     2.1 Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement,
         -----
Lender agrees to advance to Borrower from time to time and until the Termination
Date, and continuing thereafter by mutual consent, such sums as Borrower may
request (the "Advances") but which shall not exceed, in the aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding, the Commitment. Advances shall be made in

conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow pursuant to this Section 2.1, prepay the
Advances and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.

Lender on the Termination Date.

     2.3 Interest Payments. Interest shall be payable by and accrue to the
         -----------------
Borrower at the beginning of each fiscal month based on a formula that takes
into account the average of the Borrower's net payable balance with the Lender
at the end of the prior two fiscal months. Interest charged in respect to the
calculation is at the rate of the LIBOR Rate in effect plus three and one-half
percent. All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days

     2.4  Interest Payments.  Interest accruing in the fiscal month of the

     (a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to lender
hereunder in lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately
available funds.

     (b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall on a day other than

fees, as the case may be.

     (c) Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and
during the continuance thereof, Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations
not paid when due, from the date due thereof until such amounts are paid in full
at a per annum rate equal to the three (3) percentage points in excess of the
rate otherwise applicable to Advances. All computations of such interest shall
be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

     2.6 Loan Account. The Obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder shall be

principal payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in so doing
shall not, however, limit, increase or otherwise affect the obligation of
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owning hereunder.

                                 INTEREST INCOME

     3.1 Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, a
         -----
Borrower's "average net receivable" exists when the average of the Borrower's
net payable balance with the Lender at the end of the prior two fiscal months
results in a net receivable position. Lender agrees

<PAGE>

to compensate Borrower ("interest income") when an average net receivable
exists. Interest Income shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of
America and shall be cumulated as of the last day of the fiscal month.

     3.2 Interest Payments. Interest shall be payable and accrue to the Borrower
         -----------------
at the beginning of each fiscal month for any month in which an average net
receivable exists. Interest earned in respect to the calculation is at the rate
of the Lender's monthly in-house portfolio yield as calculated by the Lender no
later than the twentieth day of the following month. All computations of such
interest shall be based on the average net receivable balance on actual days
lapsed.

     3.3 Payment of Net Receivable Accrued Interest.  The Borrower has the
         ------------------------------------------
option to convert the month-end receivable balance to a cash deposit in the name
of the Borrower at its sole discretion.
