2.2 Disbursement of Funds. Subject to the terms and conditions

pursuant to wire instructions provided to the Lender not later than two Business
Days prior to the Borrowing Date.

-4-
2.4 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of
--------
the unpaid principal amount of each Loan outstanding from time to time, from the
Borrowing Date thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), at a fixed rate per annum of 12.0%.
(b) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest in respect of the Loan and any other overdue amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
lesser of (i) 15% or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest in respect of each
Loan shall be payable at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and,
after such maturity, on demand.
2.5 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that the
---------------------------------
Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) at any time (i)
that the Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts
received or receivable hereunder with respect to the Loan because of any change
since the date hereof in any applicable law or in the interpretation or
administration thereof, including the introduction of any new law, or (ii) that
the making or continuance of the Loan has been made unlawful by any law or
impossible by compliance by the Lender in good faith with any law, then, and in
any such event, the Lender shall promptly give telephonic notice (confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower. Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, if the
Borrower does not elect to prepay such Loan within 30 days after receipt of
notice thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, upon written demand
therefor (and against a certificate specifying in reasonable detail the nature
of the increased cost or reduction, the date from which it has been applied and
the method of calculating such increased cost), such additional amounts (in the
form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest) as
shall be required to compensate the Lender for such increased costs or
reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder, and (y) in the case of
clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall repay the Loan as promptly as possible
and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) If the Lender determines at any time that the introduction
or implementation of, or any change in, any law after the date hereof concerning
capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained
by the Lender based on the existence of the Lender's obligations hereunder, then
the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, within 15 Business Days of its written
demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the
Lender for the increased cost to the Lender as a result of such increase of
capital. In determining such additional amounts, the Lender will act in good
faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable. The
Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse the Lender for any costs incurred
more than 90 days prior to demand therefor by the Lender.

Date the Borrower is entitled to receive any payments under the Wham-O Contract,
whether such right accrued prior to or following the Borrowing Date (but
excluding monies payable to the Borrower under the Transition Services Agreement
entered into as of March 20, 1998, by the Borrower and Wham-O, Inc.), such
payments shall be made directly to the Lender and applied first to any
outstanding interest and then to principal.
3.3 Scheduled Repayment. The outstanding principal of the Loan
-------------------
shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date.

---------------------------

such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any present or future taxes, value-added taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or
hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (but excluding, except as provided below, any tax
imposed on or measured by the net income of the Lender pursuant to the laws of
the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein) in which the principal office or lending office of the Lender is

Lender, upon the written request of the Lender, for all value-added and other
taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of the Lender pursuant to the
laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority

respect of amounts paid to or on behalf of the Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the
full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so
that every payment of all amounts due hereunder or under the Note, after
-6-
withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than
the amount provided for herein or in the Note. The Borrower will furnish to the
Lender within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the

changes in financial position of the Borrower for the 6-month period ended on
such date, heretofore furnished to the Lender, present fairly the financial

writing to the Lender or made in public filings with the SEC shall be, true and
accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is

the circumstances under which such information was provided.
