GUARANTY
The undersigned ("Guarantor"), jointly and severally if more than one,
guarantees all amounts owing to DFS from time to time by Dealer (defined on the
next page) ("Indebtedness"). Demand for payment hereunder may be made at any
time that any Indebtedness is past due, Dealer is in default under any agreement
with DFS, Dealer is subject to a dissolution, bankruptcy or debtor relief
proceeding, or any material adverse change occurs in the financial condition or
prospects of Dealer or Guarantor. This is a continuing guaranty covering all
present and future Indebtedness, including Indebtedness revived after being
satisfied. This guaranty is unconditional and irrevocable. DFS may change any
terms of Indebtedness, impair or release any security, release, compound or
substitute any guarantors, or take any other action that may increase
Guarantor's risk or expose it to greater liability, in each case without
discharging Guarantor's obligations. DFS shall not be required to proceed
against any person or security or pursue any other remedy before proceeding
hereunder. Until DFS' receipt of payment in full of all Indebtedness, Guarantor
shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement. Guarantor waives all
notices and similar actions, including notice of acceptance or creation of
Indebtedness, presentment, protest or notice of dishonor as well as all defenses
arising out of an election of remedies. Guarantor's obligations shall not be
affected by any lack of authority of Dealer to incur Indebtedness, any
invalidity of documents nor DFS' failure to disclose any information to
Guarantor. Guarantor shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by DFS in enforcing this guaranty. This guaranty shall
inure to the benefit of transferees of any Indebtedness, and shall extend to
loans made by such transferees. Guarantor may not assign any obligations
hereunder without DFS' approval. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that DFS may
obtain credit reports regarding Guarantor. Any facsimile copy or electronic
transmission or storage hereof shall be deemed an original.
BINDING ARBITRATION. Guarantor hereby consents to the binding arbitration and
other provisions set forth in Section 5 of Dealer's Financing Agreement (on the
next page). Guarantor and DFS irrevocably waive all rights to claim punitive
and/or exemplary damages. All waivers set forth herein will survive any
termination of this guaranty.
THIS CONTRACT CONTAINS BINDING ARBITRATION, JURY WAIVER AND PUNITIVE DAMAGE
WAIVER PROVISIONS.

FINANCING AGREEMENT
1. If DFS approves Dealer's application, DFS may extend credit to Dealer from
time to time to purchase inventory from vendors acceptable to DFS ("Vendors").
Dealer will repay each advance hereunder in accordance with the terms of a
Statement of Transaction sent by DFS relating to each Vendor invoice approved by
DFS for financing hereunder, which Statement of Transaction will set forth the
number of days following the invoice date (rounded to the nearest common due
date) by which payment to DFS shall be due, the applicable finance charges and
other program terms. Failure to notify DFS of any objection to a Statement of
Transaction within 7 days after it has been mailed to Dealer shall constitute
Dealer's agreement: (a) to all rates, charges and other terms thereof; (b) that
the amount shown therein is an account stated; and (c) that such Statement of
Transaction will be incorporated herein by reference and will constitute an
addendum hereto. Dealer will pay finance charges to DFS on the outstanding
principal debt which Dealer owes DFS for each item of inventory financed by DFS
at the rate(s) shown on the Statement of Transaction. The finance charges
attributable to the rate shown on the Statement of Transaction will: (a) be
computed based on a 360 day year; (b) be calculated by multiplying the Daily
Charge (as defined below) by the actual number of days in the applicable billing
period; and (c) accrue from the invoice date of the inventory identified on such
Statement of Transaction until DFS receives full payment in good funds of the
principal debt Dealer owes DFS for each such item of inventory in accordance
with DFS' payment recognition policy and DFS applies such payment to Dealer's
principal debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The "Daily
Charge" is the product of the Daily Rate (as defined below) multiplied by the
Average Daily Balance (as defined below). The "Daily Rate" is the quotient of
the annual rate shown on the Statement of Transaction divided by 360, or the
monthly rate shown on the Statement of Transaction divided by 30. The "Average
Daily Balance" is the quotient of (i) the sum of the outstanding principal debt
owed DFS on each day of a billing period for each item of inventory identified
on a Statement of Transaction, divided by (ii) the actual number of days in such
billing period. The annual percentage rate of the finance charges relating to
any item of inventory financed by DFS will be calculated from the invoice date
of such inventory, regardless of any period during which any finance charge
subsidy shall be paid or payable by any third party. If DFS does not receive by
the 25th day of any month, payment of all charges accrued by Dealer with DFS
during the immediately preceding month, Dealer will, to the extent allowed by
law, pay DFS a late fee equal to the greater of $5 or 5% of the amount of such
charges (payment of the late fee does not waive the default caused by the late
payment). In no event shall Dealer be obligated to pay nor shall DFS be deemed
to have contracted for or charged any amount in excess of the maximum amount of
interest permitted by applicable law. DFS may apply payments to reduce interest
first and then principal, or against missing, stolen, damaged, used or leased
inventory first, and then to other inventory. Any third party discount, rebate,
bonus or credit granted to Dealer for any inventory will not reduce the debt
Dealer owes DFS until DFS receives payment therefor in cash. Dealer will: (a)
pay, without offset, DFS even if any inventory is defective or fails to conform
to any warranties extended by any third party; and (b) not assert against DFS
any claim or defense Dealer has against any third party. In no event shall DFS
be obligated to advance to or for the benefit of Dealer any amount in excess of
the lesser of $250,000 or the maximum amount of Dealer's credit facility with
DFS.
2. As security for all Dealer's current and future obligations to DFS, whether
under this Agreement or any other current or future agreement, Dealer grants DFS
a security interest in all of Dealer's inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts,
contract rights, chattel paper, security agreements, instruments, deposit
accounts, reserves, documents, and general intangibles; all attachments,
accessories, accessions, exchanges, substitutions and replacements thereto; all
whether now owned or hereafter acquired; and all proceeds of any of the above
(collectively, the "Collateral"). Dealer will sign all papers, pay all fees
necessary to effect and perfect such security interest, and advise DFS of all
Collateral locations, upon request. Dealer will keep the Collateral insured for
such amounts and upon such terms as DFS shall request. Dealer promises that
Dealer will sell, transfer, or lease the Collateral only in the ordinary course
of its business, that all information provided or to be provided by Dealer is
and will be true and current and that Dealer has no other financing agreements
with DFS.
3. Dealer will be in default under this Agreement if Dealer fails to perform its
obligations hereunder or fails to pay any portion of Dealer's debts to DFS when
due and payable under this or any other agreement between DFS and Dealer, or in
the event DFS shall otherwise reasonably feel insecure. In the event of a
default, DFS may declare all or any part of the debt or any other amount Dealer
owes DFS immediately due and payable and/or immediately cease extending any
additional credit to Dealer. Upon default, Dealer will immediately deliver the
Collateral to DFS.
4. Any private sale of Collateral by DFS in which 10 bids have been requested
and/or where the purchase of any Collateral is made by a Vendor will be
considered a commercially reasonable disposition under the Uniform Commercial
Code. Dealer further agrees that 7 or more days prior written notice will be
commercially reasonable notice of any public or private sale (including any sale
to a Vendor). Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon default
by the other party, or upon prior written notice. Dealer and DFS irrevocably
waive all rights to claim punitive and/or exemplary damages. All waivers set
forth within this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. This Agreement can only
be amended, and its terms can only be waived, in writing. Unless otherwise
permitted, all programs will be adjusted pursuant to DFS' standard policies and
procedures. Dealer agrees to pay all of DFS' reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by DFS in enforcing DFS' rights hereunder. Any facsimile copy
or electronic transmission or storage hereof or of any Statement of Transaction
shall be deemed an original. DFS may provide to any third party any information
on Dealer that DFS may from time to time possess. DFS may obtain from any Vendor
any information on Dealer that such Vendor may from time to time possess.
5. BINDING ARBITRATION. Any and all controversies or claims of any nature
whatsoever arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof,
shall be settled by arbitration administered by either the American Arbitration
Association or JAMS/Endispute, Inc. (as determined by the initial filing party),
under its rules as in effect from time to time. The parties agree that all
arbitrator(s) selected will be attorneys with at least five (5) years commercial
law experience. The laws of the State of California will govern the
interpretation of this Agreement; provided, however that the Federal Arbitration
Act, to the extent inconsistent, will supersede the laws of such state and
govern all arbitration(s) and confirmation proceedings hereunder. Any award or
order rendered by the arbitrator(s) or director of arbitration pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement may be entered as a judgment or order in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Each party hereby consents to a documentary hearing in
any such arbitration. THE ARBITRATORS WILL NOT BE EMPOWERED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR
EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. Any arbitration proceeding must be instituted within two (2)
years after the date the incident giving rise thereto occurred. Nothing herein
shall prevent either party's use of bankruptcy, receivership, injunction,
replevin, repossession, foreclosure, sequestration or any other prejudgment
action or remedy relating to the Collateral; nor will use of any of the
foregoing actions waive any party's right to compel arbitration of any dispute.
IF THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO BE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. DEALER AND DFS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
THIS CONTRACT CONTAINS BINDING ARBITRATION, JURY WAIVER AND PUNITIVE
DAMAGE WAIVER PROVISIONS.
