2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 PROMISE TO PAY. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to

Agreement, Bank agrees to lend to Borrower, from time to time prior to the
Commitment Termination Date, equipment advances (each an "Equipment Advance"
and collectively the "Equipment Advances") in an aggregate amount not to exceed
the Committed Equipment Line. When repaid, the Equipment Advances may not be
re-borrowed. The proceeds of the Equipment Advances shall be used solely to
reimburse Borrower for the purchase of Eligible Equipment purchased within

Eligible Equipment) of the Equipment Advance and to purchase new Eligible
Equipment. Bank's obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate, at Bank's

any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of
Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this
Agreement.

on the first Business Day of the month following the month in which the Funding
Date occurs (or commencing on the Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first
Business Day of the month) with respect to such Equipment Advance and continuing

successive calendar month (each a "Payment Date"). All unpaid principal and
accrued interest is due and payable in full on the last Payment Date with
respect to such Equipment Advance. Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern

Day. An Equipment Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(e)
and 2.2(g).
(b) Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Equipment Advance until the Equipment Advance
has been paid in full, fixed at the per annum rate of interest equal to the
Basic Rate determined by Bank as of the Funding Date for each Equipment Advance
in accordance with the definition of the Basic Rate. Any amounts outstanding
during the continuance of an Event of Default shall bear interest at a per annum
rate equal to the Basic Rate plus five percent (5%)(the "Default Rate").
(c) Interim Payment. In addition to the Scheduled
Payments, on the Funding Date for each Equipment Advance (unless the Funding
Date is the first Business Day of the month) Borrower shall pay to the Bank,
interest on the amount of the Equipment Advance at the applicable Basic Rate
calculated for the number of days from the actual Funding Date of the Equipment
Advance until the first day of the month following such Equipment Advance.
(d) Final Payment. On the Maturity Date with respect to
each Equipment Advance, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the unpaid principal
and accrued interest end all other amounts due on such date with respect to such
Equipment Advance, an amount equal to the Final Payment.
(e) Prepayment Upon an Event of Loss. If any Financed
Equipment is subject to an Event of Loss and Borrower is required to or elects
to prepay the Equipment Advance with respect to such Financed Equipment pursuant
to Section 6.8, then such Equipment Advance shall be prepaid to the extent and
in the manner provided in such section.

9 BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. When an Event of Default occurs and
continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable
(but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all
Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by
Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for
Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Make any payments and do any acts it considers
necessary and reasonable to protect its security interest in the
Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and
make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the
Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the
Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all
expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy
any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights
or remedies;
(d) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and
deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to
or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral
Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to
use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, mask
works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar
property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection
with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's
benefit; and
(f) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank
as its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) sign Borrower's name on any
invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors;
(ii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies;
and (iii) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the
Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to
sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default
has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under
no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank's foregoing
appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.2 and clauses (i) to
(iii) shall only apply as it relates to the Collateral.
9.3 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are
Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at
the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank
shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's
waiver of any Event of Default.
10
<PAGE>
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as the Bank complies
with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of collateral, the
Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the
value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman,
bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction
of the Collateral.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE: Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has
all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's
exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any
Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver,
election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed
by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for
which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND WAIVER. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which
Borrower is liable.

related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an
