      The Loan

      


      SECTION
2.01. Loan
Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and relying upon the
representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in, this Agreement, the
Bank (a) shall make the proceeds of the Loan available to the Borrower on the
date (the “Closing Date”) on which the Borrower executes and delivers to the
Bank the promissory note evidencing the Loan.

      


      SECTION

Term Loan Note.
The obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of
the Loan,  to pay interest thereon, and pay unused commitment fees,
shall be evidenced, by a Subordinated Term Loan Note of even date herewith (such

same, is referred to herein as the “Note”). The unpaid principal balance of the
Note, the interest and fees, if any, accrued thereon, the
interest rate applicable to such balance, and the term of the Loan shall be
determined from the terms of the Note and the records of the Bank in the absence
of manifest error.

      


      SECTION
2.03. Advances.

      


      (a)        
In accordance with this Agreement and other Loan Documents, Borrower may from
time to time request one or more advances (each advance hereunder being referred
to herein as an “Advance”).  The aggregate principal amount of all
Advances disbursed hereunder shall not exceed $4,000,000.00 (the “Principal
Limit”).

      


      (b)         By
requesting an Advance, Borrower makes a warranty that Borrower is in compliance
with all Loan Documents.  When making a request for an Advance,
Borrower must specify the requested amount and the date.  All Advances
will be made in United States dollars.  Borrower agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Bank for the Bank’s reliance on any request for Advances
that the Bank reasonably believes to be genuine.  To the extent
permitted by law, Borrower will indemnify the Bank and hold the Bank harmless
when the person making any request represents that Borrower authorized the
person to request an Advance even when the person is unauthorized or the
person’s signature is not genuine.  The Borrower may request Advances
by the following methods: (1) in person; (2) by phone; or (3) by
mail.

      


      (c)         In
addition to any other Loan conditions, requests for, and access to, Advances are
subject to the following limitations:

      


      (1)
Obligatory Advances.  Bank will make all Advances under and subject to
this Agreement’s terms and conditions.

      


      (2)
Advance Amount.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement, Advances will be made in the amount requested by
Borrower.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      (3)
Disbursement of Advances.  On Borrower’s fulfillment of this
Agreement’s terms and conditions, Bank will disburse the Advance in any manner
mutually agreed upon.

      


      (4)
Credit Limit.  Borrower understands that the Bank will not ordinarily
grant a request for an Advance that would cause the unpaid principal of the Loan
to be greater than the Principal Limit.  The Bank may, at its option,
grant such a request without obligating the Bank to do so in the
future.  The Borrower will pay any over Advances in addition to the
regularly scheduled payments.  The Borrower will repay any over
Advance by repaying the Bank in full within 10 days after the overdraft
occurs.

      


      (5)
Records.  The Bank’s records will be conclusive evidence as to the
amount of Advances, the Note’s unpaid principal balances and the accrued
interest.

      


      (d)         The
Borrower will satisfy all of the following conditions before the Bank will make
any Advances under this Agreement.

      


      (1) No
Default.  There has not been a default under this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents nor would a default result from making the Loan or any
Advance.

      


      (2)
Information.  The Bank has received all documents, information,
certifications and warranties as the Bank may require, all properly executed, if
appropriate, on forms acceptable to the Bank.

      


      (3)
Inspections.  The Bank has made all inspections it considers necessary
and is satisfied with this inspection.

      


      (4)
Conditions and Covenants.  Borrower will have performed and complied
with all conditions required for an Advance and all covenants in this Agreement
and any other Loan Documents.

      


      (5)
Warranties and Representations.  The warranties and representations
contained in this Agreement are true and correct at the time of making the
requested Advance.

      


      (6)
Financial Statements.  The Borrower’s most recent financial statements
and other financial reports, delivered to the Bank, are current, complete, true
and accurate in all material respects and fairly represent the Borrower’s
financial condition.

      


      (7)
Bankruptcy Proceedings.  No proceeding under the United States
Bankruptcy Code has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s affiliates.

      


      (8)

Business Days’ written notice to the Bank, without penalty, prepay the Loan in
whole or in part at any time provided that all prepayments shall be accompanied
by payment of all interest and
fees accrued thereon to date. Notwithstanding eligible prepayments under
Section 2.04, any prepayment made from the proceeds of a public stock offering
and/or the sale of the majority of the stock or assets of the Borrower shall not
be considered an eligible payment under Section 2.04.  In the event of
an ineligible payment, there shall be a  prepayment fee of
$50,000.

      


      SECTION
2.05. General
Provisions as to Loan Payments and Computation of Interest. The Borrower
shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loan in lawful
money of the United States of America and in federal or other funds immediately
available to the Bank at its address referred to in Section 9.03. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank to debit any of its accounts at the Bank
for the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents on the due date
for such payments. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Loan shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall
continue to accrue thereon. If the date for any payment of principal of the Loan
is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable
for such extended time.  Interest on the Loan shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

      SECTION
3.03. No Pending
Material Litigation or Proceeding. There

the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries) pending or, to the knowledge and belief
of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries. The Borrower and its subsidiaries are duly and validly
organized and existing entities in good standing under the laws of their
respective jurisdictions of organization. The Borrower and its subsidiaries are
duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as foreign entities in all other
jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of property or the nature of
business transacted makes such qualification necessary, and are entitled to own
their respective properties and assets, and to carry on their respective
businesses, all as, and in the places where, such properties and
assets are now owned or operated or such businesses are now conducted or
presently proposed to be conducted, except where failure to so qualify would not
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or assets, or in the
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as
a whole. The Borrower and its subsidiaries have made payment of all franchise
and similar taxes in their respective jurisdictions in which they are qualified
as foreign entities, insofar as such taxes are due and payable at the date of

been set aside on the books of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, as the
case may be. The shares of capital stock of each subsidiary owned by the
Borrower, directly or indirectly, have been duly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable, and are owned free and clear of any liens, charges and
encumbrances.

values of which are reflected in the latest audited consolidated balance sheet
referred to in Section 3.01 is held by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries
as lessee under any lease (excluding capitalized lease obligations). The
Borrower and its subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under
all of the leases under which they are operating, none of which contains any
unusual or burdensome provisions that will, in the judgment of the Borrower,
materially and adversely affect or impair the operations of the Borrower and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. All of such leases are valid, subsisting and in
full force and effect and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, none of such
leases is in default.

and adversely affects its business, property, assets, operations or condition,
financial or otherwise.

      


      SECTION
3.07. No Legal
Restrictions on Performance: No Defaults.  Neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by it, nor compliance with its terms and conditions will conflict
with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or of any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, bank loan or credit agreement, corporate
charter, bylaws or any other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or
any of its subsidiaries is now a party or by which any
of them or their respective properties may be bound or affected, or any judgment
or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator, or
federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien charge or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or its
subsidiaries under the terms or provisions of any such agreement or instrument.
Except with the respect to the alleged agreement
that is the subject of the litigation disclosed on Schedule A hereto, the
Borrower or its subsidiaries is not in default in any material respect in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or
securing Indebtedness of the Borrower or its subsidiaries or pursuant to which
any such Indebtedness is issued or other agreement or instrument to which the
Borrower or its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Borrower or its
subsidiaries or its properties may be bound or affected. No event has occurred
which constitutes an event of default or which, with notice or the lapse of
time, or both, would constitute an event of default under any agreement or
instrument evidencing Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Borrower or any of
its subsidiaries which enables the holders thereof or any Person on their behalf
to declare the same due and payable prior to the maturity thereof.

      


      SECTION
3.08. Compliance with
Statutes and Regulations. The Borrower and its subsidiaries have complied

foregoing, in  respect of the conduct of their respective businesses
and ownership of their respective properties (including, without limitation,
applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to bank
holding companies, banks, equal employment opportunities and environmental
standards or controls), where failure to comply therewith would have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties or assets, or in the condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
No governmental consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be
obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in
connection with the execution and delivery of this agreement.

several which in the aggregate exceed $500,000) shall be rendered against the
Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and the same shall remain undischarged for a
period of 60 days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed;

      then, and
in each and every such case, the Bank by notice in writing to the Borrower may
declare the principal of the Note to be immediately due and payable, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable, anything
in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and Bank may exercise all
of its remedies as set forth in the Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit

      In case
any one or more of the Events of Default specified above in this Section 8.01

enforce its rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, or by
other appropriate proceedings, whether for the specific performance (to the
extent permitted by law) of any covenant or agreement contained in the Loan
Documents, or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted in the Loan Documents, or may proceed to enforce the payment of
the Note or to enforce any other legal or equitable right of the Bank. The
Borrower shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Bank in connection
with the enforcement of the Loan Documents.
