The Revolving Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1 and other amounts due under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.

2.1.1 Letters of Credit.

(a) At Borrower's written request, Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit for Borrower's account. Each Bank severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit, in accordance with such Bank's Percentage Share.

(b) Issuing Bank shall issue the Letter of Credit upon receipt of a Borrower's written request and Issuing Bank's standard form of application, stating (a) the date such Borrower wishes to receive the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the requested amount of such Letter of Credit; (c) the aggregate amount of all Advances and Letters of Credit then outstanding; (d) if appropriate, the conditions requested by Borrower under which the Letter of Credit may be drawn upon; and
(e) any other information Issuing Bank might need to issue the Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify all of the Banks upon receipt of a request for a Letter of Credit.

(c) The maximum aggregate obligation at any one time for undrawn and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit shall be Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Issuing Bank's standard form of application and security agreement for letters of credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (a) expire no later than the Maturity Date, and (b) be otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Issuing Bank, provided that a Letter of Credit may expire after the Maturity Date for so long as Borrower's reimbursement obligation in connection therewith is secured by cash on terms acceptable to Banks. Upon issuing a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall immediately notify the other Bank of such issuance and shall, on a continuing basis, keep the other Bank informed of the drawn and undrawn but unreimbursed amount of each Letter of Credit for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding. With respect to standby Letters of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee not to exceed one and one-half percent (11/2%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the time Borrower requests the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall retain a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit, and shall share the balance of such issuance fee equally with the other Bank. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank a nonrefundable issuance fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the time Borrower requests the Letter of Credit and a negotiation fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of the

The Issuing Bank shall retain an issuance fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) and a negotiation fee of One Hundred Dollar ($100), and shall share the balance of such issuing fee and negotiation fee equally with the other Bank. On the day on which Issuing Bank honors any drawing made by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank the full amount of the drawing so honored, or at Borrower's option, shall treat the amount of such drawing as an Advance under Section 2.1. The obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable.

(d) Borrower may request that Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the Equivalent Amount thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars, Banks shall create a reserve under the Committed Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by Banks from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

2.1.2 Foreign Exchange Contract; Foreign Exchange Settlements.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may utilize up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for Exchange Contracts, pursuant to which a Bank shall sell to or purchase from Borrower foreign currency on a spot or future basis. All Exchange Contracts must provide for delivery of settlement on or before the Maturity Date. The limit available at any time shall be reduced by the following amounts (the "Foreign Exchange Reserve") on each day (the "Determination Date"): (i) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or settlement allowed more than two business days from the Determination Date, 10% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts; plus (ii) on all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or settlement allowed within two business days after the Determination Date, 100% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts. In lieu of the Foreign Exchange Reserve for 100% of the gross amount of any Exchange Contract, Borrower may request that Bank treat such amount as an Advance under the Committed Line.

(b) Bank may, in its discretion, terminate the Exchange Contracts at any time (a) that an Event of Default occurs or (b) that there is no sufficient availability under the Committed Line and Borrower does not have available funds in its bank account to satisfy the Foreign Exchange Reserve. If Bank terminates the Exchange Contracts, and without limitation of any applicable indemnities, Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank for any and all fees, costs and expenses relating thereto or arising in connection therewith.

(c) Borrower shall not permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected and settlement allowed in any two business day period to be more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) nor shall Borrower permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts to which Borrower is a party, outstanding at any one time, to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

(d) Borrower shall execute all standard form applications and agreements of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts.

2.2 Overadvances. If. at any time or for any reason, the sum of (i) Receivables Advances owed by Borrower to Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement plus (ii) the face

amount of Letters of Credit issued under Section 2.1.1 (including undrawn and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) plus (iii) the reserve, if any, taken under Section 2.1.1(d) plus (iv) the Foreign Exchange Reserve is greater than the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Committed. Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Servicing Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, for payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage Shares. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of the Inventory Advances owed by Borrower to Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement is greater than the least of (i) Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) or (ii) the Inventory Borrowing Base or (iii) Thirty Percent (30%) of the outstanding Advances, Borrower shall immediately pay to Servicing Agent in cash the amount of such excess, for payment to the Banks according to their respective Percentage Shares.

2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in
Section 23(b), any Advances of each Bank shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance, at the rates specified in Sections 2.1(d), and 21(e), respectively.

(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

(c) Payments. Accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears upon the earlier of (i) with respect to any LIBOR Advance, the end of the Interest Period or (ii) any payment of principal or (iii) on the first day of each calendar month. Servicing Agent shall, at the option of Servicing Agent, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against Borrower's deposit account held at SVB or against the Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by a Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by a Bank after noon California time shall be deemed to have been received by such Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to a Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Banks the following:

(a) Facility Fee. An annual Facility Fee equal to one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the Committed Line plus one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Inventory Line, pro-rated.

2.6 Additional Costs. In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the written interpretation or application thereof by any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(a) subjects any Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof);

(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, any Bank; or

(c) imposes upon any Bank any other material condition with respect to its performance under this Agreement,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, reduce the income receivable by such Bank or impose any expense upon such Bank with respect to any loans, such Bank shall notify Borrower thereof in writing. Borrower shall pay to such Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by such Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth such Bank's calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any such amount attributable to any period prior to 180 days prior to the date of such certificate.

2.7 Conversion/Continuation of Advances.

(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that Prime Rate Advances be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances or that any existing LIBOR Rate Advances continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Advances that will constitute LIBOR Rate Advances (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances. Each written request for a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Advance or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be substantially in the form of a LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit C-2, which shall be duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Servicing Agent's receipt of such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances or such LIBOR Rate Advances shall continue, as the case may be provided that:

(i) no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;

(ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of the Agreement;

(iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Banks have established from time to time for Borrower's requests for LIBOR Rate Advances;

(iv) the amount of a Prime Rate Advance shall be $25,000 or more, and the amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000; and

(v) Servicing Agent shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate is available to Banks as of the date of the request for such LIBOR Rate Advance.

Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Advances to LIBOR Rate Advances or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Advances shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Banks shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Banks had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Advances.

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Advances upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Banks have received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate Advance at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall, at Banks' option, convert to Prime Rate Advances in the event that an Event of Default shall exist. Borrower shall pay to Banks, upon demand by Banks (or Servicing Agent may, at its option, charge Borrower's deposit account) any amounts required to compensate Banks for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing.

2.8 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Advances.

(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Banks receive all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance Borrower shall on demand by Servicing Agent, pay Servicing Agent the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period or term exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Banks by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period or term at the interest rate determined by Servicing Agent in its reasonable discretion. Servicing Agent's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon demand by a Bank, from time to time such amounts as such Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Bank that such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of any Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of such Bank (including any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"); or

(iii) imposes any other material condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Such Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Such Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 2.8. Determinations and allocations by a Bank for purposes of this Section 2.8 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Advances or of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Borrower shall pay to a Bank, upon the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any reasonable loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Rate Advance on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.

(d) If a Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction. A statement of such Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If at any time a Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods or any other period are not available to such Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Advance, then such Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice such Bank's obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Advances shall terminate, unless Banks and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances. If it shall become unlawful for a Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by such Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in full with accrued

interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(a)).

2.9 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banks shall have the right to terminate any obligation to make Advances and Inventory Advances under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) the Maturity Date. On the date of termination, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable in cash or by wire transfer.

The making of each Advance and each Inventory Advance shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Advance or Inventory Advance as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2(b).

(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; and

(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;

(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;

9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable.

9.3 Bank Expenses.

No exercise by a Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by a Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by a Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by a Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of a Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

9.5 Demand; Protest. Subject to any requirement under other sections of this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by a Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

(b) A Bank may sell, negotiate or grant participations to other financial institutions in all or part of the obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the Loan Documents, without notice to or the approval of Borrower; provided that any such sale, negotiation or participation shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state securities laws and the other requirements of this Section 13.1. Notwithstanding the sale, negotiation or grant of participations, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) The grant of a participation interest shall be on such terms as a Bank determines are appropriate, provided only that (1) the holder of such a participation interest shall not have any of the rights of such Bank under this Agreement except, if the participation agreement so provides, rights to demand the payment of costs of the type described in
Section 2.6, provided that the aggregate amount that the Borrower shall be required to pay under Section 2.6 with respect to any ratable share of the Committed Line or any Advance (including amounts paid to participants) shall

not exceed the amount that Borrower would have had to pay if no participation agreements had been entered into, and (2) the consent of the holder of such a participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Agreement other than those which (i) increase the amount of the Committed Line, (ii) extend the term of this Agreement, (iii) decrease the rate of interest or the amount of any fee or any other amount payable to a Bank under this Agreement, (iv) reduce the principal amount payable under this Agreement, or (v) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or any other amount payable under this Agreement.

(d) A Bank may assign, from time to time, all or any portion of the Committed Line to an Affiliate of such Bank or to The Federal Reserve Bank or, subject to the prior written approval of Borrower (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), to any other financial institution; provided, that (i) the amount of the Committed Line being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $250,000 and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Borrower an assignment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to each. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective date specified in such assignment agreement (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than pursuant to this
Section 13.1(d)), and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or the remaining portion of Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, Bank shall cease to be a party hereto. In the event of an assignment hereunder, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect the mechanical changes which are necessary to document such assignment. Each party shall bear its own expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs) with respect to such an amendment.

13.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by a Bank as a result of, or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to, transactions between such Bank and Borrower, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

13.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

13.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

13.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (excluding Obligations under Section 2.6 and 13.2 to the extent they remain inchoate at the time the outstanding payment Obligations are paid in full) remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify a Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against such Bank have run.

13.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information each Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Advances, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may deem appropriate in the exercise of its remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination, copying or making extracts of, or discussions of: any document, information or other matter (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information (provided that the terms of agreements that generate Accounts shall not be deemed to be "non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information"), or (ii) in respect to which disclosure to Bank (or designated representative) is then prohibited by (a) law, or (b) an agreement binding upon Borrower or any Subsidiary that was not entered into by Borrower or such Subsidiary for the primary purpose of concealing information from Bank.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
