of this Agreement as hereinafter provided

c/o Prudential Capital Group

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, McGrath RentCorp, a California corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees with you as follows:

1. AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF NOTES

1A. Authorization of Issue of Series A Notes.

The Company has authorized the issue and sale of its Series A Senior Notes (the “Series A Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000, to be dated the date hereof, to mature June 2, 2011, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable at the rate of 5.08% per annum and on any overdue payment of principal, interest or Yield-Maintenance Amount at the rate specified in the Series A Notes, and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto.

The terms “Series A Note” and “Series A Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Series A Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Series A Note pursuant to any such provision. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in paragraph 10; references to a paragraph are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the paragraphs of this Agreement and references to an “Exhibit” or “Schedule” are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the exhibits or schedules attached to this Agreement.

1B. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes.

The Company will authorize the issue of additional senior promissory notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000, to be dated the date of issue

thereof, to mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than seven years, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto.

The terms “Shelf Note” and “Shelf Notes” as used herein shall include each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.

2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES

2A. Purchase and Sale of Series A Notes.

The Company hereby agrees to sell to each Series A Purchaser and, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Series A Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company the principal amount of Series A Notes set forth opposite such Series A Purchaser’s name on the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto (the “Purchaser Schedule”) at 100% of such principal amount. On June 2, 2004 (herein called the “Series A Closing Day”), the Company will deliver to each Series A Purchaser at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, Three Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California, one or more Series A Notes registered in its or its nominee’s name (as specified in the Purchaser Schedule), evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes to be purchased by such Series A Purchaser and in the denomination or denominations specified with respect to such Series A Purchaser in the Purchaser Schedule, against payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds as set forth in the Series A Notes Funding Instruction Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B.

2B. Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.

2B(1). Facility.

Subject to paragraph 2B(2), PIM is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by PIM and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of PIM to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility.” At any time, (i) $20,000,000, minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of

Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Shelf Notes which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PIM TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PIM NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PIM OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.

2B(2). Issuance Period.

Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if any such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after PIM shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to PIM, written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period.”

2B(3). Request for Purchase.

The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to PIM by facsimile or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than ten years from the date of issuance), and principal prepayment dates and amounts (which shall result in an average life of no more than seven years) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than ten days and not more than twenty-five days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by PIM.

2B(4). Rate Quotes.

Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given PIM a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2B(3), PIM may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to an Authorized Officer of the Company by telephone interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities and principal prepayment schedules of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each such quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which PIM or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

2B(5). Acceptance.

Within two minutes after PIM shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), or such shorter period as PIM may specify to the Company (such period herein called the “Acceptance Window”), the Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying PIM by telephone or facsimile within the Acceptance Window (but not earlier than 9:30 a.m. or later than 1:30 p.m. (or such later time as PIM may agree), New York City local time) that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Shelf Note”) as to which such acceptance (herein called an “Acceptance”) relates. The day the Company notifies PIM of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Shelf Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Shelf Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which PIM does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraphs 2B(2) and 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to PIM or a Prudential Affiliate, and PIM agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, PIM and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Shelf Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to PIM within two Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Shelf Notes, PIM may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Shelf Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.

2B(6). Market Disruption.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if PIM shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) and thereafter, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to PIM in accordance with paragraph 2B(5), the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives

shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies PIM of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and PIM promptly shall notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

2B(7). Facility Closings.

Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Shelf Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Prudential Capital Group, Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2700, San Francisco, California 94111 (or such other address as PIM may specify in writing), the Accepted Shelf Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Shelf Notes to be purchased on such Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the account(s) specified in the Request for Purchase of such Shelf Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Shelf Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify PIM (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to PIM (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee, if applicable, in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(ii), or (ii) such closing is to be canceled and the Company will pay the Cancellation Fee as provided in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, PIM (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled and the Company is obligated to pay the Cancellation Fee as provided in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Shelf Notes on not more than one (1) occasion, unless PIM shall have otherwise consented in writing.

2B(8). Fees.

2B(8)(i). Draw Fees.

The Company will pay to or as directed by PIM in immediately available funds a fee (herein called a “Draw Fee”) on or before each Closing Day (including the Series A Closing Day) in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold on such Closing Day.

2B(8)(ii). Delayed Delivery Fee.

If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Shelf Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, the Company will pay to or as directed by PIM on (x) the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale or (y) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, a fee (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows:

(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA

where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Shelf Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by PIM on the date PIM receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Shelf Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by PIM each time such closing is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Shelf Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Shelf Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Shelf Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Shelf Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7).

2B(8)(iii). Cancellation Fee.

If the Company at any time notifies PIM in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Shelf Note, or if PIM notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Shelf Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Shelf Note is

not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay the Purchasers in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) calculated as follows:

PI X PA

where “PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by PIM) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by PIM) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Shelf Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(ii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by such publicly available source of such market data as is then customarily used by PIM. Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

3. CONDITIONS OF CLOSING.

The obligation of any Purchaser to purchase and pay for any Notes is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the applicable Closing Day, of the following conditions:

3A. Conditions to Series A Closing.

8B. Financial Statements.

The Company has furnished each Purchaser of the Series A Notes and any Accepted Shelf Notes with the following financial statements: (i) consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31st in each of the three fiscal years of the Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is made or repeated to such Purchaser (other than fiscal years completed within 90 days prior to such date for which audited financial statements have not been released) and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such year, all reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP (in the case such financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001) or by Grant Thornton LLP (in the case of all such financial statements for each fiscal year ended after December 31, 2001) and (ii) consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly periods completed within 45 days prior to such date for which financial statements have not been released) and the comparable quarterly period in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly periods, prepared by the Company.

The Company has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its income tax payable with respect to any year that could, with reasonable likelihood, have a Material Adverse Effect.

8G. Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters.

None of the Credit Parties or Active Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any restriction which materially and adversely affects its business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, nor the offering, issuance and

sale of the Notes, nor the fulfillment of, nor the compliance with, the terms and provisions hereof and of the Notes will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Credit Party or Subsidiary pursuant to the charter or by-laws (or comparable governing documents) of any such Person, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with equityholders of such Persons), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which such Person is subject. None of the Credit Parties or any Active Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Funded Debt of such Person, any agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Funded Debt of such Person of the type to be evidenced by the Notes or created by the Multiparty Guaranty except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule 8G attached hereto (as such Schedule 8G may have been modified from time to time by written supplements thereto delivered by the Company to PIM).

Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect.

8J. ERISA.

No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of ERISA and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer

Plan). No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been or is expected by the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which is or would be materially adverse to the business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes will be exempt from or will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty could be imposed under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975 of the Code. The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of the representation of each Purchaser in paragraph 9B as to the source of funds to be used by it to purchase any Notes.

8K. Governmental Consent.

Neither the nature of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any relationship between any of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or the use of the proceeds thereof is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or any action by or notice to or filing with any court or administrative or governmental body (other than routine filings after the Closing Day for any Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky authorities) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of any other Transaction Document.

The Company and its Subsidiaries and all of their respective properties and facilities have complied at all times and in all respects with all foreign, federal, state, local and regional statutes, laws, ordinances and judicial or administrative orders, judgments, rulings and regulations, including all Environmental Laws and the Fair Labor Standards Act except, in any such case, where failure to comply could not, with reasonable likelihood, have a Material Adverse Effect.

8N. Disclosure.

Neither this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to PIM or any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection herewith or in connection with the issuance of the Notes contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading. There is no fact peculiar to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary that has or in the future may (so far as the Company can now foresee) have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Credit Party specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each installment of principal payable on each installment date upon each new Note issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new Note as the installment of principal payable on such date on the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Note. No reference need be made in any such new Note to any installment or installments of principal previously due and paid upon the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder’s unsecured indemnity agreement, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

11I. Notices.

All written communications provided for hereunder (other than communications provided for under paragraph 2) shall be sent by first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and (i) if to any Purchaser, addressed as specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto (in the case of the Series A Notes) or the Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance (in the case of any Shelf Notes) or at such other address as any such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, addressed to it at such address as it shall have specified in writing to the Company or, if any such holder shall not have so specified an address, then addressed to such holder in care of the last holder of such Note which shall have so specified an address to the Company and (iii) if to the Company, addressed to it at 5700 Las Positas Road, Livermore, California 94551, Fax No. 925 ###-###-####, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

If the date for any payment is extended to the next succeeding Business Day by reason of the preceding sentence, the period of such extension shall not be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Business Day.

11K. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, it shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, as to such jurisdiction to enhance its enforceability in order to achieve the intent of the parties to this Agreement; provided, if no feasible construction would save the provision, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, its invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement; rather, this Agreement shall be construed as to such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The prohibition or unenforceability of any provision in any such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement as applied to certain circumstances shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision as applied to other circumstances or any other provisions of this Agreement.

11L. Descriptive Headings.

The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

11M. Satisfaction Requirement.

11O. Severalty of Obligations.

The sales of Notes to the Purchasers are to be several sales, and the obligations of PIM and the Purchasers under this Agreement are several obligations. No failure by PIM or any Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither PIM nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other such Person hereunder.

11P. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
