Obligations become due to the date paid at a fluctuating rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect on each day plus two and

failure to pay the Obligations when due.

payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a
payment is received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) by Lender,

the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be
payable by Borrower at the then applicable rate during such
extension.  All payments on account of the Obligations shall be
made to Lender to such office or accounts as Lender may notify
Borrower in writing from time to time.  If any payment required
to be made by Borrower hereunder becomes due and payable on a day

an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds.  

               (2)  Prepayments from Equity Issuances. 
Immediately upon receipt by Parent of proceeds from the issuance
of any of its capital stock or other equity securities other than

options existing on the Closing Date, Borrower shall prepay the
Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds.

other Governmental Authority or any governmental or judicial
interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) issued by any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

          (1)  Does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan made
hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender
of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall
net income of Lender and income or franchise taxes);

          (2)  Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable
any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans
by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of
funds by, any office of Lender; or

          (3)  Does or shall impose on Lender any other
condition; and the direct result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to Lender in a material amount of making,
renewing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount
receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the
capital of Lender or any corporation controlling Lender, then, in
any such case, Borrower shall pay to Lender, within ten days of
written demand, any additional amounts receivable or rate of
return as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or
the Loan.  If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.7, it shall promptly notify
Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation
thereof in reasonable detail submitted by Lender to Borrower

The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

    2.8  Payment of Taxes.  

          (1)  Borrower agrees to pay any taxes, levies,
deductions, charges or withholdings (other than taxes imposed on
or measured by the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which Lender is organized or any political
subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the
jurisdiction of Lender's applicable lending office or any
political subdivision thereof) (collectively, "Taxes") which
arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Note or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  

          (2)  Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for the full
amount of Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid
by Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto (plus
interest on any amounts so paid at a rate equal to the Default
Rate).  Payment under this indemnification shall be made within
thirty (30) days from the date Lender makes written demand
therefor. 

          (3)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations
of Borrower contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations.

    2.9  Judgment Currency.  

          (1)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any
other Loan Document in any currency (the "Original Currency")
into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures Lender could purchase the Original Currency
with the Other Currency on the business day preceding that on
which final judgment is given.

          (2)  The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum
due from it hereunder in the Original Currency shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged
only to the extent that, on the business day following receipt of
any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, Lender may
in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase such
Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the
Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally
due in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
Lender and its assignees against such loss.

Party enters into a Capital Lease or other contract with respect

days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

represented by Parent and Borrower in subsection 4.14) or admits
in writing its present or prospective inability to pay its debts
as they become due; or

          (L)  Injunction.  Any Loan Party is enjoined,

          (N)  Failure of Security.  Lender does not have or
ceases to have a valid and perfected first priority security
interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances), in each case, for any reason other than the
failure of Lender to take any action within its control.

    7.2   Acceleration.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in the foregoing subsections 7.1(G) or 7.1(H),
all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrower.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, Lender may, by written
notice to Borrower, declare all or any portion of the Obligations
to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and
payable.

    7.3   Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, in addition to and not in limitation of any
rights or remedies available to Lender at law or in equity,
Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
all other rights and remedies provided for herein or in any
Transaction Document or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether
or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and may also
(a) notify any or all obligors on the accounts of any Loan Party
to make all payments directly to Lender; (b) require any Loan
Party to, and each of Parent and Borrower hereby agrees that it
will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at its expense
and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender
at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (c) without notice or demand or legal
process, enter upon any premises of any Loan Party and take
possession of the Collateral; and (d) without notice except as
specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's
offices or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash, on credit
or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable.  each of
Parent and Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to
Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification.  At any sale of the Collateral, if
permitted by law, Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole or
in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for the
purchase of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account
of Lender.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. 
Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.  Lender may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law,
Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption,
stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now
existing or hereafter enacted.  Lender shall not be required to
proceed against any Collateral but may proceed against any Loan
Party directly.

    7.4   Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact.  Borrower hereby
constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact
with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the
name of Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time to time in
Lender's discretion while an Event of Default is continuing to
take any action and to execute any instrument that Lender may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including: (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for,
recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for
moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral; (b) to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment of any account, or release wholly or partly any customer
or obligor thereunder or allow any credit or discount thereon;
(c) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with
clause (a) above; (d) to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings that Lender may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or
otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of
the Collateral; and (e) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight
or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
assignments, verifications and notices in connection with
accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral.  The
appointment of Lender as Borrower's attorney and Lender's rights
and powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until
payment in full and complete performance of all of the
Obligations.  

    7.5   Limitation on Duty of Lender with Respect to
Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, Lender shall have no
duty with respect to any Collateral in its possession or control
(or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee) or with
respect to any income thereon or the preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. 
Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if
the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which Lender accords its own property.  Lender shall not be
liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason
of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding
agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Lender in
good faith.

    7.6   Application of Proceeds.  Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrower
irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and
all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Lender
from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably
agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to
apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or
times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may
deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Lender upon
any books and records  and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or
other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall
be applied: first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by
Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or the Collateral; second, to all fees due and owing to Lender;
third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; fourth,
to the principal amounts of the Obligations outstanding; and
fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing
to Lender.  

    7.7   License of Intellectual Property.  Borrower hereby
assigns, transfers and conveys to Lender, effective upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the non-exclusive
right and license to use all Intellectual Property owned or (to
the extent that such license would not breach any agreement of
Borrower) used by Borrower together with any goodwill associated
therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Lender to
realize on the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy
the benefits of the Collateral.  This right and license shall
inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees
of Lender and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by
voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer,
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.  Such
right and license is granted free of charge, without requirement
that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Borrower by
Lender.

    7.8   Waivers, Non-Exclusive Remedies.  No failure on the
part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right under this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of
any right under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right.  The rights in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
other remedies provided by law.


                    SECTION 8  MISCELLANEOUS

    8.1   Assignments and Participations.  Lender may assign its
rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and
further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of
the Loan.  In the case of an assignment authorized under this
subsection 8.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such
assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would
if it were a Lender hereunder, any Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect thereto.  Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a
direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the
assignee shall be considered to be a "Lender".  Lender may
furnish any information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries in
its possession from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignees and participants).  If at any
time there shall be more than one Lender, Lenders shall designate
one party to act as "agent", and all actions shall be approved by
Lenders holding more than 51% of the Loan.

    8.2   Set Off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender,
each assignee of Lender's interest, and each participant is
hereby authorized by Parent and Borrower at any time or from time
to time, without notice to Parent or Borrower or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it
at any of its offices for the account of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to
Parent or its Subsidiaries) and any other property at any time
held or owing by that Lender or assignee to or for the credit or
for the account of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries against and
on account of any of the Obligations then outstanding; provided,
that no participant shall exercise such right without the prior
written consent of Lender.

    Each of Parent and Borrower hereby agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, that any Lender, assignee or participant
may exercise its right of setoff with respect to amounts in
excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations (or, in the case
of a participant, in excess of its pro rata participation
interest in the Obligations) and that such Lender, assignee or
participant, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have
purchased for cash in the amount of such excess, participations
in each other Lender's or holder's share of the Obligations.  

    8.3   Expenses and Attorneys' Fees.  Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower
agrees to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising
out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
including the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses
shall be part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured
by the Collateral:  (a) fees, costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees, allocated costs of internal counsel and fees of
consultants, accountants and other professionals retained by
Lender) incurred in connection with the examination, review, due
diligence investigation, documentation and closing of the
arrangements evidenced by the Transaction Documents; (b) fees,
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees, allocated costs of
internal counsel and fees of consultants, accountants and other

amendments, waivers, consents, forbearances and other
modifications relating thereto or any subordination or
intercreditor agreements; (c) fees, costs and expenses incurred
in creating, perfecting and maintaining perfection of Liens in
favor of Lender; (d) fees, costs, expenses (including attorneys'
fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of
settlement incurred in collecting upon or enforcing rights
against the Collateral or incurred in any action to enforce this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to collect any
payments due from Borrower or any other Loan Party under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or incurred in connection
with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement, whether in the nature of a
"workout" or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings or otherwise.

    8.4   Indemnity.  In addition to the payment of expenses
pursuant to subsection 8.3, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to
indemnify, pay and hold Lender, and the officers, directors,
employees, agents, consultants, auditors, Persons engaged by
Lender to evaluate or monitor the Collateral, affiliates and
attorneys of Lender and such holders (collectively called the
"Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or
threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
Lender's agreement to make the Loan hereunder, the use or
intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan or the exercise
of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Transaction
Documents (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that Borrower
shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect
to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.  

    8.5   Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of
the other Transaction Documents, or consent to any departure by
Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and the
applicable Loan Party.  Each amendment, modification, termination
or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it was given.  

    8.6   Notices.  Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all notices shall be in writing addressed to the
respective party as set forth below and may be personally served,

    8.8   Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part
of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a

preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.  

    8.9   Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  Lender shall not be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan
Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all

part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens,
rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

    8.10  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Note, and the
other Transaction Documents referred to herein embody the final,

discussions of the parties hereto.  There are no oral agreements
among the parties hereto.

shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action
or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact
that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is
taken or condition exists.

    8.12  Severability.  The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under
this Agreement, or the other Transaction Documents or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.

Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only

JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATIONS.

    8.17  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF PARENT AND BORROWER AND
LENDER HEREBY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.  EACH OF PARENT AND
