     is necessary to correct any information set forth or described by it
     hereunder or thereunder which has been rendered inaccurate thereby.

               (c) Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of
     Borrower in this Agreement, in any other Loan Document or in any statement
     or certificate given in writing pursuant thereto or in connection therewith
     is false, misleading or incomplete in any material respect when made (or
     deemed to have been made);

               (d) Borrower or the Subsidiaries fails or neglects to perform,

                                       7
<PAGE>

               (e) Borrower or the Subsidiaries shall commence a voluntary case
     or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief
     with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
     other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of
     a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it
     or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such
     relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official
     in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall
     make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail
     generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate
     action to authorize any of the foregoing; provided, however, that any of
     the foregoing acts by or with respect to a Subsidiary shall not be an Event
     of Default if, and only if, such act will not adversely affect, impair or
     subordinate the Borrower's ability to repay the Loan;

               (f) An involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
     against the Borrower or the Subsidiaries seeking liquidation,

     if, and only if, such act will not adversely affect, impair or subordinate
     the Borrower's ability to repay the Loan; or

               (g) This Agreement, for any reason (other than the satisfaction
     in full of all amounts owing in connection with the Loan) ceases to be, or
     is asserted by Borrower or the Subsidiaries not to be, a legal, valid and
     binding obligation of Borrower or the Subsidiaries, enforceable in
     accordance with its terms, and such occurrence has not been cured to
     Lender's satisfaction within five (5) calendar days after Borrower or the
     Subsidiaries receives notice thereof from Lender.

          9.2  Remedies of Lender.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing or shall exist, the principal amount outstanding of the Loan and
interest accrued thereon shall be immediately due and payable without
presentment demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.

     10.  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF LOAN

          10.1  Right to Transfer.  Lender shall not have the right or power to
sell, exchange, transfer (with or without consideration), assign or otherwise
dispose of (such

                                       8
<PAGE>

actions being collectively referred to in this Agreement as "Transfers") the
Loan, or any interest therein, except:

               (a) Transfers pursuant to a firmly underwritten public offering
     of the Borrower's common stock on a Form S- 1, Form SB- I or Form SB-2
     Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     under the Securities Act with respect to which the Borrower receives net
     proceeds of at least $10,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering") or
     Transfers to any member or other equity owner of Lender or any person or
     entity dud, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries,
     controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the Lender
     (an "Affiliated Entity"); provided, however, that any such Affiliated
     Entity shall agree in a writing deposited with the Borrower prior to such
     Transfer to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as the "Lender"
     hereunder.

               (b) Transfers in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2
     below.

          10.2  Transfer of Loan.

               (a) Except for Transfers permitted by the provisions of Section
     10.1 (a) above, the Lender shall not Transfer the Loan unless the
     consideration for such Transfer consists solely of cash and unless the
     Lender has first given each of the common stockholders of the Borrower the
     right to purchase the Loan by delivering to the common stockholders a
     written offer (the "Offer") to sell the Loan to each and every one of the
     other common stockholders, which Offer (i) shall remain open for at least
     thirty (30) days from the date of its transmittal (the "Offer Period"),
     (ii) shall state its exact termination date, and (iii) shall state the
     identity of the proposed transferee, the price, closing date and all other
     material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Offer shall be
     on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer.

               (b) The Offer may be accepted by any of the common stockholders,
     (any stockholder so accepting shall be referred to herein as a "Subscribing
     Stockholder") only by giving written notice of acceptance delivered to the
     Lender prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, provided that the
     Subscribing Stockholders collectively shall have accepted the Offer to
     purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan. Each Subscribing
     Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase that fraction of the Loan equal
     to the fraction obtained by dividing the sum of the number of shares of
     common stock which such Subscribing Stockholder owns by the aggregate
     number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. Following the
     foregoing allocation, if any fraction of the Loan remains unallocated and
     all Subscribing Stockholders' subscriptions have not been filled, the
     balance of the Loan shall be iteratively allocated by the Borrower among
     the Subscribing Stockholders whose

                                       9
<PAGE>

     subscriptions have not been filled, pro rata based upon the foregoing
     fractions or as mutually agreed to between Subscribing Stockholders, until
     either the entire balance of the Loan has been allocated, or all
     subscriptions have been filled.

               (c) Upon termination of the Offer Period, provided that the
     Subscribing Stockholders collectively shall have accepted the Offer to
     purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan, the Borrower shall give
     written notice to that effect to all Subscribing Stockholders, stating the
     fraction of the Loan allocated to each Subscribing Stockholder, and the
     Transfer of the Loan shall thereafter be effected between the Lender and
     the Subscribing Stockholders upon all of the applicable terms and
     conditions set forth in the Offer.

               (d) To the extent the entire balance of the Loan has not been
     fully subscribed by the common stockholders, pursuant to the terms and
     conditions of Section 11.2(b) above, prior to the expiration of the Offer
     Period, the Lender shall be free for a period of ninety (90) days beginning
     the day immediately following the day on which the Offer Period expires to
     sell to the proposed transferee identified in the Offer the Loan, provided
     that such sale must be at the same price, and upon the other terms and
     conditions specified in the Offer.

               (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
     Lender shall not be permitted to Transfer the Loan to a person (or a person
     which is controlled by, under common control with, or controls such person)
     that competes directly with one or more of the lines of business of the
     Borrower or the Subsidiaries as conducted at the time of such Transfer,
     unless such Transfer has been approved by at least four of the five
     authorized directors of the Borrower.

     11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          11.1  Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations
and warranties contained herein or made pursuant to this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents shall survive until the termination of this Agreement.

or freight charges prepaid), or on the fourth day following deposit in the
