         increased to the sum of Five Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and
         00/100 Dollars ($5,350,000.00) such that during the Overadvance Period
         only, the maximum amounts advanced under the Note and the Overadvance
         Note shall be the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the sum of Five
         Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
         ($5,350,000.00), provided, further that at all other times during the

         ($5,000,000.00), whichever is less. It is acknowledged that the
         Borrowing Base under the Loan may be adjusted during the term of the
         Loan by Lender at any time, in its sole discretion, based upon the
         result of the audits and collateral examinations conducted during the
         term of the Loan. The aggregate amounts outstanding under the Loan
         shall not at any time exceed the amount provided above, and in the
         event the amount outstanding at any time exceeds the permitted amount,
         said excess amount shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the

                           Borrower hereby agrees to and does hereby jointly and
         severally indemnify and hold harmless Lender of and from any and all
         liability in connection with payment of any and all intangible,
