accordance the terms hereof.
2.1.1 Revolving Facility.
(a) Advances. Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Revolving Advances to Borrower
in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Line
or the Borrowing Base minus in each case the face amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit). For
purposes of this Agreement, "Borrowing Base" shall mean an amount equal to
eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid

Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no

6
10
Business Day that the Revolving Advance is to be made. Each such notification
shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form
of Exhibit B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Revolving Advances under this
Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer, or
without instructions if in Bank's discretion such Revolving Advances are
necessary to meet Revolving Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid.
Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who
Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall
indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a
result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Revolving Advances made
under this Section 2.1.1 to Borrower's deposit account.
(c) Maturity. The Revolving Facility shall terminate
on the Maturity Date, at which time all Revolving Advances under this Section
2.1.1 shall be immediately due and payable.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued letters of credit (each a
"Letter of Credit," collectively, the "Letters of Credit") for the account of
Borrower in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the
Revolving Committed Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus in each case the sum
of the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances and the face
amount of outstanding Letters of Credit; provided that the face amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit) shall not in any case exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).
Each such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than the Revolving
Maturity Date. All such Letters of Credit shall be, in form and substance,
acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Bank's form of application and letter of credit agreement. All
amounts actually paid by Bank in respect of a letter of credit shall, when paid,
constitute a Revolving Advance under this Agreement.
(b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately
reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all
circumstances whatsoever. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank
harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with any
Letters of Credit.
(c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of
Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for
payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as
an advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable
charges) in United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in
San Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer
to the country of which it is the currency.
(d) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable
in a currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve
under the Committed Line for Letters of Credit against fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of
such Letter of Credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by Bank from
time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability
of funds under the Committed Line shall be reduced by the amount of such reserve
for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
7
11
2.1.3 Equipment Advances.
(a) At any time from the date hereof through May 26,
1999 (the "Equipment Availability Date"), Borrower may from time to time request
advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and, collectively the "Equipment
Advances") from Bank in an aggregate principal amount of up to One Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000). The Equipment Advances shall be used to
purchase Equipment approved from time to time by Bank and shall not exceed one
hundred percent (100%) of the cost of such Equipment, excluding installation
expense, freight discounts, warranty charges and taxes. Up to thirty percent
(30%) of the Equipment Advances may be used for software and leasehold
improvements or other soft costs.
(b) Interest shall accrue from the date of each
Equipment Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable
monthly for each month through the month in which the Equipment Availability
Date falls. The Equipment Advance or Equipment Advances that are outstanding on
the Equipment Availability Date will be payable in thirty-six (36) equal monthly
installments of principal plus accrued interest, beginning on the twenty sixth
(26th) day of the month following the Equipment Availability Date, and

Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by
facsimile transmission received no later than 3:00 p.m. California time one (1)

notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B. The notice shall be
signed by a Responsible Officer and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment to be financed.
2.1.4 Non-Formula Advances. Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Advances ("Non-Formula
Advances") to Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Non-Formula
Line. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed
pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to
the Maturity Date.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount
of Obligations owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this
Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Revolving Committed Line or (ii)
the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be deemed an Advance under the Non Formula
Line. If the amount of the aggregate Obligations owed pursuant to Section 2.1.1
and Section 2.1.4 exceeds the sum of (A) the lesser of (i) the Revolving
Committed Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base plus (B) the amount of the Non-Formula
Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such
excess.

Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all
Periodic Payments against Borrower's Account No.___ , or any of Borrower's other
deposit accounts, or against the Committed Line, in which case those amounts
shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the
Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed
from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest
chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of
payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire
transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon California time shall be
deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the
immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan
Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue
and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. A Facility Fee equal to Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000), which fee shall be due on the Closing Date and shall be fully
earned and nonrefundable;
(b) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Bank's
customary fees and out-of-pocket expenses for Bank's audits of Borrower's
Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial analysis and
examination of Borrower performed from time to time by Bank or its agents;
(c) Bank Expenses. Upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses
incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, and, after the date hereof, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.6 Additional Costs. In case any change in any law, regulation,
treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any
court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or
the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case
after the date of this Agreement:
(a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of
principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or
otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes
on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any
political subdivision thereof);
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit
insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held
by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, Bank; or
(c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to
its performance under this Agreement,
9
13
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce
the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to
any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank
the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense
as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon
presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank's
calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed
true and correct absent manifest error.
2.7 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing
Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for a
term ending on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have
the right to terminate its obligation to make Advances under this Agreement
immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination, Bank's Lien on the Collateral
shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.
3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS

Bank to make the initial Advance is subject to the condition precedent that Bank

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to
Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and
all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of
its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the
Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security
interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid,
first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, Borrower
is not required to register its copyrights or file any documents with the United
States Copyright Office to perfect Bank's security interest in any part of the
Collateral.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Borrower shall
from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all
Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other 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 Loan Documents.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers,
employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from
time to time during Borrower's usual business hours, to inspect Borrower's Books
and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in
order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower and each
Subsidiary is a corporation duly existing and in good standing under the laws of
its state of incorporation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and is
in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.
5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been duly
authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will
they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which
Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default
under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which
default could have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 No Prior Encumbrances. Borrower has good and indefeasible
title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
5.4 Bona Fide Eligible Accounts. The Eligible Accounts are bona
fide existing obligations. The property giving rise to such Eligible Accounts

any account debtor that is included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an
Eligible Account.
5.5 Merchantable Inventory. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects.

actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before
any court or administrative agency in which an adverse decision could have a
Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on Borrower's interest or
Bank's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower does not have knowledge of
any such pending or threatened actions or proceedings.
5.8 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All
consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that
have been delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects

has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank.

(including trade debts) as they mature.
5.10 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower and each Subsidiary has met
the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit

to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's incurring
any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged
principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending

Subsidiary's properties or assets has ever been used by Borrower or any
Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous owners or
operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or
transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance
with applicable law; to the best of Borrower's knowledge, none of Borrower's
properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner
pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or
hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any
environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental
protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal
property owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the
Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state or other
governmental agency concerning any action or omission by Borrower or any
Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise disposing of hazardous waste

Borrower covenants and agrees that, until payment in full of all
outstanding Obligations, and for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make
an Advance hereunder, Borrower shall do all of the following:
6.1 Good Standing. Borrower shall maintain its and each of its
Subsidiaries' corporate existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of
incorporation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Borrower shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to

business, in force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect
to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower shall comply, and shall
cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all statutes, laws, ordinances and
government rules and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a
material adverse effect on the Collateral or the priority of Bank's Lien on the
Collateral.
6.3 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Borrower shall
deliver to Bank: (a) as soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30)
days after the end of each month, a company prepared consolidated balance sheet

event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of Borrower's fiscal

plans or other financial information as Bank may reasonably request from time to
time.
Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month in which any
amount is outstanding under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2 or 2.1.4 (or as a condition to
requesting any such amount at any time that Bank does not then have a current
Borrowing Base Certificate), Borrower shall deliver to Bank a Borrowing Base
Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in substantially the form of Exhibit
C hereto, together with aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts
payable.
Borrower shall deliver to Bank with the monthly financial statements a
Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in substantially the form
of Exhibit D hereto.

more often than every six (6) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.
6.4 Inventory; Returns. Borrower shall keep all Inventory in good
and marketable condition, free from all material defects. Returns and
allowances, if any, as between Borrower and its account debtors shall be on the
same basis and in accordance with the usual customary practices of Borrower, as

execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to
the payment or deposit thereof; and Borrower will make, and will cause each
Subsidiary to make, timely payment or deposit of all material tax payments and
withholding taxes required of it by applicable laws, including, but not limited
to, those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local,
state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof
satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower or a Subsidiary has made such
payments or deposits; provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary need not make any
payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP)
by Borrower.
6.6 Insurance.
(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral
insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all
other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by
other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where Borrower's
business is conducted on the date hereof. Borrower shall also maintain insurance
relating to Borrower's ownership and use of the Collateral in amounts and of a
type that are customary to businesses similar to Borrower's.
(b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form,
with such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All
such policies of property insurance shall contain a lender's loss payable
endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss
payee thereof and all liability insurance policies shall show the Bank as an
additional insured, and shall specify that the insurer must give at least twenty
(20) days notice to Bank before canceling its policy for any reason. Upon Bank's
request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of such policies of
insurance and evidence of the payments of all premiums therefor. Unless an Event
of Default is continuing, Borrower may at its option, use the proceeds of
casualty insurance to repair or replace lost or damaged property. Subject to the
preceding sentence, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at the
option of Bank, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations.
6.7 Principal Depository. Borrower shall maintain its principal
depository and operating accounts with Bank.

last day of each calendar month, Liquidity of not less than 1.50 to 1.00.

equivalents divided by (ii) the outstanding aggregate amount of Equipment
Advances. After Borrower has maintained a Debt Service Coverage of not less than
1.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the requirement in the
immediately preceding sentence shall expire, and Borrower thereafter shall
maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a Debt Service Coverage of
at least 1.50 to 1.00.
6.10 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time
Borrower shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such
further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of
this Agreement.

one or more Subsidiaries may merge with Borrower or another Subsidiary as long
as Borrower is the surviving entity.

Subordinated Debt, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any such payment,
except in compliance with the terms of such Subordinated Debt, or amend any

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse
effect on the Collateral or the priority of Bank's Lien on the Collateral, or
permit any of its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing.

default cannot by its nature be cured within the twenty (20) day period or
cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such twenty (20) day
period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then
Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case
exceed forty-five (45) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such
reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be
deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Advances will be required to be
made during such cure period);
8.3 Material Adverse Change. If there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's business or financial condition, or if there is a material
impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations or a
material impairment of the value or priority of Bank's security interests in the

been removed, discharged or rescinded within twenty (20) days, or if Borrower is
enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to
conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of

that no Advances will be required to be made during such cure period);
8.5 Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an
Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding

Insolvency Proceeding);
8.6 Other Agreements. If there is a default in any agreement to
which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by
such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the

Dollars ($100,000) or that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of
its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of
which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for
the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank
reasonably considers advisable;
(d) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such
payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the
Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as
Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to
its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
With respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same,
without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided
herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(e) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the
Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or
(ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower held by Bank;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided
for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right,
solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's
benefit;
(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private
sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank
determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations
in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
17
21
(h) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
and
(i) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as
Borrower's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of
Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts;
(b) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security
that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or
▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors,
schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to
account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions
with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust
disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for
amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; provided Bank may
exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and
every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed
and Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time from the date of this
Agreement, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank's security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall
collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as
Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original
form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or
furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the
following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such
reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank
from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any
action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid
or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due
and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove
provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank
shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future
or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies
with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable
or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c)
any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank
shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank
and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

Endorsements: Loss payable clause to Bank with stipulation
that coverage will not be cancelled or
diminished without a minimum of twenty (20)
days' prior written notice to Bank.
INSURANCE COMPANY. Grantor may obtain insurance from any insurance
company Grantor may choose that is reasonably acceptable to Bank. Grantor
understands that credit may not be denied solely because insurance was not
purchased through Bank.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE. Grantor agrees to deliver to Bank, on or
before closing, evidence of the required insurance as provided above, with an
effective date of May 27, 1998, or earlier. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that
if Grantor fails to provide any required insurance or fails to continue such
insurance in force, Bank may do so at Grantor's expense as provided in the Loan
and Security Agreement. The cost of such insurance, at the option of Bank, shall
be payable on demand or shall be added to the indebtedness as provided in the
security document. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF BANK SO PURCHASES ANY SUCH
INSURANCE, THE INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE
TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN; HOWEVER, GRANTOR'S EQUITY IN
THE COLLATERAL MAY NOT BE INSURED. IN ADDITION, THE INSURANCE MAY NOT PROVIDE
ANY PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INDEMNIFICATION AND MAY NOT MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAWS.
AUTHORIZATION. For purposes of insurance coverage on the Collateral,
Grantor authorizes Bank to provide to any person (including any insurance agent
or company) all information Bank deems appropriate, whether regarding the
Collateral, the loan or other financial accommodations, or both.
GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO
PROVIDE INSURANCE AND AGREES TO ITS TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT IS DATED MAY 27, 1998.
