Agreement, on and after the Closing Date to but not including the date that is
the earlier of (x) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 10. and (y) the date on which IBM Credit terminates the Credit Line

line ("Credit Line") in the amount set forth in Attachment A pursuant to which
IBM Credit will make to the Customer, from time to time, Advances in an

Amount.

2.2. A/R Advances. (A) Whenever Customer shall desire IBM Credit to provide an
A/R Advance, Customer shall deliver to IBM Credit written notice of Customer's
request for such an Advance ("Request for A/R Advance"). For any requested A/R
Advance pursuant to which monies will be disbursed to Customer or any Person
other than IBM Credit, a Request for A/R Advance shall be delivered to IBM
Credit on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (eastern time) one Business Day prior to the
requested A/R Advance Date. The Request for A/R Advance shall specify (i) the

Customer may deliver a Request for A/R Advance via facsimile. Any Request for
A/R Advance delivered to IBM Credit shall be irrevocable.

     (B) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the A/R

principal amount of each A/R Advance available to the Customer in immediately
available funds to an account maintained by Customer (or in the case of a

apply the proceeds of the A/R Advance to such repayment and only an amount equal
to the difference, if

<PAGE>

any, between the amount of the A/R Advance and the amount being repaid shall be
made available to Customer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

     (C) Each A/R Advance shall accrue a finance charge on the Average Daily
Balance thereof, from and including the date of each A/R Advance to and
including the date such A/R Advance is paid by Customer to IBM Credit, at a per
annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) the finance charge set forth in Attachment
A to this Agreement under the caption "A/R Finance Charge" for such type of A/R
Advance, and (b) the highest rate from time to time permitted by applicable law.
If it is determined that amounts received from the Customer were in excess of
such highest rate, then the amount representing such excess shall be considered
reductions to principal of Advances.

     (D) Unless otherwise due and payable at an earlier date, the unpaid
principal amount of each A/R Advance, other than a Takeout Advance, shall be due
and payable on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, a Takeout Advance may only be requested on the Closing Date and such
Takeout Advance shall be limited to an amount sufficient to discharge the
indebtedness that is the subject of a Takeout Advance.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a Takeout Advance shall be due pursuant to
the Schedule of Repayments in Attachment D to this Agreement.

2.3. Finance and Other Charges. (A) Finance charges for an Advance for a
calendar month shall be equal to (i) one twelfth (1/12) of the applicable A/R
Finance Charge multiplied by (ii) the Average Daily Balance of such Advance for
the period when such finance charge accrues during such calendar month
multiplied by (iii) the actual number of days during such calendar month when
such finance charge accrues divided by (iv) thirty (30).

Late charges pursuant to subsection (D) of this Section 2.4 for an Advance for a
calendar month shall be equal to (i) one twelfth (1/12) of the Delinquency Fee
Rate multiplied by (ii) the Average Daily Balance of such Advance for the period
when such Advance is past due during such calendar month multiplied by (iii) the
actual number of days during such calendar month when such Advance is past due
divided by (iv) thirty (30).

     (B) The Customer hereby agrees to pay to IBM Credit the charges set forth
as "Other Charges" in Attachment A. The Customer also agrees to pay IBM Credit
additional charges for any returned items of payment received by IBM Credit. The
Customer hereby acknowledges that any such charges are not interest but that
such charges, if unpaid, will constitute part of the Outstanding Advances.

     (C) The finance charges and Other Charges owed under this Agreement, and
any charges hereafter agreed to in writing by the parties, are payable monthly
on receipt of IBM Credit's bill or statement therefor or IBM Credit may, in its

     (D) If any amount owed under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
any Advance, is not paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), the unpaid amount thereof will bear a late charge from and including
the day after such Advance was due and payable to and including the date IBM
Credit receives payment thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a)
the amount set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement as the "Delinquency Fee
Rate" and (b) the highest rate from time to time permitted by applicable law. In
addition, if any Shortfall Amount shall not be paid when due pursuant to Section
2.6 hereof, Customer shall pay IBM Credit a Shortfall Transaction Fee. If it is
determined that amounts received from Customer were in excess of such highest
rate, then the amount representing such excess shall be considered reductions to
principal of Advances.

2.4. Customer Account Statements. IBM Credit will send statements of each
transaction hereunder as well as monthly billing statements to Customer with
respect to Advances and other charges due on Customer's account with IBM Credit.
Each statement of transaction and monthly billing statement shall be deemed,
absent manifest error, to be correct and shall constitute an account stated with
respect to each transaction or amount described therein unless within seven (7)
Business Days after such statement of transaction or billing statement is
received by Customer, Customer provides IBM Credit written notice objecting that
such amount or transaction is incorrectly described therein and specifying the
error(s), if any, contained therein. IBM Credit may at any time adjust such
statements of transaction or billing statements to comply with applicable law
and this Agreement.

2.5. Shortfall. If, on any date, the Outstanding Advances shall exceed the
Maximum Advance Amount (such excess, the "Shortfall Amount"), then the Customer
shall on such date prepay the Outstanding Advances in an amount equal to such
Shortfall Amount.

2.6. Application of Payments. The Customer hereby agrees that all checks and
other instruments delivered to IBM Credit on account of Customer's Obligations
shall constitute conditional payment until such items are actually collected by
IBM Credit. The Customer waives the right to direct the application of any and
all payments at any time or times hereafter received by IBM Credit on account of
the Customer's Obligations. Customer agrees that IBM Credit shall have the
continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments to
Customer's Obligations in such manner as IBM Credit may deem advisable
notwithstanding any entry by IBM Credit upon any of its books and records.

2.7. Prepayment and Reborrowing By Customer. (A) On or after the first
anniversary of this Agreement, Customer may at any time prepay, without notice
or penalty, in whole or in part amounts owed under this Agreement. IBM Credit
may apply payments made to it (whether by the Customer or otherwise) to pay
finance charges and other amounts owing under this Agreement first and then to
the principal amount owed by the Customer.

     (B) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any amount
prepaid or repaid to IBM Credit in respect to the Outstanding Advances may be
reborrowed by Customer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

of proceeds of the Advances hereunder.

3.3. Lockbox and Special Account. Customer shall establish and maintain
lockbox(es) (each, a "Lockbox") at the address(es) set forth in Attachment A
with the financial institution(s) listed in Attachment A (each, a "Bank")
pursuant to an agreement between the Customer and each Bank in form and

respect of the Accounts into the Special Account(s) or permit any commingling of

Without limiting the Customer's foregoing obligations, if, at any time, Customer
receives a remittance directly from an Account debtor, then Customer shall make
entries on its books and records in a manner that shall reasonably identify such
remittances and shall keep a separate account on its record books of all
remittances so received and deposit the same into a Special Account. Until so
deposited into the Special Account, Customer shall keep all remittances received
in respect of Accounts separate and apart from Customer's other property so that
they are capable of identification as the proceeds of Accounts in which IBM
Credit has a security interest.

and

     (O) take control in any manner of any term of payment or proceeds and for
such purpose to notify the postal authorities to change the address for delivery
of mail addressed to Customer to such address as IBM Credit may designate.

The power of attorney granted by this Section is for value and coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable so long as this Agreement is in effect or any
Obligations remain outstanding. Nothing done by IBM Credit pursuant to such
power of attorney will reduce any of Customer's Obligations other than
Customer's payment Obligations to the extent IBM Credit has received monies.

3.7. Concentration Accounts. Without limiting IBM Credit's other rights, IBM
Credit reserves the right to, from time to time in its sole discretion, modify
the percentage of the amount of Customer's Concentration Accounts used in

Default which has not been waived in writing by IBM Credit, IBM Credit may, in
its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice
to any other rights it may have at law or under this Agreement to enforce its
claims against the Customer: (a) declare all Obligations to be immediately due
and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in Section

immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or other demand)
without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of IBM
Credit; and (b) immediately terminate the Credit Line hereunder.

9.3. Remedies. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default which has not been waived in writing by IBM Credit, IBM Credit may
exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, IBM Credit may: (i) remove from any
premises where same may be located any and all documents, instruments, files and
records (including the copying of any computer records), and

                                 Page 33 of 41
<PAGE>

any receptacles or cabinets containing same, relating to the Accounts, or IBM
Credit may use (at the expense of the Customer) such of the supplies or space of
the Customer at Customer's place of business or otherwise, as may be necessary
to properly administer and control the Accounts or the handling of collections
and realizations thereon; (ii) bring suit, in the name of the Customer or IBM
Credit and generally shall have all other rights respecting said Accounts,

sell, assign and deliver the Accounts and any returned, reclaimed or repossessed
merchandise, with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash,
on credit or otherwise, at IBM Credit's sole option and discretion, and IBM
Credit may bid or become a purchaser at any such sale; and (iv) foreclose the
security interests created pursuant to this Agreement by any available judicial
procedure, or to take possession of any or all of the Collateral without
judicial process and to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located
for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same.

     (B) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
which has not been waived in writing by IBM Credit, IBM Credit shall have the
right to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral,
whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in the
name of Customer or IBM Credit, or in the name of such other party as IBM Credit
may designate, either at public or private sale or at any broker's board, in
lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or
representations, and upon such other terms and conditions as IBM Credit in its
sole discretion may deem advisable, and IBM Credit shall have the right to
purchase at any such sale.

If IBM Credit, in its sole discretion determines that any of the Collateral
requires rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, IBM Credit shall
have the right, at its option, to do such of the aforesaid as it deems necessary
for the purpose of putting such Collateral in such saleable form as IBM Credit
shall deem appropriate. The Customer hereby agrees that any disposition by IBM
Credit of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of a
repurchase agreement between IBM Credit and the manufacturer or any supplier
(including any Authorized Supplier) of such Collateral constitutes a
commercially reasonable sale. The Customer agrees, at the request of IBM Credit,
to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to IBM Credit at places
which IBM Credit shall select, whether at the premises of the Customer or
elsewhere, and to make available to IBM Credit the premises and facilities of
the Customer for the purpose of IBM Credit's taking possession of, removing or
putting such Collateral in saleable form. If notice of intended disposition of
any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) Business Days
notice shall constitute reasonable notification.

     (C) Unless expressly prohibited by the licensor thereof, if any, IBM Credit
is hereby granted, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default which has not been waived in writing by IBM Credit, an irrevocable,
non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense all computer
software programs, data bases, processes and materials used by the Customer in
its businesses or in connection with any of the Collateral.

                                 Page 34 of 41
<PAGE>

     (D) The net cash proceeds resulting from IBM Credit's exercise of any of
the foregoing rights (after deducting all charges, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied by IBM Credit to the payment of
Customer's Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as IBM
Credit may in it sole discretion elect. Customer shall remain liable to IBM
Credit for any deficiencies, and IBM Credit in turn agrees to remit to Customer
or its successors or assigns, any surplus resulting therefrom.

     (E) The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended to be
exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any
other rights, all of which shall be cumulative.

9.4. Waiver. If IBM Credit seeks to take possession of any of the Collateral by
any court process Customer hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by
applicable law any bonds, surety and security relating thereto required by any
statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession and any
demand for possession of the Collateral prior to the commencement of any suit or
action to recover possession thereof. In addition, Customer waives to the extent
permitted by applicable law all rights of set-off it may have against IBM
Credit. Customer further waives to the extent permitted by applicable law
presentment, demand and protest, and notices of non-payment, non-performance,
any right of contribution, dishonor, and any other demands, and notices required
by law.

                            Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1. Term; Termination. (A) This Agreement shall remain in force until the
earlier of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date specified in a written notice
by the Customer that they intend to terminate this Agreement which date shall be
no less than ninety (90) days following the receipt by IBM Credit of such
written notice, and (iii) termination by IBM Credit after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the date that this Agreement
is terminated, all of Customer's Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable in their entirety, notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement.

     (B) Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of Customer's
Obligations, no termination of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents
shall in any way affect or impair (i) Customer's Obligations to IBM Credit
including, without limitation, any transaction or event occurring prior to and
after such termination, or (ii) IBM Credit's rights hereunder, including,
without limitation IBM Credit's security interest in the Collateral. On and
after a Termination Date, IBM Credit may, but shall not be obligated to, upon
the request of Customer, continue to provide Advances hereunder.

10.2. Indemnification. The Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
IBM Credit and each of its officers, directors, agents and assigns
(collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs now or hereinafter arising from the enforcement of this Agreement, the
"Losses") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise
out of or are based upon any event, circumstance or condition (a) occurring or
existing on or

                                 Page 35 of 41
<PAGE>

before the date of this Agreement relating to any financing arrangements IBM
Credit may from time to time have with (i) Customer, (ii) any Person that shall
be acquired by Customer or (iii) any Person that Customer may acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of, or (b) directly or indirectly, relating to
the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or to any of the Collateral or
to any act or omission of the Customer in connection therewith. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Customer shall not be obligated to indemnify IBM Credit for
any Losses incurred by IBM Credit which are a result of IBM Credit's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity provided herein shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

10.3. Additional Obligations. IBM Credit, without waiving or releasing any
Obligation or Default of the Customer, may perform any Obligations of the
Customer that the Customer shall fail or refuse to perform and IBM Credit may,
at any time or times hereafter, but shall be under no obligation to do so, pay,
acquire or accept any assignment of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or
claim against the Collateral asserted by any person. All sums paid by IBM Credit
in performing in satisfaction or on account of the foregoing and any expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other charges relating
thereto, shall be a part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by
the Collateral.

10.4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER IBM CREDIT NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED
PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, ANY DELAY, OMISSION OR ERROR IN THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
OR RECEIPT OF ANY E-DOCUMENT, OR ANY CLAIMS IN ANY MANNER RELATED THERETO. NOR
SHALL IBM CREDIT OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT OR THEM
HEREUNDER, EXCEPT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
IN THE EVENT CUSTOMER REQUESTS IBM CREDIT TO EFFECT A WITHDRAWAL OR DEBIT OF
FUNDS FROM AN ACCOUNT OF CUSTOMER, THEN IN NO EVENT SHALL IBM CREDIT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF ANY AMOUNT INCORRECTLY DEBITED, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT
OF IBM CREDIT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE
FOR ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-DOCUMENT,
WHERE SUCH FAILURE RESULTS FROM ANY ACT OF GOD OR OTHER CAUSE BEYOND SUCH
PARTY'S REASONABLE CONTROL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY MECHANICAL,
ELECTRONIC OR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE) WHICH PREVENTS SUCH PARTY FROM
TRANSMITTING OR RECEIVING E-DOCUMENTS.

10.5. Alteration/Waiver. This Agreement and the Other Documents may not be
altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Customer and
by IBM Credit. No delay or omission of IBM Credit to exercise any right or
remedy hereunder, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, shall impair any such right or remedy or shall operate as a waiver
thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. In the event that IBM

                                 Page 36 of 41
<PAGE>

Credit at any time or from time to time dispenses with any one or more of the
requirements specified in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, such
dispensation may be revoked by IBM Credit at any time and shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any such requirement subsequent thereto. IBM Credit's
failure at any time or times to require strict compliance and performance by the
Customer of any undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and
representations of this Agreement or any Other Document shall not waive, affect
or diminish any right of IBM Credit thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance thereof. Any waiver by IBM Credit of any Default by the Customer
under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents shall not waive or affect any
other Default by the Customer under this Agreement or any of the Other
Documents, whether such Default is prior or subsequent to such other Default and
whether of the same or a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements,
warranties, covenants, and representations of the Customer contained in this
Agreement or the Other Documents and no Default by the Customer shall be deemed
waived by IBM Credit unless such waiver is in writing signed by an authorized
representative of IBM Credit.

10.6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents or
the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the Other Documents and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be
affected thereby, the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents being
severable in any such instance.

10.7. One Loan. All Advances heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter
made by IBM Credit to the Customer under this Agreement or the Other Documents
shall constitute one loan secured by IBM Credit's security interests in the
Collateral and by all other security interests, liens and encumbrances
heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter granted by the Customer to IBM
Credit or any assignor of IBM Credit.

10.8. Additional Collateral. All monies, reserves and proceeds received or
collected by IBM Credit with respect to Accounts and other property of the
Customer in possession of IBM Credit at any time or times hereafter are hereby
pledged by Customer to IBM Credit as security for the payment of Customer's
Obligations and shall be applied promptly by IBM Credit on account of the
Customer's Obligations; provided, however, IBM Credit may release to the
Customer such portions of such monies, reserves and proceeds as IBM Credit may
from time to time determine, in its sole discretion.

10.9. No Merger or Novations. Neither the obtaining of any judgment nor the
exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall operate to extinguish the
Obligations of the Customer to IBM Credit secured by this Agreement and shall
not operate as a merger of any covenant in this Agreement, and the acceptance of
any payment or alternate security shall not constitute or create a novation and
the obtaining of a judgment or judgments under a covenant herein contained shall
not operate as a merger of that covenant or affect IBM Credit's rights under
this Agreement.

10.10. Paragraph Titles. The Section titles used in this Agreement and the Other
Documents are for convenience only and do not define or limit the contents of
any Section.

10.11. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and the Other Documents shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of IBM Credit and the Customer and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, that the Customer shall have
no right to assign this Agreement or any of the Other Documents without the
prior written consent of IBM Credit.

10.12. Notices; E-Business Acknowledgment. (A) Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any notice required or desired to be served, given
or delivered hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been
validly served, given or delivered (i) upon receipt if deposited in the United
States mails, first class mail, with proper postage prepaid, (ii) upon receipt
of confirmation or answerback if sent by telecopy, or other similar facsimile
transmission, (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight
courier with all charges prepaid, or (iv) when delivered, if hand-delivered by
messenger, all of which shall be properly addressed to the party to be notified
and sent to the address or number indicated as follows:

   (i) If to IBM Credit at:               (ii) If to Customer at:

or to such other address or number as each party designates to the other in the
manner prescribed herein.

     (B) (i) Each party may electronically transmit to or receive from the other
party certain documents set forth in Attachment I ("E-Documents") via the
Internet or electronic data interchange ("EDI"). Any transmission of data which
is not an E-Document shall have no force or effect between the parties. EDI
transmissions may be sent directly or through any third party service provider
("Provider") with which either party may contract. Each party shall be liable
for the acts or omissions of its Provider while handling E-Documents for such
party, provided, that if both parties use the same Provider, the originating
party shall be liable for the acts or omissions of such Provider as to such
E-Document. Some information to be made available to Customer will be specific
to Customer and will require Customer's registration with IBM Credit before
access is provided. After IBM Credit has approved the registration submitted by
Customer, IBM Credit shall provide an ID and password(s) to an individual
designated by Customer ("Customer Recipient"). Customer accepts responsibility
for the designated individual's distribution of the ID and password(s) within
its organization and Customer will take reasonable measures to ensure that
passwords are not shared or disclosed to unauthorized individuals. Customer will
conduct an annual review of all IDs and passwords to ensure they are accurate
and properly authorized. IBM CREDIT MAY CHANGE OR DISCONTINUE USE OF AN ID OR
PASSWORD AT ITS DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. E-Documents shall not be deemed to have
been properly received, and no E-Document shall give rise to any obligation,
until accessible to the receiving party at such party's receipt computer at the
address specified herein. Upon proper receipt of an

                                 Page 38 of 41
<PAGE>

E-Document, the receiving party shall promptly transmit a functional
acknowledgment in return. A functional acknowledgment shall constitute
conclusive evidence that an E-Document has been properly received. If any
transmitted E-Document is received in an unintelligible or garbled form, the
receiving party shall promptly notify the originating party in a reasonable
manner. In the absence of such a notice, the originating party's records of the
contents of such E-Document shall control.

(ii) Each party shall use those security procedures which are reasonably
sufficient to ensure that all transmissions of E-Documents are authorized and to
protect its business records and data from improper access. Any E-Document
received pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall have the same effect as if the
contents of the E-Document had been sent in paper rather than electronic form.
The conduct of the parties pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall, for all legal
purposes, evidence a course of dealing and a course of performance accepted by
the parties. The parties agree not to contest the validity or enforceability of
E-Documents under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether
certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound
thereby. The parties agree, as to any E-Document accompanied by the Customer's
ID, that IBM Credit can reasonably rely on the fact that such E-Document is
properly authorized by Customer. E-Documents, if introduced as evidence on paper
in any judicial, arbitration, mediation or administrative proceedings, will be
admissible as between the parties to the same extent and under the same
conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary
form. Neither party shall contest the admissibility of copies of E-Documents
under either the business records exception to the hearsay rule or the best
evidence rule on the basis that the E-Documents were not originated or
maintained in documentary form.

Clause Sheet - conditions of credit facility

This sheet of clauses form part of our offer dated

to:

Clauses

1.   The credit facility which is described in more detail in the attached
     letter and all further credit facilities or any increases therein which the
     bank may make available to the borrower shall, in so far as no other
     provision is made in this respect, be governed by the following provisions
     as well as the General Conditions, drawn up and filed by the Nederlands
     Vereniging van Banken (Netherlands Bankers' Association) with the Registry
     of the District Court at Amsterdam, a copy of which the borrower
     acknowledges he has received.

2.   With regard to the current account credit facility, the bank reserves the
     right at all times to alter the percentage of the debit interest, credit
     interest and commissions, as well as, if special circumstances or special
     credit facilities - including any withdrawal beyond the credit limit -
     necessitate this, to charge the rates which it customarily applies.

3.   The current account credit facility may at all times be ended by the bank
     either orally or in writing or be reduced by such sums as the bank may
     specify. As a consequence of the termination of the credit facility, the
     balance of the account(s) (or, in the case of a lowering of the credit
     limit, the sum owed above the new limit) shall be immediately due and
     payable and payment orders of the borrower will be executed only if and in
     so far as the account shows a sufficient balance for this purpose. The
     provisions of this paragraph shall also apply if a special arrangement for
     repayment or reduction of the credit facility is agreed.

4.   If the amount of a loan with a fixed rate of interest is not or not
     entirely withdrawn within 5 weeks of the date of the offer, the bank may,
     but is not obliged to, then disburse to the borrower the undrawn portion of
     the loan without any further instruction from the borrower being required.

5.   If a fixed interest rate applies, the bank will make a written proposal to
     the borrower, no later than two weeks before the end of the agreed
     fixed-interest period, for an interest rate that will apply during the next
     fixed-interest period. If the bank and the borrower have not reached
     agreement on the interest rate by the last day of a fixed-interest period
     at the latest, the borrower shall be obliged to pay everything which he
     owes to the bank under the loan on the last day of the fixed-interest
     period. If the borrower has not reacted to the written proposal of the bank
     by the last day of the previous fixed-interest period at the latest, the
     borrower will be deemed to have agreed to the interest rate that has been
     offered.

6.   If the borrower wishes to make a repayment earlier than agreed or to repay
     a sum that is larger than agreed or if the borrower wishes to make an early
     repayment or a larger repayment without this having been agreed - even if
     such repayments is made pursuant to the provisions of clause 7 below the
     borrower shall pay the present value of the interest which the bank could
     have received during the remainder of the fixed-interest period if the
     early repayment had not taken place, less the interest which the bank could
     have received on the interbank market on loans which are equal in size to
     the early repayment and are equal in term to the remaining fixed-interest
     period, subject always to a minimum of 1% of the early repayment. The
     present value of the interest will be calculated at the rate which the bank
     could obtain on the interbank market.

7.   The balance of the current account credit facility and the entire amount of
     the medium-term loan or such part of it as has not yet been repaid,
     together with outstanding and accrued interest and any commission and
     penalties due, shall be immediately due and payable in fall, without any
     notice of default either by way of writ or similar instrument being
     required, in the following circumstances:
<PAGE>

     a.   if the borrower is declared bankrupt, files a bankruptcy petition,
          applies for a suspension of payment of debts or offers a private
          composition to his creditors, or if one or more of the sureties or
          jointly and severally liable debtors or one or more of the (legal)
          persons who have provided security in rem are declared bankrupt or
          obtain a suspension of payment of debts;

     b.   if property of the borrower and/or his spouse is seized by way of
          preliminary relief pending suit or by way of execution or if goods of
          third parties which have been provided by such third parties as
          security for the loan are seized;

     c.   if the borrower fails to perform any duty or obligation owed to the
          bank under this agreement or under any other agreement concluded with
          the bank, whether or not in connection herewith, or fails to do so
          fully or in good time, or if repayment of a loan granted by the bank
          to an enterprise forming part of the group to which the borrower
          belongs is demanded;

     d.   if the business or professional activities of the borrower are
          discontinued or substantially changed or if the borrower merges with
          or is taken over by a third party, or if the borrower's business is
          split up in any way, or if a decision to this effect is taken by the
          borrower,

     e.   if the borrower (being a partnership, civil partnership or limited
          partnership or a legal person) is discontinued or wound up or if any
          decision to this effect is taken, or if the borrower (being a natural
          person) dies, loses the unfettered control of his assets, waives his
          rights to his assets or settles abroad;

     f.   if, where the borrower is a partnership, civil partnership or limited
          partnership or a legal person, the partners or the composition of the
          management changes, or the partnership deed or the articles of
          association or regulations of a legal person are, in the opinion of
          the bank, amended in such a way that the bank would not have concluded
          the agreement or would not have concluded it on the same conditions,
          unless it approved the amendment in writing;

     g.   if a declaration or statement made by or on behalf of the borrower is
          contrary to the truth, a circumstance of importance to the bank has
          been concealed, the security provided for this loan is null and void,
          voidable or not of the required rank, or a promised security is not
          provided in time or lapses prematurely;

     h.   if the legal or beneficial entitlement to the security provided is
          changed or if any real right relating to the security provided is
          created or lost;

     i.   if, in the opinion of the bank, there are good grounds for believing
          that the sum owed by the borrower under this agreement and/or any
          other agreement concluded with the bank will not be recoverable;

     j.   if the borrower uses either all or part of this credit facility to
          obtain interest profits (or to conduct interest-rate arbitrage) by
          affecting transactions which cannot be regarded as being part of his
          normal business.

8.   The bank shall be entitled to debit the borrower's current account for the
     payment of principal, interest, commission, costs, penalties and the like
     at the times which have been agreed for this purpose with the bank or are
     customary for the bank. The borrower waives (in advance) his right of
     set-off in respect of the said payments.

9.   If the credit facility is granted to two or more (legal) persons, they
     shall be jointly and severally liable to the bank. Each jointly and
     severally liable debtor shall subordinate any provisional claim which he
     has on account of the right of recourse and/or subrogation against another
     jointly and severally liable debtor to all present and future claims which
     the bank has against that other debtor on any account whatsoever.
<PAGE>

     Postponement of payment, discharge from joint and several liability and
     waiver for no consideration or waiver for consideration which the bank
     grants to one of the jointly and severally liable debtors or an offer of
     waiver for no consideration or for consideration which the bank makes to
     one of the jointly and severally liable debtors shall concern only that one
     debtor.

10.  At the first written and reasoned request of the bank, the borrower shall
     provide the bank at all times with such security as cover for his existing
     and future obligations as the bank requires and considers appropriate.

11.  As additional security for the repayment or return of everything which the
     borrower owes the bank now or at any time in the future on any account
     whatsoever, the borrower pledges - in so far as necessary in advance - to
     the bank, which accepts such pledge, everything which the bank may now, or
     at any time in the future, owe the borrower on any ground whatsoever. In so
     far as necessary, the bank declares that in its capacity of debtor in
     respect of the claims it has been informed of the pledge. Said pledge is
     governed by article 18 of the General Conditions.

12.  If the credit facility is discontinued and the debit balance on the
     account(s) has not been cleared, the borrower shall be bound to pay the
     bank debit interest and commission on said debit balance up to the date of
     full and final settlement, in accordance with the provisions of this
     agreement.

13.  The borrower shall at all times allow the bank, or such persons as are
     designated by it, to inspect his books and shall also provide all
     information which may be required. The borrower shall also supply the bank
     with a copy of his balance sheet and profit and loss account each year
     within six months of the end of the financial year, unless a different
     frequency or a different date of submission has been agreed.

14.  The extract from its books, as prepared and signed by the bank, shall serve
     as complete proof of the existence and the amount of the debt owed by the
     borrower to the bank, unless the borrower produces evidence to the
     contrary.

15.  The borrower shall not bind himself as a surety or as a co-debtor having
     joint and several liability without the prior knowledge of the bank.

16.  The borrower shall whenever possible channel his financial transactions
     through the bank.

17.  The borrower shall ensure to use now and in the future, also on and after
     December 31, 1999, (computer) equipment - including both hardware and
     software - which will enable him (to continue) to conduct his business
     properly.

18.  Any costs, such as all judicial or extra-judicial costs, incurred at any
     time under the agreements made with the bank, shall be for the account of
     the borrower. The aforementioned costs shall be paid by the borrower at the
     bank's first quarter.

N.B. In the event of a discrepancy between this translation and the Dutch
original, the latter shall prevail.
