2.       FINANCING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

         2.1. REQUEST FOR ADVANCES. During the Facility Period, Borrower may
         offer accounts receivable to Bank, if there is not an Event of Default.
         Borrower will deliver an Invoice Transmittal for each accounts
         receivable it offers. Bank may rely on information on or with the
         invoice Transmittal.

         2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Bank is not obligated to
         finance any accounts receivable. Bank may approve any Account Debtor's
         credit before financing any receivable. When Bank accepts a receivable,
         it will pay Borrower the Advance Rate times the face amount of the
         receivable (the "Advance"). Bank may, in its discretion, change the
         percentage of the Advance Rate. When Bank makes an Advance, the
         receivable becomes a "Financed Receivable." All representations and
         warranties in Section 6 must be true as of the date of the Invoice
         Transmittal and of the Advance and no Event of Default exists would
         occur as a result of the Advance. The aggregate amount of all Financed
         Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount.

         3. COLLECTIONS, FINANCE CHARGES, REMITTANCES AND FEES. The Obligations
         shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Fees and
         Finance Charges may, in Bank's discretion, be charged as an Advance,
         and shall thereafter accrue fees and Finance Charges as described
         below. Bank may, in its discretion, charge fee and Finance Charges to
         Borrower's deposit account maintained with Bank.

         3.1 COLLECTIONS. Collections will be credited to the Financed
         Receivables Balance, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may
         apply Collections to the Obligation in any order it chooses. If Bank
         receives a payment for both Financed Receivable and a non Financed
         Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable
         and, if there is not an Event of Default, the excess will be remitted
         to the Borrower, subject to Section 3.10.

         3.2. FINANCE CHARGES. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations,
         all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on
         account of the Obligations 5 Business Days after receipt of the
         Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the "Finance Charge"),
         which is the greater of (i) the Applicable Rate times the number of
         days in the Reconciliation Period times the outstanding average daily
         Financed Receivable Balance for that Reconciliation Period or (ii) the
         Minimum Finance Charge. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue
         interest at 5 percent above the Applicable Rate effective immediately
         before the Event of Default.

         3.3. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         3.4. FACILITY FEE. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of
         $7,500.00 is due upon execution of this Agreement.

         3.5. COLLATERAL HANDLING FEE. On each Reconciliation Day, Borrower will
         pay to Bank a collateral handling fee, equal to .50% per month
         of the average daily Financed Receivable Balance outstanding during the
         applicable Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, the
         Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional .50% effective
         immediately before the Event of Default.

         3.6. EARLY TERMINATION FEE. A fully earned, non-refundable early
         termination fee of $50,000.00 is due upon voluntary full payment of the
         Obligations and termination of this Facility prior to November 9, 2001
         unless the Obligations are paid in full from an initial advance from a
         loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.

         3.7. ACCOUNTING. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an
         accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period,
         including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections,
         Adjustments, Finance Charges, the Collateral Handling Fee and the
         Administrative Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in
         writing within 30 days it is considered correct. All Finance Charges
         and other interest and fees calculated on the basis of a 360 day year
         and actual days elapsed.

         3.8. DEDUCTIONS. Bank may deduct fees, finance charges and other
         amounts due from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.

         3.9. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED


                                       3

         3.10. ACCOUNT COLLECTION SERVICES. All Borrowers' receivables are to be
         paid to the same address/or party and Borrower and Bank must agree on
         such address. If Bank collects all receivables and there is not an
         Event of Default or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be
         an Event of Default, within five (5) days of receipt of those
         collections, Bank will give Borrower, the receivables collections it
         receives for receivables other than Financed Receivables and/or amount
         in excess of the amount for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower,
         less any amount due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, Administrative
         Fee, Collateral Handling Fee and expenses or otherwise. This Section
         does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than
         to turn over amounts. All receivables and collections are Collateral
         and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank need not remit collections of
         Collateral and may apply them to the Obligations.

4.       REPAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

         4.1. REPAYMENT ON MATURITY. Borrower will repay each Advance on the
         earliest of: (a) payment of the Financed Receivable in respect which
         the Advance was made, (b) the Financed Receivable becomes an Ineligible
         Receivable, (c) when any Adjustment is made to the Financed Receivable
         (but only to the extant of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable is
         not otherwise an Ineligible Receivable, or (d) the last day of the
         Facility Period (including any early termination). Each payment will
         also include all accrued Finance Charges on the Advance and all other
         amounts due hereunder.

         4.2. REPAYMENT ON EVENT OF DEFAULT. When there is an Event of Default,
         Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, in an Event of Default under
         Section 9(B), immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all
         of the Advances. The demand may, at Bank's option, include the Advance
         for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance
         Charges, Administrative Fees, attorneys and professional fees, court
         costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.

5.       POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its
         successors and assigns it attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank,
         regardless of whether there has been an Event of Default, to:

             and Collateral; and

             defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair
             Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or regulation, or
             permit any of its subsidiaries to do so.

7.       ADJUSTMENTS. If any Account Debtor asserts a discount, allowance,
         return, offset, defense, warranty claim, or the like (an "Adjustment")
         or if Borrower breaches any of the representations, warranties or
         covenants set forth in Section 6, Borrower will promptly advise Bank.
         Borrower will resell any rejected, returned, returned, or recovered
         personal property for Bank, at Borrower's expense, and pay proceeds to
         Bank. While Borrower has returned goods that are Borrower property,
         Borrower will segregate and mark them "property of Silicon Valley
         Bank." Bank owns the Financed Receivables and until receipt of payment,
         has the right to take possession of any rejected, returned, or
         recovered personal property.

8.       SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower grants to Bank a continuing security
         interest in all presently and later acquired Collateral. Any security
         interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.

9.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following is an event of
         Default.

         (A) Borrower fails to pay any amount owed to Bank when due;

         (B) Borrower files or has filed against it any Insolvency Proceedings

             change in the business, operations, or conditions (financial or
             otherwise) of the Borrower occurs; or (iii) a materiel impairment
             of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Advances occurs.
