2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
--------------------------
Manner of Borrowing Advances (revolving loans). Borrowings under the credit
facility established hereunder shall be as follows:
2.1 Advance Requests. A request for an advance (also known as a revolving
loan) shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner:
Borrower may give Capital notice of its intention to borrow, in which notice
Borrower shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed
borrowing date, no later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed borrowing date. Capital
may lend to Borrower, in Capital's sole and absolute discretion, (a) up to the
Advance Percentage (as defined on Schedule 1) of the net amount of Borrower's
Eligible Accounts (the "net amount" of Eligible Accounts means the gross amount
of said Eligible Accounts less returns and discounts based upon the shortest or
longest payment terms as Capital may elect, credits or allowances of any nature
at any time issued, owing, claimed by account debtors, granted or outstanding
based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate which must be submitted to Capital in
connection with such request), not to exceed at any time (b) the Maximum Credit
Line. Provided, further, that no such request for an advance may be made (i) at
a time when there exists an Event of Default; and (ii) unless payment is
otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any amount required to be
paid under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, as principal,
accrued interest, fees or Capital Expenses, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a
request by Borrower from Capital for an advance or revolving loan on the due
date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such principal, accrued
interest, fees, Capital Expenses or other charges and the proceeds of each such
advance or revolving loan may be disbursed by Capital by way of direct payment
of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest at the rate of interest
applicable to the Daily Balance (whether or not any Event of Default or
Over-Advance exists at the time of or would result from such advance). As an
accommodation to Borrower, Capital may permit electronic transmittal of
instructions or requests for advances, authorizations, agreements or reports to
Capital by Borrower, received from any one or more of the authorized officers of
the Borrower identified on Exhibit B hereto. In no event shall Capital be
obligated to make advances to Borrower under this Section 2 whenever the
aggregate amount of the then outstanding advances made pursuant to Section 2
exceeds or would exceed as a result of the requested advance, the Maximum Credit
Line. Unless Borrower specifically directs Capital in writing not to accept or
act upon telecopied or electronic communications from Borrower, Capital shall
have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a
result of Capital's honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions,
authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to Capital
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Capital by Borrower and
Capital shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the
authority of the person sending it. All of the advances made pursuant to this
Section 2.1 and any supplement, if any, to this Agreement shall be added to and
deemed part of the Obligations when made. If, at any time and for any reason,
the amount of advances made pursuant to Sections 2.1 and such supplement, if
any, exceed the percentage or dollar limitations set forth in Section 2.1 and in
such supplement, as applicable, or if all of Borrower's Obligations, at any time
and for any reason, exceed the Maximum Credit Line (an "Over Advance"), then
Borrower, upon Capital's election and demand, shall immediately pay to Capital,
in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.2 Disbursement. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Capital to
disburse the proceeds of each advance requested, or deemed to be requested,
pursuant to Section 2.1 above as follows: (i) the proceeds of each advance
requested under Section 2.1(i) shall be disbursed by Capital in lawful money of
the United States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the
initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement
letter from Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire
transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower and Capital from
time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrower; and
(ii) the proceeds of each advance requested under Section 2.1 (ii) shall be
disbursed by Capital by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other
Obligation.
2.3 Payments. The Borrower promises to repay all Obligations when due in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All
payments with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to Capital on the
date when due, in U.S. Dollars ($) and in immediately available funds, without
any offset or counterclaim. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments
issued or made by Borrower to Capital specifically containing payment provisions
which are in conflict with this Section 2.3 (in which event the conflicting
provisions of said notes or other instruments shall govern and control), the
Obligations shall be payable as follows:
2.3.1 Principal. Principal payable on account of advances shall be
payable by Borrower to Capital immediately upon the earliest of (i) the
receipt by Capital or Borrower of any proceeds of any of the Collateral, to
the extent of said proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
consequence of which Capital elects to accelerate the maturity and payment
of the Obligations, (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
3 hereof; provided, however, that if an Over Advance condition shall exist
at any time, Borrower shall, ON DEMAND, repay the Obligations to the extent
necessary to eliminate the Over Advance condition.
2.3.2 Interest. Interest accrued on the Advances shall be due and
payable on the earliest of (i) the first (1st) calendar day of each month
(for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last calendar
day of the preceding month; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
consequence of which Capital elects to accelerate the maturity and payment
of the Obligations; and (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 3 hereof. At its option, Capital may debit such amounts, which
amounts shall thereupon constitute Obligations hereunder and shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then provided under this Agreement.
2.3.3 Costs, Fees and Charges. Capital may collect a "late charge"
equal to five percent (5%) of any installment of interest or principal, or
of any taxes, assessments and insurance paid by Capital which is not paid
or reimbursed by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the due date thereof
to cover the extra expense involved in handling such delinquent payment.
All costs, fees charges and Capital Expenses payable pursuant to this
Agreement shall be payable by Borrower as and when incurred, to Capital. At
its option, Capital may debit such amounts, which amounts shall thereupon
constitute Obligations hereunder and shall thereafter accrue interest at
the rate then provided under this Agreement.
2.3.4 Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the
payment of money, if any, shall be payable by Borrower to Capital as and
when provided in this Agreement, if no date of payment is otherwise
specified in the Loan Documents, ON DEMAND.
2.3.5 Interest Rates. All Obligations owed by Borrower to Capital
shall bear interest, on the average Daily Balance owing, at a rate equal to
the Margin (as defined on Schedule 1) plus the Prime Rate (the "Governing
Rate"). Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation thereof, all Obligations owed by Borrower to Capital shall, at
the election of Capital, without constituting a waiver of any such Event of
Default, bear interest on the average Daily Balance owing, at the highest
rate permitted by law. All interest chargeable under this Agreement shall
be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for actual
days elapsed.
2.3.5.1 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained
in this Agreement or any other agreement or document executed in
connection herewith, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received
by Capital pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the
highest rate permissible under any applicable law. No agreements,
conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by Capital of the
right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion
of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained
in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrower of any of
the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever,
shall entitle Capital to charge or receive in any event, interest or
any charges, amounts premiums or fees deemed interest by applicable
law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to
herein collectively as "Interest") in excess of the maximum rate
allowable under applicable law and in no event shall Borrower be
obligated to pay Interest exceeding such maximum rate, and all
agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event
or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrower
to pay Interest exceeding the maximum rate allowable under applicable
law shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to
the extent only of the excess of Interest over such maximum rate. If
any Interest is charged or received in excess of the maximum rate
allowable under applicable law ("Excess"), Borrower acknowledges and
stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an
accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received,
shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the
balance, if any, returned to Borrower, it being the intent of the
parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal
relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the
Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that
has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and
Capital does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event
of any such acceleration. Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations
in the rates of interest set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and
the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, such an
unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to
Capital hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, whether at
maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned
interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. By the
execution of this Agreement, Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or
return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrower of
such Excess, and (ii) Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other
remedy, legal or equitable, against Capital, based in whole or in part
upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of
the maximum rate allowable under applicable law. For the purpose of
determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged
or received by Capital, all interest at any time contracted for,
charged or received from Borrower in connection with this Agreement
and any other agreement or document executed in connection herewith,
any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts
throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrower and Capital
shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium
rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof. The provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be
incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of
this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and
communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrower and all
figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the
extent of Obligations, be automatically recommitted by Borrower, and
by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments
or credits required by this Section.
2.3.5.2 Payment of Interest. In the event that the Prime Rate
announced is, from time to time hereafter, changed, adjustment in the
rate of interest payable by Borrower shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on
the first (1st) day of the calendar month following such change and
shall be based on the Prime Rate in effect as of the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar month. All interest payable by Borrower
shall be due and payable on the first (1st) day of each calendar month
during the term of this Agreement and Capital shall, at its option,
charge such interest and any and all Capital Expenses to Borrower's
loan account with Capital, which amounts shall thereupon constitute
Obligations hereunder and shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate
then provided under this Agreement.
2.3.6 Borrowing Base Certificate and Authorizations. Concurrent with
the execution of this Agreement by Borrower and concurrent with each
request for an advance pursuant to Section 2.1, but at least on once during
each Reporting Period (as defined on Schedule 1) during the term of this
Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Capital a fully completed Borrowing
Base Certificate certified by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief
Financial Officer of Borrower as being true and correct. Concurrent with
the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate, Borrower shall provide a
written report to Capital of all returns and all material disputes and
claims, together with sales and other reports relating to the Accounts and
Inventory as required by Capital. If Borrower fails to deliver to Capital
the Borrowing Base Certificate on the date when due, then notwithstanding
any of the provisions contained in Section 2.1 or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary, Capital shall not make any advances to Borrower
until the Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered to Capital. Capital is
hereby authorized to make the loan and the extensions of credit provided
for in this Agreement based upon telecopied or other instructions and
transaction reports received from any one of the authorized personnel of
Borrower identified on Exhibit B, or, at the discretion of Capital, if such
extensions of credit are necessary to satisfy any Obligations of Borrower
to Capital. Although Capital shall make a reasonable effort to determine
the person's identity, Capital shall not be responsible for determining the
authenticity of any such telecopied instructions and Capital may act on the
instructions of anyone it perceives to be one of the authorized personnel
identified on Exhibit B.
2.3.7 Collections. Borrower shall instruct all of its account debtors
to make payments to the Lock Box. Capital or Capital's designee may, at any
time after the occurrence of an event of default, notify customers or
account debtors of Borrower that the Accounts have been assigned to Capital
and that Capital has a security interest therein. Capital may at any time
confirm the validity and/or amount of the Accounts, collect them directly,
and charge the collection costs and expenses to Borrower's loan account,
but, unless and until Capital does so or gives Borrower other written
instructions, the collection of the Accounts shall be made in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all
payments received by Borrower in connection with the Accounts and any other
Collateral shall be held in trust for Capital as Capital's trustee. The
receipt of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment by
Capital shall be applied to conditionally reduce Borrower's Obligations,
but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such wire transfer
is of immediately available federal funds and is made to the appropriate
deposit account of Capital or unless and until such check or other item of
payment is honored when presented for payment. The receipt of any wire
transfer, check or other item of payment by Capital shall be deemed to have
been paid to Capital within the Collection Day Period (as defined on
Schedule 1) after the date Capital actually receives possession of such
wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment.
2.3.8 Monthly Statements. Capital shall render monthly statements of
the Obligations owing by Borrower to Capital, including statements of all
principal, interest, and Capital Expenses owing, and such statements shall
be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an
account stated between Borrower and Capital unless, within thirty (30) days
after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Capital, by
registered or certified mail, at Capital's address indicated in Section 13,
written objection thereto specifying the error or errors, if any, contained
in any such statement and Capital in its good faith discretion determines
such exceptions are accurate and makes an appropriate adjustment. In the
event that Borrower fails to receive such monthly statement for a
particular month, Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that it shall
likewise be obligated to notify Capital in writing no later than 45 days
from the end of each such month. If Borrower fails to so notify Capital of
same then said monthly statement shall be deemed to have been sent and
delivered to Borrower and shall be final and conclusive on Borrower. At
Capital's request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Capital from time
to time, promissory notes in form and content satisfactory to Capital to
evidence the balances owing in Borrower's Loan Account, but notwithstanding
any such request for or delivery of such notes, such statements of account
shall be prima facie evidence of the loans and, to the extent intended by
Capital to be included therein, other Obligations owing to Capital by
Borrower.
2.3.9 Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses
A. Fees. Borrower will pay to Capital those fees set forth on
Schedule 1.

with respect to any deposits or property of the Borrower in Capital's possession
or control, now or in the future, Capital shall have the right to setoff all or
any portion thereof, at any time, against any Obligations hereunder, even though

presently owned and hereafter arising or acquired Collateral, and Borrower shall
continue to immediately deliver to Capital, in kind, all collections received
respecting the Accounts.

other matter relating to, the Collateral and Borrower's financial condition.

appoints Capital (and any of Capital's officers, employees or agents designated
by Capital) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney with power:
A. Upon Borrower's failure or refusal to comply with its
undertakings contained in Section 4.5, to sign the name of
Borrower on any of the documents described in that section
or on any other similar documents which need to be executed,
recorded and/or filed in order to perfect or continue
perfected Capital's security interest in the Collateral;
B. To endorse Borrower's name on any checks, notes,
acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment

and until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed. The
Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney. Neither Capital nor its
employees, officers or agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for
any error in judgment or mistake of fact or law made in good faith except for
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Capital may file one or more financing
statements disclosing Capital's security interest without the Borrower's

Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower may, subject to the provisions hereof
and consistent herewith, sell or lease the Inventory, but only in the ordinary

partial or total satisfaction of a debt owing by Borrower, nor does it include
an exchange for less than reasonably equivalent value.

8.5 ERISA.
A. If applicable, no employee benefit plan established or
maintained by the Borrower (including any multiemployer
plan to which the Borrower contributes) which is
subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B or Title I of ERISA had
a material accumulated funding deficiency (as such term
is defined in Section 302 of ERISA) as of the last day
of the most recent fiscal year of such plan ended prior
to the date hereof, or would have had an accumulated
funding deficiency (as so defined) on such day if such
year were the first year of such plan to which Part 3
of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA applied, and no
material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, has been or is expected by the Borrower to
be, incurred with respect to any such plan by the
Borrower.
B. The Borrower is not required to contribute to or is not
contributing to a "Multiemployer Pension Plan" (as such

"withdrawal liability" (as also defined in such Act) to
any multiemployer pension plan, nor has any reportable
event referred to in section 4043(b) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA")
occurred that has resulted or could result in liability
of the Borrower; and the Borrower does not have any
reason to believe that any other event has occurred
that has resulted or could result in liability of the
Borrower as set forth above.
C. Borrower shall not withdraw from participation in,
permit the termination or partial termination of, or
permit the occurrence of any other event with respect
to any deferred compensation plan maintained for the
benefit of Borrower's employees under circumstances
that could result in liability to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, or any of its successors or
assigns, or to any entity which provides funds for such
deferred compensation plan.
D. Borrower shall not withdraw from any multi-employer
plan described in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA which
covers Borrower's employees.

this Agreement, Capital 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 arising pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, immediately due and
payable;
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 Capital;

security interest in the Collateral and without
affecting the Obligations owing by Borrower to Capital;
D. Capital or Capital's designee may notify customers,
account debtors or lessees of Borrower that the
Accounts have been assigned to Capital and that Capital
has a security interest therein, collect them directly,
and charge the collection costs and expenses to
Borrower's loan account;
E. Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any
Guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as
Capital considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower
agrees to assemble the Collateral if Capital so
requires, and to make the Collateral available to
Capital as Capital may designate. Borrower authorizes
Capital to enter the premises where the Collateral is
located, 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 the opinion of Capital appears to be prior or
superior to its security interest and to pay all
expenses incurred in connection therewith;
F. Capital is hereby granted a license or other right to
use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets,
trade names, trademarks 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 Borrower's
rights under all licenses, and all franchise agreements
shall insure to Capital's benefit;
G. Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell
(in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral;
H. 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. It is not necessary
that the Collateral be present at any such sale;
I. In connection with any such sale, the standard of
commercial reasonableness will be deemed satisfied if
Capital does the following:
(i) Location of Sale(s). The sale(s) may be conducted at
Borrower's premises, Capital's premises, the premises
of any third party located in or adjacent to any county
in which any of the collateral is located, or any other
location which Capital believes is reasonably
convenient to potential purchasers. The selection of
any such location(s) shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of Capital.
(ii) Notice of Sale. Capital shall give notice of the
disposition of the Collateral as follows:
(a) Capital shall give Borrower and each holder of a
security interest in the Collateral who has filed with
Capital a written request for notice, a notice in writing of
the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a
private sale or some other disposition other than a public
sale is to be made of the Collateral, the time on or after
which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;
(b) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed,
postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 13, at
least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for the
sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before the date on
or after which the private sale or other disposition is to
be made, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to
decline speedily in value. Notice to persons other than
Borrower claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be
sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Capital;
(c) If the sale is to be a public sale, Capital shall
also give notice of the time and place by publishing a
notice one time at least ten (10) calendar days before the
date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in
the county in which the sale is to be held;
J. Capital may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
K. Borrower shall pay all Capital Expenses incurred in
connection with Capital's enforcement and exercise of
any of its rights and remedies as herein provided,
whether or not suit is commenced by Capital;
L. Any deficiency which exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately
by Borrower. Any excess will be returned, without
interest and subject to the rights of third parties, to
Borrower by Capital.
10.2 Cumulative Rights. Capital's rights and remedies under this Agreement
and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Capital shall have all other
rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by
law, or in equity. No exercise by Capital of one right or remedy shall be deemed
an election, and no waiver by Capital of any default on Borrower's part shall be
deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Capital shall constitute a waiver,
election or acquiescence by it.
11 TAXES AND EXPENSES REGARDING THE COLLATERAL
-------------------------------------------
If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, or otherwise) due to third persons or entities, or fails to make any
deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required
under the terms of this Agreement, then Capital may, to the extent that it
determines in its sole discretion that such failure by Borrower could have a
material adverse change on Capital's interests in the Collateral, in its
discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, (i) make payment of the same or
any part thereof; (ii) set up such reserves in Borrower's loan account as
Capital deems necessary to protect Capital from the exposure created by such
failure; or (iii) both. Any amounts paid or deposited by Capital shall
constitute Capital Expenses, shall be immediately charged to Borrower's loan
account and become additional Obligations owing to Capital, shall bear interest
at the applicable rate set forth in Section 2.3.5, and shall be secured by the
Collateral. Any payments made by Capital shall not constitute: (i) an agreement
by Capital to make similar payments in the future, or (ii) a waiver by Capital
of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Capital need not inquire as to, or
contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance
or lien, and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof
shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.
12 WAIVERS
-------
12.1 Application of Payments. Borrower waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by
Capital on account of any Obligations owed by Borrower to Capital, and Borrower
agrees that Capital shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and
reapply such payments in any manner as Capital may deem advisable,
notwithstanding any entry by Capital upon its books.
12.2 Demand, Protest, Default, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein,
Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of nonpayment at maturity,

paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any
time held by Capital on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
12.3 Maintenance of Collateral. So long as Capital complies with its
obligations, if any, under Section 9-207 of the Code, Capital shall not in any
way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Inventory
and/or Equipment; (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 or loss, damage or destruction of the
Inventory and Equipment shall be borne by Borrower.
12.4 Confidential Relationship. Borrower waives the right to assert a
confidential relationship, if any, it may have with any accounting firm and/or
service bureau in connection with any information requested by Capital pursuant
to or in accordance with this Agreement, and agrees that Capital may contact
directly any such accounting firm and/or service bureau in order to obtain such
information.

16 CONCERNING REVISED ARTICLE 9 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The parties acknowledge and agree to the following provisions of this
Agreement in anticipation of the possible application, in one or more
jurisdictions to the transactions contemplated hereby, of the revised Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code in the form or substantially in the form approved
by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Law and contained in the 1999 Official Text of the Uniform
Commercial Code ("Revised Article 9").
a. Attachment. In applying the law of any jurisdiction in which
Revised Article 9 is in effect, the Collateral is substantially all
assets of the Borrower, whether or not within the scope of Revised
Article 9. The Collateral shall include, without limitation, the
following categories of assets as defined in Revised Article 9: goods
(including inventory and any accessions thereto), equipment,
instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts
(including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether
tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights
(whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing),
commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property,
general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software),
supporting obligations and any and an proceeds of any thereof,
wherever located, whether now owned and hereafter acquired. If the
Borrower shall at any time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in
effect in any particular jurisdiction, acquire a commercial tort
claim, as defined in Revised Article 9, the Borrower shall immediately
notify Capital in a writing signed by the Borrower of the brief
details thereof and grant to Capital in such writing a security
interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
satisfactory to Capital.
b. Perfection by Filing. Capital may at any time and from time to
time, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.7, file financing
statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that
describe the Collateral as all assets of the Borrower or words of
similar effect and which contain any other information required by
Part 5 of Revised Article 9 for the sufficiency or filing office
acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or
amendment, including whether the Borrower is an organization, the type
of organization and any organization identification number issued to
the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to
Capital promptly upon request. Any such financing statements,
continuation statements or amendments may be signed by Capital on
behalf of the Borrower, as provided in Section 4.7, and may be filed
at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 is
then in effect in that jurisdiction.
c. Other Perfection, etc. The Borrower shall at any time and from
time to time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any
particular jurisdiction, take such steps as Capital may reasonably
request for Capital (a) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and
substance satisfactory to Capital, of any bailee having possession of
any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for
Capital, (b) to obtain "control" of any investment property, deposit
accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such
terms are defined in Revised Article 9 with corresponding provisions
in Rev. Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9106 and 9-107 relating to what
constitutes "control" for such items of Collateral), with any
agreements establishing control to be in form and substance
satisfactory to Capital, and (c) otherwise to insure the continued
perfection and priority of Capital's security interest in any of the
Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein, whether in
anticipation and following the effectiveness of Revised Article 9 in
any jurisdiction.
d. Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be
construed to narrow the scope of Capital's security interest in any of
the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or
otherwise limit any of the rights, powers, privileges or remedies of
Capital hereunder except (and then only to the extent) mandated by
Revised Article 9 to the extent then applicable.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
17.1 Representations and Warranties Repeated. Each representation, warranty
and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be automatically deemed repeated
with each advance and shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by
Capital regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by
Capital. The warranties, representations and agreements set forth herein shall
be cumulative and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations
and agreements which Borrower shall give, or cause to be given, to Capital,
either now or hereafter.
17.2 Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed
effective when executed by Borrower and accepted and executed by Capital.
17.3 Right to Grant Participations. This Agreement shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties;
provided, however , that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights
hereunder without Capital's prior written consent and any prohibited assignment
shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Capital shall release
Borrower from its Obligations to Capital. Capital may assign this Agreement and
its rights and duties hereunder. Capital reserves the right to sell, assign,
transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any
interest in, Capital's rights and benefits hereunder.
17.4 Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the extension of financial accommodations by Capital to
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower agrees to indemnify, save,
exonerate, and hold Capital, and each of the officers, directors, employees and
agents of Capital (herein collectively called the "Indemnitees" and individually
called an "Indemnitee") free and harmless from and against any and all actions,
claims, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated
costs for in-house legal services provided and attorneys' fees in all bankruptcy
proceedings) and disbursements (herein collectively called the "Indemnified
Liabilities"), which may be incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees or
any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to, or in
connection with, any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to any use
made or proposed to be made by Borrower of the proceeds of any advance or loan
made hereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and, if and to the extent
that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower
hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities as is permissible under applicable law.
If any action, suit, or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is
brought against Capital, or any Indemnitee or affiliate of an Indemnitee
indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 17.4,
Borrower, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee or intended
Indemnitee, shall resist and defend such action, suit, or proceeding or cause
the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Borrower (which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or intended
Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee shall use its best efforts to cooperate in the
defense of any such action, writ, or proceeding. Borrower shall have no
obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 17.4 to the extent that the
Indemnified Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of any Indemnitee. The Obligations of Borrower under this Section
17.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the
Borrower's other Obligations hereunder.
17.5 Tax Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay and save Capital
harmless against any liability for payment of any state documentary stamp taxes,
intangible taxes or similar taxes (including interest or penalties, if any)
which may now or hereafter be determined to be payable in respect to the
execution, delivery or recording of any Loan Document or the making of any
advance, whether originally thought to be due or not, and regardless of any
mistake of fact or law on the part of Capital or the Borrower with respect to
the applicability of such tax. The provisions of this section shall survive
payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
17.6 Section Headings. Section headings and section numbers have been set
forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the
context, everything contained in each section applies equally to this entire
Agreement.
17.7 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Capital or Borrower,
whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this
Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly
accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
17.8 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from
every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.
17.9 Modification and Merger. This Agreement cannot be changed or
terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations,
warranties and negotiations, if any, are merged into this Agreement.
17.10 Compliance. The Borrower, for and in consideration of the making of
the loan described herein and future advance funding, agree if requested by
Capital or its counsel, Borrower will fully cooperate and execute and/or
re-execute any document or documents due to clerical errors, scrivener's errors
or relating to additional matters due to receipt and review of miscellaneous
required items post closing, or otherwise on any or all of the closing
documentation for the loan if deemed necessary, using reasonable discretion of
Capital and its counsel.
17.11 Capital's Counsel. In the event that Capital has utilized counsel in
connection with the closing of the transaction described in this Agreement, such
counsel ("Capital Counsel") has (1) prepared certain documents relating to the
Loan, including, among other documents, this Agreement; (2) examined such
documents as Capital Counsel deemed necessary in connection with this
transaction; and (3) supervised the closing of the Loan. Capital Counsel's fee
for providing these services is stated on the Loan Closing Statement. These
legal services have been performed on behalf of Capital and not on behalf of
Borrower, and Capital Counsel's fees are being reimbursed to Lender by Borrower.
17.12 JURY TRIAL.
-----------
CAPITAL, THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TRANSACTIONS
AND MATTERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE COMPLEX
IN NATURE AND THAT ANY LITIGATION ARISING THEREFROM WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATELY,
ECONOMICALLY AND SPEEDILY RESOLVED BY A NON-JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, CAPITAL
AND THE GUARANTORS THEREFOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE THE RIGHT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
LITIGATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BASED ON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE LOANS AND
FACILITIES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR IN ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,

AGREEMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR CAPITAL'S ENTERING INTO
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. BORROWER AND

THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IF ANY PROCEEDING IS COMMENCED UNDER TITLE 11 OF
THE UNITED STATES CODE RELATIVE TO IT, CAPITAL SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY ENTITLED
TO IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM STAY UNDER 11 U.S.C. ss.362 WITHOUT ESTABLISHING EQUITY
OR NEED OR LACK OF NEED FOR THE PROPERTY SECURING THE LOANS OR CAUSE OR LACK OF
CAUSE, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO SUCH RELIEF, IT BEING EXPRESSLY
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS PROVISION WAS SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND CONSTITUTES A
