in which the Bank shall make entries for each Advance and such other debits and
credits as shall be appropriate in connection with the credit facilities granted

any amount so payable under this Agreement, the Bank may, at its option and

<PAGE>


this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount so payable, which Advance shall
thereafter bear interest as provided hereunder.

     9.2 DEFAULT INTEREST RATE: If an Event of Default, or an event which, with
notice or passage of time could become an Event of Default, has occurred or is

or rates then in effect under this Agreement.

     9.3 DISPOSAL OF INVOICES: All documents, schedules, invoices or other
papers received by the Bank from the Borrowers may be destroyed or disposed of
six (6) months after receipt by the Bank, unless the Borrowers request in

     9.4 RIGHTS OF THE BANK WITH OR WITHOUT DEFAULT: The Borrowers agrees that
the Bank may at any time and at its option, whether or not the Borrowers are in
default:

     (i) Require the Borrowers to direct all Account Debtors to forward all
remittances, payments and proceeds of the Collateral directly to the Bank at
such address as the Bank may designate. In connection therewith, each of the
Borrowers hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank as its
attorney-in-fact to endorse such Borrower's name on any notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidence of payment that may come into the
Bank's possession.

     (ii) Require the Borrowers to deliver to the Bank, at such times designated
by the Bank, records and schedules which show the status and condition of the
Collateral, where it is located and such contracts or other matters which affect
the Collateral.

     (iii) Send verification requests to any Account Debtor.

     (iv) Make inquiries of the Borrowers' trade vendors.

     9.5 INDEMNIFICATION: The Borrowers agree to hold the Bank harmless from and
indemnify and defend the Bank from any liability, claim, loss or expense
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) arising from any transaction
between any of the Borrowers and any Account Debtor including, but not limited
to, any loss, claim or liability arising from:

     (i) Any violation of any federal or state consumer protection law
(including, but not limited to, the federal Truth-In-Lending Act) and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

     (ii) Improper collection practices or procedures of any of the Borrowers.

     (iii) Any unlawful acts taken by any of the Borrowers in connection with
the collection of any Account(s).

     (iv) Any suit by any person against the Bank resulting or arising from such
person's dealings with any of the Borrowers.

     9.6 RELIANCE AND FURTHER ASSURANCES: Each warranty, representation,
covenant, obligation and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been relied upon by the Bank regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by the Bank and shall be cumulative
and in addition to any other warranties, representations, covenants and
agreements which any of the Borrowers now or hereafter shall give, or cause to
be given, to the Bank. The Borrowers agree to execute all documents and
instruments and to perform such acts as the Bank may reasonably deem necessary
to confirm and secure to the Bank all rights and remedies conferred upon the
Bank by this agreement and all other documents related thereto.


                                    Page 20
<PAGE>


     9.7 NO GUARANTY OR SURETY: If any Borrower hereunder is deemed to be a
surety or guarantor due to its joint and several liability hereunder such
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees to the
matters set forth below:

     (i) Each Borrower waives its rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or
may become available to such Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, of the California Civil Code and as they may be amended or superseded
in the future. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Borrower(s) arising from the Bank's election of a remedy on any indebtedness
under bankruptcy or other debtor relief laws or under any other laws, including,
but not limited to those purporting to reduce the Bank rights against any
Borrower in proportion to the principal obligation of any indebtedness (as
presently contained in Section 2809 of the California Civil Code and as it may
be amended or superseded in the future).

     (ii) Each Borrower waives all fights and defenses that such Borrower may
have because the Borrower's debt is secured by real property. This means, among
other things:

     (1) The Bank may collect .from such Borrower without first foreclosing on
any real property or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower(s);

     (2) If the Bank forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the
Borrowers:

     (i) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price.

     (ii) The Bank may collect from the Borrower(s) even if the Bank, by
foreclosing on such real property collateral, has destroyed any right such
Borrower(s) may have to collect from any other Borrower(s).

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the
Borrower(s) may have because the Borrowers' debt is secured by real property.
These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or
defenses based upon Sections 580 a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure.

     (iii) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by the Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as
a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Borrowers'
indebtedness, has destroyed such Borrowers' rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against any other Borrower(s) by the operation of Section 580d of
the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

     (iv) Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of:

     (1) The cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of
the Borrowers' indebtedness;

     (2) The application by the Borrowers of the proceeds of any Advance for
purposes other than purposes represented by the Borrowers to the Bank intended
or understood by the Bank or such Borrower;


                                    Page 21
<PAGE>


     (3) Any act or omission by the Bank which directly or indirectly results in
or aids the discharge of the Borrowers or any Borrowers' indebtedness by
operation of law or otherwise; or

     (4) Any modification of the Borrowers' indebtedness, in any form
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, acceleration
or other change in the time for payment of such indebtedness or other change in
the terms of such indebtedness or any part thereof including, but not limited
to, increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.

     (v) Each Borrower waives the benefit of the statute of limitations
affecting such Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.

     (vi) Each Borrower waives all right to require the Bank to: (i) proceed
against any other Borrower(s), any endorser, cosigner, other guarantor or other
person liable on any indebtedness; (ii) join any endorser, cosigner, other
guarantor on any indebtedness in any action or actions that may be brought and
prosecuted by the Bank solely and separately against any Borrower(s) on any
indebtedness; (iii) proceed against any item or items of collateral securing any
indebtedness or any guaranty thereof; (iv) give notice of the terms, time and
place of any public or private sale of personal property held from Borrowers or
any person or comply with Section 9504 of the California Uniform Commercial
Code; or `(v) pursue or refrain from pursuing any other remedy whatsoever in the
Bank's power.

     (vii) Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability
or other defense of any other Borrower(s), successors or any endorser, cosigner,
other guarantor or other person liable on any indebtedness. Until all
indebtedness has been paid in full, each Borrower shall not have any right of
subrogation and each Borrower waives any benefit of and right to participate in
any collateral now or hereafter held by the Bank. Each Borrower waives all
presentments, demands for performance, notices or nonperformance, protests,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of sale of any collateral
securing any indebtedness or any guaranty thereof, and notice of the existence,
creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness.

     9.8 COMMUNICATIONS FROM BORROWERS; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; EXTENT OF
OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations shall not
be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Bank to obtain
direction from all the Borrowers in any given case (it being expressly agreed
and understood that each of the Borrowers is empowered to act on behalf of all
the Borrowers with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the
credit facility evidenced hereby). The liability of the Borrowers hereunder is
joint and several. The Borrowers hereby: (1) acknowledge and agree that the Bank
shall have no obligation to proceed against any Borrower before proceeding
against any other Borrower or Borrowers or any of the guarantors under their
respective guaranties, (2) waive any defense to their obligations under this
Agreement based upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or
cessation of liability of any Borrower versus any other or of any other Person,
and (3) waive any right of subrogation or ability to proceed against any Person
or to participate in any security for the Obligations until the Obligations have
been paid and reformed in full.

     9.9 ATTORNEYS' FEES: The Borrowers shall pay to the Bank all costs and
expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by
Bank in connection with the administration, enforcement, including any
bankruptcy, appeal or the enforcement of any judgment or any refinancing


                                    Page 22

or restructuring of this Agreement or any document, instrument or agreement
executed with respect to, evidencing or securing the indebtedness hereunder.

     9.10 NOTICES: All notices, payments, requests, information and demands
which either party hereto may desire, or may be required to give or make to the
other party hereto, shall be given or made to such party by hand delivery or

obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses, actions and causes
of action, of every type, kind, nature, description or character whatsoever,

               does not know or expect to exist in his favor at the time of
               executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
               affected his settlement with the debtor."

By entering into this Release, each party recognizes that no facts or
representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts
in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to

entitled to set aside this Release by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of
mistake of fact or any other circumstances whatsoever. Each party acknowledges
that it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or
statement made by Bank with respect to the facts

rights.
