of Financed Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair,
rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for
any reason for a period equal to at least the remainder of the term of this
Agreement (an "Event of Loss"), then in each case, Borrower:

         (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Borrower's
option, will (i) pay to Bank on account of the Obligations all accrued
interest to the date of the prepayment, plus all outstanding principal, plus
the Final Payment; or (ii) repair or replace any Financed Equipment subject
to an Event of Loss provided the repaired or replaced Financed Equipment is
of equal or like value to the Financed Equipment subject to an Event of Loss
and provided further that Bank has a first priority perfected security
interest in such repaired or replaced Financed Equipment.

         (b) during the continuance of an Event of Default, on or before the
Payment Date after such Event of Loss for each such item of Financed
Equipment subject to such Event of Loss, Borrower will, at Bank's option, pay

excess of the amount owed under this Section, Bank shall promptly remit to
Borrower the amount in excess of the amount owed to Bank.

         Borrower will execute any further instruments and take further
action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue Bank's security
interest in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

8.1      PAYMENT DEFAULT.

         If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 business
days after their due date. During the additional period the failure to cure
the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made
during the cure period);

8.2      COVENANT DEFAULT.

         If Borrower does not perform any obligation in Section 6 or violates
any covenant in Section 7 or does not perform or observe any other material

days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or
cannot be cured after Borrower's attempts within 10 day period, and the
default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower has an
additional period (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the default.
During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not an Event
of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

8.3      MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE.

         (i) If there occurs a material impairment in the perfection or
priority of the Bank's security interest in the Collateral or in the value of
such Collateral (other than normal depreciation) which is not covered by
adequate insurance or (ii) if the Bank determines, based upon information
available to it and in its reasonable judgment, that there is a reasonable

financial covenants in Section 6 during the next succeeding financial
reporting period.

8.4      ATTACHMENT.

         If any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached, seized,

part of its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a
material portion of Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or
assessment is filed against any of Borrower's assets by any government agency
and not paid within 10 days after Borrower receives notice. These are not
Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by

8.5      INSOLVENCY.

         If Borrower becomes insolvent or if Borrower begins an Insolvency

<PAGE>

8.6      OTHER AGREEMENTS.

party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness

Credit Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or

8.8      MISREPRESENTATIONS.

         If Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any material
misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or
representation in this Agreement or in any writing delivered to Bank or to
induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.

9        BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without
notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

         (a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an
Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are
immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

         (b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

         (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

         (d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will
assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase,
contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its
security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a
license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise
any of Bank's rights or remedies;

         (e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit
or the account of Borrower;

         (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare
for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in
completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral
and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section,
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to
Bank's benefit; and

         (g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.


                                      14

<PAGE>

9.2      POWER OF ATTORNEY.

         Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues,
Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii)
sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or
drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims
under Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and
claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on
terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the
name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the
power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to
perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of
whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's
attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an
interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3      ACCOUNTS COLLECTION.

         When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any
Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and
verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust
for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank
in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for
deposit.

9.4      BANK EXPENSES.

         If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and
secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to
make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5      BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.

         If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207
of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b)
any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the
Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of
the Collateral.

9.6      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

         Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right
or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is
not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only
effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7      DEMAND WAIVER.

         Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity,
release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which
Borrower is liable.
