                                Borrowers  combined." 

     5. Fee.  Borrower  shall pay to Silicon a fee of $2,500 in connection  with

are to be paid in full on the Termination  Date, and termination does not in any
way affect or impair any of Silicon's  rights or remedies,  nor does termination
relieve  Borrower (or any  Guarantor) of any  Obligation to Silicon until all of
the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

     7.  Representations  True. Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon that
all  representations  and  warranties  set forth in the Loan  Agreement  and the
