a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT B. Lender

Notice of Borrowing. Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on
instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become
due. Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Lender
believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Lender
for any loss Lender suffers due to that reliance.

         2.2. INTEREST RATE; PAYMENTS.

         Interest on the Committed Line is payable on the Maturity Date.
Advances under the Committed Line accrue interest on the outstanding principal
balance in accordance with the Promissory Note.

         2.3. DEFAULT INTEREST. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue
interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Interest is computed on a 360-day

Lender the Warrant.

         2.5. LENDER EXPENSES. Borrower will pay to Lender all Lender Expenses

due.

         2.6. HIGHEST LAWFUL RATE. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if during any period for which interest is computed hereunder,
the applicable interest rate, together with all fees, charges and other payments
which are treated as interest under applicable law, as provided for herein or in
any other Loan Document, would exceed the maximum rate of interest which may be
charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by Lender in connection
with this Agreement under applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"), Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay, and Lender shall not be entitled to charge, collect,
receive, reserve or take, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, and during any

5.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

         5.1. DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. Borrower and each of its
Material Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing in its state of
formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in,
any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property
requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution,
delivery and performance (including the issuance of the Warrant Shares) of the
Loan Documents have been duly and validly authorized, and do not conflict with
Borrower's formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any
material agreement by which Borrower is bound and no other corporate proceedings
on the part of the Borrower are necessary to authorize the Loan Documents or to
consummate the transactions contemplated therein, including any stockholder
approval. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Borrower, and, assuming such Loan Document constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Lender, such Loan Document constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors'
rights generally and to general principles of equity. 9,785,000 shares of Common
Stock are duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant
and, upon issuance in accordance with the Loan Documents, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all Liens. Neither the
issuance, sale or delivery of the Promissory Note or Warrant nor the issuance or
delivery of Warrant Shares is subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of
Borrower or to any right of first refusal or similar right in favor of any
person. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it
is bound in which the default could cause a Material Adverse Change.

         5.2. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as set forth in the Schedule,
neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by Borrower and its
Material Subsidiaries nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Promissory Note or Warrant and
the issuance of the Warrant Shares) will conflict with, or result in any
violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of
any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation
of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries under,

              (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Borrower or the
comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Material
Subsidiaries,

              (b) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
lease, contract, agreement, instrument, permit, governmental authorization,
concession, franchise or license applicable to Borrower or any of its Material
Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, or

              (c) any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or their
respective properties or assets.

              No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required by Borrower
or any of its Material Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents by Borrower or the consummation by Borrower of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the issuance of the
Promissory Note or Warrant and the Warrant Shares).

         5.3. CAPITALIZATION.

              (a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of
Borrower consists of 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of the
date hereof, 48,931,893 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding, and
no shares of Common Stock are held in the treasury of Borrower. As of the date
hereof, no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, and no shares
of

                                      -5-

Preferred Stock are held in the treasury of Borrower. The number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options issued under any of
Borrower's stock option or similar plans and the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to warrants to purchase
Common Stock are set forth in the Schedule. A sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock are reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to (i) all
currently outstanding obligations (including the effects of anti-dilution
provisions contained therein as triggered by the issuance of the Warrant) and
(ii) the Warrant. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have
been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and
are not subject to preemptive rights. The Schedule sets forth the exercise
prices or conversion prices and number of shares of Common Stock or other
capital stock of Borrower issuable in respect of each outstanding stock option,
each outstanding warrant and outstanding convertible notes.

              (b) Except as set forth in paragraph (a) above (or as expressly
contemplated by this Agreement), there are no outstanding securities, options,
warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings
of any kind to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound obligating
Borrower to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold,
directly or indirectly, additional shares of capital stock or other voting
securities (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities)
of Borrower, or obligating Borrower to issue, grant, extend or enter into any
such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement
or undertaking. Except for shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of
Borrower that are owned by Borrower free and clear of Liens, there are no
outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments,
agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which Borrower or any
Material Subsidiary of Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any such
Material Subsidiary is bound obligating Borrower or any such Material Subsidiary
to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, directly or
indirectly, additional shares of capital stock or other voting securities (or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities) of any Material
Subsidiary of Borrower, or obligating Borrower or any such Material Subsidiary
to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call,
right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking. There are no bonds,
debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Borrower or any Material Subsidiary
having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities
having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of Borrower or
any Material Subsidiary may vote. Except as set forth on the Schedule (or as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement), there are not any outstanding
contractual obligations of Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries to
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or providing preemptive or registration
rights with respect to, any shares of capital stock of Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on the Schedule, there are no
anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by
Borrower (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be
triggered by the issuance of any Promissory Note or Warrant or any Warrant
Shares. Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries do not have outstanding any loans
to any person in respect of the purchase of securities issued by Borrower and
its Material Subsidiaries.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

              (c) There are no voting trusts or agreements, stockholders
agreements, pledge agreements, buy-sell agreements, rights of first refusal,
preemptive rights or proxies relating to any securities of Borrower or any of
its Material Subsidiaries to which Borrower or a Material Subsidiary is a party,
or, to Borrower's knowledge, any of such instruments to which it is not a party.
All of the outstanding securities of Borrower were issued in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws, including the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

         5.4. COLLATERAL. Each of Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries has
good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All
Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from
material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property,
except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary
course of business. Each Patent which has been issued is valid and enforceable
and to the best of Borrower's knowledge, each Patent that has been applied for
and is pending if issued will be valid and enforceable when issued and no part
of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole
or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual
Property violates the rights of any third party.

         5.5. LITIGATION. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to
Borrower's knowledge, threatened by or against Borrower or any of its Material
Subsidiaries in which an adverse decision could cause a Material Adverse Change.

         5.6. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All
consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Material
Subsidiaries delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects
Borrower's consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results
of operations as of the date of each such consolidated financial statement. As
of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate liabilities of Borrower and its
Material Subsidiaries as determined in accordance with GAAP do not exceed $60.0
million. Since September 30, 2000, neither Borrower nor any of its Material
Subsidiaries has received notice that any single customer which had accounted
for greater than 5% of the total revenue set forth on such consolidated
financial statement has or intends to terminate its relationship with Borrower
and/or any of its Material Subsidiaries.

         5.7. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Borrower is not an "investment company" or
a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending
credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board
of Governors). Each of Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries has complied in
all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither
Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has violated any laws, ordinances
or rules, the violation of which could cause a Material Adverse Change. None of
Borrower's or any of its Material Subsidiaries' properties or assets has been
used by Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing,
treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower
and each of its Material Subsidiaries has timely filed all required tax returns

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those
being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and
each of its Material Subsidiaries has obtained all consents, approvals and
authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices
to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as
currently conducted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

         5.8. SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities, except as set forth on the Schedule.

         5.9. NO BROKERS OR FINDERS. Neither Borrower, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees, (a)
has employed (or will employ) any broker or finder, or (b) has incurred (or will
incur) any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders' fees or
expenses or indemnification or similar obligations in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5.10. OFFERING OF THE PROMISSORY NOTE AND WARRANT. Neither Borrower nor
any person authorized or employed by Borrower as agent, broker, dealer or
otherwise in connection with the offering or sale of the Promissory Note and
Warrant or any security of Borrower similar to the Promissory Note and Warrant
has offered the Promissory Note and Warrant or any such similar security for
sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the Promissory Note and Warrant or any
such similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect
thereto with, any person or persons, and neither Borrower nor any person acting
on its behalf has taken or will take any other action (including any offer,
issuance or sale of any security of Borrower under circumstances which might
require the integration of such security with the Promissory Note and Warrant
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder), in either case so as to subject the offering,
issuance or sale of the Promissory Note and Warrant to the registration
provisions of the Securities Act.

         5.11. FULL DISCLOSURE. No representation, warranty or other statement
of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading.

         5.12. PERFECTION CERTIFICATES. All information provided by Borrower and
its Subsidiaries in their respective Perfection Certificates delivered to Lender
pursuant hereto is true and correct as of the date of each such Perfection

Bank pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2000, between

any Material Subsidiary currently owes any amounts under the Fleet Agreement.

9.       BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

         9.1. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. When an Event of Default occurs and continues
Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

              (a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an
Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately
due and payable without any action by Lender);

              (b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's
benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and
Lender;

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

              (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable;

              (d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will
assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender
designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to
enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of
Lender's rights or remedies;

              (e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit
or the account of Borrower;

              (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is granted
a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with
Lender's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender's benefit; and

              (g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

         9.2. POWER OF ATTORNEY. When an Event of Default occurs and continues,
Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign
Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts
against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about
the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender
determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender
or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney
to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default
has occurred. Lender's appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of
Lender's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all
Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender's obligation to
provide Credit Extensions terminates. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 9.2 to the contrary, in no event shall Lender take any action using any
rights granted to it under this Section 9.2 if such action creates, or would
reasonably be expected to create, personal liability for any director, officer,
employee, agent or stockholder of Borrower.

         9.3. ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. When an Event of Default occurs and
continues, Lender may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender's
security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower
must collect all payments in trust for Lender and, if

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

requested by Lender, immediately deliver the payments to Lender in the form
received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

         9.4. LENDER EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish
any required proof of payment to third persons Lender may make all or part of
the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any
action under the policies Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Lender are
Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then
applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Lender are deemed
an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender's waiver of any
Event of Default.

         9.5. LENDER'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. If Lender complies with
reasonable banking practices, it is not liable or responsible for: (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any
diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss,
damage or destruction of the Collateral.

         9.6. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Lender
has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.
Lender's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender's waiver
of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender's delay is not a
waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by
Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for
which it was given.

         9.7. DEMAND WAIVER. Borrower waives demand, 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 guaranties held by Lender on which
Borrower is liable.

related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an
overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile at the addresses listed at the beginning of this
Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party
written notice.

11.      CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

         Pennsylvania law governs the Loan Documents without regard to
principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Lender each submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Chester County in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and New Castle County in the State of Delaware.
