AMENDED CONFIRMATION OF A SWAP TRANSACTION
The purpose of this letter agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions of the swap transaction traded between RABOBANK NA, ROSEVILLE (''Rabobank'') and QAD ORTEGA HILL, LLC, SANTA BARBARA (''Counterparty'') on the trade date specified below (the ''Transaction''). This letter agreement constitutes a ''Confirmation'' as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (the ''Definitions'') are incorporated into this Confirmation. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between those Definitions and Provisions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. For the purposes of the Definitions, all references to a ''Transaction'' in this Confirmation shall also be deemed to be references to a ''Swap Transaction''.

This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. In addition, you and we agree to use all reasonable efforts promptly to negotiate, execute and deliver an agreement in the form of an ISDA Master Agreement, with such modifications as you and we will in good faith agree. Upon the execution by you and us of such an agreement, this Confirmation will supplement, form a part of, and be subject to that agreement. All provisions contained in or incorporated by reference in that agreement upon its execution will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified below. Until we execute and deliver that agreement, this Confirmation, together with all other documents referring to an ISDA Master Agreement (each a ''Confirmation'') confirming transactions (each a ''Transaction'') entered into between us shall supplement, form part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law and USD as the Termination Currency) on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction between us. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for purposes of this Swap Transaction.

Rabobank's recourse in the Transaction referred to in this Confirmation shall not be limited in any way unless specifically agreed to in writing by Rabobank to the contrary.
