                        If, at any time and for any reason, the total of the
undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit or the total of all outstanding banker's
acceptances exceeds the Maximum Sublimit provided in the Loan Term Sheet ("L/C

Credit) shall control.

                3.7     All advances made, letters of credit issued, banker's
acceptances created or discounted and other financial accommodations extended by
Bank to or for the account or benefit of Borrower under this Section 3, hereof
shall be added to and deemed part of the Obligations when made issued, created
and/or extended.

and such other documents as Bank deems necessary in order to verify that Bank's
creation thereof is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and
administrative orders, and Borrower agrees to execute and deliver all such
documents to Bank. Bank shall not be obligated to create any banker's acceptance
that is not eligible for discount by a Federal Reserve Bank, or which, if
created, would become a liability subject to reserve requirements under any
regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

                3.9     The commission for each banker's acceptance issued under
Section 3.1 shall be at the rate disclosed in the Loan Term Sheet and shall be
payable at the time of the issuance of the banker's acceptance.

                3.10    Unpaid Acceptances. In the event Borrower fails to repay
Bank the principal amount of any acceptance at maturity, without limiting the
rights of the Bank under this Agreement or waiving any Event of Default caused
thereby, the principal amount of such acceptance shall bear interest (from the
date the acceptance matured until the date Bank is paid in full) at the Default
Rate provided in the Loan Term Sheet. Borrower hereby promises to pay and shall
pay Bank, on demand the unpaid amount of principal together with interest
thereon.


                                                                               4

                6.9     The execution of and performance by Borrower of all of
the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement shall not result in a
breach of or constitute an event of default under any agreement to which
Borrower is now or hereafter becomes a party.

                6.10    Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in writing of
Borrower's acquisition by purchase, lease or otherwise of any after-acquired
tangible property, with the exception of purchases of Inventory in the ordinary
course of business.

                6.11    All assessments and taxes, whether real, personal or
otherwise, due or payable by, or imposed, levied or assessed against, Borrower
or any of Borrower's property have been paid, and shall hereafter be paid in
full, before delinquency. Borrower shall make due and timely payment or deposit
of all federal, state and local taxes, assessment or contributions required of
Borrower by law, and will execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate
certificates attesting to the payment or deposit thereof. Borrower will make
timely payment or deposit of all F.I.C.A. payments and withholding taxes
required by Borrower by applicable laws, and will, upon request, furnish Bank
with proof satisfactory to Bank that Borrower has made such payments or
deposits. If Borrower fails to pay any such assessment, tax, contribution, or
make such deposit, or furnish the required proof, Bank may, in Bank's sole and
absolute discretion and without notice to Borrower, (a) make payment of the same
or any part thereof, or (b) set up such reserves in Borrower's account as Bank
deems necessary to satisfy the liability therefore, or both. Bank may
conclusively rely on the usual statements of the amount owing or other official
statements issued by the appropriate governmental agency. Each amount paid or
deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses and an advance to Borrower.
Nothing herein contained shall preclude Borrower from contesting, in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings, the imposition of any assessments and taxes and
to withhold payment of such contested amounts pending the resolution of such
proceedings.

                6.12    There are not at present, any action or proceeding
pending by or against Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower before any court or
administrative agency, and Borrower has no knowledge of any pending, threatened
or imminent litigation, governmental investigations or claims, complaints,
actions or prosecutions involving Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower, except
for ongoing collection matters and except as heretofore disclosed, in writing,
to Bank.

                6.13    Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that:

                        (a)     The Borrower is not in violation of or subject
to any existing, pending, or threatened investigation by any governmental

Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, Water Code Sections 13000, et seq.;

                        (b)     Borrower has not and is not required by any
Environmental Law to obtain any permits or license to conduct business;


                                                                               7


<PAGE>   8


                        (c)     No investigation, administrative order, consent
order and agreement, litigation or settlement with respect to Hazardous
Substances or Hazardous Substances contamination is proposed, threatened,

                        (d)     Borrower has not received any notice from any

                        (e)     The use which Borrower makes and intends to make
of the Collateral will not result in the disposal or release of any Hazardous
Substances; and

                        (f)     Borrower will not generate, manufacture,
transport, store, release, discharge, or dispose of any hazardous Substance and
Borrower shall not cause any violation of any Environmental Laws.

                                The term "Hazardous Substance" shall include:
(i) those substances included within the definitions of "hazardous substances,"
"hazardous materials," "toxic substances," or "solid waste" in CERCLA, RCRA, and
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq., and
in the regulations promulgated pursuant to said laws; (ii) those substances

toxic under federal, state, or local laws or regulations or which, even if not
so regulated, are known to pose a hazard to the health and safety of the
occupants of the Property or of property adjacent to the Property.

                        Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of:

                        (1)     any proceeding or inquiry by any governmental
authority (including, without limitation, the California State Department of
Health Services) with respect to the violation of any Environmental Law by
Borrower; and

                        (2)     all claims made or threatened by any third party
against Borrower relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous
Substance.

                        Bank shall have the right, at its option and expense, to
join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or
actions initiated by or against Borrower in connection with any Environmental
Law.

                        Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against,
any loss, damages, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out
of or attributable to the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage,
release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of a Hazardous
Substance on, under or about the Borrower's business property, or any order,
consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of a Hazardous Substance,
or any claims of loss, damage, liability, expense or injury relating to or
arising from, directly or indirectly, any disclosure by Lender to anyone of
information, whether true or not, relative to a Hazardous Substance and/or
Environment Law violation, including without limitation, attorneys' fees. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement (whether by payment of
the Obligations or action in lieu thereof). Notwithstanding the above, the
indemnification obligation of Borrower hereunder only shall apply to the extent
Borrower is responsible for the use, generation, manufacture, production,
storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of the
Hazardous Substance in question.

                        6.14    Borrower, at Borrower's expense, shall keep and
maintain Borrower's assets insured against loss or damage by fire, theft,
explosion, sprinklers and all other hazards and risks ordinarily insured against
by other owners who use such properties in similar businesses in an amount not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value thereof on a
replacement cost basis, with an inflation guard endorsement, if available.
Borrower shall also keep and maintain public liability and property damage
insurance relating to Borrower's ownership and use of the Collateral and
Borrower's other assets. All such policies of insurance shall be in such form,
with such companies, and in such amounts as detailed in the Loan Term Sheet and
as may be satisfactory to Bank.


                                                                               8


<PAGE>   9


Borrower shall deliver to Bank copies of such policies of insurance. Copies of
all renewal and replacement policies shall be delivered to Bank at least thirty
(30) days before the expiration of the policies. All such policies of insurance
(except those of public liability and property damage) shall contain an
endorsement in a form satisfactory to Bank showing Bank as a loss payee thereof,
with a waiver of warranties (Form 438-BFU), and all proceeds payable thereunder
shall be payable to Bank and, upon receipt by Bank, shall be applied on account
of the Obligations owing to Bank. To secure the payment of the Obligations,
Borrower grants Bank a security interest in and to all such policies of
insurance (except those of public liability and property damage) and the
proceeds thereof, and Borrower shall direct all insurers under such policies of
insurance to pay all proceeds thereof directly to Bank.

                        Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of
Bank's officers, employees or agents designated by Bank) as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under
such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Borrower on any check, draft,
instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such
policies of insurance. Borrower will not cancel any of such policies without
Bank's prior written consent. Each such insurer shall agree by endorsement upon
the policy or policies of insurance issued by it to Borrower as required above,
or by independent instruments furnished to Bank, that it will give Bank at least
ten (10) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be altered or canceled, and that no act or default of Borrower, or any
other person, shall affect the right of Bank to recover under such policy or
policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part
relating hereto. Bank, without waiving or releasing any Obligations or any Event
of Default, may, but shall have no obligation to do so, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with
respect to such policies which Bank deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by
Bank, as well as reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other
charges relating thereto, shall constitute Bank Expenses and are payable on
demand. Bank shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting,
preventing, obtaining, or failing to notify Borrower or to obtain any insurance,
incur any liability for or with respect to the existence of insurance, the
amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance
contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits,
and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all
liability, if any, with respect thereto.

                6.15    All financial statements and information relating to
Borrower which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Borrower to Bank are
true and correct and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied, and there has been no material
adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower since the submission of
such financial information to Bank.

                6.16    Borrower at all times hereafter shall maintain a
standard and modern system of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied, and records pertaining to all
Collateral for the obligations which contain information as may from time to
time be requested by Bank. Borrower shall not modify or change Borrower's method
of accounting or enter into, modify, or terminate any agreement presently
existing, or at any time hereafter entered into with any third party accounting
firm and/or service bureau for the preparation and/or storage of Borrower's
accounting records without giving Bank ten (10) days prior written notice of any
such change, and without said accounting firm and/or service bureau agreeing to
provide to Bank information regarding the Collateral and Borrower's financial
condition. In this regard, Borrower agrees to use Borrower's best efforts to
secure a tripartite agreement, in Bank's standard form, between Bank, Borrower
and Borrower's accounting firm and/or service bureau. Borrower agrees to permit
Bank and any of Bank's employees, officers or agents, upon demand, during
Borrower's usual business hours, or the usual business hours of third persons
having control thereof, to have access to and examine all of Borrower's Books
relating to the Collateral, the Obligations, Borrower's financial condition and
the results of Borrower's operations, and, in connection therewith, permit Bank
or any of Bank's agents, employees or officers to copy and make extracts
therefrom. Borrower agrees to pay Bank for audits as detailed in the Loan Term
Sheet.

                        Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank financial information
or other data as detailed in the Loan Term Sheet or any other report requested
by Bank relating to the Collateral and the financial condition of Borrower,
together with a certificate signed by an authorized employee of Borrower to the
effect that all reports, statements, computer disc or tape files, printouts,
runs, or other computer prepared information of any kind or nature relating to
the foregoing, or documents delivered or caused to be delivered to Bank under
this subsection, are complete, correct, and thoroughly present the financial
condition of Borrower and that there exists on the date of delivery to Bank no
condition or event which constitutes a breach or Event of Default under this
Agreement. Borrower shall comply with any request and shall treat any written
request as a continuing obligation until expressly modified or terminated in
writing.


                                                                               9


<PAGE>   10


                        All accounting terms and computations shall be based
upon generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

                        Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be Year 2000
Compliant on or before December 31, 1999 and at all times thereafter.

                        "Year 2000 Compliant" shall mean the ability of the
software and other processing capabilities of Borrower and its Subsidiaries to
correctly interpret and manipulate all data, in whatever form including printed
form, screen displays, financial records, calculations and loan-related data, so
as to avoid errors in processing that may otherwise occur because of the
inability of the software or other processing capabilities to recognize
accurately the year 2000 or subsequent dates.

                6.17    Borrower shall promptly supply and cause any guarantor
to supply Bank with such other information, including tax returns, concerning
Borrower's and any guarantor's affairs as Bank may request from time to time
hereafter, and shall promptly notify Bank of any material adverse change in
Borrower's financial condition and of any condition or event which constitutes a
breach of or an event which constitutes an Event of Default under this
Agreement.

                6.18    Borrower is now and shall be at all times hereafter
solvent and able to pay Borrower's debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

                6.19    Borrower shall maintain financial ratios as provided in
the Loan Term Sheet.

                6.20    Borrower shall immediately and without demand reimburse
Bank for all sums expended by Bank which constitute Bank Expenses and Borrower
hereby authorizes and approves all advances and payments by Bank for items
constituting Bank expenses.

                6.21    Borrower shall furnish to Bank: (a) as soon as possible,
but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Borrower knows or has reason
to know that any reportable event with respect to any deferred compensation plan
has occurred, a statement of the chief financial officer of Borrower setting
forth the details concerning such reportable event and the action which Borrower
proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of the notice of
such reportable event given to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, if a
copy of such notice is available to Borrower; (b) promptly after the filling
thereof with the United States Secretary of Labor or the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, copies of each annual report with respect to each deferred
compensation plan; (c) promptly after receipt thereof, a copy of any notice
Borrower may receive from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the
Internal Revenue Service with respect to any deferred compensation plan;
provided, however, this subparagraph shall not apply to notice of general
application issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the Internal
Revenue Service; and (d) when the same is made available to participants in the
deferred compensation plan, all notices and other forms of information from time
to time disseminated to the participants by the administrator of the deferred
compensation plan.

                6.22    Except for permitted investments, Borrower shall keep
Borrower's principal bank accounts with banks agreed upon between Borrower and
Bank.

                6.23    Borrower is now and shall at all times hereafter remain
in compliance with all federal, state and municipal laws, regulations and
ordinances relating to the handling, treatment and disposal of toxic substances,
wastes and hazardous materials and shall maintain all necessary authorizations
and permits.

                6.24    Each warranty, representation and agreement contained in
this Agreement shall be automatically deemed repeated with each financial
accommodation and shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by Bank
regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by Bank. The
warranties, representations and agreements set forth herein shall be cumulative
and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations and agreements
which Borrower shall give, or cause to be given, to Bank, either now or
hereafter.

                6.25    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6,
if an event occurs the effect of which is to put Borrower in a position where it
is not in compliance with a covenant set forth above, Borrower shall be deemed
to be in compliance with such covenant unless Borrower is not in compliance with
the covenant within a reasonable time after it learns of the fact that it is not
in compliance.


                                                                              10

        7.      EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                Any one or more of the following shall constitute an Event of
Default by Borrower under this Agreement:

                7.1     If Borrower fails to pay when due and payable, or when
declared due and payable, all or any portion of the Obligations owing to Bank
(whether of principal, interest, taxes, reimbursement of Bank Expenses, or
otherwise);

                7.2     If Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep or
observe any term, provision, condition, covenant, agreement, warranty or
representation contained in his Agreement and the Loan Term Sheet, or any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank;

                7.3     If any representation, statement, report, or certificate
made or delivered by Borrower, or any of Borrower's officers, employees or
agents, to Bank is not true and correct to the best of Borrower's knowledge;

                7.4     If there is a material impairment of the prospect of
repayment of all or any portion of the Obligations owning to Bank or a material
impairment of the value or priority of Banks security interests in the
collateral;

                7.5     If all or any of Borrower's assets are attached, seized,
subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come into the
possession of any Judicial Officer or Assignee;

                7.6     If an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against
Borrower;

                7.7     If Borrower is enjoined, restrained or in any way
prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of
Borrower's business affairs;

                7.8     If a notice of lien, levy or assessment is filed of
record with respect to any or all of Borrower's material assets by the Unites
States of America, or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, or by
any state, county, municipal or other governmental agency, or if any taxes or
debts owing at any time hereafter to any one or more of such entities becomes a
lien, whether chosen or otherwise, upon any or all of the Borrower's assets and
or the same is not paid on the payment date thereof and such lien, levy or
assessment shall not have been discharged by payment in full within thirty (30)
days;

                7.9     If a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or
encumbrance upon any or all of Borrower's assets;

                7.10    If there is a default in any material agreement to which
Borrower is a party with third parties resulting in a right by such third
parties to accelerate the maturity of Borrower's indebtedness, which could
jeopardize repayment of Borrower's indebtedness to Bank.

                7.11    If Borrower makes any payment on account of indebtedness
which has been subordinated to the Obligations which has not been authorized by
Bank;

                7.12    If any material or intentional misrepresentation exists
now or hereafter in any warranty or representation made to Bank by any officer
or director of Borrower, or if any such warranty or representation is withdrawn
or denied by any officer or director;

                7.13    If any party subordinating a claim to those of Bank or
guarantying the Obligations or any part thereof, terminates such subordination
or guaranty, or becomes subject to an Insolvency Proceeding; and

                7.14    If any reportable event, which the Bank determines
constitutes grounds for the termination of any deferred compensation plan by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or for the appointment by the appropriate
United States District Court of a trustee to administer any such plan, shall
have occurred and be continuing thirty (30) days after written notice of such
determination shall have been given to Borrower by Bank, or any such plan shall
be terminated within the meaning of Title IV of the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act ("ERISA"), or a trustee shall be appointed by the appropriate
United States District Court to administer any such plan, or the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation shall institute proceedings to terminate any plan and in
case of an event described in this Section 7.14, the aggregate amount of
Borrower's liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty


                                                                              11


<PAGE>   12


Corporation under Sections 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA shall exceed five percent
(5%) of Borrower's Tangible Net Worth.

                        Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 7 to
the contrary, Bank shall refrain from exercising its rights and remedies and an
Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred by reason of the
occurrence of such Event of Default if, within fifteen (15) days from the date
thereof, the same is released, discharged, dismissed, bonded against or
satisfied; provided, however, if any such event has occurred, Bank shall not be
obligated to extend any credit accommodations to Borrower during such cure
period.

        8.      BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

                8.1     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower
under this Agreement, Bank may, at Bank's election, without notice of such
election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which
are authorized by Borrower:

                        (a)     Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by
this Agreement, by notes, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;

                        (b)     Cease advancing money or extending credit to or
for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, or any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;

                        (c)     Terminate this Agreement as to any future
liability or obligation of Bank, but without affecting Bank's rights and
security interest in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations owning
by Borrower to Bank;

                        (d)     Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any
guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or
reasonable to protect Bank's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower
agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the
Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to
enter the premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession
of the Collateral and the premises (at no charge to Bank), or any part thereof,
and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien
which in the opinion of Bank appears to be prior or superior to Bank's security
interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith;

                        (e)     Without constituting a retention of collateral
in satisfaction of an obligation within the meaning of Section 9505 of the Code
or an action under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, apply any and
all amounts maintained by Borrower with Bank as deposit accounts (as that term
is defined under Section 9105 of the Code) or other accounts against the
Obligations.

        9.      TAXES AND EXPENSES REGARDING THE COLLATERAL

                If Borrower fails to pay promptly when due, to any other person
or entity, monies which Borrower is required to pay by reason of any provision
in this Agreement, Bank may (after consultation with Borrower), but need not,
pay the same and charge Borrower's account therefor, and Borrower shall promptly
reimburse Bank. All such sums shall become additional Obligations owning to
Bank, shall bear interest at the Default Rate hereinabove provided, and shall be
secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute: (a)
an agreement by bank to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by
bank of any default under this Agreement. Bank need not inquire as to, or
contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance
or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof
shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

        10.     WAIVER

                10.1    Borrower waives the right to direct the application of
any and all payments, collections or proceeds at any time or times hereafter
received by Bank and Borrower agrees that Bank shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply and reapply such payments, collections or proceeds to
the Obligations in any manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any
