following:  (I) the interest rate set forth on the Schedule to
Loan Agreement, calculated and applied to the principal balance of
this Note in accordance with the provisions of this Note; (ii)
interest after an Event of Default, calculated and applied to the

transaction, for the purpose of any applicable law that may limit
the maximum amount of interest to be charged with respect to this
lending transaction, shall be payable by Borrower as, and shall be
deemed to be, additional interest and for such purposes only, the
agreed upon and "contracted for rate of interest" of this lending
transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the rate of
interest resulting from the inclusion of the Additional Sums.
 
It is the intent of the parties to comply with the usury law of
the State of Arizona (the "Applicable Usury Law").  Accordingly,
it is agreed that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or
otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Note or such
documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable
Usury Law (the "Maximum Interest Rate").  In the event (a) any
such excess of interest otherwise would be contracted for, charged
or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection with the loan
evidenced hereby, (b) the maturity of indebtedness evidenced by
this Note is accelerated in whole or in part, or (c) all or part
of the principal or interest of this Note shall be prepaid, so
that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest
contracted for, shared or received in connection with the loan
evidenced hereby, would exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, then in
any such event ( 1) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern
and control, (2) neither Borrower nor any other person or entity
now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated
to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in
excess of the Maximum Interest Rate, (3) any such excess which may
have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against
the then unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Borrower,
at Lender's option, and (4) the effective rate of interest shall
be automatically reduced to the Maximum Interest Rate. It is
further agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
that to the extent permitted by the Applicable Usury Law:  (x) all
calculations of interest which are made for the purpose of
determining whether such rate would exceed the Maximum Interest
Rate shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and
spreading during the period of the full stated term of the loan
evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged
or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection with such
loan; and (y) in the event that the effective rate of interest on
the loan should at any time exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, such
excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there
been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law shall be paid
to Lender from time to time, if and when the effective interest
rate on the loan otherwise falls below the Maximum Interest Rate,
to the extent that interest paid to the date of calculation does
not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, until the entire amount of
interest which would otherwise have been collected had there been
no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in
full.  Borrower further agrees that should the Maximum Interest
Rate be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in the
Applicable Usury Law, then to the extent not prohibited by the
Applicable Usury Law, such increases, if applicable, shall apply
to all indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred;
but, again to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury
Law, should the Maximum Interest Rate be decreased because of a
change in the Applicable Usury Law, such decreases shall not apply
to the indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.
 
7.6             No delay or omission on the part of the holder of this
Note in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or
of any other right.
 
7.7             No waiver by the holder of this Note upon any one
occasion shall be effective unless in writing nor shall it be
construed as a bar or waiver of any right or remedy on any future
occasion.
 
7.8             Time is of the essence for the performance by the
undersigned of the obligations set forth in this Note.
 
7.9             Should any one or more of the provisions of this Note
be determined illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions shall
nevertheless remain effective.
 
7.10            This Note cannot be changed, modified, amended or
terminated orally.
 
7.11    This Note shall be governed by, construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without
reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
 
7.12.  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR
RELATED TO THIS NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDER ALSO WAIVES SUCH
RIGHT.
 
8.0     Security For This Note.
 
        This Note is secured pursuant to the Agreement and is
subject to all of the terms and conditions thereof, including, but
not limited to, the remedies specified therein.

with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing, FINOVA shall, upon Borrowers request, make advances to

amount not to exceed the Total Facility amount (the "Total
Facility") set forth on the Schedule hereto, subject to deduction
of reserves for accrued interest and such other reserves as FINOVA
deems proper from time to time, and less amounts FINOVA may be
obligated to pay in the future on behalf of Borrower.  The
Schedule is an integral part of this Agreement and all references
to "herein", "herewith" and words of similar import shall for all
purposes be deemed to include the Schedule.
 
2.2      Loans.   Advances under , the Total Facility ("Loans" and
individually, a "Loan" ) shall be
comprised of the amounts shown on the Schedule.
 
2.3.     Overlines; Overadvances.   If at any time or for any
reason the outstanding amount of advances (including all Letters
of Credit) extended or issued pursuant hereto exceeds any of the
dollar limitations ("Overline") or percentage limitations
("Overadvance") in the Schedule, then Borrower shall, upon
FINOVA's demand, immediately pay to FINOVA, in cash, the full
amount of such Overline or Overadvance which, at FINOVA's option,
may be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans and/or cash collateralize all or any part of any outstanding
Letters of Credit.   Without limiting Borrower's obligation to
repay to FINOVA on demand the amount of any Overline or
Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay FINOVA interest on the
outstanding principal amount of any Overline or Overadvance, on
demand, at the rate set forth on the Schedule and applicable to
the Revolving Credit Loans.
 
2.4.     Letters of Credit.       At the request of Borrower, FINOVA
may, in its Permitted Discretion, arrange for the issuance of
letters of credit for the account of Borrower and guarantees of
payment of such letters of credit, in each case in form and
substance satisfactory to FINOVA in its sole discretion
(collectively, "Letters of Credit"). The aggregate face amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit from time to time shall not
exceed the amount shown on the Schedule, and shall be reserved
against the availability of Revolving Credit Loans.  Borrower
shall pay all customary bank charges for the issuance of Letters
of Credit, together with an additional fee to FINOVA equal to the
percentage set forth on the Schedule of the aggregate face amount
of each Letter of Credit outstanding from time to time during the
term of this Agreement (the "L/C Fee"). The L/C Fee shall be
deemed to be fully earned upon the issuance of each Letter of
Credit and shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of
each month following a month during which any Letter of Credit is
outstanding.  Any advance by FINOVA under or in connection with a
Letter of Credit shall constitute an Obligation hereunder.  Each
Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the last day of the Term.   Immediately upon
any termination of this Agreement, Borrower shall either: (i)
provide cash collateral to FINOVA in an amount equal to 105% of
the maximum amount of FINOVA's obligations under or in connection
with all then outstanding Letters of Credit, or (ii) cause to be
delivered to FINOVA releases of all FINOVA's obligations under
outstanding Letters of Credit.  At FINOVA's discretion, any
proceeds of Collateral received by FINOVA may be held as the cash
collateral required by this Section 2.4.  Borrower hereby agrees
to indemnify, save, and hold FINOVA harmless from any loss, cost,
expense, or liability, including payments made by FINOVA,
reasonable expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
FINOVA arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.
Borrower agrees to be bound by the issuing bank's regulations and
interpretations of any Letters of Credit guarantied by FINOVA and
opened for Borrower's account or by FINOVA's interpretations of
any Letter of Credit issued by FINOVA for Borrower's account, and
Borrower understands and agrees that FINOVA shall not be liable
for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or
commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those
contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto, except to the extent resulting
from FINOVA's gross negligence or willful misconduct.   Borrower
understands that FINOVA may indemnify the bank issuing a Letter of
Credit for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by
Borrower against such issuing bank.  Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold FINOVA harmless with respect to any loss, cost,
expense, or liability incurred by FINOVA under any such
indemnification by FINOVA to any issuing bank.
 
2.5.     Loan Account   All advances made hereunder (including
without limitation all advances made by FINOVA under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit) shall be added to and deemed
part of the Obligations when made.   FINOVA may from time to time
charge all Obligations of Borrower to Borrower's loan account with
FINOVA.
 
2.6.     Interest; Fees.   Borrower shall pay FINOVA interest on
the daily outstanding balance of the Obligations at the per annum
rate and at the times set forth on the Schedule.   Borrower shall
also pay FINOVA the fees set forth on the Schedule.
 
2.7.     Default Interest Rate.   Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay FINOVA
interest on the daily outstanding balance of the Obligations and
any L/C Fee at a rate per annum which is three percent (3%) in
excess of the rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto
pursuant to the Schedule.
 
2.8.       Examination Fee.   Borrower agrees to pay to FINOVA the
Examination Fee in the amount set forth on the Schedule in
connection with each audit or examination of Borrower performed by
FINOVA prior to or after the date hereof.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to FINOVA an
initial Examination Fee in an amount equal to the amount set forth
on the Schedule.   Such initial Examination Fee shall be deemed
fully earned at the time of payment and due and payable upon the
closing of this transaction, and shall be deducted from any good
faith deposit paid by Borrower to FINOVA prior to the date of this
Agreement.
 
2.9.      Excess Interest.
 
(a)     The contracted for rate of interest of the loan
contemplated hereby, without limitation, shall consist of the
following:  (i) the interest rate set forth on the Schedule,
calculated and applied to the principal balance of the Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) interest
after an Event of Default, calculated and applied to the amount of
the Obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof, and
(iii) all Additional Sums (as herein defined), if any.  Borrower
agrees to pay an effective contracted for rate of interest which
is the sum of the above-referenced elements.  The Examination Fee,
attorney's fees, expert witness fees, letter of credit fees,
collateral monitoring fees, closing fees, facility fees,
Termination Fees, other charges, goods, things in action or any
other sums or things of value paid or payable by Borrower
(collectively, the "Additional Sums"), whether pursuant to this
Agreement or any other documents or instruments in any way
pertaining to this lending transaction, or otherwise with respect
to this lending transaction, that under any applicable law may be
deemed to be interest with respect to this lending transaction,
for the purpose of any applicable law that may limit the maximum
amount of interest to be charged with respect to this lending
transaction, shall be payable by Borrower as, and shall be deemed
to be. additional interest and for such purposes only, the agreed
upon and "contracted for rate of interest" of this lending
transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the rate of
interest resulting from the inclusion of the Additional Sums.
 
(b)     It is the intent of the parties to comply the usury
laws of the State of Arizona (the "Applicable Usury Law").
Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to
the contrary in this Agreement, or in any of the documents
securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event
shall this Agreement or such documents require the payment or
permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum
contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law (the "Maximum
Interest Rate").  In the event (a) any such excess of interest
otherwise would be contracted for, charged or received from
Borrower or otherwise in connection with the loan evidenced
hereby, or (b) the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated in
whole or in part, or (c) all or part of the Obligations shall be
prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of
interest contracted for, shared or received in connection with the
loan evidenced hereby, would exceed the Maximum Interest Rate,
then in any such event (1) the provisions of this paragraph shall
govem and control, (2) neither Borrower nor any other Person now
or hereafter liable for the payment of the Obligations shall be
obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it
is in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate, (3) any such excess
which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit
against the then unpaid principal amount of the Obligations or
refunded to Borrower, at FINOVA's option, and (4) the effective
rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum
Interest Rate.  It is further agreed, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, that to the extent permitted by the
Applicable Usury Law; (x) all calculations of interest which are
made for the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed
the Maximum Interest Rate shall be made by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term
of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection
with such loan: and (y) in the event that the effective rate of
interest on the loan should at any time exceed the Maximum
Interest Rate. such excess interest that would otherwise have been
collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable
Usury Law shall be paid to FINOVA from time to time, if and when
the effective interest rate on the loan otherwise falls below the
Maximum Interest Rate, to the extent that interest paid to the
date of calculation does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate,
until the entire amount of interest which would otherwise have
been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable
Usury Law has been paid in full.   Borrower further agrees that
should the Maximum Interest Rate be increased at any time
hereafter because of a change in the Applicable Usury Law, then to
the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such
increases shall apply to all indebtedness evidenced hereby
regardless of when incurred; but, again to the extent not
prohibited by, the Applicable Usury Law, should the Maximum
Interest Rate be decreased because of a change in the Applicable
Usury Law, such decreases shall not apply to the indebtedness
evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.
 
2.10.      Principal Payments: Proceeds of Collateral.
 
(a)     Principal Payments.      Except where evidenced by
notes or other instruments issued or made by Borrower to FINOVA
specifically containing payment provisions which are in conflict
with this Section 2.10 (in which event the conflicting provisions
of said notes or other instruments shall govem and control), that
portion of the Obligations consisting of principal payable on
account of Loans shall be payable by Borrower to FINOVA
immediately upon the earliest of (i) the Term, (ii) the occurrence
of an Event of Default in consequence of which FINOVA elects to
accelerate the maturity and payment of such loans, or (iii) any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof;
provided, however. that any Overadvance or Overline shall be
payable on demand pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3
hereof.
 
    (b) Collections.      Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, FINOVA may, at its option and in its sole discretion and
in addition to all of its other rights under the Loan Documents,
require Borrower to make collection of all Receivables for FINOVA
by directing all account debtors and other third parties to remit
all payments owing to Borrower to a lockbox established in
connection with the Blocked Account.   In the event Borrower shall
nevertheless directly receive any payments or other financial
proceeds of any Collateral, Borrower shall receive all payments as
trustee of FINOVA and immediately deliver all payments to FINOVA
in their original form as set forth below, duly endorsed in blank
or cause the same to be deposited into a Blocked Account Dominion
Account.
 
        (c) Establishment of a Lockbox Account or Dominion Account.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, FINOVA may, at its option and in its sole discretion and
in addition to all of its other rights under the Loan Documents,
require Borrower to cause all proceeds of Collateral to be
deposited into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account"
as FINOVA may require (each. a "Blocked Account") pursuant to an
arrangement with such bank as may be selected by Borrower and be
acceptable to FINOVA which proceeds, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in such
order as FINOVA determines in accordance with Section 2.12.   In
such event, Borrower shall issue to any such bank an irrevocable
letter of instruction directing said bank to transfer such funds
so deposited to FINOVA, either to any account maintained by FINOVA
at said bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of
FINOVA.  All funds deposited in a Blocked Account shall
immediately become the sole property of FINOVA and Borrower shall
obtain the agreement by such bank to waive any offset rights
against the funds so deposited.  FINOVA assumes no responsibility
for any Blocked Account arrangement, including without limitation,
any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to
deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.  Alternatively, FINOVA
may establish depository accounts in the name of FINOVA at a bank
or banks for the deposit of such funds (each, a "Dominion
Account') and Borrower shall deposit all proceeds of Receivables
and all cash proceeds of any sale of Inventory or, to the extent
permitted herein, Equipment or cause same to be deposited, in
kind, in such Dominion Accounts of FINOVA in lieu of depositing
same to Blocked Accounts, and, unless otherwise provided herein,
all such funds shall be applied by FINOVA to the Obligations in
such order as FINOVA determines in accordance with Section 2.12,
with any remaining balance to be promptly paid over to Borrower.
 
        (d)     Payments Without Deductions.    Borrower shall pay
principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or
under any other Loan Document, without any deduction whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or
counterclaim.
 
        (e)     Collection Days Upon Repayment.   In the event
Borrower repays the Obligations in full at any time hereafter,
such payment in full shall be credited (conditioned upon final
collection) to Borrowers loan account two (2) Business Days after
FINOVA's receipt thereof.
 
         (f)     Monthly Accountings.   FINOVA shall provide
Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses
and payments made pursuant to this Agreement.   Such account shall
be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an account
stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made
and corrections of errors discovered by FINOVA), unless Borrower
notifies FINOVA in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days
after each account is rendered, describing the nature of any
alleged errors or admissions.
 
2.11.     Application of Collateral.    Except as otherwise
provided herein. FINOVA shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply or reverse and re-apply any and all payments to any
portion of the Obligations in such order and manner as FINOVA
shall determine in its sole discretion.   To the extent that
Borrower makes a payment or FINOVA receives any payment or
proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower's benefit which is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
debtor in possession, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, or otherwise, then,
to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by FINOVA.
 
2.12.     Application of Payments.   The amount of all payments or
amounts received by FINOVA with respect to the Loan shall be
applied to the extent applicable under this Agreement: (i) first,
to accrued interest through the date of such payment, including
any Default Interest; (ii) then, to any late fees, overdue risk
assessments, Examination Fee and expenses, collection fees and
expenses and any other fees and expenses due to FINOVA hereunder;
and (iii) last, the remaining balance, if any, to the unpaid
principal balance of the Loan; provided however, while an Event of
Default exists under this Agreement, or under any other Loan
Document, each payment hereunder shall be (x) held as cash
collateral to secure Obligations relating to any Letters of Credit
or other contingent obligations arising under the Loan Documents
and/or (y) applied to amounts owed to FINOVA by Borrower as FINOVA
in its sole discretion may determine.  In calculating interest and
applying payments as set forth above:  (a) interest shall be
calculated and collected through the date a payment is actually
applied by FINOVA under the terms of this Agreement; (b) interest
on the outstanding balance shall be charged during any grace
period permitted hereunder; (c) at the end of each month, all
accrued and unpaid interest and other charges provided for
hereunder shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan; and
(d) to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or FINOVA receives
any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower's benefit
that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be
repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the Obligations
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by FINOVA and FINOVA may
adjust the Loan balances as FINOVA, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate under the circumstances.
 
2.13.     Notification of Closing.   Borrower shall provide FINOVA
with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of the
Closing Date, to enable FINOVA to arrange for the availability of
funds.  In the event the closing does not take place on the date
specified in Borrower's notice to FINOVA, other than through the
fault of FINOVA, Borrower agrees to reimburse FINOVA for FINOVA's
costs to maintain the necessary funds available for the closing,
at the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to an amount equal to
the initial advance under the Revolving Credit Loans facility
which is to be made on the Closing Date, for the number of days
which elapse between the date specified in Borrower's notice and
the date upon which the closing actually occurs (which number of
days shall not include the date specified in Borrower's notice,
but shall include the Closing Date).
 
3.      SECURITY.
 
3.1     Security Interest in the Collateral.     To secure the
payment and performance of the Obligations when due, Borrower
hereby grants to FINOVA a first priority security interest
(subject only to Permitted Encumbrances) in all of Borrower's now
owned or hereafter acquired or arising Inventory, Equipment,
Receivables, life insurance policies and the proceeds thereof,
Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses and Patents, Investment Property
(as defined in Section 9-115 of the Code) and General Intangibles,
including, without limitation, all of Borrower's Deposit Accounts,
money, any and all property now or at any time hereafter in
FINOVA's possession (including claims and credit balances), and
all proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies,
proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties), all
products and all books and records and computer data related to
any of the foregoing; provided that in no event shall Collateral
include any licenses of or agreements related to franchises,
trademarks, copyrights, patents or similar intellectual property
licensed by Borrower from or to third parties or otherwise owned
by and used with the permission of third parties, to the extent
that such are consistent with past practices and made in the
ordinary course of business and the grant of a security interest
therein would terminate, violate or otherwise cause a default
under any such license or agreement; (all of the foregoing,
together with all other property in which FINOVA may be granted a
lien or security interest, is referred to herein, collectively, as
the "Collateral").
 
3.2.    Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.   Borrower
shall, at its expense, take all actions requested by FINOVA at any
time to perfect, maintain, protect and enforce FINOVA's first
priority security interest and other rights in the Collateral and
the priority thereof from time to time, including, without
limitation, (i) executing and filing financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereof and executing and delivering
such documents and titles in connection with motor vehicles as
FINOVA shall require, all in form and substance satisfactory to
FINOVA, (ii) maintaining a perpetual inventory and complete and
accurate stock records, (iii) delivering to FINOVA warehouse
receipts covering any portion of the Collateral located in
warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are issued, and
transferring Inventory to warehouses designated by FINOVA, (iv)
placing notations on Borrower's books of account to disclose
FINOVA's security interest therein and (v) delivering to FINOVA
all letters of credit on which Borrower is named beneficiary.
FINOVA may file, without Borrower's signature, one or more
financing statements disclosing FINOVA's security interest under
this Agreement. Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a
financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.   If
any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any
warehouseman, bailee or any of Borrower's agents or processors,
Borrower shall notify such Person of FINOVA's security interest in
such Collateral and, upon FINOVA's request, instruct them to hold
all such Collateral for FINOVA's account subject to FINOVA's
instructions. From time to time, Borrower shall, upon FINOVA's
request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments
pledging the Collateral to FINOVA, but Borrower's failure to do so
shall not affect or limit FINOVA's security interest or other
rights in and to the Collateral.  Until the Obligations have been
fully satisfied and FINOVA's obligation to make further advances
hereunder has terminated, FINOVA's security interest in the
Collateral shall continue in full force and effect.
 
3.3.     Preservation of Collateral.    FINOVA may, in its
Permitted Discretion, at any time discharge any lien or
encumbrance on the Collateral or bond the same, pay any insurance,
maintain guards, pay any service bureau, obtain any record or take
any other action to preserve the Collateral and charge the cost
thereof to Borrowers loan account as an Obligation.
 
3.4.     Insurance.     Borrower will maintain and deliver
evidence to FINOVA of such insurance as is required by FINOVA,
written by insurers, in amounts customary for similarly situated
businesses, and with lender's loss payee and additional insured,
and other endorsements, satisfactory to FINOVA.  All premiums with
respect to such insurance shall be paid by Borrower as and when
due.   Accurate and certified copies of the policies shall be
delivered by Borrower to FINOVA.   If Borrower fails to comply
with this Section, FINOVA may (but shall not be required to)
procure such insurance and endorsements at Borrower's expense and
charge the cost thereof to Borrower's loan account as an
Obligation.
 
3.5.     Collateral Reporting: Inventory.
 
        (a)     Invoices.         Borrower shall not re-date any
invoice or sale from the original date thereof or make sales on
extended terms beyond those customary in Borrower's industry.
Borrower may extend or modify the term of any Receivable, provided
such extension or modification is consistent with past practices
and made in the ordinary course of business and so long as doing
so would not invalidate any insurance coverage or cause an
Overadvance, and no Event of Default otherwise exists.  If
Borrower becomes aware of any matter affecting any Receivable,
including information affecting the credit of the account debtor
thereon, Borrower shall promptly notify FINOVA in writing.
 
        (b)        Instruments.     In the event any Receivable is
or becomes evidenced by a promissory note, trade acceptance or any
other instrument for the payment of money, Borrower shall
immediately deliver such instrument to FINOVA appropriately
endorsed to FINOVA and, regardless of the form of any presentment,
demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest with
respect thereto, Borrower shall remain liable thereon until such
instrument is paid in full.
 
        (c)        Physical Inventory.  Borrower shall conduct a
physical count of the Inventory at such intervals as FINOVA
requests, (but not more than quarterly, except that such
limitation shall not apply upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default) and promptly supply FINOVA with a copy of such accounts
accompanied by a report of the value (calculated at the lower of
cost or market value on a first in, first out basis) of the
Inventory and such additional information with respect to the
Inventory as FINOVA may reasonably request from time to time.
 
          (d)     Returns.      For so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and subject to the provisions of
Section 3.6(b), if any account debtor returns any Inventory to
Borrower in the ordinary course of its business, Borrower shall
promptly determine the reason for such return and promptly issue a
credit memorandum to the account debtor (sending a copy to FINOVA)
in the appropriate amount.  In the event any attempted return
occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall (i) hold the returned Inventory
in trust for FINOVA, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from
all of Borrower's other property, (iii) conspicuously label the
returned Inventory as FINOVA's property, and (iv) immediately
notify FINOVA of the return of any Inventory, specifying the
reason for such return, the location and condition of the returned
Inventory, and on FINOVA's request deliver such returned Inventory
to FINOVA.
 
(e)     Borrower shall not consign any Inventory.
 
3.6.    Receivables.
 
        (a)     Eligibility.    (i) Borrower represents and warrants
that each Receivable when created or reported to FINOVA covers and
shall cover a bona fide sale or lease and delivery by it of goods
or the rendition by it of services in the ordinary course of its
business, and shall be for a liquidated amount and FINOVA's
security interest shall not be subject to any offset, deduction,
counterclaim, rights of return or cancellation, lien or other
condition.   If any representation or warranty herein is breached
as to any Receivable or any Receivable ceases to be an Eligible
Receivable for any reason other than payment thereof, then FINOVA
may, in addition to its other rights hereunder, designate any and
all Receivables owing by that account debtor as not Eligible
Receivables; provided, that FINOVA shall in any such event retain
its security interest in all Receivables, whether or not Eligible
Receivables, until the Obligations have been fully satisfied and
FINOVA's obligation to provide loans hereunder has terminated.
 
(ii)  FINOVA at any time shall be entitled
to (i) establish and increase or decrease reserves against
