                           LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

      Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2005 among ATARI, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and HSBC BUSINESS CREDIT (USA) INC., a
Delaware corporation ("Lender").

      IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and undertakings herein
contained, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows:

I.    DEFINITIONS.

      1.1.  Accounting Terms.

            As used in this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, any Other
Document, or any certificate, report or other document made or delivered
pursuant to this Agreement, accounting terms not defined in Section 1.2 or
elsewhere in this Agreement and accounting terms partly defined in Section 1.2
to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them
under GAAP; provided, however, whenever such accounting terms are used for the
purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in this Agreement,
such accounting terms shall be defined in accordance with GAAP as applied in
preparation of the audited financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005.

      1.2.  General Terms.

            For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

            "Adjusted LIBO Rate" shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan
for any Interest Period a rate of interest equal to:

                  (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate shown on the display
      designated as "RMEY" to subscribers of the Reuters Monitor Money Rates
      Service, or any successor page thereto, as at 11:00 AM (London time)
      rounded upward to the nearest 1/16 of 1%, two Business Days prior to the
      first day of such Interest Period for a term comparable to such Interest
      Period, for deposits of Dollars in an amount equal to the amount of the
      relevant EuroDollar Rate Loan. If for any reason such rate is not
      available, the term "Adjusted LIBO Rate" shall mean, for any Eurodollar
      Loan for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum (rounded
      upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) appearing on Reuters
      Screen LIBO Page as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in
      Dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior
      to the first day of such Interest Period for a term comparable to such
      Interest Period; provided, however, if more than one rate is specified on
      Reuters Screen LIBO Page, the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean
      of all such rates (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of
      1%); divided by

<PAGE>

                  (b) a number equal to 1.0 minus the aggregate (but without
      duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve
      requirements in effect on the day which is two (2) Business Days prior to
      the beginning of such Interest Period (including, without limitation,
      basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations
      of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other
      governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto, as now
      and from time to time in effect) for Eurocurrency funding (currently
      referred to as "Eurocurrency Liabilities" in Regulation D of such Board)
      which are required to be maintained by a member bank of the Federal
      Reserve System; such rate (if greater than zero) to be rounded upward to
      the next whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent (.0625%).

            "Advances" shall mean and include the Revolving Advances and Letters
of Credit.

            "Advance Rates" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.1(a).

            "Affiliate" of any Person shall mean (a) any Person which, directly
or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control
with such Person, or (b) any Person who is a director or officer (i) of such
Person, (ii) of any Subsidiary of such Person or (iii) of any Person described
in clause (a) above. For purposes of this definition, control of a Person shall
mean the power, direct or indirect, (x) to vote 10% or more of the securities
having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person, or
(y) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such
Person whether by contract or otherwise.

            "Agreement" shall mean this Loan and Security Agreement, as amended,
restated, modified and supplemented from time to time.

            "Applicable Margin" shall mean, with respect to Eurodollar Rate
Loans, 1.75%.

            "Base Rate" shall mean a variable rate of interest per annum equal
to the rate of interest from time to time announced by HSBC Bank (or any
successor institution) as its "prime rate" (with the understanding that such
rate may merely be a reference rate and may not necessarily represent the lowest
or best rate actually charged to any customer by such bank).

            "Blocked Accounts" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
4.15(h).

            "Borrower" shall have the meaning set forth in the preamble to this

and acknowledges that decreasing the Advance Rates or increasing the Reserves
may limit or restrict Advances requested by Borrower. Lender shall give Borrower
five (5) days prior written notice of its intention to decrease the Advance
Rates.

      2.2.  Procedure for Borrowing.

            (a) Borrower may notify Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on
a Business Day of Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance
hereunder. Any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or
other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Lender, or any
Issuer, or with respect to any other

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Obligation, which shall become due, shall be deemed a request for an Advance as
of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such
interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement
with Lender and/or any Issuer and such request shall be irrevocable.

            (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) above, in the event
Borrower desires to obtain a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Lender at
least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice, specifying (i) the date of
the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of
borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which
amount shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$500,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period
therefor. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for one, two or
three months. No Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrower during
the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. At no time shall there be
more than THREE Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding, in the aggregate.

            (c) Each Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on
the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as
Borrower may elect as set forth in (b)(iii) above provided that the exact length
of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of
the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall
end after the Termination Date.

            (d) Borrower shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Lender pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Lender pursuant to
Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrower shall elect the duration of each
succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Lender of
such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If Lender
does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrower,
Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan to
a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e).

            (e) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on any Business
Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of
another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion
of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If
Borrower desires to convert a loan, Borrower shall give Lender not less than
three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to convert from a Domestic Rate
Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to
convert from a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying the date
of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a
Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest
Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be
more than three (3) Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding, in the aggregate.

            (f) At its option and upon three (3) Business Days' prior written
notice, Borrower may prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time or in
part from time to

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal
being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Borrower shall specify the date of
prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such
prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan is
required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall indemnify Lender
therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

            (g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from
and against any and all losses or expenses that Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of any payment or prepayment with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Loan on any date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period,
conversion of or any default by Borrower in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan or failure by Borrower to complete a
borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan
after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest
payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or
maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to
Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

            (h) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable
law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender
(for purposes of this Section 2.2(h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender
and the office or branch where Lender or any corporation or bank controlling
such Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain
its Eurodollar Rate Loans, the obligation of Lender to make Eurodollar Rate
Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrower shall, if any affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Lender,
either pay all such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or
conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day
of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower shall
pay Lender, upon Lender's request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to
compensate Lender for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lender in
respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion,
including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by Lender in order to make or maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

      2.3.  Disbursement of Advance Proceeds.

            All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place
Lender may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other
Obligations of Borrower to Lender, shall be charged to Borrower's Account on
Lender's books. During the Term, Borrower may use the Advances by borrowing,
prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. The proceeds of each Advance requested by Borrower or deemed to have
been requested by Borrower under Section 2.2(a) shall, with respect to requested
Advances to the extent Lender makes such Advances, be made available to Borrower
on the day so requested by way of credit to Borrower's operating account at HSBC
Bank (or until such account has been opened, which shall in no event be more
than 10 Business Days following the

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

Closing Date, to such account of Borrower as shall be designated by Borrower to
Lender) following notification to Lender, in immediately available federal funds
or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Advances deemed to have
been requested by Borrower, be disbursed to Lender to be applied to the
outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

amount of Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser

      2.5.  Repayment of Advances.

            (a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the
Termination Date subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

            (b) Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes,
drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral
may not be collectible by Lender on the date received. In consideration of
Lender's agreement to conditionally credit Borrower's Account as of the Business
Day on which Lender receives those items of payment, Borrower agrees that, in
computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed
applied by Lender on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after
confirmation to Lender by the Blocked Account bank, as provided for in Section
4.15(h), that such items of payment have been collected in good funds and
finally credited to Lender's account. Lender is not, however, required to credit
Borrower's Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory
to Lender and Lender may charge Borrower's Account for the amount of any item of
payment which is returned to Lender unpaid.

            (c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable
hereunder, or under any of the related agreements shall be made to Lender at the
Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date therefor
in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to Lender. Lender shall have the right to effectuate
payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging
Borrower's Account or by making Revolving Advances as provided in Section 2.2.

            (d) Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts
payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or
counterclaim.

      2.6.  Repayment of Excess Advances.

            The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time in excess
of the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder shall be immediately due
and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether
or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

<PAGE>

      2.7.  Statement of Account.

            Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures,
a loan account (the "Borrower's Account") in the name of Borrower in which shall
be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Lender and the date and
amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by
Lender to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect
Lender. Borrower will be credited with all amounts received by Lender from the
Blocked Account banks for Borrower's account, and all other amounts received by
Lender in payment of Receivables, and such amounts will be applied to the
payment of the Obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Each month, Lender
shall send to Borrower a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made,
payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between
Lender and Borrower, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed
correct and binding upon Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall
constitute an account stated between Lender and Borrower unless Lender receives
a written statement of Borrower's specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30)
days after such statement is received by Borrower. The records of Lender with
respect to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error
of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable
thereto.

            Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender shall cause the
issuance of commercial and standby letters of credit (collectively, "Letters of
Credit") by the Issuer on behalf of Borrower; provided, however, that Lender
will not be required to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit to the extent
that, if issued, the face amount of such Letter of Credit would then cause the
sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances plus (ii) outstanding Letters of
Credit to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y)
the Formula Amount. The maximum amount available under outstanding Letters of
Credit shall not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. All
disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be
Domestic Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for
Domestic Rate Loans, subject to Section 2.2(e). Letters of Credit that have not
been drawn upon shall not bear interest.

      2.9.  Issuance of Letters of Credit.

            (a) Borrower may request Lender to cause the issuance of a Letter of
Credit by delivering to Lender at the Payment Office, Issuer's standard form of

other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Lender or
Issuer may reasonably request.

            (b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for
the payment of sight drafts or acceptances of issuance drafts when presented for
honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by
the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than
twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance, and in no
event have an expiry date later than the Termination Date unless Borrower
provides cash collateral equal to not less than one hundred five percent (105%)
of the face amount thereof to be held by Lender pursuant to a cash collateral
agreement in form and

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

substance satisfactory to Lender. All Letters of Credit shall be subject to the
laws or rules designated in such Letter of Credit, or if no laws or rules are
designated, the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 500),
and, as to matters not governed thereby, the laws of the State of New York.

      2.10. Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

            (a) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit Borrower
shall indemnify, save and hold Lender and each Issuer harmless from any loss,
cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, payments made by
Lender or any Issuer and expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
Lender or any Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit
to be issued or created for Borrower. Borrower shall be bound by Issuer's
regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued or
created for Borrower's Account, although this interpretation may be different
from its own; and, neither Lender nor any Issuer nor any of their correspondents
shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or
commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained in any
Letter of Credit or of any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or
in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit except for Lender's, any Issuer's or
such correspondents' gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" therein, to deliver to Lender all
related payment/acceptance advices, to deliver to Lender all instruments,

agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of
Credit or the application therefor.

            Any sums expended by Lender due to Borrower's failure to perform or
comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document
including, without limitation, Borrower's obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.4,
4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1, may be charged to Borrower's Account as a Revolving
Advance and added to the Obligations.

      2.12. Prepayments.

            (a) When Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral
other than Inventory in the ordinary course of business, Borrower shall repay
the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross
proceeds less the reasonable costs of such sales or other dispositions and all
taxes related to such sales), such repayments to be made promptly but in no
event more than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such net proceeds,
and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Lender.
The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale
otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall
be applied to the outstanding Revolving Advances in such order as Lender may
determine, subject to Borrower's ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in
accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that, that so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be first
applied to Domestic

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

Rate Loans before being applied to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral not to exceed $500,000 in
any single transaction and $2,500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year and
retain such net proceeds solely to acquire replacement Collateral without making
a mandatory prepayment hereunder so long as (a) the fair market value of the
acquired Collateral is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the
Collateral which was sold, (b) the acquired Collateral is purchased by Borrower
within thirty (30) days of the sale of the Collateral, (c) the acquired
Collateral shall be deemed to be acceptable Collateral by Lender in its
reasonable discretion, (d) the acquired Collateral shall be subject to Lender's
first priority security interest created hereunder and (e) until such time as
the proceeds are used to acquire such replacement Collateral, at Lender's
option, either (i) such proceeds shall be held by Lender as cash collateral for
the Obligations pursuant to terms acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion or
(ii) such proceeds shall be applied as a repayment of Revolving Advances and a
reserve against loan availability under Section 2.1(a) in the amount of such
repayment shall be established. Such cash collateral or loan availability
reserve, as the case may be, shall be released by Lender only in connection with
the making of a Revolving Advance to be used by Borrower solely for the purposes
of funding the acquisition of replacement Collateral pursuant to the terms of
this Section 2.12; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall waive
or modify any conditions to the making of Revolving Advances or any other
provisions of this Agreement. If Borrower fails to meet the conditions set forth
above Lender may apply the proceeds held by Lender as a prepayment of the
Advances in the manner set forth above.

            (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.11, Lender shall apply
the proceeds of any insurance settlements from casualty losses which are
received by Lender to the outstanding Advances in such order as Lender may
determine, subject to Borrower's ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in
accordance with the terms hereof.

            (c) Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business
Day's notice to Lender, to terminate this Agreement without premium or penalty
and prepay the Obligations in whole (but not in part). The effective date of
termination specified in such notice shall be the Termination Date.

      2.13. Use of Proceeds.

            Borrower shall apply the proceeds of (i) Revolving Advances made on
the Closing Date to (x) repay existing Indebtedness owed under the Existing Loan
Agreement , and (y) pay fees and expenses relating to this Agreement, and (ii)
Revolving Advances made on and after the Closing Date to provide for Borrower's
working capital needs.

III.  INTEREST AND FEES.

      3.1.  Interest.

            Interest on Advances shall be payable to Lender in arrears on the
first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period. Interest charges
shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Revolving Advances
outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to the applicable

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

Revolving Interest Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the
Base Rate is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic
Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an
amount equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate during the time such
change or changes remain in effect. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and during the continuation thereof, (i) the Obligations other than
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for
Domestic Loans plus two percent (2.0%) per annum and (ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans
plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (as applicable, the "Default Rate").

      3.2.  Letter of Credit Fees; Cash Collateral.

            (a) Borrower shall pay (i) to Lender fees for each Letter of Credit
that is a standby Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of
issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal
to the average daily face amount of each outstanding such standby Letter of
Credit multiplied by two (2.0%) per annum, such fees to be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first day of each of August, November, February and
May, and on the last day of the Term and (ii) to the Issuer, any and all fees
and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrower in connection with
any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, in connection with the
opening, amendment, maintenance or renewal of any such Letter of Credit (it
being acknowledged and understood by Borrower that the current fee of HSBC Bank
for the payment and negotiation of a Letter of Credit is the greater of (x) .25%
of the amount of such payment and (y) $95.00) and shall reimburse Lender for any
and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Lender to any Issuer (all of the
foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). All Letter of Credit Fees shall be
deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder
and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this
Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular
transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any
subsequent change in the Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of
transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during
the continuation thereof, Lender may increase the Letter of Credit Fees under
clause (i) of this Section 3.2 by two percent (2.0%) per annum. All Letter of
Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when
the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or
proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

            (b) At any time that an Event of Default set forth in Section 10.1
has occurred and is continuing, Borrower will cause cash to be deposited and
maintained in an account with Lender, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to
one hundred and five percent (105%) of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender, in its discretion, on Borrower's
behalf and in Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain
deposits therein, or in an account opened by Borrower, in the amounts required
to be made by Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral
or out of any other funds of Borrower coming into Lender's possession at any
time. Lender will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such
short-term money-market items as to which Lender and Borrower mutually agree and
the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and
constitute additional cash collateral. Borrower may not withdraw amounts
credited

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

to any such account except upon payment and performance in full of all
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

      3.3.  Loan Fees.

            (a) Closing Fee. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Borrower
shall pay to Lender a closing fee of $50,000.

            (b) Facility Fee. If, for any period during the Term, the average
daily unpaid balance of the Advances for each day of such period is less than
the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee at
a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the amount by
which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid
balance during such period. Such fee shall be payable to Lender in arrears on
the first day of January, April, July and October of year, and on the
Termination Date.

      3.4.  Collateral Fees.

            (a) Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender, for its
own account, an annual collateral monitoring fee equal to $30,000 per year,
which fee shall be deemed earned in full and payable on the Closing Date and not
subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason.

            (b) Collateral Evaluation Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the
first day of each month following any month in which Lender performs any
collateral evaluation, namely any field audit, collateral analysis or other
business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Lender and which
evaluation is undertaken by Lender or for Lender's benefit, a collateral
evaluation fee in an amount equal to $5,000 per evaluation so long as no Event
of Default has occurred or is then continuing, plus all reasonable costs and
disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith; provided however, that
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
not be required to pay for more than three (3) field audits per year. Lender may
perform field audits of the Collateral from time to time during normal business
hours on reasonable notice as it determines to be necessary, subject to the
proviso set forth in the previous sentence.

      3.5.  Computation of Interest and Fees.

            Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made
hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest
thereon shall be payable at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans
during such extension.

      3.6.  Maximum Charges.

            In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged
hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest
and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate
permitted under law, such excess amount

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower, and if
the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal
balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the
provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

      3.7.  Increased Costs.

            In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental
regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term
"Lender" shall include Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Lender)
and the office or branch where Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any
Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other
authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date, shall:

                  (a) subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
      respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of
      taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other
      amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes
      in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender by the jurisdiction
      in which it maintains its principal office);

                  (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
      deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or
      deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit
      extended by, any office of Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant
      to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;
      or

                  (c) impose on Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market
      any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document;

      and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender
      of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount
      that Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment
      (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the
      Advances by an amount that Lender deems to be material, then, in any case
      Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon its demand, such additional
      amount as will compensate Lender for such additional cost or such
      reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply
      to increased costs which are reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Lender
      will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid
      the need for, or reduce the amount of such compensation pursuant to this
      Section and will not, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, be otherwise
      disadvantageous to Lender. Lender shall certify the amount of such
      additional cost or reduced amount to Borrower, and such certification
      shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      3.8.  Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

            In the event that Lender shall have determined that:

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

                  (a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
      Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period; or

                  (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
      relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar
      market, with respect to an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, a proposed
      Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan
      into a Eurodollar Rate Loan,

then Lender shall give Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice
of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrower
shall notify Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business
Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such
borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate
Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have been
converted to an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or
converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Lender, no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar
Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Lender, no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last
Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected
Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Eurodollar
Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lender
shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan or
maintain outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have
the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Eurodollar
Rate Loan into an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan.

      3.9.  Capital Adequacy.

            (a) In the event that Lender shall have determined that any
applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (for purposes
of this Section 3.9, the term "Lender" shall include Lender and any corporation
or bank controlling Lender) and the office or branch where Lender (as so
defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case that becomes
effective after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder
to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's and each Lender's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be
material, then, from time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. In
determining such amount or amounts, Lender may use any reasonable averaging or
attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or
inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.

            (b) A certificate of Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as
shall be necessary to compensate Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) when
delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

IV.   COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS.

      4.1.  Security Interest in the Collateral.

            To secure the prompt payment and performance to Lender and Issuer of
the Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Lender and each
Issuer, a continuing security interest in and to all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Borrower shall mark its books and
records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect
Lender's security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect
such security interest.

      4.2.  Perfection of Security Interest.

            (a) Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary or
desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain
the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Lender's security
interest in the Collateral or to enable Lender to protect, exercise or enforce
its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i)
immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii)
obtaining landlords' or mortgagees' lien waivers, (iii) delivering to Lender,
endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Lender may specify,
and stamping or marking, in such manner as Lender may specify, any and all
chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents
evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing,
lockbox, bailee and other custodial arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
Lender, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, instruments of
pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, relating to the creation, validity, perfection,
maintenance or continuation of Lender's security interest under the UCC or other
applicable law; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to
deliver waivers from its licensors.

            (b) Lender may at any time and from time to time file, without the
signature of Borrower in accordance with Section 9-509 of the UCC, financing
statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the
Collateral as "all assets other than the Excluded Assets" of Borrower and which
contain any other information required by the UCC for the sufficiency or filing
office acceptance of any financing statements, continuation statements or
amendments. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly
upon request.

            (c) Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time, take such
steps as Lender may reasonably request (i) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of any bailee having possession
of any of the Collateral,

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

stating that the bailee holds such Collateral for Lender, (ii) to obtain
"control" of any letter-of-credit rights, deposit accounts or electronic chattel
paper (as such terms are defined in the UCC with corresponding provisions
thereof defining what constitutes "control" for such items of Collateral), with
any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection
and priority of Lender's security interest in any of the Collateral and of its
rights therein. If Borrower shall at any time, acquire a "commercial tort claim"
(as such term is defined in the UCC) in excess of $100,000 individually or in
the aggregate, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing, therein
providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery
thereof to Lender, Borrower shall be deemed to thereby grant to Lender (and
Borrower hereby grants to Lender) a security interest and lien in and to such
commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and
governed by this Agreement.

            (d) All reasonable charges, expenses and fees Lender may incur in
doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be
charged to Borrower's Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the
Obligations, or, at Lender's option, shall be paid to Lender immediately upon
demand.

      4.3.  Disposition of Collateral.

            Borrower will safeguard and protect all Collateral for Lender's
general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or
otherwise except (a) the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business,
(b) the disposition or transfer of obsolete and worn-out Equipment in the
ordinary course of business during any fiscal year having an aggregate fair
market value of not more than $500,000 in any single transaction and $2,500,000
in the aggregate in any fiscal year, and only to the extent that (i) the
proceeds of any such disposition are used to acquire replacement Equipment which
is subject to Lender's first priority security interest or (ii) the proceeds of
such disposition are remitted to Lender as a prepayment on Revolving Advances,
as required by Section 2.12; (c) the licensing in the ordinary course of its
business of intellectual property, other than where the grant of such license
would prohibit Borrower from continuing to retain full rights in such
intellectual property; and (d) the disposition of assets and operations
identified to Lender in writing on or prior to the Closing Date, and only to the
extent that the proceeds of any such disposition are immediately remitted to
Lender as a prepayment on Revolving Advances. Lender shall deliver to Borrower,
promptly upon demand, such Lien releases and other documents as Borrower shall
reasonably request to enable Borrower to dispose of free of Lender's Lien the
Collateral permitted hereby to be disposed of by Borrower.

      4.4.  Preservation of Collateral.

            Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section
11.1, Lender: (a) may at any time take such steps as Lender deems necessary to
protect Lender's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the
hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection
measures as Lender may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at
Borrower's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts
necessary to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease
warehouse facilities to which Lender may

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use Borrower's owned or leased
lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing
the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress
and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over
and through Borrower's owned or leased property. Borrower shall cooperate fully
with all of Lender's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such
actions to preserve the Collateral as Lender may direct. All of Lender's
reasonable expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses
relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrower's Account
as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

      4.5.  Ownership of Collateral.

            With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes
subject to Lender's security interest: (a) Borrower shall be the sole owner of
and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first
priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in each and every
item of its respective Collateral to Lender; and, except for Permitted
Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and
encumbrances whatsoever; (b) each document and agreement executed by Borrower or
delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct
in all respects; (c) all signatures and endorsements of Borrower that appear on
such documents and agreements shall be genuine and Borrower shall have full
capacity to execute same; and (d) Borrower's Equipment and Inventory shall be
located as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.5 or any other location with respect to which
Lender has (i) been provided with not less than ten (10) days prior written
notice, (ii) given its consent to Collateral being located at such location,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) received such landlord
or other waivers as it deems necessary, and in each case shall not be removed
from such location(s) without the prior written consent of Lender, except with
respect to the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and
Equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4.3 or this Section 4.5.

      4.6.  Defense of Lender's Interests.

            Until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations
and (b) termination of this Agreement, Lender's interests in the Collateral
shall continue in full force and effect. During such period Borrower shall not,
without Lender's prior written consent, pledge, sell (except Inventory in the
ordinary course of business and Equipment to the extent permitted in Section
4.3), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or
allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances,
any part of the Collateral. Borrower shall defend Lender's interests in the
Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever (subject to Permitted
Encumbrances). At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to take possession of the
indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form
contained, including without limitation: labels, stationery, documents,
instruments and advertising materials. If Lender exercises this right to take
possession of the Collateral, Borrower shall, upon demand, assemble it in the
best manner possible and make it available to Lender at a place reasonably
convenient to Lender. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Lender shall
be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further
provided by the UCC or other applicable law. At any time following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall,
upon notification from Lender, and Lender may, at its option, instruct all

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash,
checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Lender holds a security
interest to deliver same to Lender and/or subject to Lender's order and if they
shall come into Borrower's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by
Borrower in trust as Lender's trustee, and Borrower will immediately deliver
them to Lender in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

      4.7.  Books and Records.

            Borrower shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which
full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of
or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its books accruals
with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (c) on a
reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances
against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and all other proper
accruals (including without limitation by reason of enumeration, accruals for
premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation,
obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from
such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to
this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP
consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as
shall then be regularly engaged by Borrower.

      4.8.  Financial Disclosure.

            Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants
and auditors employed or retained by Borrower at any time during the Term to
exhibit and deliver to Lender copies of any of Borrower's financial statements,
trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant's or
auditor's possession, and to disclose to Lender any information such accountants
may have concerning Borrower's financial status and business operations,
provided, however, that (i) Borrower shall be given notice of any request made
under this Section to accountants and auditors not employed by it at the same
time such request is communicated to such accountants and auditors, (ii)
Borrower shall be permitted to participate in any discussions between Lender and
such accountants and auditors, (iii) and Borrower shall not have any obligations
to Lender as a result of the refusal of such accountants or auditors to comply
with any request of Lender hereunder notwithstanding the direction and
authorization of Borrower pursuant to this Section. Borrower hereby authorizes
all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Lender copies of
reports or examinations relating to Borrower, whether made by Borrower or
otherwise; however, Lender will attempt to obtain such information or materials
directly from Borrower prior to obtaining such information or materials from
such accountants or such authorities.

      4.9.  Compliance with Laws.

            Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all acts, rules,
regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or
official applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of
Borrower's business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The assets of Borrower shall at all times be
maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which
provide

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

insurance with respect to the assets of Borrower so that such insurance shall
remain in full force and effect.

      4.10. Inspection of Premises.

            At all reasonable times upon reasonable notice Lender shall have
full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and
copies from Borrower's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other
papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of Borrower's business.
Lender and its agents may enter upon any of Borrower's premises at any time
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice, for the purpose of
inspecting the Collateral (including, without limitation, for the purpose of
appraising the Inventory) and any and all records pertaining thereto and the
operation of Borrower's business. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower
acknowledges that Lender intends to undertake three (3) field audits each fiscal
year, as provided in Section 3.4(b), and may perform interim appraisals of the
Inventory, all at Borrower's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may
cause additional field audits during normal business hours on reasonable notice
to be undertaken, as Lender it in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or
appropriate, which additional audits shall be at Lender's expense unless a
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.

      4.11. Insurance.

            Borrower shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature
whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At Borrower's own cost and expense in
amounts and with carriers acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall (a) keep all its
insurable properties and properties in which Borrower has an interest insured
against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by
extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is
customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to Borrower's
including, without limitation, business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a
bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in
businesses similar to Borrower insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other
criminal misappropriation of insured's officers and employees who may either
singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of
Borrower either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to
direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product
liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage
suffered by others; (d) maintain all such worker's compensation or similar
insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in
which Borrower is engaged in business; and (e); and furnish Lender with (i)
copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the
renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (ii)
appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, naming Lender as a co-insured and loss payee as its
interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in
clauses (a) (with respect to the Collateral), and (c) above, and providing (A)
that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Lender, (B) no such insurance
shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property
described in such policy, and (C) that such policy and loss payable clauses may
not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice is given to Lender. In the event of any loss thereunder, the
carriers named therein hereby are directed by Lender and Borrower to make
payment for such loss to Lender and not to Borrower and Lender jointly. If any
insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to
Borrower and Lender

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

jointly, Lender may endorse Borrower's name thereon and do such other things as
Lender may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Lender is hereby
authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to
in clauses (a) (with respect to the Collateral), and (c) above. All loss
recoveries received by Lender upon any such insurance may be applied to the
Obligations, in such order as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine;
provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
such repayments shall be first applied to Domestic Rate Loans before being
applied to Eurodollar Rate Loans . Any surplus shall be paid by Lender to
Borrower or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Anything hereinabove to
the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions
set forth below, Lender shall remit to Borrower insurance proceeds received by
Lender during any calendar year under insurance policies procured and maintained
by Borrower which insure Borrower's Equipment to the extent such insurance
proceeds do not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate during such calendar year or
$25,000 per occurrence. In the event the amount of insurance proceeds received
by Lender for any occurrence exceeds $25,000, then Lender shall not be obligated
to remit such insurance proceeds to Borrower unless Borrower shall provide
Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the insurance
proceeds will be used by Borrower within thirty (30) days of Borrower's receipt
of such insurance proceeds to repair, replace or restore the insured Equipment
which was the subject of the insurable loss. In the event Borrower has
previously received (or, after giving effect to any proposed remittance by
Lender to Borrower would receive) insurance proceeds which equal or exceed
$50,000 in the aggregate during any calendar year, then Lender may, in its sole
discretion, either remit the insurance proceeds to Borrower upon Borrower
providing Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the
insurance proceeds will be used by Borrower within thirty (30) days of
Borrower's receipt of such insurance proceeds to repair, replace or restore the
insured Equipment which was the subject of the insurable loss, or apply the
proceeds to the Obligations, as aforesaid. The agreement of Lender to remit
insurance proceeds in the manner above provided shall be subject in each
instance to satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (x) no Event of
Default or Default shall then have occurred and be continuing, (y) Borrower
shall use such insurance proceeds to repair, replace or restore the insured
Equipment which was the subject of the insurable loss and for no other purpose
and (z) until such time as Borrower shall use such insurance proceeds for such
repair, replacement or restoration, at Borrower's option, either (a) such
proceeds shall be held by Lender as cash collateral for the Obligations pursuant
to terms acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion or (b) such proceeds shall
be applied as a repayment of Revolving Advances. Such cash collateral shall be
released by Lender only if used by Borrower solely for the purposes of such
repair, replacement or restoration; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall waive or modify any conditions to the making of Revolving Advances
or any other provisions of this Agreement.

      4.12. Failure to Pay Insurance.

            If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to
keep the same in force, Lender, if Lender so elects, may obtain such insurance
and pay the premium therefor for Borrower's Account, and charge Borrower's
Account therefor and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

      4.13. Payment of Taxes.

            Borrower will pay, when due, all income and other material taxes,
assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon Borrower or any
of the Collateral including, without limitation, real and personal property
taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social
security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes, except, in each case to the
extent such taxes, assessments and charges are being contested in good faith and
so long as any Lien arising therefrom is a Permitted Encumbrance. If any tax by
any governmental authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any
transaction between Borrower and Lender which Lender may be required to withhold
or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the
date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Lender's
opinion, creates a valid Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on the
Collateral, Lender may, after providing not less than ten (10) days notice to
Borrower, pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and Borrower hereby
indemnifies and holds Lender harmless in respect thereof. The amount of any
payment by Lender under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to Borrower's Account
as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations and, until Borrower shall
furnish Lender with an indemnity therefor (or supply Lender with evidence
satisfactory to Lender that due provision for the payment thereof has been
made), Lender may hold without interest any balance standing to Borrower's
credit and Lender shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral
held by Lender.

      4.14. Payment of Leasehold Obligations.

            Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due (after giving
effect to any applicable grace period), its rental obligations under all leases
under which it is a tenant of Real Property where Collateral is located, and
shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such
leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Lender's request will
provide evidence of having done so.

      4.15. Receivables.

            (a) Nature of Receivables. Each of the Receivables shall be a bona
fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the
Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating
thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed
to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of
goods upon stated terms of Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore
rendered by Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be
due and owing in accordance with Borrower's standard terms of sale without
dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts
receivable schedules delivered by Borrower to Lender.

            (b) Solvency of Customers. Each Customer, to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, will be able to pay all
Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due or with respect
to such Customers of Borrower who are not solvent Borrower has set up on its
books and in its financial records bad debt reserves in accordance with GAAP to
cover such Receivables.

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

            (c) Locations of Borrower. Borrower's chief executive office is
located at the address set forth on SCHEDULE 4.15(C). Until written notice is
given to Lender by Borrower of any other office at which Borrower keeps its
records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such
executive office and such other locations as are set forth on SCHEDULE 4.15(C).

            (d) Collection of Receivables. Until Borrower's authority to do so
is terminated by Lender (which notice Lender may give at any time following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Default or
when Lender in its sole discretion deems it to be in Lender's best interest to
do so), Borrower will, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, but on Lender's
behalf and for Lender's account, collect as Lender's property and in trust for
Lender all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such
collections with Borrower's funds or use the same except to pay Obligations.
Borrower shall, upon request, deliver to Lender, or deposit in the Blocked
Account, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks,
drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other items received by
Borrower in respect of Receivables.

            (e) Notification of Assignment of Receivables. At any time following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall
have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Lender's security
interest in, the Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding
or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Lender shall have
the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or
both. Lender's reasonable collection expenses, including, but not limited to,
stationery and postage, telephone and telecopy, secretarial and clerical
expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may
be charged to Borrower's Account and added to the Obligations.

            (f) Power of Lender to Act on Borrower's Behalf. Lender shall have
the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Lender or
Borrower any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of
money relating to the Receivables, and Borrower hereby waives notice of
presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Borrower
hereby constitutes Lender or Lender's designee as Borrower's attorney with power
(x) at all times (i) to endorse Borrower's name upon any notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii)
to sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the
Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of
Receivables; (iii) to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer; and
(iv) to sign Borrower's name on all documents or instruments deemed necessary or
appropriate by Lender to preserve, protect, or perfect Lender's interest in the
Collateral and to file same; (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (i) to demand payment of the Receivables; (ii) to enforce
payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (iii) to exercise
all of Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the
Receivables and any other Collateral; (iv) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend
or renew the Receivables; (v) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal
proceedings brought to collect Receivables; (vi) to prepare, file and sign
Borrower's name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against
any Customer; and (vii) to prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any notice
of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection
with the Receivables; and (z) at all times to do all other acts and things
necessary to carry out this

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and
approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of
omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of
law, unless done with willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence; this
power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations
remain unpaid. Lender shall have the right at any time following the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default to change the address for
delivery of mail addressed to any Borrower to such address as Lender may
designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower.

            (g) No Liability. Lender shall not, under any circumstances or in
any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of
any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the
Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage
resulting therefrom other than results from Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default or Default, Lender may, without notice or consent from Borrower, sue
upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle
for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Receivables or any other
securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any
obligor thereof. Lender is authorized and empowered to accept, following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the return of the
goods represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by
Borrower, all without discharging or in any way affecting Borrower's liability
hereunder.

            (h) Establishment of Lockbox Accounts. Borrower shall establish and
maintain, at its expense, lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either
case, "Blocked Accounts"), as Lender may specify in its sole discretion, with
such banks as are acceptable to Lender into which Borrower shall promptly
deposit, and shall direct its account debtors to directly remit, all cash and
other payments received by Borrower (or, in the case of account debtors, payable
to Borrower), including, without limitation, all payments in respect of
Receivables, all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other
Collateral, all tax, duty and other cash refunds, and all other cash payments,
in each case in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by
cash, check or other manner. The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are
established shall enter into agreements, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, providing that all items received or deposited in the
Blocked Accounts are the property of Lender held for the benefit of Lender, that
the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to setoff against, the Blocked
Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time
on deposit therein, (other than for charges related to the Blocked Account,
checks or other items returned due to insufficient funds or any other reason,
and daylight overdrafts) and that the depository bank will wire, or otherwise
transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, all funds received
or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account of Lender as Lender
may from time to time designate for such purpose. Borrower agrees that all
payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by
Lender, whether on the Receivables, as proceeds of Inventory or other
Collateral, or otherwise shall be the property of Lender held for the benefit of
Lender.

            (i) Adjustments. Borrower will not, without Lender's consent,
compromise or adjust any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or
accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances
or credits thereon except for those

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have
been heretofore customary in the business of Borrower.

      4.16. Inventory.

            To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by
Borrower, it has been and will be produced by Borrower in compliance in all
material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended,
and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder.

      4.17. Maintenance of Equipment.

            The Equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition and
repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and
repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of the
Equipment shall be maintained and preserved. Borrower shall not use or operate
the Equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or
regulation, except such violations which could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall have the right to sell Equipment
to the extent set forth in Section 4.3.

      4.18. Exculpation of Liability.

            Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Lender as
Borrower's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Lender be responsible or
liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of
the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause
thereof. Lender shall not, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or
otherwise, assume any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement
assigned to Lender, and Lender shall not be responsible in any way for the
performance by Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

      4.19. Environmental Matters.

            Borrower shall comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to it
and shall not place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real
Property except such noncompliance or placement as is not reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.20. Financing Statements.

            Except for the (i) financing statements described on SCHEDULE 7.2
and (ii) financing statements in favor of GECC, as agent under the Existing Loan
Agreement, all of which are being terminated on the Closing Date, no financing
statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in
any public office.

V.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

                                      -35-

      5.1.  Authority.

            Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to enter into
this Agreement and the Other Documents and to perform all its respective
Obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and of the Other Documents (a) are within Borrower's corporate
powers, have been duly authorized, are not in contravention of law or the terms
of Borrower's certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other applicable
documents relating to the conduct of Borrower's business or of any material
agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is
bound, and (b) will not conflict with nor result in any breach in any of the
provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any
Lien except Permitted Encumbrances upon any asset of Borrower under the
provisions of any agreement, charter document, instrument, by-law, or other
instrument to which Borrower or its property is a party or by which it may be
bound.

      5.2.  Incorporation and Qualification.

            (a)   Borrower is duly incorporated and in good standing under the
laws of the state of Delaware and is qualified to do business and is in good
standing in the states listed on SCHEDULE 5.2(a) which constitute all states in
which qualification and good standing are necessary for Borrower to conduct its
business and own its property and where the failure to so qualify could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The exact State
organizational number of Borrower is set forth on SCHEDULE 5.2(a). Borrower has
delivered to Lender true and complete copies of its certificate of incorporation
and by-laws and will promptly notify Lender of any amendment or changes thereto.

            (b)   The only Subsidiaries of Borrower are listed on SCHEDULE

      5.3.  Survival of Representations and Warranties.

            All representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this
Agreement and the Other Documents shall be true at the time of Borrower's

execution, delivery and acceptance thereof by the parties thereto and the
closing of the transactions described therein or related thereto.

      5.4.  Tax Returns.

            Borrower's federal tax identification number is set forth on
SCHEDULE 5.4. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.4, Borrower has filed all
federal, state and local income, franchise and other material tax returns and
other reports it is required by law to file and has paid all income, franchise

tax returns of Borrower have been examined and reported upon by the appropriate
taxing authority or closed by applicable statute and satisfied for all tax years
prior to and including the tax year ending September 30, 2000. The provision for
taxes on the books of Borrower is adequate in accordance with GAAP for all years
not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current fiscal

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

year, and Borrower has no knowledge of any deficiency or additional assessment

      5.5.  Financial Statements.

            Borrower has heretofore furnished to Lender (i) the audited
consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows,
audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent certified public accountants, as

Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements and for
the periods to which they relate (subject, in the case of interim financial
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Since December 31, 2004, no

of its Subsidiaries which are not reflected or disclosed on such financial
statements.

      Document, now or hereafter entered into between Borrower and Lender (to

      this Article X for which a different grace or cure period is specified or

            10.14. (i) Any Governmental Body shall (A) revoke, terminate,
      suspend or adversely modify any license, permit, patent trademark or

            10.15. Any Eligible Inventory, Eligible Receivable (to the extent
      supporting Revolving Advances under Section 2.1(a)(y)) or material portion
      of the Collateral of the Collateral shall be seized or taken by a

      this Agreement or the Other Documents;

            10.16. An event or condition specified in Section 7.16 or Section
      9.11 shall occur or exist with respect to any Plan and, as a result of

      in the opinion of Lender be reasonably likely to incur, a liability to a
      Plan or the PBGC (or both) which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender,
      would have a Material Adverse Effect.

XI.   LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

      11.1. Rights and Remedies.

            Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section
X.10.7, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement
and the obligation of

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

Lender to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other
Events of Default and at any time thereafter (such default not having previously
been cured), at the option of Lender all Obligations shall be immediately due
and payable and Lender shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to
terminate the obligation of Lender to make Advances and (iii) a filing of a
petition against Borrower in any involuntary case under any state or federal
bankruptcy laws, the obligation of Lender to make Advances hereunder shall be
terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all other
rights and remedies provided for herein, under the UCC and at law or equity
generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the security
interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available
judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the
Collateral with or without judicial process. Lender may enter Borrower's
premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability
to Borrower therefor, and Lender may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in
its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same
to such place as Lender may deem advisable and Lender may require Borrower to
make the Collateral available to Lender at a convenient place. With or without
having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Lender may sell the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or
place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms,
either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Lender may elect. Except as to
that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall
give Borrower reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed
that in all events written notice mailed to Borrower at least ten (10) days
prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale
Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Lender or any other purchaser
at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from
any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and
such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower, to
the extent permitted by law. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of
title or the like at any sale of Collateral. In connection with the exercise of
the foregoing remedies, Lender is granted permission to use all of Borrower's
trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, licenses,
franchises and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with (a)
Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for
the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods.

      11.2. Application of Proceeds.

            The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be
applied as follows: first, to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred by Lender for collection and for acquisition, completion,
protection, removal, storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral; second, to
interest due upon any of the Obligations; third, to fees payable in connection
with this Agreement; fourth, to furnish to Lender cash collateral in an amount
not less than 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit,
such cash collateral arrangements to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender; and, fifth, to the principal of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall
arise, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender therefor. If it is determined by
an authority of competent jurisdiction that a disposition by Lender did not
occur in a commercially reasonably manner, Lender may obtain a deficiency
judgment for the difference between the amount of the Obligation and the amount
that a commercially reasonable

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

sale would have yielded. Lender will not be considered to have offered to retain
the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations unless Lender has entered into
a written agreement with Borrower to that effect.

      11.3. Lender's Discretion.

            Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine
which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Lender may at any time
pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with
respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any
of Lender's rights hereunder.

      11.4. Setoff.

            In addition to any other rights which Lender or any Issuer may have
under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
Lender and such Issuer shall have a right to apply Borrower's property held by
Lender or such Issuer to reduce the Obligations.

      11.5. Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive.

            The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended
to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the
exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise
provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

XII.  WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

      12.1. Waiver of Notice.

            Borrower hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the
Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any
and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances
made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action
taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description,
except such as are expressly provided for herein.

      12.2. Delay.

            No delay or omission on Lender's part in exercising any right,
remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or
option or of any default.

      12.3. Jury Waiver.

            EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED
IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH
CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT
OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND
THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF
THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

      12.4. Lender's Right to Arbitrate.

            (a)   BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY ACTION, DISPUTE, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE ("DISPUTE" OR "DISPUTES") SHALL, AT LENDER'S ELECTION, WHICH ELECTION
MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY
LENDER, OR IN THE EVENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY BORROWER AT ANY
TIME PRIOR TO THE LAST DAY TO ANSWER AND/OR RESPOND TO A SUMMONS AND/OR
COMPLAINT MADE BY BORROWER, BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.4 AND SHALL, AT THE ELECTION
OF LENDER, INCLUDE ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS OR
INSTRUMENTS, (II) ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AGREEMENTS INVOLVING THE PARTIES,
(III) ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE PARTIES, AND (IV) ANY ASPECT OF THE PAST, PRESENT OR
FUTURE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. LENDER MAY ELECT TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF
ANY DISPUTE WITH BORROWER WITHOUT THEREBY BEING REQUIRED TO ARBITRATE ALL
DISPUTES BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER. ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY
BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 75 OF THE NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE
LAW AND RULES AND THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION
ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). In the event of any inconsistency between such Rules and
these arbitration provisions, these provisions shall supersede such Rules. All
statutes of limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any
arbitration proceeding under this Section 12.4(a). In any arbitration proceeding
subject to these provisions, the arbitration panel (the "arbitrator") is
specifically empowered to decide (by documents only, or with a hearing, at the
arbitrator's sole discretion) pre-hearing motions which are substantially
similar to pre-hearing motions to dismiss and motions for summary adjudication.
In any such arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not have the power or
authority to award punitive damages to any party. Judgment upon the award
rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Whenever an
arbitration is required, the parties shall select an arbitrator in the manner
provided in Section 12.4(d).

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

            (b)   No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under, Section
12.4(a) shall limit the right of any party (i) to foreclose against any real or
personal property collateral through judicial foreclosure, by the exercise of a
power of sale under a deed of trust, mortgage or other security agreement or
instrument, pursuant to applicable provisions of the UCC, or otherwise pursuant
to applicable law, (ii) to exercise self help remedies including but not limited
to setoff and repossession, or (iii) to request and obtain from a court having
jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration,
provisional or ancillary remedies and relief including but not limited to
injunctive or mandatory relief or the appointment of a receiver. The institution
and maintenance of an action or judicial proceeding for, or pursuit of,
provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self help remedies shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of Lender, even if Lender is the plaintiff, to
submit the Dispute to arbitration if Lender would otherwise have such right.

            (c)   Lender may require arbitration of any Dispute concerning the
lawfulness, unconscionableness, propriety, or reasonableness of any exercise by
Lender of its right to take or dispose of any collateral or its exercise of any
other right in connection with collateral including, without limitation,
judicial foreclosure, exercising a power of sale under a deed of trust or
mortgage, obtaining or executing a writ of attachment, taking or disposing of
property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC or
otherwise as permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any such exercise by
Lender.

            (d)   Whenever an arbitration is required under Section 12.4(a), the
arbitrator shall be selected, except as otherwise herein provided, in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. A single arbitrator shall
decide any claim of $100,000 or less and he or she shall be an attorney with at
least five years' experience. Where the claim of any party exceeds $100,000, the
Dispute shall be decided by a majority vote of three arbitrators, at least two
of whom shall be attorneys (at least one of whom shall have not less than five
years' experience representing commercial banks). The arbitrator shall have the
power to award recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys' fees,
administrative fees, arbitrator's fees, and court costs) to the prevailing
party.

            (e)   In the event of any Dispute governed by this Section 12.4,
each of the parties shall, subject to the award of the arbitrator, pay an equal
share of the arbitrator's fees.

XIII. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

      13.1. Term.

            This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of Borrower and
Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full
force and effect until the earliest of (w) May 31, 2006, (x) the acceleration of

"Termination Date").

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

      13.2. Termination.

            The termination of the Agreement shall not affect Lender's rights,
or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of
such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative
until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations
have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests,
Liens and rights granted to Lender hereunder and the financing statements filed
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrower's Account may from time
to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the
Obligations of Borrower have been paid or performed in full after the
termination of this Agreement or Borrower has furnished Lender with an
indemnification satisfactory to Lender with respect thereto. Accordingly,
Borrower waives any rights which it may have under Section 9-513 of the UCC to
demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and
Lender shall not be required to send such termination statements to Borrower, or
to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have
been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid in full in
immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers
and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all
Obligations are paid or performed in full.

XIV.  MISCELLANEOUS.

      14.1. Governing Law.

            This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly
within the State of New York. Subject to Lender's rights under Section 12.4, any
judicial proceeding brought by or against Borrower with respect to any of the
Obligations, this Agreement or any related agreement may be brought in any court
of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America,
and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower accepts for itself
and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be
bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement.
Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and
consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return
receipt requested) directed to Borrower at its address set forth in Section 14.6
and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall
have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at
Lender's option, by service upon Borrower which Borrower irrevocably appoints as
Borrower's Lender for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New
York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against
Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Borrower waives any objection
to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not
assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum
non conveniens. Subject to Lender's rights under Section 12.4, any judicial
proceeding by Borrower against Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any
matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this
Agreement or any related

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the City
of New York, State of New York.

      14.2. Entire Understanding; Amendments.

            This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith
contain the entire understanding between Borrower and Lender and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein
contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing,
signed by Borrower's, Lender's and each Lender's respective officers. Neither
this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified,
amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by
any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing,
signed by the party to be charged. Borrower acknowledges that it has been
advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other
Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

      14.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

            (a)   This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Borrower, Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of Lender.

            (b)   Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial
finance business Lender may at any time and from time to time sell participating
interests in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee
or purchaser of a participating interest, a "Transferee"). Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the Other
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of the Loan Documents.

            (c)   Lender may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its

banks or financial institutions and one or more additional banks or financial
institutions may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"),
in minimum amounts of not less than $1,000,000, provided that so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred, such sale, assignment or transfer
shall not be made without the prior consent of Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

            (d)   Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any Transferee or
Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing Lender any and
all financial information in Lender's possession concerning Borrower which has
been delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
or in connection with Lender's credit evaluation of Borrower, provided such
Transferee or Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing
Lender agrees in writing to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this
Agreement.

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

      14.4. Application of Payments.

            Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or
reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any
portion of the Obligations; provided that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such payments shall be first applied to Domestic
Rate Loans before being applied to Eurodollar Rate Loans. To the extent that
Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the
Collateral for Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

      14.5. Indemnity.

            Borrower shall indemnify Lender, each Issuer, and each of their
respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees and agents from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of
counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any
litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any
governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any
aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter
related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Lender is a
party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party being indemnified.

      14.7. Survival.

            The obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.2(g), 3.7, 3.9, and
14.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and
payment in full of the Obligations.

      14.8. Severability.

            If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or
deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be
inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or
invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be
given effect so far as possible.

      14.9. Expenses.

            All costs and expenses including, without limitation:

                  (a)   reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by
      Lender (i) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any Obligation or
      effect collection of any Collateral, or (ii) in connection with the
      negotiation, preparation and entering into, modification, amendment,
      administration and enforcement of this Agreement or any consents or
      waivers hereunder and all related agreements, documents and instruments,
      or (iii) in instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and
      foreclosing on Lender's security interest in or Lien on any of the
      Collateral, whether through judicial proceedings

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

      or otherwise, (iv) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings
      arising out of or relating to Lender's transactions with Borrower, (v) in
      connection with determining which Inventory constitutes Eligible Inventory
      and obtaining appropriate waivers from licensors and other Persons in
      connection therewith, or (vi) in connection with any advice given to
      Lender with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
      all related agreements; and

                  (b)   fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
      with determining which Inventory constitutes Eligible Inventory, and
      appraisals of Inventory or other Collateral, field examinations,
      collateral analysis or monitoring or other business analysis conducted by
      outside Persons in connection with this Agreement and all related
      agreements;

may be charged to Borrower's Account and shall be part of the Obligations.

      14.10. Injunctive Relief.

            Borrower recognizes that, in the event Borrower fails to perform,
observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement,
any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender; therefore,
Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual
damages are not an adequate remedy.

      14.11. Consequential Damages.

            None of Lender, Issuer, nor any agent or attorney for any of them,
shall be liable to Borrower for consequential damages arising from any breach of
contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or
collection of the Obligations.

      14.12. Captions.

            The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for
convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of
this Agreement.

      14.13. Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures.

            This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different
parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall
be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission
shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

      14.14. Construction.

            The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have
reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or
exhibits thereto.

      14.15. Confidentiality.

            Lender shall hold all non-public information obtained by Lender
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Lender's
customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature;
provided, however, Lender may disclose such confidential information (i) to its
examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional
advisors, (ii) subject to an agreement in writing containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any prospective Transferees
and Purchasing Lenders, and (iii) as required or requested by any Governmental
Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further
that (x) unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Lender
shall use reasonable efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify Borrower of
the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a
Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with an examination of the financial condition of Lender by such
Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (y) in no event shall
Lender be obligated to return any materials furnished by Borrower other than
those documents and instruments in possession of Lender in order to perfect its
Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this
Agreement has been terminated.

      14.16. Publicity.

            Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make appropriate announcements
of the financial arrangement entered into among Borrower and Lender including,
without limitation, announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in
such publications and in such form as is approved in writing advance by
Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
