                          Amount and Terms of Advances

         Section 2.01 Advances. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may obtain Advances, prepay, and obtain new Advances under this Section
2.01, and the Bank shall make such Advances to the Borrower from time to time
during the period from the date hereof to October 30, 2004 or the earlier date
of termination of the Line of Credit pursuant to Section 8.03, in an aggregate
maximum amount up to but not in excess of the Line of Credit. As used in this
Agreement, the term "LINE OF CREDIT" means the lesser of (a) $15,000,000.00, or
(b)(i) the Cash Collateral Balance or (ii) the Borrowing Base when the Borrowing
Base becomes effective under Article VII of this Agreement. The obligation to
repay the Advances and to pay interest and other charges, fees and expenses
thereon is evidenced by the Borrower's $15,000,000.00 Promissory Note dated the
date hereof payable to the order of the Bank (together with any amendments,
extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, called the "REVOLVING NOTE"). If
at any time the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note exceeds the Cash
Collateral Balance or the Borrowing Base, as applicable, the Borrower shall
immediately upon demand of the Bank make a mandatory principal payment on the
Revolving Note in an amount sufficient to bring the Borrower into compliance
with this Section 2.01. The Borrower shall use all proceeds of the Advances
solely for working capital of the Borrower. No proceeds of any Advance shall be
used to purchase any stock of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, or any Affiliate of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

         Section 2.02 Making the Advances. Each Advance shall be made on prior
written request from the Borrower to the Bank or prior telephonic request to the
Bank from the Borrower to the Bank made by any person purporting to be
authorized to request Advances on behalf of the Borrower, which request shall
specify the date of the requested Advance and the amount thereof and which
request shall be received by the Bank no later than 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) on
of the day on which the Advance is to be made. Upon fulfillment of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Bank shall disburse the amount of any
requested Advance by crediting the same to the Borrower's checking account at
the Bank or in such other manner as the Bank and the Borrower may from time to
time agree. The Borrower shall be obligated to repay all Advances
notwithstanding the fact that the person requesting the same was not authorized
to do so, provided the Bank had a reasonable good faith basis to believe the
person requesting the Advance had the authority to do so. Any request for an
Advance shall be deemed to be a representation that the statements set forth in
Sections 3.02(a) and 3.02(b) are correct as of the date of such request.

         Section 2.03 Payment, Balance and Setoff. All payments of principal,
interest and other charges, fees and expenses under the Revolving Note and this
Agreement shall be made to the Bank in immediately available funds. The Borrower
agrees that the amount shown on the books and records of the Bank as being the
unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest and other charges, fees and
expenses under the Revolving Note and this Agreement shall be prima facie
evidence thereof. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank, if and to
the extent payment is not promptly made pursuant hereto, to charge against


                                       5
<PAGE>
any amount owing by the Bank to the Borrower, an amount equal to the principal,
accrued interest and other charges, fees and expenses then due. In addition, the
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank to collect interest and other
charges, fees and expenses under the Revolving Note and this Agreement when due
from time to time by charging the Borrower's checking account at the Bank. The
Bank agrees to promptly notify the Borrower following the exercise of its rights
under this Section 2.03 but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such action or the application of any funds to the payment of the
Obligations under this Section 2.03.

         Section 2.04 Letters of Credit. The Bank may in its discretion issue
one or more letters of credit as directed by the Borrower (collectively, the
"LETTER OF CREDIT"). In such case, the issuance of the Letter of Credit shall be
treated as an Advance of the Line of Credit and the Line of Credit availability
under this Agreement shall be restricted by the face amount of the Letter of
Credit outstanding from time to time. The Borrower agrees that any amounts
advanced by the Bank under any such Letter of Credit shall be a mandatory
Advance of the Line of Credit without any request or approval of the Borrower.
The obligations of the Borrower to pay advances made on the Letter of Credit
shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Revolving Note and this Agreement under all circumstances,
including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (a) the existence of
any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any
time against the holder of any beneficiary or transferee of the Letter of Credit
(or any persons or entities for whom such beneficiary or any such transferee may
be acting), the Bank or any other person or entity, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or in the Credit Documents;
(b) any statement or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (c) payment by the
Bank under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate
which does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, except in the
event of the Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining
whether documents presented under the Letter of Credit comply with the terms of
the Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Bank and shall have an expiration date of not later than
October 30, 2004, unless the Letter of Credit is fully secured by cash
collateral on deposit with the Bank in the Cash Collateral Account in which case
the expiration date of the Letter of Credit may be later than October 30, 2004.
The Bank shall not be obligated to release the collateral subject to the Deposit
Account Assignment and the Security Agreement until the Letter of Credit has
expired and all amounts owing to the Bank under the Revolving Credit Note,
including amounts, if any, advanced under the Letter of Credit have been paid in
full. If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by
any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued
by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, the Bank or (ii)
impose on the Bank any other condition regarding the Letter of Credit, and the
result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to
increase the cost to the Bank of issuing or maintaining the Letter of Credit
(which increase in cost shall be determined by the Bank's reasonable allocation
of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event), then, upon
demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank, from time to
time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to
compensate the Bank for such increased cost.

         deposit therein, and all interest and other earnings which may now or
         hereafter accrue thereon, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
         whether now existing or hereafter arising, and all proceeds of the
         foregoing property.

                  (c) A certificate of authority of the Borrower. The Bank may

         acceptable to the Bank, canceling or amending the prior certificate.

                  (d) A certificate of good standing of the Borrower, issued by

         a result of a draw on a Letter of Credit which is fully collateralized
         with cash collateral on deposit with the Bank in the Cash Collateral
         Account) the representations contained in Article VII of this

                                a Covenant Compliance Certificate is due in
                                accordance with Section 5.01(f) of this
                                Agreement; and

                                shows, to the satisfaction of the Bank, that the

                                Letters of Credits plus the amount of the
                                requested Advance does not exceed the Borrowing
                                Base.

         under the Deposit Account Assignment, the Security Agreement, the other
         writings contemplated hereby, the Uniform Commercial Code and any other

         Section 8.04 Assignment and Setoff. The Borrower grants the Bank a lien
and security interest in all of the Borrower's present and future property now
or hereafter in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to, the
Bank for any purpose, and the balance of every present and future account of the
Borrower with the Bank, including without limitation, the Cash Collateral
Account, and each present and future claim of the Borrower against the Bank.

time following the occurrence of an Event of Default place a freeze or block on
such account balances and foreclosure such lien and security interest, and the
Bank may offset of charge all or any part of the aggregate amount of the
Obligations against any such account without any advance notice. The Bank agrees
to promptly notify the Borrower following the exercise of its offset rights
under this Section 8.04, provided that failure to give such notice shall not
effect the validity of such action or the application of any funds of the
Borrower to the payment of the Obligations as provided in this Section 8.04.

provision of this Credit Agreement be modified, amended, abridged, replaced,
supplemented or terminated, except by a writing executed by the Bank and the
Borrower. A waiver by the Bank shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose given. No delay or failure by the Bank to exercise
any right or remedy shall be a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy preclude any other exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or remedy. All rights and remedies of the
Bank under this Agreement and any other writing are cumulative and not
exclusive.

         Section 9.02 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Bank and the Bank's former, present and future officers, directors,

Borrower, including without limitation any building, structure or equipment
thereon, of any toxic or hazardous waste, constituent or substance or in

directors, employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates or attorneys or any of
their respective heirs, representatives, successors or assigns.

         Section 9.03 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank on
