               Subject  to  Interest  computed  at the  Default  Rate.  Lender's
               failure  to  assess  interest  at the  Default  Rate as  provided
               hereunder  shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender to charge  such
               Default Rate.

                    3.2.1.4  Calculation  of  Interest.   All  interest  charged
               hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
               (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

               purpose of the  computation  of interest due  hereunder,  add the
               Clearance  Days to any  payments,  which is  acknowledged  by the
               parties  to  constitute  an  integral  aspect of the  pricing  of
               Lender's  facility to Borrower,  and shall apply  irrespective of
               the characterization of whether receipts are owned by Borrower or
               Lender.  Should any check or item of payment not be honored  when
               presented for payment,  then Borrower shall be deemed not to have
               made  such   payment,   and   interest   shall  be   recalculated
               accordingly.

               has not  been  terminated,  which  amounts  shall be  debited  to
               Borrower's  loan  account.  Any  portion  not paid when due shall

               the Obligations  (whether by acceleration or otherwise)  prior to
               the next Contractual Termination Date.

                    3.2.2.6 Account  Management Fee. The Account Management Fee,
               on the  first  day of each  month  until the last to occur of (i)
               payment in full of all Obligations,  and (ii) termination of this
               Agreement.

                    3.2.2.7  Misdirected  Payment  Fee.  Borrower  shall pay the

the Lender a security interest in the Collateral,  and all proceeds and products
thereof.

         4.2  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein,  upon Borrower's
request and so long as Borrower is not in default  under this  Agreement  at the

provided,  that such other party executes an intercreditor agreement with Lender
in the  form  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  C or such  other  form as  shall be

a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates; and

               5.1.3  Contain a  notification  that the  Borrower  has granted a
negative pledge to the Lender,  and that any subsequent lienor may be tortuously

               hereunder.

         6.3 Release.  Borrower  hereby  releases  and  exculpates  Lender,  its

liability arising from any acts under this Agreement or in furtherance  thereof,

               10.6.1 Make timely  payment or deposit of all taxes,  assessments
or  contributions  required  of  Borrower.  If  Borrower  fails to make any such
payment or deposit or furnish  proof of such payment  immediately  upon Lender's
request, Lender may, in its sole discretion and without notice to Borrower:

                    10.6.1.1 make payment of the same or any part thereof; or

                    10.6.1.2 Set up such  reserves  against the  Obligations  as
               Lender deems  necessary to satisfy the  liability  therefore,  or
               both.

               10.6.2 Lender may  conclusively  rely on statements of the amount
owing  or other  official  statements  issued  by the  appropriate  governmental
agency. Any payment made by Lender shall constitute neither:

                    10.6.2.1 an agreement by Lender to make similar  payments in
               the future; nor

                    10.6.2.2  A waiver by Lender of any  default  under the Loan
               Documents. Lender need not inquire into, nor contest the validity
               of, any expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien, and
               the receipt of the usual  official  notice  requiring the payment
               thereof  shall be  conclusive  evidence that the same was validly
               due and owing.

               10.7 Change in Name. Give Lender written notice  immediately upon
forming  an  intention  to change  its name,  state of  organization  or form of
business organization.

               10.8  Maintenance  of Insurance.  The Borrower will maintain with
financially  sound  and  reputable   insurers  insurance  with  respect  to  its
properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in
accordance with general practices of businesses


                                 Page 14 of 31

<PAGE>

engaged in similar  activities in similar geographic areas. Such insurance shall
be in such minimum  amounts  that the  Borrower  will not be deemed a co-insurer
under applicable insurance laws,  regulations,  and policies and otherwise shall
be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods
as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. In addition, all such insurance
shall be payable to the Lender under a Lender Loss Payable Endorsement.  Without
limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will:

               10.8.1 Keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or
physical  hazard  insurance on an "all risks"  basis,  with broad form flood and
earthquake  coverage  and  electronic  data  processing  coverage,  with  a full
replacement cost endorsement and an "agreed amount" clause in an amount equal to
100% of the full replacement cost of such property;

               10.8.2  Maintain  all  such  workers'   compensation  or  similar
insurance as may be required by law;

               10.8.3 Maintain,  in amounts and with deductibles  equal to those
generally  maintained  by  businesses  engaged in similar  activities in similar
geographic  areas,  general public liability  insurance against claims of bodily
injury,  death, or property damage occurring,  on, in or about the properties of
the Borrower; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.

         10.9 Before  sending any invoice to an Account  Debtor,  Borrower shall
mark same with a notice of assignment as may be required by Lender.

         10.10  Notwithstanding  that Borrower has agreed to pay the Misdirected
Payment Fee,  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the next banking day following the
date of receipt by Borrower the amount of any  proceeds of Accounts  received by
Borrower.

     11 Negative Covenants. Borrower will not:

         11.1 Modify Account  Obligations.  After an Event of Default, (i) grant
any extension of time for payment of any Accounts, (ii) compromise or settle any
Accounts  for less than the full amount  thereof,  (iii)  release in whole or in
part any  Account  Debtor;  or (iv) grant any  credits,  discounts,  allowances,
deductions, return authorizations, or the like with respect to any Accounts.

         11.2  Negative  Pledge.  Hereafter  grant any lien upon the  Collateral
except in favor of Lender.

     12 Events of Default.  Each of the  following  events or  conditions  shall
constitute an "Event of Default":

         12.1 Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations when they become due,
whether at maturity, upon acceleration, or otherwise;

         12.2 Borrower fails to cure the breach of any  Obligation  other than a
payment  obligation  within five Business  Days after notice  thereof is sent by
Lender to Borrower;

<PAGE>

         12.3  Borrower  is in default  with  respect  to any  present or future
agreement with Lender;

         12.4 The Obligations at any time exceed the Allowable Amount;


         12.5 An order for relief is entered  against  any Obligor by any United
States Bankruptcy Court; or any Obligor does not generally pay its debts as they
become due (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.  303(h) as at any time  amended,  or
any successor  statute  thereto);  or any Obligor  makes an  assignment  for the
benefit of creditors;  or any Obligor applies for or consents to the appointment
of a custodian,  receiver,  trustee, or similar officer for it or for all or any
substantial part of its assets, or such custodian, receiver, trustee, or similar
officer is appointed  without the application or consent of any Obligor;  or any
Obligor institutes (by petition, application, answer, consent, or otherwise) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, readjustment of
debt,  dissolution,  liquidation or similar proceeding  relating to it under the
laws of any  jurisdiction;  or any  such  proceeding  shall  be  instituted  (by
petition, application, or otherwise) against any Obligor; or any judgment, writ,
warrant of attachment,  execution,  or similar process shall be issued or levied
against a substantial portion of the property of any Obligor;

         12.6 An adverse  change occurs with respect to the financial  condition

     14 Standards for Exercising Remedies.

         14.1 To the extent that  applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender:

         14.2 to not incur  expenses to prepare  Collateral  for  disposition or
otherwise to complete raw  material or work in process  into  finished  goods or
other finished products for disposition;

         14.3 to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to
be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain
governmental  or third party  consents  for the  collection  or  disposition  of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of;

         14.4 to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or
other persons  obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or  encumbrances on or
any adverse claims against Collateral;


                                 Page 17 of 31

<PAGE>

         14.5 to exercise  collection remedies against Account Debtors and other
persons  obligated  on  Collateral  directly  or through  the use of  collection
agencies and other collection specialists;

         14.6 to advertise  dispositions of Collateral  through  publications or
media of general circulation,  whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature;

         14.7 to hire one or more  professional  auctioneers  to  assist  in the
disposition  of  Collateral,  whether or not the  collateral is of a specialized
nature;

         14.8 to dispose of Collateral by using  Internet sites that provide for
the auction of assets of the types  included in the  Collateral or that have the
reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets;

         14.9 to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

         14.10 to disclaim all disposition warranties; or

         14.11 to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender
against risks of loss,  collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral.

         14.12 Borrower  acknowledges  that the purpose of this Section 14 is to
provide  non-exhaustive  indications  of what actions or omissions by the Lender
would not be  commercially  unreasonable  in the  Lender's  exercise of remedies
against the  Collateral  and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall
not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated
in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained herein
shall be  construed  to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties
on the Lender that would not have been  granted or imposed by this  Agreement or
by applicable law in the absence of this Section 14.


     15 Proceeds and Expenses of Dispositions.  Borrower shall pay to the Lender
on  demand  any and all  expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and
disbursements,  incurred  or paid by the Lender in  protecting,  preserving,  or
enforcing the Lender's  rights under or in respect of any of the  Obligations or
any of the Collateral.  After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any
proceeds of collection or sale of the  Obligations or Collateral  shall,  to the
extent  actually  received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations
in such  order  or  preference  as the  Lender  may  determine,  notwithstanding
contrary  instructions  received by Lender from the  Borrower or any other third
party.

     16 Attorneys  Fees and  Expenses.  Borrower  agrees to reimburse  Lender on
demand for:

         16.1 The actual amount of all costs and expenses,  including attorneys'
fees, which Lender has incurred or may incur in:

applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including but not limited to the
defense of any Avoidance Claims;

         16.2 The actual costs,  including  photocopying (which, if performed by
Lender's employees,  shall be at the rate of $.10/page),  travel, and attorneys'
fees and expenses incurred in complying with any subpoena or other legal process
attendant to any litigation in which Borrower is a party;

         16.3 The actual amount of all costs and expenses,  including attorneys'
fees,  which  Lender may incur in enforcing  this  Agreement  and any  documents
prepared in  connection  herewith,  or in  connection  with any federal or state
insolvency  proceeding  commenced by or against  Borrower,  including  those (i)
arising out the  automatic  stay,  (ii) seeking  dismissal or  conversion of the
bankruptcy   proceeding  or  (ii)  opposing   confirmation  of  Borrower's  plan
thereunder.

     17 Termination.

         17.1 This  Agreement  shall become  effective  upon the  execution  and
delivery  hereof by  Borrower  and Lender and shall  continue  in full force and
effect for the Term.


         17.2 This  Agreement  shall be  automatically  extended for  successive
Terms unless either party has advised the other of their  intention to have this
Agreement  terminate on the next Contractual  Termination  Date, so long as such
notice is in writing and is received at least sixty days prior to such date.

         17.3 Upon the  Termination  Date, the unpaid balance of the Obligations
shall be due and payable without demand or notice.

         17.4 Exposed Payments.

               17.4.1 Upon termination of this Agreement,  Borrower shall pay to
Lender (or Lender may retain), to hold in a non-segregated  non-interest bearing
account the amount of all Exposed Payments (the "Preference Reserve").

               17.4.2 Lender may charge the  Preference  Reserve with the amount
of any  Exposed  Payments  which  Lender  pays to the  bankruptcy  estate of the
Account  Debtor which made the Exposed  Payment,  on account of a claim asserted
under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code.

               17.4.3  Lender  shall  refund to Borrower  from time to time that
balance of the  Preference  Reserve for which a claim  under  Section 547 of the
Bankruptcy Code can no

<PAGE>

longer be asserted due to the passage of the statute of limitations,  settlement
with the bankruptcy estate of the Account Debtor or otherwise.

     18  Revocation  of  Borrower's  Right to Sell  Inventory  Free and Clear of
Lender's  Security  Interest.  Lender may,  upon the  occurrence  of an Event of
Default,  revoke  Borrower's  right to sell Inventory free and clear of Lender's
security interest therein.

     19 No Lien  Termination  without  Release.  In  recognition of the Lender's
right to have its attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all
Obligations by Borrower, Lender shall not be required to record any terminations
or  satisfactions  of any of Lender's liens on the  Collateral  unless and until
Borrower  and all  Guarantors  has  executed  and  delivered to Lender a general
release  in the  form of  Exhibit  D  hereto.  Borrower  understands  that  this
provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under ss.9-513 of the UCC.

     20 Account  Stated.  Lender  shall  render to Borrower a statement  setting
forth the  transactions  arising  hereunder.  Each statement shall be considered
correct and binding upon Borrower,  absent manifest error, as an account stated,
except to the extent that  Lender  receives,  within  thirty (30) days after the
mailing  of  such  statement,  written  notice  from  Borrower  of any  specific
exceptions by Borrower to that statement.

     21 Retention of Records.  Lender  shall  retain any  documents,  schedules,
invoices or other papers  delivered by Borrower  only for such period as Lender,
at its sole  discretion,  may determine  necessary,  after which time Lender may
destroy such records without notice to or consent from Borrower.

     22 Notices  to Third  Parties.  Lender  shall have the right at any time to
give  any  Guarantor  or  Subordinating  Creditor  notice  of any  fact or event
relating  to this  Agreement,  as Lender  may deem  necessary  or  desirable  in
Lender's sole discretion,  including,  without limitation,  Borrower's financial
condition. Borrower shall provide to each Guarantor and Subordinating Creditor a
copy of each  notice,  statement  or  report  required  to be  given  to  Lender
hereunder.

     23 Information to  Participants.  Lender may furnish any financial or other
information  concerning  Borrower,  or any of its  subsidiaries,  heretofore  or
hereafter  provided  by  Borrower  to  Lender,  pursuant  to this  Agreement  or
otherwise,  to any prospective or actual purchaser of any participation or other
interest in any loans made by Lender to Borrower  (whether  under this Agreement
or otherwise), or to any prospective purchaser of any securities issued or to be
issued by Lender.

     24 Entire  Agreement.  No  promises of any kind have been made by Lender or
any third  party to induce  Borrower  to execute  this  Agreement.  No course of
dealing,  course of  performance or trade usage,  and no parole  evidence of any
nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms of this Agreement.
