SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

         2.1      Revolving Loans.

contained herein, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to Borrower from time to
time in amounts requested by Borrower up to the amount equal to the sum of:

                           (i)      eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Amount
         of Eligible Borrower Accounts, plus

         of the Net Amount of Eligible Canadian Accounts, or (B) $3,000,000,

                           (iv)     any Availability Reserves.

                  (b)      Lender may, in its discretion, from time to time,
upon not less than five (5) days prior notice to Borrower, reduce the lending
formula with respect to Eligible Accounts to the extent that Lender determines
in good faith that: the dilution with respect to the Accounts for any period
(based on the ratio of (i) the aggregate amount of reductions in Accounts other
than as a result of payments in cash to (ii) the aggregate amount of total
sales) has increased in any material respect or may be reasonably anticipated to
increase in any material respect above historical levels. In determining whether
to reduce the lending formula(s), Lender may consider events, conditions,
contingencies or risks which are also considered in determining Eligible
Accounts or in establishing Availability Reserves.

                  (c)      Except in Lender's discretion, the aggregate amount
of the Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. In the
event that the outstanding amount of any component of the Loans exceed the
amounts available under the lending formulas, or the Maximum Credit, as
applicable, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of
Lender in that circumstance or on any future occasions and Borrower shall, upon
demand by Lender, which may be made at any time or from time to time,
immediately repay to Lender the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which
payment is demanded.

         2.2      Availability Reserves. All Revolving Loans otherwise available

and other applicable limits hereunder shall be subject to Lender's continuing
right to establish and revise Availability Reserves.

SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES

         3.1      Interest.

                  (a)      Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the
outstanding principal amount of the non-contingent Obligations at the Interest
Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of
Default or termination or non-renewal hereof shall be payable on demand.

                  (b)      Borrower may from time to time request that Prime
Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar
Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from
Borrower shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Loans which will constitute
Eurodollar Rate Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest
Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by Lender of
such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to
Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case
may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default, or event which with notice or
passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of
termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, (iii) Borrower shall have complied
with such customary

procedures as are established by Lender and specified by Lender to Borrower from
time to time for requests by Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more
than four (4) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the
aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (vi) the
maximum amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time requested by Borrower
shall not exceed the amount equal to eighty (80%) percent of the lowest
principal amount of the Revolving Loans which it is anticipated will be
outstanding during the applicable Interest Period, as determined by Lender (but
with no obligation of Lender to make such Revolving Loans) and (vii) Lender
shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is
available to Lender through the Reference Bank and can be readily determined as
of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrower. Any
request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to
continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender and Reference
Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the
London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any
Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if
Lender and Reference Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar
Rate Loans.

                  (c)      Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert
to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless
Lender has received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan
at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the
terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Lender's option, upon notice
by Lender to Borrower, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) an
Event of Default or event which, with the notice or passage of time, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist, (ii) this Agreement shall
terminate or not be renewed, or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Prime Rate Loans which have previously been converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans
or existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the
beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period
exceed either (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding,
or (B) the Revolving Loans then available to Borrower under Section 2 hereof.
Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its
option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate
Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such
person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate
Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

                  (d)      Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Lender
monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall
be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual
days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than
Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each
increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month
after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in
effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event
shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrower to Lender exceed the
maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and
if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such
law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform
thereto.

amount of $125,000, which shall be fully earned as of and payable on the date
hereof.

         3.3      Servicing Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly a
servicing fee in an amount equal to $2,000 in respect of Lender's services for
each month (or part thereof) while this Agreement remains in effect and for so
long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be
fully earned as of and payable in advance on the date hereof and on the first
day of each month hereafter.

         3.4      Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly an
unused line fee at a rate equal (.375%) per annum calculated upon the amount by
which $20,000,000 exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding
Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) while
this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations
are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in
arrears.

         3.5      Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.

                  (a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, all Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon notice by Lender to Borrower,
convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) any change in applicable law
or regulation (or the interpretation or administration thereof) shall either (A)
make it unlawful for Lender, Reference Bank or any participant to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or to comply with the terms hereof in connection
with the Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (B) shall result in the increase in the costs
to Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Rate Loans by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, or (C)
reduce the amounts received or receivable by Lender in respect thereof, by an
amount deemed by Lender to be material or (ii) the cost to Lender, Reference
Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
otherwise increase by an amount deemed by Lender to be material. Borrower shall
pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any
loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the
Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any loss (including loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of the
foregoing, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such person to make or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans or any
portion thereof. A certificate of Lender setting forth the basis for the
determination of such amount necessary to compensate Lender as aforesaid shall
be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

                  (b)      If any payments or prepayments in respect of the
Eurodollar Rate Loans are received by Lender other than on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period (whether pursuant to acceleration, upon maturity or
otherwise), including any payments pursuant to the application of collections
under Section 6.3 or any other payments made with the proceeds of Collateral,
Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its
option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate
Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any additional
loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such
person as a result of such prepayment or payment, including,

                  (a)      Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes
Lender (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing
statements with respect to the Collateral naming Lender or its designee as the
secured party and Borrower as debtor, as Lender may require, and including any
other information with respect to Borrower or otherwise required by part 5 of
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Lender may
determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto,
which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to
or after the date hereof. Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all financing
statements naming Lender or its designee as secured party and Borrower, as
debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such
financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Lender prior to the date hereof
and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Lender to file such financing
statements (and amendments, if any). Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to adopt
on behalf of Borrower any symbol required for authenticating any electronic
filing. In the event that the description of the Collateral in any financing
statement naming Lender or its designee as the secured party and Borrower as
debtor includes assets and properties of Borrower that do not at any time
constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Financing
Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall
nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Borrower to the extent of the
Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing
statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the
financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall
Borrower at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction
statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or
amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Lender or its designee as
secured party and Borrower as debtor.

                  (b)      Borrower does not have any chattel paper (whether
tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the date hereof, except as set
forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that Borrower shall be
entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the date
hereof, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing. Promptly upon
the receipt thereof by or on behalf of Borrower (including by any agent or
representative), Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender, all
tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower has or may at any time
acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed
in blank as Lender may from time to time specify, in each case except as Lender
may otherwise agree. At Lender's option, Borrower shall, or Lender may at any
time

on behalf of Borrower, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel
paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to Lender with
the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable:

Congress Financial Corporation and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance
of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party."

                  (c)      In the event that Borrower shall at any time hold or
acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any "transferable record"
(as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), Borrower shall
promptly notify Lender thereof in writing. Promptly upon Lender's request,
Borrower shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions as Lender may request to
give Lender control of such electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the
UCC and control of such transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may
be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such
jurisdiction.

                  (d)      Borrower does not have any deposit accounts as of the
date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. Borrower shall
not, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain
any deposit account unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i)

         to or shall at any time after the date hereof hold or acquire any
         certificated securities, Borrower shall promptly endorse, assign and
         deliver the same to Lender (except for any certificated securities

         account, securities account, commodity account or any other similar

         or commodity intermediary unless each of the following conditions is
         satisfied: (A) Lender shall have received not less than five (5)
         Business Days prior written notice of the intention of Borrower to open
         or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable
         detail and specificity acceptable to Lender the name of the account,

detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include

amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the

practices as in effect from time to time.

         6.2      Statements. Lender shall render to Borrower each month a
statement setting forth the balance in the Borrower's loan account(s) maintained
by Lender for Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including
principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be
subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest errors or
omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrower and
conclusively binding upon Borrower as an account stated except to the extent
that Lender receives a written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions
of Borrower thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has
been mailed by Lender. Until such time as Lender shall have rendered to Borrower
a written statement as provided above, the balance in Borrower's loan account(s)
shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lender by
Borrower.

         6.3      Collection of Accounts.

                  (a)      Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its
expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either
case, "Blocked Accounts"), as Lender may specify, with such banks as are
acceptable to Lender into which Borrower shall promptly deposit and direct its
account debtors to directly remit all payments on Receivables and all payments
constituting proceeds of Inventory (except to the extent required by the IBM
Loan Documents to be remitted directly to IBM Credit and consistent with the
Intercreditor Agreement) or other Collateral in the identical form in which such
payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Borrower shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender a Depository Account Control
Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked
Account is maintained as provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time and from
time to time Lender may become the bank's customer with respect to any of the
Blocked Accounts and promptly upon Lender's request, Borrower shall execute and
deliver such agreements and documents as Lender may require in connection
therewith. Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or
other funds received and collected by Lender, whether in respect of the
Receivables or as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall
be treated as payments to Lender in respect of the Obligations and therefore
shall constitute the property of Lender to the extent of the then outstanding
Obligations.

                  (b)      For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans
available to Borrower, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final
collection) to the Obligations on the business day of receipt by Lender of
immediately available funds in the Payment Account provided such payments and
notice thereof are received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary
practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit
Borrower's loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next business day.
For the purposes of

                                       27

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments or other funds received
will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations one (1)
day following the date of receipt of immediately available funds by Lender in
the Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and notice thereof are
received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary practices as in effect
from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrower's loan account
on such day, and if not, then on the next business day.

                  (c)      Borrower and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries,
shareholders, directors, employees or agents shall, acting as trustee for
Lender, receive, as the property of Lender, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or
any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral
which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon
receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked
Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to
Lender. In no event shall the same be commingled with Borrower's own funds.
Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender, on demand for any amounts owed or paid to
any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person
involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of
Lender's payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation
of Borrower to reimburse Lender for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3
shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

         6.4      Payments. All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment
Account as provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Lender may designate
from time to time. Lender may apply payments received or collected from Borrower
or for the account of Borrower (including the monetary proceeds of collections
or of realization upon any Collateral) to such of the Obligations, whether or
not then due, in such order and manner as Lender determines. At Lender's option,
all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in
this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the
loan account(s) of Borrower. Borrower shall make all payments to Lender on the
Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts,
fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after
receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of,
any of the Obligations, Lender is required to surrender or return such payment
or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be
satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds
had not been received by Lender. Borrower shall be liable to pay to Lender and
does hereby indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4 shall remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance
upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the
Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

         6.5      Authorization to Make Loans. Lender is authorized to make the
Loans based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone
purporting to be an officer of Borrower or other authorized person or, at the
discretion of Lender, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations.
All requests for Loans hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested
advance is to be made (which day shall be a business day) and the amount of the

                                       28

requested Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time on any day
shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the
immediately following business day. All Loans under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the
benefit of, Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or otherwise
disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         6.6      Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the initial proceeds of
the Loans provided by Lender to Borrower hereunder only for: (a) payments to
each of the persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by
Borrower to Lender on or about the date hereof and (b) costs, expenses and fees
in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. All other Loans made by Lender to
Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrower only for
general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of
Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds will
be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness
which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for
any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a "purpose
credit" within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, as amended.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS

         7.1      Collateral Reporting. Borrower shall provide Lender with the
following documents with respect to its Accounts and the Accounts of Supplies
Canada, in a form satisfactory to Lender: (a) on a regular basis as required by
Lender, a schedule of Accounts, sales made, credits issued and cash received;
(b) on a monthly basis or more frequently as Lender may request, agings of
accounts payable, (c) upon Lender's request, (i) copies of customer statements
and credit memos, remittance advices and reports, and copies of deposit slips
and bank statements, (ii) copies of shipping and delivery documents, and (iii)
copies of purchase orders, invoices and delivery documents for Equipment
acquired by Borrower; (d) agings of accounts receivable on a monthly basis or
more frequently as Lender may request; and (e) copies of such documents as
required by this Section 7.1 received by Borrower from Supplies Canada, upon
delivery to Borrower, and (f) such other reports as to the Collateral as Lender
shall request from time to time. If any of Borrower's records or reports of the
Collateral are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor,
shipper or other agent, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such service,
contractor, shipper or agent to deliver such records, reports, and related
documents to Lender and to follow Lender's instructions with respect to further
services at any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing.

         7.2      Accounts Covenants.

                  (a)      Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of: (i) any
material delay in Borrower's performance of any of its obligations to any
account debtor or the assertion of any claims, offsets, defenses or
counterclaims by any account debtor, or any disputes with account debtors, or
any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse

                                       29

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

information relating to the financial condition of any account debtor and (iii)
any event or circumstance which, to Borrower's knowledge would cause Lender to
consider any then existing Accounts as no longer constituting Eligible Accounts.
No credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the
foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor without Lender's consent,
except in the ordinary course of Borrower's business in accordance with
practices and policies previously disclosed in writing to Lender. So long as no
Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any
account debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, Lender shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle,
adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with account
debtors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances.

                  (b)      Without limiting the obligation of Borrower to
deliver any other information to Lender, Borrower shall promptly report to
Lender any return of Inventory by any one account debtor if the inventory so
returned in such case has a value in excess of $200,000. At any time that
Inventory is returned, reclaimed or repossessed, the Account (or portion
thereof) which arose from the sale of such returned, reclaimed or repossessed
Inventory shall not be deemed an Eligible Account. In the event any account
debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall, upon Lender's request, (i) hold the returned
Inventory in trust for Lender, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from all of
its other property, (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to
Lender's instructions, and (iv) not issue any credits, discounts or allowances
with respect thereto without Lender's prior written consent.

                  (c)      With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown
on any invoice delivered to Lender or schedule thereof delivered to Lender shall
be true and complete, (ii) no payments shall be made thereon except payments
immediately delivered to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii)
no credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the
foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor except as reported to Lender in
accordance with this Agreement and except for credits, discounts, allowances or
extensions made or given in the ordinary course of Borrower's business in
accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed to Lender, (iv)
there shall be no setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or
disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as reported to Lender
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) none of the transactions
giving rise thereto will violate any applicable State or Federal laws or
regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient under
such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

                  (d)      Lender shall have the right at any time or times, in
Lender's name or in the name of a nominee of Lender, to verify the validity,
amount or any other matter relating to any Receivables or other Collateral, by
mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

                  (e)      Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
Lender, with appropriate endorsement and assignment, with full recourse to
Borrower, all chattel paper and instruments which Borrower now owns or may at
any time acquire immediately upon Borrower's receipt thereof, except as Lender
may otherwise agree.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

                  (f)      Lender may, at any time or times that an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, (i) notify any or all account
debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a
security interest therein and Lender may direct any or all accounts debtors to
make payment of Accounts directly to Lender, (ii) extend the time of payment of,
compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or
otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other
obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the
account debtor or any other party or parties in any way liable for payment
thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or
enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty
to do so, and Lender shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce
the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with
respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Lender may deem necessary or
desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's request, all
invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts
and such other obligations have been assigned to Lender and are payable directly
and only to Lender and Borrower shall deliver to Lender such originals of
documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of
services giving rise to any Accounts as Lender may require.

         7.3      Inventory Covenants. With respect to the Inventory: (a)

to Lender, keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the
kind, type, quality and quantity of Inventory, Borrower's cost therefor and
daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto; (b) Borrower shall conduct a
physical count of the Inventory at least once each year, but at any time or
times as Lender may request on or after an Event of Default, and promptly
following such physical inventory shall supply Lender with a report in the form
and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender concerning
such physical count; (c) Borrower shall not remove any Inventory from the
locations set forth on Schedule 7.3 hereof or permitted herein, without the
prior written consent of Lender, except for sales of Inventory in the ordinary
course of Borrower's business and except to move Inventory directly from one
location set forth or permitted herein to another such location; (d) Borrower
shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory with all reasonable care
and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in
conformity with applicable laws (including the requirements of the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended and all rules, regulations and orders
related thereto); (e) none of the Inventory or other Collateral constitutes farm
products or the proceeds thereof; (f) Borrower assumes all responsibility and
liability arising from or relating to the production, use, sale or other
disposition of the Inventory; (g) Borrower shall not sell Inventory to any
customer on approval, or any other basis which entitles the customer to return
or may obligate Borrower to repurchase such Inventory; and (h) Borrower shall
keep the Inventory in good and marketable condition.

         7.4      Equipment and Real Property Covenants. With respect to the
Equipment: (a) upon Lender's request, Borrower shall, at its expense, at any
time or times as Lender may request on or after an Event of Default, deliver or
cause to be delivered to Lender written reports or appraisals as to the
Equipment and/or Realty Property in form, scope and methodology acceptable to
Lender and by an appraiser acceptable to Lender, addressed to Lender and upon
which Lender is expressly permitted to rely; (b) Borrower shall keep the
Equipment in good

order, repair, running and marketable condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted); (c) Borrower shall use the Equipment and Real Property with all
reasonable care and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any
insurance and in conformity with all applicable laws; (d) the Equipment is and
shall be used in Borrower's business and not for personal, family, household or
farming use; (e) Borrower shall not remove any Equipment from the locations set
forth or permitted herein, except to the extent necessary to have any Equipment
repaired or maintained in the ordinary course of the business of Borrower or to
move Equipment directly from one location set forth or permitted herein to
another such location and except for the movement of motor vehicles used by or
for the benefit of Borrower in the ordinary course of business; (f) the
Equipment is now and shall remain personal property and Borrower shall not
permit any of the Equipment to be or become a part of or affixed to real
property; and (g) Borrower assumes all responsibility and liability arising from
the use of the Equipment and Real Property.

         7.5      Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints Lender (and all persons designated by Lender) as Borrower's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Lender, in Borrower's or Lender's name,

to the Collateral, and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in
Lender's determination, to fulfill Borrower's obligations under this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements and (b) at any time to (i) take control in
any manner of any item of payment in respect of Receivables or constituting
Collateral or otherwise received in or for deposit in the Blocked Accounts or
otherwise received by Lender, (ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into
which remittances from account debtors or other Obligors in respect of

                                       32

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

except as a result of Lender's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

         7.6      Right to Cure. Lender may, at its option, (a) cure any default
by Borrower under any agreement with a third party that affects the Collateral,
its value or the ability of Lender to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or the rights and remedies of Lender therein or the ability of
Borrower or any Obligor to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the
other Financing Agreements, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered
against Borrower, (c) discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other

judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain
the Collateral and the rights of Lender with respect thereto. Lender may add any
amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrower's account therefor,
such amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand. Lender shall be under no
obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so,
be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of Borrower or any
Obligor. Any payment made or other action taken by Lender under this Section
shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder

Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of
inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of Borrower's books
and records, including the Records, and (b) Borrower shall promptly furnish to
Lender such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as Lender may
request, and (c) use during normal business hours such of Borrower's personnel,
equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the
foregoing and if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing
for the collection of Receivables and realization of other Collateral.

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender the following (which
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and
accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of Loans by Lender to
Borrower:

         8.1      Corporate Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries.
Borrower is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of
its state of incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in
good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent
of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such
qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to
so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial
condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Lender in or to any
of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
the other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and
thereunder are all within Borrower's corporate powers, have been

                                       33

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of Borrower's
certificate/articles of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational
documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a
party or by which Borrower or its property are bound. This Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of
Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower does
not have any subsidiaries except as set forth on the Information Certificate.

         8.2      Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All
financial statements relating to Borrower which have been or may hereafter be
delivered by Borrower to Lender have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and
fairly present the financial condition and the results of operation of Borrower
as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as disclosed in
any interim financial statements furnished by Borrower to Lender prior to the
date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in the assets,
liabilities, properties and condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower,
since the date of the most recent audited financial statements furnished by
Borrower to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement.

         8.3      Name; State of Organization; Chief Executive Office;
Collateral Locations.

                  (a)      The exact legal name of Borrower is as set forth on
the signature page of this Agreement. Borrower has not, during the past five
years, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been a
party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of
the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the
ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Information Certificate.

                  (b)      Borrower is an organization of the type and organized
in the jurisdiction set forth in the Information Certificate. The Information
Certificate accurately sets forth the organizational identification number of
Borrower or accurately states that Borrower has none and accurately sets forth
the federal employer identification number of Borrower.

                  (c)      The chief executive office and mailing address of
Borrower and Borrower's Records concerning Accounts are currently located and
for the past five years have only been located at the address identified as such
in the Information Certificate and its only other places of business and the
only other locations of Collateral, if any, during such time periods are the
addresses set forth in the Information Certificate, subject to the rights of
Borrower to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. The
Information Certificate correctly identifies any of such locations which are not
owned by Borrower and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof.

         8.4      Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests
and liens granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security
interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens indicated on
Schedule 8.4 hereto and the other liens permitted under Section 9.8 hereof.
Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to or valid leasehold in all
of its Real Property and good, valid and merchantable title to all of its other
properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages, pledges, security
interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those granted

to Lender and such others as are specifically listed on Schedule 8.4 hereto or
permitted under Section 9.8 hereof.

         8.5      Tax Returns. Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a
timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be
filed by it (without requests for extension except as previously disclosed in
writing to Lender). All information in such tax returns, reports and
declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Borrower has

any Collateral.

                  (b)      Except as set forth on Schedule 8.9 hereto, there has
been no investigation, proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claim, citation
or notice by any governmental authority or any other person nor is any pending

Borrower or the release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any
Hazardous Material or the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation,
manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials or any
other environmental, health or safety matter, which affects Borrower or its
business, operations or assets or any properties at which Borrower has

                  (c)      Borrower does not have any material liability
(contingent or otherwise) in connection with a release, spill or discharge,

         8.10     Employee Benefits.

                  (a)      Borrower has not engaged in any transaction in
connection with which Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates could be subject
to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax
imposed by Section 4975 of the Code, including any accumulated funding
deficiency described in Section 8.10(c) hereof and any deficiency with respect
to vested accrued benefits described in Section 8.10(d) hereof.

                  (b)      No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation has been or is expected by Borrower to be incurred with respect to
any employee benefit plan of Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. There has
been no reportable event (within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA) or any
other event or condition with respect to any employee pension benefit plan of
Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates which presents a risk of termination of
any such plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

                  (c)      Full payment has been made of all amounts which
Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates is required under Section 302 of ERISA
and Section 412 of the Code to have paid under the terms of each employee
benefit plan as contributions to such plan as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal year of such plan ended prior to the date hereof, and no accumulated
funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the
Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any employee benefit plan,
including any penalty or tax described in Section 8.10(a) hereof and any
deficiency with respect to vested accrued benefits described in Section 8.10(d)
hereof.

                  (d)      The current value of all vested accrued benefits
under all employee benefit plans maintained by Borrower that are subject to
Title IV of ERISA does not exceed the current

                                       36

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

value of the assets of such plans allocable to such vested accrued benefits,
including any penalty or tax described in Section 8.10(a) hereof and any
accumulated funding deficiency described in Section 8.10(c) hereof. The terms
"current value" and "accrued benefit" have the meanings specified in ERISA.

                  (e)      Neither Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is
or has ever been obligated to contribute to any "multiemployer plan" (as such
term is defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV of
ERISA.

         8.11     Capitalization.

                  (a)      All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Borrower, each Guarantor, other than PFSweb, and each other subsidiary
of Borrower or any Guarantor are directly and beneficially owned and held by the
entity referenced in Schedule 8.11(a) and all of such shares have been duly
authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all claims,
liens, pledges and encumbrances of any kind, except as disclosed in writing to
Lender. The numeric amount of all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of PFSweb is set forth on Schedule 8.11(a) hereto.

                  (b)      Borrower and Guarantors are each solvent and will
continue to be solvent after the creation of the Obligations, the security
interests of Lender and the other transaction contemplated hereunder, are each
able to pay its respective debts as they mature and has (and has reason to
believe it will continue to have) sufficient capital (and not unreasonably small
capital) to carry on its respective business and all businesses in which it is
about to engage. The assets and properties of Borrower and each Guarantor at a
fair valuation and at their present fair salable value are, and will be, greater
than the indebtedness of Borrower and such Guarantor, as applicable, and
including subordinated and contingent liabilities computed at the amount which,
to the best of such entity's knowledge, represents an amount which can
reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

         8.12     Intellectual Property. Borrower owns or licenses or otherwise
has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the operation of
its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted. As of the date
hereof, Borrower does not have any Intellectual Property registered, or subject
to pending applications, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any
similar office or agency in the United States, any State thereof, any political
subdivision thereof or in any other country, other than those described in
Schedule 8.12 hereto and has not granted any licenses with respect thereto other
than as set forth in Schedule 8.12 hereto. No event has occurred which permits
or would permit after notice or passage of time or both, the revocation,
suspension or termination of such rights. To the best of Borrower's knowledge,
no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance or
other Intellectual Property or goods bearing or using any Intellectual Property
presently contemplated to be sold by or employed by Borrower infringes any
patent, trademark, servicemark, tradename, copyright, license or other
Intellectual Property owned by any other Person presently and no claim or
litigation is pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower contesting its
right to sell or use any such Intellectual Property. Schedule 8.12 hereto sets
forth all of the agreements or other arrangements of Borrower pursuant to which
Borrower has a license or other right to use

any trademarks, logos, designs, representations or other Intellectual Property
owned by another person as in effect on the date hereof and the dates of the
expiration of such agreements or other arrangements of Borrower as in effect on
the date hereof.

         8.13     Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All information
furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in writing to Lender in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, including all information on the Information
Certificate is true and correct in all material respects on the date as of which
such information is dated or certified and does not omit any material fact
necessary in order to make such information not misleading. No event or
circumstance has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse affect on the business, assets or prospects of Borrower,
which has not been fully and accurately disclosed to Lender in writing.

         8.14     Survival of Warranties; Cumulative. All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed
to have been made again to Lender on the date of each additional borrowing or
other credit accommodation hereunder and shall be conclusively presumed to have
been relied on by Lender regardless of any investigation made or information
possessed by Lender. The representations and warranties set forth herein shall
be cumulative and in addition to any other representations or warranties which
Borrower shall now or hereafter give, or cause to be given, to Lender.

including UCC financing statements.

         9.3      Compliance with Laws, Regulations, Etc.

surveys, audits, assessments, feasibility studies and results of remedial
investigations shall be promptly furnished, or caused to be furnished, by
Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall take prompt and appropriate action to respond
to any non-compliance with any of the Environmental Laws and shall regularly
report to Lender on such response.

                  (c)      Borrower shall give both oral and written notice to

Hazardous Materials.

                  (d)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
whenever Lender reasonably determines that there is non-compliance, or any
condition which requires any action by or on behalf of Borrower in order to
avoid any material non-compliance, with any Environmental Law, Borrower shall,
at Lender's request and Borrower's expense: (i) cause an independent
environmental engineer acceptable to Lender to conduct such tests of the site

discharge, disposal or presence of a Hazardous Material, including the costs of
any required or necessary repair, cleanup or other remedial work with respect to

indemnifications in this Section 9.3 shall survive the payment of the
Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

         9.4      Payment of Taxes and Claims. Borrower shall duly pay and
discharge all taxes, assessments, contributions and governmental charges upon or
against it or its properties or assets, except for taxes the validity of which
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued
and available to Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have been
set aside on its books. Borrower shall be liable for any tax or penalties
imposed on Lender as a result of the financing arrangements provided for herein
and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless with respect to the
foregoing, and to repay to Lender on demand the amount thereof, and until paid
by Borrower such amount shall be added and deemed part of the Loans, provided,
that, nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any
income or franchise taxes attributable to the income of Lender from any amounts
charged or paid hereunder to Lender. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the
payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

if Borrower fails to do so, Lender is authorized, but not required, to obtain
such insurance at the expense of Borrower. All policies shall provide for at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation or
reduction of coverage and that Lender may act as attorney for Borrower in
obtaining, and at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, adjusting, settling, amending and canceling such insurance. Borrower
shall cause Lender to be named as a loss payee and an additional insured (but

loss payable endorsements shall specify that the proceeds of such insurance
shall be payable to Lender as its interests may appear and further specify that
Lender shall be paid regardless of any act or omission by Borrower or any of its
affiliates. At its option, Lender may apply any insurance proceeds received by
Lender at any time to the cost of

occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided
in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code
and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised
without notice to or consent by Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice
or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law.
All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder, under any of the
other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law,
are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Lender's discretion,
alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and
shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for
an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Borrower of this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Lender may, at any time or
times, proceed directly against Borrower or any Obligor to collect the
Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

                  (b)      Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event
of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its
discretion and without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations

occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h),
all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii)
with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon
any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take
possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of
all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require Borrower, at Borrower's
expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or all of the
Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender, (iv) collect, foreclose,
receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) remove
any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be
located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition
thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or
otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts
with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker's board,
at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Lender may deem
reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Lender having
the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public
sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of
Borrower, which

right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by
Borrower and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold
or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations
shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally
collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law,
five (5) days prior notice by Lender to Borrower designating the time and place
of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice
thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In the event Lender institutes an
action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might
otherwise be required.

                  (c)      Lender may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral
actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part
and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall
remain liable to Lender for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the
highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or
enforcement, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

                  (d)      Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or an event which with notice or passage of time or both
would constitute an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, without notice,
(i) cease making Loans or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Revolving
Loans available to Borrower and/or (ii) terminate any provision of this
Agreement providing for any future Loans to be made by Lender to Borrower.

Waiver.

                  (a)      The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the
relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas (without
giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

                  (b)      Borrower and Lender irrevocably consent and submit to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Texas and the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Texas and waive any objection based
on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein
arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any
way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties
hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or
the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or
hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree
that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the
courts described above (except that Lender shall have the right to bring any
action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other
jurisdiction which

Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or
to otherwise enforce its rights against Borrower or its property).

                  (c)      Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and
all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on
the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed
five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or,
at Lender's option, by service upon Borrower in any other manner provided under
the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service,
Borrower shall appear in answer to such process, failing which Borrower shall be
deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against Borrower for the
amount of the claim and other relief requested.

                  (d)      BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (II) IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN
RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER
AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION
OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT
BORROWER OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

                  (e)      Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower
(whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower
in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or
relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender, that the losses were
the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In any such litigation, Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of
the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of
ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement.

         11.2     Waiver of Notices. Borrower hereby expressly waives demand,
presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect
to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any
of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral
and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice
to or demand on Borrower which Lender may elect to give shall entitle Borrower
to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

         11.3     Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by
course of conduct, but only by a written

agreement signed by an authorized officer of Lender, and as to amendments, as
also signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Lender shall not, by any act,
delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any
of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and
signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable
only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any
right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise
have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

         11.4     Waiver of Counterclaims. Borrower waives all rights to
interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other
then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating hereto or thereto.

         11.5     Indemnification. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LENDER, AND
ITS DIRECTORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND COUNSEL, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND
ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS OR EXPENSES IMPOSED ON, INCURRED
BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION,
INVESTIGATION, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING COMMENDED OR THREATENED RELATED TO THE
NEGOTIATION, PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ENFORCEMENT, PERFORMANCE OR
ADMINISTRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS, OR ANY
UNDERTAKING OR PROCEEDING RELATED TO ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, EVENT OR TRANSACTION RELATED OR ATTENDANT THERETO,
INCLUDING AMOUNTS PAID IN SETTLEMENT, COURT COSTS, AND THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF
COUNSEL. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UNDERTAKING TO INDEMNIFY, PAY AND HOLD HARMLESS
SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT VIOLATES ANY LAW OR
PUBLIC POLICY, BORROWER SHALL PAY THE MAXIMUM PORTION WHICH IT IS PERMITTED TO
PAY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO LENDER IN SATISFACTION OF INDEMNIFIED MATTERS UNDER
THIS SECTION. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE
OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OR NON-RENEWAL OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 12. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

         12.1     Term.

                  (a)      This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements
shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and
shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the earlier to
occur of (i) the date three (3) years from the date hereof, or (ii) the date on
which the parties to the IBM Master Distributor Agreement shall no longer
operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IBM no longer supplies products
pursuant to such

                                       53

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

agreement to Borrower (the "Renewal Date"), and from year to year thereafter,
unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that, Lender
may, at its option, extend the Renewal Date giving Borrower notice at least
sixty (60) days prior to the Renewal Date. Lender or Borrower (subject to
Lender's right to extend the Renewal Date as provided above) may terminate this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements effective on the Renewal Date or on
the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving to the other party at
least sixty (60) days prior written notice; provided, that, this Agreement and
all other Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. Upon the
effective date of termination or non-renewal of the Financing Agreements,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, in full, all outstanding and unpaid Obligations
and shall furnish cash collateral to Lender in such amounts as Lender determines
are reasonably necessary to secure Lender from loss, cost, damage or expense,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses, in connection with any contingent
Obligations, checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations
and/or as to which Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible payment.
Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be
remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to such bank account of Lender, as
Lender may, in its discretion, designate in writing to Borrower for such
purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next business day, if the
amounts so paid by Borrower to the bank account designated by Lender are
received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time.

                  (b)      No termination of this Agreement or the other
Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its respective
duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and
paid, and Lender's continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights
and remedies of Lender hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements and
applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been
fully and finally discharged and paid.

                  (c)      If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior
to the end of the then current term or renewal term of this Agreement, in view
of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and
by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Lender's
lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, upon the
effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in the amount set
forth below if such termination is effective in the period indicated:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
         Amount                                      Period
         ------                                      ------
<S>                                 <C>
(1) 2.0% of Maximum Credit          From the date hereof to and including March
                                    29, 2003
(2) 1.0% of Maximum Credit          From March 30, 2003 to and including March
                                    29, 2004
(3) .50% of Maximum Credit          From March 30, 2004 and thereafter
</TABLE>

Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages
sustained by Lender as a result of such early termination and Borrower agrees
that it is reasonable under the

                                       54

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.2

circumstances currently existing. In addition, Lender shall be entitled to such
early termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) hereof, even if Lender does not exercise its right
to terminate this Agreement, but elects, at its option, to provide financing to
Borrower or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The early termination fee provided for in this Section 12.1 shall be
deemed included in the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, the early termination fee shall not apply to any early termination
as the result of a complete refinancing of the Loans by First Union National
Bank.

         12.2     Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be
in writing and (a) made to Lender at its address set forth below and to Borrower
at its chief executive office set forth below, or to such other address as
either party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with
this provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in
person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile
transmission, immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by
nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the
next business day, one (1) business day after sending; and if by certified mail,
return receipt requested, five (5) days after mailing.

         12.3     Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as
though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.

         12.4     Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and
any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender, Borrower and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights under
this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred
to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may,
after notice to Borrower, assign its rights and delegate its obligations under
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and further may assign, or
sell participations in, all or any part of the Loans, the Letter of Credit
Accommodations or any other interest herein to another financial institution or
other person, in which event, the assignee or participant shall have, to the
extent of such assignment or participation, the same rights and benefits as it
would have if it were the Lender hereunder, except as otherwise provided by the
terms of such assignment or participation.

         12.5     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing
Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents
delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the
entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and
thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties,
commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter
hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this
Agreement shall govern.

         12.6     NONAPPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE 5069-15.01 ET SEQ. BORROWER AND

         12.7     WAIVER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS
UNDER THE DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES - CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, SECTION 17.41 ET.
SEQ. BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND
PROTECTIONS. AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF THE BORROWER'S OWN
SELECTION, BORROWER VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER. BORROWER EXPRESSLY
WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT THE BORROWER (a) IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY
DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION RELATIVE TO LENDER, AND (b) HAS BEEN REPRESENTED
BY LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT.

                       BORROWER HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS

SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
