RECITALS Pledgor and Bank are parties to a Loan and Security Agreement dated June 25, 1998, as amended and modified from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, among other things, Pledgor established a Letter of Credit Sublimit (the "Sublimit") under the Committed Revolving Line facility (as each term is defined in the Loan Agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit. The Loan Agreement is secured by all of Borrower's personal property and assets. Bank had previously issued under the Sublimit, among other letters of credit, Letter of Credit Number: SVBSF001977 in the amount of $287,753 (the "Letter of Credit"). Pledgor has requested that Bank not renew the Committed Revolving Line and the Sublimit thereunder. Accordingly, Bank and Pledgor wish to confirm that the security interest in the cash granted under the Loan Agreement shall continue to secure the Letter of Credit in the form of a certificate of deposit number 8800059356 (the "CD"). Additionally, Bank shall release its security interest in all other assets of Borrower, other than the CD. The parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. CONTINUATION AND REAFFIMATION SECURITY INTEREST 1.1 Pledgor continues its pledge and grant to Bank of a continuing security interest in the CD, together with all renewals, proceeds, replacements, substitutions and consolidations therefore (the "Collateral"). Pledgor reaffirms and confirms that the security interest granted in the Collateral remains in effect and continues to secure the Letter of Credit, as modified herein. Bank may liquidate the Collateral and apply such funds toward any and all amounts owed to Bank under the Letter of Credit. Such liquidation shall not be deemed a set-off. 1.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Pledgor shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Letter of Credit. Pledgor authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Pledgor, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest in the Collateral. 2.
