interest  at  the  Interest Rate (or, if applicable, at the Default Rate) on the
outstanding  WCMA Loan Balance, from and including the date on which the initial
WCMA  Loan  is made until the date of payment of all WCMA Loans in full; and (c)

and  notice  of  protest,  notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of

this  WCMA  Promissory  Note  and  this  Loan  Agreement.

2.2 WCMA LOANS
(a) ACTIVATION DATE. Provided that: (i) the Commitment Expiration Date shall not
then  have occurred, and (ii) Customer shall have subscribed to the WCMA Program
and its subscription to the WCMA Program shall then be in effect, the Activation
Date shall occur on or promptly after the date, following the acceptance of this
Loan  Agreement  by MLBFS at its office in Chicago, Illinois, upon which each of
the  General  Funding  Conditions  shall  have  been  met  or  satisfied  to the
reasonable  satisfaction  of  MLBFS.  No activation by MLBFS of the WCMA Line of
Credit  for a nominal amount shall be deemed evidence of the satisfaction of any
of  the  conditions  herein  set  forth,  or  a  waiver  of  any of the terms or
conditions  hereof. Customer hereby authorizes MLBFS to pay out of and charge to
Customer's  WCMA Account on the Activation Date any and all amounts necessary to
fully  pay off any bank or other financial institution having a lien upon any of
the  Collateral  other  than  a  Permitted  Lien.

(b)  WCMA  LOANS.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period
from and after the Activation Date to the first to occur of the Maturity Date or
the date of termination of the WCMA Line of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof,
and  in  addition  to  WCMA Loans automatically made to pay accrued interest, as
hereafter  provided:  (i) MLBFS will make WCMA Loans to Customer in such amounts
as  Customer  may from time to time request in accordance with the terms hereof,
up  to  an  aggregate  outstanding amount not to exceed the Maximum WCMA Line of
Credit,  and  (ii)  Customer may repay any WCMA Loans in whole or in part at any
time,  and  request  a  re-borrowing  of  amounts  repaid  on a revolving basis.
Customer  may request such WCMA Loans by use of WCMA Checks, FTS, Visa* charges,
wire  transfers, or such other means of access to the WCMA Line of Credit as may
be permitted by MLBFS from time to time; it being understood that so long as the
WCMA  Line of Credit shall be in effect, any charge or debit to the WCMA Account
which  but  for  the  WCMA  Line  of  Credit  would  under the terms of the WCMA
Agreement  result  in  an overdraft, shall be deemed a request by Customer for a
WCMA  Loan.

(c)  CONDITIONS OF WCMA LOANS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MLBFS shall not be
obligated to make any WCMA Loan, and may without notice refuse to honor any such
request  by  Customer, if at the time of receipt by MLBFS of Customer's request:
(i)  the making of such WCMA Loan would cause the Maximum WCMA Line of Credit to
be  exceeded; or (ii) the Maturity Date shall have occurred, or the WCMA Line of
Credit shall have otherwise been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof;
or (iii) Customer's subscription to the WCMA Program shall have been terminated;
or  (iv)  an event shall have occurred and be continuing which shall have caused
any  of  the  General  Funding Conditions to not then be met or satisfied to the
reasonable satisfaction of MLBFS. The making by MLBFS of any WCMA Loan at a time
when any one or more of said conditions shall not have been met shall not in any
event  be  construed  as  a  waiver  of  said  condition or conditions or of any
Default,  and shall not prevent MLBFS at any time thereafter while any condition
shall  not  have  been  met from refusing to honor any request by Customer for a
WCMA  Loan.

(d)  LIMITATION  OF LIABILITY. MLBFS shall not be responsible, and shall have no
liability  to  Customer or any other party, for any delay or failure of MLBFS to
honor  any  request  of Customer for a WCMA Loan or any other act or omission of
MLBFS,  MLPF&S  or  any  of their affiliates due to or resulting from any system
failure, error or delay in posting or other clerical error, loss of power, fire,
Act  of God or other cause beyond the reasonable control of MLBFS, MLPF&S or any
of  their  affiliates unless directly arising out of the willful wrongful act or
active  gross negligence of MLBFS. In no event shall MLBFS be liable to Customer
or  any other party for any incidental or consequential damages arising from any
act  or  omission by MLBFS, MLPF&S or any of their affiliates in connection with
the  WCMA  Line  of  Credit  or  this  Loan  Agreement.


                                        3
<PAGE>
(e)  INTEREST,  (i)  An  amount equal to accrued Interest on the dally WCMA Loan
Balance  shall  be  payable  by  Customer  monthly  on  each  Interest Due Date,
commencing  with  the  first Interest Due Date after the Activation Date. Unless
otherwise  hereafter directed in writing by MLBFS on or after the first to occur
of  the  Maturity  Date  or  the  date of termination of the WCMA Line of Credit
pursuant to the terms hereof, such interest will be automatically charged to the
WCMA  Account  on  the applicable Interest Due Date, and, to the extent not paid
with free credit balances or the proceeds of sales of any Money Accounts then in
the  WCMA  Account,  as hereafter provided, paid by a WCMA Loan and added to the
WCMA  Loan Balance. All interest shall be computed for the actual number of days
elapsed  on  the  basis  of  a  year  consisting  of  360  days.

(ii)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, but without
limiting  the  rights  and  remedies  otherwise  available to MLBFS hereunder or
waiving  such  Default,  the interest payable by Customer hereunder shall at the
option  of  MLBFS  accrue  and be payable at the Default Rate. The Default Rate,
once  implemented,  shall  continue  to apply to the Obligations under this Loan
Agreement  and  be payable by Customer until the date MLBFS gives written notice
that  such  Default  has  been  cured  to  the  satisfaction  of  MLBFS.

(iii)  Notwithstanding  any  provision  to  the  contrary  in  any  of  the Loan
Documents,  no  provision of any of the Loan Documents shall require the payment
or  permit the collection of Excess Interest. If any Excess Interest is provided
for,  or  is  adjudicated  as  being provided for, in any of the Loan Documents,
then:  (A)  Customer  shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; and (B)
any  Excess  Interest that MLBFS may have received hereunder or under any of the
Loan  Documents  shall,  at  the  option of MLBFS, be either applied as a credit
against  the  then  unpaid  WCMA  Loan Balance or refunded to the payor thereof.

(f)  PAYMENTS.  All  payments  required or permitted to be made pursuant to this
Loan  Agreement  shall  be  made  in  lawful  money of the United States. Unless
otherwise directed by MLBFS, payments on account of the WCMA Loan Balance may be
made  by  the delivery of checks (other than WCMA Checks), or by means of FTS or
wire transfer of funds (other than funds from the WCMA Line of Credit) to MLPF&S
for  credit  to  Customer's  WCMA  Account. Notwithstanding anything in the WCMA
Agreement  to  the  contrary, Customer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
MLPF&S  to  apply  available  free  credit  balances  in the WCMA Account to the
repayment  of  the WCMA Loan Balance prior to application for any other purpose.
Payments  to  MLBFS from funds in the WCMA Account shall be deemed to be made by
Customer  upon  the  same  basis  and  schedule  as funds are made available for
investment  in  tie  Money  Accounts  in  accordance  with the terms of the WCMA
Agreement.  All  funds  received  by MLBFS from MLPF&S pursuant to the aforesaid
authorization  shall  be applied by MLBFS to repayment of the WCMA Loan Balance.
The acceptance by or on behalf of MLBFS of a check or other payment for a lesser
amount  than  shall  be  due  from  Customer,  regardless  of any endorsement or
statement  thereon  or  transmitted therewith, shall not be deemed an accord and
satisfaction  or  anything  other than a payment on account, and MLBFS or anyone
acting  on  behalf  of  MLBFS  may  accept  such  check or other payment without
prejudice  to  the  rights  of  MLBFS  to recover the balance actually due or to
pursue  any  other  remedy  under this Loan Agreement or applicable law for such
balance.  All  checks  accepted  by or on behalf of MLBFS in connection with the
WCMA  Line  of  Credit  are  subject  to  final  collection.

(g)  IRREVOCABLE  INSTRUCTIONS  TO  MLPF&S.  In  order to minimize the WCMA Loan
Balance, Customer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs MLPF&S, effective on
the  Activation  Date  and  continuing thereafter so long as this Loan Agreement
shall  be  in  effect: (i) to immediately and prior to application for any other
purpose  pay  to  MLBFS  to the extent of any WCMA Loan Balance or other amounts
payable  by  Customer  hereunder all available free credit balances from time to
time  in  the  WCMA Account; and (ii) if such available free credit balances are
insufficient  to pay the WCMA Loan Balance and such other amounts, and there are
in  the  WCMA  Account at any time any investments in Money Accounts (other than
any  investments  constituting any Minimum Money Accounts Balance under the WCMA
Directed  Reserve Program), to immediately liquidate such investments and pay to
MLBFS  to  the  extent  of  any  WCMA  Loan  Balance  and such other amounts the
available  proceeds  from  the  liquidation  of  any  such  Money  Accounts.

(h) LATE CHARGE. Any payment or deposit required to be made by Customer pursuant
to  the  Loan  Documents not paid or made within ten (10) days of the applicable
due  date shall be subject to a late charge in an amount equal to the lesser of:
(a)  5% of the overdue amount, or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Such late charge shall be payable on demand, or, without demand, may in the
sole discretion of MLBFS be paid by a Subsequent WCMA Loan and added to the WCMA
Loan  Balance  in  the  same manner as provided herein for accrued interest with
respect  to  the  WCMA  Line  of  Credit.

(i)  STATEMENTS.  MLPF&S  will include in each monthly statement it issues under
the  WCMA  Program  information  with  respect  to  WCMA Loans and the WCMA Loan
Balance.  Any  questions that Customer may have with respect to such information
should  be directed to MLBFS; and any questions with respect to any other matter
in  such statements or about or affecting the WCMA Program should be directed to
MLPF&S.

(j)  USE  OF  WCMA  LOAN  PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of each WCMA Loan initiated by
Customer  shall  be  used by Customer solely for working capital in the ordinary
course  of  its business, or, with the prior written consent of MLBFS, for other
lawful business purposes of Customer not prohibited hereby. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT
UNDER  NO  CIRCUMSTANCES  WILL  THE  PROCEEDS  OF ANY WCMA LOAN BE USED: (I) FOR
PERSONAL,  FAMILY  OR  HOUSEHOLD  PURPOSES  OF ANY PERSON WHATSOEVER, OR (II) TO
PURCHASE,  CARRY  OR  TRADE  IN  SECURITIES, OR REPAY DEBT INCURRED TO PURCHASE,
CARRY OR TRADE IN SECURITIES, WHETHER IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WCMA ACCOUNT,
ANOTHER  ACCOUNT  OF CUSTOMER WITH MLPF&S OR AN ACCOUNT OF CUSTOMER AT ANY OTHER
BROKER  OR  DEALER  IN  SECURITIES,  OR  (III)  UNLESS OTHERWISE CONSENTED TO IN
WRITING BY MLBFS, TO PAY ANY AMOUNT TO MERRILL LYNCH AND CO., INC. OR ANY OF ITS
SUBSIDIARIES,  OTHER THAN MERRILL LYNCH BANK USA, MERRILL LYNCH BANK & TRUST CO.
OR  ANY  SUBSIDIARY  OF EITHER OF THEM (INCLUDING MLBFS AND MERRILL LYNCH CREDIT
CORPORATION).

(k) RENEWAL AT OPTION OF MLBFS; RIGHT OF CUSTOMER TO TERMINATE. MLBFS may at any
time,  in  its  sole  discretion  and at its sole option, renew the WCMA Line of
Credit  for  one  or  more  Renewal  Years or extend the Maturity Date; it being
understood, however, that no such renewal or extension shall be effective unless
set forth in a writing executed by a duly authorized representative of MLBFS and
delivered  to Customer. Unless any such renewal or extension is accompanied by a
proposed  change  in  tine  terms  of  the  WCMA  Line of Credit (other than the
extension  of  the  Maturity  Date),  no  Customer  approval  shall be required.
Customer  shall, however, have the right to terminate the WCMA Line of Credit at
any  time  upon written notice to MLBFS. Concurrently with any such termination,
Customer  shall  pay  to  MLBFS  the  entire  WCMA  Loan  Balance  and all other
Obligations.

(l)  LINE FEES, (i) In consideration of the extension of the WCMA Line of Credit
by  MLBFS  to Customer during the period from the Activation Date to the Initial
Maturity Date, Customer has paid or shall pay the Line Fee to MLBFS. If the Line
Fee  has not heretofore been paid by Customer, Customer hereby authorizes MLBFS,
at  its  option,  to either cause the Line Fee to be paid on the Activation Date
with a WCMA Loan, or invoice Customer for such Line Fee (in which event Customer
shall  pay  said  fee  within 5 Business Days after receipt of such invoice). No
delay  in  the  Activation Date, howsoever caused, shall entitle Customer to any
rebate  or reduction in the Line Fee or to any extension of the Initial Maturity
Date.

(ii)  Customer  shall pay to MLBFS an additional Line Fee for each Renewal Year,
or  an  extension fee for any extension of the Maturity Date (each extension fee
shall  be  equal  to  the  pro  rata amount of the Line Fee corresponding to the
length  of  the  extension  period).  In  connection  therewith, Customer hereby
authorizes MLBFS, at its option, to either cause each such fee to be paid with a
WCMA Loan on or at any time after the first Business Day of such Renewal Year or
extension  period, as applicable, or invoiced to Customer at such time (in which
event  Customer  shall pay such Line Fee within 5 Business Days after receipt of
such  invoice).  Each Line Fee and extension fee shall be deemed fully earned by

Credit,  howsoever caused, shall entitle Customer to any rebate or refund of any
portion  of  such  fee;  provided, however, that if Customer shall terminate the
WCMA Line of Credit not later than 5 Business Days after the receipt by Customer
of  notice from MLBFS of a renewal of the WCMA Line of Credit, Customer shall be
entitled  to  a  refund of any Line Fee charged by MLBFS for the ensuing Renewal
Year.

obligations.

security  interest  therein.

(h)  INSURANCE.  Customer  shall  insure  all of the tangible Collateral under a
policy  or  policies of physical damage insurance for the full replacement value
thereof against such perils as MLBFS shall reasonably require and also providing
that  losses  will be payable to MLBFS as its interests may appear pursuant to a

other  provisions as may be reasonably required by MLBFS. Customer shall further
provide  and  maintain  a  policy  or  policies  of commercial general liability
insurance  naming  MLBFS  as  an  additional  party  insured.  Customer and each
Business Guarantor shall maintain such other insurance as may be required by law
or  is  customarily  maintained  by  companies  in  a  similar  business  or


                                        7
<PAGE>
otherwise  reasonably  required  by  MLBFS.  All  such  insurance policies shall
provide  that  MLBFS  will receive not less than 10 days prior written notice of
any  cancellation, and shall otherwise be in form and amount and with an insurer
or  insurers reasonably acceptable to MLBFS. Customer shall furnish MLBFS with a
copy or certificate of each such policy or policies and, prior to any expiration
or  cancellation,  each  renewal  or  replacement  thereof.

(i)  EVENT OF LOSS. Customer shall at its expense promptly repair all repairable
damage  to  any tangible Collateral. In the event that there is an Event of Loss
and  the  affected  Collateral  had  a  value  prior  to  such  Event of Loss of
$25,000.00  or  more, then, on or before the first to occur of (i) 90 days after
the occurrence of such Event of Loss, or (ii) 10 Business Days after the date on
which  either  Customer  or  MLBFS  shall  receive  any proceeds of insurance on
account  of  such  Event  of  Loss,  or  any  underwriter  of  insurance on such
Collateral  shall advise either Customer or MLBFS that it disclaims liability in
respect  of  such  Event  of  Loss, Customer shall, at Customer's option, either
replace  the Collateral subject to such Event of Loss with comparable Collateral
free  of  all liens other than Permitted Liens (in which event Customer shall be
entitled  to  utilize the proceeds of insurance on account of such Event of Loss
for  such  purpose,  and  may  retain any excess proceeds of such insurance), or
permanently  prepay  the Obligations by an amount equal to the actual cash value
of such Collateral as determined by either the insurance company's payment (plus
any  applicable  deductible)  or,  in  absence  of insurance company payment, as
reasonably  determined  by  MLBFS;  it  being  further  understood that any such
permanent prepayment shall cause an immediate permanent reduction in the Maximum
WCMA  Line  of  Credit in the amount of such prepayment and shall not reduce the
amount  of  any future reductions in the Maximum WCMA Line of Credit that may be
required  hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of occurrence
of  such  Event  of  Loss  or  any  time thereafter prior to replacement or line
reduction,  as  aforesaid,  an  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred and be
continuing hereunder, then MLBFS may at its sole option, exercisable at any time
while  such  Event  of  Default  shall be continuing, require Customer to either
replace  such  Collateral  or prepay the Obligations and reduce the Maximum WCMA
Line  of  Credit,  as  aforesaid.

(j)  NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. Customer shall give MLBFS immediate notice of any
attachment,  lien, judicial process, encumbrance or claim affecting or involving
$25,000.00  or  more  of  the  Collateral.

(k)  INDEMNIFICATION.  Customer  shall indemnify, defend and save MLBFS harmless
from  and  against  any  and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
(including,  without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of any
nature whatsoever which may be asserted against or incurred by MLBFS arising out
of or in any manner occasioned by (i) the ownership, collection, possession, use
or  operation  of any Collateral, or (ii) any failure by Customer to perform any
of  its  obligations hereunder; excluding, however, from said indemnity any such
claims,  liabilities,  etc.  arising directly out of the willful wrongful act or
active gross negligence of MLBFS. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or
termination  of  this Loan Agreement as to all matters arising or accruing prior
to  such  expiration  or  termination.

dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate or other notice
or  formality  of  any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; provided,

Customer  at  any  time in full or partial payment d any Collateral, and require
that  Customer not commingle any such items which may be so received by Customer
with any other of its funds or property but instead hold them separate and apart

(vii)  NOTIFICATION OF ACCOUNT DEBTORS. MLBFS may notify any account debtor that
its  Account or Chattel Paper has been assigned to MLBFS and direct such account

property  of  Customer  which  is in transit to or in the possession, custody or
control  of MLBFS, MLPF&S or any agent, bailee, or affiliate of MLBFS or MLPF&S.
Customer  hereby  collaterally assigns and grants to MLBFS a continuing security
interest  in  all such property as Collateral and as additional security for the
Obligations.  Upon  the  occurrence  and  during  the continuance of an Event of
Default,  MLBFS  shall  have all rights in such property available to collateral
assignees  and  secured  parties  under  all applicable laws, including, without
limitation,  the  UCC.

(c)  POWER OF ATTORNEY. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of  an  Event  of  Default,  Customer  hereby  irrevocably appoints MLBFS as its
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in its place and stead and in
its name or in the name of MLBFS, to from time to time in MLBFS' sole discretion
take  any action and to execute any instrument which MLBFS may deem necessary or
advisable  to  accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents,  including,  but  not limited to, to receive, endorse and collect all
checks,  drafts  and  other instruments for the payment of money made payable to
Customer  included in the Collateral. The powers of attorney granted to MLBFS in
this  Loan  Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the
Obligations  have  been  indefeasibly  paid  in full and fully satisfied and all
obligations  of  MLBFS  under  this  Loan  Agreement  have  been  terminated

(d)  REMEDIES  ARE  SEVERABLE  AND  CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of MLBFS
herein  are  severable  and  cumulative  and in addition to all other rights and
remedies  available  in  the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, and any one or
more  of  such  rights  and  remedies  may  be  exercised  simultaneously  or
successively.

(e)  NO MARSHALLING. MLBFS shall be under no duty or obligation to (i) preserve,
protect  or  marshall the Collateral; (ii) preserve or protect the rights of any
Credit  Party  or any other Person claiming an interest in the Collateral; (ill)
realize  upon  the  Collateral  in  any  particular  order  or manner, (iv) seek
repayment  of  any  Obligations  from  any particular source; (v) proceed or not
proceed  against any Credit Party pursuant to any guaranty or security agreement
or  against  any  Credit  Party  under  the Loan Documents, with or without also
realizing  on the Collateral; (vi) permit any substitution or exchange of all or
any part of the Collateral; or (vii) release any part of the Collateral from the
Loan  Agreement  or  any  of  the  other  Loan  Documents,  whether  or not such
substitution  or  release  would  leave  MLBFS  adequately  secured.

(f)  NOTICES. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Customer hereby
irrevocably  waives  and  releases MLBFS of and from any and all liabilities and
penalties for failure of MLBFS to comply with any statutory or other requirement
imposed  upon MLBFS relating to notices of sale, holding of sale or reporting of
any sale, and Customer waives all rights of redemption or reinstatement from any
such  sale.  Any  notices  required under applicable law shall be reasonably and
properly  given  to  Customer  if given by any of the methods provided herein at
least  5  Business  Days  prior  to taking action. MLBFS shall have the right to
postpone  or  adjourn  any  sale  or other disposition of Collateral at any time
without  giving  notice  of  any  such postponed or adjourned date. In the event
MLBFS seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process,
Customer  further  irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any
bonds and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court
rule  or  otherwise  as  an  incident  to  such  possession,  and any demand for
possession  prior  to  the  commencement  of  any  suit  or  action.

3.7 MISCELLANEOUS

(a)  NON-WAIVER.  No  failure  or  delay  on the part of MLBFS in exercising any
right,  power or remedy pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents  shall  operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise
of  any such right, power or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Neither any waiver
of  any provision of any of the Loan Documents, nor any consent to any departure
by  Customer  therefrom,  shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and  signed  by MLBFS. Any waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement or any
of  the  other  Loan Documents and any consent to any departure by Customer from
the  terms  of  this  Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
effective  only  in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on
Customer  shall  in  any case entitle Customer to any other or further notice or
demand  in  similar  or  other  circumstances.

(b)  DISCLOSURE.  Customer  hereby  irrevocably authorizes MLBFS and each of its
affiliates,  including without limitation MLPF&S, to at any time (whether or not
an Event of Default shall have occurred) obtain from and disclose to each other,
and  to  any  third party in connection with Section 3.7 (g) herein, any and all
financial  and  other  information  about  Customer.  In  connection  with  said
authorization,  the  parties  recognize  that in order to provide a WCMA Line of
Credit  certain information about Customer is required to be made available on a
computer  network  accessible  by certain affiliates of MLBFS, including MLPF&S.
Customer  further  irrevocably authorizes MLBFS to contact, investigate, inquire
and  obtain  consumer reports, references and other information on Customer from
consumer  reporting  agencies  and  other  credit  reporting services, former or
current creditors, and other persons and sources (including, without limitation,
any  Affiliate  of  MLBFS)  and to provide to any references, consumer reporting
agencies,  credit  reporting  services,  creditors and other persons and sources
(including,  without  limitation, affiliates of MLBFS) all financial, credit and
other  information  obtained  by  MLBFS  relating  to  the  Customer.

(c)  COMMUNICATIONS. Delivery of an agreement, instrument or other document may,
at the discretion of MLBFS, be by electronic transmission. Except as required by
law  or  otherwise  provided  herein or in a writing executed by the party to be
bound, all notices demands, requests, accountings, listings, statements, advices
or other communications to be given under the Loan Documents shall be in writing
and  shall  be  served  either personally, by deposit with a reputable overnight
courier  with  charges  prepaid,  or  by  deposit  in  the United States mail by
certified mail, return receipt required. Notices may be addressed to Customer as
set forth at its address shown in the preamble hereto, or to any office to which
billing  or  account  statements  are sent; to MLBFS at its address shown in the
preamble  hereto,  or  at such other address designated in writing by MLBFS. Any
such  communication  shall  be  deemed  to  have been given upon, in the case of
personal  delivery  the date of delivery, one Business Day after deposit with an
overnight  courier,  two (2) Business Days after deposit in the United States by
certified  mail (return receipt required), or receipt of electronic transmission
(which shall be presumed to be three hours after the time of transmission unless
an error message is received by the sender), except that any notice of change of

(d) FEES, EXPENSES AND TAXES. Customer shall pay or reimburse MLBFS for: (I) all
UCC,  real  property  or  other  filing, recording, and search fees and expenses
incurred  by  MLBFS  in  connection  with  the  verification,  perfection  or
preservation  of  MLBFS'  rights  hereunder  or  in  any Collateral or any other
collateral  for  the  Obligations;  (i)  any  and all stamp, transfer, mortgage,
intangible,  document,  filing,  recording  and  other taxes and fees payable or
determined  to  be  payable  in  connection with the borrowings hereunder or the
execution, delivery, filing and/or recording of the Loan Documents and any other
instruments  or  documents  provided  for herein or delivered or to be delivered
hereunder  or  in  connection  herewith;  and  (iii)  all fees and out-of-pocket
expenses  (including,  attorneys'  fees and legal expenses) incurred by MLBFS in
connection  with  the  preparation,  execution,  administration,  collection,
enforcement,  protection,  waiver or amendment of this Loan Agreement, the other
Loan  Documents  and  such  other  instruments  or documents, and the rights and
remedies  of  MLBFS  thereunder  and  all other matters in connection therewith.
Customer  hereby  authorizes  MLBFS,  at its option, to either cause any and all
such  fees,  expenses and taxes to be paid with a WCMA Loan, or invoice Customer
therefore  (in  which event Customer shall pay all such fees, expenses and taxes
within  5  Business  Days  after  receipt  of  such invoice). The obligations of
Customer  under  this  paragraph  shall survive the expiration or termination of
this  Loan  Agreement  and  the  discharge  of  the  other  Obligations.

(e)  RIGHT TO PERFORM OBLIGATIONS. If Customer shall fail to do any act or thing
which  it  has  covenanted  to  do  under  any  of  the  Loan  Documents  or any
representation  or  warranty  on  the  part  of  Customer  contained in the Loan
Documents shall be breached, MLBFS may, in its sole discretion, after 5 Business
Days  written  notice  is  sent to Customer (or such lesser notice, including no
notice, as is reasonable under the circumstances), do the same or cause it to be
done  or  remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose. Any
and  all  reasonable amounts so expended by MLBFS shall be repayable to MLBFS by
Customer  upon demand, with interest at the Interest Rate during the period from
and  including the date funds are so expended by MLBFS to the date of repayment,
and all such amounts shall be additional Obligations. The payment or performance
by  MLBFS  of any of Customer's obligations hereunder shall not relieve Customer
of  said  obligations  or of the consequences of having failed to pay or perform
the  same,  and  shall  not  waive  or  be  deemed  a  cure  of  any  Default.

(f)  FURTHER  ASSURANCES. Customer agrees to do such further acts and things and
to  execute  and  deliver  to  MLBFS such additional agreements, instruments and
documents  as  MLBFS  may reasonably require or deem advisable to effectuate the
purposes  of  the  Loan  Documents,  to  confirm  the  WCMA  Loan Balance, or to
establish,  perfect  and  maintain  MLBFS' security interests and liens upon the
Collateral, including, but not limited to: (i) executing financing statements or
amendments thereto when and as reasonably requested by MLBFS; and (ii) if in the
reasonable  judgment  of  MLBFS  it is required by local law, causing the owners
and/or mortgagees of the real property on which any Collateral may be located to
execute  and  deliver to MLBFS waivers or subordinations reasonably satisfactory
to  MLBFS  with  respect  to  any  rights  in  such  Collateral.

(g)  BINDING EFFECT. This Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding
upon,  and  shall  inure  to the benefit of MLBFS, Customer and their respective
successors  and  assigns.  MLBFS  reserves  the  right,  at  any  time while the
Obligations remain outstanding, to sell, assign, syndicate or otherwise transfer
or  dispose  of  any  or  all  of  MLBFS'  rights  and  interests under the Loan
Documents.  MLBFS also reserves the right at any time to pool the WCMA Loan with
one  or  more  other  loans  originated  by  MLBFS  or  any other Person, and to
securitize  or  offer  interests  in  such pool on whatever terms and conditions
MLBFS  shall determine. Customer consents to MLBFS releasing financial and other
information  regarding  Credit  Parties,  the  Collateral  and  the WCMA Loan in
connection  with  any  such  sale,  pooling,  securitization  or other offering.
Customer  shall  not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations
under this Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents without the prior written
consent  of  MLBFS.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in a writing signed by
MLBFS,  no  such  consent  shall  in  any  event  relieve Customer of any of its
obligations  under  this  Loan  Agreement  or  the  Loan  Documents.

(h)  INTERPRETATION;  CONSTRUCTION.  (i)  Captions  and  section  and  paragraph
headings  in  this  Loan Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience,
and  shall  not affect the interpretation hereof; (ii) no provision of this Loan
Agreement  shall be construed against a particular Person or in favor of another
Person  merely  because  of  which  Person  (or  its  representative) drafted or
supplied  the  wording for such provision; and (iii) where the context requires:
(a)  use  of the singular or plural incorporates the other, and (b) pronouns and
modifiers  in  the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to refer
to  or  include  the  other  genders.

(i) GOVERNING LAW. This Loan Agreement, and, unless otherwise expressly provided
therein,  each  of  the Loan Documents, shall be governed in all respects by the
laws  of  the  State  of Illinois, not including its conflict of law provisions.

(j)  SEVERABILITY  OF PROVISIONS. Whenever possible, each provision of this Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be  effective  and  valid  under  applicable  law.  Any  provision  of this Loan
Agreement  or  any of the Loan Documents which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any  jurisdiction  shall,  as  to  such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
extent  of  such  prohibition  or  unenforceability  without  invalidating  the
remaining  provisions of this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents or affecting
the  validity  or  enforceability  of  such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(k)  TERM.  This  Loan  Agreement shall become effective on the date accepted by
MLBFS  at  its  office  in  Chicago, Illinois, and, subject to the terms hereof,

notice  of  acceptance  of  this  Loan  Agreement  by  MLBFS.

CREDIT,  THE  OBLIGATIONS, THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR
ANY  OF  THE  TRANSACTIONS  WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT.

(p)  INTEGRATION.  THIS  LOAN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AND REPRESENTS THE FULL AND FINAL AGREEMENT

Merrill Lynch                                             UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY
================================================================================

FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  and  in  order to induce MERRILL LYNCH BUSINESS FINANCIAL
SERVICES INC. ("MLBFS") to advance moneys or extend or continue to extend credit
or  lease  property  to or for the benefit of, or modify its credit relationship
with,  or  enter  into  any  other financial accommodations with YP.NET, INC., a
corporation  organized  and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (with
any  successor  in  interest,  including,  without  limitation, any successor by
merger  or  by  operation  of law, herein collectively referred to as "Customer)
under:  (a)  that certain WCMA LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT NO. 412-02104 between
MLBFS  and  Customer  (the  "Loan Agreement"), (b) any "Loan Documents", as that
term  is  defined  in  the  Loan  Agreement,  including, without limitation, the
NOTE(S) incorporated by reference in the Loan Agreement, and (c) all present and
future  amendments,  restatements,  supplements  and  other  evidences  of  any
extensions,  increases,  renewals,  modifications and other changes of or to the
Loan Agreement or any Loan Documents (collectively, the 'Guaranteed Documents"),
and  for  other  good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, THE UNDERSIGNED, TELCO BILLING INC., a corporation
organized  and  existing  under  the  laws  of the State of Nevada ("Guarantor),
HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEES TO MLBFS: (i) the prompt and full payment when
due,  by  acceleration  or  otherwise, of all sums now or any time hereafter due
from Customer to MLBFS under the Guaranteed Documents, (ii) the prompt, full and
faithful  performance and discharge by Customer of each and every other covenant
and  warranty  of  Customer set forth in the Guaranteed Documents, and (iii) the
prompt  and  full payment and performance of all other indebtedness, liabilities
and  obligations  of  Customer  to  MLBFS,  howsoever  created or evidenced, and
whether  now  existing  or  hereafter arising (collectively, the "Obligations").
Guarantor  further  agrees  to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or incurred
by  MLBFS  in  endeavoring  to  collect  or  enforce  performance  of any of the
Obligations, or in enforcing this Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges that MLBFS is
relying on the execution and delivery of this Guaranty in advancing moneys to or
extending  or  continuing  to  extend  credit to or for the benefit of Customer.

This  Guaranty  is  absolute,  unconditional  and continuing and shall remain in
effect until all of the Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid,
performed  and discharged. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
default or Event of Default under any of the Guaranteed Documents, any or all of
the  indebtedness hereby guaranteed then existing shall, at the option of MLBFS,
become immediately due and payable from Guarantor (it being understood, however,
that  upon  the  occurrence  of  any  "Bankruptcy Event", as defined in the Loan
Agreement,  all  such  indebtedness  shall  automatically become due and payable
without action on the part of MLBFS). Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such
event,  this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect. To the
extent  MLBFS  receives  payment with respect to the Obligations, and all or any
part  of  such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential,  set  aside,  required to be repaid by MLBFS or is repaid by MLBFS
pursuant  to  a settlement agreement, to a trustee, receiver or any other person
or entity, whether under any Bankruptcy law or otherwise (a "Returned Payment"),
this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case
may  be,  to  the  extent  of  such  payment  or  repayment  by  MLBFS,  and the
indebtedness  or  part thereof intended to be satisfied by such Returned Payment
shall  be  revived  and  continued  in full force and effect as if said Returned
Payment  had  not  been  made.

The  liability  of Guarantor hereunder shall in no event be affected or impaired
by  any of the following, any of which may be done or omitted by MLBFS from time
to  time,  without  notice  to  or  the  consent of Guarantor: (a) any renewals,
amendments,  restatements,  modifications  or  supplements  of  or to any of the
Guaranteed  Documents,  or any extensions, forbearances, compromises or releases
of  any  of  the Obligations or any of MLBFS' rights under any of the Guaranteed
Documents;  (b)  any  acceptance  by MLBFS of any collateral or security for, or
other  guarantees  of,  any  of  the  Obligations;  (c)  any failure, neglect or
omission on the part of MLBFS to realize upon or protect any of the Obligations,
or any collateral or security therefor, or to exercise any lien upon or right of
appropriation  of  any  moneys,  credits  or  property  of Customer or any other
guarantor,  possessed by or under the control of MLBFS or any of its affiliates,
toward  the  liquidation  or  reduction  of the Obligations; (d) any invalidity,
irregularity  or  unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations, of any
collateral  security  for  the Obligations, or the Guaranteed Documents; (e) any
application  of  payments  or  credits by MLBFS; (f) the granting of credit from
time  to  time  by  MLBFS  to  Customer in excess of the amount set forth in the
Guaranteed Documents; or (g) any other act of commission or omission of any kind
or  at  any time upon the part of MLBFS or any of its affiliates or any of their
respective  employees  or  agents  with  respect to any matter whatsoever. MLBFS
shall  not  be  required  at any time, as a condition of Guarantor's obligations
hereunder,  to  resort  to  payment  from  Customer or other persons or entities
whatsoever,  or  any of their properties or estates, or resort to any collateral
or  pursue  or  exhaust  any  other  rights  or  remedies  whatsoever.

No  release  or  discharge  in  whole  or  in part of any other guarantor of the
Obligations  shall  release  or  discharge Guarantor unless and until all of the
Obligations  shall  have  been indefeasibly fully paid and discharged. Guarantor
expressly  waives  presentment,  protest, demand, notice of dishonor or default,
notice  of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of advancement of funds under the
Guaranteed  Documents and all other notices and formalities to which Customer or
Guarantor  might be entitled, by statute or otherwise, and, so long as there are
any  Obligations  or MLBFS is committed to extend credit to Customer, waives any
right  to  revoke or terminate this Guaranty without the express written consent
of  MLBFS.

So long as there are any Obligations, Guarantor shall not have any claim, remedy
or  right  of  subrogation,  reimbursement,  exoneration,  contribution,
indemnification,  or  participation  in  any  claim,  right,  or remedy of MLBFS
against  Customer  or  any  security  which MLBFS now has or hereafter acquires,
whether  or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by
statute,  under  common  law,  or  otherwise.

MLBFS  is  hereby  irrevocably  authorized  by  Guarantor at any time during the
continuance  of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other of the
Guaranteed  Documents  or  in  respect  of  any  of the Obligations, in its sole
discretion  and  without demand or notice of any kind, to appropriate, hold, set
off  and  apply toward the payment of any amount due hereunder, in such order of
application as MLBFS may elect, all cash, credits, deposits, accounts, financial
assets,  investment  property,  securities  and  any other property of Guarantor
which  is  in  transit  to  or in the possession, custody or control of MLBFS or
Merrill  Lynch,  Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), or any of their
respective  agents, bailees or affiliates. Guarantor hereby collaterally assigns
and  grants  to  MLBFS  a  continuing  security interest in all such property as
additional  security  for  the  Obligations.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, MLBFS shall have all rights in such property
available to collateral assignees and secured parties under all applicable laws,
including,  without  limitation,  the  Uniform  Commercial  Code.


<PAGE>
Guarantor  agrees  to  furnish  to  MLBFS  such financial information concerning
Guarantor  as may be required by any of the Guaranteed Documents or as MLBFS may
otherwise  from  time  to  time  reasonably  request.  Guarantor  further hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  MLBFS  and  each  of  its affiliates, including without
limitation MLPF&S, to at any time (whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred) obtain from and disclose to each other any and all financial and other
information  about  Guarantor.

No  delay  on the part of MLBFS in the exercise of any right or remedy under any
of  the Guaranteed Documents, this Guaranty or any other agreement shall operate
as  a  waiver  thereof,  and,  without  limiting  the foregoing, no delay in the
enforcement of any security interest, and no single or partial exercise by MLBFS
of  any  right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the  exercise of any other right or remedy. This Guaranty may be executed in any
number  of  counterparts, each of which counterparts, once they are executed and
delivered,  shall  be  deemed  to  be an original and all of which counterparts,
taken  together,  shall  constitute but one and the same Guaranty. This Guaranty
shall  be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure
to  the  benefit of MLBFS and its successors and assigns. If there are more than
one  guarantor  of  the  Obligations,  all  of the obligations and agreements of
Guarantor  are  joint  and  several  with  such  other  guarantors.

This  Guaranty  shall  be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. WITHOUT
LIMITING  THE  RIGHT  OF  MLBFS TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY IN ANY JURISDICTION AND
VENUE  PERMITTED  BY APPLICABLE LAW: (I) GUARANTOR AGREES THAT THIS GUARANTY MAY
AT  THE  OPTION OF MLBFS BE ENFORCED BY MLBFS IN EITHER THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR
IN  ANY  OTHER  JURISDICTION WHERE GUARANTOR, CUSTOMER OR ANY COLLATERAL FOR THE
OBLIGATIONS  OF  CUSTOMER  MAY  BE  LOCATED,  (II) GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS
ITSELF  TO  JURISDICTION  IN  THE  STATE  OF  ILLINOIS AND VENUE IN ANY STATE OR
FEDERAL  COURT  IN  THE  COUNTY  OF  COOK FOR SUCH PURPOSES, AND (III) GUARANTOR
WAIVES  ANY  AND  ALL  RIGHTS  TO  CONTEST  SAID  JURISDICTION AND VENUE AND THE
CONVENIENCE  OF ANY SUCH FORUM AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REMOVE SUCH ACTION FROM
STATE  TO  FEDERAL  COURT.  GUARANTOR  FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO COMMENCE ANY
ACTION  AGAINST MLBFS IN ANY JURISDICTION EXCEPT IN THE COUNTY OF COOK AND STATE
OF  ILLINOIS. MLBFS AND GUARANTOR HEREBY EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS
TO  A  TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER
OF  THE  PARTIES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER RELATING TO,
ARISING  OUT  OF  OR  IN  ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY AND/OR ANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS  WHICH  ARE  THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR FURTHER
WAIVES  THE  RIGHT  TO BRING ANY NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS. Wherever possible
each  provision  of  this  Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective  and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty
shall  be  prohibited  by  or  invalid  under  such law, such provision shall be
ineffective  only  to  the  extent  of  such  prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Guaranty.  No  modification  or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty
shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both Guarantor and an officer
of  MLBFS.  Each  signatory  on  behalf of Guarantor warrants that he or she has
authority  to  sign on behalf of Guarantor, and by so signing, to bind Guarantor
hereunder.

<PAGE>
(c)  PERFORMANCE  OF  OBLIGATIONS.  Grantor shall perform all of its obligations
owing  on account of or with respect to the Collateral; it being understood that

penalties,  fines and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever which may be asserted
against  or  incurred by MLBFS arising out of or in any manner occasioned by (i)

(ii)  any  failure  by  Grantor  to  perform  any  of its obligations hereunder;
excluding,  however,  from  said indemnity any such claims, losses, etc. arising

(f)  INSURANCE.  Grantor  shall  insure  all  of the tangible Collateral with an

days  prior  written  notice  of  any  cancellation;  and  containing such other
provisions  as  may be reasonably required by MLBFS. Grantor shall maintain such
other  insurance  as  may be required by law or otherwise reasonably required by

policy or policies and, prior to any expiration or cancellation, each renewal or

occurrence  of  such  Event  of Loss, or (ii) 10 Business Days after the date on
which either Grantor or MLBFS shall receive any proceeds of insurance on account
of  such  Event  of  Loss,  or  any  underwriter  of  insurance on such tangible
Collateral  shall  advise either Grantor or MLBFS that it disclaims liability in
respect  of  such  Event  of  Loss,  Grantor  shall, at Grantor's option, either
replace  the Collateral subject to such Event of Loss with comparable Collateral
free  of  all  liens other than Permitted Liens (in which event Grantor shall be
entitled  to  utilize the proceeds of insurance on account of such Event of Loss
for  such purpose, and may retain any excess proceeds of such insurance), or pay
to  MLBFS on account of the Obligations an amount equal to the actual cash value
of  such  Collateral  as determined by either the applicable insurance company's
payment  (plus  any  applicable  deductible) or, in absence of insurance company
payment, as reasonably determined by MLBFS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at
the  time  of  occurrence  of such Event of Loss or any time thereafter prior to
replacement  or  payment,  as aforesaid, an Event of Default shall have occurred
and  be  continuing hereunder, then MLBFS may at its sole option, exercisable at
any  time  while  such  Event of Default shall be continuing, require Grantor to
either  replace such Collateral or make a payment on account of the Obligations,
as  aforesaid.

(h)  SALES  AND  COLLECTIONS. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and  be continuing, Grantor may in the ordinary course of its business: (i) sell
any  Inventory  normally  held  by  Grantor  for  sale,  (ii) use or consume any
materials  and  supplies  normally  held  by Grantor for use or consumption, and
(ill)  collect  all of its Accounts. Grantor shall take such action with respect
to  protection  of  its Inventory and the other Collateral and the collection of
its  Accounts  as  MLBFS  may  from  time  to  time  reasonably  request.

(i)  ACCOUNT  SCHEDULES.  Upon  the request of MLBFS, made now or at any time or

choose:

payable,  whereupon  all  such  amounts  shall  be  immediately due and payable,
without  presentment,  demand for payment, protest and notice of protest, notice
of  dishonor,  notice  of  acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate or other
notice  or  formality  of  any  kind,  all of which are hereby expressly waived;

part  of  MLBFS.

(ii)  EXERCISE  RIGHTS  OF  SECURED  PARTY. MLBFS may exercise any or all of the
remedies of a secured party under applicable law, including, but not limited to,
the  UCC,  and any or all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement.

records pertaining to the Collateral available to MLBFS at a place designated by

judicial  process  and  without  any  prior  notice  to  Grantor.

(iv) SALE. MLBFS may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale
upon  such  terms  and conditions as MLBFS may reasonably deem proper, and MLBFS
may purchase any Collateral at any such public sale; and the net proceeds of any
such public or private sale and all other amounts actually collected or received

and  severally  liable  for  any amount remaining unpaid after such application.

(v)  DELIVERY  OF CASH, CHECKS, ETC. MLBFS may require Grantor to forthwith upon

Grantor  at  any  time in full or partial payment of any Collateral, and require
that  Grantor  not  commingle any such items which may be so received by Grantor
with any other of its funds or property but instead hold them separate and apart
and  in  trust  for  MLBFS  until  delivery  is  made  to  MLBFS.

(vi)  NOTIFICATION  OF ACCOUNT DEBTORS. MLBFS may notify any Account Debtor that
its  Account or Chattel Paper has been assigned to MLBFS and direct such Account

any  sale, and Grantor waives all rights of redemption or reinstatement from any
such  sale.  MLBFS shall have the right to postpone or adjourn any sale or other

or all of the Collateral by court process, Grantor further irrevocably waives to

8. MISCELLANEOUS

(a)  NON-WAIVER.  No  failure  or  delay  on the part of MLBFS in exercising any
right,  power  or  remedy  pursuant  to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof,  and  no  single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy
shall  preclude  any  other  or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
other  right,  power  or  remedy.  Neither  any  waiver of any provision of this
Agreement,  nor  any  consent  to  any  departure by Grantor therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by MLBFS. Any waiver of
any provision of this Agreement and any consent to any departure by Grantor from
the terms of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein,  no  notice to or demand on Grantor shall in any case entitle Grantor to
any  other  or  further  notice  or  demand  in  similar or other circumstances.

(b)  COMMUNICATIONS.  All notices and other communications required or permitted
hereunder  shall be in writing, and shall be either delivered personally, mailed
by  postage  prepaid  certified  mail or sent by express overnight courier or by

stamp,  transfer and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in
connection  with the execution, delivery and/or recording of this Agreement; and
(iii) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited
to,  reasonable  fees  and  expenses  of  outside  counsel) incurred by MLBFS in
connection  with  the  enforcement of this Agreement or the protection of MLBFS'
rights hereunder, excluding, however, salaries and expenses of MLBFS' employees.
The  obligations of Grantor under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or
termination  of  this  Agreement  and  the  discharge  of the other Obligations.

(d)  RIGHT  TO PERFORM OBLIGATIONS. If Grantor shall fail to do any act or thing
which  it  has  covenanted  to  do under this Agreement or any representation or
warranty  on  the part of Grantor contained in this Agreement shall be breached,
MLBFS  may, in its sole discretion, after 5 Business Days written notice is sent
to  Grantor  (or such lesser notice, including no notice, as is reasonable under
the  circumstances),  do  the  same  or  cause  it to be done or remedy any such
breach,  and  may  expend  its  funds  for  such purpose. Any and all reasonable
amounts so expended by MLBFS shall be repayable to MLBFS by Grantor upon demand,
with  interest at the highest "Interest Rate" under the Loan Agreement under the
Loan  Agreement,  or  the  highest  interest rate permitted by law, whichever is
less,  during  the  period  from and including the date funds are so expended by
MLBFS  to  the date of repayment, and any such amounts due and owing MLBFS shall
be  additional  Obligations.  The  payment  or  performance  by  MLBFS of any of
Grantor's obligations hereunder shall not relieve Grantor of said obligations or
of  the  consequences of having failed to pay or perform the same, and shall not
waive  or  be  deemed  a  cure  of  any  Default.


                                      -5-

(e) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Grantor agrees to do such further acts and things and to

applicable  law.  Any  provision  of  this  Agreement  which  is  prohibited  or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
only  to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the  remaining  provisions  of  this  Agreement  or  affecting  the  validity or
enforceability  of  such  provision  in  any  other  jurisdiction.

(j)  TERM.  This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by MLBFS, and,
subject  to  the  terms  hereof,  shall continue in effect so long thereafter as
