herewith and such additional note or notes as are hereafter provided, the Bank

be secured by the Collateral, Borrower's Records and other collateral as
hereinafter provided. In all events, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of

or $n/a, whichever is less of the cost or market value, whichever is lower, of
all Borrower's Inventory, plus SEVENTY percent (70%) of the unpaid face amount
of Borrower's Qualified Accounts, or such other percentages as may from time to
time be fixed by the Bank upon notice to the Borrower, the aggregate dollar

reduction of the unpaid principal amount of such loans in an amount equal to the
amount of such excess. All loans made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
evidenced by notes, in form satisfactory to the Bank, bearing interest at the
rate agreed upon from time to time by the parties hereto. 


4. BANK'S SECURITY INTEREST.
        As security for the payment of all loans now or in the future made under
this Agreement, and for payment of all expenses and obligations assumed by
Borrower hereunder, and for payment of all notes and other obligations and
indebtedness of Borrower to the Bank, now existing or hereafter incurred,
whether matured or unmatured, direct, indirect or contingent, including any
extensions or renewals thereof, Borrower hereby assigns and pledges to the Bank,
and grants to the Bank a security interest in (a) all Collateral, (b) all
Records, and (c) all indebtedness of Bank to Borrower, including (without
limitation) any moneys, credit. balances or deposits due from or standing on
deposit with Bank which belongs to or is in the name of or is subject to
withdrawal by Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising or deposited.
It is intended that the above assignment, pledge and security interest in the
Collateral, Records and other collateral secure each of the Borrower's existing
and future obligations and indebtedness to Bank of all types and nature,
including obligations and indebtedness unrelated or dissimilar to any
obligations or indebtedness in existence or contemplated at the time this
Agreement was executed, and irrespective of whether such obligations or
indebtedness was contemplated by Borrower at such time. 

5. RIGHTS AS TO COLLATERAL; COLLECTION AND VERIFICATION
        The Bank shall have the right to notify parties obligated on any or all
obligations constituting Collateral hereunder (all such obligors hereinafter
called "account debtors") to make payment directly to the Bank. The Bank may
take control of all proceeds arising from and constituting Collateral and may in
the Bank's, in Borrower's or in any other name contact account debtors to verify
the validity, amount, and any other matter respecting the Collateral. All of the
foregoing rights the Bank may exercise at any time and from time to time without
first giving notice to Borrower, whether or not the Borrower is then in default
hereunder.

        So long as Borrower is not in default hereunder, Borrower shall have the
right in the regular course of business to manufacture or process, sell or lease
Inventory, or furnish Inventory under contracts of service. Borrower shall not
return any Inventory to any suppliers without the prior written consent of the
Bank to do so.

      Borrower irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints the Bank
(and any agent, designated by the Bank) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney,
with power, without notice to Borrower and at such time or times hereafter as
the Bank may in its sole election determine whether or not any event of default
has occurred hereunder, in Borrower's name or in the Bank's name, and at
Borrower's expense:

         (a) to demand payment of any items of Collateral;

         (b) to enforce payment of the same by legal proceedings or otherwise;

         (c) to exercise all of Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to
collection;

         (d) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release
any of the Collateral;

         (e) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought with
respect to any of the Collateral;


<PAGE>


         (f) to sell or assign any of the Collateral upon such terms for such
amount and at such price or prices as the Bank deems advisable;

         (g) to prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any Proof of Claim in
Bankruptcy or similar document against an account debtor;

         (h) to prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any of the following
or similar documents: Notice of Lien, Claim of Mechanic's Lien, Assignment or
Satisfaction of Lien or Mechanic's Lien;

         (i) to endorse the name of the Borrower upon any of the items set forth
at subparagraph 6(a) or (g) of this Agreement or as provided in the remainder of
this paragraph;

         (j) to sign the name of the Borrower to any verification and notices
directed to account debtors. Until such time as the Bank elects to exercise its
rights to collect and enforce items of Collateral, Borrower is authorized, as
agent of the Bank, to collect and enforce the same. All costs of collection and
enforcement, including attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be
borne solely by Borrower whether the same are incurred by the Bank or Borrower.

         All credit memos issued by the Borrower's suppliers with respect to
goods included in Borrower's Inventory shall be delivered to the Bank, shall be
subject to this Agreement and, upon demand by the Bank, Borrower shall pay the
Bank (for application as the Bank elects in discharge of Borrower's indebtedness
to the Bank) amounts equaling the amounts of such credit memos.

         Should the Bank require Borrower to adopt such practice, Borrower shall
forthwith upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in
payment of, or in payment or on account of, and constituting, Collateral,
deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with the Bank, over which
the Bank alone shall have power of withdrawal. The funds in said account shall
be held by the Bank as security for all loans made hereunder and all other
indebtedness of Borrower to the Bank secured hereby. Said proceeds shall be
deposited in precisely the form received, except for the endorsement of Borrower
where necessary to permit collection of items, which endorsement Borrower agrees
to make, and which the Bank is also hereby authorized to make on Borrower's
behalf. If such deposits are required by the Bank, Borrower agrees that pending
deposit it will not commingle any such checks, drafts, cash and other
remittances with any of Borrower's funds or property, but will hold them
separate and apart therefrom and upon an express trust for the Bank until
deposit thereof is made in the special account. The Bank will periodically apply
the whole or any part of the collected funds on deposit in the special account
against the principal and/or interest of any loans made hereunder and/or on
Borrower's other indebtedness secured hereby, the order and method of such
application to be in the discretion of the Bank. Any portion of said funds on
deposit in the special account which the Bank elects not to so apply may be paid
over by the Bank to Borrower. 

6. OTHER AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF BORROWER.
         (a) Borrower agrees to deliver to the Bank, forthwith upon
receipt, appropriately endorsed to the order of the Bank, or otherwise endorsed
or assigned as the Bank may determine necessary to vest complete title and
possession in the Bank, all instruments and chattel paper and, upon the Bank's
request, all documents and invoices which pertain to or constitute Collateral or
Records and regardless of the form of such endorsement, or other form of
endorsement or assignment, Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest and notice of protest and all other notices with respect to
such items.

         (b) Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete Records
satisfactory to the Bank, and the Bank, by any of its employees, agents or
independent auditors, shall have the right, at the expense of Borrower, to call

the Bank, to inspect, audit, check and make extracts from the books, journals,
files, correspondence, computer printouts, and other data relating to the
Collateral and constituting Records, all without hindrance or delay.

         (c) If any of Borrower's accounts or other Collateral arise out of
contracts with the Federal Government or any department or agency thereof,
Borrower will immediately notify the Bank thereof and cooperate with the Bank in
taking whatever action is required in order to satisfy the Bank that all sums
due and to become due under such contracts are properly assigned to the Bank.

         (d) Borrower represents and warrants that no financing statement
covering all or any part of the Collateral or the Records is presently effective
and on file with any public office. On request of the Bank, Borrower agrees to
execute such financing statements as the Bank determines appropriate in order to
perfect and maintain the Bank's first and prior security interest hereunder. A
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any
financing statement executed in connection herewith shall be deemed sufficient
as a financing statement regardless of whether the original thereof has been
filed in the jurisdiction where the carbon, photographic or other reproduction
is filed. The Secured Party may execute financing statements on behalf or
instead of the Borrower to the extent authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code
of the state in which Bank's office identified above is located. If any part of
the Collateral is a motor vehicle(s), Borrower will execute and deliver
application(s) for and certificate(s) of title or such other form(s) as may be
necessary to cause the Bank to be shown as a lienholder on said application(s)
for and certificate(s) of title and any such other form(s). Borrower will pay
all costs of filing or recording required by the Bank. Borrower further
represents and warrants that no security interest or other lien or encumbrance
in favor of any person, or party, other than the Bank exists in the Collateral
or the Records as of the date hereof, and Borrower agrees that no such interest,
other lien or encumbrance will be given or perfected with respect to, or allowed
to attach to, any of the Collateral or the Records while this Agreement remains
in effect.

         (e) Borrower agrees to provide the Bank with such information and data
relating to the Collateral and the Records as may be requested by the Bank. At
the time of each borrowing hereunder, but in all events no less often than once
each MONTH while this Agreement remains in effect, Borrower will provide to the
Bank the following: (i) true and accurate copies of all invoices pertaining to
Borrower's accounts or a schedule by computer printout (or in such other form
which the Bank has approved in advance) identifying by account debtor each of
Borrower's accounts and showing both the face and the currently unpaid amount
thereof; (ii) an aging of all of Borrower's accounts at intervals of 30-days,
60-days, 90-days, and over-90-days as of the last day of the immediately
preceding calendar month; and (iii) Records satisfactory to the Bank listing and
describing as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month
Borrower's Inventory and stating as of the same date the lower of cost or market
value of the same. Each time the Borrower submits to the Bank information and

Bank a certificate in form acceptable to the 


<PAGE>

purpose, and stating as of the date the certificate is forwarded to the Bank
that: (1) the Bank has a perfected, first security interest in all of Borrower's
Inventory and accounts, including the Qualified Accounts, and in all other items
of Collateral and in Borrower's Records; (2) the accounts are evidenced by
invoices or by schedule which, together with an aging of accounts as herein
provided, have been delivered to the Bank concurrently with the delivery of the
certificate; and (3) the Borrower is not in default under this Agreement, any
loans made hereunder, or on any other liability to the Bank. Said certificate
shall also state as of the same date: (4) the lower of cost or market value of
Borrower's Inventory; (5) the unpaid face amount of all of Borrower's accounts,
of all of Borrower's accounts classified as unqualified. and of all of
Borrower's Qualified Accounts; and (6)the total of Borrower's Inventory at the
lower of cost or market value and of the unpaid face amount of Borrower's
Qualified Accounts.

         (f) The Borrower agrees to place on the Records such legends as shall
be necessary to disclose the Bank's security interest in the Collateral and the
Records and to make such revisions and additions to such legends as the Bank may
from time to time require.

         (g) Borrower will at all times keep the Inventory insured in an amount
equal to the full insurable value thereof with such companies and against such
risks as shall be satisfactory to the Bank with all loss payments thereunder
payable to the Bank. Borrower shall pay the cost of all such insurance and
deliver to the Bank certificates evidencing the same. Borrower hereby assigns to
the Bank all of Borrower's rights to receive the proceeds of such insurance,
directs any insurer to pay all proceeds directly to the Bank and authorizes the
Bank to endorse any draft or other Instrument issued in payment of such
proceeds. The Bank shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to procure
any or all such insurance at Borrower's expense if Borrower fails to do so.

         (h) Borrower's Inventory is presently valued for accounting purposes on
the basis of FIFO, LIFO, Other (Specify:) Said valuation method for accounting
purposes shall be followed for all purposes hereunder, and Borrower shall not
change such method without first obtaining the advance written consent of the
Bank.

         (i) Borrower agrees to pay promptly as due all taxes, levies,
assessments and governmental charges, of whatever nature, upon or relating to
Borrower or Borrower's business, or the ownership or use, sale, lease or other
disposition of any of Borrower's assets, or the income or gross receipts of
Borrower or said business. Borrower shall not permit to arise or remain in
effect, and shall promptly discharge, all liens, claims or encumbrances upon any
of Borrower's assets arising from any such tax, assessment, levy or charge. The
Bank, at Borrower's expense, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to pay such taxes, levies, assessments or charges, or to discharge such liens,
claims or encumbrances not paid or discharged by Borrower as provided by this
subsection.

         (j) All expenses incurred, and payments made, by the Bank and which are
to be paid by the Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed loans to the Borrower and shall beer interest so long as they remain
unpaid at the same rate applicable to Borrower's other loans from the Bank.

         (k) Borrower shall at all times comply with all Environmental
Regulations (as hereinafter defined) and shall not deposit, install or


<PAGE>


permit to be deposited or installed on or about any of the Collateral any
Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined), except for materials which are
commonly-used household products properly and lawfully handled and disposed of
by Borrower. As used herein, the term 'Environmental Regulations" shall refer to
all federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, codes, governmental
restrictions and requirements, ordinances and orders (whether now existent or
hereafter arising) pertaining to, or imposing liability or a standard of conduct
regarding, the environment, Hazardous Material, pollutants, petroleum products,
radioactive materials or contaminants, or any use, storage, holding, existence,
emission, discharge, generation, handling, abatement, removal, disposition or
transport thereof. The term "Hazardous Material" means any substance which is a
"hazardous substance", "pollutant" or "contaminant" as those terms are defined
in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980 ("CERCLA"), as amended from time to time, and regulations pursuant thereto,
any hazardous substance regulated or controlled under any Environmental
Regulations, or any other substance or material defined, designated, classified
or considered as hazardous, radioactive or toxic waste or material. Borrower
covenants to keep the Collateral free and clear of all unpaid charges, liens,
(including a statutory or equitable lien, or an administrative claim, in favor
of any governmental entity or agency or a bankruptcy trustee for reimbursement,
cleanup, response or remedial action costs, damages, penalties or fines in
connection with any Hazardous Material), and security interests (other than the
security interests granted herein). Bank may, in its sole discretion, advance
funds to satisfy any encumbrances against the Collateral, to maintain and
preserve the Collateral (which preservation, at Bank's election, may include
removing, conducting a remedial action or other response to the release of any
Hazardous Material or other contaminated materials). Any advances by Bank for
such purpose shall be secured by this Agreement, provided, however, the
foregoing shall not restrict or impair the Bank from seeking subrogation to the
environmental lien or claim rights of any governmental entity or agency or
bankruptcy trustee to the extent of such advancement. No liability shall arise
against Bank from any act, or the omission of any act, pertaining to the
collection or failure to collect any Collateral, and Borrower agrees that Bank
may elect to abandon its interest in any portion of any Collateral if Bank has
any reason to suspect that such Collateral may be contaminated with any
Hazardous Material. Borrower shall immediately deliver to Bank copies of any
notice or other communication received by Borrower alleging a violation of any
Environmental Regulations or that any facility is being operated without all
licenses or permits required for Hazardous Material or by Environmental
Regulations.

         Neither the Collateral nor any property previously or now or hereafter
occupied or owned by Borrower has ever been, or will be used by Borrower, or to
the best of Borrower's information and belief, by previous owners and/or
operators, to refine, produce, store, handle, transfer, process or transport any
Hazardous Material (other than in full compliance with all Environmental
Regulations and other applicable laws) or petroleum products stored in
underground storage tanks, or as a landfill, resource recovery facility or
system, solid waste processing facility, hazardous waste facility or abandoned
or uncontrolled hazardous waste site, as defined in any Environmental
Regulations.

without any notice to the Borrower of any kind whatsoever.

         To the full extent, if any, permitted by applicable law, Borrower
