit
Loans, and (ii) the making of Term Loans shall be made among the Term Loan Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to
the Term Loans; and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any
Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata
Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.
6.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Each Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim any
Agent or Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the
provisions of Section 6.8(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of any Borrower at any of its offices, in dollars
or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such
Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), in which case it shall
promptly notify Borrowers and Agent thereof; provided, that, such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
thereof.
(b) Agent and Lenders agree that no Lender shall, except upon the prior written consent of Agent, exercise any right of setoff,
banker's lien or counterclaim such Lender may have with respect to any property held by such Lender for the account of any Borrower.
If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or
payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement through the exercise (in accordance with the terms
hereof) of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided
herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans
or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by such Borrower to such Lender than the percentage
thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and
simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other
Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as
shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be
incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as
otherwise agreed by Lenders. To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation pursuant to subsection (b) above (or direct interest) may
exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such
Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to
exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any
Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a
setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of
Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders
entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
6.10 Settlement Procedures.
(a) In order to administer the credit facility provided hereunder in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds
between Agent and Lenders, Agent may, subject to the terms of this Section, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of
the Loans requested or charged to Borrowers' loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof,
without any requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.
(b) With respect to all Revolving Loans made by Agent on behalf of Revolving Loan Lenders as provided in this Section, the
amount of each Revolving Loan Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be
adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans as of 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles time on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Agent retains the absolute right at any
time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly, but in no event more than
twice in any week. Agent shall deliver to each of the Revolving Loan Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or
periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans for such period (such week or
lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a "Settlement Period"). If the summary statement is sent by Agent and
received by a Revolving Loan Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. Los Angeles time, then such Revolving Loan Lender shall make the settlement
transfer described in this Section by no later than 2:00 p.m. Los Angeles time on the next Business Day following the date of
receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans is
more than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such
Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer
in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding Revolving Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
Revolving Loans for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately
available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Revolving Loan Lenders to transfer such funds and effect
such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent. Each of Agent and Revolving
Loan Lenders agrees to ▇▇▇▇ its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its
Pro Rate Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall only be
entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because
the Agent on behalf of Revolving Loan Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when Lenders
will actually advance and/or be repaid such Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by Agent in
accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Revolving Loan Lender and the Agent and shall
accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by any Borrower
or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.
(c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred,
upon repayment of any Loans by any Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by any Agent
pursuant to this Section. In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, Agent may at any time require each Lender to provide Agent
with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Loan, prior to Agent's disbursement of such Loan to any
Borrower. In such event, all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro
Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender's obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender
in the other Lender's obligation to make a Loan hereunder.
(d) If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to Borrowers pursuant to this Section on any day, Agent may assume that each
Lender will make available to Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and
Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to Borrowers on such
day. If Agent makes such corresponding amount available to Borrowers and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to
Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest
thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate provided for
in Section 3.1 hereof. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, the amount so advanced by Agent to any
Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay
Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Borrowers of such failure and Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount
to Agent for its own account. A Lender who fails to pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loans made available by the Agent on such
Lender's behalf, or any Lender who fails to pay any other amount owing to Agent, is a "Defaulting Lender". Agent shall not be
obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Obligor to Agent for the
Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to
a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to any Borrower
the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or
consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and determining Pro Rata Shares, such
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and such Defaulting Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). This
Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall
not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower
or any Obligor of their duties and obligations hereunder.
(e) Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to
advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to
prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling
its Commitment.
SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS.
7.1 Collateral Reporting. Borrowers shall provide Agent with the following documents in a form satisfactory to Agent: (a) on a
weekly basis, (i) schedules of sales made, credits issued and cash received, which, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or
the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Borrower, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing or such
bankruptcy petition has not been dismissed, shall separately account for sales of Inventory subject to the security interest of IBM
Credit Corporation, (ii) borrowing base certificates, (iii) schedules of Inventory (net of fixed assets) separately identifying
Inventory by vendor, type, location and age, with perpetual inventory reports, and (iv) schedules of accounts payable and accrued
accounts payable to any vendor holding a security interest in any property of the Borrowers; (b) on a monthly basis, on or before the
tenth (10th) Business Day of such month for the immediately preceding month or more frequently as Agent may request, (i) agings of
accounts receivable, (ii) agings of accounts payable, accrued accounts payable, lease payables and other payables, and (iii) a
certificate from an authorized officer of Borrowers representing that each Borrower has made payment of sales and use taxes during
such month or, at Agent's request, other evidence of such payment; (c) upon Agent's request, (i) copies of customer statements and
credit memos, remittance advices and reports, and copies of deposit slips and bank statements, (ii) copies of shipping and delivery
documents, and (iii) copies of purchase orders, invoices and delivery documents for Inventory and Equipment acquired by Borrowers;
and (d) such other reports as to the Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations as Agent shall request from
time to time. Borrowers shall provide Agent, as soon as available, but in any event not later than five (5) days after receipt by
Borrowers, with all statements received from Apple Computer and any other vendor who may hold a security interest in any Borrowers'
assets, together with such additional information as shall be sufficient to enable Agent to monitor the accounts payable and accrued
accounts payable to them. If any of Borrowers' records or reports of the Collateral or other property which is security for the
Obligations are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor, shipper or other agent, Borrowers hereby irrevocably
authorize such service, contractor, shipper or agent to deliver such records, reports, and related documents to Agent and to follow
Agent's instructions with respect to further services at any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing.
7.2 Accounts Covenants.
(a) Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of the assertion of any claims, offsets, defenses of counterclaims by any account
debtor, or any disputes with any of such persons or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, in the schedules, certificates
and reports provided pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.
(b) Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of: (i) any material delay in any Borrower's performance of any of its
obligations to any account debtor or the assertion of any claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims by any account debtor, or any
disputes with account debtors, or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information relating to
the financial condition of any account debtor and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to Borrowers' knowledge would cause Agent to
consider any then existing Accounts as no longer constituting Eligible Accounts. No credit, discount, allowance or extension or
agreement for any of the foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor except
in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business in accordance with its most recent past practices and policies. So long as no Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or
dispute with any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business in
accordance with their most recent past practices and policies. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or
dispute with any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor or grant any credits, discounts or allowances.
Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of (i) any notice of a material default by any Borrower under any of the Credit Card/Check
Processing Agreements or of any default which might result in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor ceasing to make
payments or suspending payments to Borrowers, (ii) any notice from any Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor that such
person is ceasing or suspending, or will cease or suspend, any present or future payments due or to become due to Borrowers from such
person, or that such person is terminating or will terminate any of the Credit Card/Check Processing Agreements, and (iii) the
failure of any Borrower to comply with any material terms of the Credit Card/Check Processing Agreements or any terms thereof which
might result in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor ceasing or suspending payments to Borrowers.
(c) Without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to deliver any other information to Agent, Borrowers shall promptly report to
Agent any return of Inventory by any account debtor. At any time that Inventory is returned, reclaimed or repossessed, the Account
(or portion thereof) which arose from the sale of such returned, reclaimed or repossessed Inventory shall not be deemed an Eligible
Account. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing,
Borrowers shall, upon Agent's request, (i) hold the returned Inventory in trust for Agent, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from
all of its other property, (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Agent's instructions, and (iv) not issue any
credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without Agent's prior written consent.
(d) With respect to each Account and Credit Card/Check Processing Receivable: (i) the amounts shown on any invoice delivered to
Agent or schedule thereof delivered to Agent shall be true and complete, (ii) no payments shall be made thereon except payments
delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) no credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of
the foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card/Check Processor except as reported to Agent
in accordance with this Agreement and except for credits, discounts, allowances or extensions made or given in the ordinary course of
Borrowers' business in accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed to Agent, (iv) there shall be no setoffs,
deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as reported to Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate any applicable State or
Federal Laws or regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient under such laws and regulations and all
such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(e) Agent shall have the right at any time or times, in Agent's name or in the name of a nominee of Agent, to verify the
validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account, Credit Card/Check Processing Receivable or other Collateral, by mail,
telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.
(f) Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent, with appropriate endorsement and assignment, with full recourse
to Borrowers, all chattel paper and instruments which Borrowers now own or may at any time acquire immediately upon Borrowers'
receipt thereof, except as Agent may otherwise agree.
(g) Agent may, at any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred, (i) notify any or all account debtors,
Credit Card Issuers or Credit Card/Check Processors that the Accounts and Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables have been assigned
to Agent and that Agent and the Lenders have a security interest therein and Agent may direct any or all account debtors, Credit Card
Issuers or Credit Card/Check Processors to make payments of Accounts and Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables directly to Agent,
(ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any
terms or conditions, any and all Accounts and Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables or other obligations included in the
Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor, Credit Card Issuer, Credit Card/Check Processor or any other party or
parties in any way liable for payment thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of
any Accounts and Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent shall
not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof or for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect
thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time
that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent's request, all invoices and statements sent to any
account debtor shall state that the Accounts due from such account debtor and such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and
are payable directly and only to Agent and Borrowers shall deliver to Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and
delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require.
7.3 Inventory Covenants. With respect to the Inventory:
(a) Borrowers shall at all times maintain inventory records reasonably satisfactory to Agent, keeping correct and accurate
records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of Inventory, Borrowers' cost therefor and daily withdrawals
therefrom and additions thereto;
(b) Borrowers shall cause a third party firm acceptable to Agent to conduct a complete physical count of the Inventory at a
minimum of once every twelve (12) months but at any time as Agent may reasonably request upon the occurrence and during the

and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent concerning such physical count;
(c) Borrowers shall not remove any Inventory from the locations set forth or permitted herein, without the prior written consent

Agent may request upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent
written reports or appraisals as to the Inventory in form, scope and methodology acceptable to Agent and addressing such issues as
Agent may require in its commercially reasonable judgment, issued by an appraiser acceptable to Agent, and addressed to Agent and
Lenders or upon which Agent and Lenders are expressly permitted to rely (with the understanding that Agent may revise the definition
of 'Eligible Inventory' hereunder or establish Availability Reserves as Agent may deem advisable in its sole discretion based upon
the results of such updated appraisals);
(e) Borrowers shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory, with all reasonable care and caution and in accordance with
applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with applicable laws (including, but not limited to, the requirements of the

(f) Borrowers assume all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the production, use, sale or other disposition
of the Inventory;
(g) Borrowers shall not sell Inventory to any customer on approval, or any other basis which entitles the customer to return or

(h) Borrowers shall keep the Inventory in good and marketable condition;
(i) Borrowers shall not, without prior written notice to Agent, acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval; and
(j) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall not return any Inventory to its
vendors without the prior consent of Agent.

benefit of Borrowers in the ordinary course of business;
(f) the Equipment is now and shall remain personal property and Borrowers shall not permit any of the Equipment to be or become
a part of or affixed to real property; and
(g) Borrowers assume all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Equipment.
7.5 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent (and all persons designated by Agent) as
such Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Agent, in such Borrower's or Agent's name, to:
(a) at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:
(i) demand payment on Accounts, Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables or other proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral;
(ii) enforce payment of Accounts, Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables or other Obligations included in the Collateral by

Agent, and open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower, provided, that, any such mail received by Agent that does not
constitute checks or other items of payment shall be forwarded by Agent to such Borrower promptly after receipt by Agent; and
(ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in Agent's determination, to fulfill Borrowers' obligations under this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements; and
(b) at any time, subject to the terms of the agreement(s) relating to the Blocked Account(s) to:
(i) take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof;

(vi) execute in such Borrower's name and file any UCC financing statements or amendments thereto as deemed appropriate by Agent
to perfect its security interests in the Collateral.
Each Borrower hereby releases Agent and each Lender and each of their respective officers, employees and designees from any
liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission,
except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent's or such Lender's or their respective officers, employees
or designees as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
7.6 Right to Cure. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, (a) cure
any default by any Borrower under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any
Borrower, (b) discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the
Collateral and (c) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Agent's judgment, is necessary or appropriate to
preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Agent and Lenders may
add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrowers' account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Borrowers on
demand. Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed
to have assumed any obligation or liability of Borrowers. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent or any Lender under this
Section 7.6 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.
7.7 Access to Premises. From time to time as requested by Agent, at the cost and expense of Borrowers, no more than three (3)
times in any twelve (12) month period, but at any time or times as Agent may request upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, (a) Agent or its designee shall have complete access to all of Borrowers' premises during normal business
hours and after two (2) Business Days prior notice to Borrowers, or at any time and without notice to Borrowers if an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of
Borrowers' books and records, including, without limitation, the Records, and (b) Borrowers shall promptly furnish to Agent such
copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as Agent may reasonably request, and (c)Agent may use during normal business
hours such of Borrowers' personnel, equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the foregoing and if an Event
of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing for the collection of Accounts or Credit Card/Check Processing Receivables and
realization of other Collateral..
SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders the following (which shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of Loans and the providing of
Letter of Credit Accommodations by Lender to Borrowers:
8.1 Corporate Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries. Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized and in good standing
under the laws of its state of incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or
other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification
necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on such
Borrower's financial condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Agent or any Lender in or to any of the Collateral.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements to which any Borrower is a party and the
transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder are all within such Borrower's corporate or company powers, have been duly
authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of such Borrower's certificate of incorporation or formation, by-laws or
operating agreement, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which such Borrower is a
party or by which such Borrower or its property are bound. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which any Borrower

is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the Borrowers' actual knowledge threatened, against any Borrower
or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which if adversely determined
against Borrowers would result in any material adverse change in the assets or business of Borrowers or would impair the ability of
any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements to which it is a party or of Agent
or any Lender to enforce any Obligations or realize upon a material portion of the Collateral.

which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice or
consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent and

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, and
upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof
to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections

for future delivery, with the Agent or any Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such

leased by Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment

conduct, but only by a written agreement signed as provided in Section 11.3(b) hereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, by any

such notice is a "Notice of Default or Failure of Condition". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of
Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall
have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest
of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the contrary, Agent may,
but shall have no obligation to, continue to make Loans and issue or cause to be issued Letter of Credit Accommodations for the
ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Agent believes making such Loans or issuing or causing to be issued such
Letter of Credit Accommodations is in the best interests of Lenders.
(b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect
of the Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, as against any Borrower or any Obligor or any of the Collateral
or other property of any Borrower or any Obligor.
12.4 Wachovia in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made and Letter of Credit Accommodations
issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as Agent), so long as Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western)
shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not acting as Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include
Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western) in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation
(Western) (and any successor acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money
to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers and Obligors (and any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western) and its Affiliates
may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers and Obligors for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
without having to account for the same to Lenders.
12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting
the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason
of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs
and expenses that Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other
documents, provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
12.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower
and Obligors and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Agent shall
not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Obligor of any term or provision
of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to
inspect the properties or books of any Borrower or any Obligor. Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any
information received by Agent from any Borrower or any Obligor which is required to be provided to Lenders hereunder and with a copy
of any "Notice of Default or Failure of Condition" received by Agent from any Borrower, any Obligor or any Lender; provided, that,
Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent's
own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of any Borrower or any Obligor that may come into the possession of Agent.
12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further
assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against any and all
liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
12.8 Additional Loans. Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letter of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower
on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would cause the
aggregate amount of the total outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers to exceed the amount set forth in
Section 2.1(a) hereof (the "Borrowing Base"), without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Agent may make such additional
Loans or provide such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations on behalf of Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that
such Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations will cause the total outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers
exceed the Borrowing Base as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion, provided, that: (a) the total principal amount
of the additional Loans or additional Letter of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower which Agent may make or provide after obtaining
such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans equal or exceed the Borrowing Base shall not exceed the amount
equal to ten (10%) percent of the Borrowing Base at the time and shall not cause the total principal amount of the Loans and Letter
of Credit Accommodations to exceed the Maximum Credit and (b) without the consent of all Lenders, Agent shall not make any such
additional Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations more than ninety (90) days from the date of the first such additional Loans or
Letter of Credit Accommodations. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional
Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided that Agent is acting in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.8.
12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements relating to the Collateral, for the ratable benefit of Lenders and Agent. Each Lender
agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
12.10 Field Audits; Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or
examination report and a weekly report with respect to the Borrowing Base prepared by Agent (each field audit or examination report
and weekly report with respect to the Borrowing Base (as defined in Section 12.8 hereof) being referred to herein as a "Report" and
collectively, the "Reports");
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any
Report, or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; provided, that, nothing contained in this Section
12.10 shall be construed to limit the liability of Agent under Section 12.1(c) hereof in the event of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Agent as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction;
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party
performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and Obligors and will rely
significantly upon each Borrower's books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower's personnel; and
(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 13.7
hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.
12.11 Collateral Matters.
(a) Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is
continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such
disbursements and advances ("Special Agent Advances") which Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable either (i) to
preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof (provided that in no event shall Special Agent Advances for such purpose
exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate outstanding at any time), provided, that, unless all Lenders otherwise
agree in writing, the Special Agent Advances under this clause (i) shall not cause the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans, the
Letter of Credit Accommodations and such Special Agent Advances to exceed the Maximum Credit, and Agent shall make commercially
reasonable arrangements with Borrowers for the repayment in full of such Special Agent Advances within a reasonable time, or (ii) to
pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement consisting of costs, fees and expenses and
payments to any issuer of Letter of Credit Accommodations. Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the
Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Agent shall
notify each Lender and Borrowers in writing of each such Special Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the
purpose of such Special Agent Advance. Without limitation of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.10, each Lender agrees that it
shall make available to Agent, upon Agent's demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of each such Special Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover
such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date
such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate then payable by Borrowers in respect of the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section
3.1 hereof.
(b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any security interest in,
mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the
Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 13.1 hereof, or (ii) constituting property being
sold or disposed of if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms hereof, including
Section 9.7 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property
in which any Borrower or any Obligor did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien was granted or at
any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or (v) if approved, authorized or
ratified in writing by all of Lenders. Except as provided above, Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien
upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all of Lenders (and any Lender may require that the proceeds
from any sale or other disposition of the Collateral to be so released be applied to the Obligations in a manner satisfactory to such
Lender). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly confirm in writing Agent's authority to release particular types
or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c) Without any manner limiting Agent's authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the
Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon
Agent under this Section. Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens granted to Agent for itself and the benefit of the
Lenders upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided, that, (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such
document on terms which, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence
other than the release of such security interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in
any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or lien upon (or obligations of any
Borrower in respect of) the Collateral retained by any Borrower.
(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or any Obligor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that
any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letter of Credit
Accommodations hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and security interests granted to
Agent herein or pursuant hereto or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced
or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure
or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or
in any of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or
event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent's own interest in the
Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.
12.12 Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the
security interests in and liens upon the Collateral of Agent for itself and the ratable benefit of Lenders in assets which, in
accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such
Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to
Agent or in accordance with Agent's instructions.
12.13 Failure to Respond Deemed Consent. In the event any Lender's consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any request by Agent for such consent within ten (10) days after such request is made
to such Lender, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent.
SECTION 13. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS.
13.1 Term.
(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof
and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Final Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
terms hereof. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in full, all outstanding and unpaid non-contingent Obligations and shall furnish cash
collateral to Agent, (or at Agent's option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers and at Borrowers' expense, in form
and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an issuer acceptable to Agent and payable to Agent as beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders) in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure (or reimburse) Agent and Lenders from loss, cost,
damage or expense, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and
outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which
Agent and Lenders have not yet received final and indefeasible payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash
collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion,
designate in writing to Borrowers for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts
so paid by any Borrower to the bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Los Angeles
time.
(b) No termination of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge any Borrower of its respective
duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and
finally discharged and paid, provided, that, Lender shall terminate its security interests in the Collateral upon the payments and
furnishing of cash collateral by Borrowers to Lender in the full sums required in Section 13.1(a) above.
(c) If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Final Maturity Date, in view of the impracticality and extreme
difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Agent's and
Lenders' lost profits as a result thereof, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of Lenders, upon the
effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in the amount set forth below if such termination is effective in the
period indicated:
Amount Period
(i) 0.25% of the Maximum Credit To and including ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇
(▇▇) 0.125% of the Maximum Credit After March 7, 2006 to and including September
7, 2006
(iii) $0 After September 7, 2006
Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Agent and Lenders as a result of such early
termination and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. Agent and Lenders shall be
entitled to such early termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) hereof,
even if Agent and Lenders do not exercise their right to terminate this Agreement, but elect, at their option, to provide financing
to Borrowers or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The early termination fee provided for in
this Section 12.1 shall be deemed included in the Obligations. The early termination fee shall be waived if the Obligations are
repaid after the first anniversary of this Agreement, from the proceeds of loans made by Reference Bank or its affiliates, or from
the proceeds of unsecured loans.
13.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and (a) made to Agent and Lenders at their
respective addresses set forth below and to Borrowers at their chief executive office set forth below, or to such other address as
either party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with this provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or
made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile transmission, immediately upon sending
and upon confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next
Business Day, one (1) Business Day after sending; and if by certified mail, return receipt requested, five (5) days after mailing.
13.3 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain
the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and
enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.
13.4 Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and their respective successors and assigns,
except that Borrowers may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred
to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders. No Lender may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (or any part thereof) without the prior written consent of all Lenders and Agent, except as permitted under Section
13.5 hereof. Any purported assignment by a Lender without such prior express consent or compliance with Section 13.5 where
applicable, shall be void. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are for the purpose of
defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrowers, Obligors, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements
13.5 Assignments and Participations.
(a) Each Lender may (i) assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and its rights and obligations as a Lender with respect to Letters of
Credit Accommodations) and the other Financing Agreements; to its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at
least fifty (50%) percent owned by such Lender or its parent company or to one or more Lenders or (ii) assign all, or if less than
all a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such rights and
obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement
as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that, (A) the consent of Agent shall be required in connection
with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) above, (B) if such Eligible Transferee is not a bank, Agent
shall receive a representation in writing by such Eligible Transferee that either (1) no part of its acquisition of its Loans is made
out of assets of any employee benefit plan, or (2) after consultation, in good faith, with Borrowers and provision by Borrowers of
such information as may be reasonably requested by such Eligible Transferee, the acquisition and holding of such Commitments and
Loans does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, or (3) such
assignment is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in the Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95.60 (issued July 12, 1995) ("PTCE 95-60"), and, as of the date of the assignment, there is no "employee benefit plan"
with respect to which the aggregate amount of such general account's reserves and liabilities for the contracts held by or on behalf
of such "employee benefit plan" and all other "employee benefit plans" maintained by the same employer (and affiliates thereof as
defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTCE 95-60) or by the same employee organization (in each case determined in accordance with the
provisions of PTCE 95-60) exceeds ten (10%) percent of the total reserves and liabilities of such general account (as determined
under PTCE 95-60) (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners Annual Statement filed with the state of domicile of such Eligible Transferee and (C) such transfer or assignment will
not be effective until recorded by the Agent on the Register. As used in this Section, the term "employee benefit plan" shall have
the meaning assigned to it in Title I of ERISA and shall also include a "plan" as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code.
(b) Agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount of their
Loans (the "Register"). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall
modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. Upon its receipt of each Assignment and Acceptance, Agent will
give prompt notice thereof to Lenders and deliver to each of them a copy of the executed Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Obligors, Agent and Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, Obligors and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Financing Agreements and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations

to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender,
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, (v) such assignee
appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by
the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Agent and Lenders may
furnish any information concerning Borrowers, Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries in the possession of Agent or any Lender from
time to time to assignees and Participants.
(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it and its participation in the Letter of Credit Accommodations, without the consent of Agent or
the other Lenders); provided, that, (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment
hereunder) and the other Financing Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and Borrowers, Obligors, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements, (iii) the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
(the Participant's rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by
such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by any Borrower or any Obligor hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, and (iv) if such Participant is not a bank, represent that either (A)
no part of its acquisition of its participation is made out of assets of any employee benefit plan, or (B) after consultation, in
good faith, with Borrowers and provision by Borrowers of such information as may be reasonably requested by the Participant, the
acquisition and holding of such participation does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code, or (C) such participation is an "insurance company general account, " as such term is defined in the "PTCE
95-60", and, as of the date of the transfer there is no "employee benefit plan" with respect to which the aggregate amount of such
general account's reserves and liabilities for the contracts held by or on behalf of such "employee benefit plan" and all other
"employee benefit plans" maintained by the same employer (and affiliates thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTCE 95-60) or by
the same employee organization (in each case determined in accordance with the provisions of PTCE 95-60) exceeds ten (10%) percent of
the total reserves and liabilities of such general account (as determined under PTCE 95-60) (exclusive of separate account
liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Annual Statement filed with the state

delivery of informational materials, appraisals or other documents for, and the participation of relevant management in meetings and
conference calls with, potential assignees or Participants. Each Borrower shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy
of all descriptions of such Borrower and its affairs provided, prepared or reviewed by such Borrower that are contained in any
selling materials and all other information provided by it and included in such materials.
13.6 Participant's Security Interest. If a Participant shall at any time participate with any Lender in the Loans, Letter of
Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, Borrowers hereby grant to such Participant and such Participant shall have and is hereby
given, a continuing lien on and security interest in any money, securities and other property of Borrowers in the custody or
possession of the Participant, including the right of setoff, to the extent of the Participant's participation in the Obligations,
and such Participant shall be deemed to have the same right of setoff to the extent of its participation in the Obligations, as it
would have if it were a direct lender.
13.7 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts not to disclose, without the prior consent
of Borrowers, confidential information with respect to Borrowers, any Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries which is
furnished pursuant to this Agreement and which is specifically designated as confidential in writing by Borrowers; provided, that,
any Lender may disclose any such information (a) to its employees, auditors or counsel, or to another Lender if the disclosing Lender

such information, (b) as has become generally available to the public without a breach of this Section 13.7, (c) as may be required
or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction

assignee or Participant has agreed in writing to the confidentiality of any such confidential information in accordance with the
terms of this Section 13.7. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of confidentiality contained
herein, as they relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment
of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and
all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of such transactions (including all
written materials related to such tax structure and tax treatment). The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions
contemplated hereby to not be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section
1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it

concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning
the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written.
13.9 Publicity. Borrowers consent to Agent publishing a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing
transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 14. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; SURETYSHIP WAIVERS
14.1 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 either may now have or hereafter acquire
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 Agent or any Lender
against any Borrower or any Collateral which Agent or any 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.
14.2 Authority to Modify Obligations and Security. Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders, 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
Agent and Lenders, in their sole discretion, may determine; (d) deal with the other Borrowers as Agent or any Lender may elect; (e)
in Agent's and Lenders' 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; (f) apply any and all payments or recoveries from the other
Borrowers as Agent or Lenders, in their 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 (g) apply any sums realized from
Collateral furnished by the other Borrowers upon any of its indebtedness or obligations to Agent or Lenders as they in their 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.
14.3 Waiver of Defenses. Upon an Event of Default by any Borrower in respect of any Obligations, and except as required in
Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Agent or any Lender may, at their 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 Agent or any 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 Agent or any 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 Agent's or any 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 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.
14.4 Exercise of Agent's and Lenders' Rights. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Agent and Lenders in their 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 Agent or any Lender may have available to them against the other Borrowers.
14.5 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 Agent or any 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 Agent or any Lender of, and no omission of Agent or any Lender to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no
impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of Agent or any 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 Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower specifically agrees that the failure of Agent
or any 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.
14.6 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 Agent or any 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. Neither Agent nor any Lender need 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 are hereby guaranteed.
All Obligations of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders 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.
14.7 Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.7, 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 Agent, 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 Agent,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall pay to Agent all or any part of such
subordinated indebtedness and any amount so paid to Agent 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 Agent and Lenders and shall be paid over to Agent 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 Agent and
Lenders 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, Agent, as such Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, is hereby authorized to do so in Borrowers' name or, in Agent's discretion, to assign such claim to, and cause a
proof of claim to be filed in the name of, Agent's nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise,
the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Agent 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 Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of Lenders,
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, Agent will pay the excess amount to the person entitled thereto.
14.8 Revival. If any payments of money or transfers of property made to Agent or any Lender by any Borrower should for any
reason subsequently be declared to be, or in Agent'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 Agent or any Lender is required to repay or restore, or in Agent'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 Agent or any 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 Agent or such Lender.
14.9 Understanding of Waivers . Each Borrower warrants and agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 14 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above
written.
