2. FINANCING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
2.1. REQUEST FOR ADVANCES. During the Facility Period,
Borrower may offer accounts receivable to Bank and request that the Bank finance
such accounts receivables, if there is not an Event of Default. Borrower will
deliver an Invoice Transmittal for each accounts receivable it offers. Bank may
rely on information on or with the Invoice Transmittal.
2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Bank is not obligated
to finance any accounts receivable. Bank may approve any Account Debtor's
credit before agreeing to finance any accounts receivable. When Bank agrees to
finance a receivable, it will extend credit to Borrower in an amount up to the
result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the receivable (the
"Advance"). Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, change the percentage of the
Advance Rate for a particular receivable on a case by case basis. When Bank
makes an Advance, the receivable becomes a "Financed Receivable." All
representations and warranties in Section 6 must be true as of the date of the
Invoice Transmittal and of the Advance and no Event of Default exists or would
occur as a result of the Advance. The aggregate face amount of all Financed
Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount. Although
Bank's obligation to make an Advance is discretionary in each instance, Bank
acknowledges that (subject to verifications and other terms and conditions
provided herein with respect to Account Debtors generally), it is the usual
practice of Bank to finance accounts receivable due and owing from those Account
Debtors that are Fortune 1000 type companies.
3. COLLECTIONS, FINANCE CHARGES, REMITTANCES AND FEES. The
Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Fees and
Finance Charges may, in Bank's discretion, be charged as an Advance, and shall
thereafter accrue fees and Finance Charges as described below. Bank may, in its
discretion, charge fees and Finance Charges to Borrower's deposit account
maintained with Bank.
3.1. COLLECTIONS. Collections will be credited to the Financed
Receivables Balance, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply
Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a
payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non Financed Receivable, the funds
will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is not an Event
of Default, the excess will be remitted to the Borrower, subject to Section 3.7.
3.2. FINANCE CHARGES. In computing Finance Charges on the
Financed Receivables Balance, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed
applied by Bank on account of the Obligations three (3) Business Days after
receipt of the Collections. On each Reconciliation Day, Borrower will pay a
finance charge (the "Finance Charge"), which is equal to the greater of (i) the
Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days in the
Reconciliation Period multiplied by the outstanding average daily Financed
Receivable Balance for that Reconciliation Period, or (ii) the Minimum Finance
Charge.
3.3. FACILITY FEE. A fully earned, non-refundable facility
fee of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000.00 ) is due upon execution of this
Agreement.
3.4. COLLATERAL HANDLING FEE. On each Reconciliation Day,
Borrower will pay to Bank a collateral handling fee, equal to 0.25% per month of
the average daily Financed Receivable Balance outstanding during the applicable
Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee
will increase an additional 0.25% effective immediately before the Event of
Default.
3.5. ACCOUNTING. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will
provide an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period,
including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments,
Finance Charges, Collateral Handling Fee and the Facility Fee. If Borrower does
not object to the accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it is considered
correct. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are calculated on the
basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.
3.6. DEDUCTIONS. Bank may deduct fees, Finance Charges and
other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Advances made or
Collections received by Bank.
-5-
<PAGE>
3.7. ACCOUNT COLLECTION SERVICES. All Borrower's receivables
are to be paid to the same address/or party and Borrower and Bank must agree
on such address. If Bank collects all receivables and there is not an Event of
Default or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of
Default, within three (3) days of receipt of those collections, Bank will give
Borrower the receivables collections it receives for receivables other than
Financed Receivables and/or amount in excess of the amount for which Bank has
made an Advance to Borrower, less any amount due to Bank, such as the Finance
Charge, the Facility Fee, other fees and expenses, or otherwise. This Section
does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than to turn
over amounts. All receivables and collections are Collateral and if an Event of
Default occurs, Bank need not remit collections of Collateral and may apply them
to the Obligations.
3.8. GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. Borrower has paid to Bank a Good
Faith Deposit of $20,000.00 to initiate Bank's due diligence review process.
Any portion of the deposit not utilized to pay expenses will be applied to the
Facility Fee.
4. REPAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.
4.1. REPAYMENT ON MATURITY. Borrower will repay each Advance
on the earliest of: (a) payment of the Financed Receivable in respect which the
Advance was made, (b) the Financed Receivable becomes an Ineligible Receivable,
(c) when any Adjustment is made to the Financed Receivable (but only to the
extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable is not otherwise an
Ineligible Receivable), or (d) the last day of the Facility Period (including
any early termination). Each payment will also include all accrued Finance
Charges on the Advance and all other amounts due hereunder.
4.2. REPAYMENT ON EVENT OF DEFAULT. When there is an Event of
Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, in an Event of Default under
Section 9(B), immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the
Advances. The demand may, at Bank's option, include the Advance for each
Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, the Early
Termination Fee, Collateral Handling Fee, attorneys and professional fees, court
costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.
4.3. EARLY TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be
terminated prior to the last day of the Facility Period as follows: (i) by
Borrower, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is
given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time with notice to Borrower after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, effective immediately. If this Agreement is
terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence
or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a termination fee
in an amount equal to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000.00) (the "Early
Termination Fee"). The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the
effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if: (i) Bank
agrees to refinance and redocument this Agreement under another division of the
Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the last day of the
Facility Period, or (ii) Borrower terminates this Agreement within thirty (30)
days of the Closing Date, as a result of the Bank's failure to finance invoices
requested by Borrower, or (iii) Borrower terminates this Agreement as a result
of Bank's failure to consent to a transaction pursuant to Section 6.4(D).
5. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its
successors and assigns it attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank:
(I) during an Event of Default, to:
(A) sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
compromise, or discharge all or any part of the
Financed Receivables;
(B) demand, collect, sue, and give releases
to any Account Debtor for monies due and compromise,
prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or
proceeding about the Financed

claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank's or Borrower's
name, as Bank chooses; and

and pursuant to the terms of a certain Subordination
Agreement between the Bank, the Borrower and Atlantic
Investors, LLC, and transactions that are in the
ordinary course of Borrower's business, upon fair and
reasonable terms that are no less favorable to
Borrower than would be obtained in an arm's length
transaction with a nonaffiliated person, and except
for those transactions listed and summarized on
EXHIBIT 6.4(c).
(D) Merge or consolidate, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any
other Person, or acquire, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of
the capital stock or property of another Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower, or any of
its Subsidiaries may merge or consolidate with any
other Person, provided that (i) such other Person is
in the same, or a similar, line of business; (ii) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would exist after giving effect to the transactions;
and (iii) the Borrower is the surviving legal entity.
In the event that the Bank's consent is required for
any merger or consolidation hereunder, the Bank will
respond promptly to any request for such consent, but
no later than within seven (7) business days of
being provided with a formal term sheet. After seven
(7) days the transaction will be deemed approved
unless a written denial of consent is provided to
Borrower.
(E) Become an "investment company" or a
company controlled by an " investment company," under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or undertake as
one of its important activities extending credit to
purchase or carry margin stock, or use the proceeds
of any Advance for that purpose; fail to meet the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a
Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as
defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the
Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other
law or regulation, or permit any of its subsidiaries
to do so.
(F) Relocate its principal executive office
or add any new offices or business locations or keep
any Collateral in any additional locations, or (ii)
change its state of formation, or (iii) change its
organizational structure except for mergers,
acquisitions and consolidations with affiliates,
provided that the Borrower is the surviving legal
entity or (iv) change its legal name, or (v) change
any organizational number (if any) assigned by its
state of formation.
(G) Keep any Collateral in the possession of
any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse),
except for back-up tapes stored with any third party
bailee in the ordinary course of business. In the
event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends
to store or otherwise deliver any Collateral
-10-
<PAGE>
to such a bailee, then Borrower shall receive the
prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must
acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding
such Collateral for the benefit of Bank.
(H) Create, incur, or allow any lien on any
of its property, other than Permitted Liens, assign
or convey any right to receive income, including the
sale of any Accounts, or permit any Collateral not to
be subject to the first priority security interest
granted herein.
(I) Except as provided in Section 6.4 (C)
and (D) above, directly or indirectly acquire or own

other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to do so; or pay any dividends or
make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or
purchase any capital stock.
(J) Make or permit any payment on any
Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the
Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision in any
document relating to the Subordinated Debt, without
Bank's prior written consent.
7. ADJUSTMENTS. If any Account Debtor asserts a discount,
allowance, return, offset, defense, warranty claim, or the like on a Financed
Receivable (an "Adjustment") or if Borrower breaches any of the
representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 6, Borrower will
promptly advise Bank.
8. SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower grants Bank a continuing security
interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all
Obligations and performance of each of Borrower's duties under this Agreement.
Any security interest shall be a first priority security interest in the
Collateral. The Collateral may also be subject to Permitted Liens. Bank may
place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. Except as
disclosed to Bank on SCHEDULE 8, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by,
any material license or other material agreement with respect to which the
Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from
granting a security interest in Borrower's interest in such license or agreement
or any other property. Without prior consent from Bank, Borrower shall not enter
into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably
likely to have a material impact on Borrower's business or financial condition.
Borrower shall take such reasonable steps as Bank reasonably requests to obtain
the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary
for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Bank
to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or
prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now
existing or entered into in the future.
Borrower agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in
violation of this Agreement, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall
be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank under the Massachusetts Uniform
Commercial Code. If the Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security
interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its
Obligations. Upon repayment of all Obligations and the termination of Bank's
commitment to finance receivables hereunder, Bank shall promptly deliver to
Borrower all appropriate termination statements and releases to evidence the
termination of the Agreement and the security interest granted herein. If
Borrower shall at any time during the term of this Agreement, acquire a
commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed
by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank.
9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following is an
Event of Default.

to Bank when due under this Agreement;
(B) Borrower files, or has filed against it,

security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license

OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

Agreement must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by an overnight
delivery service, by certified mail postage prepaid return receipt requested, or

14. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
14.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement binds and is
for the benefit of successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may
not assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Bank's prior written
consent which may be granted or withheld in Bank's discretion. Bank may,
without the consent of or notice to Borrower, sell, transfer, or grant
participation in any part of Bank's obligations, rights or benefits under this
Agreement, provided such successor or assignee is a financial institution.
14.2. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower will indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a)
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other party in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) losses
or expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from or consequential to transactions
between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses),
except for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
14.3. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Borrower and any guarantor hereby
grant to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all
Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against
all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the
control of Silicon Valley Bank or in transit to any of them. At any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand
or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to
any liability or obligation of Borrower and any guarantor even though unmatured
and
-13-
<PAGE>
regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING
ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF
THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVED.
14.4. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for
performance of all obligations in this Agreement.
14.5. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Borrower agrees that any
disposition of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by either the
Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank
under the Code.
14.6. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISION. Each provision of this
Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the
enforceability of any provision.
14.7. AMENDMENTS IN WRITING, INTEGRATION. All amendments to
this Agreement must be in writing. This Agreement is the entire agreement about
this subject matter and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements.
14.8. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts and
when executed and delivered are one Agreement.
14.9. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under
this Agreement, or any other documents, instruments and agreement by and between
Borrower and Bank 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.
14.10. SURVIVAL. All covenants, representations and
warranties made in this Agreement continue in force while any Financed
Receivable amount remains outstanding. Borrower's indemnification obligations
survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought
against Bank have run.
14.11. CONFIDENTIALITY. Bank will use the same degree of
care handling Borrower's confidential information that it uses for its own
confidential information and in no less than all reasonable efforts, but may
disclose information; (i) to its subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with
their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of
any interest in the Agreement, (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena,
or other order, (iv) as required in connection with an examination or audit
and (v) as it considers appropriate exercising the remedies under this
Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that is either:
(a) in the public domain or in Bank's possession when disclosed, or becomes part
of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no act or omission by
Bank or its employees representatives or agents; or (b) disclosed to Bank by a
third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from
disclosing the information.
14.12. BORROWER LIABILITY. Any Borrower may request Advances
hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints the others as such Borrower's agent for
all purposes hereunder, except with respect to requesting Advances hereunder.
Each Borrower hereunder shall be obligated to repay all Advances made hereunder,
regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Advance, as if each Borrower
hereunder directly received all Advances.
14.13. SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower
irrevocably subordinates all rights that it may have at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights
of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification or any
other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or
hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any
payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with
the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit
from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any
payment made by
-14-
<PAGE>
the Borrowers with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan
Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification,
reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall not
be enforced while this Agreement is in force. If any payment is made to a
Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment
in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for
application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
14.14. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS. Accounting terms not
defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and
determinations must be made following GAAP. The term "financial statements"
includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including" and "includes" always
mean "including (or includes) without limitation," in this or any document
executed in connection herewith. All terms contained in this Agreement, unless
otherwise indicated or defined herein, shall have the meanings provided by the
Code, to the extent such terms are defined there in.
14.15. OTHER AGREEMENTS. This Agreement may not adversely
affect Banks rights under any other document or agreement. If there is a
conflict between this Agreement and any agreement between Borrower and Bank,
Bank may determine in its sole discretion which provision applies. Borrower
acknowledges that any security agreements, liens and /or security interests
securing payment of Borrower's Obligations also secure Borrower's Obligations
under this Agreement and are not adversely affected by this Agreement.
