         2.2      Perfection of Security Interests.

                  (a)      Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes
         Lender (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such
         financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Lender or
         its designee as the secured party and Guarantor as debtor, as Lender
         may require, and including any other information with respect to
         Guarantor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform
         Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Lender may determine, together
         with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which
         authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior
         to or after the date hereof. Guarantor hereby ratifies and approves all
         financing statements naming Lender or its designee as secured party and
         Guarantor, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments
         with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of
         Lender prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the
         authorization of Lender to file such financing statements (and
         amendments, if any). Guarantor hereby authorizes Lender to adopt on
         behalf of Guarantor any symbol required for authenticating any
         electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral
         in any financing statement naming Lender or its designee as the secured
         party and Guarantor as debtor includes assets and properties of
         Guarantor that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether
         hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements or otherwise,
         the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed
         authorized by such Guarantor to the extent of the Collateral included
         in such description and it shall not render the financing statement
         ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the
         financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event
         shall Guarantor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any
         correction statement or termination statement with respect to any
         financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto)
         naming Lender or its designee as secured party and Guarantor as debtor.

                  (b)      Guarantor shall take any other actions reasonably
         requested by Lender from time to time to cause the attachment,
         perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Lender to enforce,
         the security interest of Lender in any and all of the Collateral,
         including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where
         appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating
         thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any,
         that Guarantor's signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing
         Lender's name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title
         for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment,
         perfection or priority of, or ability of Lender to enforce, the
         security interest of Lender in such Collateral, (iii) complying with
         any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States
         as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition
         to attachment, perfection or priority of,

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

         or ability of Lender to enforce, the security interest of Lender in
         such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any
         governmental authority or third party, including, without limitation,
         any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on
         Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of
         the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.

received by Lender, (ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which
remittances from account debtors or other Obligors in respect of Receivables or
other proceeds of Collateral are sent or received are deposited, (iii) endorse
Guarantor's name upon any items of payment in respect of Receivables
constituting Collateral or otherwise received by Lender and deposit the same in
the Lender's account for application to the Obligations, (iv) endorse
Guarantor's name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, or
similar document or agreement relating to any Receivable or any goods pertaining
thereto or any other Collateral including any warehouse or other receipts, or
bills of lading and other negotiable or non-negotiable documents, and (v) sign
Guarantor's name on any verification of Receivables and notices thereof to
account debtors and/or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect
thereof. Guarantor hereby releases Lender and its officers, employees and
designees from any liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of
attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except
as a result of Lender's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

         3.5      Right to Cure. Lender may, at its option, (a) cure any default
by Guarantor under any agreement with a third party that affects the Collateral,

Collateral or the rights and remedies of Lender therein or the ability of
Guarantor or any Obligor to perform it obligations hereunder or under any of the
Financing Agreements, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against
Guarantor, (c) discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances
at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any
amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Lender's judgment, is
necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral
and the rights of Lender with respect thereto. Lender may add any amounts so
expended to the Obligations and charge Guarantor's account therefor, such
amounts to be repayable by Guarantor on demand. Lender shall be under no
obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so,
be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of Guarantor or any
Obligor. Any payment made or other action taken by Lender under this Section
shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder
and to proceed accordingly.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender the following (which
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement):

         4.1      Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries. Guarantor is a
limited liability company duly organized and in good standing under the laws of
its state of formation and is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good
standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the
business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification
necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify
would not have a material adverse effect on Guarantor's financial condition,
results of operation or business or the rights of Lender in or to any of the
Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other
Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder
are all within Guarantor's powers, have been duly authorized and are not in
contravention of law or the terms of Guarantor's certificate of formation,
by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or
undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its property
are bound. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms. Guarantor does not have any subsidiaries except as set forth
on the Information Certificate.

         4.2      Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All
financial statements relating to Guarantor which have been or may hereafter be
delivered by Guarantor to Lender have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and
fairly present the financial condition and the results of operation of Guarantor
as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as disclosed in
any interim financial statements furnished by Guarantor to Lender prior to the
date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the assets,
liabilities, properties and condition, financial or otherwise, of Guarantor,
since the date of the most recent audited financial statements furnished by
Guarantor to Lender prior to the date hereof.

         4.3      Name; State of Organization; Chief Executive Office;
Collateral Locations.

                  (a)      The exact legal name of Guarantor is as set forth on
         the signature page of this Agreement and in the Information
         Certificate. Guarantor has not, during the past five years, been known
         by or used any other name or fictitious name or been a party to any
         merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the
         assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of
         the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Information
         Certificate.

                  (b)      Guarantor is an organization of the type and
         organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Information Certificate.
         The Information Certificate accurately sets forth the organizational
         identification number of Guarantor or accurately states that Guarantor
         has none and accurately sets forth the federal employer identification
         number of Guarantor.

                  (c)      The chief executive office and mailing address of
         Guarantor and Guarantor's Records concerning Accounts are currently
         located and for the past five years have only been located at the
         address set forth below and its only other places of business and the
         only other locations of Collateral, if any, during such time periods
         are the addresses set forth in the Information Certificate, subject to
         the rights of Guarantor to establish new locations in accordance with
         Section 5.2 below. The Information Certificate correctly identifies any
         of such locations which are not owned by Guarantor and sets forth the
         owners and/or operators thereof.

         4.4      Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests
and liens granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security
interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens in favor of IBM
Credit and the other liens permitted under Section 5.8 hereof. Guarantor has
good and marketable title to all of its properties and assets subject to no
liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any
kind, except those granted to Lender, granted to IBM Credit or permitted under
Section 5.8 hereof.

         4.5      Tax Returns. Guarantor has filed, or caused to be filed, in a
timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be
filed by it (without requests for extension except as previously disclosed in
writing to Lender). All information in such tax returns, reports and
declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Guarantor has
paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable
in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and
available to Guarantor and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set
aside on its books. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all
accrued and unpaid Federal, State, county, local, foreign and other taxes
whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.

         4.6      Litigation. Except as set forth on the Information
Certificate, there is no present investigation by any governmental agency
pending, or to the best of Guarantor's knowledge threatened, against or
affecting Guarantor, its assets or business and there is no action, suit,
proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of Guarantor's
knowledge threatened,

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

against Guarantor or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which if adversely determined
against Guarantor would result in any material adverse change in the assets,
business or prospects of Guarantor or which would impair the ability of
Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other
Financing Agreements to which it is a party or of Lender to enforce the
Obligations or realize upon any Collateral.

         4.7      Compliance with Other Agreements and Applicable Laws.
Guarantor is not in default in any material respect under, or in violation in
any material respect of any of the terms of, any agreement, contract,
instrument, lease or other commitment to which it is a party or by which it or
any of its assets are bound and Guarantor is in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable provisions of laws, rules, regulations, licenses,
permits, approvals and orders of any foreign, Federal, State or local
governmental authority.

         4.8      Bank Accounts. All of the deposit accounts, investment
accounts or other accounts in the name of or used by Guarantor maintained at any
bank or other financial institution are set forth on Schedule 4.8 hereto,
subject to the right of Guarantor to establish new accounts in accordance with
Section 5.13 below.

         4.9      Intellectual Property. Guarantor owns or licenses or otherwise
has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the operation of
its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted. As of the date
hereof, Guarantor does not have any Intellectual Property registered, or subject
to pending applications, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any
similar office or agency in the United States, any State thereof, any political
subdivision thereof or in any other country, and has not granted any licenses
with respect thereto. No event has occurred which permits or would permit after
notice or passage of time or both, the revocation, suspension or termination of
such rights. To the best of Guarantor's knowledge, no slogan or other
advertising device, product, process, method, substance or other Intellectual
Property or goods bearing or using any Intellectual Property presently
contemplated to be sold by or employed by Guarantor infringes any patent,
trademark, servicemark, tradename, copyright, license or other Intellectual
Property owned by any other Person presently and no claim or litigation is
pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor contesting its right to
sell or use any such Intellectual Property. There are no agreements or other
arrangements of Guarantor pursuant to which Guarantor has a license or other
right to use any trademarks, logos, designs, representations or other
Intellectual Property owned by another person as in effect on the date hereof or
other arrangements of Guarantor as in effect on the date hereof.

         4.10     Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All information
furnished by or on behalf of Guarantor in writing to Lender in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, including all information on the Information
Certificate is true and correct in all material respects on the date as of which
such information is dated or certified and does not omit any material fact
necessary in order to make such information not misleading. No event or
circumstance has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse affect on the business, assets or prospects of Guarantor,
which has not been fully and accurately disclosed to Lender in writing.

         4.11     Survival of Warranties; Cumulative. All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed
to have been made again to Lender on the date of each additional borrowing or
other credit accommodation under the Loan Agreement and shall be conclusively
presumed to have been relied on by Lender regardless of any investigation made
or information possessed by Lender. The representations and warranties set forth
herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any other representations or
warranties which Guarantor shall now or hereafter give, or cause to be given, to
Lender.

         the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Lender shall have received
         not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from Guarantor of

         amendment to the Certificate of Formation of Guarantor providing for
         the name change certified by the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction
         of formation of Guarantor as soon as it is available.

                  (c)      Guarantor shall not change its chief executive office
         or its mailing address or organizational identification number (or if
         it does not have one, shall not acquire one) unless Lender shall have
         received not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice from
         Guarantor of such proposed change, which notice shall set forth such
         information with respect thereto as Lender may require and Lender shall

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

         5.3      Compliance with Laws, Regulations, Etc. Guarantor shall, at
all times, comply in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations,
licenses, permits, approvals and orders of any Federal, State or local
governmental authority applicable to it.

         5.4      Payment of Taxes and Claims. Guarantor shall duly pay and
discharge all taxes, assessments, contributions and governmental charges upon or
against it or its properties or assets, except for taxes the validity of which
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued
and available to Guarantor and with respect to which adequate reserves have been
set aside on its books. Guarantor shall be liable for any tax or penalties
imposed on Lender as a result of the financing arrangements provided for herein
and Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless with respect to the
foregoing, and to repay to Lender on demand the amount thereof, and until paid
by Guarantor such amount shall be added and deemed part of the Loans, provided,
that, nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Guarantor to pay
any income or franchise taxes attributable to the income of Lender from any
amounts charged or paid hereunder to Lender. The foregoing indemnity shall
survive the payment of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and
the termination or non-renewal of the Loan Agreement.

         5.5      Insurance. Guarantor shall, at all times, maintain with

reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated.
Said policies of insurance shall be satisfactory to Lender as to form, amount
and insurer. Guarantor shall furnish certificates, policies or endorsements to
Lender as Lender shall require as proof of such insurance, and, if Guarantor
fails to do so, Lender is authorized, but not required, to obtain such insurance
at the expense of Guarantor. All policies shall provide for at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation or reduction of coverage
and that Lender may act as attorney for Guarantor in obtaining, and at any time
an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, adjusting,
settling, amending and canceling such insurance. Guarantor shall cause Lender to
be named as a loss payee and an additional insured (but without any liability
for any premiums) under such insurance policies and Guarantor shall obtain
non-contributory lender's loss payable endorsements to all insurance policies in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Such lender's loss payable
endorsements shall specify that the proceeds of such insurance shall be payable
to Lender as its interests may appear and further specify that Lender shall be
paid regardless of any act or omission by Guarantor or any of its affiliates. At
its option, Lender may apply any insurance proceeds received by Lender at any
time to the cost of repairs or replacement of Collateral and/or to payment of
the Obligations, whether or not then due, in any order and in such manner as
Lender may determine or hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the
Obligations.

accompanying notes thereto, all in reasonable detail, fairly presenting the
financial position and the results of the operations of Guarantor and its
subsidiaries as of the end of and for such fiscal year, together with the
unqualified opinion of independent certified public accountants, which
accountants shall be an independent accounting firm selected by Guarantor and
reasonably acceptable to Lender, that such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly the results of operations
and financial condition of Guarantor and its subsidiaries as of the end of and
for the fiscal year then ended.

                  (b)      Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing of

(ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or event which, with the passage of
time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

                  (c)      Guarantor shall promptly after the sending or filing
thereof furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender copies of all reports which
Guarantor sends to its stockholders generally and copies of all reports and
registration statements which Guarantor files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any national securities exchange or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.

                  (d)      Guarantor shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
Lender such budgets, forecasts, projections and other information respecting the
Collateral and the business of Guarantor, as Lender may, from time to time,
reasonably request. Lender is hereby authorized to deliver a copy of any
financial statement or any other information relating to the business of
Guarantor to any court or other government agency or to any participant or
assignee or prospective participant or assignee. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs all accountants or auditors to deliver to Lender, at
Guarantor's expense, copies of the financial statements of Guarantor and any
reports or management letters prepared by such accountants or auditors on behalf
of Guarantor and to disclose to Lender such information as they may have
regarding the business of Guarantor. Any documents, schedules, invoices or other
papers delivered to Lender may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lender
one (1) year after the same are delivered to Lender, except as otherwise
designated by Guarantor to Lender in writing.

Agreement, Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any
dividends on account of any membership interests of Guarantor now or hereafter
outstanding, or set aside or otherwise deposit or invest any sums for such
purpose, or redeem, retire, defease, purchase or otherwise acquire any
membership interest (or set aside or otherwise deposit or invest any sums for
such purpose) for any consideration other than common equity or apply or set
apart any sum, or make any other distribution (by reduction of capital or
otherwise) in respect of any such interest or agree to do any of the foregoing.

or lease any property to, any officer, director, agent or other person

management, consulting or other fees for management or similar services, or of

SECTION 6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         6.1      Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of any Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement is referred to herein individually as an "Event
of Default", and collectively as "Events of Default".

         6.2      Remedies.

                  (a)      At any time an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided
in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code
and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised
without notice to or consent by Guarantor or any Obligor, except as such notice
or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law.
All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder, under any of the
other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law,
are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Lender's discretion,
alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and
shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for
an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Guarantor of this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Lender may, at any time or
times, proceed directly against Guarantor or any Obligor to collect the
Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

                  (b)      Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event
of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its
discretion and without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations
and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender (provided, that, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) of
the Loan Agreement, all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due
and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of
others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be
located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing,
manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require
Guarantor, at Guarantor's expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any
part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender, (iv)
collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all
Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in
which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure
or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) sell, lease,
transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales
at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such
prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for
future delivery, with the Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any
part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free
from any right or equity of redemption of Guarantor, which right or equity of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Guarantor. If any of the
Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery,
the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

is finally collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is
required by law, five (5) days prior notice by Lender to Guarantor designating
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof and Guarantor waives any other notice. In the event
Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any
Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Guarantor waives the posting of any
bond which might otherwise be required.

                  (c)      Lender may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral
actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part
and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due. Guarantor shall
remain liable to Lender for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the
highest rate provided for in the Loan Agreement and all costs and expenses of
collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

SECTION 7. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS
           AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW

         7.1      Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial
Waiver.

                  (a)      The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the
relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas (without
giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

                  (b)      Guarantor irrevocably consents and submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Texas and the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Texas and waives any objection based on venue
or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising
under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way
connected or related or incidental to the dealings of Guarantor and Lender in
respect of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements or the transactions
related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agrees that any
dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts
described above (except that Lender shall have the right to bring any action or
proceeding against Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other
jurisdiction which Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on
the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against Guarantor or its
property).

                  (c)      Guarantor hereby waives personal service of any and
all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on
the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed
five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or,
at Lender's option, by service upon Guarantor in any other manner provided under
the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service,
Guarantor shall appear in

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

answer to such process, failing which Guarantor shall be deemed in default and
judgment may be entered by Lender against Guarantor for the amount of the claim
and other relief requested.

                  (d)      GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER IN RESPECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT GUARANTOR OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF
THE CONSENT OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY.

                  (e)      Lender shall not have any liability to Guarantor
(whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by
Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the
transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act,
omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a
final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender that the
losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Lender shall be entitled to the
benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the
exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

         7.2      Waiver of Notices. Guarantor hereby expressly waives demand,
presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect
to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any
of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral
and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice
to or demand on Guarantor which Lender may elect to give shall entitle Guarantor
to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

         7.3      Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by
course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized
officer of Lender, and as to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer
of Guarantor. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or
remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized
officer of Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent
specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or
remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

any such right, power and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any
future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

         7.4      Waiver of Counterclaims. Guarantor waives all rights to
interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other
then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating hereto or thereto.

         7.5      Indemnification. Guarantor shall indemnify and hold Lender,
and its directors, agents, employees and counsel, harmless from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation,
investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any
undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto,
including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of
counsel. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless
set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or
public policy, Guarantor shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to
pay under applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under
this Section. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the
Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the termination or
non-renewal of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.

         8.3      Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and

except that Guarantor may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other

                             STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
                           Supplies Distributors, Inc.

         THIS STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into on March
29, 2002 between SUPPLIES DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Pledgor"), and CONGRESS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (SOUTHWEST), a Texas Corporation
("Pledgee").

         1.       For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and as collateral security for and
to secure the prompt payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations
(hereinafter defined), Pledgor hereby assigns to Pledgee and grants to Pledgee a
continuing security interest in sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock (including, without limitation, sixty-five
percent (65%) of the shares of common stock represented by the stock
certificates identified on Schedule I attached hereto) of Supplies Distributors
of Canada, Inc., an Ontario corporation ("Company"), whether now or hereafter
issued by Company, together with all proceeds, products and increases thereof
and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, the "Collateral").

                  As used in this Agreement, the term "Secured Obligations"
shall mean (i) any and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Pledgor
to Pledgee under that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated the date hereof
by and between Pledgee and Pledgor (as hereafter amended from time to time, the
"Loan Agreement") and (ii) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications,
increases and replacements of the foregoing. The term "Secured Obligations"
shall include, without limitation, all unpaid accrued interest thereon and all
costs and expenses payable by Pledgor to Pledgee under the Loan Agreement as
hereinafter provided: (i) whether now existing or hereafter incurred; (ii)
whether direct, indirect, primary, absolute, secondary, contingent, secured,
unsecured, matured or unmatured; (iii) whether such indebtedness is from time to
time reduced and thereafter increased, or entirely extinguished and thereafter
reincurred; (iv) whether such indebtedness was originally contracted with
Pledgee; (v) whether or not such indebtedness is evidenced by a negotiable or
nonnegotiable instrument or any other writing; and (vi) whether such
indebtedness is contracted by Pledgor individually or jointly or severally with
another or others.

         2.       Pledgor represents and warrants that (i) Pledgor holds record
and beneficial ownership of the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances other than any liens in favor of IBM Credit Corporation, a Delaware
corporation; (ii) there are no restrictions upon the transfer of any of the
Collateral, other than as may appear and may be referenced on the face of the
certificates or other than arising under applicable state or federal securities
laws; (iii) Pledgor owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Company; (iv) there are no existing obligations to issue capital stock or
securities convertible into capital stock of Company and in no event will
Pledgor permit any such stock or securities to be issued prior to payment in
full of the Secured Obligations; and (v) there are no existing securities or
obligations of Company, the amount of which obligation is based, in whole or in
part, on the value of Company's capital stock or any increase thereof, nor will
Pledgor permit any such securities or obligations to exist prior to payment in
full of the Secured Obligations.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.4

         3.       In furtherance of Pledgee's security interest in the
Collateral, Pledgor agrees to deliver to Pledgee, on the date of this Agreement,
the stock certificates identified on Schedule I attached hereto, together with
stock powers duly executed in blank by Pledgor, to hold as collateral security
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         4.       With respect to the Collateral and all proceeds, products and
increases thereof and substitutions therefor, Pledgor hereby appoints Pledgee
its attorney-in-fact, to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral on the books
of Company to the name of Pledgee subsequent to the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) hereunder. However,
Pledgee shall be under no obligation to do so.

         5.       During the term of this Agreement, provided no Event of
Default has occurred and then exists hereunder, Pledgor shall have the right,
where applicable, to vote the Collateral on all corporate questions, and Pledgee
shall, if necessary, execute due and timely proxies in favor of Pledgor for this
purpose.

         6.       Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, Pledgee may exercise all of the rights and privileges in
connection with the Collateral to which a transferee may be entitled as the
record holder thereof, together with the rights and privileges otherwise granted
hereunder. Pledgee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of such rights
or privileges.

         7.       If, with the consent of Pledgee, Pledgor shall substitute or
exchange other securities in place of those herein mentioned, all of the rights
and privileges of Pledgee and all of the obligations of Pledgor with respect to
the securities originally pledged or held as Collateral hereunder shall be
forthwith applicable to such substituted or exchanged securities.

         8.       Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, Pledgee shall be authorized to collect all dividends,
interest payments, and other amounts (including amounts received or receivable
upon redemption or repurchase) that may be, or become, due on any of the
Collateral. If Pledgor receives any such dividends, payments or amounts after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall
immediately endorse and deliver the same to Pledgee in the form received. All
such amounts which Pledgee receives and retains in accordance with the terms of
this paragraph 8 shall be applied to reduce the principal amount outstanding on
the Secured Obligations in inverse order of maturity. Pledgee is, furthermore,
authorized to give receipts in the name of Pledgor for any amounts so received.
Pledgee shall be under no obligation to collect any such amounts.

         9.       In the event that, during the term of this Agreement,
subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued in
connection with the Collateral, such warrants, rights, or options shall be
immediately assigned, if necessary, by Pledgor to Pledgee. If any such warrants,
rights, or options are exercised by Pledgor, all new securities so acquired by
Pledgor shall be immediately assigned to Pledgee, shall become part of the
Collateral and shall be endorsed to,

<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.4

delivered to and held by Pledgee under the terms of this Agreement in the same
manner as the securities originally pledged.

         10.      In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, any
share, dividend, reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or
made in the capital structure of Company, all new, substituted and additional
shares, or other securities, issued by reason of any such change shall become
part of the Collateral and shall be endorsed to, delivered to and held by
Pledgee under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the securities
originally pledged.

         11.      Pledgor authorizes Pledgee, without notice or demand, and
without affecting the liability of Pledgor hereunder, from time to time to:

                  (A)      hold security in addition to and other than the
Collateral for the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and
exchange, enforce, waive and release any Collateral or any part thereof, or any
other such security, or part thereof;

                  (B)      release any of the endorsers or guarantors of the
Secured Obligations secured hereunder or any part thereof, or any other person
whomsoever liable for or on account of such Secured Obligations;

                  (C)      on the transfer of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations secured hereunder, Pledgee may assign all or any part of Pledgee's
security interest in the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter
from all liability and responsibility with respect to the Collateral so
transferred, provided that in no event shall Pledgee be liable for any act or
omission or negligent act or negligent omission with respect to the Collateral,
other than acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct
or tortious breach of contract. The transferee of the Collateral shall be vested
with the rights, powers and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, and with respect to
any Collateral not so transferred, Pledgee shall retain all rights, powers and
remedies hereby given; and

                  (D)      Pledgor hereby waives any right to require Pledgee to
proceed against Pledgor, Company or any other person whomsoever, to proceed
against or exhaust any collateral or any other security held by Pledgee, or to
pursue any other remedy available to Pledgee. Pledgor further waives any defense
arising by reason of any liability or other defense of Pledgor or of any other
person. Pledgor shall have no right to require Pledgee to marshal collateral.

         12.      It shall not be necessary for Pledgee to inquire into the
powers of Pledgor or the officers, directors or agents acting or purporting to
act on behalf of Pledgor, and any obligations made or created in reliance on the
professed exercise of such powers shall be secured hereunder.

         13.      To the extent permitted by applicable law and in the Loan
Agreement, Pledgee shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to make or
give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance,
protests, notices of protest, or notices of dishonor in connection with the
Secured Obligations.

         14.      The occurrence of any of the following events shall, at the
option of Pledgee, constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:

                  (A)      the occurrence of an Event of Default, as such term
is defined in the Loan Agreement; or

                  (B)      the default or nonperformance by Pledgor of any term
or condition of this Agreement.

         15.      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Secured Obligations shall, at the option of Pledgee, become
immediately due and payable, and Pledgee shall have all the rights and remedies
provided in the Uniform Commercial Code of Texas at the date of this Agreement
and, in this connection, the Pledgee may, upon ten (10) days' notice to the
Pledgor sent to the persons identified in and in the same manner as provided in
the Loan Agreement, without liability for any diminution in value or price which
may have occurred, sell all or any part of the Collateral in such manner and for
such price as Pledgee may determine. At any public sale Pledgee shall be free to
purchase all or any part of the Collateral. Pledgee shall receive the proceeds
of any such sale or sales, and, after deducting therefrom any and all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale thereof, apply the net
proceeds toward the payment of the Secured Obligations secured hereunder,
including interest, reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Pledgee hereunder and under any other agreement between
Pledgor and Pledgee. If such proceeds be more than sufficient to pay the same,
then in case of a surplus, such surplus shall be accounted for and paid over to
Pledgor, provided Pledgor be not then indebted to Pledgee otherwise under this
Agreement or any other Agreement or for any cause whatsoever.

         16.      Upon indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Secured
Obligations, Pledgee will promptly, at Pledgor's reasonable expense, deliver all
of the Collateral to Pledgor along with all instruments of assignment executed
in connection therewith, and execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence Pledgee's release of its security
interest hereunder.

         17.      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND
LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOCAL LAW OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT
OTHERWISE REFER CONSTRUCTION OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
