electronic records, contracts and signatures) and such other documentation and
information relating to said Accounts and other Collateral as the Agent may
reasonably require. Failure to provide the Agent with any of the foregoing shall
in no way affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the security interests
granted herein. The Company hereby authorizes the Agent to regard the Company's
printed name or rubber stamp signature on assignment schedules or invoices as
the equivalent of a manual signature by one of the Company's authorized officers
or agents.

     3.3 The Company hereby represents and warrants that: each Trade Account
Receivable is based on an actual and bona fide sale and delivery of Inventory or
rendition of services to its customers, made by the Company in the ordinary
course of its business; the Inventory being sold, and the Trade Accounts
Receivable created, are the exclusive property of the Company and are not and
shall not be subject to any lien, consignment arrangement, encumbrance, security
interest or financing statement whatsoever, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances; the invoices evidencing such Trade Accounts Receivable are in the
name of the Company; and the customers of the Company have accepted the
Inventory or services, owe and are obligated to pay the full amounts stated in
the invoices according to their terms, without dispute, offset, defense,
counterclaim or contra, except for disputes and other matters arising in the
ordinary course of business with respect to which the Company has complied with
the notification requirements of Paragraph 3.5 of this Section 3. The Company
confirms to the Agent that any and all Taxes or fees relating to its business,
its sales, the Accounts or Inventory relating thereto, are its sole
responsibility and that same will be paid by the Company when due, subject to
Paragraph 7.6 of Section 7 of this Financing Agreement, and that none of said
Taxes or fees represent a lien on or claim against the Accounts. The Company
hereby further represents and warrants that it shall not acquire any Inventory
on a consignment basis, nor co-mingle its Inventory with any of its customers or
any other person, including pursuant to any bill and hold sale or otherwise, and
that its Inventory is marketable to its customers in the ordinary course of
business of the Company, except as it may otherwise report in writing to the
Agent

                                       22


pursuant to Paragraph 3.5 hereof from time to time. The Company also warrants
and represents that it is a duly and validly existing corporation and is
qualified in all states where the failure to so qualify would have an adverse
effect on the business of the Company or the ability of the Company to enforce
collection of Accounts due from customers residing in that state. The Company
agrees to maintain such books and records regarding Accounts and Inventory as
the Agent may reasonably require and agrees that the books and records of the
Company will reflect the Agent's interest in the Accounts and Inventory. All of
the books and records of the Company will, in the ordinary course of business,
be available to the Agent upon reasonable prior notice at normal business hours,
including any records handled or maintained for the Company by any other company
or entity, provided that, in the Agent's reasonable business judgment, such
books and records shall be available absent notice and at such times as the
Agent may request.

     3.4 Until the Agent has advised the Company to the contrary after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company, at its expense, will enforce,
collect and receive all amounts owing on the Accounts in the ordinary course of
its business and any proceeds it so receives shall be subject to the terms
hereof, and held on behalf of and in trust for the Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. Such privilege shall terminate at the election of the Agent, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, until such Event of Default is waived in
writing by the Required Lenders or cured to the Agent's and/or the Required
Lender's satisfaction. Any checks, cash, credit card sales and receipts, notes
or other instruments or property received by the Company with respect to any
Collateral, including Accounts, shall be held by the Company in trust for the
Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, separate from the Company's own property and
funds, and promptly turned over to the Agent with proper assignments or
endorsements by deposit to the Depository Accounts. The Company shall:
(i) indicate on all of its invoices that funds should be delivered to and
deposited in a Depository Account; (ii) direct all of its account debtors to
deposit any and all proceeds of Collateral into the Depository Accounts;
(iii) irrevocably authorize and direct any banks which maintain the Company's
initial receipt of cash, checks and other items to promptly wire transfer all
available funds to a Depository Account; and (iv) advise all such banks of the
Agent's security interest in such funds. The Company shall provide the Agent
with prior written notice of any and all deposit accounts opened or to be opened
subsequent to the Closing Date. Subject to Collection Days, all amounts received
by the Agent in payment of Accounts will be credited to the Revolving Loan
Account when the Agent is advised by its bank of its receipt of "collected
funds" at the Agent's bank account in New York, New York on the Business Day of
such advise if advised no later than 1:00 p.m. EST or on the next succeeding
Business Day if so advised after 1:00 PM EST. No checks, drafts or other
instrument received by the Agent shall constitute final payment to the Agent
and/or the Lenders unless and until such instruments have actually been
collected.

     3.5 The Company agrees to notify the Agent: (a) of any matters affecting
the value, enforceability or collectibility of any Account and of all customer
disputes, offsets, defenses, counterclaims, returns, rejections and all
reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods, and of any adverse effect in the
value of its Inventory, in its weekly and monthly collateral reports (as
applicable) provided to the Agent hereunder, in such detail and format as the
Agent may reasonably require from time to time and (b) promptly of any such
matters which are material, as a whole, to the

                                       23


Accounts and/or the Inventory. The Company shall deliver a report relating to
its Accounts to the Agent no less frequently than bi-monthly. The Company agrees
to issue credit memoranda promptly (with duplicates to the Agent upon request
after the occurrence of an Event of Default) upon accepting returns or granting
allowances. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which is not waived in
writing by the Required Lenders) and on notice from the Agent, the Company
agrees that all returned, reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods shall be
set aside by the Company, marked with the Agent's name (as secured party) and
held by the Company for the Agent's account.

     3.6 The Agent shall maintain a Revolving Loan Account on its books in which
the Company will be charged with all loans and advances made by the Agent to it
or for its account, and with any other Obligations, including any and all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorney's fees which the Agent may incur in connection
with the exercise by or for the Agent of any of the rights or powers herein
conferred upon the Agent, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding to enforce or protect any rights of the Agent in connection with this
Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral assigned
hereunder, or any Obligations owing by the Company. The Company will be credited
with all amounts received by the Agent and/or the Lenders from the Company or
from others for the Company's account, including, as above set forth, all
amounts received by the Agent in payment of Accounts, and such amounts will be
applied to payment of the Obligations as set forth herein. In no event shall
prior recourse to any Accounts or other security granted to or by the Company be
a prerequisite to the Agent's right to demand payment of any Obligation.
Further, it is understood that the Agent and/or the Lenders shall have no
obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Company's contracts
or obligations relating to the Accounts.

     3.7 After the end of each month, the Agent shall promptly send the Company
a statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other
transactions occurring between the Agent and the Company during that month. The
monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Company and
shall constitute an account stated between the Company and the Agent unless the
Agent receives a written statement of the exceptions within thirty (30) days of
the date of the monthly statement.

     3.8 In the event that any requested advance exceeds Availability or that
(a) the sum of (i) the outstanding balance of Revolving Loans and
(ii) outstanding balance of Letters of Credit exceeds (b)(x) the Borrowing Base
or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit, any such nonconsensual Overadvance shall be
due and payable to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders immediately upon the
Agent's demand therefor.

used for the purchase of domestic Inventory or to secure present or future debt
of domestic Inventory suppliers. Any and all outstanding Letters of Credit shall
be reserved dollar for dollar from Availability as an Availability Reserve.

     5.2 The Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Company, to
charge the Company's Revolving Loan Account with the amount of any and all
indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind incurred by the Agent and/or
the Lenders under the Letters of Credit Guaranty at the earlier of (a) payment
by the Agent under the Letters of Credit Guaranty; or (b) the occurrence of an
Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by the Required Lenders.

     5.3 The Company unconditionally indemnifies the Agent and the Lenders and
holds the Agent and the Lenders harmless from any and all loss, claim or
liability incurred by the Agent arising from any transactions or occurrences

Guaranty, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall acquire by subrogation, any
rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Company to
the Issuing Bank in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing
agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be
deemed to have been granted to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and apply in
all respects to the Agent and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies,
duties or obligations contained herein.

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL

     6.1 As security for the prompt payment in full of all Obligations, the
Company hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a
continuing general lien upon, and security interest in, all of its:

     (a) Accounts;

     (b) Inventory;

     (c) General Intangibles;

     (d) Documents of Title;

     (e) Other Collateral;

     (f) Equipment; and

     (g) Real Estate.

     6.2 The security interests granted hereunder shall extend and attach to:

     (a) All Collateral which is owned by the Company or in which the Company
has any interest, whether held by the Company or others for its account, and, if
any Collateral is Equipment, whether the Company's interest in such Equipment is
as owner, finance lessee or conditional vendee;

     (b) All Equipment, whether the same constitutes personal property or
fixtures, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
dies, jigs, tools, benches, molds, tables, accretions, component parts thereof
and additions thereto, as well as all accessories, motors, engines and auxiliary
parts used in connection with, or attached to, the Equipment; and

                                       27


     (c) All Inventory and any portion thereof which may be returned, rejected,
reclaimed or repossessed by either the Agent or the Company from the Company's
customers, as well as to all supplies, goods, incidentals, packaging materials,
labels and any other items which contribute to the finished goods or products
manufactured or processed by the Company, or to the sale, promotion or shipment
thereof.

     6.3 The Company agrees to safeguard, protect and hold all Inventory for the
Agent's account and make no disposition thereof except in the ordinary course of
its business of the Company, as herein provided. The Company represents and
warrants that Inventory will be sold and shipped by the Company to its customers

account and on terms currently being extended by the Company to its customers,
provided that, absent the prior written consent of the Agent, the Company shall
not sell Inventory on a consignment basis nor retain any lien or security
interest in any sold Inventory. Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of
Inventory, as herein provided, the security interest in the Inventory provided
for herein shall, without break in continuity and without further formality or
act, continue in, and attach to, all proceeds, including any instruments for the
payment of money, Trade Accounts Receivable, documents of title, shipping
documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non-cash proceeds of such sale,
exchange or disposition. As to any such sale, exchange or other disposition, the
Agent shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in
transit, replevin, rescission and reclamation. The Company hereby agrees to
immediately forward any and all proceeds of Collateral to the Depository
Account, and to hold any such proceeds (including any notes and instruments), in
trust for the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, pending delivery to the Agent.
Irrespective of the Agent's perfection status in any and all of the General
Intangibles, including, without limitations, any Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights
or licenses with respect thereto, the Company hereby irrevocably grants the
Agent a royalty free license to sell, or otherwise dispose or transfer, in
accordance with Paragraph 10.3 of Section 10 of this Financing Agreement, and
the applicable terms hereof, of any of the Inventory upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by the Agent.

     6.4 The Company agrees at its own cost and expense to keep the Equipment in
as good and substantial repair and condition as the same is now or at the time
the lien and security interest granted herein shall attach thereto, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, making any and all repairs and replacements when and
where necessary. The Company also agrees to safeguard, protect and hold all
Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof and subject to the Agent's
security interest. Absent the Agent's prior written consent, any sale, exchange
or other disposition of any Equipment shall be made by the Company in the
ordinary course of business and as set forth herein. The Company may, in the
ordinary course of its business, sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of obsolete
or surplus Equipment provided, however, that: (a) the then value of the
Equipment so disposed of in any Fiscal Year does not exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate; and (b) the proceeds of any such sales or dispositions shall be held
in trust by the Company for the Agent and shall be immediately delivered to the
Agent by deposit to the Depository Account, except that the Company may retain
and use such proceeds to purchase forthwith replacement Equipment which the
Company determines in its reasonable judgment to have a collateral value at
least equal to the Equipment so disposed of or sold;

                                       28


provided, however, that the aforesaid right shall automatically cease upon the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default which is not waived in writing by
the Agent. Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the Equipment, as
herein provided, the security interest provided for herein shall, without break
in continuity and without further formality or act, continue in, and attach to,
all proceeds, including any instruments for the payment of money, Accounts,
documents of title, shipping documents, chattel paper and all other cash and
non-cash proceeds of such sales, exchange or disposition. As to any such sale,
exchange or other disposition, the Agent and the Lenders shall have all of the
rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit, replevin, rescission
and reclamation.

     6.5 The rights and security interests granted to the Agent and the Lenders
hereunder are to continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the
termination of this Financing Agreement or the fact that the Revolving Loan
Account may from time to time be temporarily in a credit position, until the
final payment in full to the Agent of all Obligations and the termination of
this Financing Agreement. Any delay, or omission by the Agent to exercise any
right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, or be deemed a waiver of
any other right, unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Agent.
A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of,
any right or remedy on any future occasion.

     6.6 Notwithstanding the Agent's security interest in the Collateral and to
the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by any assets or
property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement, assets or
property of any other person, the Agent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies the
Agent shall at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify
or take any other action with respect to, without in any way modifying or
affecting any of them, or any of the Agent's and/or the Lenders' rights
hereunder.

     6.7 Any balances to the credit of the Company and any other property or
assets of the Company in the possession or control of the Agent and/or the
Lenders may be held by the Agent as security for any Obligations and applied in
whole or partial satisfaction of such Obligations when due. The liens and
security interests granted herein, and any other lien or security interest the
Agent and/or the Lenders may have in any other assets of the Company, shall
secure payment and performance of all now existing and future Obligations. The
Agent may, in its discretion, charge any or all of the Obligations to the
Revolving Loan Account when due. The agent may in its discretion request in
writing that the Company to enter into applicable three party security
agreements (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) granting the Agent
a first priority security interest in the Company's Permitted Investments, and
the Company shall comply therewith within a reasonable time therefrom.

     6.8 The Company possesses all General Intangibles and rights thereto
necessary to conduct its business as conducted as of the Closing Date and the
Company shall maintain its rights in, and the value of, the foregoing in the
ordinary course of its business, including, without limitation, by making timely
payment with respect to any applicable licensed rights. The Company shall
deliver to

                                       29


the Agent, and/or shall cause the appropriate party to deliver to the Agent,
from time to time such pledge or security agreements with respect to General
Intangibles (now or hereafter acquired) of the Company and its subsidiaries as
the Agent shall require to obtain valid first liens thereon. In furtherance of
the foregoing, the Company shall provide timely notice to the Agent of any
additional Patents, Trademarks, tradenames, service marks, Copyrights, brand
names, trade names, logos and other trade designations acquired or applied for
subsequent to the Closing Date and the Company shall execute such documentation
as the Agent may reasonably require to obtain and perfect its lien thereon. The
Company hereby confirms that it shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, any
pledged stock issued subsequent to the Closing Date to the Agent in accordance
with the applicable terms of the Pledge Agreement and prior to such delivery,
shall hold any such stock in trust for the Agent. The Company hereby irrevocably
grants to the Agent a royalty-free, non-exclusive license in the General
Intangibles, including tradenames, Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, licenses,
and any other proprietary and intellectual property rights and any and all
right, title and interest in any of the foregoing, for the sole purpose, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, of the right to: (i) advertise for sale
and sell or transfer any Inventory bearing any of the General Intangibles, and
(ii) make, assemble, prepare for sale or complete, or cause others to do so, any
applicable raw materials or Inventory bearing any of the General Intangibles,
including use of the Equipment and Real Estate for the purpose of completing the
manufacture of unfinished goods, raw materials or work-in-process comprising
Inventory, and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations hereunder, all as
further set forth in this Financing Agreement and irrespective of the Agent's
lien and perfection in any General Intangibles.

     6.9 The Company agrees that, if applicable, any chattel paper created by
the Company will be marked: "This chattel paper has been assigned to The CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. Further assignment of this chattel paper violates
the rights of The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc."

SECTION 7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     7.1 The Company hereby warrants, represents and covenants that: (a) the
fair value of the Total Assets exceeds the book value of the Total Liabilities;

Encumbrances, the Company is, or will be, at the time additional Collateral is
acquired by it, the absolute owner of the Collateral with full right to pledge,
sell, consign, transfer and create a security interest therein, free and clear
of any and all claims or liens in favor of others; (iv) the Company will, at its
expense, forever warrant and, at the Agent's request, defend the same from any
and all claims

                                       30


and demands of any other person other than a holder of a Permitted Encumbrance;
(v) the Company will not grant, create or permit to exist, any lien upon, or
security interest in, the Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, in favor of any
other person other than the holders of the Permitted Encumbrances; and that the

Equipment is and will only be used by the Company in its business and will not
be held for sale or lease, or removed from its premises, or otherwise disposed

business hours, and from time to time in its reasonable business judgment, for
the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining
thereto. The Company agrees to afford the Agent thirty (30) days prior written
notice of any change in the location of any Collateral, other than to locations,
that as of the Closing Date, are known to the Agent and at which the Agent has
filed financing statements and otherwise fully perfected its liens thereon. The
Company is also to advise the Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any
material adverse change relating to the type, quantity or quality of the

Collateral, such written statements, and schedules as the Agent may reasonably
require, designating, identifying or describing the Collateral; and (b) provide
the Agent, on request, with an appraisal of the Inventory which appraisal shall
be at the Company's expense and otherwise acceptable to the Agent. The Company's
failure, however, to promptly give the Agent such statements, or schedules shall
not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the Agent's and/or the Lenders'
security interests in the Collateral.

     7.4 The Company agrees to comply with the requirements of all state and
federal laws in order to grant to the Agent valid and perfected first security
interests in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The
Agent is hereby authorized by the Company to file (including pursuant to the

of liens, financing statements, amendments, renewals and continuations thereof;
(b) cooperating with the Agent's agents and employees; (c) keeping Collateral
records; (d) transferring proceeds of Collateral to the Agent's possession; and
(e) performing such further acts as the Agent and/or the Lenders may reasonably
require in order to effect the purposes of this Financing Agreement, including
but not limited to obtaining control agreements with respect to deposit accounts
and/or Investment Property.

                                       31


     7.5(a) The Company agrees to maintain insurance on its Real Estate,
Equipment and Inventory under such policies of insurance, with such insurance
companies, in such reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are
at all times reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. All policies covering the
Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory are, subject to the rights of any holders
of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Agent, to be made payable
to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in case of loss, under a standard
non-contributory "mortgagee", "lender" or "secured party" clause and are to
contain such other provisions as the Agent may require to fully protect the
Agent's interest in the Real Estate, Inventory and Equipment and to any payments
to be made under such policies. All original policies or true copies thereof are
to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement
in the Agent's favor, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. At the
Company's request, or if the Company fails to maintain such insurance, the Agent
may arrange for such insurance, but at the Company's expense and without any
responsibility on the Agent's part for: (i) obtaining the insurance; (ii) the
solvency of the insurance companies; (iii) the adequacy of the coverage; or
(iv) the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which
is not waived in writing by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall, subject to
the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the
Agent, have the sole right and at its option, in the name of the Agent or the
Company, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and
give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute
any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or
other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or
settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

     (b)(i) In the event of any loss or damage by fire or other casualty,
insurance proceeds relating to Inventory shall first reduce the Company's
Revolving Loans, and then to any other Obligations. Upon the occurrence of a
Default or Event of Default, such Insurance Proceeds may be applied to the
Obligations in such order as the Agent may elect;

     (ii) In the event any part of any of the Company's Real Estate or Equipment
is damaged by fire or other casualty and the Insurance Proceeds for such damage
or other casualty is less than or equal to $100,000.00, the Agent shall promptly
apply such Proceeds to reduce the Company's outstanding balance in the Revolving
Loan Account. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, such
Insurance Proceeds may be applied to the Obligations in such order as the Agent
may elect. Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default, and provided that
(x) such Company has sufficient business interruption insurance to replace the
lost profits of such Company's facilities, and (y) the Insurance Proceeds are in
excess of $100,000.00, such Company may elect (by delivering written notice to
the Agent) to replace, repair or restore such Real Estate or Equipment to
substantially the equivalent condition prior to such fire or other casualty as
set forth herein. If the Company does not, or cannot, elect to use the Insurance
Proceeds as set forth above, the Agent may, subject to the rights of any holders
of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Agent, apply the
Insurance Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such
order as the Agent may reasonably elect.

                                       32


     (c) In the event the Company fails to provide the Agent with timely
evidence, acceptable to the Agent, of its maintenance of insurance coverage
required pursuant to paragraph 7.5(a) above, the Agent may purchase, at the
Company's expense, insurance to protect the Agent's interests in the Collateral.
The insurance acquired by the Agent may, but need not, protect the Company's
interest in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay claims
which the Company may have with respect to the Collateral or pay any claim which
may be made against the Company in connection with the Collateral. In the event
the Agent purchases, obtains or acquires insurance covering all or any portion
of the Collateral, the Company shall be responsible for all of the applicable
costs of such insurance, including premiums, interest (at the applicable Chase
Bank Rate for Revolving Loans set forth in paragraph 8.1 of Section 8 hereof),
fees and any other charges with respect thereto, until the effective date of the
cancellation or the expiration of such insurance. The Agent may charge all of
such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to the Company's
Revolving Loan Account. The Company hereby acknowledges that the costs of the
premiums of any insurance acquired by the Agent may exceed the costs of
insurance which the Company may be able to purchase on its own. In the event
that the Agent purchases such insurance, the Agent will notify the Company of
said purchase within thirty (30) days of the date of such purchase. If, within
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Company provides the Agent
with proof that the Company had the insurance coverage required pursuant to
7.5(a) above (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) as of the date on
which the Agent purchased insurance and the Company continued at all times to
have such insurance, then the Agent agrees to cancel the insurance purchased by
the Agent and credit the Company's Revolving Loan Account with the amount of all
costs, interest and other charges associated with any insurance purchased by the
Agent, including with any amounts previously charged to the Revolving Loan
Account.

     7.6 The Company agrees to pay, when due, all Taxes, including sales taxes,
assessments, claims and other charges lawfully levied or assessed upon the
Company or the Collateral unless such Taxes are being diligently contested in
good faith by the Company by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves are
established in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any lien
shall be filed or claimed thereunder (a) for Taxes due the United States of
America, or (b) which in the Agent's opinion might create a valid obligation
having priority over the rights granted to the Agent herein (exclusive of Real
Estate), such lien shall not be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrance hereunder
and the Company shall immediately pay such tax and remove the lien of record. If
the Company fails to do so promptly, then at the Agent's election, the Agent may
(i) create an Availability Reserve in such amount as it may deem appropriate in
its business judgment, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default, imminent risk of seizure, filing of any priority lien, forfeiture, or
sale of the Collateral, pay Taxes on the Company's behalf, and the amount
thereof shall be an Obligation secured hereby and due on demand.

     7.7 The Company: (a) agrees to comply with all acts, rules, regulations and
orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official, which
the failure to comply with would have a material and adverse impact on the
Collateral, or any material part thereof, or on the business or operations of
the Company, provided that the Company may contest any acts, rules, regulations,
orders and directions of such bodies or officials in any reasonable manner which
will not, in the

                                       33


Agent's reasonable opinion, materially and adversely effect the Agent's and/or
the Lenders' rights or priority in the Collateral; (b) agrees to comply with all
environmental statutes, acts, rules, regulations or orders as presently existing
or as adopted or amended in the future, applicable to the Collateral, the
ownership and/or use of its real property and operation of its business, which
the failure to comply with would have a material and adverse impact on the
Collateral, or any material part thereof, or on the operation of the business of
the Company; and (c) shall not be deemed to have breached any provision of this
Paragraph 7.7 if (i) the failure to comply with the requirements of this
Paragraph 7.7 resulted from good faith error or innocent omission, (ii) the
Company promptly commences and diligently pursues a cure of such breach, and
(iii) such failure is cured within (30) days following the Company's receipt of
notice of such failure, or if such cannot in good faith be cured within thirty
(30) days, then such breach is cured within a reasonable time frame based upon
the extent and nature of the breach and the necessary remediation, and in
conformity with any applicable consent order, consensual agreement and
applicable law.

     7.8 Until termination of this Financing Agreement and payment and
satisfaction of all Obligations due hereunder, the Company agrees that, unless
the Agent shall have otherwise consented in writing, the Company will furnish to
the Agent and each Lender: (a) within (i) ninety (90) days after the end of each
Fiscal Year of the Company, an audited Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a
Consolidating Balance Sheet attached thereto, as at the close of such year, and
statements of profit and loss, cash flow and reconciliation of surplus of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such year, audited by independent
public accountants selected by the Company and satisfactory to the Agent, and
(ii) ten (10) days of the issuance thereof, the Company's filings with the SEC,
including its 10K's and 10Q's; (b) within sixty (60) days after the end of each
Fiscal Quarter a Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidating Balance Sheet as
at the end of such period and statements of profit and loss, cash flow and
surplus of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, certified by an
authorized financial or accounting officer of the Company; (c) within thirty
(30) days after the end of each month an internally prepared Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at the end of such period and statements of profit and loss,
cash flow and surplus of the Company and all subsidiaries for such period,
certified by an authorized financial or accounting officer of the Company;
(d) yearly cash flow projections (including a break-down for each month of such
period) provided by the Company within thirty (30) days of its fiscal year end,
including profit and loss, cash flow and surplus, in form satisfactory to the
Agent; and (e) from time to time and without duplication of the foregoing, such
further information regarding the business affairs and financial condition of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as the Agent may reasonably
request, including, without limitation (i) the accountant's management practice
letter and (ii) annual cash flow projections in form satisfactory to the Agent
and (iii) any audits conducted by the Company's auditors of its Accounts or
systems relating thereto. Each financial statement which the Company is required
to submit hereunder must be accompanied by an officer's certificate, signed by
the President, Vice President, Controller, or Treasurer, pursuant to which any
one such officer must certify that: (x) the financial statement(s) fairly and
accurately represent(s) the Company's financial condition at the end of the
particular accounting period, as well as the Company's operating results during
such accounting period, subject to year-end audit adjustments; and (y) during
the particular accounting period: (A) there has been no Default or Event of
Default under this Financing

                                       34


Agreement, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any such officer has knowledge that any
such Default or Event of Default, has occurred during such period, the existence
of and a detailed description of same shall be set forth in such officer's
certificate; (B) the Company has not received any notice of cancellation with
respect to its property insurance policies; (C) the Company has not received any
notice that could result in a material adverse effect on the value of the
Collateral taken as a whole; and (D) the exhibits attached to such financial
statement(s) constitute detailed calculations showing compliance with all
financial covenants contained in this Financing Agreement.

     7.9 Until termination of the Financing Agreement and payment and
satisfaction of all Obligations hereunder, the Company agrees that, without the
prior written consent of the Agent, except as otherwise herein provided, the
Company will not:

     (a)  Mortgage, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise permit any lien,
          charge, security interest, encumbrance or judgment, (whether as a
          result of a purchase money or title retention transaction, or other
          security interest, or otherwise) to exist on any of the Company's
          Collateral or any other assets, whether now owned or hereafter
          acquired, except for the Permitted Encumbrances;
     (b)  Incur or create any Indebtedness other than the Permitted
          Indebtedness;
     (c)  Sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of (i) Collateral,
          except as otherwise specifically permitted by this Financing
          Agreement, or (ii) either all or substantially all of the Company's
          assets, which do not constitute Collateral, provided that the Company
          may sell all or substantially all of the assets or stock of EB
          Networks and Princeton Softech, Inc., provided further that any such
          sale shall occur on or before six months from the Closing Date;
     (d)  Merge, consolidate or otherwise alter or modify its corporate name,
          principal place of business, structure, or existence, re-incorporate
          or re-organize, or enter into or engage in any operation or activity
          materially different from that presently being conducted by the
          Company, except that the Company may change its corporate name or
          address; provided that: (i) the Company shall give the Agent thirty
          (30) days prior written notice thereof and (ii) the Company shall
          execute and deliver, prior to or simultaneously with any such action,
          any and all documents and agreements requested by the Agent to confirm
          the continuation and preservation of all security interests and liens
          granted to the Agent hereunder;
     (e)  Assume, guarantee, endorse, or otherwise become liable upon the
          obligations of any person, firm, entity or corporation, except by the
          endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or
          similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
     (f)  Declare or pay any dividend or distributions of any kind on, or
          purchase, acquire, redeem or retire, any of the capital stock or
          equity interest, of any class whatsoever, whether now or hereafter
          outstanding of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, PROVIDED
          HOWEVER THAT, the Company may redeem its publicly traded stock in an
          aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000 in any fiscal quarter,
          provided further

                                       35


          that, prior to and after giving affect to any such redemption, the
          Company's Availability is in an amount of $15,000,000 or more; or
     (g)  Make any advance or loan to, or any investment in, any firm, entity,
          person or corporation, or purchase or acquire all or substantially all
          of the stock or assets of any entity, person or corporation, or pay
          any management, consulting or other similar fees to any person,
          corporation or other entity affiliated with the Company, in excess of
          $100,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year, excepted for Permitted
          Investments.

     7.10 Until termination of the Financing Agreement and payment and
satisfaction in full of all Obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

     (a) The Company shall maintain Availability, as required under (a)(i)
below, from the Closing Date through the date when, pursuant to written mutual
agreement of the Company and the Agent, the Company maintains a Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. Absent such mutual agreement, the Availability
covenant shall continue uninterrupted and in full force and effect. Upon such
written mutual agreement and attaining the Required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
set forth herein above, the Availability provision in (a)(i) shall be deemed
terminated (absent the occurrence of and for so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred hereunder, provided that for purposes hereof, upon any
Default or Event of Default such covenant shall be deemed reinstated), and the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant will thereafter remain in full force and
effect.

     (i) The Company shall maintain $15,000,000 in Availability at all times, as
evidenced by a Borrowing Base certificate delivered by the Company to the Agent
from time to time hereunder, but in no event less frequently than weekly. It is
understood that such requirement contemplates that all debts and obligations of
the Company are current, and that all payables are being handled in the normal
course of the Company's business and consistent with its past practice, provided
that for purposes of calculation of this provision, Availability shall include
any deposits in the Company's "invest-a-cash" account (#1770) with The Chase
Manhattan Bank.

     (ii) The Company shall maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio of not less than an amount to be mutually agreed upon in writing
by the parties hereto. It is contemplated as of the Closing Date that such
amount shall be approximately 85% of the amount set forth in the Company's
projections for the period beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31,
2002, all to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. The Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio shall be determined on a cumulating basis for the period
of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters.

     (b) without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Company will not:

                                       36


          (i) enter into or have outstanding any Operating Lease if after giving
          effect thereto the Company's aggregate obligations with respect to
          Operating Leases during any Fiscal Year would exceed $9,000,000.00;

          (ii) contract for, purchase, make expenditures for, lease pursuant to
          a Capital Lease or otherwise incur obligations with respect to Capital
          Expenditures (whether subject to a security interest or otherwise)
          during any period below in the aggregate amount in excess of the
          amount set forth for such period:

          (A) $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2001;
          (B) $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2002;
          (C) $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2003;
          (D) $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2004; and
          (E) $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2005, and
              for each Fiscal Year ending thereafter.

     (c) obtain minimum monthly collections of $20,000,000. For purposes of
     calculation hereof, "collections" shall refer solely to the Company's
     Accounts, and exclude any amounts due or received from any of the Company's
     affiliates.

     7.11 The Company agrees to advise the Agent and the Lenders in writing of:
(a) all expenditures (actual or anticipated) in excess of $150,000.00 from the
budgeted amount therefor in any Fiscal Year for (i) environmental clean-up,
(ii) environmental compliance or (iii) environmental testing and the impact of
said expenses on the Company's Working Capital; and (b) any notices the Company
receives from any local, state or federal authority advising the Company of any
environmental liability (real or potential) stemming from the Company's
operations, its premises, its waste disposal practices, or waste disposal sites
used by the Company and to provide the Agent with copies of all such notices if
so required; and (c) any accrued and unpaid Taxes (including payroll taxes) in
an amount of $100,000 or more.

     7.12 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent,
the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and
agents (each an "Indemnified Party") from, and holds each of them harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, damages,
costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising in connection with this
Financing Agreement or the Loan Documents, including without limitation for any
payments made by the Agent pursuant to any indemnity provided by the Agent with
respect to or subject to the Loan Documents, including without limitation those
which may arise from or relate to: (a) the Depository Account, the Blocked
Accounts, the lockbox and/or any other depository account and/or the agreements
executed in connection therewith; and (b) any and all claims or expenses
asserted against the Agent as a result of any environmental pollution, hazardous
material or environmental clean-up relating to the Real Estate; or any claim or
expense which results from the Company's operations (including, but not limited
to, the Company's off-site disposal practices) and use of the Real Estate, which
the Agent may sustain or incur (other than solely as a result of the physical
actions of the

                                       37


Agent on the Company's premises which are determined to constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct by a court of competent jurisdiction), all
whether through the alleged or actual negligence of such person or otherwise,
except and to the extent that the same results solely and directly from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company hereby agrees that
this indemnity shall survive termination of this Financing Agreement, as well as
payments of Obligations which may be due hereunder. The Agent may, in its sole
business judgment, establish such Availability Reserves with respect thereto as
it may deem advisable under the circumstances and, upon any termination hereof,
hold such reserves as cash reserves for any such contingent liabilities.

     7.13 Without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Company agrees
that it will not enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any
purchase, sale, lease, loan or exchange of property with any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, provided that, except as otherwise set forth in this
Financing Agreement, the Company may enter into sale and service transactions in
the ordinary course of its business and pursuant to the reasonable requirements
of the Company, and upon standard terms and conditions and fair and reasonable
terms, no less favorable to the Company than the Company could obtain in a
comparable arms length transaction with an unrelated third party, provided
further that no Default or Event of Default exists or will occur hereunder prior
to and after giving effect to any such transaction..

SECTION 8. INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES

     8.1 (a) Interest on the Revolving Loans shall be payable monthly as of the
end of each month. Chase Bank Rate Loans shall be at a rate equal to the Chase
Bank Rate (listed as "Prime" in the table below) plus any applicable margin (as
set forth in the table below), per annum on the average of the net balances
owing by the Company to the Agent in the Revolving Loan Account at the close of
each day during such month. In the event of any change in said Chase Bank Rate,
the rate hereunder for Chase Bank Rate Loans shall change as of the date of such
change. The rate hereunder for Chase Bank Rate Loans shall be calculated based
on a 360-day year. The Agent shall be entitled to charge the Company's Revolving
Loan Account at the rate provided for herein when due until all Obligations have
been paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes
of calculation hereof, during the first ninety (90) days from the Closing Date
all Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the Chase Bank Rate plus 0.50%.

section 8, in the event that the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Loans and
(ii) the outstanding Letters of Credit exceed the lesser of either (x) the

Agreement or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit: (A) as a result of Revolving
Loans advanced by the Agent at the request of the Company (herein "Requested
Overadvances"), for any one (1) or more days in any month, or (B) for any other
reason whatsoever (herein "Other Overadvances") and such Other Overadvances
continue for five (5) or more days in any month, the average net balance of all
Revolving Loans for such month shall bear interest at the Overadvance Rate.

     (c) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and the giving of
any required notice by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10, Paragraph 10.2 hereof, all Obligations shall bear interest at the
Default Rate of Interest.

     8.2 Intentionally Omitted.

     8.3 In consideration of the Letter of Credit Guaranty of the Agent, the
Company shall pay the Agent the Letter of Credit Guaranty Fee which shall be an
amount equal to (a) one and one half percent (1.5%) on the face amount of each
documentary Letter of Credit payable upon issuance thereof and (b) one and one
half percent (1.5%) per annum, payable monthly, on the face amount of each
standby Letter of Credit less the amount of any and all amounts previously drawn
under such standby Letter of Credit.

     8.4 Any and all charges, fees, commissions, costs and expenses charged to
the Agent for the Company's account by any Issuing Bank in connection with, or
arising out of, Letters of Credit or out of transactions relating thereto will
be charged to the Revolving Loan Account in full when charged to, or paid by the
Agent, or as may be due upon any termination of this Financing Agreement hereof,
and when made by any such Issuing Bank shall be conclusive on the Agent.

     8.5 The Company shall reimburse or pay the Agent, as the case may be, for:
(a) all Out-of-Pocket Expenses and (b) any applicable Documentation Fee.

     8.6 Upon the last Business Day of each month, commencing on July 31, 2001,
the Company shall pay to the Agent (i) the Line of Credit Fee, and (ii) solely
for the account of the Agent, interest on the Collection Days. Interest will be
computed at the rate, and in the manner, set forth in Paragraph 8.1 of this
Financing Agreement.

     8.7 To induce the Agent to enter into this Financing Agreement and to
extend to the Company the Revolving Loan and Letters of Credit Guaranties, the
Company shall pay to the Agent, solely for its account, a Loan Facility Fee in
the amount of $400,000.00 payable upon execution of this Financing Agreement.
The Commitment Fee (of $150,000 paid by the Company to the Agent upon execution
of the Commitment Letter) shall be credited toward the Loan Facility Fee upon
consummation of this financing transaction on the Closing Date.

                                       39


     8.8 On the Closing Date and each anniversary of the Closing Date
thereafter, the Company shall pay to the Agent the Administrative Management
Fee, which shall be deemed fully earned when paid.

     8.9 The Company shall pay the Agent's standard charges and fees for the
Agent's personnel used by the Agent for reviewing the books and records of the
Company and for verifying, testing, protecting, safeguarding, preserving or
disposing of all or any part of the Collateral (which fees shall be in addition
to the Administrative Management Fee and any Out-of-Pocket Expenses).

     8.10 The Company hereby authorizes the Agent to charge the Revolving Loan
Account with the amount of all payments due hereunder as such payments become
due. The Company confirms that any charges which the Agent may so make to the
Revolving Loan Account as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to
the Company and solely at the Agent's discretion.

     8.11 In the event that the Agent or any participant hereunder (or any
financial institution which may from time to time become a participant or lender
hereunder) shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business
judgment that, subsequent to the Closing Date, any change in applicable law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Agent or such
participant with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the Agent's or such participant's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which the Agent or such participant could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
the Agent or such participant's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount reasonably deemed by the Agent or such participant to be material, then,
from time to time, the Company shall pay no later than five (5) days following
demand to the Agent or such participant such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate the Agent's or such participant's for such reduction. In
determining such amount or amounts, the Agent or such participant may use any
reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this
Paragraph 8.11 shall be available to the Agent or such participant regardless of
any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the
applicable law, regulation or condition. A certificate of the Agent or such
participant setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to
compensate the Agent or such participant with respect to this Section 8 and the
calculation thereof when delivered to the Company shall be conclusive on the
Company absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the
contrary, in the event the Agent or such participant has exercised its rights
pursuant to this paragraph, and subsequent thereto determines that the
additional amounts paid by the Company in whole or in part exceed the amount
which the Agent or such participant actually required to be made whole, the
excess, if any, shall be returned to the Company by the Agent or such
participant.

     8.12. 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 the Agent or such participant

                                       40


with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

     (a) subject the Agent or such participant to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Financing Agreement or change the basis of taxation of
payments to the Agent or such participant 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 the Agent or such participant by
the federal government or 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 the Agent or
such participant by reason of or in respect to this Financing Agreement and the
Loan Documents, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

     (c) impose on the Agent or such participant any other condition with
respect to this Financing Agreement or any other document, and the result of any
of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Agent or such participant of
making, renewing or maintaining its loans hereunder by an amount that the Agent
or such participant deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the loans by an amount that the
Agent or such participant deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment, then, in any case the Company shall pay the Agent or such
participant, within five (5) days following its demand, such additional cost or
such reduction, as the case may be. The Agent or such participant shall certify
the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the Company and the
calculation thereof and such certification shall be conclusive upon the Company
absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the
contrary, in the event the Agent or such participant has exercised its rights
pursuant to this paragraph, and subsequent thereto determine that the additional
amounts paid by the Company in whole or in part exceed the amount which the
Agent or such participant actually required pursuant hereto, the excess, if any,
shall be returned to the Company by the Agent or such participant.

     8.13 The Company may request LIBOR Loans on the following terms and
conditions:

          (a) The Company may elect, subsequent to 90 days from the Closing Date
and from time to time thereafter (i) to request any loan made hereunder to be a
LIBOR Loan as of the date of such loan or (ii) to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans
to LIBOR Loans, and may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Chase
Bank Rate Loans by giving the Agent at least three (3) Business Days' prior
irrevocable notice of such election, PROVIDED that any such conversion of LIBOR
Loans to Chase Bank Rate Loans shall only be made, subject to the second
following sentence, on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.
Should the Company elect to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, it
shall give the Agent at least four Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of
such election. If the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a loan that
is to be converted is not a Business Day or Working Day, then such conversion
shall be made on

                                       41


the next succeeding Business Day or Working Day, as the case may be, and during
the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business
Day, as the case may be, such loan shall bear interest as if it were a Chase
Bank Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding Chase Bank Rate Loans then
outstanding with respect to Revolving Loans may be converted to LIBOR Loans as
provided herein, PROVIDED that partial conversions shall be in multiples in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more. The Agent shall be entitled to
charge the Company a $500 fee upon the first effective day of any such election
for a LIBOR Loan.

          (b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an
Interest Period, PROVIDED the Company so notifies the Agent, at least three (3)
Business Days' prior to the expiration of said Interest Period, and PROVIDED
FURTHER that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default under this Financing Agreement, but shall be
automatically converted to a Chase Bank Rate Loan on the last day of the
Interest Period during which occurred such Default or Event of Default. Absent
such notification, LIBOR Rate Loans shall convert to Chase Bank Rate Loans on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each notice of election,
conversion or continuation furnished by the Company pursuant hereto shall
specify whether such election, conversion or continuation is for a one, two, or
three month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Agent (or any participant, if applicable) shall not be required to purchase
United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or from any other
applicable LIBOR Rate market or source or otherwise "match fund" to fund LIBOR
Rate Loans, but any and all provisions hereof relating to LIBOR Rate Loans shall
be deemed to apply as if the Agent (and any participant, if applicable) had
purchased such deposits to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans.

          (c) The Company may request a LIBOR Loan, convert any Chase Bank Rate
Loan or continue any LIBOR Loan provided there is then no Default or Event of
Default in effect.

     8.14 (a) The LIBOR Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period with
respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal
to the LIBOR determined for each Interest Period in accordance with the terms
hereof plus the following applicable margin (calculated on the Company's
Availability on the lesser of the date of any such request or the date of
funding):



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVAILABILITY                                     PRIME RATE               LIBOR RATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                    
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $30,000,000             Prime                    LIBOR + 2.25%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $20,000,000             Prime + 0.25%            LIBOR + 2.50%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $10,000,000             Prime + 0.50%            LIBOR + 2.75%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO $10,000,000                Prime + 1.0%             LIBOR + 3.25%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


          (b) If all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such outstanding

                                       42


amount, to the extent it is a LIBOR Loan, shall be converted to a Chase Bank
Rate Loan at the end of the last Interest Period therefor.

          (c) The Company may not have more than three (3) LIBOR Loans
outstanding at any given time.

     8.15 (a) Interest in respect of the LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360 day year and shall be payable as of the end of each month.

          (b) The Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the
Company a statement showing the quotations given by The Chase Manhattan Bank and
the computations used in determining any interest rate pursuant to
Paragraph 8.14 of Section 8 hereof.

     8.16 As further set forth in paragraph 8.12 above, in the event that the
Agent (or any financial institution which may become a participant hereunder)
shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that by reason
of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable for any Interest Period
with respect to: (a) a proposed loan that the Company has requested be made as a
LIBOR Loan; (b) a LIBOR Loan that will result from the requested conversion of a
Chase Bank Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan; or (c) the continuation of LIBOR Loans
beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
the Agent shall forthwith give written notice of such determination to the
Company at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested borrowing
date for such LIBOR Loan, the conversion date of such Chase Bank Rate Loan or
the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (i) any requested
LIBOR Loan shall be made as a Chase Bank Rate Loan, (ii) any Chase Bank Rate
Loan that was to have been converted to a LIBOR Loan shall be continued as a
Chase Bank Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted,
on the last day of then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to a Chase
Bank Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further
LIBOR Loan shall be made nor shall the Company have the right to convert a Chase
Bank Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

     8.17 If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day or Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day or Working Day unless the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which
event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day or
Working Day.

     8.18 Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation,
treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, shall make it unlawful for the Agent to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans as contemplated herein, the then outstanding LIBOR Loans, if any,
shall be converted automatically to Chase Bank Rate Loans as of the end of such
month, or within such earlier period as required by law. The Company hereby
agrees promptly to pay the Agent, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary
to compensate the Agent for any

                                       43


costs incurred by the Agent in making any conversion in accordance with this
Section 8 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by the
Agent to lenders of funds obtained by the Agent in order to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans hereunder.

     8.19 The Company agrees to indemnify and to hold the Agent (including any
participant) harmless from any loss or expense which the Agent or such
participant may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) Default by the Company
in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loans, as and
when the same shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Financing Agreement, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by the Agent or such participant to
lenders of funds obtained by either of them in order to maintain the LIBOR Loans
hereunder; (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing or conversion after
the Company has given a notice in accordance with Paragraph 8.13 of Section 8
hereof; (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, including, without limitation,
prepayments arising as a result of the application of the proceeds of Collateral
to the Revolving Loans; and (d) default by the Company in making any prepayment
after the Company had given notice to the Agent thereof. The determination by
the Agent of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written
notice to the Company, containing the Agent's calculations thereof in reasonable
detail, shall be conclusive on the Company in the absence of manifest error.
Calculation of all amounts payable under this paragraph with regard to LIBOR
Loans shall be made as though the Agent had actually funded the LIBOR Loans
through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market and currency, as the
case may be, bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an
amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable
to the relevant interest period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Agent may fund each
of the LIBOR Loans in any manner the Agent sees fit and the foregoing assumption
shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent
shall apply all proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts received by it from
or on behalf of the Company (i) initially to the Chase Bank Rate Loans and
(ii) subsequently to LIBOR Loans; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, (x) upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default or (y) in the event the aggregate amount of outstanding
LIBOR Rate Loans exceeds Availability or the applicable maximum levels set forth
therefor, the Agent may apply all such amounts received by it to the payment of
Obligations in such manner and in such order as the Agent may elect in its
reasonable business judgment. In the event that any such amounts are applied to
Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Loans, such application shall be treated as a
prepayment of such loans and the Agent shall be entitled to indemnification
hereunder. This covenant shall survive termination of this Financing Agreement
and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

     8.20 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change (for purposes hereof "Regulatory
Change" shall mean, with respect to the Agent, any change after the date of this
Financing Agreement in United States federal, state or foreign law or
regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation D) or the adoption or
making after such date of any interpretation, directive or request applying to a
class of banks including the Agent of or under any United States federal, state
or foreign law or regulations (whether or not having the force of law and
whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), the

                                       44


Agent either (a) incurs any material additional costs based on or measured by
the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or
other liabilities of such bank which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Financing
Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of the Agent
which includes LIBOR Loans, or (b) becomes subject to any material restrictions
on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold,
then, if the Agent so elects by notice to the Company, the obligation of the
Agent to make or continue, or to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in
effect.

     8.21 For purposes of this Financing Agreement and Section 8 thereof, any
reference to the Agent shall include any financial institution which may become
a participant or co-lender subsequent to the Closing Date.

SECTION 9. POWERS

     The Company hereby constitutes the Agent, or any person or agent the Agent
may designate, as its attorney-in-fact, at the Company's cost and expense, to
exercise all of the following powers, which being coupled with an interest,
shall be irrevocable until all Obligations to the Agent have been paid in full:

     (a) To receive, take, endorse, sign, assign and deliver, all in the name of
the Agent or the Company, any and all checks, notes, drafts, and other documents
or instruments relating to the Collateral;

to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such
address as the Agent may designate;

     (c) To request from customers indebted on Accounts at any time, in the name
of the Agent information concerning the amounts owing on the Accounts;

     (d) To request from customers indebted on Accounts at any time, in the name
of the Company, in the name of certified public accountant designated by the

interest therein and to notify customers indebted on Accounts to make payment

     (f) To take or bring, in the name of the Agent or the Company, all steps,
actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Agent necessary or desirable to
enforce or effect collection of the Accounts.

                                       45


     Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained to the contrary, the powers
set forth in (b), (c), (e) and (f) above may only be exercised after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time as such Event of Default
is waived in writing by the Agent.

          of the creditors of the Company for purposes of compromising the debts
          and obligations of the Company;

          of any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization,
          receivership or similar proceeding under any federal or state law by
          creditors of the Company, provided that such Default shall not be
          deemed an Event of Default if such proceeding is controverted within
          ten (10) days and dismissed and vacated within forty-five (45) days of
          commencement, except in the event that any of the actions sought in
          any such proceeding shall occur or the Company shall take action to
          authorize or effect any of the actions in any such proceeding; or
          (iii) the commencement (x) by the Company's subsidiaries, or any one
          of them, of any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization,

          vacated within forty-five (45) days of commencement, except in the
          event that any of the actions sought in any such proceeding shall
          occur or the Company's subsidiaries, or any one of them, shall take
          action to authorize or effect any of the actions in any such
          proceeding;
     (d)  breach by the Company of any warranty, representation or covenant
          contained herein (other than those referred to in sub-paragraph (e)
          below) or in any other written agreement between the Company or the
          Agent, provided that such Default by the Company of any of the
          warranties, representations or covenants referred in this clause (d)
          shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default unless and until such
          Default shall remain unremedied to the Agent's satisfaction for a
          period of thirty (30) days from the date of such breach;
     (e)  breach by the Company of any warranty, representation or covenant of
          Paragraphs 3.3 (other than the fourth sentence of Paragraph 3.3) and
          3.4 of Section 3 hereof;

                                       46


          Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4 (other than the first sentence of
          Paragraph 6.4) of Section 6 hereof; Paragraphs 7.1, 7.5, 7.6, and 7.8
          through 7.14 hereof;
     (f)  failure of the Company to pay any of the Obligations within five (5)
          Business Days of the due date thereof, provided that nothing contained
          herein shall prohibit the Agent from charging such amounts to the
          Revolving Loan Account on the due date thereof;
     (g)  the Company shall be found by a competent tribunal to have(i) engage
          in any "prohibited transaction" as defined in ERISA, (ii) have any
          "accumulated funding deficiency" as defined in ERISA, (iii) have any

          Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation shall seek appointment, or is
          appointed, as trustee or administrator of any "plan", as defined in
          ERISA, and with respect to this sub-paragraph (g) such event or
          condition (x) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days from
          date of receipt by the Company of written notice or the occurrence
          thereof and (y) could, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, subject
          the Company to any tax, penalty or other liability material to the
          business, operations or financial condition of the Company;
     (h)  without the prior written consent of the Agent and, except as
          permitted in the Subordination Agreement, the Company shall (x) amend
          or modify the Subordinated Debt, or (y) make any payment on account of
          the Subordinated Debt; or

          agreement evidencing (x) Subordinated Debt or (y) any other
          Indebtedness of the Company having a principal amount in excess of
          $250,000.

     10.2 Upon the occurrence of a Default and/or an Event of Default, the Agent
in its sole discretion may, or upon the written direction of the Required
Lenders the Agent shall, declare that, all loans, advances and extensions of
credit provided for in Sections 3 and 5 of this Financing Agreement shall be
thereafter in the Agent's or the Required Lenders' sole discretion, and the
obligation of the Agent and/or the Lenders to make Revolving Loans, open Letters
of Credit and provide Letters of Credit Guaranties shall cease unless such
Default or Event of Default is waived in writing by the Required Lenders or
cured to the Agent's or the Required Lenders' satisfaction in the exercise of
the Agent's and the Lenders' reasonable judgment. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Agent in its sole discretion may, or upon the written
direction of the Required Lenders the Agent shall, declare that: (a) all
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable; (b) the Agent may charge
the Company the Default Rate of Interest on all then outstanding or thereafter
incurred Obligations in lieu of the interest provided for in Section 8 of this
Financing Agreement, provided that, with respect to this clause "(b)" the Agent
has given the Company written notice of the Event of Default, provided further
however, that no notice is required if the Event of Default is the Event listed
in Paragraph 10.1(c) of this Section 10; and (c) the Agent may immediately
terminate this Financing Agreement upon notice to the Company; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence

                                       47


of an Event of Default listed in Paragraph 10.1(c) of this Section 10, this
Financing Agreement shall automatically terminate and all Obligations shall
become due and payable, without any action, declaration, notice or demand by the
Agent. The exercise of any option is not exclusive of any other option, which
may be exercised at any time by the Agent.

     10.3 Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent
may, to the extent permitted by law: (a) remove from any premises where same may
be located any and all books and records, computers, electronic media and
software programs associated with any Collateral (including any electronic
records, contracts and signatures pertaining thereto), documents, instruments,
files and records, and any receptacles or cabinets containing same, relating to
the Accounts, or the Agent may use, at the Company's expense, such of the
Company's personnel, supplies or space at the Company's places of business or
otherwise, as may be necessary to properly administer and control the Accounts
or the handling of collections and realizations thereon; (b) bring suit, in the
name of the Company or the Agent, and generally shall have all other rights
respecting said Accounts, including without limitation the right to: accelerate
or extend the time of payment, settle, compromise, release in whole or in part
any amounts owing on any Accounts and issue credits in the name of the Company
or the Agent; (c) sell, assign and deliver the Collateral and any returned,
reclaimed or repossessed Inventory, with or without advertisement, at public or
private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at the Agent's sole option and
discretion, and the Agent may bid or become a purchaser at any such sale, free
from any right of redemption, which right is hereby expressly waived by the
Company; (d) foreclose the security interests in the Collateral created herein
or by the Loan Documents by any available judicial procedure, or to take
possession of any or all of the Collateral, including any Inventory, Equipment
and/or Other Collateral without judicial process, and to enter any premises
where any Inventory and Equipment and/or Other Collateral may be located for the
purpose of taking possession of or removing the same; and (e) exercise any other
rights and remedies provided in law, in equity, by contract or otherwise. The
Agent shall have the right, without notice or advertisement, to sell, lease, or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether in its then
condition or after further preparation or processing, in the name of the Company
or the Agent, or in the name of such other party as the Agent may designate,
either at public or private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk,
for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations (including
but not limited to warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the
like), and upon such other terms and conditions as the Agent in its sole
discretion may deem advisable, and the Agent shall have the right to purchase at
any such sale. If any Inventory and Equipment shall require rebuilding,
repairing, maintenance or preparation, the Agent shall have the right, at its
option, to do such of the aforesaid as is necessary, for the purpose of putting
the Inventory and Equipment in such saleable form as the Agent shall deem
appropriate and any such costs shall be deemed an Obligation hereunder. Any
action taken by CIT pursuant to this paragraph shall not effect commercial
reasonableness of the sale. The Company agrees, at the request of the Agent, to
assemble the Inventory and Equipment and to make it available to the Agent at
premises of the Company or elsewhere and to make available to the Agent the
premises and facilities of the Company for the purpose of the Agent's taking
possession of, removing or putting the Inventory and Equipment in saleable form.
If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is
agreed that ten (10) days notice shall constitute reasonable notification and
full compliance with

                                       48


the law. The net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent's exercise of any of the
foregoing rights, (after deducting all charges, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of the
Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as the Agent may elect,
and the Company shall remain liable to the Agent for any deficiencies, and the
Agent in turn agrees to remit to the Company or its successors or assigns, any
surplus resulting therefrom. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not
intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the
exercise of any other rights, all of which shall be cumulative. The Company
hereby indemnifies the Agent and holds the Agent harmless from any and all
costs, expenses, claims, liabilities, Out-of-Pocket Expenses or otherwise,
incurred or imposed on the Agent by reason of the exercise of any of its rights,
remedies and interests hereunder, including, without limitation, from any sale
or transfer of Collateral, preserving, maintaining or securing the Collateral,
defending its interests in Collateral (including pursuant to any claims brought
by the Company, the Company as debtor-in-possession, any secured or unsecured
creditors of the Company, any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy, or otherwise),
and the Company hereby agrees to so indemnify and hold the Agent harmless,
absent the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnification shall
survive termination of this Financing Agreement until such time as all
Obligations (including the foregoing) have been finally and indefeasibly paid in
full. In furtherance thereof the Agent, may establish such reserves for
Obligations hereunder (including any contingent Obligations) as it may deem
advisable in its reasonable business judgment. Any applicable mortgage(s),
deed(s) of trust or assignment(s) issued to the Agent on the Real Estate shall
govern the rights and remedies of the Agent thereto.

SECTION 11. TERMINATION

     Except as otherwise permitted herein, the Agent may terminate this
Financing Agreement only as of the initial or any subsequent Anniversary Date
and then only by giving the Company at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Agent may terminate the
Financing Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
provided, however, that if the Event of Default is an event listed in
Paragraph 10.1(c) of Section 10 of this Financing Agreement, this Financing
Agreement shall terminate in accordance with paragraph 10.2 of Section 10. This
Financing Agreement, unless terminated as herein provided, shall automatically
continue from Anniversary Date to Anniversary Date. The Company may terminate
this Financing Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice
to the Agent, provided that the Company pays to the Agent immediately on demand
an Early Termination Fee and/or the Prepayment Premium, if applicable. All
Obligations shall become due and payable as of any termination hereunder or
under Section 10 hereof and, pending a final accounting, the Agent may withhold
any balances in the Company's account (unless supplied with an indemnity
satisfactory to the Agent) to cover all of the Obligations, whether absolute or
contingent, including, but not limited to, cash reserves for any contingent
Obligations, including an amount of 110% of the face amount of any outstanding
Letters of Credit with an expiry date on, or within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of termination of this Financing Agreement. All of the Agent's
rights, liens and security interests shall continue after any termination until
all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

                                       49


SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company hereby waives
diligence, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand,
presentment and protest and any notices thereof as well as notice of nonpayment.
No delay or omission of the Agent or the Company to exercise any right or remedy
hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall
impair any such right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any
such Event of Default. No single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right
or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or precludes any
other right or remedy.

     12.2 This Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents executed and delivered
in connection therewith constitute the entire agreement between the Company and
the Agent; supersede any prior agreements; can be changed only by a writing
signed by both the Company and the Agent; and shall bind and benefit the Company
and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns.

     12.3 In no event shall the Company, upon demand by the Agent for payment of
any Indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or
otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount
permitted by law. Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in
connection herewith, the Agent shall never be entitled to receive, charge or
apply, as interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of
the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law. If the Agent
ever receives, collects or applies any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial
repayment of principal and treated as such; and if principal is paid in full,
any remaining excess shall be refunded to the Company. This paragraph shall
control every other provision hereof, the Loan Documents and of any other
agreement made in connection herewith.

     12.4 If any provision hereof or of any other agreement made in connection
herewith is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully
severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain
in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision's
severance. Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added
automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable
provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.

     12.5 THE COMPANY, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR
REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGENT BE LIABLE
FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

     12.6 Except as otherwise herein provided, any notice or other communication
required hereunder shall be in writing (provided that, any electronic
communications from the Company with

                                       50


respect to any request, transmission, document, electronic signature, electronic

purposes of this Financing Agreement, provided further that any such
transmission shall not relieve the Company from any other obligation hereunder
to communicate further in writing), and shall be deemed to have been validly

SECTION 13. AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LENDERS

         13.1 (a) The Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall disburse all
loans and advances to the Company and shall handle all collections of Collateral
and repayment of Obligations. It is understood that for purposes of advances to
the Company and for purposes of this Section 13 the Agent is using the funds of
the Agent.

              (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to any advance to the Company that such Lender will not make the
amount which would constitute its share of the borrowing on such date available
to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount
available to the Agent on a Settlement Date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. A
certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount
owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such
Lender's share of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by
such Lender on the Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans
hereunder, on demand, from the Company without prejudice to any rights which the
Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this
subsection shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its
ratable portion of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in
accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
obligate the Agent to make available to the Company the full amount of a
requested advance when the Agent has any notice (written or otherwise) that any
of the Lenders will not advance its ratable portion thereof.

          13.2 On the Settlement Date, the Agent and the Lenders shall each
remit to the other, in immediately available funds, all amounts necessary so as
to ensure that, as of the Settlement Date, the Lenders shall have their
proportionate share of all outstanding Obligations.

          13.3 The Agent shall forward to each Lender, at the end of each month,
a copy of the account statement rendered by the Agent to the Company.

          13.4 The Agent shall, after receipt of any interest and fees earned
under this Financing Agreement, promptly remit to the Lenders: (a) their pro
rata portion of all fees, provided, however, that the Lenders (other than CIT in
its role as the Agent) shall (i) not share in the Collateral Management Fee or
Documentation Fees or the fees provided for in Section 8, Paragraph 8.12; and
(ii) receive their share of the Loan Facility Fee in accordance with their
respective agreements with the Agent; (b) interest computed at the rate and as
provided for in Section 8 of this Financing Agreement on all outstanding amounts
advanced by the Lenders on each Settlement Date, prior to adjustment, that are
subsequent to the last remittance by the Agent to the Lenders of the Company's
interest computed at the rate and as provided for in Section 8 of this Financing
Agreement.

          13.5 (a) The Company acknowledges that the Lenders with the prior
written consent of the Agent may sell participation in the loans and
extensions of credit made and to be made to the Company hereunder. The
Company further acknowledges that in doing so, the Lenders may grant to such
participants certain rights which would require the participant's consent to
certain waivers, amendments and other actions with respect to the provisions
of this Financing Agreement, provided

                                       52


that the consent of any such participant shall not be required except for
matters requiring the consent of all Lenders hereunder as set forth in
Section 14, Paragraph 14.10 hereof.

          (b) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant
or purchasing lender (each, a "TRANSFEREE") and any prospective Transferee any
and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning the Company
and their affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such Lender's credit
evaluation of the Company and their affiliates prior to entering into this
Agreement, provided that such Transferee agrees to hold such information in
confidence in the ordinary course of its business.

     13.6 The Company hereby agrees that each Lender is solely responsible for
its portion of the Line of Credit and that neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall be responsible for, nor assume any obligations for the failure of any
Lender to make available its portion of the Line of Credit. Further, should any
Lender refuse to make available its portion of the Line of Credit, then the
other Lender may, but without obligation to do so, increase, unilaterally, its
portion of the Line of Credit in which event the Company are so obligated to
that other Lender.

     13.7 In the event that the Agent, the Lenders or any one of them is sued or
threatened with suit by the Company or any one of them, or by any receiver,
trustee, creditor or any committee of creditors on account of any preference,
voidable transfer or lender liability issue, alleged to have occurred or been
received as a result of, or during the transactions contemplated under this
Financing Agreement, then in such event any money paid in satisfaction or
compromise of such suit, action, claim or demand and any expenses, costs and
attorneys' fees paid or incurred in connection therewith, whether by the Agent,
the Lenders or any one of them, shall be shared proportionately by the Lenders.
In addition, any costs, expenses, fees or disbursements incurred by outside
agencies or attorneys retained by the Agent to effect collection or enforcement
of any rights in the Collateral, including enforcing, preserving or maintaining
rights under this Financing Agreement shall be shared proportionately between
and among the Lenders to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or from the
proceeds of Collateral. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
suits, actions, proceedings or claims that (x) predate the date of this
Financing Agreement or (y) are based on transactions, actions or omissions that
predate the date of this Financing Agreement.

     13.8 Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that any money or
assets of the Company held or received by such Lender, no matter how or when
received, shall be applied to the reduction of the Obligations (to the extent
permitted hereunder) after (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (y) the
election by the Required Lenders to accelerate the Obligations. In addition, the
Company authorize, and the Lenders shall have the right, without notice, upon
any amount becoming due and payable hereunder, to set-off and apply against any
and all property held by, or in the possession of such Lender the Obligations
due such Lenders.

     13.9 The Agent shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more
commercial banks, commercial finance lenders or other financial institutions all
or a portion of its rights and obligations

                                       53


under this Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligations
under the Line of Credit, the Revolving Loans and its rights and obligations
with respect to Letters of Credit). Upon execution of an Assignment and Transfer
Agreement, (a) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant
to such assignment, have the rights and obligations of the Agent as the case may
be hereunder and (b) the Agent shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Financing Agreement. The
Company shall, if necessary, execute any documents reasonably required to
effectuate the assignments. No other Lender may assign its interest in the loans
and advances and extensions of credit hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Agent. In the event that the Agent consents to any such
assignment by any other Lenders (i) the amount being assigned shall in no event
be less than the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 or (y) the entire interest of such
Lender hereunder, (ii) such assignment shall be of a pro-rata portion of all of
such assigning Lender's loans and commitments hereunder and (iii) the parties to
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and
Transfer Agreement, and, at the Agent's election, a processing and recording fee
of $3,000 payable by the Company to the Agent for its own account.

SECTION 14. AGENCY

     14.1 Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CIT as the
Agent for the Lenders under this Financing Agreement and any ancillary loan
documents and irrevocably authorizes CIT as the Agent for such Lender, to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Financing Agreement and
all ancillary documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Financing Agreement
and all ancillary documents together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Financing Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Financing Agreement and the ancillary documents or otherwise exist against the
Agent.

     14.2 The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Financing Agreement
and all ancillary documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall
be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties.

     14.3 Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, or attorneys-in-fact shall be (i) liable to any Lender for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in
connection with this Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents (except for
its or such person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or
(ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer
thereof contained in this Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Financing
Agreement and all ancillary documents or for the

                                       54


value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents or for any failure of the
Company to perform their obligations thereunder. The Agent shall not be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Company.

     14.4 The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or
persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders, or the
Required Lenders, as the case may be, as it deems appropriate or it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting,
or in refraining from acting, under this Financing Agreement and all ancillary
documents in accordance with a request of the Lenders, or the Required Lenders,
as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

     14.5 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has
received written notice from a Lender or the Company describing such Default or
Event of Default. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Lenders, or Required Lenders, as the case may be; PROVIDED that
unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, the Agent may in
the interim (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. In the event the Agent
in its sole discretion, or at the request of the Required Lenders, continues to
make Revolving Loans and advances under this Financing Agreement upon the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, any such Revolving Loans and
advances may be in such amounts (subject to Paragraph 14.10 hereof) and on such
additional terms and conditions as the Agent or the Required Lenders may deem
appropriate.

     14.6 Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each
Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into
the business, operations, property, financial and other condition

                                       55


and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to enter into this
Financing Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under the Financing Agreement and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company. The Agent, however,
shall provide the Lenders with copies of all financial statements, projections
and business plans which come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
officers, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

     14.7 (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation
of the Company to do so), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements (including, without limitation, all Out-of-Pocket Expenses) of any
kind whatsoever (including negligence on the part of the Agent) which may at any
time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Financing Agreement or any ancillary
documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; PROVIDED that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the payment of the
Obligations.

          (b) The Agent will use its reasonable business judgment in handling
the collection of the Accounts, enforcement of its rights hereunder and
realization upon the Collateral but shall not be liable to the Lenders for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith or on the written advice of
counsel. The Lenders expressly release the Agent from any and all liability and
responsibility (express or implied), for any loss, depreciation of or delay in
collecting or failing to realize on any Collateral, the Obligations or any
guaranties therefor and for any mistake, omission or error in judgment in
passing upon or accepting any Collateral or in making (or in failing to make)
examinations or audits or for granting indulgences or extensions to the Company,
any account debtor or any guarantor, other than resulting from the Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

     14.8 The Agent may make loans to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With
respect to its loans made or renewed by it or loan obligations hereunder as
Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities
under this Financing Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though
it was not the Agent and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the
Agent in its individual capacity.

     14.9 The Agent may resign as the Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders
and such resignation shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor
Agent. If the Agent shall resign as Agent, then the Lenders shall appoint a
successor Agent for the Lenders whereupon such successor

                                       56


Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent and the term
"Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the
former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the
parties to this Financing Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation
hereunder as the Agent the provisions of this Section 14 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Agent.

     14.10 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Financing Agreement to the
contrary, the Agent will not, without the prior written consent of all Lenders:
(a) amend the Financing Agreement to (i) increase the Line of Credit;
(ii) reduce the interest rates; (iii) reduce or waive (x) any fees in which the
Lenders share hereunder, or (y) the repayment of any Obligations due the
Lenders; (iv) extend the maturity of the Obligations; or (v) alter or amend
(x) this Paragraph 14.10 or (y) the definitions of Eligible Accounts Receivable,
Eligible Inventory, Inventory Loan Cap, Collateral or Required Lenders, or
(vi) increase the advance percentages against Eligible Accounts Receivable or
Eligible Inventory or alter or amend the Agent's criteria for determining
compliance with such definitions of Eligible Accounts Receivable and/or Eligible
Inventory if the effect thereof is to increase Availability; (b) except as
otherwise required in this Financing Agreement, release any guaranty or
Collateral in excess of $500,000 during any year, or (c) knowingly make any
Revolving Loan or assist in opening any Letter of Credit hereunder if after
giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit
hereunder for the Company would exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the
maximum amount available under this Financing Agreement (the portion in excess
of 100% of such maximum available amount shall be referred to herein as the
"Agent Permitted Overadvances"), provided that the Agent shall not be entitled
to continue to knowingly make such Agent Permitted Overadvances for a period in
excess of ninety (90) days without the Lenders' consent, and provided further
that the foregoing limitations shall not prohibit or restrict advances by the
Agent to preserve and protect Collateral. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12, Paragraph 12.2 and the provisions of this Paragraph 14.10 of
Section 14 of this Financing Agreement, in all other respects the Agent is
authorized by each of the Lenders to take such actions or fail to take such
actions under this Financing Agreement if the Agent, in its reasonable
discretion, deems such to be advisable and in the best interest of the Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Financing
Agreement (including the provisions of Section 12, Paragraph 12.2 and Section
14, Paragraph 14.10 hereof) the Agent is authorized to take such actions or fail
to take such actions in connection with (a) the exercise of (i) any and all
rights and remedies under this Financing Agreement (including but not limited to
the exercise of rights and remedies under Section 10, Paragraph 10.2 of this
Financing Agreement) and (ii) its discretion in (x) determining compliance with
the eligibility requirements of Eligible Accounts Receivable and/or Eligible
Inventory and establishing reserves against Availability in connection therewith
and/or (y) the making of Agent Permitted Overadvances, and/or (b) the release of
Collateral not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year,
and/or (c) curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the terms of this
Financing Agreement; provided that the Agent, in its reasonable discretion,
deems such to be advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. In the
event the Agent terminates this Financing Agreement pursuant to the terms
hereof, the Agent will cease making any loans or advances upon the effective
date of termination except for any loans or advances which the

                                       57


Agent may deem, in its sole discretion, are reasonably required to maintain,
protect or realize upon the Collateral.

     14.11 In the event any Lender's consent is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Financing Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any
request by the Agent for such consent within 10 days after such request is made
to such Lender, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent. In addition,
in the event that any Lender declines to give its consent to any such request,
it is hereby mutually agreed that the Agent and/or any other Lender shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to purchase such Lender's share of the Loans
for the full amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the date
of such purchase.

     14.12 Each Lender agrees that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11
of this Financing Agreement any Lender may terminate this Financing Agreement
and the Line of Credit only as of the initial or any subsequent Anniversary Date
and then only by giving the Agent 90 days prior written notice thereof. Within
30 days after receipt of any such termination notice, the Agent shall, at its
option, either (i) give notice of termination to the Company hereunder or
(ii) purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, the Lender's share of the
Obligations hereunder for the full amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon.
Unless so terminated this Financing Agreement and the Line of Credit shall be
automatically extended from Anniversary Date to Anniversary Date. Termination of
this Financing Agreement by any of the Lenders as herein provided shall not
affect the Lenders' respective rights and obligations under this Financing
Agreement incurred prior to the effective date of termination as set forth in
the preceding sentence.

     14.13 If the Agent is required at any time to return to the Company or to a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official any portion
of the payments made by the Company to the Agent as result of a bankruptcy or
similar proceeding with respect to the Company, any guarantor or any other
person or entity or otherwise, then each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent,
forthwith return to the Agent its ratable share of any such payments made to
such Lender by the Agent, together with its ratable share of interest and/or
penalties, if any, payable by the Lenders; this provision shall survive the
termination of this Financing Agreement.

     14.14 The Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public
information provided by the Company to them, in the ordinary course of their
business, provided that the foregoing confidentiality provision shall terminate
one (1) year after the termination date of this Financing Agreement, and
provided further that any such Lenders may disclose such information (i) to any
applicable bank regulatory and auditor personnel and (ii) upon the advise of
their counsel.

business day, and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall
be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

This Note is one of the Promissory Notes referred to in the Financing Agreement,

separate ledgers maintained by the Agent. The aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all advances made pursuant hereto may be set forth in the balance column on
said grid page or such ledgers maintained by the Agent. All such advances,
whether or not so recorded, shall be due as part of this Note.

The Company confirms that any amount received by or paid to the Agent in
connection with the Financing Agreement and/or any balances standing to its
credit on any of its or their accounts on the Agent's books under the Financing
Agreement may in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreement be applied
in reduction of this Note, but no balance or amounts shall be deemed to effect
payment in whole or in part of this Note unless the Agent shall have actually
charged such account or accounts for the purposes of such reduction or payment
of this Note.

Financing Agreement or upon termination of the Financing Agreement, all amounts
then remaining unpaid on this Note may become, or be declared to be, immediately
due and payable as provided in the Financing Agreement.
