"Section 1542. GENERAL RELEASE; EXTENT. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
(ii) With regard to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, Borrower agrees to assume the risk of any and all unknown, unanticipated or misunderstood defenses and Released Claims which are released by the provisions of this General Release in favor of Trade Bank, and Borrower hereby waives and releases all rights and benefits which it might otherwise have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code with regard to the release of such unknown, unanticipated or misunderstood defenses and Released Claims.
(c) Each person signing below on behalf of Borrower acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this General Release. Each such person fully understands that this General Release has important legal consequences and each such person realizes that they are releasing any and all Released Claims that Borrower may have as of the Release Date. Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer's advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this General Release.
(d) Borrower hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that: (i) none of the provisions of this General Release shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of Trade Bank; (ii) the provisions of this General Release shall constitute an absolute bar to any Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Released Claim barred by the provisions of this General Release shall subject Borrower to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.
5. Waiver of Certain Defaults. Borrower has failed to comply with certain financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent contained herein, Trade Bank hereby waives the Existing Default for the period ending March 31, 2008. The foregoing waiver shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement nor is it a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same provisions.

All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.
7. Reaffirmation; Certification. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default (other than the Existing Default) as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default (other than the Existing Default).
