                                     THE RLC

         2.1      Commitment. Subject to the conditions herein set forth, Lender
agrees to make the RLC available to or for the benefit of Borrower, and Borrower
agrees to draw upon the RLC, in the manner and upon the terms and conditions
herein expressed, amounts that shall not exceed the Borrowing Base.

         2.2      Revolving Line of Credit.

                  (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
         Credit Agreement, the RLC shall be a revolving line of credit, against
         which RLC Advances may be made to Borrower, repaid by Borrower and new
         RLC Advances made to Borrower, as Borrower may request, provided that
         (i) no RLC Advance shall be made if an Event of Default shall be
         continuing, (ii) no RLC Advance shall be made that would cause the
         outstanding principal balance of the RLC to exceed the lesser of the
         RLC Commitment or the Borrowing Base, and (iii) no RLC Advance shall be
         made on or after the RLC Maturity Date.

                  (b)      The RLC shall be evidenced by the Note.

         2.3      RLC Payments. The RLC shall bear interest and be payable to
Lender upon the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)      Interest shall accrue:

                           (i)      On the unpaid principal of an RLC Advance at
                  the Variable Rate except to the extent that an RLC Advance
                  bears interest at the LIBOR Based Rate.

                           (ii)     On the unpaid principal of an RLC Advance at
                  the LIBOR Based Rate to the extent Borrower shall elect and to
                  the extent not otherwise provided herein.

                  (b)      All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
         360-day year and accrue on a daily basis for the actual number of days
         elapsed. All accrued and unpaid interest through the end of the
         preceding month shall be due and payable on each Payment Date.

                  (c)      The entire unpaid principal balance, all accrued and
         unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the Note shall be
         due and payable in full on the RLC Maturity Date.

                  (d)      Each request for an RLC Advance shall be
         substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" from an
         Authorized Officer and shall, in

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   15
         addition to complying with the other requirements in this Agreement,
         (i) specify the date and amount of the requested RLC Advance, (ii)
         specify whether the RLC Advance shall be an RLC Advance that bears
         interest at the Variable Rate or shall be an RLC Advance that bears
         interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, (iii) if the RLC Advance is to bear
         interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, be in a minimum amount of $250,000.00
         with integral multiples of $50,000.00 in excess thereof, and (iv) if
         the RLC Advance is to bear interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, (A)
         specify the LIBOR Interest Period, and (B) be delivered to Lender
         before 9:00 a.m. (Phoenix, Arizona local time) at least three (3)
         Banking Days prior to the date of the requested RLC Advance. Any
         request for an RLC Advance not complying with the foregoing
         requirements for an RLC Advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Based
         Rate shall bear interest at the Variable Rate; provided that in the
         event such non-compliance is due to Borrower's failure to specify the
         required information, Lender agrees to notify Borrower of such failure
         and to provide Borrower the opportunity to provide such information
         prior to directing that the RLC Advance bear interest at the Variable
         Rate.

                  (e)      If Borrower desires that a LIBOR Rate Advance
         continue to bear interest at the LIBOR Based Rate after the end of an
         existing LIBOR Interest Period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender not
         later than 9:00 a.m. (Phoenix, Arizona local time) at least three (3)
         Banking Days prior to the end of the existing LIBOR Interest Period; a
         notice making such election and specifying the new LIBOR Interest
         Period. If Borrower does not deliver such notice within such time, then
         after the existing LIBOR Interest Period the LIBOR Rate Advance shall
         become a Variable Rate Advance and shall bear interest at the Variable
         Rate.

                  (f)      Borrower may upon written notice to and received by
         Lender not later than 9:00 a.m. (Phoenix, Arizona local time) (i) on
         the third Banking Day, in the case of any conversion of a Variable Rate
         Advance into a LIBOR Rate Advance and (ii) on the first Banking Day in
         the case of any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Variable Rate
         Advance, prior to the date of the proposed conversion, convert any RLC
         Advance of one type into an RLC Advance of the other type; provided,
         however, that any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance (A) shall only be
         made on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period except as
         otherwise provided herein, and (B) shall be made only as to an RLC
         Advance in a minimum amount of $250,000.00 with integral multiples of
         $50,000.00 in excess thereof. Each such notice of a conversion shall
         specify the date of such conversion and the RLC Advance(s) to be
         converted.

                  (g)      Each request for an RLC Advance as well as each
         election by the Borrower that an LIBOR Rate Advance continue to bear
         interest at the LIBOR Based Rate after the end of an existing LIBOR
         Interest Period and each conversion request shall be irrevocable and
         binding on Borrower once the request is received by Lender. Borrower
         shall indemnify Lender against any cost, loss or expense incurred by
         Lender as a result of Borrower's failure to fulfill, on or before the
         date specified for an RLC Advance in any request for an RLC Advance,
         the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   16
         conditions to such RLC Advance set forth herein, including any cost,
         loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
         of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund such RLC Advance
         when such RLC Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on the
         date so specified.

                  (h)      [Intentionally Deleted.]

                  (i)      If any payment of interest and/or principal is not
         received by Lender within ten (10) days of when such payment is due,
         then in addition to the remedies conferred upon Lender under the Loan
         Documents, a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the
         installment due and unpaid will be added to the delinquent amount to
         compensate Lender for the expense of handling the delinquency,
         regardless of any notice and cure period.

                  (j)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
         maturity, including maturity upon acceleration, the unpaid principal
         balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable
         hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

         2.4      Excess Balance Payment. There shall be due and payable from
Borrower to Lender, and Borrower shall repay to Lender, within five (5) days of
written demand from Lender, from time to time, any amount by which the
outstanding principal balance of the RLC exceeds the Borrowing Base.

         2.5      Conditions. Lender shall have no obligation to make any RLC
Advance unless and until all of the conditions and requirements of this Credit
Agreement are fully satisfied. However, Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion may elect to make one or more RLC Advances prior to full satisfaction
of one or more such conditions and/or requirements. Notwithstanding that such an
RLC Advance or RLC Advances are made, such unsatisfied conditions and/or
requirements shall not be waived or released thereby. Borrower shall be and
continue to be obligated to fully satisfy such conditions and requirements, and
Lender, at any time, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, may stop making
RLC Advances until all conditions and requirements are fully satisfied.

         2.6      Other RLC Advances by Lender. Lender, after giving fifteen
(15) days prior written notice to Borrower to allow for corrective action, from
time to time, may make RLC Advances in any amount in payment of (i) insurance
premiums, taxes, assessments, liens or encumbrances existing against property
encumbered by the Security Documents, (ii) interest accrued and payable upon the
RLC, (iii) any charges and expenses that are the obligation of Borrower under
this Credit Agreement or any Security Document, and (iv) any charges or matters
necessary to preserve the property encumbered by the Security Documents or to
cure any still existing Event of Default.

         2.7      Assignment. Borrower shall have no right to the proceeds of
the Loan other than to have the same disbursed by Lender in accordance with the
disbursement provisions contained in this Credit Agreement. Any assignment or
transfer, voluntary or involuntary, of this Credit

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   17

                    PAYMENTS, FEES AND EURODOLLAR PROVISIONS

                  (a)      All payments and prepayments by the Borrower of
         principal of and interest on the Note and all fees, expenses and any
         other Obligation payable to Lender in connection with the Loan shall be
         nonrefundable and made in Dollars or immediately available funds to

         to have been received by Lender on the next Banking Day.

                  (b)      Unless otherwise required by applicable law, payments
         will be applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to principal,
         and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs, late charges
         and other charges; provided, however, upon delinquency or other
         default, Lender reserve the right to apply payments among principal,
         interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges at its
         discretion.

                  (c)      [Intentionally Deleted.]

                  (d)      Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be
         stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment
         shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of
         time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest,
         commission or fee, as the case may be.

                  (e)      Borrower authorizes Lender to collect all interest,
         fees, costs, and/or expenses due under this Agreement by charging
         Borrower's demand deposit account maintained by Borrower with Lender as
         designated on the Automatic Debit Authorization of even date herewith
         executed by Borrower, for the full amount thereof. Should there be
         insufficient funds in any such demand deposit account to pay all such
         sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately
         due and payable by Borrower.

         3.2      [Intentionally Deleted.]

         3.3      Maintenance of Accounts. Lender shall maintain, in accordance

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   18
payable and paid from time to time hereunder. In any legal action or proceeding
in respect of this Agreement, the entries made in the ordinary course of
business in such account or accounts shall be evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded. The failure to
record any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder to repay all amounts owed hereunder,
together with all interest accrued thereon as provided in the Note.

         3.4      Special Provisions for LIBOR Rate Advances.

                  (a)      Funding: Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit
         Documents to the contrary, Lender shall be entitled to fund and
         maintain its funding of all or any part of any Advance in any manner it
         sees fit; provided, however, that for the purposes of the Note, all
         determinations thereunder shall be made as if Lender had actually
         funded and maintained each Advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Based
         Rate during the LIBOR Interest Period therefor through the purchase of
         deposits having a maturity corresponding to the last day of the LIBOR
         Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Based
         Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period.

                  (b)      Inadequacy of Eurodollar Pricing: If, due to any
         Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of
         agreeing to make or making, funding, or maintaining Advances bearing
         interest at the LIBOR Based Rate (including, without limitation, any
         increase in any applicable reserve requirement), then the Borrower
         shall from time to time, upon written demand by Lender, pay to Lender
         such amounts as Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to
         compensate Lender for any additional costs that Lender reasonably
         determines are attributable to such Regulatory Change. Lender will
         notify the Borrower in writing of any Regulatory Change that will
         entitle Lender to compensation, detailing such compensation, pursuant
         to this paragraph as promptly as practicable, but in any event within
         ninety (90) days after Lender obtains knowledge thereof; provided,
         however, that if Lender fails to give such notice within ninety (90)
         days after it obtains knowledge of such a Regulatory Change, Lender
         shall, with respect to compensation payable in respect of any costs
         resulting from such Regulatory Change, only be entitled to payment for
         costs incurred from and after the date that Lender does give such
         notice. Lender will furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth
         in reasonable detail the basis for the amount of each request by Lender
         for compensation under this paragraph. Determinations by Lender of the
         amounts required to compensate Lender shall be conclusive, absent
         manifest error. Lender shall be entitled to compensation in connection
         with any Regulatory Change only for costs actually incurred by Lender.

                  (c)      Illegality: Notwithstanding any provision of the
         Credit Documents, if Lender shall notify the Borrower that as a result
         of a Regulatory Change it is unlawful for Lender to make Advances at
         the LIBOR Based Rate, or to fund or maintain Advances bearing interest
         at the LIBOR Based Rate, (i) the obligations

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   19
         of Lender to make Advances at the LIBOR Based Rate and to convert
         Variable Rate Advances to the LIBOR Based Rate shall be suspended until
         Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such
         suspension no longer exist, and (ii) in the event such Regulatory
         Change makes the maintenance of Advances at the LIBOR Based Rate
         unlawful, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Advances
         bearing interest at the LIBOR Based Rate then outstanding, together
         with interest accrued thereon and all amounts in connection with such
         prepayment specified herein, unless the Borrower, within five (5)
         Banking Days of written notice from Lender, converts all Advances
         bearing interest at the LIBOR Based Rate then outstanding into Advances
         bearing interest at the Variable Rate pursuant to the conversion
         procedures herein and pays all amounts in connection with such
         prepayments or conversions specified herein.

                  (d)      Market Disruption: Notwithstanding any other
         provision of the Credit Documents, if prior to the commencement of any
         LIBOR Interest Period, Lender shall determine (i) that United States
         dollar deposits in the amount of any Advance bearing interest at the
         LIBOR Based Rate to be outstanding during such LIBOR Interest Period
         are not readily available to Lender in the London interbank market, or
         (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market,
         adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
         Based Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period in the manner prescribed in
         the definition of "LIBOR Based Rate," then Lender shall promptly give
         written notice thereof to the Borrower and the obligation of Lender to
         create, continue, or effect by conversion any Advance bearing interest
         at the LIBOR Based Rate in such amount and for such LIBOR Interest
         Period shall terminate until United States dollar deposits in such
         amount and for the LIBOR Interest Period shall again be readily
         available in the London interbank market and adequate and reasonable
         means exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Based Rate.

         3.5      Prepayments.

                  (a)      Borrower may, upon at least two (2) Banking Days'
         notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances and one (1) Banking Day's
         notice in the case of Variable Rate Advances to Lender stating the
         proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if
         such notice is given Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal
         balance of the Loans in whole or in part at any time prior to the
         Maturity Date as stated in such notice by Borrower, subject to payment
         of all amounts specified hereinbelow with respect to any LIBOR Rate
         Advance.

                  (b)      If for any reason (including voluntary prepayment,
         voluntary conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Variable Rate
         Advance, or prepayment due to acceleration, but excluding any mandatory
         prepayment or mandatory conversion such as pursuant to Section 3.4(c)),
         Lender receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate
         Advance prior to the last Banking Day of the LIBOR Interest Period for
         such Advance, the Borrower shall

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   20
         immediately on demand by Lender, pay the "LIBOR Breakage Fees," defined
         as the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would
         have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received
         until the last day of such LIBOR Interest Period exceeds (ii) the
         interest which would have been recoverable by Lender (without regard to
         whether Lender actually so invest said funds) by placing the amount so
         received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the
         offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury
         investment products, as the case may be for a period starting on the
         date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such
         LIBOR Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Lender in its
         reasonable discretion. Lender's determination as to such amount shall
         be conclusive and final, absent manifest error.

                  (c)      The Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand, such
         other amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate it for any
         loss, costs or expense ("LIBOR Prepayment Charges") actually incurred
         by it as a result of any prepayment by the Borrower (including
         voluntary prepayment, voluntary conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance into
         a Variable Rate Advance, or prepayment due to acceleration, but
         excluding any mandatory prepayment or mandatory conversion such as
         pursuant to Section 3.4(c)) of all or part of the principal amount of a
         LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last Banking Day of the LIBOR Interest
         Period for such Advance (including without limitation, any failure by
         the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Rate Advance on the loan date for such
         borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder).
         Such LIBOR Prepayment Charges shall include, without limitation, any
         interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by them
         in order to make or maintain their loans based on the London interbank
         Eurodollar market. Lender's determination as to such LIBOR Prepayment
         Charges shall be conclusive and final, absent manifest error.

                  (d)      Lender agrees that it shall make a best effort to
         minimize any such LIBOR Breakage Fees or any such LIBOR Prepayment
         Charges.

as Lender has any commitment to lend hereunder and until the Loans have been
paid in full and all of Borrower's obligations under this Credit Agreement, the
Note and all Security Documents have been fully discharged. Any investigation at
any time made by or on behalf of Lender shall not diminish Lender's right to
rely on the representations and warranties herein.

         continues for five (5) Banking Days after written notice thereof to
         Borrower.

                  (b) Any failure or neglect to perform or observe any of the
         covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of Borrower contained
         herein, or in any of the other Credit Documents (other than a failure
         or neglect described in one or more of the other provisions of this

         if it can be remedied, it continues unremedied for a period of thirty

         or observed under any agreement or instrument relating to such

         Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be
         prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled

         liability of the Borrower or the Controlled Group to the PBGC or the

                  Note to the contrary notwithstanding,

                           (iii Reduce any claim to judgment, and/or

                  applicable law or agreement; provided, however, that if any
                  Event of Default specified in Sections 9.1(g) and 9.1(h) shall
                  occur, the principal of, and all interest on, the Note and

                  expressly waives.

         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, with five (5)
days written notice to Borrower, to setoff and apply any and all moneys,
securities or other property of Borrower and the proceeds therefrom, now or
hereafter held or received by or in transit to Lender or its agents, from or for
the account of Borrower, whether for safe keeping, custody, pledge,
transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits
(general or special) and credits of Borrower, and any and all claims of Borrower
against Lender at any time existing. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower
in writing prior to and after any such setoff and application, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application. The rights of Lender under this Section 9.2 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
setoff) which Lender may have.

         9.3 Performance by Lender. Should Borrower fail to perform any
covenant, duty or agreement with respect to the payment of taxes, obtaining
licenses or permits, or any other requirement contained herein or in any of the
Credit Documents within the period provided herein, if any, for correction of
such failure, Lender may, with fifteen (15) days prior written notice, at its
option, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf
of Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly
pay any amount expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance
to Lender at its office in Inglewood, California, together with interest thereon
at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure until paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender does not
assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of
Borrower hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents or other control over
the management and affairs of Borrower.

of any provision of any Credit Document, or consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom, shall be effective only if the same shall be in writing and accepted
by Lender.

         10.2 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the
part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder and
under the Credit Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by
law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the
Note or any Credit Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be
effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond
the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case
shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar
or other instances without such notice or demand.

however, that notwithstanding the aforesaid, with respect to any legal action
between the parties hereto that is pursued to judgment the prevailing party only

without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection
with the preservation and enforcement of its rights under this Credit Agreement,
the Note and/or other Credit Documents. In addition, Borrower shall pay all
costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation,

         parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or any of the
         Credit Documents, which is not settled in writing within ten days after
         the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which a party gives written
         notice to all other parties that a controversy, dispute or claim
         exists), will be settled by a reference proceeding in Los Angeles,
         California, in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of
         the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor section
         ("CCP"), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement
         of any Claim, including whether such Claim is subject to the reference
         proceeding and the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal
         proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than
         the Superior Court of Los Angeles (the "Court"). The referee shall be a
         retired Judge selected by mutual agreement of the parties, and if they
         cannot so agree with in thirty days (30) after the Claim Date, the
         referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court. The
         referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, as authorized
         by law. The referee shall (a) be requested to set the matter for
         hearing within sixty (60) days after the Claim Date and (b) try any and
         all issues of law or fact and report a statement of decision upon them,
         if possible, within ninety (90) days of the Claim Date. Any decision
         rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive and
         judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP 644 in the Court. All
         discovery permitted by this Agreement shall be completed no later than
         fifteen (15) days before the first hearing date established by the
         referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party's
         refusal to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever,
         including, without limitation, legal objections raised to such
         discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No
         party shall be entitled to "priority" in conducing discovery.
         Depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written
         notice, and, request for production of inspection of documents shall be
         responded to within ten (10) days after service. All disputes relating
         to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted
         to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the
         parties.

                  (b The referee shall be required to determine all issues in
         accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State
         of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law
         in the State of California will be applicable to the reference
         proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well
         as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies
         and to enter equitable orders that will be binding upon the parties.
         The referee shall issue a single judgment at the close of the reference
         proceeding which shall dispose of all of the claims of the parties that
         are the subject to the reference. The parties hereto expressly reserve
         the right to contest or appeal from

                                      -33-
<PAGE>   39
         the final judgment or any appealable order or appealable judgment
         entered by the referee. The parties expressly reserve the right to
         findings of fact, conclusions of law, a written statement of decision,
         and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which
         new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this
         provision.

                  (c No provision of Paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 10.6,
         however, shall limit the right of Lender to bring action for possession
         of any Collateral in any jurisdiction, wherever located, in accordance
         with the provisions of the Security Documents.

         10.7 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Credit Document is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws during
the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; such
Credit Document shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of such Credit Document; and
the remaining provisions of such Credit Document shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision or by its severance from such Credit Document. Furthermore, in lieu of
each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added as
part of such Credit Document a provision mutually agreeable to Borrower and
Lender as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

         10.8 Binding Effect. The Credit Documents shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors,
assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that Borrower may not,
without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties
or obligations thereunder.

         10.9 Entirety. The Credit Documents embody the entire agreement between
the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any,
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

         10.10 Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only
and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.

         10.11 Survival of Representations, Etc. All representations and
warranties by Borrower herein shall survive the making of any Loan and the
execution and delivery of any Note; any investigation at any time made by or on
behalf of Lender shall not diminish Lender's right to rely on the
representations and warranties herein.

         10.12 No Third Party Beneficiary. The parties do not intend the
benefits of this Credit Agreement to inure to any third party, nor shall this
Credit Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any
materialman, supplier, contractor, subcontractor, purchaser or lessee of any
property owned by Borrower, or for debts or claims accruing to any such persons
against Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Note, or
in any other Credit Document, or any conduct or course of conduct by any or all
of the parties hereto, before or after signing this Credit Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents, neither this Credit

                                      -34-

Agreement nor any other Credit Document shall be construed as creating any
right, claim or cause of action against Lender, or any of its officers,
directors, agents or employees, in favor of any materialman, supplier,
contractor, subcontractor, purchaser or lessee of any property owned by
Borrower, nor to any other person or entity other than Borrower.

         10.13 Time. Time is of the essence hereof.

         10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. All schedules and exhibits
attached hereto, if any, are hereby incorporated into this Credit Agreement by

all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Credit Agreement

                             SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

TO:      IMPERIAL BANK

         The undersigned ("We") are interested in the financial success of
INTERACT COMMERCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), and
agree that financial accommodations from IMPERIAL BANK ("Bank" or "You") to
Borrower pursuant to that Credit Agreement dated as of April 27, 2000 (the
"Credit Agreement") are necessary, and we accordingly request that you grant to
or renew for Borrower such financial accommodation as you may deem proper, and
for the purpose of inducing you to grant, renew or extend such financial
accommodation, we hereby severally agree as follows:

         All claims of each of the undersigned against Borrower now or hereafter
existing, whether matured or not (subject to the maximum if specified below),
are and shall be at all times subordinate and subject to any and all claims on
your part against Borrower now or hereafter existing, whether matured or not, so
long as any such claim on your part against Borrower shall remain unpaid, in
whole or in part, and each of the undersigned agrees not to sue upon, or to
collect, or to receive payment upon, by setoff or in any other manner, any claim
or claims on his/hers or its part against Borrower now or hereafter existing,
nor to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or give a security interest in the same
(except subject expressly to this Agreement), nor to enforce or apply any
security now or hereafter existing, nor to join in any petition in bankruptcy or
any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any creditors agreement, nor to
take any lien or security on any of Borrower's property, real or personal, nor
to incur any obligation to nor receive any loans, advances or gifts from
Borrower, so long as any such claim on your part against Borrower shall exist or
so long as you are committed or otherwise obligated to make any loans to, or
grant any credit to, Borrower. In addition, so long as any claim on your part
against Borrower shall remain unpaid, in whole or in part, Bank shall have a
prior security interest in the assets of Borrower consisting of Collateral (as
defined in the Credit Agreement), now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower
and each of the undersigned hereby subordinates any security interest, including
without limitation any purchase money security interest, which each of the
undersigned now has or hereafter acquires in the Collateral to all security
interests which Bank now has or hereafter acquires in the Collateral.

         All claims on your part against Borrower now or hereafter existing
shall be first paid by Borrower before any payment shall be made by Borrower to
any of the undersigned unless Borrower is in full compliance with all Financial
Covenants (as defined in the Credit Agreement) contained in the Credit
Agreement, prior to and after giving effect to such payment. Said priority of
payment shall apply during the ordinary course of Borrower's business and in
case of any

assignment by Borrower for the benefit of Borrower's creditors, and in case of
any bankruptcy proceedings instituted by or against Borrower, and in case of the
appointment of any receiver for Borrower or Borrower's business or assets, and
in case of any dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of Borrower, or of
Borrower's business, and in all such cases respectively, the officers of
Borrower and any assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, and other person or
persons in charge, are hereby directed to pay to you the full amount of your
claims against Borrower before making any payment to any of the undersigned, and
so far as may be necessary for that purpose, each of the undersigned hereby
transfers and assigns to you all of his/her or its rights to any payment or
distribution which might otherwise be coming to him/her or it. You are hereby
irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of each of the
undersigned to file any and all proofs of claim and any other documents and to
take all other action, either in your name, or in the name of the undersigned,
or any of them, which in your opinion is necessary or desirable to enable you to
obtain all such payments.

         Each of the undersigned agrees that if part or all of any claim of the
undersigned shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, the
undersigned shall cause to be placed thereon a legend stating that the payment
thereof is subordinate to the payment of all claims on your part against
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Subordination Agreement, and each of the
undersigned agrees to mark all books of account in such manner to indicate that
payment thereof is subordinated pursuant to the terms of this Subordination
Agreement.

         Each of the undersigned further agrees that in case he, she or it
should take or receive any security interest in, or lien by way of attachment,
execution, or otherwise on any of the property, real or personal, of Borrower,
or should take or join in any other measure or advantage contrary to this
Agreement, while any claim exists on your part against Borrower, you shall be
entitled to have the same vacated, dissolved and set aside by such proceedings
at law, or otherwise, as you may deem proper, and this Agreement shall be and
constitute full and sufficient ground therefor and shall entitle you to be and
become a party to any proceedings at law, or otherwise, initiated by you or by
any other party, in or by which you may deem it proper to protect your interest
hereunder, and the party so violating this Agreement shall be liable to you for
all loss and damage sustained by you by reason of such breach, including
attorney's fees in any such legal action.

         If the undersigned, or any of them, shall receive any payment or
property in violation of this Agreement, such payment of property shall be
received by such undersigned in trust for you and forthwith will be delivered
and transferred to you.

         No subordination of obligations of Borrower to the undersigned have
previously been executed by the undersigned for the benefit of anyone else, and
any such subordinations hereafter executed will be, and shall be expressed to be
subject and subordinate to the effect hereof. This Agreement shall be continuing
in effect, it shall not be cancelled or otherwise rendered ineffective by the
payment or discharge at any time of all of Borrower's obligations to you, and it
shall apply to any and all financial accommodations subsequently granted,
renewed or extended by you for Borrower, unless the undersigned shall deliver to
you a written notice of revocation as to future transactions, at a time when
Borrower is no longer obligated to you in any

Debtor or incur any attorneys' fees or other expenses so long as Lender shall
commence to remedy the default within that 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecute the remedy to completion.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 27th day of
April, 2000, by INTERACT COMMERCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter called "Debtor"), whose chief executive office is located at 8800
North Gainey Center Drive, Suite 200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258, in favor of
IMPERIAL BANK, a California banking corporation, and its successors and assigns
(hereinafter called "Secured Party"), whose address is 400 East Van Buren, Suite
900, Phoenix, Arizona 85004.

1.       SECURITY INTEREST

         Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest (hereinafter
called the "Security Interest") in all of Debtor's right, title and interest in
and to the personal property described on Schedule "A" attached hereto (the
"Collateral").

2.       OBLIGATION SECURED

         The Security Interest shall secure, in such order of priority as
Secured Party may elect:

                  (a) Payment of the sum of $4,000,000.00 according to the terms
         of that Revolving Promissory Note of even date herewith, made by
         Debtor, payable to the order of Secured Party, evidencing a revolving
         line of credit, all or any part of which may be advanced to Debtor,
         repaid by Debtor and readvanced to Debtor, from time to time, subject
         to the terms and conditions thereof, with interest thereon, extension
         and other fees, late charges and attorneys' fees, according to the
         terms thereof, and all extensions, modifications, renewals,
         restatements or replacements thereof (hereinafter called the "Note");

                  (b) Payment, performance and observance by Debtor of each
         covenant, condition, provision and agreement contained herein and of
         all monies expended or advanced by Secured Party pursuant to the terms
         hereof, or to preserve any right of Secured Party hereunder, or to
         protect or preserve the Collateral or any part thereof;

                  (c) Payment, performance and observance by Debtor of each
         covenant, condition, provision and agreement contained in that Credit
         Agreement of even date herewith, by and between Debtor and Secured
         Party (as extended, modified, renewed, restated or replaced hereinafter
         called the "Credit Agreement") and in any other document or instrument
         related to the indebtedness described in subparagraph (a) above and of
         all monies expended or advanced by Secured Party pursuant to the terms
         thereof or to preserve any right of Secured Party thereunder;

                  (d) Payment and performance of any and all other indebtedness,
         obligations and liabilities of Debtor to Secured Party of every kind
         and character,

<PAGE>   2
         direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now
         existing or hereafter incurred, whether such indebtedness is from time
         to time reduced and thereafter increased or entirely extinguished and
         thereafter reincurred.

All of the indebtedness and obligations secured by this Agreement are
hereinafter collectively called the "Obligation."

3.       USE; LOCATION; CONSTRUCTION

         3.1 The Collateral is or will be used or produced primarily for
business purposes.

         3.2 The Collateral will be kept at Debtor's address set forth at the
beginning of this Agreement and/or at the location(s) listed on Schedule "B", if
any, attached hereto.

         3.3 Debtor's records concerning the Collateral will be kept at Debtor's
address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement and/or at the location(s)
listed on Schedule "B", if any, attached hereto.

4.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF DEBTOR

         Debtor hereby represents and warrants that:

         4.1 Debtor is the owner of the Collateral free of all security
interests or other encumbrances except the Security Interest and, to the best
knowledge of Debtor, no financing statement covering the Collateral is filed or
recorded in any public office except with respect to any Permitted Liens (as
defined in the Credit Agreement).

         4.2 The Collateral is, and is intended to be, used, produced or
acquired by Debtor for use primarily for business purposes. The address of
Debtor set forth at the beginning of this Agreement is the chief executive
office of Debtor.

         4.3 Each account, chattel paper or general intangible included in the
Collateral is genuine and enforceable in accordance with its terms against the
party named therein who is obligated to pay the same (hereinafter called
"Obligor"), and, assuming Secured Party files with the Arizona Secretary of
State and Patent and Trademark Office, the security interests that are part of
each item of chattel paper included in the Collateral are valid, first and prior
perfected security interests. To the best knowledge of Debtor, each Obligor is
solvent, and the amount that Debtor has represented to Secured Party as owing by
each Obligor is the amount actually and unconditionally owing by that Obligor,
without deduction except for normal cash discounts where applicable; no Obligor
has any valid defense, setoff, claim or counterclaim against Debtor that can be
asserted against Secured Party whether in any proceeding to enforce the Security
Interest or otherwise. Each document, instrument and chattel paper included in
the Collateral is complete and regular on its face and free from evidence of
forgery or alteration. No default has occurred in connection with any
instrument, document or chattel paper included in the Collateral, no payment in
connection therewith is overdue and no presentment, dishonor or protest has

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
occurred in connection therewith, except, in each case, in the ordinary course
of business and in amounts properly reserved for in Debtor's financial
statements.

5.       COVENANTS OF DEBTOR

         5.1 Debtor shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral or any interest therein (except as permitted herein) without
obtaining the prior written consent of Secured Party and shall keep the
Collateral free of all security interests or other encumbrances except the
Security Interest and any Permitted Liens. Although proceeds of Collateral are
covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that Secured
Party consents to any sale of the Collateral; provided, however, that Debtor can
sell or dispose of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

         5.2 Debtor shall keep and maintain the Collateral in good condition and
repair and shall not use the Collateral in violation of any provision of this
Agreement or any applicable statute, ordinance or regulation or any policy of
insurance insuring the Collateral.

         5.3 Debtor shall provide and maintain insurance insuring the Collateral
against risks, with coverage and in form and amount satisfactory to Secured
Party. At Secured Party's request, Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party the
original policies of insurance containing endorsements naming Secured Party as a
loss payee.

         5.4 Debtor shall pay when due all taxes, assessments and other charges
which may be levied or assessed against the Collateral.

         5.5 Debtor shall prevent any portion of the Collateral that is not a
fixture from being or becoming a fixture and shall prevent any portion of the
Collateral from being or becoming an accession to other goods that are not part
of the Collateral.

         5.6 Debtor shall keep all titled vehicles properly registered with and
licensed, shall provide Secured Party with the license numbers of all titled
vehicles, and if requested by Secured Party shall cause the Security Interest to
be shown as a valid first lien on the Certificate of Title.

         5.7 Debtor, upon demand, shall promptly deliver to Secured Party all
instruments, documents and chattel paper included in the Collateral and all
invoices, shipping or delivery records, purchase orders, contracts or other
items related to the Collateral. Debtor shall notify Secured Party immediately
of any default by any Obligor in the payment or performance of its obligations
with respect to any Collateral if such default could be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Debtor.

         5.8 Debtor shall give Secured Party immediate written notice of any
change in the location of: (i) Debtor's chief executive office; (ii) the
Collateral or any part thereof; or (iii) Debtor's records concerning the
Collateral.

         5.9 Secured Party or its agents may inspect the Collateral at
reasonable times and may enter into any premises where the Collateral is or may
be located. Debtor shall keep records

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
concerning the Collateral in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Secured Party shall have free and complete access to Debtor's
records and shall have the right to make extracts therefrom or copies thereof.
Upon request of Secured Party from time to time, Debtor shall submit up-to-date
schedules of the items comprising the Collateral in such detail as Secured Party
may reasonably require and shall deliver to Secured Party confirming specific
assignments of all accounts, instruments, documents and chattel paper included
in the Collateral.

         5.10 Debtor, at its cost and expense, shall protect and defend this
Agreement, all of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, and the Collateral
against all claims and demands of other parties, including without limitation
defenses, setoffs, claims and counterclaims asserted by any Obligor against
Debtor and/or Secured Party. Debtor shall pay all claims and charges that in the
opinion of Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the
Collateral or the Security Interest. Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party
of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any
part of the Collateral and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that
might in any way affect or impair the terms of this Agreement.

         5.11 Assuming Secured Party files with the Arizona Secretary of State
and Patent and Trademark Office, the Security Interest, at all times, shall be
perfected and shall be prior to any other interests in the Collateral, except
for Permitted Liens. Debtor shall act and perform as necessary and shall execute
and file all security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements
and other documents requested by Secured Party to establish, maintain and
continue the perfected Security Interest. Debtor, on demand, shall promptly pay
all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any
searches, deemed necessary by Secured Party from time to time to establish and
determine the validity and the continuing priority of the Security Interest.

         5.12 If Debtor shall fail to pay any taxes, assessments, expenses or
charges, to keep all of the Collateral free from other security interests,
encumbrances or claims, to keep the Collateral in good condition and repair, to
procure and maintain insurance thereon, or to perform otherwise as required
herein, Secured Party may advance the monies necessary to pay the same, to
accomplish such repairs, to procure and maintain such insurance or to so
perform; Secured Party is hereby authorized to enter upon any property in the
possession or control of Debtor for such purposes.

         5.13 All rights, powers and remedies granted Secured Party herein, or
otherwise available to Secured Party, are for the sole benefit and protection of
Secured Party, and Secured Party may exercise any such right, power or remedy at
its option and in its sole and absolute discretion without any obligation to do
so. In addition, if under the terms hereof, Secured Party is given two or more
alternative courses of action, Secured Party may elect any alternative or
combination of alternatives at its option and in its sole and absolute
discretion. All monies advanced by Secured Party under the terms hereof and all
amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Secured Party in exercising any authority
granted herein, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be added to the
Obligation, shall be secured by the Security Interest, shall bear interest at
the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) until paid, and shall be
due and payable by Debtor to Secured Party immediately without demand.

6.       NOTIFICATION AND PAYMENTS; COLLECTION OF COLLATERAL; USE OF COLLATERAL
         BY DEBTOR

         6.1 Secured Party, after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
defined below, and with prior written notice to Debtor, may notify any or all
Obligors of the existence of the Security Interest and may direct the Obligors
to make all payments on the Collateral to Secured Party. Until Secured Party has
notified the Obligors to remit payments directly to it, Debtor, at Debtor's own
cost and expense, shall collect or cause to be collected the accounts and monies
due under the accounts, documents, instruments and general intangibles or
pursuant to the terms of the chattel paper. Secured Party shall not be liable or
responsible for any embezzlement, conversion, negligence or default by Debtor or
Debtor's agents with respect to such collections; all agents used in such
collections shall be agents of Debtor and not agents of Secured Party. Unless
Secured Party notifies Debtor in writing that it waives one or more of the
requirements set forth in this sentence, any payments or other proceeds of
Collateral received by Debtor after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
before or after notification to Obligors, shall be held by Debtor in trust for
Secured Party in the same form in which received, shall not be commingled with
any assets of Debtor and shall be turned over to Secured Party not later than
the next business day following the day of receipt. After the occurrence of an
Event of Default, all payments and other proceeds of Collateral received by
Secured Party directly or from Debtor shall be applied to the Obligation in such
order and manner and at such time as Secured Party, in its sole discretion,
shall determine. In addition, after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party of the return to or possession by
Debtor of goods underlying any Collateral; Debtor shall hold the same in trust
for Secured Party and shall dispose of the same as Secured Party directs.

         6.2 Secured Party, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and
without notice to Debtor, may demand, collect and sue on the Collateral (either
in Debtor's or Secured Party's name), enforce, compromise, settle or discharge
the Collateral and endorse Debtor's name on any instruments, documents, or
chattel paper included in or pertaining to the Collateral; Debtor hereby
irrevocably appoints Secured Party its attorney in fact for all such purposes.

         6.3 Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor may: (i) use,
consume and sell any inventory included in the Collateral in any lawful manner
in the ordinary course of Debtor's business provided that all sales shall be at
commercially reasonable prices; and (ii) subject to Paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2
above, retain possession of any other Collateral and use it in any lawful manner
consistent with this Agreement.

7.       COLLATERAL IN THE POSSESSION OF SECURED PARTY

         7.1 Secured Party shall use such reasonable care in handling,
preserving and protecting the Collateral in its possession as it uses in
handling similar property for its own account. Secured Party, however, shall
have no liability for the loss, destruction or disappearance of any Collateral
unless there is affirmative proof of a lack of due care; the lack of due care
shall not be implied solely by virtue of any loss, destruction or disappearance.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6
         7.2 Debtor shall be solely responsible for taking any and all actions
to preserve rights against all Obligors; Secured Party shall not be obligated to
take any such actions whether or not the Collateral is in Secured Party's
possession. Debtor waives presentment and protest with respect to any instrument
included in the Collateral on which Debtor is in any way liable and waives
notice of any action taken by Secured Party with respect to any instrument,
document or chattel paper included in any Collateral that is in the possession
of Secured Party.

8.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

         8.1 The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute and is hereby defined to be an "Event of Default":

                  (a) Any failure or neglect to perform or observe any of the
         terms, provisions, or covenants of this Agreement, and such failure or
         neglect either cannot be remedied or, if it can be remedied, it
         continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after notice
         thereof to Debtor.

                  (b) Any warranty, representation or statement contained in
         this Agreement that shall be or shall prove to have been false when
         made or furnished.

                  (c) Any levy or execution upon, or judicial seizure of, any
         portion of the Collateral or any other collateral or security for the
         Obligation.

                  (d) Any attachment or garnishment of, or the existence or
         filing of any lien or encumbrance against, any portion of the
         Collateral or any other collateral or security for the Obligation that
         is not removed and released within fifteen (15) days after its
         creation, except for Permitted Liens.

                  (e) The institution of any legal action or proceedings to
         enforce any lien or encumbrance upon any portion of the Collateral or
         any other collateral or security for the Obligation, that is not
         dismissed within fifteen (15) days after its institution, except for
         Permitted Liens.

                  (f) The abandonment by Debtor of all or any part of the
         Collateral.

                  (g) The loss, theft or destruction of, or any substantial
         damage to, any portion of the Collateral or any other collateral or
         security for the Obligation, that is not adequately covered by
         insurance.

                  (h) The occurrence of any event of default under the Note, the
         Credit Agreement or any other document or instrument executed or
         delivered in connection with the Obligation.

         8.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time while
such Event of Default is continuing, Secured Party shall have the following
rights and remedies and may do one or more of the following:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
                  (a) Declare all or any part of the Obligation to be
         immediately due and payable, and the same, with all costs and charges,
         shall be collectible thereupon by action at law.

                  (b) Without further notice or demand and without legal
         process, take possession of the Collateral wherever found and, for this
         purpose, enter upon any property occupied by or in the control of
         Debtor. Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party, shall assemble the
         Collateral and deliver it to Secured Party or to a place designated by
         Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties.

                  (c) Operate the business of Debtor as a going concern,
         including, without limitation, extend sales or services to new
         customers and advance funds for such operation. Secured Party shall not
         be liable for any depreciation, loss, damage or injury to the
         Collateral or other property of Debtor as a result of such action.
         Debtor hereby waives any claim of trespass or replevin arising as a
         result of such action.

                  (d) Pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to collect
         the Obligation, to enforce its title in and right to possession of the
         Collateral and to enforce any and all other rights or remedies
         available to it.

                  (e) Upon obtaining possession of the Collateral or any part
         thereof, after written notice to Debtor as provided in Paragraph 8.4
         herein, sell such Collateral at public or private sale either with or
         without having such Collateral at the place of sale. The proceeds of
         such sale, after deducting therefrom all reasonable expenses of Secured
         Party in taking, storing, repairing and selling the Collateral
         (including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied to the payment
         of the Obligation, and any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid
         to Debtor or any other person that may be legally entitled thereto. In
         the event of a deficiency between such net proceeds from the sale of
         the Collateral and the total amount of the Obligation, Debtor, upon
         demand, shall promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to Secured
         Party.

         8.3 Secured Party, so far as may be lawful, may purchase all or any
part of the Collateral offered at any public or private sale made in the
enforcement of Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder.

         8.4 Any demand or notice of sale, disposition or other intended action
hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise, shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable and effective
if such demand or notice is given to Debtor at least five (5) days prior to such
sale, disposition or other intended action, in the manner provided herein for
the giving of notices.

         8.5 Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses, including without
limitation costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
Secured Party in enforcing payment and performance of the Obligation or in
exercising the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder. All such costs
and expenses shall be secured by this Agreement and by all deeds of trust and
other lien and security documents securing the Obligation. In the event of any
court proceedings, court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by the court and
not by jury and shall be included in any judgment obtained by Secured Party.

         8.6 In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of
Default, Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies afforded a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and equitable
remedies allowed under applicable law. No failure on the part of Secured Party
to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default shall
be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or
subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising
any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at
any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Secured Party may enforce
any one or more rights or remedies hereunder successively or concurrently. By
accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligation after its due date,
Secured Party shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time
is of the essence, nor shall Secured Party waive either its right to require
prompt payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its
right to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default.

9.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         9.1 The acceptance of this Agreement by Secured Party shall not be
considered a waiver of or in any way to affect or impair any other security that
Secured Party may have, acquire simultaneously herewith, or hereafter acquire
for the payment or performance of the Obligation, nor shall the taking by
Secured Party at any time of any such additional security be construed as a
waiver of or in any way to affect or impair the Security Interest; Secured Party
may resort, for the payment or performance of the Obligation, to its several
securities therefor in such order and manner as it may determine.

         9.2 Without notice or demand, without affecting the obligations of
Debtor hereunder or the personal liability of any person for payment or
performance of the Obligation, and without affecting the Security Interest or
the priority thereof, Secured Party, from time to time, may: (i) extend the time
for payment of all or any part of the Obligation, accept a renewal note
therefor, reduce the payments thereon, release any person liable for all or any
part thereof, or otherwise change the terms of all or any part of the
Obligation; (ii) take and hold other security for the payment or performance of
the Obligation and enforce, exchange, substitute, subordinate, waive or release
any such security; (iii) join in any extension or subordination agreement; or
(iv) release any part of the Collateral from the Security Interest.

         9.3 Debtor waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any right to require
Secured Party to proceed against any guarantor, to proceed against or exhaust
any other security for the Obligation, to pursue any other remedy available to
Secured Party, or to pursue any remedy in any particular order or manner; (ii)
the benefits of any legal or equitable doctrine or principle of marshalling;
(iii) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the enforcement
hereof; (iv) demand, diligence, presentment for payment, protest and demand, and
notice of extension,

                                      -8-
