                                       9
<PAGE>
            otherwise make the Software or Materials available in any form to,
            or for the use or benefit of, any other person or entity other than
            its employees and agents having need for such disclosure and only to
            allow such employees and agents to use the Software as authorized
            herein;


      o     agrees to be fully responsible for compliance with all of the terms
            and conditions of this Agreement by its employees and agents; and

      o     will not, and will not permit others to, directly or indirectly
            copy, duplicate, or furnish to others any physical or magnetic
            version of the Software or Materials or any portion thereof.

Upon any breach, or attempted breach of any provision of this Section, the Bank
will have the right, in addition to other remedies available to it, to
injunctive relief enjoining such breach or attempted breach, it being
acknowledged that legal remedies are inadequate. The provisions of this Section
will survive the termination of the Agreement.

3. INTERNET ACCESS

The Customer will access the System via the public Internet. Therefore, the Bank
recommends that the Customer have appropriate security measures for Internet
use, including a proxy server and/or firewalls to control and protect Internet
access. The Bank shall not be responsible for (i) inability to contact the
System via the Internet resulting from a problem with an internet service
provider, or (ii) unknown hazards of Internet use. The Bank hereby reserves the
right, for good cause, to suspend or terminate access to the Website at its
discretion. To the extent practical, the Bank shall provide advance notice to
the Customer of any such suspension or termination.

4. SECURITY PROCEDURES

The Customer hereby acknowledges receipt of the QuickTrade(R)/Web security
procedures as detailed in the Customer Setup and Security Procedures form for
the Services to which the Customer is subscribing. The Customer agrees that
those security procedures offered by the Bank provide to it a commercially
reasonable level of security for its communications and transactions with the
Bank. Customer will promptly notify Bank of any compromise of security,
including any unauthorized use or possession of the Software. Customer will use
the Services and the Software in accordance with this Agreement and the
Materials, including without limitation, the security procedures, access codes,
passwords or other security devices ("Devices") used or assigned in connection
therewith. Customer agrees to comply with any additional security which may be
implemented by Bank, following reasonable advance notice, for a particular
Service. Customer shall be responsible for any liability, loss, or damage
resulting from Bank's actions taken in accordance with instructions to Bank from
unauthorized persons when accompanied by the applicable Devices.

5. COMMUNICATION

The Bank may assume that each inquiry, instruction and notice received by the
Bank through QuickTrade(R)/Web is a genuine, valid and authorized inquiry or
instruction of the Customer, made by a person authorized to act on behalf of the
Customer, and is effective and binding against the Customer, whether or not
authorized, if such inquiry or instruction is accepted by the Bank in good faith
and in compliance with any applicable security procedures. Furthermore, the
Customer agrees to be bound by any inquiry or instruction which is (i)
authorized by the Customer, whether or not the Bank complied with the security
procedures or (ii) communicated by the Customer in a manner not recommended by
the Bank in the security procedures.

6. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION

Bank's liability to Customer for any loss or damage arising from or relating to
this Agreement or any of the Services or the Software or Customer's use thereof,
regardless of the form of action,



                                      2
<PAGE>
shall be limited to direct damages attributable to Bank's willful misconduct or
gross negligence, however, in no event shall Bank be liable for (i) any
punitive, indirect, consequential or special damages or lost profits, even if
Bank has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or (ii) the acts or
omissions of a third party service or vendor used by Customer, or any loss,
cost, damage or expense incurred by any person or entity in connection
therewith, (iii) any application errors in or security breaches of any Browser,
(iv) the Customer's inability to access QuickTrade(R)/Web via the Internet, (v)
any interception of any information relating to the Customer or its transactions
as a result of the use of the Internet (except such as results from gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bank), (vi) any data that are
lost or destroyed in connection with the use of QuickTrade(R)/Web (except such
as results from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bank), or
(vii) the Customer's inability to access the System using QuickTrade(R)/Web, if
such inability to access the System is due to a mechanical hard drive failure or
other system failure (including, but not limited to, a "lock-up" resulting from
the Customer's use of software). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank's only
obligation to the Customer in connection with the Software is to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to correct problems that arise in the use
thereof, and the Bank shall not have any other obligation in connection
therewith and shall not suffer or incur any liability in connection therewith.

      Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any
and all claims, losses or damages of any nature whatsoever (including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising directly or
indirectly from Customer's breach of any agreement, representation or warranty
of Customer in this Agreement; provided, however, that Customer shall not be
obligated to indemnify Bank for claims, losses or damages attributable to Bank's
gross negligence or willful misconduct or Bank's breach of its representations
and warranties to Customer set forth below in Section 8(b).

      Notwithstanding and without regard to the limitations on Bank's liability
set forth in the beginning of this Section 6, Bank agrees to indemnify and hold
Customer harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, or damages of any
nature whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs) suffered by Customer or asserted by a third party against Customer
that arise directly or indirectly from any breach by Bank of the
representations, warranties and covenants made by Bank to Customer in Section
8(b) hereof provided, however, that Bank shall not be obligated to indemnify
Customer for claims, losses or damages attributable to Customer's gross
negligence or willful misconduct or Customer's breach of its agreements,
representations and warranties to Bank in this Agreement.

      In the event either party becomes aware of any actual or potential claim
for indemnification by the other hereunder, the party claiming indemnification
shall promptly notify the other party of such claim and all facts relating
thereto and allow and cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with
the defense, settlement or other resolution of such claim.

      NEITHER PARTY SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

7. REVIEW Of INFORMATION

Customer will inspect all information provided by Bank in connection with the
services. Customer agrees to promptly notify Bank of any errors in such
information or any discrepancies between its records and the information
provided by Bank or otherwise made available to Customer. If Customer fails to
notify Bank of any such error or discrepancy within 10 days of the date on which
such information is received by or otherwise made available to Customer,



                                       3
<PAGE>
then customer agrees that Bank will not be liable for any losses in connection
therewith, and Customer shall be precluded from asserting such error or
discrepancy against the Bank.

representations, warranties and covenants.

9. FORCE MAJEURE

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Bank shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in
carrying out any of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure, error,
malfunction or delay results from acts of God, strikes or stoppages of labor,
power or equipment failure (including that of any common carrier, transmission
line or software), emergency conditions, adverse weather conditions or any other
factor, medium, instrumentality, condition or cause beyond Bank's control (other
than any such other factor, medium, instrumentality, condition or cause that
would not have occurred but for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of Bank). Bank will not be liable or responsible for the acts or omissions
of any other financial institution or any third party, or for any inaccuracy or
omission in any notice, communication, data or information received by Bank from
Customer, another financial institution, or any other third party.

Customer's insolvency, receivership or voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, or
the institution of any proceeding therefor, or any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, (iii) Customer's default under any agreement or instrument between
Customer and Bank or an affiliate of Bank, or from the Customer in favor of the
Bank or an affiliate of the Bank, in each case, after giving effect to any
applicable notice or cure periods or (iv) the Bank no longer has the right to
license the Software to the Customer as provided herein or otherwise make the

<PAGE>
as to all transactions that occurred, or which Bank began processing, prior to
such termination. Sections 3 through 6, 8, 9 and 12(b) will survive termination
of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Services and the
Licenses shall automatically terminate, and Customer will immediately return to
Bank all Materials provided to Customer hereunder, and Customer will promptly
pay to Bank all sums due or to become due under this Agreement. It is expressly
agreed that instead of terminating this Agreement (and thereby automatically
terminating all Supplements), the Bank may, at its option and in its sole
discretion, choose to terminate (under the conditions for termination set forth
above) one or more, but less than all of the Supplements applicable to the
Customer.

instructions provided by a Vendor to the Bank, and Bank is hereby expressly
authorized to rely thereon.

Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or
partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude any
additional or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any
other right. No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement will

                   SUPPLEMENT TO QUICKTRADE(R)/WEB AGREEMENT
                         FOR IMPORT COLLECTION SERVICE

      This Supplement is dated as of November 3, 2003 and entered into
between the undersigned customer ("Customer") and KeyBank National Association
("Bank") as a supplement to the KeyBank QuickTrade / Web Agreement identified
above (the "Agreement"). This Supplement is part of the Agreement and is subject
to all of the terms and provisions thereof, and all references herein to the
Agreement will include this Supplement and the Set-up Forms for the services
described herein. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

      1. IMPORT COLLECTION SERVICES. Customer hereby engages the Bank to allow
the Customer to use the Import Collections Module of QuickTrade/Web. The
services provided by the Bank under the Import Collections Module of
QuickTrade/Web may include: (i) the Bank posting certain transaction details and
document descriptions related to a collection transmittal letter containing
terms and instructions from a remitting bank for an import collection
transaction concerning Customer (a "Transaction"),(ii) permitting the Customer
to agree to the Transaction whereby Customer accepts documents presented by a
remitting bank on behalf of a supplier to the Bank or instructs the Bank to
accept drafts on the Customer's behalf under authority of the power of attorney
set forth below,(iii) permitting the Customer to reject the Transaction whereby
the Customer instructs the Bank to provide advice of non-acceptance or
non-payment to the supplier via the remitting Bank, (iv) permitting the Customer
to submit settlement instructions to the Bank to receive or obtain payment from
the Customer ("Settlement Instructions"); and (v) other functions available from
time to time through the Import Collections Module (collectively, the
"Services").

      By accepting a Transaction The Customer agrees that the Bank should accept
documents or drafts on the Customer's behalf and pay the remitting bank upon
Customer's payment to the Bank pursuant to the Transaction (a "Payment
Acknowledgment"). The Customer agrees that the Bank shall not be obligated to
execute the Transaction unless Bank receives payment or acknowledgement of draft
acceptance from the Customer. The Customer further agrees that the Transaction
will be governed by the Uniform Rules of Collections as adopted by the
International Chamber of Commerce and in effect from time to time.

      The Bank will send to the Customer an e-mail notification of new activity
in the Import Collections Module. That e-mail notification will be sent to the
person designated by the Customer on the Set-up Forms. Customer acknowledges and
agrees all information relating to an import collection and provided by the Bank
to the Customer will appear in the Import Collections Module of QuickTrade/Web,
and unless otherwise agreed by the Bank, Bank is not obligated to provide other
notices or communications relating thereto to the Customer (except for the
e-mail notifications described above and, if Bank becomes aware that the e-mail
system is not functioning, Bank will provide such communications by telephone or
facsimile). Bank may provide additional information in its discretion with
respect to certain import collection transactions.

      This Supplement and the Agreement only govern the use by the Customer of
QuickTrade/Web as a means of communicating Customer's agreement to a
Transaction, Payment Acknowledgement and Settlement Instructions to the Bank.
This Agreement does not constitute a commitment by the Bank to collect or pay
any amounts for the account of the Customer, nor does it address any of the
other terms or conditions agreed to by the Bank and the Customer relating to the
method of payment or the fees paid to Bank for the Services. This
<PAGE>
Agreement does not prevent or prohibit the Customer from submitting a Payment
Acknowledgement or Settlement Instructions to the Bank in another manner
expressly agreed to by the Bank.

      The terms "Payment Acknowledgment" and "Settlement Instructions" as used
herein shall, for purposes of the Agreement, be interpreted in the broadest
sense and shall, without limitation, constitute an "instruction" or
"communication", and without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that
each Payment Acknowledgment and Settlement Instructions shall be deemed to be an
"instruction" of the Customer for purposes of Sections 4 and 5 of the Agreement.

      2. POWER OF ATTORNEY. By signing this Agreement the Customer does hereby
designate and appoint Bank as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of
substitution with respect to the completion, acceptance and delivery to any
third party drafts or bills of exchange and other necessary documentation to
perform the Services as contemplated by this Agreement. The Bank is expressly
authorized to act in accordance with any instructions received for the execution
of a Transaction as contemplated by this Agreement and the Materials, and
received in a manner consistent with the Devices. All drafts completed and/or
accepted by the Bank as agent shall be deemed, for all purposes, duly executed,
ratified and approved by the Customer. It is understood that this power of
attorney will remain in effect until the termination of this Agreement or
otherwise revoked by written notice of Customer to Bank. The Bank shall have a
reasonable time to act upon any such notice of revocation; provided, however,
such agency authority shall remain in effect for any Transaction that began
prior to such revocation until the completion of such Transaction.

      3. SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION.

            A. GENERAL. In connection with the Services, and pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement, the Customer may from time to time electronically
transmit to the Bank the Customer's agreement to a Transaction and Payment
Acknowledgement along with the Settlement Instructions, which relate to the
movement of funds from an account owned by Customer or an account that Customer
has explicit authority to cause funds to be transferred out of or disbursed from
and such account in all instances is an account maintained with the Bank or an
affiliate of Bank via wire transfer or other electronic funds transfer. Any
Settlement Instructions communicated to the Bank in the name of the Customer
will be binding and effective as the Settlement Instruction of the Customer,
whether or not authorized and regardless of the actual identity of the sender
thereof, if the Settlement Instructions are accepted by the Bank in good faith
and in compliance with the security procedures.

            B. CANCELLATION OR AMENDMENT OF SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS. The
Customer has no right to cancel or amend any Settlement Instructions after such
Settlement Instructions have been received by the Bank. However, the Bank will
use its reasonable efforts to act on the Customer's request to cancel or amend
Settlement Instructions before the Bank affects payment to the remitting bank,
as applicable, but the Bank will have no liability if such cancellation or
amendment is not effected. For purposes of this Supplement, a reference to
Settlement Instructions will include any amendment thereto or cancellation
thereof, unless the context otherwise requires.

            C. RELIANCE ON ACCOUNT AND IDENTIFYING NUMBERS. The Bank is not
responsible for detecting errors in any Settlement Instructions. The Customer is
solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of each Settlement
Instructions. Customer acknowledges that funds


                                       2
<PAGE>
transfers from the Customer's accounts may be made on the basis of account
numbers or other identifying numbers.

            D. REJECTION OF SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS. The customer agrees that
the Bank may refuse to process Settlement Instructions under the Services, even
if the Customer indicates acceptance of the Transaction, so long as the Bank is
acting in compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation.

      4. IMPORT COLLECTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY. Settlement Instructions for the
transfer of funds in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall require the
Customer to first validly purchase such foreign currency from the Bank or its
designated affiliate. If the Customer does not enter into a separate contract
for such purchase, then the Bank may apply its then-current exchange rate for
transfers to the place of payment. Any loss of exchange arising from a
subsequent cancellation of such Settlement Instructions or because of a delay or
rejection of delivery for any reason shall be for the Customer's account.

      5. SECURITY PROCEDURES. If Customer proposes or adopts a procedure for
communicating Customer's agreement to a Transaction, a Payment Acknowledgement,
Settlement Instructions (including any amendment thereto or cancellation
thereof) or other instructions or communication to Bank which varies from the
security procedures recommended by the Bank, and the Bank accepts such
instruction or communication in good faith, then the Customer agrees to be bound
by that instruction or communication, whether or not it is authorized, and will
be obligated to pay the Bank the amount thereof or any resulting transaction,
and the Customer will be deemed to have refused the security procedures that the
Bank offers and recommends as "commercially reasonable". However, the Customer
agrees that the Bank is not obligated to accept any instructions or
communications that are sent to the Bank other than in compliance with the
security procedures. The Bank will not be responsible for refusal to act upon
any instruction or communication received which does not comply with this
Agreement, including where the Bank's reasonable efforts to verify the
instruction or communication or in accordance with the security procedures have
failed or where such action is delayed until verification can be obtained.

      6. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION.

            Notwithstanding anything In the Agreement to the contrary, the
Bank's sole and exclusive liability to Customer for Bank's failure to exercise
ordinary care resulting in a delay in executing, improper execution of, or
failure to execute a Transaction, Payment Acknowledgement or Settlement
Instructions in an amount equal to interest losses attributable thereto;
provided, however, with respect to the services performed hereunder outside the
scope of Article 4A of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code, the Bank shall only
be liable to Customer for direct damages attributable to its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in performing such services; provided, further,
that in no event shall Bank be liable or responsible for (i) failure or delay in
posting information and providing e-mail notifications and information to the
Customer, or (ii) any inaccuracies or omissions in information received from
third parties, including inaccuracies or omissions in collection letters or
documents presented by Customer's vendors, that is either posted on the Import
Collections Module of QuickTrade/Web, sent via e-mail or otherwise by the Bank.
Customer understands that the information available to it in connection with the
Import Collections Module is updated periodically and therefore, may not be up
to date at the moment that the Customer takes notice of such information. In no
event will Bank be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect
loss or damage which Customer may incur or suffer in connection with this
Supplement. Bank's liability hereunder for interest



                                       3
<PAGE>
losses will be calculated by using a rate equal to the average Federal Funds
rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for the period involved.

      The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and
against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising directly or indirectly from
(i) the Bank processing Customer's acceptance or refusal of a Transaction, a
Payment Acknowledgment and any Settlement Instructions in the Customer's name
communicated to the Bank, whether or not Customer's agreement or refusal of a
Transaction, a Payment Acknowledgment or any Settlement Instructions that was
actually authorized by the Customer, so long as the Bank accepts the agreement
to or refusal of a Transaction, Payment Acknowledgment and any Settlement
Instructions in good faith and in compliance with the security procedures, (ii)
the Bank's processing Transaction, Payment Acknowledgment and Settlement
Instructions which were authorized by the Customer or which were effected in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the Bank's refusal to accept
or process a Transaction, Payment Acknowledgment or Settlement Instructions that
were communicated to it other than in compliance with the security procedures or
(iv) from the acts or omissions of Customer (including it agents, employees and
representatives) or any third party in connection with any Transaction to which
any collection letter relates, or from the breach by the Customer of any of its
agreements with and/or representations or warranties to the Bank under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Customer shall not be obligated to
indemnify the Bank for such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses to
the extent they are attributable to the Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The provisions of
this Section will survive termination of this Agreement.

      7. CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Customer hereby represents and
warrants to the Bank that with respect to each account out of which funds will
be transferred in accordance with any Settlement Instructions, Customer is
either the owner of such account or has explicit authority to cause funds to be
transferred out of or disbursed from the account. The Customer hereby re-makes
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11 of the Agreement,
after giving effect to this Supplement.

      8. GENERAL. In addition, it is expressly agreed that if the Customer is
subject to an agreement with KeyBank National Association (or one of its
branches, affiliates or subsidiaries) which purports to cover the Services in
whole or in part, then notwithstanding the existence of such agreement, this
Agreement shall be controlling with respect to the Services. This Agreement will
not become effective until the Bank notifies the Customer that the Services have
become available.

            QUICKTRADE(R)/WEB INTERNET SET-UP AND SECURITY PROCEDURES

The following procedures will be used by the bank to verify the authenticity of
applications transmitted by your organization through QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet
Application. Please read the following Security Procedures, provide the set-up
information requested, and acknowledge your receipt of the information contained
herein by executing below.

SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR - SET UP

After receiving the completed Systems Administrator Set-Up Form below, the bank
will notify your organization's Systems Administrator of your Company ID and his
or her User ID and password. The Systems Administrator must acknowledge receipt
of the User ID and password by signing and returning the accompanying
acknowledgment form. After receipt of the acknowledgment, the bank will enable
the User ID and will notify the Systems Administrator of its activation by email
sent to the e-mail address designated by the Systems Administrator. The initial
User ID will be formatted with a mnemonic code uniquely tied to your
organization. When the Systems Administrator logs in QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet
Application for the first time, the system will prompt the Systems Administrator
to change his/her password. The Systems Administrator will be responsible for
keeping his/her password confidential. The bank recommends that the Systems
Administrator change his/her password at least once every 30 days.

SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR - AUTHORITY

The Systems Administrator User ID will entitle the Systems Administrator to all
functions and transactions available through QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet
Application including:

      1)    Add users (including additional Systems Administrators) to the
            QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application system for the purpose of
            submitting letter of credit applications and amendment requests,
            entering data onto the system or accessing available data.

      2)    Eliminate or modify the access granted to any user the
            QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application product is available to, and
            the related procedures are applicable to, customers of KeyBank
            National Association.

      3)    Approve, limit or modify the data a user may access, or the type of
            transactions a user may originate.

      4)    Override the password of any of your organization's users including
            all other designated Systems Administrators. The bank recommends
            that your organization establish two different users to perform the
            functions of a Systems Administrator. In the event that the primary
            Systems Administrator is unavailable to perform required duties, a
            second user can serve in a back-up capacity. Your organization's
            Systems Administrator must do the resetting of passwords, and the
            bank shall have no liability resulting from its refusal to reset a
            user's password or a user's inability to access QuickTrade(R)/Web
            Internet Application. Each user authorized to access
            QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application will need a unique user ID
            and a password assigned by your company's Systems Administrator. We
            recommend that each user be advised to change his or her assigned
            passwords immediately during his or her first session and at least
            once every 30 days. Your company will be responsible for any sharing
            of passwords and must ensure that its users keep all of their
            passwords strictly confidential. Your Systems Administrator will
<PAGE>
            be solely responsible for deleting users who are no longer
            authorized to access QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application.

SYSTEMS SECURITY

QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application offers secure communication over the
Internet via 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. It is the
responsibility of your company to ensure that Your users access
QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application using browsers with the recommended
encryption levels. The QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application System does not
require customers to establish secondary authorization for originating
transactions, however, the bank recommends that your organization establish a
secondary authorization requirement for submitting applications, and that your
organization select such approval options on the system.

BACK-UP PROCEDURES

We recommend that all applications and related instructions be communicated to
us through QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application. If you are unable to access
QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application, please call the KeyBank's on-line
support area at (866) 904-6105. In the event that you are unable to submit
applications and related instructions through QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet
Application, then the application/amendment requests may be submitted to the
bank in accordance with the Master Letter of Credit Agreement and the bank's
procedures presented therein. Please note that these procedures may involve
means of communications that are less secure than QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet
Application. When submitting applications and instructions to us using a means
of communication other than QuickTrade(R)/Web Internet Application, your
organization agrees to be bound by any and all applications and instructions
that the bank receives in good faith through those means of communications.
