subject to the Closing of the Asset Sale and the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents by Borrower in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, each
of Embark and Lender releases the other from any and all claims, demands, debts,
issues, causes of action and liabilities, whether liquidated or unliquidated,
fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, then existing or
thereafter arising, that are based in whole or part on any act, omission or
other occurrence relating to the Embark Subordinated Loan Agreement and the
transactions contemplated therein or arising in connection therewith, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, those arising in connection
with any written or oral communications between Lender and the Embark, or
between any of Lender or the Embark and any other person or entity, or the
actions of Lender, or the Embark, as the case may be, or their officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys, agents, successors, assigns,
heirs and representatives in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively,
the "Released Matters"); provided, however, that nothing contained in the
foregoing release shall be applicable to the parties' respective rights and
obligations with respect to any act, omission or other occurrence not relating
to the Released Matters, and each of the Embark and Lender hereby affirms its
unreleased obligations to the other. Each of the Embark and Lender acknowledges
and agrees that it is aware of, familiar with, understands, and expressly waives
the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any other
similar statute, code, law or regulation to the fullest extent it may waive such
rights and benefits. Section 1542 provides:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
          not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
          release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
          settlement with the debtor.

     2.4. Revival of Obligations. Embark acknowledges and agrees that in the
event that the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by Borrower does not
occur, for any reason, then the liability of Embark under the Embark
Subordinated Loan Documents and the Obligations shall be automatically revived,
reinstated and restored in such amount or amounts and shall exist, and the
release set forth in Section 2.3 herein shall be rendered null, void and of no
effect whatsoever.

SECTION 3. THE LOAN; REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY OF LENDER

     3.1. The Loan shall bear interest thereon from the Effective Date,
precomputed at the rate of six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) per annum, based
upon a year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Borrower
shall make twenty-four (24) equal payments of principal and accrued interest on
the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in the amount of $151,073.37 each,
on the first day of each month ("Payment Date"), commencing November 1, 2001,
through and including the Maturity Date. If any payment under this Agreement
shall be payable on a day other than a business day, then such payment shall be
due and payable on


                                        9




<PAGE>

the next succeeding business day. Amounts repaid on the Loan shall not be
reborrowed. The Loan, and other Secured Obligations arising under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general obligation of Borrower
secured by all of the Collateral. Reference is made to that Subordination
Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender in the form of
Exhibit E hereto ("Subordination Agreement"), which is being executed to provide
for the subordination of Lender in right of payment and liens to any Senior
Creditors (as defined in the Subordination Agreement), the terms of which are
more fully set forth in such Subordination Agreement.

     3.2. Embark hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no claims,
counterclaims, offsets, or defenses to the Embark Subordinated Loan Documents or
the performance of its respective obligations thereunder, or if Embark has any
such claims, counterclaims, offsets, or defenses to the Embark Subordinated Loan
Documents or any transactions related thereto, the same are hereby fully and
irrevocably waived, relinquished, and released in consideration of the execution
and delivery by Lender of this Agreement.

     3.3.

          (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Restated
     Note, or any other Loan Document, it is the parties' intent not to contract
     for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum
     rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem
     applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of Illinois shall be
     deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on
     commercial loans) (the "Maximum Rate"). If a court of competent
     jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to
     Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been
     payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest
     at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower
     shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding
     on the Restated Note; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment
     of Lender's accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any
     other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are
     repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

          (b) In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder,
     delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on
     interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 3.1(a) or Section
     3.1(c), as applicable.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
     Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest,
     compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate
     per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 3.1(a) plus five percent
     (5%) per annum ("Default Rate").

     3.4. Embark acknowledges and agrees that an "Event of Default" has occurred
under the Embark Subordinated Loan Agreement (the "Embark Defaults").
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Embark Subordinated
Loan Documents, Lender hereby agrees to forbear from exercising any of its
rights and remedies, if any, against Borrower as a result of the Embark Defaults
until the occurrence of an Event of Default other than the Embark Defaults.

     3.5. Lender represents and warrants to TPR, Borrower and Embark that it has
the full power and authority to release the Released Matters and enter into the
Loan Documents, and that Lender's execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Lenders and
will not violate any law, regulation, order, injunction, judgment, decree or
writ to which Lender is subject.

SECTION 4. SECURITY INTEREST

     4.1. As security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment when due
(whether on the Payment Dates or otherwise) of all of the Secured Obligations
upon the terms


                                       10

other Loan Documents, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in and Lien

          (h) All Deposit Accounts;

          (i) All Cash;

          (j) All other Goods and tangible and intangible personal property of

     foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and
     rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.

          (l) Lender agrees that the security interest granted and the lien
     created hereby only, shall be subordinate to the security interest and lien
     of any Senior Creditor.

          (m) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include
     any personal property of Borrower to the extent that the granting of a
     security interest therein as of the date hereof requires the consent of a
     third party that has not been obtained. The Borrower agrees to use
     reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consent referred to in
     the preceding sentence as may be requested by Lender.

SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LOAN

and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found
in Section 7.4. Borrower or TPR must maintain a minimum of $3,500,000 of

stockholders harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses,

          consolidating basis, if applicable), including balance sheet and
          related statements of income and cash flows accompanied by a report
          detailing any material contingencies (including the commencement of

          occurrence that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
          Adverse Effect, all certified by Borrower's Chief Executive Officer or
          Chief Operating Officer to be true and correct; and

          by any management report from such accountants;

          (b) Borrower shall furnish to Lender promptly after the sending or
     filing thereof, as the case may be, copies of any proxy statements,
     financial statements or reports that Borrower has made available to its

          (c) Borrower shall furnish to Lender promptly, any additional

management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and
records. In addition, Lender shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals
to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning
significant business issues affecting Borrower. Such consultations shall not
unreasonably interfere with Borrower's business operations. The parties intend
that the rights granted Lender shall constitute "management rights" within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice,
recommendations or participation by Lender with respect to any business issues
shall not be deemed to give Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by Lender of,
control over Borrower's management or policies.

     8.4. Borrower shall execute, deliver and file, alone or with Lender, any
financing statements, security agreements, assignments, notices, control
agreements, or other documents to perfect or give priority to Lender's Lien on
the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens. Borrower shall from time to
time procure any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by
Lender, and take all further action that may be reasonably necessary to carry
out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or to confirm, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens granted
hereby and thereby. In addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby
authorizes Lender to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such
financing statements, assignments, notices, control agreements, security
agreements and other documents without the signature of Borrower either in
Lender's name or in the name of Borrower as agent and attorney-in-fact for
Borrower. The parties agree that a carbon, facsimile, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and
may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.

Collateral (including assets of any subsidiary of Borrower) and (ii) be free and
clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens), (b) any parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of Borrower guarantee the Obligations, or (c) documents be delivered,

of Merger Event, the foregoing prohibition and obligations in this Section 8.8
shall apply only if the ratio of Permitted Indebtedness (which does not include
Future Indebtedness that is subordinate to payment to Lender) to Net Worth is

nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or
hereafter imposed or assessed against Borrower, Lender or the Collateral or upon
Borrower's ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon
Borrower's rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom. Borrower shall file on
or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns in respect of
the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may contest, in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which Borrower maintains
adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.

     8.12. Borrower shall not relocate any item or items of the Collateral with
an aggregate value in excess of $25,000 to Alabama, Florida or Mississippi until
January 1, 2002 (other than in accordance with any sale of Inventory in the
ordinary course of business) unless: (i) it has obtained the prior written
consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (ii)
such relocation shall be within the continental United States. If permitted to
relocate Collateral pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless otherwise agreed
in writing by Lender, Borrower shall first (a) cause to be filed and/or
delivered to Lender all UCC financing statements, certificates or other
documents or instruments necessary to continue in effect the perfected Lien of
Lender in the Collateral, and (b) have given Lender no less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice of such relocation.

     8.13. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign
all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Restated Note and Loan
Documents to any Person (an "Assignee"). After such assignment the term "Lender"
as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such
Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender
hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such
interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies
hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its
obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of
the Restated Note, it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the
principal of the Restated Note, that shall have been paid at the time of such
transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

     8.14. Borrower shall not change its corporate name, legal form or
jurisdiction of formation without reasonable prior written notice to Lender.

     8.15. If, at any time, the balance of any new account not identified in
Exhibit D exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall, within two (2) weeks of the creation
of such account, transfer the balance of such new account into an account
identified in Exhibit D in which Lender has a perfected security interest and
"Control" (as such term is defined in the UCC), less an amount reasonably
necessary for Borrower to conduct business in the ordinary course. In any event,
Borrower shall make reasonable best efforts to ensure that Lender has a
perfected security interest and "Control" in all of Borrower's Deposit Accounts,
whether now existing or created after the date of this Agreement.

     8.16. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any
Indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness.

          The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (herein

Secured Obligation involving the payment of money under this Agreement, the
Restated Note or any of

such default to Borrower, or (ii) Borrower's actual knowledge of such default or
(b) with respect to a default under Section 5 on the earlier of the date on
which (i) Lender has given notice of such default to Borrower and (ii)
Borrower's actual knowledge of such default; or

     9.3. Any representation or warranty made by Borrower in any Loan Document

(b) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or its

or (c) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or (d) file any petition,

or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any substantial part (i.e., 33-1/3% or
more) of the assets or property of Borrower; or (f) cease operations of its
business as its business has normally been conducted, or terminate substantially
all of its employees; or (g) take any action, or any of Borrower's directors or
majority stockholders shall take any action, initiating any of the foregoing
actions described in clauses (a) through (f); or

     9.5. Either (a) sixty (60) days shall have expired after the commencement
of an involuntary action against Borrower seeking reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future statute, law or regulation, without such action being
dismissed or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or
the business of Borrower being stayed; or (b) a stay of any such order or
proceedings shall thereafter be set aside and the action setting it aside shall
not be timely appealed; or (c) Borrower shall file any answer admitting or not
contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower in any
such proceedings; or (d) the court in which such proceedings are pending shall
enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in any such proceedings; or

     9.6. Sixty (60) days shall have expired after the appointment, without the
consent or acquiescence of Borrower, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of
Borrower or of all or any substantial part of the properties of Borrower without
such appointment being vacated; or

     9.7. The occurrence of any material default under any Excluded Agreement,
any note or agreement for borrowed money, or any other agreement between
Borrower and Lender (other than any default embodied in or covered by any other
clause of this Section 9) and such default continues for more than twenty (20)
days after the earlier of (a) Lender has given notice of such default to
Borrower, or (b) Borrower has actual knowledge of such default; or

     9.8. Either (i) the occurrence of any material default (other than any
default embodied in or covered by any other clause of this Section 9) under any

Effect, or (ii) the entry of any judgment or arbitration award against Borrower
involving an award that, in the case of (i) or (ii), could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, that has not been bonded or stayed
on appeal within thirty (30) days.

SECTION 10. REMEDIES

     10.1. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, (i)
Lender's obligation to permit the Loan and Secured Obligations to remain
outstanding shall automatically expire, and (ii) the Restated Note and all of
the Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and
payable, in each case without any further notice or act. Upon and after an Event
of Default, the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Restated Note
and all outstanding Secured Obligations, including all professional fees and
expenses, shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender may
exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan
Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law,
including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize
upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to
occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Lender's rights and
remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

     10.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect,
liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all
of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially
reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect. Any
such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business
or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur
upon five (5) calendar days' prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may
require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a
place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower.
The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in the following order of
priorities:

          First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender's costs
and professionals' and advisors' fees and expenses as described in Section
11.15;

          Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the
Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate
interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole
discretion; and

          Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in Cash of
all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the
Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.

Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and
disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a
secured party under the UCC.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1. Continuation of Security Interest. This is a continuing Agreement and
the grant of a Lien hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all of
the rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall continue to exist
until the Termination Date and until Lender has executed a written termination
statement. Lender shall execute a termination statement within a reasonable time
after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in Cash of the Secured
Obligations hereunder, reassigning to Borrower, without recourse, the Collateral
and all rights conveyed hereby and returning possession of the Collateral to
Borrower. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and
are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and
remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of
remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender.

     11.2. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be


                                       19




<PAGE>

ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.

     11.3. Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other
communication (including the delivery of Financial Statements) that is required,
contemplated, or permitted under the Loan Documents or with respect to the
subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.

     11.4. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Restated Note, and
the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets,
letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral,
with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof, all of which are merged
herein and therein. None of the terms of this Agreement, the Restated Note or
any of the other Loan Documents may be amended except by an instrument executed
by each of the parties hereto.

     11.5. Headings. The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement or any provisions hereof.


                                       20




<PAGE>

     11.6. Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party
hereto that it has discussed (or had an opportunity to discuss) with its counsel
this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 11.12, 11.13 and
11.14.

     11.7. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly
in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement.

     11.8. No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are
solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to
exercise or refrain from exercising any such powers, as the case may be. No act,
omission or delay by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved
to it (whether impliedly or expressly), or to require performance of any of the
terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall
be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled hereunder,
nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions
thereafter as Lender sees fit in Lender's sole discretion.

     11.9. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement, the Restated Note and the other Loan Documents or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Lender
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the Loan
and the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied.

     11.10. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower
and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations
under this Agreement, the Restated Note or any of the other Loan Documents
without Lender's express prior written consent, and any such attempted
assignment shall be void and of no effect. Lender may assign, transfer, or
endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in
Section 8.13 without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall
inure to the benefit of Lender's successors and assigns.

     11.11. Tax Indemnification. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender
harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes (excluding
taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable or
determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection
with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     11.12. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Restated Note and the other Loan
Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of Illinois,
and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of Illinois. Payment to
Lender by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of Illinois.
This Agreement, the Restated Note and the other Loan Documents shall be governed
by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Illinois, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application
of laws of any other jurisdiction.

     11.13. Consent To Jurisdiction And Venue. All judicial proceedings arising
in or under or related to this Agreement, the Restated Note or any of the other
Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent
jurisdiction located in the State of Illinois. By execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to
personal jurisdiction in Cook County, State of Illinois; (b) waives any
objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Cook County, State of Illinois; (c)
agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the
aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment
rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Restated Note


                                       21




<PAGE>

or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any
action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given
in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.3, and
shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.3. Nothing
herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts
of any other jurisdiction.

     11.14. Mutual Waiver Of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection
with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved
by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and
federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that
their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF
BORROWER AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR
ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST LENDER OR
ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends
to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower
and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the
relationship between Borrower and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of
contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind,
arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Excluded
Agreements.

     11.15. Professional Fees. Embark agrees to pay any and all reasonable
attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with or related to the negotiation and documentation of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agree to pay any and all
reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with or related to: (a) the administration, collection, or
enforcement of the Loan; (b) amendment or modification of the Loan Documents;
(c) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Agreements; (d)
the protection, preservation, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of
Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (e) any
legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in
connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or
review thereof; and (f) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action
related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, or the Excluded
Agreements, including representing Lender in any adversary proceeding or
contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower's estate,
and any appeal or review thereof. Lender's professional fees and expenses shall
include fees or expenses for Lender's attorneys, accountants, auctioneers,
liquidators, appraisers, investment advisors, environmental and management
consultants, or experts engaged by Lender in connection with the foregoing.
Borrower's promise to pay all of Lender's reasonable professional fees and
expenses is part of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement. For the
purposes of this Section 11.15, attorneys' fees shall include, without
limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (i) contempt
proceedings; (ii) discovery; (iii) any motion, proceeding or other activity of
any kind in connection with an insolvency proceeding; (iv) garnishment, levy,
and debtor and third party examinations; and (v) post-judgment motions and
proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to
collect or enforce any judgment. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall
be payable upon demand by Lender, and if not paid within thirty (30) days of
presentation of invoices shall bear interest at the highest applicable Default
Rate.

     11.16. Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of
Collateral, including, but not limited to trade secrets, source codes, customer
lists and certain other items of Intellectual Property, and any Financial
Statements provided pursuant to hereto, if and to the extent such information is
marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, shall constitute
proprietary and confidential information of Borrower (the "Confidential
Information").


                                       22




<PAGE>

Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in
the course of acquiring, administering, perfecting or foreclosing Lender's
security interest in the Collateral shall be received in the strictest
confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any
manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of
Borrower, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own
directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional
advisors and to its affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that
any such party should have access to such information; (b) if such information
is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any
report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or
claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in
response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the
extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender's counsel; (e) to comply with any
legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably
necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan
Document, including Lender's sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral
after default, which Collateral constitutes or is reasonably related to
Confidential Information; (g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any
prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee
or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this
Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of
Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement
shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any
guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     11.17. Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan
Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if
any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization,
if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part
of Borrower's assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered
from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral
security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is
rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the
Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent
conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer
of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or
recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed,
without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated
except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in
Cash.

     11.18. Amendment and Restatement. Upon the satisfaction or waiver in
writing by Lender of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1, this
Agreement shall amend, restate and supersede in its entirety the Embark
Subordinated Loan Agreement. All obligations under and as defined in the Embark
Subordinated Loan Agreement that remain outstanding as of the closing of the
transactions contemplated herein shall be governed by the terms of this
Agreement, the Restated Note and the other Loan Documents.

     11.19. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents
or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument, and facsimile signatures shall be
deemed originals.
