      specified in a notice in writing to be given by the Lender to the Borrower

      (i)    On receipt of notice of conversion, the Borrower shall allot and
             issue the requisite number of fully paid-up equity shares to the
             Lender as from the date of conversion and the Lenders shall accept
             the same in satisfaction of the principal amount of the Loan to the
             extent so converted. The part of the Loan so converted shall cease
             to carry interest as from the date of conversion and the Loan shall
             stand correspondingly reduced. Upon such conversion, the
             instalments of the Loan payable after the date of conversion as per
             Schedule III hereto shall stand reduced proportionately by the
             amounts of the Loan so converted. The equity shares so allotted and
             issued to the Lender shall carry, from the date of conversion, the
             right to receive proportionately the dividends and other
             distributions declared or to be declared in respect of the equity
             capital of the Borrower. Save as aforesaid, the said shares shall
             rank pari passu with the existing equity shares of the Borrower in
             all respects. The Borrower shall, at all times, maintain sufficient
             unissued equity shares for the above purpose.

      (ii)   The conversion right reserved as aforesaid may be exercised by the
             Lender on one or more occasions during the currency of the Loan on
             the happening of the event specified above.

      (iii)  The Borrower assures and undertakes that in the event of the Lender
             exercising the right of conversion as aforesaid, the Borrower shall
             get the equity shares which will be issued to the Lender as a
             result of the conversion, listed with the Bombay and Bangalore
             Stock Exchanges and those Stock Exchange(s) where the Borrowers
             shares are listed.

3.1   SECURITY FOR THE LOAN

(A)   The Loan together with all interest, liquidated damages, premia on
      prepayment or on redemption, costs, expenses and other monies whatsoever
      stipulated in this Agreement shall be secured by an exclusive charge by
      way of hypothecation in favour of the Lender of all the Borrower's
      moveables (save and except book debts), including movable machinery,
      machinery spares, tools and accessories, present and future, acquired/to
      be acquired by the Borrower out of the Loan and approved by the Lender, so
      as to create security adequate enough to maintain a security margin of at
      least 25% on the assets charged to the Lender as security for the Loan
      i.e. maintain a fixed assets coverage ratio of at least 1.33 times on the
      outstanding amount of the Loan, throughout the currency of the Loan.

      The Borrower shall furnish letters from the existing chargeholders, if
      any, giving their No-objection for creation of exclusive charge in favour
      of the Lender on the assets charged/to be charged to the Lender and
      confirming that their charges will not extend to such assets.

3.2   CREATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITY

      If, at any time during the subsistence of this Agreement, the Lender is of
      the opinion that the security provided by the Borrower has become
      inadequate to cover the balance of the Loan then outstanding, then, on the
      Lender advising the Borrower to that effect, the Borrower shall provide
      and furnish to the Lender, to the satisfaction of the Lender such
      additional security as may be acceptable to the Lender to cover such
      deficiency.

3.3   AUDITOR'S CERTIFICATE

      The Borrower shall produce a certificate from its Auditors stating that
      the assets charged/to be charged to the Lender as security for the Loan
      are the absolute property of the Borrower and are free from any charge,
      lien or claim thereon, of whatsoever nature.

Lender shall be entitled to appoint and withdraw from time to time one Director
on the Board of Directors of the Borrower at any time during the currency of
this Agreement.

       committees with such powers and functions as may be considered suitable
       by ICICI. The Company shall comply with all such requirements of ICICI.

(iii)  CONVERSION RIGHT IN CASE OF DEFAULT

(a)(1) If the Facility is denominated in Rupees, in the event the Company
       commits a default in payment or repayment of two consecutive instalments
       of principal amounts of the Facility or interest thereon or any
       combination thereof, then ICICI shall have the right to convert (which
       right is hereinafter referred to as "the conversion right") at its option
       the whole or part of the outstanding amount of the Facility (whether then
       due and payable or not), into fully paid-up equity shares of the Company,
       at par from the date (which date is hereinafter referred to as the "date
       of conversion") and in the manner specified in a notice in writing to be
       given by ICICI to the Company (which notice is hereinafter referred to as
       "the notice of conversion").

(a)(2) If the Facility is denominated in foreign currencies, in the event the
       Company commits a default in payment or repayment of any instalment of
       principal amounts of the Facility or interest thereon, then ICICI shall
       have the right to convert (which right is hereinafter referred to as "the
       conversion right") at its option the Rupee equivalent of the whole or
       part of the outstanding amount of the Facility (whether then due and
       payable or not), into fully paid-up equity shares of the Company, at par
       from the date (which date is hereinafter referred to as the "date of
       conversion") and in the manner specified in a notice in writing to be
       given by ICICI to the Company (which notice is hereinafter referred to as
       "the notice of conversion").

       Provided however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
       in Sub-clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) above, in the event the principal amount
       of the Facility is repayable in one instalment, ICICI shall be entitled
       to exercise the conversion right if the Company defaults in repayment of
       such instalment of principal amounts of the Facility or in payment of any
       interest thereon.

(b)    The conversion right reserved as aforesaid may be exercised by ICICI on
       one or more occasions during the currency of the Facility on the

       requisite number of fully paid-up equity shares to ICICI as from the date
       of conversion and

<PAGE>

       ICICI shall accept the same in satisfaction of the part of the Facility
       so converted. The part of the Facility so converted shall cease to carry
       interest as from the date of conversion and the Facility shall stand
       correspondingly reduced. Upon such conversion, the instalments of the
       Facility payable after the date of conversion as per the Facility
       Agreement shall stand reduced proportionately by the amounts of the
       Facility so converted. The equity shares so allotted and issued to ICICI
       shall carry, from the date of conversion, the right to receive
       proportionately the dividends and other distributions declared or to be
       declared in respect of the equity capital of the Company. Save as
       aforesaid, the said shares shall rank pari passu with the existing equity
       shares of the Company in all respects. The Company shall, at all times,
       maintain sufficient un-issued equity shares for the above purpose.

(d)    In the event of ICICI exercising the conversion right as aforesaid, the
       Company shall at its cost get the equity shares, issued to ICICI as a
       result of the conversion, listed with such Stock Exchanges as may be
       prescribed by ICICI.

(iv)   APPOINTMENT OF TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT

       ICICI shall have the right to appoint, whenever it considers necessary,

       business to inspect and examine the working of the Company and its assets
       including its premises, factories and facilities and to report to ICICI.
       ICICI shall also have the right to appoint, whenever it considers
       necessary, any Chartered Accountants/Cost Accountants as auditors for
       carrying out any specific assignments or to examine the financial or cost
       accounting system and procedures adopted by the Company for its working
       or as concurrent or internal auditors, or for conducting a special audit
       of the Company. The costs, charges and expenses including professional
       fees and travelling and other expenses of such consultants or auditors
       shall be borne and payable by the Company.

       Company.

       has not availed of or drawn from the Facility by the date referred to in

       then, in such event, ICICI may, by notice in writing to the Company:

       i)     suspend further access by the Company to the use of the Facility
              under the Facility Agreement. The right of the Company to avail of
              or make drawals from the Facility shall continue to be suspended
              until ICICI has notified the Company that the right to avail of or
              make drawals from the Facility has been restored; or

       ii)    terminate the right of the Company to avail of or make drawals
              from the Facility. Upon such notice, the unutilised amount of the
              Facility shall stand cancelled.

B.     If the Facility is denominated in foreign currencies, in the event ICICI
       is, for any reason, denied further access to their loan facility from the
       Foreign Lending Agency, ICICI may by notice in writing to the Company,
       terminate the right of the Company to make withdrawals. Upon such notice,
       the undrawn amount of the Facility shall stand cancelled.

C.     Notwithstanding any suspension or termination pursuant to Sub-clauses (A)
       or (B) above, all the provisions of the Facility Agreement for the
