rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate. Borrower shall pay the entire
outstanding principal amount of each Prime Rate Advance on the Revolving

Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit for the account of
Borrower in an aggregate outstanding amount of undrawn plus drawn but

amount of such Letters of Credit shall not in any case exceed Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) in aggregate. All Letters of Credit shall

application and letter of credit agreement, including Bank's fee of one percent
(1.0%) for the issuance of each Letter of Credit, payable on the date of

Bank. All amounts actually paid by Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit shall,
when paid, constitute an Advance.

                    (b)  The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse
Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of

Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at the
rates specified in Section 2.1.1.

               (b)  Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a
rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable
immediately prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

               (c)  Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the
first (1/st/) calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at
its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments
against any of Borrower's deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in
which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue
interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Bank shall deliver to Borrower
statements of account in the ordinary course of business.

               (d)  Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from
time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an
amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate.

     2.3  Crediting Payments.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to
such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies.  After the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer
of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire
transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be
deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the
immediately following Business Day.  Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan
Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue
and be payable for the period of such extension.

     2.4  Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:

               (a)  Facility Fees.  On the Closing Date and on each anniversary
thereof, a fee equal to one tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the Revolving Line
and, on the last day of each fiscal quarter, a non-utilization fee equal to
thirty-seven and one-half one-hundredths of one percent (0.375%) of the
difference between the Revolving Line and the average Daily Balance during that
quarter;

               (b)  Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses
incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, as and when they become due.

     2.5  Conversion/Continuation of Advances.

               (a)  Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request
that Prime Rate Advances be converted to LIBOR Rate Advances or that any
existing LIBOR Rate Advances continue for an additional Interest Period. Such
request shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Advances which will
constitute LIBOR Rate Advances (subject to the limits set forth below) and the
Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances. Each written
request for a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Advance or a continuation of a LIBOR
Rate Advance shall be substantially in the form of a Libor Rate
Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit B-2, which shall be
                                                    -----------
duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Bank's receipt of such a request
from Borrower, such Prime Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Rate
Advances or such LIBOR Rate Advances shall continue, as the case may be provided
that:

                    (i)  no Event of Default or event which with notice or
passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;
<PAGE>

                    (ii)   no party hereto shall have sent any notice of
termination of the Agreement;

                    (iii)  Borrower shall have complied with such customary
procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower's requests for
LIBOR Rate Advances;

                    (iv)   the amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be
$1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000; and

                    (v)    Bank shall have determined that the Interest Period
or LIBOR Rate is available to Bank as of the date of the request for such LIBOR
Rate Advance.

     Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Advances to LIBOR Rate
Advances or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Advances shall be irrevocable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be
required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank
market or other applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Advances,
but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such
deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Advances.

               (b)  Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall automatically convert to Prime
Rate Advances upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Bank
has received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR
Rate Advance at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in
accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Advances shall, at Bank's
option, convert to Prime Rate Advances in the event that an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing. Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank
any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such Person, as a result of
the conversion of LIBOR Rate Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to any of
the foregoing.

     2.6  Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Advances.

               (a)  If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory
prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount
of a LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such
LIBOR Rate Advance, Borrower shall on demand by Bank, pay Bank 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 Interest
Period or term exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by
Bank 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 Interest Period or
term at the interest rate determined by Bank.

               (b)  Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time
to time such amounts as Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to
compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank
hereunder in respect of any Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs
and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), in
each case resulting from any change in applicable law (a "Regulatory Change")
that:

                    (i)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable
to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Advances (other than changes
which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank; or

                    (ii)   imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or
any deposits with or other liabilities of Bank (including any Advances or any
deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"); or

                    (iii)  imposes any other material condition affecting this
Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

               (c)  Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the
date of the Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this
section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and
determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a
statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for
compensation under this Section 2.6. Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the
<PAGE>

request of Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good
faith opinion of Bank) to compensate it for any reasonable loss, costs or
expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR
Rate Advance on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of
borrowing hereunder.

               (d)  If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation
of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its
applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital
adequacy of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person
or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent") as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved
but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be
material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Borrower
shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for
such reduction.

               (e)  If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion,
determines that:  (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Advances for periods equal to
the corresponding Interest Periods or any other period are not available to Bank
in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not
accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Advance, then Bank
shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such
notice Bank's obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Advances shall terminate, unless
Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to

material respects as of such date). The making of each Credit Extension shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such
Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section
3.2(b).

4.   CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

     4.1  Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a
continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or
arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all
Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its
covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.  Except as set forth in the
Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security
interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid,
first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.

     4.2  Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.  Borrower shall from
time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable
Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may
reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue
perfected Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

     4.3  Right to Inspect.  Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or
agents) shall have the right, as a condition to making any Credit Extensions and
thereafter from time to time, but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower's Books and to make
copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to
verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other
matter relating to, the Collateral.

5.   Representations and warranties.

     Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

     5.1  Due Organization and Qualification.  Borrower and each Subsidiary is a
corporation duly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and
qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified except
where the failure to be so qualified and licensed will not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
<PAGE>

     5.2  Due Authorization; No Conflict.  The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been duly
authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will
they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which
Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default
under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which
default is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.3  No Prior Encumbrances.  Borrower has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

     5.4  Bona Fide Accounts.  The Accounts are bona fide existing obligations.
The property giving rise to such Accounts has been delivered to the account
debtor or to the account debtor's agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor.

     5.5  Merchantable Inventory.  All Inventory is in all material respects of
good and marketable quality, free from all material defects.

     5.6  Intellectual Property.  Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual
Property, except for (i) non-exclusive licenses granted by Borrower to its
customers or other third parties in the ordinary course of business, (ii) the
joint ownership rights provided for under one or more joint venture agreements
with Applied Materials Incorporated, and (iii) cross-licensing agreements
entered into from time to time in connection with strategic relationships
approved by Borrower's Board of Directors.  To Borrower's best knowledge, each
of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual
Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and
except as disclosed in the Schedule no claim has been made that any part of the
Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party.  Borrower's rights
as a licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to more than twenty
percent (20%) of its gross revenue in any given quarter, including without
limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of
any product or service.  Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower is not a
party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts the grant by Borrower of a
security interest in Borrower's rights under such agreement.

     5.7  Name; Location of Chief Executive Office.  Except as disclosed in the
Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other than that
specified on the signature page hereof.  The chief executive office of Borrower
is located at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof.

     5.8  Litigation.  Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions
or proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court
or administrative agency in which an adverse decision is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.9  No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.  All consolidated
financial statements other than projections related to Borrower and any
Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material
respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations for the period then ended.  There
has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank.

     5.10 Solvency, Payment of Debts.  Borrower is solvent and able to pay its
debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

     5.11 Regulatory Compliance.  Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans
subject to ERISA.  No event has occurred resulting from Borrower's failure to
comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's incurring
any liability that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System).  Borrower has complied in all material
respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to
it, violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
<PAGE>

     5.12 Environmental Condition.  Except as disclosed in the Schedule, none of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has ever been used by
Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous
owners or operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat,
release, or transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in
accordance with applicable law; to the best of Borrower's knowledge, none of
Borrower's properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any
manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or
hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any
environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental
protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal
property owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the
Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state or other
governmental agency concerning any action or omission by Borrower or any
Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise disposing of hazardous waste
or hazardous substances into the environment.

     5.13 Taxes.  Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed
all material tax returns required to be filed, and has paid, or has made
adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein, except those
contested in good faith.

     5.14 Subsidiaries.  Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest
or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.

     5.15 Government Consents.  Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all
consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary
for the continued operation of Borrower's business as currently conducted, the
failure to obtain which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.16 Full Disclosure.  No representation, warranty or other statement made
by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or
statements not misleading.

Subsidiaries' corporate existence in its jurisdiction of incorporation and
maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify

have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to
any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA.  Borrower shall comply, and shall

Collateral.

Obligations;

     8.2   Covenant Default.  If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under
Article 6 or violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this

between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under such other term,
provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to
cure such default within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower receives notice
thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided, however,
that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within such period or cannot
after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such period, and such
default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have
an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30)
days) or other longer period of time as agreed upon by Bank in writing to
attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure
to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (provided
that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

     8.3   Material Adverse Effect. If any circumstance arises that has or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     8.4   Attachment. If any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached,

not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed sale
thereunder, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by
court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business
affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any
material portion of Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or
assessment is filed of record with respect to any of Borrower's assets by the
United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof,
or by any state, county,
<PAGE>

municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within thirty (30)
days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing
shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an
adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided
that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

     8.5  Insolvency.  If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency
Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced
against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days (provided
that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency
Proceeding);

     8.6  Other Agreements.  If there is a default in any agreement to which
Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in the right by such
third party or parties whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of
any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or
that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     8.7  Subordinated Debt.  Except for payments to bondholders on the bonds

9.   Bank's Rights And Remedies.

     9.1  Rights and Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default when any Obligations are outstanding, Bank may, at its
election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more
of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

               (a)  Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank);

               (b)  Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;

               (c)  Require that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an
amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as
collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letter
of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii)
pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over
the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;

               (d)  Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably
considers advisable;

               (e)  Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers
necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral;

               (f)  Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i)
balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time
owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;
<PAGE>

               (g)  Dispose of the Collateral in accordance with the Code, and
apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems
appropriate;

               (h)  Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

               (i)  Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.

     9.2  Power of Attorney.  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default at any time that any Obligations are
outstanding, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's
designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney to:
(a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of
Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower's name on any
checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's
possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating
to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of
Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose
of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions
with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) to file, in its sole
discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments
thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower
where permitted by law; and (h) to dispose of the Collateral to the extent
permitted under the Code; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to
sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.  The appointment of Bank
as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights and
powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the
Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to
provide advances hereunder is terminated.

     9.3  Accounts Collection.  Bank may notify any Person owing funds to
Borrower of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such
Account.  Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive
in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments
to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.

     9.4  Bank Expenses.  If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any
required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under
the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after
reasonable notice to Borrower:  (a) make payment of the same or any part
thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c)
obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 66 of
this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems
prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank
Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the
then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the
Collateral.  Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank
to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default under this Agreement.

     9.5  Bank's Liability for Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or
responsible for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.  All risk
of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

     9.6  Remedies Cumulative.  Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.  Bank shall
have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under
the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy
shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on
Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Bank shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver by Bank shall
be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given.

     9.7  Demand; Protest.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or
renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at
any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
