THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between COAST
BUSINESS CREDIT(R), a division of Southern Pacific Thrift & Loan Association
("Coast"), a California corporation, with offices at 12121 Wilshire Boulevard,

(jointly and severally, the "Borrower"), whose chief executive office is located
at the above address ("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule to this Agreement (the
"Schedule") shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and
the same is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms
used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)

1.       LOANS.

         1.1 LOANS. Coast will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined by Coast in its reasonable judgment, up to the amounts (the "Credit
Limit") shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.

         1.2 INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear
interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to
the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last
day of the month. Interest may, in Coast's discretion, be charged to Borrower's
loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as
the other Loans. Regardless of the amount of Obligations that may be outstanding
from time to time, Borrower shall pay Coast minimum monthly interest during the
term of this Agreement with respect to the Receivable Loans in the amount set
forth on the Schedule (the "Minimum Monthly Interest").

         1.3 FEES. Borrower shall pay Coast the fee(s) shown on the Schedule,
which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Coast and are
not refundable.

2.       SECURITY INTEREST.

         2.1 SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of
the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Coast a security interest in
all of Borrower's interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, and wherever located: All Receivables, Inventory, Investment Property,
Equipment, and General Intangibles (excluding trademarks subject to that certain
Consent To Use Trademark Agreement of even date), including, without limitation,
all of Borrower's Deposit Accounts, and all money, and all property now or at
any time in the future in Coast's possession (including claims and credit
balances), and all proceeds of any of the foregoing (including proceeds of any
insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds, and claims against third parties), all
products of any of the foregoing, and all books and records related to any of
the foregoing (all of the foregoing, together with all other property in which
Coast may now or in the future be granted a lien or security interest, is
referred to herein, collectively, as the "Collateral").

3.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.

         In order to induce Coast to enter into this Agreement and to make
Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Coast as follows, and Borrower
covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that
Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:

         3.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Borrower, if a corporation, is
and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.



                                      -1-

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all
jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect
on Borrower. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and
validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or
certificate of incorporation, or Borrower's by-laws, or any law or any material
agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv)
do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or
obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon
Borrower or its property.

         3.2 NAME; TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of Borrower set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are all
prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names.
Borrower shall give Coast 30 days' prior written notice before changing its name
or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the
future comply, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.

         3.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set forth in
the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In addition,
Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations
set forth on the Schedule. Borrower will give Coast at least 30 days prior
written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its
chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.

         3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and will at
all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for
items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will
remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests,
encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Coast now has, and
will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security
interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and
Borrower will at all times defend Coast and the Collateral against all claims of
others. None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in
such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture unless a fixture
filing in favor of Coast shall exist with respect to such real property. Except
as contemplated in the following sentence, Borrower is not and will not become a
lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any
rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains,
impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to remove any
Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon
premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee,
beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever
requested by Coast, use its best efforts to cause such third party to execute
and deliver to Coast, in form acceptable to Coast, such waivers and
subordinations as Coast shall specify, so as to ensure that Coast's rights in
the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to the rights of any such
third party. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with
all the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or
in the future may be located, except in the event Distribution Centers are
closed or relocated, in which case Borrower shall give Coast thirty (30) days
prior written notice of the termination of the applicable lease.

         3.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in
good working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any
unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Coast in writing of any
material loss or damage to the Collateral.

         3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at
Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

         3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial
statements now or in the future delivered to Coast have been, and will be,
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in
the case of unaudited financial statements, for the absence of footnotes and
subject to normal year-end adjustments) and now and in the future will fairly
reflect the financial condition of Borrower, at the times and for the periods
therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to
Coast and the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition or business of Borrower. Borrower is now and will continue
to be solvent.

         3.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Borrower has
timely filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by
foreign, federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will
timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by
Borrower. Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided
that Borrower (i) in good faith contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes
by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted,
(ii) notifies Coast in writing of the commencement of, and any material
development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps
required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the
Collateral. As of the date hereof, Borrower is unaware of any material claims or
adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in
any material additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has
paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and
future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance
with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation
in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any
other event with respect to, any such plan which could result in any liability
of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
or its successors or any other governmental agency. Coast may in its reasonable
judgment require Borrower to utilize the services of an outside payroll service
providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by Borrower.
However, Borrower shall immediately provide Coast with any and all documentation
requested by Coast verifying the payment of all taxes, including payroll taxes.

         3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all
material respects, with all provisions of all material foreign, federal, state
and local laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not limited
to, those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the
conduct and licensing of Borrower's business, and environmental matters.

         3.10 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no
claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of
Borrower's knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any
court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to
Borrower) which may result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the financial condition or business of Borrower, or
in any material impairment in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business
in substantially the same manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will
promptly inform Coast in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or
investigation in the future threatened or instituted by or against Borrower not
covered by insurance and involving any single claim of $50,000 or more, or
involving $100,000 or more in the aggregate. Borrower shall provide to Coast,
concurrently with its 10Q and 10K filings, a schedule of all lawsuits that are
covered by insurance.

         3.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely
for lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any "margin
stock" (as defined in Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase
or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

4.  RECEIVABLES.

         4.1 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower represents and
warrants to Coast as follows: Each Account with respect to which Loans are
requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made,
represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the
Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the
rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.

         4.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE.
Borrower represents and warrants to Coast as follows: All statements made and
all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents
evidencing the Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices,
instruments and other documents and all of Borrower's books and records are and
shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and
other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account shall fully comply
with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations (except as any
non-compliance with any such laws, rules, or regulations is with respect to
non-payment of immaterial sales taxes and Borrower has used all reasonable
efforts and ability to comply). All signatures and endorsements by Borrower on
all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and
shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and
shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

         4.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall
deliver to Coast transaction reports and loan requests, schedules of
Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Coast's standard forms;
provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall
not affect or limit Coast's security interest and other rights in all of
Borrower's Receivables, nor shall Coast's failure to advance or lend against a
specific Receivable affect or limit Coast's security



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


interest and other rights therein. Loan requests received after 10:30 AM will
not be considered by Coast until the next Business Day. If requested by Coast,
Borrower shall furnish Coast with copies (or, at Coast's request, originals) of
all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all original
shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of
delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such
Receivables, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing.
Borrower shall also furnish to Coast an aged accounts receivable trial balance
in such form and at such intervals as Coast shall request. In addition, Borrower
shall deliver to Coast the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security
agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing
any Receivables, upon receipt thereof and in the same form as received, with all
necessary endorsements, all of which shall be with recourse.

         4.4 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall have the right to collect
all Receivables, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred. Borrower
shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables in trust for Coast, and
Borrower shall deliver all payments and proceeds from Accounts to Coast within
one Business Day after receipt by Borrower, in their original form, duly
endorsed to Coast, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Coast shall
determine. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Coast may, in
its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by Borrower
into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as Coast may specify,
pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Coast may specify. Coast
or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that Coast has been
granted a security interest in the Receivables.

         4.5. REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds arising from the disposition
of any Account shall be delivered to Coast within one Business Day after receipt
by Borrower, in their original form, duly endorsed to Coast, to be applied to
the Obligations in such order as Coast shall determine. Borrower agrees that it
will not commingle proceeds of the Accounts with any of Borrower's other funds
or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other
funds and property and in an express trust for Coast. Nothing in this Section
limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.

         4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Coast promptly of all material
disputes or claims relating to Accounts. Borrower shall not forgive (completely
or partially), compromise or settle any Accounts for less than payment in full,
or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided
that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner,
in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's length transactions, which are
reported to Coast on the regular reports provided to Coast; (ii) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) taking into account
all such discounts settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Loans will
not exceed the Credit Limit. Coast may, at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with Account
Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Coast considers advisable in its
reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Coast shall credit Borrower's Loan
account with only the net amounts received by Coast in payment of any
Receivables.

         4.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower other than
in the ordinary course of its business, Borrower shall promptly determine the
reason for such return and promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account
Debtor in the appropriate amount.

         4.8 VERIFICATION. Coast may, from time to time, verify directly with
the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating
to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of
Borrower or Coast or such other name as Coast may choose.

         4.9 NO LIABILITY. Coast shall not under any circumstances be
responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or
destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to
a Receivable, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in
the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any
Receivable, or for settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full
amount thereof, nor shall Coast be deemed to be responsible for any of
Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to a
Receivable. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Coast from liability for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         5.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times comply
with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

         5.2 INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible
personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with
insurers reasonably acceptable to Coast, in such form and amounts as Coast may
reasonably require, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Coast, so that Coast is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full
force and effect. All liability insurance policies of Borrower shall name Coast
as an additional insured, and all property casualty and related insurance
policies of Borrower shall name Coast as a loss payee thereon and Borrower shall
cause a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Coast.
Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance (other than proceeds in
respect of product liability claims and claims filed under policies in effect
prior to April 1997 and reimbursements in connection therewith), Coast shall
apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as Coast shall determine in
its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Coast shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds
with respect to Equipment totaling less than $200,000, which shall be utilized
by Borrower for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the
insurance proceeds were paid. Coast may require reasonable assurance that the
insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or
pay for any insurance, Coast may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at
Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Coast copies of all
reports made to insurance companies, except those reports that would be
considered privileged or relate to product liability claims and claims filed
under policies in effect prior to April 1997.

         5.3 REPORTS. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Coast with the
written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with
respect to Borrower (including budgets, sales projections, operating plans and
other financial documentation), as Coast shall from time to time reasonably
specify.

         5.4 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times, and
on one Business Day's notice, Coast, or its agents, shall have the right to
inspect, audit and copy Borrower's books and records (other than those books and
records that would be considered privileged relating to product liability
claims) and the Collateral (the "Audits"). Coast shall take reasonable steps to
keep confidential all confidential information obtained in any Audit, but Coast
shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors,
regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal
process. The Audits shall be conducted every 90 days at Borrower's expense and
the charge for the Audits shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher
amount as shall represent Coast's then current standard charge for the same),
plus reasonable out of pocket expenses. Borrower will not enter into any
agreement with any accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store
Borrower's books or records at any location other than Borrower's Address,
without first notifying Coast of the same and obtaining the written agreement
from such accounting firm, service bureau or other third party to give Coast the
same rights with respect to access to books and records and related rights as
Coast has under this Loan Agreement.

         5.5 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower shall not, without Coast's prior
written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, do any of the
following:

    (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity, except in a

the common stock and all other capital stock of the surviving corporation
immediately after such merger or consolidation, and (B) the Borrower is the

an aggregate of $100,000;

    (vii) except for coolers imported from Canada pursuant to a vendor's
arranged credit facility of up to $1,000,000, incur any debts, outside the
ordinary course of business, which would have a material, adverse effect on
Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations;

    (x) pay or declare any dividends on Borrower's stock (except for dividends
payable solely in stock of Borrower);

    (ix) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly,
any of Borrower's stock, except that Borrower may repurchase stock owned by
employees, directors and consultants of Borrower pursuant to terms of
employment, consulting or other stock restriction agreements at such time as any
such employee, director or consultant terminates his or her affiliation with the
Borrower, for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $100,000 in any fiscal
year;

    (x) make any change in Borrower's capital structure which would have a
material adverse effect on Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of the
Obligations; or

    (xi) dissolve or elect to dissolve.
Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only
permitted if no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such
transaction.

         5.6 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or proceeding
be instituted by or against Coast with respect to any Collateral or relating to
Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Coast, make available Borrower and
its officers, employees and agents and Borrower's books and records, to the
extent that Coast may deem them reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or
defend any such suit or proceeding.

         5.7 INDEMNITY. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Coast and hold Coast
harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands,
obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), of every nature, character and
description, which Coast may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any
of the Obligations, any actual or alleged failure to collect and pay over any
withholding or other tax relating to Borrower or its employees, any relationship
or agreement between Coast and Borrower, any actual or alleged failure of Coast
to comply with any writ of attachment or other legal process relating to
Borrower or any of its property, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever
occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Coast relating to Borrower or
the Obligations (except any such amounts sustained or incurred as the result of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Coast). Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth
in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for
all purposes continue in full force and effect.

         5.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Coast, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Coast, may deem
reasonably necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Coast's
perfected security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.   TERM.

         6.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the
maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"); provided that the
Maturity Date shall automatically be extended, and this Agreement shall
automatically and continuously renew, for successive additional terms of one
year each, unless one party gives written notice to the other, not less than one
hundred twenty days prior to the next Maturity Date, that such party elects to
terminate this Agreement effective on the next Maturity Date.

         6.2 EARLY TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after
written notice of termination is given to Coast; or (ii) by Coast at any time
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective
immediately. If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Coast under this
Section 6.2, Borrower shall pay to Coast a termination fee (the "Early
Termination Fee") in the amount shown on the Schedule. The Early Termination Fee
shall be due and payable on the effective date of termination and thereafter
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate applicable to the Receivable
Loans.

         6.3 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier
effective date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on
any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Coast or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Coast,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Coast cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Coast's then
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, all of Coast's security interests in all of the Collateral and all of
the terms and provisions of this

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


any one or more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending
credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b)
Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due,
payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments
allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (c) Take
possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for
that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Coast without judicial process to enter
onto any of Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take
possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the
premises or cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control
thereof, without charge for so long as Coast deems it reasonably necessary in
order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any
other agreement; provided, however, that should Coast seek to take possession of
any of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i)
any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute,
court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for
possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession
thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Coast retain possession of, and not
dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require
Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Coast
at places designated by Coast which are reasonably convenient to Coast and
Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Coast may deem
advisable; (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any
Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the
purpose of removal, Coast shall have the right to use Borrower's premises,
vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all other property without
charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its
condition at the time Coast obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale (Coast shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
times as Coast deems reasonable, or on Coast's premises, or elsewhere and the
Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition; further, Coast may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition and sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale);
(g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General Intangibles
comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably
authorizes Coast to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all collections,
receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail
addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any
item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Coast's sole discretion, to
grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of
Borrower's general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Coast; and (i) Demand

and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or referring

obligations incurred by Coast with respect to the foregoing shall be due from
the Borrower to Coast on demand. Coast may charge the same to Borrower's loan
account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is
applicable to the Receivable Loans. Without limiting any of Coast's rights and
remedies, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest
rate applicable to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional three
percent per annum.

         7.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower and
Coast agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any
Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be
deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to
Borrower at least seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public
sale, notice of the sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be
conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the collateral in general,
non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a place designated by Coast,
with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) The sale commences at any
time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; (v) Payment of the purchase price in cash
or by cashier's check or wire transfer is required; (vi) With respect to any
sale of any of the Collateral, Coast may (but is not obligated to) direct any
prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all
information concerning the same. Coast shall be free to employ other methods of
noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if they are commercially
reasonable.

         7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance,
of any Event of Default, without limiting Coast's other rights and remedies,
Borrower grants to Coast an irrevocable power of



                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Coast (acting
through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option,
but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower's
expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower's name or otherwise, but
Coast agrees to exercise the following powers in a commercially reasonable
manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Coast may, in its
sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Coast's
security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower
or Coast, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements; (b) Execute
on behalf of Borrower any document exercising, transferring or assigning any
option to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of or to lease (as lessor or
lessee) any real or personal property which is part of Coast's Collateral or in
which Coast has an interest; (c) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices
relating to any Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice
to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien,
claim of mechanic's, materialman's or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction
of mechanic's, materialman's or other lien; (d) Take control in any manner of
any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the
name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or
Collateral that may come into Coast's possession; (e) Endorse all checks and
other forms of remittances received by Coast; (f) Pay, contest or settle any
lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of
the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to
terminate or discharge the same; (g) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise
claims and settle Receivables and General Intangibles for less than face value
and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay
any sums required on account of Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any
liens therefor, or both; (i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any
insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment
therefor; (j) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or
records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give Coast the same rights of
access and other rights with respect thereto as Coast has under this Agreement;
and (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement and any other present or future agreements. Any and all reasonable
sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations
and attorneys' fees incurred by Coast with respect to the foregoing shall be
added to and become part of the Obligations, and shall be payable on demand.
Coast may charge the foregoing to Borrower's loan account and the foregoing
shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate applicable to the Receivable
Loans. In no event shall Coast's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or
any of Coast's other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that
Coast is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.

         7.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any
sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Coast first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Coast in the
exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any
of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order
as Coast shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to
Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable
to Coast for any deficiency. If, Coast, in its sole discretion, directly or
indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any
purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Coast shall have the option, exercisable at
any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the
principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations
until the actual receipt by Coast of the cash therefor.

         7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set
forth in this Agreement, Coast shall have all the other rights and remedies
accorded a secured party under the Code and under all other applicable laws, and
under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into
between Coast and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative
and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Coast of one or more of
its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Coast from
subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The
failure or delay of Coast to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate
as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

         9.1 INTEREST COMPUTATION. In computing interest on the Obligations, all
checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Coast (including
proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed
applied by Coast on account of the Obligations three Business Days after receipt
by Coast of immediately available funds, and, for purposes of the foregoing, any
such funds received after 10:30 AM on any day shall be deemed received on the
next Business Day. Coast shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower's
account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Coast
in its sole discretion, and Coast may charge Borrower's loan account for the
amount of any item of payment which is returned to Coast unpaid.

         9.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments with respect to the
Obligations may be applied, and in Coast's good faith discretion reversed and
re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Coast shall
determine in its good faith discretion.

         9.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Coast may, in its discretion, require that
Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Coast, or charge them to Borrower's
Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate applicable
to the Loans. Coast may also, in its discretion, charge any monetary Obligations
to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Coast.

         9.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Coast shall provide Borrower monthly with an
account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on

notifies Coast in writing to the contrary within forty-five days after each
account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.

         9.6 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall
not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force
and effect.

         9.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements,
documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the
final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Coast and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and
agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are
no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which
are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the
parties in connection herewith.

         9.8 WAIVERS. The failure of Coast at any time or times to require
Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
other present or future agreement between Borrower and Coast shall not waive or
diminish any right of Coast later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other
default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Coast shall be deemed to have been waived
by any act or knowledge of Coast or its agents or employees, but only by a
specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Coast and delivered
to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account,
General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Coast on which
Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by
Coast, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

         9.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Coast, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Coast shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower
or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Coast, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Coast, but nothing herein shall relieve Coast from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         9.10 AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be
waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly
authorized officer of Coast.

         9.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

         9.12 ATTORNEYS FEES, COSTS AND CHARGES. Borrower shall reimburse Coast
for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title
insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Coast,
pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or
not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs Coast incurs in order to do the following: prepare and
negotiate this Agreement and the documents relating to this Agreement; obtain
legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to
enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by,
Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding;
initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file

Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable

appropriate press releases and to cause a tombstone to be published announcing
the consummation of this transaction and the aggregate amount thereof.

         9.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any
claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

         9.16 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower
against Coast, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or
attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any
other present or future document or agreement, or any other transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other
matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be
done by Coast, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or
attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an
action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a
complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which
such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of
a summons and complaint on an officer of Coast, or on any other person
authorized to accept service on behalf of Coast, within thirty (30) days
thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and
sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause
of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or
extended except by the written consent of Coast in its sole discretion. This
provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other present
or future agreement.

in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Coast acknowledge that the
headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable
paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit,
define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term
"including", whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including (but not
limited to)". This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the
parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against Coast or Borrower under any rule
of construction or otherwise.

         9.18 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE. This Agreement and all acts
and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Coast and Borrower
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. As a material part of
the consideration to Coast to enter into this Agreement, Borrower (i) agrees
that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this
Agreement shall, at Coast's option, be litigated in courts located within
California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Los Angeles County;
(ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to
service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any
other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Borrower may
have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change
the venue of any such action or proceeding.
