Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:

its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to

money or assets, (b) purchase, create or acquire any interest in any
other enterprise or entity, or (c) incur any obligation as surety or
guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.
CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(a) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (b) Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent,
files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a
bankrupt; (c) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower's financial
condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any

other loan with Lender; or (e) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even
though no Event of Default shall have occurred.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all

(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
<PAGE>
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
Default on Indebtedness. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when
due on the Loans.
Other Defaults. Failure of Borrower or any Grantor to comply with or to
perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents, or
failure of Borrower to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
between Lender and Borrower.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under
this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
material respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or
misleading at any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
any Security Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security
Interest) at any time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a
receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the
benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower, any
creditor of any Grantor against any collateral securing the
Indebtedness, or by any governmental agency. This includes a
garnishment, attachment, or levy on or of any of Borrower's deposit
accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor, as the case may
be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the
basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, and if Borrower or
Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond for the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its
option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's
estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the
guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure the
Event of Default.
Change In Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
Year 2000 Compliance Failure. Failure to meet the deadlines required in
the Year 2000 Compliance Agreement to be Year 2000 Compliant or a
reasonable likelihood that Borrower cannot be Year 2000 Compliant on or
before December 31, 1999.
Insecurity. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been
given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12)
<PAGE>
months, it may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if
Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice
from Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default
within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen
(15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's
sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter
continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient
to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur,
except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related
Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this
Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately
will terminate (including any obligation to make Loan Advances or
disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately
will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to
Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall
be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the
rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at
law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable
law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election
to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of
Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:
Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment
to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
or amendment.
Applicable Law. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and
accepted by Lender in the State of Minnesota. If there is a lawsuit,
Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of
the courts of HENNEPIN County, the State of Minnesota. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Minnesota.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for
convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define
the provisions of this Agreement.
Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to
Borrower shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of
the persons signing below is responsible for all obligations in this
Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation
whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any
information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any
other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any
rights to privacy it may have with respect to such matters. Borrower
additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation
interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such
participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of
any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute
owners of such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights
granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the
sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all
rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against
Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and
unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce
Borrower's obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or
Insolvency of any holder of any Interest in the Loans. Borrower further
agrees that the purchaser of any such participation Interests may
enforce its Interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses
that Borrower may have against Lender.
<PAGE>
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification
and collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made
pursuant to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect
the Loans and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that
amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law,
Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not
there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay
or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection
services. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all
other sums provided by law.
Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile (unless otherwise
required by law), and shall be effective when actually delivered or
when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier or
deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid,
addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address
shown above. Any party may change its address for notices under this
Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,
specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's
address. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more
than one Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all
Borrowers. For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at
all times of Borrower's current addresse(es).
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible,
any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be
within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the
offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all
other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain
valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of
any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including
without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word
"Borrower" as used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates
of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no
circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to
make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any subsidiary or
affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower
shall not, however, have the right to assign its rights under this
Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of
Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by
Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument
delivered by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by Lender and will survive the
making of the Loan and delivery to Lender of the Related Documents,
regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on Lender's behalf.
Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of
this Agreement.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.
No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or
constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict
compliance with that provision or any other provision of this
Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between
<PAGE>
Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any obligations of
Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions. Whenever the
consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of
such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in
all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.

DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. ALL CORPORATE ASSETS PER COMMERCIAL SECURITY
AGREEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 14, 1997.
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS. RENEW WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT.
PROMISE TO PAY. CODA MUSIC TECHNOLOGY, INC. ("Borrower") promises to pay to
RIVERSIDE BANK ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on February 14, 2000. In addition, Borrower
will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest beginning March 14,
1999, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each month
after that. The annual interest rate for this Agreement is computed on a 365/360
basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of
360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay
Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Agreement is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the PRIME
RATE OF INTEREST AS PUBLISHED EACH BUSINESS DAY IN THE MONEY RATES SECTION OF
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest
rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the
term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to
Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's
request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each DAY. The
Index currently is 7.750% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the
unpaid principal balance of this Agreement will be at a rate of 1.000 percentage
point over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 8.750% per annum. NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Agreement be more than the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges
are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund
upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as
<PAGE>
otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early
payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.
Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this
Agreement or any agreement related to this Agreement, or in any other agreement
or loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading
in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished. (d)
Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's
property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (e) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's
property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a
garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. (f) Any guarantor dies or
any of the other events described in this default section occurs with respect to
any guarantor of this Agreement. (g) A material adverse change occurs in
Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. (h) Lender in good faith deems
itself insecure.
If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has
not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement
within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of
default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from
Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15)
days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient
to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and
necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably
practical.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Agreement and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due,
without notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay
someone else to help collect this Agreement if Borrower does not pay. Borrower
also will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under
applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or
not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for
bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay
or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.
If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by law. This Agreement has been delivered to
Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of Minnesota. If there is a lawsuit,
Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the
courts of HENNEPIN County, the State of Minnesota. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Agreement against any and all such accounts.
LINE OF CREDIT. This Agreement evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances
under this Agreement may be requested either orally or in writing by Borrower or
by an authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral
requests be confirmed in writing. All communications, instructions, or
<PAGE>
directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's
office shown above. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a)
advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (b)
credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance
owing on this Agreement at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this
Agreement or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.
Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this Agreement if: (a)
Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any
agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender, including any
agreement made in connection with the signing of this Agreement; (b) Borrower or
any guarantor ceases doing business or is insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks,
claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor's
guarantee of this Agreement or any other loan with Lender; (d) Borrower has
applied funds provided pursuant to this Agreement for purposes other than those
authorized by Lender; or (e) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure under
this Agreement or any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
CONTINUING VALIDITY. Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of
the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or
securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender's right to strict
performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any
future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction
of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties
all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation
parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or
endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this
Agreement. If any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this
Agreement below, than all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement
is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the
non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or
otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any
initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent
actions.
LOAN AGREEMENT. AN EXHIBIT, TITLED "LOAN AGREEMENT," IS ATTACHED TO THIS NOTE
AND BY THIS REFERENCE IS MADE A PART OF THIS NOTE JUST AS IF ALL THE PROVISIONS,
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT HAD BEEN FULLY SET FORTH IN THIS

SPECIAL PROVISION. NO ADVANCES SHALL BE MADE PRIOR TO THE RECEIPT OF THE 1998
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH SHALL HAVE NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE FROM

or remedies under this Agreement without losing them. Borrower and any other
person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Agreement, to the extent allowed
by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor.
Upon any change in the terms of this Agreement, and unless otherwise expressly
stated in writing, no party who signs this Agreement, whether as maker,
guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.
All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any
length of time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or
impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the
collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the
consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may
modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party
with whom the modification is made.
