SILICON VALLEY BANK

                           LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

BORROWER: INFINIUM SOFTWARE, INC.
ADDRESS:  25 COMMUNICATIONS WAY
          HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS 02601

DATE:     OCTOBER 26, 2001

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between
SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank, with its principal place of
business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and with a loan
production office located at One Newton Executive Park, Suite 200, 2221
Washington Street, Newton, Massachusetts 02462 ("Silicon") and the borrower
named above (the "Borrower"), with offices located at the above address
("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule and Exhibits to this Agreement (the
"Schedule" and the "Exhibits," respectively) shall for all purposes be deemed to
be part of this Agreement, and the same are integral parts of this Agreement.
(Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8
below.)

1.       LOANS.

         1.1      LOANS. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans") up to
the amounts (the "Credit Limit") shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of any
Reserves for accrued interest and such other Reserves as Silicon reasonably
deems proper from time to time.

         1.2      INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall
bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set
forth to the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on
the last day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon's discretion, be charged to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

         1.3      OVERADVANCES. If at any time or for any reason the total of
all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an
"Overadvance"), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to
Silicon, upon written notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation
to repay to Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to
pay Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance (by way of
clarification the amount in excess of the Credit Limit), on demand, at a rate
equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable to the
Overadvance, plus an additional two percent (2%) per annum.

         1.4      FEES. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fees shown on the
Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to
Silicon and are not refundable.

         1.5      LETTERS OF CREDIT. At the request of Borrower, Silicon may, in
its commercially reasonable discretion and in good faith, issue or arrange for
the issuance of letters of credit for the account of Borrower, in each case in
form and substance satisfactory to Silicon in its commercially reasonable
discretion (collectively, "Letters of Credit"). The aggregate face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit from time to time (plus all Silicon exposure under
any foreign exchange contracts) shall not exceed the amount shown on the
Schedule (the "Letter of Credit Sublimit"), and shall be reserved against Loans
which would otherwise be available hereunder. Borrower shall pay



<PAGE>

SILICON VALLEY BANK                                  LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all bank charges (including charges of Silicon) for the issuance of Letters of
Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon's letter of credit
department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of
Credit, which such fees shall not exceed Silicon's then standard fees for
letters of credit. Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter
of Credit shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, each Letter of Credit shall
have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior to the Maturity Date.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Silicon harmless from any
loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by Silicon,
reasonable expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon arising
out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit, except to the extent such
loss, cost, expense or liability is due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Silicon. Borrower agrees to be bound by the regulations and
interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Silicon and
opened for Borrower's account or by Silicon's interpretations of any Letter of
Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's account, and Borrower understands and
agrees that Silicon 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 due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Silicon. Borrower understands that Letters of Credit may require
Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or liabilities arising
out of claims by Borrower against such issuing bank, except to the extent due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Silicon. Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Silicon harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or
liability incurred by Silicon under any Letter of Credit as a result of
Silicon's indemnification of any such issuing bank. The provisions of this Loan
Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any other present or future
documents or agreements between Borrower and Silicon relating to Letters of
Credit are cumulative, provided that to the extent of any inconsistency between
this Loan Agreement and a letter of credit application, the terms of this Loan
Agreement shall control.

2.       SECURITY INTEREST.

         2.1      SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of
all of the Obligations when due, and the performance of each of the Borrower's
duties under this Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith,
Borrower hereby grants to Silicon a continuing security interest in all of
Borrower's interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
and wherever located: All Inventory, Equipment, Receivables, and General
Intangibles, including, without limitation, all of Borrower's Intellectual
Property, all of Borrower's Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, and all
money, and all property now or at any time in the future in Silicon's possession
(including claims and credit balances), and all proceeds (including proceeds of
any insurance policies, except in such circumstances where the Borrower receives
the proceeds on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a third party (other than
Silicon) proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties), all products
and all books and records related to any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing,
together with all other property in which Silicon may now or in the future be
granted a lien or security interest, is referred to herein, collectively, as the
"Collateral"). The security interest granted herein shall be a first priority
security interest in the Collateral. Silicon may, while an Event of Default
exists, place a "hold" on any Deposit Account pledged as collateral.

         2.2      CONCERNING REVISED ARTICLE 9 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.
In anticipation of the possible application, in one or more jurisdictions to the
transactions contemplated hereby, of the revised Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in the form or substantially in the form approved by the
American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Law and contained in the 1999 Official Text of the Uniform Commercial Code
("Revised Article 9"), it is hereby agreed that applying the law of any
jurisdiction in which Revised Article 9 is in effect, the Collateral is all
assets of the Borrower, whether or not within the scope of Revised Article 9.
The Collateral shall include, without limitation, the following categories of
assets as defined in Revised Article 9: goods (including inventory, equipment
and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes),

writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property,
general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), supporting
obligations and any and all proceeds of any thereof, wherever located, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired. If the Borrower shall at any time, whether or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revised Article 9 is in effect in any particular jurisdiction, acquire a
commercial tort claim with an anticipated value in excess of $250,000.00, as
defined in Revised Article 9, the Borrower shall promptly notify Silicon in a
writing signed by the Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Silicon
in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all
upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
satisfactory to Silicon.

         2.3      EXCLUDED COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2, such grant of a security interest shall not extend to, and
the term "Collateral" shall not include any contract, license, lease or other
agreement to which the Borrower is party as licensee, lessee or otherwise, to
the extent that (i) such contract, license or agreement is not assignable or
capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms of such
contract, license, lease or other agreement (but solely to the extent that any
such restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law), without the consent
of the licensor or lessor thereof or other applicable party thereto and (ii)
such consent has not been obtained; provided, however, that the foregoing grant
of security interest shall extend to, and the term "Collateral" shall include
(A) any and all proceeds of such contracts, licenses, leases and other
agreements to the extent that the assignment or encumbering of such proceeds is
not so restricted and (B) upon any licensor, lessor or other applicable party
consent with respect to any such otherwise excluded contract, license, lease or
other agreement being obtained, thereafter such contract, license, lease or
other agreement, as the case may be, as well as any and all proceeds thereof
that might have theretofore have been excluded from such grant of a security
interest and the term "Collateral". Further, the term "Collateral" shall not
include the assets of Borrower's subsidiary, Cort Directions, Inc., or any stock
of Cort Directions, Inc. owned by Borrower, all as more fully described in
Section 5.5 of this Loan Agreement.

3.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.

         In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make
Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and that Borrower
will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:

         3.1      CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Borrower, if a corporation,
is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is
and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all
jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect
on Borrower. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and
validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally), (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or
certificate of incorporation, Borrower's by-laws, or to the extent it would have
a material adverse effect on the Borrower, any law or any material agreement or
instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not
constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation
under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its
property.

         3.2      NAME; TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of Borrower set forth
in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are
all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names
used in the last five years. Borrower shall give Silicon 30 days' prior written
notice before changing its name or doing any material amount of business under
any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply in all
material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.

         3.3      PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set
forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In
addition, Borrower has places of business and Collateral in excess of $20,000.00
per location is located only at the locations set forth on the Schedule.
Borrower will give Silicon at least 30 days prior written notice before opening
any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, changing
its state of formation or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or




                                       3
<PAGE>

SILICON VALLEY BANK                                  LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


one of the locations set forth on the Schedule, or such other location for which
Borrower has furnished notice to Silicon, other than Collateral that is in
transit or temporarily removed from such locations.

         3.4      TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and
will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except
for items of Equipment and Real Property which are leased by Borrower. Items
which are leased are not owned by Borrower and therefore are not Collateral. The
Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges,
security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens.
Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and
enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the
Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the
Collateral against all material claims of others. None of the Collateral now is
or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent,
as to become a fixture. Borrower will not become a lessee under any new real
property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the
Collateral (except as may constitute Permitted Liens) and no such lease shall in
the future, prohibit, restrain, or impair Borrower's right to remove its books
and records from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon
premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee,
beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever
requested by Silicon, use its reasonable efforts to cause such third party to
execute and deliver to Silicon, in form reasonably acceptable to Silicon, such
waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to ensure that
Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to the
rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and
will comply in all material respects with all the terms of, any lease of real
property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

         3.5      MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the
Collateral in good working condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will
immediately advise Silicon in writing of any material loss or damage to the
Collateral.

         3.6      BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain
at Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

         3.7      FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial
statements now or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be,
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, except for
footnotes and year end adjustments, and now and in the future will completely
and accurately reflect the financial condition of Borrower, at the times and for
the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement
provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has been no material adverse
change in the financial condition or business of Borrower. Borrower is now and
will continue to be solvent, which shall be defined as the ability of the
Borrower to pay its financial obligations in the normal course of business as
they become due.

         3.8      TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Borrower has
timely filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by
foreign, federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will
timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits
and contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however,
defer payment of any contested taxes, or the filing of any tax returns or
reports, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith contests Borrower's obligation
to pay the taxes by appropriate process promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in writing of the commencement of, and any
material development in, the process, and takes such reserves as may be required
by Silicon and/or GAAP. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments
proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could reasonably be
expected to result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower.
Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all lawfully required amounts with
respect to all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred
compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will
not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of,
or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which
could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Borrower,
including any material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or
its successors or any other governmental agency.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         3.9      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower has complied, and will comply,
in all material respects, with all provisions of all material foreign, federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not
limited to, those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property,
the conduct and licensing of Borrower's business, and all environmental matters.

         3.10     LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule or otherwise
previously disclosed to Silicon in writing, there is no claim, suit, litigation,
proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower's knowledge)
threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any court or before any
governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which may
reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the financial condition or business of Borrower, or
in any material impairment in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business
in substantially the same manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will
promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or
investigation in the future instituted by or against Borrower involving any
single claim of $200,000 or more, or involving $500,000 or more in the
aggregate.

         3.11     USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used
solely for working capital purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any
"margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to
purchase or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

4.       RECEIVABLES.

         4.1      REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower represents
and warrants to Silicon as follows: Each Receivable with respect to which Loans
are requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made,
(i) except with respect to any Receivable relating to maintenance revenues or
for which Borrower bills in advance, represent an undisputed bona fide existing
obligation of the Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance
of goods or the rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower's
business, and (ii) meet the Minimum Eligibility Requirements set forth in
Section 8 below.

         4.2      REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE.
Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows: All statements made and
all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents
evidencing the Receivables are and shall be true and correct in all material
respects and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of
Borrower's books and records are and shall be genuine and in all material
respects what they purport to be, and all signatories and endorsers have the
capacity to contract. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise
to each Receivable shall comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws and governmental rules and regulations. All signatures and endorsements on
all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Receivables are and
shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and
shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

         4.3      SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower
shall deliver to Silicon transaction reports and loan requests and schedules of
all Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Silicon's standard forms,
which hall conform to generally accepted standards in the banking industry;
provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall
not affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other rights in all of
Borrower's Receivables, nor shall Silicon's failure to advance or lend against a
specific Receivable affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other rights
therein. The Borrower shall furnish Silicon with its initial loan request thirty
(30) days prior to the requested funding date, and one (1) business day prior to
each subsequent requested funding date. Together with each such loan request, or
later if requested by Silicon, Borrower shall furnish Silicon with copies (or,
at Silicon's request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other
similar documents, as requested by Silicon, for any goods the sale or
disposition of which gave rise to such Receivables, and Borrower warrants the
genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Silicon an
aged accounts receivable trial balance in such form and at such intervals as set
forth in the Schedule. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Silicon the
originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and
other documents and



                                       5
<PAGE>


SILICON VALLEY BANK                                  LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


property evidencing or securing any Receivables, immediately upon receipt
thereof and in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, all
of which shall be with recourse. Borrower shall also provide Silicon with copies
of all credit memos, upon Silicon's request.

         4.4      COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall cause the Account
Debtors to remit all Receivables to Silicon and Silicon shall hold all payments
on, and proceeds of, Receivables in a lockbox account, or such other "blocked
account" as Silicon may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such
form as Silicon may specify. All such payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables
shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine.
Silicon or its designee may, at any time reasonably necessary to enforce and/or
preserve Silicon's security in the Receivables, notify Account Debtors that the
Receivables have been assigned to Silicon.

         4.5.     REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. At any time there are any borrowings
outstanding under this Loan Agreement, all proceeds arising from the disposition
of any Collateral (other than Collateral comprised of Investment Property held
by a third party, provided that such Investment Property is subject to an
Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Silicon) shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to Silicon in the original
form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day
after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as
Silicon shall determine; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has
occurred, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Silicon the proceeds of
the sale of worn out or obsolete equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith
in an arm's length transaction for an aggregate sale price of $50,000 or less
(for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not
commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other funds or property,
but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and
property and in an express trust for Silicon. Nothing in this Section 4.5 limits
the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.

         4.6      DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all
disputes or claims in excess of $150,000.00 relating to Receivables. Borrower
shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any Receivable
for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that
Borrower may do so, provided that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a
commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's
length transactions, which are reported to Silicon on the regular reports
provided to Silicon; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; and (iii) taking into account all such discounts settlements and
forgiveness, the total outstanding Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit.
Silicon may, at any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with Account
Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Silicon considers advisable in its
reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Silicon shall credit Borrower's
Loan account with only the net amounts received by Silicon in payment of any
Receivables.

         4.7      RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and further provided that Borrower does not, in good faith, dispute
the return, 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 in
the appropriate amount (sending a copy to Silicon in accordance herewith). 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 Silicon, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from all
of Borrower's other property, and (iii) immediately notify Silicon of the return
of any Inventory with a value in excess of $50,000.00, specifying the reason for
such return, the location and condition of the returned Inventory.

         4.8      VERIFICATION. Silicon may, from time to time, verify directly
with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters
relating to the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in
the name of Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose.

         4.9      NO LIABILITY. Silicon shall not under any circumstances be
responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or
destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to
a Receivable, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in
the settlement, failure to settle,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


collection or failure to collect any Receivable, or for settling any Receivable
in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be deemed
to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or
agreement giving rise to a Receivable. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve
Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.       ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.

         5.1      FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times
comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

         5.2      INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the
tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance,
with insurers reasonably acceptable to Silicon, in the form and amounts as set
forth in the certificate of insurance attached hereto, and Borrower shall
provide evidence of such insurance to Silicon, so that Silicon is reasonably
satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect. All
such insurance policies shall name Silicon as an additional loss payee, and
shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to
Silicon. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, Silicon shall apply
such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as Silicon shall determine in its
sole discretion, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds
with respect to Equipment totaling less than $100,000, which, if paid with
respect to the loss or damage of equipment, shall be utilized by Borrower for
the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds
were paid. Silicon may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds
so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any
insurance, Silicon may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's
expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary,
nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the payment of insurance proceeds
received by the Borrower on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a third party, to
such third party.

         5.3      REPORTS. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Silicon with
the written reports set forth in the Schedule.

         5.4      ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times,
and on one Business Day's prior notice, Silicon, or its agents, shall have the
right to inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's
books and records. Silicon shall keep confidential all information obtained in
any such inspection or audit using the same degree of care Silicon uses to
protect and keep confidential its own confidential information, but Silicon
shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors,
regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal
process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower's expense and
the charge therefor shall be $600 per person per day (or such higher amount as
shall represent Silicon's then current standard charge for the same), plus
reasonable out of pocket expenses. Borrower will not enter into any agreement
with any accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrower's
books or records at any location other than Borrower's Address, without first
obtaining Silicon's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), which may be conditioned upon such accounting firm, service bureau or
other third party agreeing to give Silicon the same rights with respect to
access to books and records and related rights as Silicon has under this Loan
Agreement, provided that such third party agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality provision in Section 10 of this Loan Agreement. Borrower waives
the benefit of any accountant-client privilege.

         5.5      NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Except as may be permitted in the
Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent, do any of
the following: (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity; (ii)
acquire any assets, except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into
any other transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or
transfer any Collateral, except for the sale of finished Inventory and the
license of intellectual property rights in Borrower's intellectual property in
the ordinary course of Borrower's business, and except for the sale of obsolete
or unneeded Equipment in the ordinary course of business; (v) store any
Inventory or other Collateral with any warehouseman or other third party unless
Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of lien;
(vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale,

consignment, or other contingent basis; (vii) make any loans of any money or
other assets, except for (a) additional loans to foreign subsidiary companies in
an amount not to exceed $800,000.00 in the aggregate outstanding at any time, or
(b) additional loans to Cort Directions, Inc. a/k/a Infinium Advantage Business
Unit (hereinafter referred to as "Cort") in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00
in the aggregate outstanding at any time; or (c) loans to employees in an amount
not to exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate outstanding at any time; (viii) incur
any debts outside the ordinary course of business, except to subsidiary
companies in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate outstanding at
any time; (ix) guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to the
obligations of another party or entity, except on behalf of subsidiary companies
up to $100,000.00 in the aggregate; (x) pay or declare any dividends on

(xi) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any
of Borrower's stock, except up to 300,000 shares after the date hereof (not to
exceed $200,000.00) in the aggregate with respect to stock options for
employees; (xii) make any change in Borrower's capital structure which would
have a material adverse effect on Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of
the Obligations; or (xiv) dissolve or elect to dissolve. Transactions permitted
by the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.5 are only permitted if no Default
or Event of Default would occur as a result of such transaction. Notwithstanding
anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the parties agree: (1) the assets
of whatever nature residing with Cort as reflected in the books and records of
Borrower are hereby excluded as Collateral and shall not be included as Eligible
Receivables; (2) the covenants and other terms and conditions under this Loan
Agreement shall not apply to the activities, business interests and assets of
Cort; (3) nothing in this Loan Agreement shall be construed to restrict,
prohibit or otherwise limit Borrower's ability to sell Cort in whole or in part
whether by sale of all or substantially all of Cort's assets, by the sale of all
or a majority of the stock in Cort, or by such other means as Borrower and
purchaser of Cort may agree; and (4) the stock of Cort owned by Borrower shall
not be "Collateral" hereunder.

         5.6      LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or
proceeding be instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or
in any manner relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon,
make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower's
books and records, to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably necessary
in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding, provided such shall
be during ordinary business hours and not interfere with Borrower's business.

         5.7      FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on
request by Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as are
reasonably necessary in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's perfected
security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.       TERM.

         6.1      MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until
the maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"); provided that
the Maturity Date may be extended upon written agreement of the parties hereto.

         6.2      PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier
effective date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on
any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Silicon's then
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, all of Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided
that, without limiting the fact that Loans are subject to the commercially
reasonable discretion of Silicon to the extent provided in this Agreement,
Silicon may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans after
termination of this

Agreement. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or remedy
of Silicon, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any Obligation to
Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Upon
payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and the termination of
the availability of any further Loans, Silicon shall promptly deliver to
Borrower termination statements, requests for reconveyances and such other
documents as may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.

SILICON VALLEY BANK                                  LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


repayment of any portion of the Obligations; or (q) an Event of Default under
the IP Security Agreement executed in connection with this Agreement shall
occur.

         7.2      REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuing of any
Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and
without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived
by Borrower), may do any one or more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or
otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other
document or agreement; (b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the
Obligations to be immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any
deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or
relating to any Obligation; (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral
wherever it may be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes
Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of Borrower's premises
without interference to search for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove
any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or cause a custodian to remain
on the premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as it
is reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under
this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon
seek to take possession of any of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security relating
thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such
possession; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit
or action to recover possession thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Silicon
retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial
or final judgment; (d) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral
and make it available to Silicon at places designated by Silicon which are
reasonably convenient to Silicon and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to
such locations as Silicon may deem advisable; (e) Complete the processing,
manufacturing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and,
for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to
use Borrower's premises, vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all
other property without charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of
the Collateral, in its condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it or
after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or
private sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on
credit, and to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than
oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right
to conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time
or times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon's premises, or elsewhere and
the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;
(g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General Intangibles
comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably
authorizes Silicon to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all collections,
receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail
addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any
item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon's sole discretion,
to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of
Borrower's general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon; and (i)
Demand and receive possession of any of Borrower's federal and state income tax
returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or
referring thereto. All reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities
and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added
to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the
Obligations. Without limiting any of Silicon's rights and remedies, from and
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to
the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four percent (4%) per annum.
All exercise of remedies by or on behalf of Silicon shall be done in a
commercially reasonable manner.

         7.3      STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower
and Silicon agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any
Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be
deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to
Borrower at least ten days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale,
notice of the sale is published at least ten days before the sale in a newspaper
of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii)
Notice of the sale describes the

collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a
place reasonably designated by Silicon, with or without the Collateral being
present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v)
Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer is
required; (vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may
(but is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly
from Borrower any and all information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free
to employ other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its
discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.

         7.4      POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting Silicon's other rights and
remedies, Borrower grants to Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled
with an interest, authorizing and permitting Silicon (acting through any of its
employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without
obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do
any or all of the following, in Borrower's name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees
to exercise the following powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a)
Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Silicon may, in its sole
discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's security
interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or
Silicon, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements; (b) Execute on
behalf of Borrower any document exercising, transferring or assigning any option
to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any
real or personal property which is part of Silicon's Collateral or in which
Silicon has an interest; (c) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices
relating to any Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice
to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien,
claim of mechanic's, materialman's or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction
of mechanic's, materialman's or other lien; (d) Take control in any manner of
any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the
name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or
Collateral that may come into Silicon's possession; (e) Endorse all checks and
other forms of remittances received by Silicon; (f) Pay, contest or settle any
lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of
the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to
terminate or discharge the same; (g) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise
claims and settle Receivables and General Intangibles for less than face value
and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay
any sums required on account of Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any
liens therefor, or both; (i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any
insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment
therefor; (j) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or
records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give Silicon the same rights
of access and other rights with respect thereto as Silicon has under this
Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement and any other present or future agreements. Any and all
reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities,
obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon with respect to the
foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, shall be payable
on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate
applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall Silicon's rights under
the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon's other rights under this
Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in control of the business,
management or properties of Borrower.

         7.5      APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result
of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees
incurred by Silicon in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second
to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of
the Obligations, in such order as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally
entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency.
If, Silicon, in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a
deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of
Collateral, Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole
discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of
purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual
receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor.

         7.6      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies
set forth in this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and
remedies accorded a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial
Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or
agreement now or in the future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and
all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


or partial exercise by Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall
not be deemed an election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial
exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to
exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all
rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the
Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

8.       DEFINITIONS.

         As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following
meanings:

         "ACCOUNT DEBTOR" means the obligor on a Receivable.

         "AFFILIATE" means, with respect to any Person, a relative, partner,
shareholder, director, officer, or employee of such Person, or any parent or
subsidiary of such Person, or any Person controlling, controlled by or under
common control with such Person.

         "BUSINESS DAY" means a day on which Silicon is open for business in

         "ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES" means Receivables arising in the ordinary course
of Borrower's business from the sale of goods or rendition of services, which
Silicon, in its commercially reasonably judgment, shall deem eligible for
borrowing, based on such considerations as Silicon may from time to time deem
appropriate. Without limiting the fact that the determination of which
Receivables are eligible for borrowing is a matter of Silicon's discretion, the
following (the "MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS") are the minimum requirements
for a Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable: (i) the Receivable must not be
outstanding for more than 90 days from its invoice date, (ii) the Receivable
must not be subject to any contingencies (including Receivables arising from
sales on consignment, guaranteed sale or other terms pursuant to which payment
by the Account Debtor may be conditional, except as may otherwise be acceptable
to Silicon in its commercially reasonable discretion), (iii) the Receivable must
not the subject of a dispute (whether or not relating to the particular
Receivable) and then shall be excluded only to the extent of such dispute, (iv)
the Receivable must not be owing from an Affiliate of Borrower, (v) the
Receivable must not be owing from an Account Debtor which is subject to any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or whose financial condition is not
reasonably acceptable to Silicon, or which, fails or goes out of a material
portion of its business, (vi) the Receivable must not be owing from the United
States or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof (unless there has

Claims Act), (vii) the Receivable must not be owing from an Account Debtor
located outside the United States (unless pre-approved by Silicon in its
discretion in writing, or backed by a letter of credit satisfactory to Silicon,
or FCIA insured satisfactory to Silicon), and (viii) the Receivable must not be
owing from an Account Debtor to whom Borrower is or may be liable for goods
purchased from such Account Debtor or otherwise, but shall only be excluded up
to the extent of the amount of such purchase. Receivables owing from one Account
Debtor will not be deemed Eligible Receivables to the extent they exceed 25% of
the total Receivables outstanding. In addition, if more than 50% of the
Receivables owing from an Account Debtor are outstanding more than 90 days from
their invoice date (without regard to unapplied credits), then all Receivables
owing from that Account Debtor will be deemed ineligible for borrowing. In
addition, Eligible Receivables will be further reduced by the Borrower's
"gross-down" reserves, as adjusted monthly and as reflected on the Borrower's
balance sheets. Silicon may, from

with the extension, renewal or refinancing of the indebtedness secured by liens
of the type described above in clauses (i) or (ii) above, provided that any
extension, renewal or replacement lien is limited to the property encumbered by
the existing lien and the principal amount of the indebtedness being extended,
renewed or refinanced does not increase; and (viii)Liens in favor of customs and
revenue authorities which secure payment of customs duties in connection with
the importation of goods. Silicon will have the right to require, as a condition
to its consent under subsection (iv) above, that the holder of the additional
security interest or lien sign an intercreditor agreement on Silicon's then
standard form, acknowledge that the security interest is subordinate to the
security interest in favor of Silicon, and agree not to take any action to
enforce its subordinate security interest so long as any Obligations remain
outstanding, and that Borrower agree that any uncured default in any obligation
secured by the subordinate security interest shall also constitute an Event of
Default under this Agreement.

         "PERSON" means any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint
venture, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation,
government, or any agency or political division thereof, or any other entity.

accounts (whether or not earned by performance), letters of credit, contract
rights, chattel paper, instruments, securities, securities accounts, investment

to or repossessed by Borrower, and all rights of stoppage in transit and all
other rights or remedies of an unpaid vendor, lienor or secured party.

         "RESERVES" means, as of any date of determination, such amounts as
Silicon may from time to time establish and revise in good faith reducing the
amount of Loans, Letters of Credit and other financial accommodations which
would otherwise be available to Borrower under the lending formula(s) provided
in the Schedule: (a) to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks
which, as determined by Silicon in good faith, do or may affect (i) the
Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its
value (including without limitation any increase in delinquencies of
Receivables), (ii) the assets, business or prospects of Borrower or any
Guarantor, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Silicon in the
Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof); or
(b) to reflect Silicon's good faith belief that any collateral report or
financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any guarantor to
Silicon is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material
respect; or (c) in respect of any state of facts which Silicon determines in
good faith constitutes an Event of Default or may, with notice or passage of
time or both, constitute an Event of Default.

         OTHER TERMS. All accounting terms used in this Agreement, unless
otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings given to such terms in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. All other
terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the
meanings provided by the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

Obligations, all checks, and other items of payment received by Silicon
(including proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall
be deemed applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations three Business Days
after receipt by Silicon of immediately available funds (except that wired funds
will be applied within one Business Day from receipt thereof), and, for purposes
of the foregoing, any such funds received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be
deemed received on the next Business Day. Silicon may charge Borrower's loan
account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Silicon
unpaid.

         9.2      APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments with respect to the
Obligations may be applied, and in Silicon's sole discretion reversed and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         9.3      CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Silicon may, in its discretion, require
that Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

         9.4      MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Silicon 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 Silicon), unless Borrower
notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within sixty days after each account
is received by Borrower, describing the nature of any alleged errors or
admissions.

         9.5      NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery
service or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt
requested, addressed to Silicon or Borrower at the addresses shown in the
heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one
party to the other party. Notices to Silicon shall be directed to the Commercial
Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division
Credit Manager. Notices to Borrower shall be directed to its Chief Financial
Officer with a copy to its General Counsel. All notices shall be deemed to have
been given upon delivery in the case of notices personally delivered, or at the
expiration of one Business Day following delivery to the private delivery
service, or two Business Days following the deposit thereof in the United States
mail, with postage prepaid.

         9.6      SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect
shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full
force and effect.

         9.7      INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements,
documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the
final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and
agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are
no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which
are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the
parties in connection herewith.

         9.8      WAIVERS. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to
require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement
or any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Silicon shall not
waive or diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict
compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any
other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of
the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Silicon shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and
delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Silicon on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any
action taken by Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

         9.9      NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Silicon, nor any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person
affiliated with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands,
losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered
by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or
any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person
affiliated with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve
Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         9.10     AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not
be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly
authorized officer of Silicon.

         9.11     TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

         9.12     ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for
all reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title
insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon,
pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or
not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs Silicon incurs in order to do the following: prepare
and negotiate this Agreement and the documents relating to this Agreement;
obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or
seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions
by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding;
initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file
or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other
claim; examine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of
Borrower's books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of,
or otherwise enforce Silicon's security interest in, the Collateral; and
otherwise represent Silicon in any litigation relating to Borrower. In
satisfying Borrower's obligation hereunder to reimburse Silicon for attorneys
fees, Borrower may, for convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon's
attorneys, Riemer & Braunstein, LLP, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Riemer & Braunstein, LLP is representing only Silicon and not Borrower in
connection with this Agreement. If either Silicon or Borrower files any lawsuit
against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, Silicon shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not
LIMITED to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of,
execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All
attorneys' fees and costs to which Silicon may be entitled pursuant to this
Section 9.12 shall immediately become part of Borrower's Obligations, shall be
due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest
rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

         9.13     BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns,
heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Silicon; provided,
however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited
assignment shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release
Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.

         9.14     RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Borrower and any guarantor hereby grant to
Silicon, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all
Obligations to Silicon, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and
against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Silicon or any entity under the
control of Silicon Valley Bank or in transit to any of them. At any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand
or notice, Silicon may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same
to any liability or obligation of Borrower and any guarantor even though
unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the
loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE SILICON TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING
ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF
THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVED.

         9.15.    JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than
one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of
any claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a
compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

         9.16     LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by
Borrower against Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents,
accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan
Agreement, or any other present or future document or agreement, or any other
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any
other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to
be

done by Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or
attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an
action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a
complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which
such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, or if later, upon
Borrower obtaining knowledge of the existence of such claim. Borrower agrees
that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Borrower to
investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period
provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written
consent of Silicon in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any
termination of this Loan Agreement or any other present or future agreement.

         9.17     SECTION HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. Section headings are only used
in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Silicon acknowledge that the
headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable
section, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit,
define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term
"including", whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including (but not
limited to)". This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the
parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against Silicon or Borrower under any rule
of construction or otherwise.

         9.18     GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE. This Agreement and all
acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Silicon and
Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As
a material part of the consideration to Silicon to enter into this Agreement,
Borrower (i) agrees that all actions and proceedings relating directly or
indirectly to this Agreement shall, at Silicon's option, be litigated in state
or federal courts located within Massachusetts; (ii) consents to the
jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in
any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any other method permitted
by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Borrower may have to object to the
jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such
action or proceeding, provided, however, that if for any reason Silicon cannot
avail itself of such courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Borrower
accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Clara, California.

         9.19     MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND SILICON EACH HEREBY
WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING
OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN SILICON AND BORROWER, OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF SILICON OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH SILICON OR BORROWER, IN
ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

10.      CONFIDENTIALITY

         In handling any confidential information, Silicon shall exercise the
same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary and confidential
information, but disclosure of information may be made: (i) to Silicon 's
subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their present or prospective
business relations with Borrower, provided such subsidiaries and/or affiliates
agree to bound by confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those in
this Agreement; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in
the Loans, provided such transferees and purchasers agree in writing to be bound
by confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those in this Agreement;
(iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required
in connection with Silicon 's examination or audit, provided the recipient of
the information agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions no less
restrictive than those in this Agreement; and (v) as Silicon considers
appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement, provided Silicon
notifies Borrower prior to any such disclosure. Confidential information does
not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in Silicon
's possession when disclosed to Silicon , or becomes part of the public domain
after disclosure to Silicon other than due to Silicon's breach of its
confidentiality obligations hereunder; or (b) is disclosed to Silicon by a third
party, if Silicon reasonably does not know that the third party is prohibited
from disclosing the information.
