<PAGE>
2.2 Upon the occurrence of and during an Event of Default (as defined
herein), interest shall thereafter be calculated at a rate of five percent (5%)
in excess of the rate that would otherwise be applicable ("Default Rate"). All
such interest shall be due and payable in arrears, on the first day of the
following month.
2.3 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Note(s), or
any other "Loan Document" (as defined herein), it is not the parties' intent to
contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the
maximum rate permissible by law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall
deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of Illinois shall be
deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial
loans) (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Borrower actually pays Lender an amount of
interest, chargeable on the total aggregate principal Secured Obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement and the Note(s) (as said rate is calculated over a
period of time that is the longer of (i) the time from the date of this
Agreement through the maturity time as set forth on the Note(s), or (ii) the
entire period of time that any principal is outstanding on the Note(s)), which
amount of interest exceeds interest calculated at the Maximum Rate on said
principal chargeable over said period of time, then such excess interest
actually paid by Borrower shall be applied first, to the payment of principal
-----
outstanding on the Note(s); second, after all principal is repaid, to the
------
payment of Lender's out of pocket costs, expenses, and professional fees which
are owed by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents; and
third, after all principal, costs, expenses, and professional fees owed by
-----
Borrower to Lender are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to
Borrower.
2.4 In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder,
delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on
interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.
2.5 Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder
(as defined herein), all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest,
compounded interest, and reasonable professional fees, shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
2.6 Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Loan, in whole or in
part, without penalty or premium, after 12 months from the Closing Date by
paying the principal amount thereon together with all accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to such principal amount, as of the date of such
prepayment, without premium. In the event Borrower prepays the Note(s) within 12
months from the Closing Date hereof, Borrower shall pay the principal amount
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and a prepayment premium equal to
1% of the then outstanding principal amount ("the Prepayment Penalty"),
provided, however, in the event of an initial public offering of Borrower's
-------
stock, the Prepayment Penalty shall not apply.
2.7 If the Borrower has not repaid the outstanding principal amount
under the Loan in its entirety by the Maturity Date (as defined in the
applicable Note(s)), then for each additional month, or portion thereof,
thereafter that the outstanding principal is not paid, Lender shall have the
right to purchase from the Borrower, at the Exercise Price (adjusted, as set
forth and defined in the Warrant Agreement), an additional number of shares of
Preferred Stock (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) which number shall be
determined by (i) multiplying the outstanding principal amount which is due but
unpaid by 1% and (ii) dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price.

2.8 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Lender's obligations to provide the Loan(s) shall terminate on the earlier of
(i) January 7, 2000 or (ii) the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect pursuant
to Section 1.22, and no Advance Requests shall be accepted after such date,
unless otherwise waived by Lender ("Draw Period"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the Borrower closes a private equity round for a minimum
of Ten Million and No/l00 Dollars ($l0,000,000.00) with a price per share no
less than $4.50 ("Next Round"), Borrower may request an extension of the Draw
Period for an additional nine (9) months ("Extended Draw Period"), such Extended
Draw Period will only be available upon: (i) written request by Borrower and
(ii) the issuance to Lender of a Series C Preferred Stock warrant for an
aggregate purchase price of $450,000 divided by the Exercise Price, with the
same terms and conditions as the Warrant Agreement defined herein and attached
hereto as Exhibit C. The Exercise Price shall be defined as equal to the price
per share of the Next Round.

from any legal process, liens or encumbrances whatsoever (except any placed
thereon by Lender and other Permitted Liens) and shall give Lender immediate
written notice thereof.
6.5 Without Lender's prior written consent, such consent to be given no
later than four (4) days after Lender receives notice by Borrower, Borrower
shall not, outside the ordinary course of business, but not to exceed $250,000,
(a) grant any material extension of the time of payment of any of the
Receivables, (b) to any material extent, compromise, compound or settle the same
for less than the full amount thereof, (c) release, wholly or partly, any person
liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever
thereon other than trade discounts granted in the ordinary course of business of
Borrower.
6.6 Borrower shall maintain and protect its properties, assets and
facilities, including without limitation, its Equipment and Fixtures, in good
order and working repair and condition (taking into consideration ordinary wear
and tear) and from time to time make or cause to be made all necessary and
proper repairs, renewals and replacements thereto and shall competently manage
and care for its property in accordance with prudent industry practices.
6.7 Borrower shall not merge with and into any other entity; or sell or
convey all or substantially all of its assets or stock to any other person or

Borrower's Secured Obligations hereunder to the successor entity in form

and substance satisfactory to Lender. In the event Lender does not consent to
such assignment the parties agree Borrower shall prepay the Loan in accordance
with Section 2.6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby consents

of at least ten (10) times the remaining Loan payments and Lender shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a Merger in other cases.
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Merger" shall mean any consolidation or
merger of the Borrower with or into any other corporation or entity, any sale or

consent not to be unreasonably withheld, declare or pay any cash dividend or
make a distribution on any class of stock, other than pursuant to employee
repurchase plans upon an employee's death or termination of employment or
transfer, sell, lease, lend or in any other manner convey any equitable,
beneficial or legal interest in any material portion of the assets of Borrower
(except inventory sold in the normal course of business).
6.9 Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall, during business hours,
make the Inventory and Equipment available to Lender for inspection at the place
where it is normally located and shall make Borrower's log and maintenance
records pertaining to the Inventory and Equipment available to Lender for
inspection. Borrower shall take all action necessary to maintain such logs and
maintenance records in a correct and complete fashion.
6.10 Borrower covenants and agrees to pay when due, all taxes, fees or
other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or
penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against Borrower, Lender or the
Collateral or upon Borrower's ownership, possession, use, operation or
disposition thereof or upon Borrower's rents, receipts or earnings arising
therefrom. Borrower shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal
property tax returns in respect of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
taxes for which Borrower maintains adequate reserves therefor.

sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business) except: (i) with prior
written notice of the Lender not to be unreasonably withheld; and (ii) if such

SECTION 10. REMEDIES
Upon the occurrence and continuation hereof of any one or more Events of
Default, Lender, at its option, may declare the Note(s) to be accelerated and
immediately due and payable, (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default of the type described in 9.4 or 9.5, the Note(s) and all other Secured
Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable without
any further act) whereupon the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such
Note shall become immediately due and payable, and shall thereafter bear

granted pursuant hereto for such Note(s), or otherwise available to it under
applicable law, including the right to release, hold or otherwise dispose of all

costs and professionals' and advisors' fees and expenses;
Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the
Secured Obligations in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its
sole discretion; and
Finally, upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, to
Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct.
The Lender shall return to the Borrower any surplus Collateral remaining after
payment of all Secured Obligations.

11.1 Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any unpaid Secured
Obligations, advances, costs, charges and expenses, together with interest
thereon and shall pay the same immediately to Lender at Lender's offices.
11.2 The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to
protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender
to exercise any such powers.
11.3 This is a continuing Agreement and the grant of a security interest
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and
remedies of Lender hereunder shall continue to exist until the Secured
Obligations are paid in full as the same become due and payable. When Borrower
has paid in full all Secured Obligations, Lender will, promptly but in no event
later than ten (10) days, upon request of Borrower, execute a written
termination Statement, reassigning to Borrower, without recourse, the Collateral
and all rights conveyed hereby and return possession (if Lender has possession)
of the Collateral to Borrower. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender
hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by
statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of
the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a
waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender. Furthermore,
regardless of whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where such
rights, powers and remedies are asserted, Lender shall have the rights, powers
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.
11.4 Upon payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the Lender shall
cancel the Note(s), this Agreement and all UCC financing statements, if any, and
shall promptly deliver all such canceled documents to the Borrower.

11.12 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.13 CONFIDENTIALITY. Lender acknowledges that certain items of
Collateral, including, but not limited to trade secrets, source codes, customer
lists and certain other items of intellectual Property, and any Financial
Statements provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof, constitute proprietary and
confidential information of the Borrower (the "Confidential Information").
Accordingly, lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in
the course of acquiring, perfecting or foreclosing on the Collateral or
otherwise provided under this Agreement, provided such Confidential Information
is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure or is oral
information which is confirmed in writing and marked as confidential with thirty
(30) days following disclosure, shall be received in the strictest confidence

benefit of, Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not
assign its obligations under this Agreement, the Note(s) or any of the other
Loan Documents without Lender's express written consent and any such attempted
assignment shall be void and of no effect. Any assignment by Borrower in
connection with a "Merger" (as defined below) shall be subject to Lender's prior
consent. Any consent granted by Lender shall be conditioned upon such surviving
entity or transferee assuming Borrower's Secured Obligations hereunder pursuant
to assignment documents reasonably acceptable to Lender. If Lender reasonably
withholds its consent to such assignment in connection with a Merger, the
outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be prepaid in whole
in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Merger" shall mean any
consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into any other corporation or
entity, any sale or conveyance of an or substantially all of the assets or stock
of the Borrower by or to any other person or entity in which Borrower is not the
surviving entity.

delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
