                                 ALKERMES, INC.

                           1998 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

1.   Purpose

          The purpose of the Alkermes, Inc. 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"PLAN") is to attract and retain key employees and consultants of the Company
and its Affiliates, to provide an incentive for them to achieve long-range
performance goals, and to enable them to participate in the long-term growth of
the Company by granting Awards with respect to the Company's Common Stock.
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 8 below.

2.   Administration

          The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall
select the Participants to receive Awards and shall determine the terms and
conditions of the Awards. The Committee shall have authority to adopt, alter and
repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the
operation of the Plan as it shall from time to time consider advisable, and to
interpret the provisions of the Plan. The Committee's decisions shall be final
and binding.

3.   Eligibility

          All employees and consultants of the Company or any Affiliate capable
of contributing significantly to the successful performance of the Company,
other than a person who has irrevocably elected not to be eligible, are eligible
to be Participants in the Plan. Incentive Stock Options were granted only to
persons eligible to receive such Options under the Code.

4.   Stock Available for Awards

          (a)  Amount. Subject to adjustment under subsection (b), Awards may be
made under the Plan for up to 591,487 shares of Common Stock, of which shares,
Options to purchase 119,474 shares of Common Stock and 53,327 shares of
Restricted Stock were awarded prior to the assumption of the Plan, leaving
418,686 shares of Common Stock available for Awards. If any Award expires or is
terminated unexercised or is forfeited or settled in a manner that results in
fewer shares outstanding than were awarded, the shares subject to such Award, to
the extent of such expiration, termination, forfeiture or decrease, shall again
be available for award under the Plan. Common Stock issued through the
assumption or substitution of outstanding grants from an acquired company shall
not reduce the shares available for Awards under the Plan. Shares issued under
the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or
treasury shares.

          (b)  Adjustment. In the event that the Committee determines that any
stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or
other transaction affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required
in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the Plan, then the
Committee (subject in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitation
required under the Code) shall equitably adjust any or all of (i) the number and
kind of shares in respect of

<PAGE>

which Awards may be made under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares
subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price with respect to any of
the foregoing, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall
always be a whole number, and (iv) if considered appropriate, the Committee may
make provision for a cash payment with respect to an outstanding Award; provided
that in the case (i) or (ii) above the number of shares subject to any Award
shall always be a whole number.

5.   Stock Options

          (a)  Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, after
the assumption of the Plan by the Company the Committee may grant options
("OPTIONS") to purchase shares of Common Stock not intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision and any
regulations thereunder ("NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS"). The Committee shall
determine the number of shares subject to each Option and the exercise price
therefor. Prior to the date of the assumption of the Plan by the Company,
Options to purchase shares of Common Stock complying with the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision and any regulations
thereunder ("INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS") were granted as authorized under the Plan
and such granted Incentive Stock Options remain in full force and effect.
Incentive Stock Options had or shall have an exercise price of at least 100% of
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. No Incentive
Stock Option may be granted hereunder after the effective date of the assumption
of the Plan by the Company.

          (b)  Terms and Conditions. Each Option shall be exercisable at such
times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify in
the applicable grant or thereafter. The Committee may impose such conditions
with respect to the exercise of Options, including conditions relating to
applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers necessary or
advisable.

          (c)  Payment. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of
an Option until payment in full of the exercise price therefor is received by
the Company. Such payment for shares to be delivered pursuant to any exercise of
an Option may be made in whole or in part in cash or, to the extent permitted by
the Committee at or after the grant of the Option, by delivery of a note or
other commitment satisfactory to the Committee or shares of Common Stock owned
by the optionee, including Restricted Stock, or by retaining shares otherwise
issuable pursuant to the Option, in each case valued at their Fair Market Value
on the date of delivery or retention, or such other lawful consideration,
including a payment commitment of a financial or brokerage institution, as the
Committee may determine.

6.   Restricted Stock

          (a)  Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
the Committee may grant shares of Common Stock subject to forfeiture
("RESTRICTED STOCK") and determine the duration of the period (the "RESTRICTED
PERIOD") during which, and the conditions under which, the shares may be
forfeited to the Company and the other terms and conditions of such Awards.
Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued for no cash consideration, such minimum
consideration as may be required by applicable law or such other consideration
as the Committee may determine.

          (b)  Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock (may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as permitted by
the Committee, during the Restricted Period. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be
evidenced in such manner as the Committee may

<PAGE>

determine. Any certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock
shall be registered in the name of the Participant and unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock
power endorsed in blank, with the Company. At the expiration of the Restricted
Period, the Company shall deliver such certificates to the Participant or if the
Participant has died, to the Participant's Designated Beneficiary.

7.   General Provisions Applicable to Awards

          (a)  Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
writing, delivered to the Participant specifying the terms and conditions
thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan as the Committee considers necessary or advisable to
achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable tax and regulatory
laws and accounting principles.

          (b)  Committee Discretion. Each type of Award may be made alone, in
addition to or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each type of Award
need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants uniformly.
Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or a particular Award, any
determination with respect to an Award may be made by the Committee at the time
of grant or at any time thereafter.

          (c)  Dividends and Cash Awards. In the discretion of the Committee,
any Award under the Plan may provide the Participant with (i) dividends or
dividend equivalents payable (in cash or in the form of Awards under the Plan)
currently or deferred with or without interest and (ii) cash payments in lieu of
or in addition to an Award.

          (d)  Termination of Employment. The Committee shall determine the
effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement or other termination of
employment of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during
which, the Participant's legal representative, guardian or Designated
Beneficiary may receive payment of an Award or exercise rights thereunder.

          (e)  Change in Control. In order to preserve a Participant's rights
under an Award in the event of a "CHANGE IN CONTROL" (as defined by the
Committee) of the Company, the Committee in its discretion may, at the time an
Award is made or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the following
actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating to the
exercise or payment of the Award, (ii) provide for payment to the Participant of
cash or other property with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount that would
have been received upon the exercise or payment of the Award had the Award been
exercised or paid upon the change in control, (iii) adjust the terms of the
Award in a manner determined by the Committee to reflect the change in control,
(iv) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by
another entity, or (v) make such other provision as the Committee may consider
equitable to Participants and in the best interests of the Company.

          (f)  Loans. The Committee may authorize the making of loans or cash
payments to Participants in connection with the grant or exercise of any Award
under the Plan, which loans may be secured by any security, including Common
Stock, underlying or related to such Award (provided that the loan shall not
exceed the Fair Market Value of the security subject to such Award), and which
may be forgiven upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish at
the time of such loan or at any time thereafter.

<PAGE>

          (g)  Transferability. In the discretion of the Committee, any Award
may be made transferable upon such terms and conditions and to such extent as
the Committee determines, provided that Incentive Stock Options may be
transferable only to the extent permitted by the Code. The Committee may in its
discretion waive any restriction on transferability.

          (h)  Withholding Taxes. The Participant shall pay to the Company, or
make provision satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, any taxes required
by law to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date
of the event creating the tax liability. The Company and its Affiliates may, to
the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of
any kind otherwise due to the Participant. In the Committee's discretion, such
tax obligations may be paid in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock,
including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery. The Company and its Affiliates
may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

          (i)  Foreign Nationals. Awards may be made to Participants who are
foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on such terms and
conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Committee considers
necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with
applicable laws.

          (j)  Amendment of Award. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate
any outstanding Award, including substituting therefor another Award of the same
or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization and converting
an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the
Participant's consent to such action shall be required unless the Committee
determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not
materially and adversely affect the Participant.

================================================================================

Principal Amount: $2,500,000.00                      Date of Note: July 15, 2001

PROMISE TO PAY. Fotoball USA, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to U.S. Bank
National Association ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States
of America, the principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100
Dollars ($2,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest
on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on December 15, 2001. In addition, Borrower
will pay regular monthly payments of accrued, unpaid interest beginning August
15, 2001, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each
month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by
the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will
pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an index which is the prime rate (the "Index").
The unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the
percentage point described below plus the prime rate announced by the Lender.
Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower's request.
Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.
The interest rate change will not occur more often than each time that the prime
rate changes. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of
this Note will be at a rate of 0.00 percentage points over the index. NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges
are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund
upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as
otherwise required by law.

Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early
payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.
Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due (b) Borrower fails to comply with or
to perform when due any other material term, obligation, covenant, or condition
contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other
agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any
loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or
any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may
materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this
Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the Related
Documents. (d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect
either now or at the time made or furnished. (e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a
receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either
by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f)
Borrower is in default under any other note, security agreement, lease agreement
or lease schedule, loan agreement or other agreement, whether now existing or
hereafter made, between Borrower and U.S. Bancorp or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. (g) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's
property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a
garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. (h) Any guarantor dies or
any of the other events described in this default section occurs with respect to
any guarantor of this Note. (i) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon Borrower's failure to pay
all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to pay upon
final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable
law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 5.500 percentage points
over the index. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if
Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that amount. This includes,
subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees
and Lender's reasonable legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also
will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law. This
Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of
California. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to
submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sacramento County, the State of
California. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender of Borrower against
the other. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such accounts.

LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under
this Note may be requested either orally or in writing by Borrower or by an
authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. All communications, instructions, or directions by
telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown
above. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a) advanced in
accordance with the instructions of an

     Legal Effect. This Agreement constitutes, and any instrument or agreement
     required hereunder to be given by Borrower when delivered will constitute,

     Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

     Properties. Except for Permitted Liens. Borrower owns and has good title to
     all of Borrower's properties free and clear of all Security Interests, and
     has not executed any security documents or financing statements relating to
     such properties. All of Borrower's properties are titled in Borrower's
     legal name, and Borrower has not used, or filed a financing statement
     under, any other name for at least the last five (5) years.

     Hazardous Substances. The terms "hazardous waste," "hazardous substance,"
     "disposal," "release," and "threatened release" as used in this Agreement,
     shall have the same meanings as set forth in the "CERCLA," "SARA," the
     Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq.,
     the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901. et
     seq., Chapters 6.5 through 7.7 of Division 20 of the California Health and
     Safety Code, Section 25100, et seq., or other applicable state or Federal
     laws, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the foregoing.
     Except as disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, Borrower
     represents and warrants that: (a) During the period of Borrower's ownership
     of the properties, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage,
     treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any hazardous waste
     or substance by any person on, under, about or from any of the properties.
     (b) Borrower has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been
     (i) any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal,
     release, or threatened release of any hazardous waste or substance on,
     under, about or from the properties by any prior owners or occupants of any
     of the properties, or (ii) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of
     any kind by any person relating to such matters. (c) Neither Borrower nor
     any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the
     properties shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of, or
     release any hazardous waste or substance on, under, about or from any of
     the properties; and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with
     all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances,
     including without limitation those laws, regulations and ordinances
     described above. Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon
     the properties to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem
     appropriate to determine compliance of the properties with this section of
     the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at
     Borrower's expense and for Lender's purposes only and shall not be
     construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender
     to Borrower or to any other person. The representations and warranties
     contained herein are based on Borrower's due diligence in investigating the
     properties for hazardous waste and hazardous substances. Borrower hereby
     (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or
     contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other
     costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
     Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties,
     and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer
     resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a
     consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release
     or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the properties.
     The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation
     to indemnity, shall survive the payment of the indebtedness and the
     termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not be affected by
     Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the properties whether by
     foreclosure or otherwise.

     Litigation and Claims. No material litigation, claim, investigation,
     administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid
     taxes) against Borrower is pending or threatened, and no other event has
     occurred which in any case may materially adversely affect Borrower's
     financial condition or properties, other than litigation, claims, or other
     events, if any, that have been in any case disclosed to and acknowledged by
     Lender in writing.

     Taxes. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, all tax returns and reports of
     Borrower that are or were required to be filed, have been filed, and all
     taxes, assessments and other governmental charges have been paid in full,
     except those presently being or to be contested by Borrower in good faith
     in the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have
     been provided.

     Lien Priority. Unless otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing,
     Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or
     permitted the filing or attachment of any Security Interests on or
     affecting any of the Collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment
     of Borrower's Loan and Note, that would be prior or that may in any way be
     superior to Lender's Security Interests and rights in and to such
     Collateral.

     Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements directly
     or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower's Loan and Note and all of the
     Related Documents are binding upon Borrower as well as upon Borrower's
     successors, representatives and assigns, and are legally enforceable in
     accordance with their respective terms.

     Commercial Purposes. Borrower intends to use the Loan proceeds solely for
     business or commercial related purposes.

     Employee Benefit Plans. Each employee benefit plan as to which Borrower may
     have any liability compiles in all material respects with all applicable
     requirements of law and regulations, and (i) no Reportable Event nor
     Prohibited Transaction (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to
     any such plan, (ii) Borrower has not withdrawn from any such plan or
     initiated steps to do so, (iii) no steps have been taken to terminate any
     such plan, and (iv) there are no unfunded liabilities other than those

     or Borrower's chief executive office, if Borrower has more than one place
     of business, is located at 6740 Cobra Way, San Diego, CA 92121. Unless
     Borrower has designated otherwise in writing this location is also the
     office or offices where Borrower keeps its records concerning the

     Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the
     party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or
     amendment.

     Applicable Law. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and accepted by
     Lender in the State of California. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees
     upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of
     Sacramento County, the State of California. Lender and Borrower hereby

     counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other. This
     Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
     the State of California.

     Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
     purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
     of this Agreement.

     Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
     this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower

     Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's

     interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
     unrelated to Lender, Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever,
     to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or

     with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all
     notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any
     repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the
     purchasers of any such

================================================================================

     participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such
     interests in the Loans and will have all the rights granted under the
     participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such
     participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or
     counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any
     purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that
     either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the
     Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any
     interest in the Loans. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any
     such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any
     personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.

     Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lenders
     reasonable expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
     fees, incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement,
     modification and collection of this Agreement or in connection with the
     Loans made pursuant to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help
     collect the loans and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that
     amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's
     reasonable attorneys' fees and Lender's reasonable legal expenses, whether
     or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys fees for bankruptcy
     proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
     injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection
     services. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other
     sums provided by law.

     Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
     given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required
     by law), and shall be effective when actually delivered or when deposited
     with a nationally recognized overnight courier or deposited in the United
     States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom
     the notice is to be given at the address shown above. Any party may change
     its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
     notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is
     to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
     if there is more than one Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute
     notice to all Borrowers. For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender
     informed at a times of Borrower's current address(es).

     Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
     this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any persons
     circumstances such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
     unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
     such offending provisions shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
     limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
     cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provision of this
     Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

     Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
     provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
     limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrow" as
     used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
     Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
     financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.

     Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
     behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
     the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
     however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
     interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

     Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
     in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
     Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have bean
     relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
     to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
     Lender or on Lender's behalf.

     Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
     Agreement.

     Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
     Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
     delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
     operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of
     a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
     Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
     any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
     course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any
     Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
     obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions.
     Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
     granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
     continuing consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
     and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
     discretion of Lender.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, AND

Loan No 9056-125                                                          Page 2
================================================================================

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Grantor hereby grants Lender a contractual security interest in
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers all of Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether
checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts held jointly
with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future, excluding,
however, all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant
of a security interest would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to
the extent permitted by applicable law to charge or setoff all indebtedness
against any and all such accounts.

OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR. Grantor warrants and covenants to Lender as follows:

     Perfection of Security Interest. Grantor agrees to execute such financing
     statements and to take whatever other actions are reasonably requested by
     Lender to perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the
     Collateral. Upon request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and
     all of the documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor
     will note Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered
     to Lender for possession by Lender. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its
     irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing all documents
     necessary to perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this
     agreement. Lender may at any time, and without further authorization from
     Grantor, file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of any financing
     statement or of this Agreement for use as a financing statement. Grantor
     will reimburse Lender for all reasonable expenses for the perfection and
     the continuation of the perfection of Lender's security interest in the
     Collateral. Grantor promptly will notify Lender before any change in
     Grantor's name including any change to the assumed business names of
     Grantor. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in
     effect even though all or any part of the indebtedness is paid in full and
     even though for a period of time Grantor may not be indebted to Lender.

     No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate
     any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and
     its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prohibit any
     term or condition of this Agreement.

     Enforceability of Collateral. To the extent the Collateral consists of
     accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the collateral is
     enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with
     applicable laws concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
     execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have
     authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear
     to be on the Collateral. At the time any account becomes subject to a
     security interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be a good and valid
     account representing bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor,
     for merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or theretofore
     shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services
     theretofore performed by Grantor with or for the account debtor, there
     shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any such accounts.

     Location of the Collateral. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver
     to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and
     Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
     limitation the following: (a) all real property owned or being purchased by
     Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or leased by Grantor; (c) all
     storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or being used by Grantor, and (d)
     all other properties where Collateral is or may be located. Except in the
     ordinary course of its business, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral
     from its existing locations without the prior written consent of Lender.

     Removal of Collateral. Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the extent
     the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts, the
     records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above, or at
     such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except in the ordinary
     course of its business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not
     remove the Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written
     consent of Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles,
     or other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
     would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles
     outside the State of California, without the prior written consent of
     Lender.

     Transactions Involving Collateral. Except for inventory sold or accounts
     collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business. Grantor shall not
     sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.
     While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell
     inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to
     buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in
     the ordinary course of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in
     partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not
     pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject
     to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
     security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written
     consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right
     to the security interests granted under this Agreement.

     Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good and
     marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
     encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement
     covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than
     those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to
     which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's
     rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other
     persons.

     Collateral Schedules and Locations. As often as Lender shall require, and
     insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts and general intangibles,
     Grantor shall deliver to Lender schedules of such Collateral, including
     such information as Lender may require, including without limitation names
     and addresses of account debtors and agings of accounts and general
     intangibles. Insofar as the Collateral consists of inventory and equipment,
     Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall require, such
     lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral as Lender may
     require to identify the nature, extent, and location of such Collateral.
     Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and each of its
     subsidiaries or related companies except as is reasonable in the context of
     Grantor's business.

     Maintenance and Inspection of Collateral. Grantor shall maintain all
     tangible Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit
     or permit damage to or cause intentional destruction of the Collateral or
     any part of the Collateral except as is reasonable in the context of
     Grantor's business. Lender and its designated representatives and agents
     shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit
     the Collateral wherever located.

================================================================================

     Taxes, Assessments and Liens. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
     assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this
     Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the indebtedness,
     or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such
     payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
     conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and
     so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in
     Lender's reasonable opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which
     is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with
     Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security
     satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge
     of the lien plus any interest, costs, attorney's fees or other charges that
     could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any
     contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final
     adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall
     name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the
     contest proceedings.

     Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall comply, in all
     material respects, promptly with all laws, ordinances, rules and
     regulations of all governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect,
     applicable to the ownership, production, disposition, or use of the
     Collateral. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance or
     regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including
     appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral, in
     Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.

     Hazardous Substances. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
     never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
     on the Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture, storage,
     transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any
     hazardous waste or substance, as those terms are defined in the
     Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
     1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund
     Amendments and Reauthortzatlon Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("SARA"),
     the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
     seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901,
     et seq., Chapters 6.5 through 7.7 of Division 20 of the California Health
     and Safety Code, Section 25100, et seq., or other applicable state or
     Federal laws, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the
     foregoing. The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance" shall also
     include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products or any
     fraction thereof and asbestos. The representations and warranties contained
     herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Collateral
     for hazardous wastes and substances.

     Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for
     indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup
     or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold
     harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses resulting from a
     breach of this provision of this Agreement. This obligation to indemnity
     shall survive the payment of the indebtedness and the satisfaction of this
     Agreement.

     Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
     risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability
     coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may reasonably
     require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and
     basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies
     reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will
     deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of
     insurance in form satisfactory to Lender. including stipulations that
     coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10)
     days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of
     the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance
     policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor
     of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default
     of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering
     assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor
     will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender
     may require, if Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any
     insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be
     obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including
     if it so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only
     Lender's interest in the Collateral.

     Application of Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
     any material loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of
     loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.
     All proceeds or any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
     thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
     consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral,
     Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse
     Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration.
     if Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral,
     Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the
     indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have
     not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which
     Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral
     shall be used to prepay the indebtedness.

     Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender
     reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as
     Lender may reasonably request including the following: (a) the name of the
     insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the
     property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis of which
     insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and
     (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon
     request by Lender (however not more often that annually) have an
     independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the
     cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.

GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until the occurrence of
an Event of Default and except as otherwise provided below with respect to
accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and
beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not
inconsistent with this agreement or the Related Documents, provided that
Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any
Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to
perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. Until otherwise notified
by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts. At
any time that an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to
collect the accounts and to notify

account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the
indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether
before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender
takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in
Lender's reasonable discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances,
but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be
a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
indebtedness.

EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation
all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any
time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be
obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the
Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes
will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the dale of repayment by Grantor. All such
expenses shall become a part of the indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will
(a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be
due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment
of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:

     Default on Indebtedness. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when due on
     the indebtedness.

     material term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this

     agreement, lease agreement or lease schedule, loan agreement or other
     agreement, whether now existing or hereafter made, between Grantor and U.S.
     Bancorp or any direct or indirect subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.

     Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
     under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
     agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
     that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
     Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective
     obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

     False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
     furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the
     Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
     respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.

     Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
     ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
     documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any
     time and for any reason.

     Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
     going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
     for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
     creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
     proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.

     Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
     forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help
     repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
     governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collaters securing
     the indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit
     accounts with Lender.

     EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
     to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or
     becomes incompetent.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the California Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:

     Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender may declare the entire indebtedness,
     including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
     immediately due and payable, without notice.

     Assemble Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or
     any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
     other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
     assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
     designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the
     property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the
     Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time
     of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided
     that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after
     repossession.

     Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer,
     or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name
     or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or
     private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value
     or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give
     Grantor reasonable notice of the time after which any private sale or any
     other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The
     requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at
     least ten (10) days, or such

     lesser time as required by state law, before the time of the sale or
     disposition. All reasonable expenses relating to the disposition of the
     Collateral, including without limitation the reasonable expenses of
     retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral,
     shall become a part of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall
     be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of
     expenditure until repaid.

     Appoint Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall
     have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a
     receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right,
     (b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond,
     and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part
     of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on
     demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until
     repaid.

     Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a
     receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
     Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any
     Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the
     payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
     security for the indebtedness or apply it to payment of the indebtedness in
     such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral
     consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments,
     chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand,
     collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or
     realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not
     indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on
     behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail
     addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to
     be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of
     title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of
     any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors
     and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.

     Obtain Deficiency. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral.
     Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining
     on the indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received
     from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall
     be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this
     subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

     Other Rights and Remedies. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of
     a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
     may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may
     exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law,
     in equity, or otherwise.

     Cumulative Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced
     by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other writing, shall
     be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
     Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
     and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
     obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to
     perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to
     exercise its remedies.

     the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is
     more than one Grantor, notice to any Grantor will constitute notice to all
     Grantors. For notice purposes, Grantor will keep Lender informed at an
     times of Grantor current address(es).

     Power of Attorney. Grantor hereby appoints Lender effective upon the
     occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
     irrevocably, with full power of substitution to do the followIng: (a) to
     demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all sums of money or
     other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from

     instruments, receipts, checks, drafts or warrants issued in payment for the
     Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under
     the Collateral, and, in the place and stead of Grantor, to execute and
     deliver its release and settlement for the claim; and (d) to file any claim
     or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any
     proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or
     otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or
     advisable. This power is given as security for the indebtedness, and the
     authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in
     full force and effect until renounced by Lender.

     Preference Payments. Any monies Lender pays because of an asserted
     preference claim in Borrower's bankruptcy will become a part of the
     indebtedness and, all Lender's option, shall be payable by Borrower as
     provided above in the "EXPEDITURES BY LENDER" paragraph.

     Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of

     circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
     unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
     such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
     limits of enforceability or validity, however, if the offending provision
     cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
     this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

     Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
     Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
     delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
     operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of
     a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
     Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
     any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
     course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of
     any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future
     transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this
     Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not
     constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
     required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
     sole discretion of Lender.

     Waiver of Co-obligator's Rights. If more than one person is obligated for
     the indebtedness, Borrower irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes
     all claims against such other person which Borrower has or would otherwise
     have by virtue of payment of the indebtedness or any part thereof,
     specifically including but not limited to all rights of indemnity,
     contribution or exoneration.

================================================================================

This ADDENDUM TO COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT is attached to and by this
reference is made a part of each Security Agreement, dated July 15, 2001, and
executed in connection with a loan or other financial accommodations between
U.S. Bank National Association and Fotoball USA, Inc.

THIS ADDENDUM TO COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT is attached to and made a part of
the certain Commercial Security Agreement dated July 15, 2001 (the "Security
Agreement") between Fotoball USA, Inc. (the "Grantor") and U.S. Bank National
Association, a national banking association (the "Lender"). Capitalized terms
used in this Addendum and not defined herein but defined in the Security
Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Security
Agreement.

For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Grantor and the Lender agree as follows with respect to the
Security Agreement, notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in
the Security Agreement:

1. References in the Security Agreement to the term "Uniform Commercial Code"
shall be deemed to refer to Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
adopted in the State whose laws govern the Security Agreement, or, if Revised
Article 9 has not been so adopted, as promulgated by the National Commissioners
on Uniform State Laws.

2. Grantor agrees that Lender may file financing statements containing a
description of the Collateral broader than that set forth in the Security
Agreement. Grantor also agrees to execute and cooperate with Lender in obtaining
from third parties control agreements in form satisfactory to Lender with
respect to Collateral consisting of, or including, investment property, deposit
accounts, letter-of-credlt rights, and electronic chattel paper. If any
Collateral is in the possession of a bailee, Grantor will join with Lender in
notifying the bailee of Lender's interest and in obtaining from the bailee an
acknowledgment that the bailee holds the Collateral for Lender's benefit.

3. Grantor represents that the information set forth in the Security Agreement
with respect to Grantor's name, location and organizational structure is
correct. Grantor will not change its name, its location, its jurisdiction of
organization, or its organizational structure without giving Lender at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice and will periodically provide Lender with
evidence that no change has occurred.

4. To the extent that Grantor uses any amounts loaned to purchase Collateral,
Grantor's repayment of the loan amounts shall apply on a "first-in-first-out"
basis so that the portion of the loan amounts used to purchase a particular item
of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order in which the Grantor
purchased the Collateral.

5. To the extent that Collateral includes chattel paper, at the time Grantor
creates any chattel paper, Grantor shall place a legend on the chattel paper
indicating that Lender has a security interest in the chattel paper.

6. Grantor will not license any Collateral.

7. Lender's rights described in the paragraph of the Security Agreement titled
"Grantor's Right to Possession and to Collect Accounts" apply to Collateral
consisting of accounts and/or any other rights to payment.

8. In addition to the events described in the "Events of Default" section of the
Security Agreement, it shall also constitute an Event of Default under the
Security Agreement if Lender receives at any time following execution of the
Security Agreement any information indicating that Lender's security interest is
not prior to all other security interests or other interests in the Collateral,
except as otherwise agreed by Lender.

9. In addition to the Lender's rights and remedies as described in the section
of the Security Agreement headed "Sell the Collateral," if an Event of Default
occurs under the Security Agreement Lender may dispose of any of the Collateral
at public auction or private sale in its then present condition or following
such preparation and processing as Lender deems commercially reasonable. Lender
has no duty to prepare or process the Collateral prior to sale. Lender may
disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Such
actions by Lender shall not affect the commercial reasonableness of the sale.
Further, Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements
in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be
considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.

general intangibles, it also includes without limitation all of the property
described above in this paragraph plus all instruments, deposit accounts, letter
of credit rights, investment property, money, documents, as-extracted collateral

          SUBLIMIT.

                    LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENTS. The words "Letter of Credit
          Agreements" shall have the meaning set forth in the section below
          entitled LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT.

                    LETTER OF CREDIT OBLIGATIONS. The words "Letter of Credit
          Obligations" shall mean the aggregate amount of all possible drawings
          under all Letters of Credit plus all amounts drawn under any Letter of
          Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower under the applicable Letter
          of Credit Agreement.

          2.2 Calculation of the Line of Credit. The first sentence of the
          section of the Loan Agreement entitled LINE OF CREDIT is hereby
          amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

          Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to time from the
          date of this Agreement to the Expiration Date, provided the aggregate
          amount of such Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed the
          sum of (a) the Borrowing Base and (b) the total amount of Letters of
          Credit issued and outstanding.

          2.3 Letters of Credit Sublimit. The following additional sections
entitled LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT
and LETTERS OF CREDIT CASH COLLATERAL are hereby added to page 3 of the Loan
Agreement, immediately preceding the section entitled COLLATERAL:

          LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT. Lender shall issue letters of credit
          (individually, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters of
          Credit") upon application of the Borrower, subject to (a) compliance
          by the Borrower with all conditions precedent set forth in the section
          entitled CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH ADVANCE hereof, (b) entry by the
          Borrower into applications, agreements (including, without limitation,
          reimbursement agreements) and other documents deemed appropriate by
          Lender for the issuance of such Letters of Credit, (c) payment by the
          Borrower of commissions, fees and interest as agreed upon between
          Borrower and Lender with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and,
          if required by Lender, the pledging of immediately available funds or
          similar cash collateral in the amount of each such Letter of Credit
          with such cash collateral to be held in a cash collateral account as
          security for Borrower's Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to
          each such Letter of Credit, (d) satisfaction of Lender with the form,
          substance and beneficiary of each such Letter of Credit, and (e) the

<PAGE>

          absence of any statutory or regulatory change or directive affecting
          the issuance by Lender of letters of credit. All Letters of Credit
          shall expire no later than one year after the issuance thereof. If any
          Letter of Credit shall be outstanding after the Expiration Date, the
          Borrower shall deliver cash collateral in the face amount of such
          Letter of Credit, to be held subject to the section entitled LETTERS
          OF CREDIT CASH COLLATERAL hereof. The aggregate face amount of all
          Letters of Credit shall not exceed $1,500,000, and the total of the
          aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit plus the Loans shall
          not exceed the Borrowing Base.

          LETTERS OF CREDIT CASH COLLATERAL. In addition to the other remedies
          provided in this Agreement, if any other Event of Default shall have
          occurred and Lender shall have declared the principal balance of the
          Loans due and payable, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to
          all Letter of Credit Obligations (to the extent Borrower has not
          already done so pursuant to subsection (c) of the section above
          entitled LETTERS OF CREDIT SUBLIMIT). Such payment shall be in
          immediately available funds or in similar cash collateral acceptable
          to Lender and shall be pledged to Lender. Such amount shall be held by
          Lender in a cash collateral account until the outstanding Letters of
          Credit are terminated without payment or are paid and Letter of Credit
          Obligations with respect thereto are payable. In the event Borrower
          defaults in the payment of any Letter of Credit Obligations, the
          proceeds of the cash collateral account shall be applied to the
          payment thereof. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender would
          not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by Borrower to pay
          immediately to Lender the amount provided under this section, and that
          Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to perform
          specifically such undertaking whether or not any of the Letter of
          Credit Obligations are due and payable. Upon the failure of Borrower
          to make any payment required under this section, Lender may proceed to
          use all remedies available at law or equity to enforce the obligation
          of Lender to pay or reimburse the Bank. The balance of any payment due
          under this section shall bear interest payable on demand until paid in
          full at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, as announced by
          Lender from time to time, plus 2.00%.

3.        Right to Cure.

          3.1 Loan Agreement Insert. The following section is added to the Loan
Agreement (on page 7 following the INSECURITY subsection of the EVENTS OF
DEFAULT section) as if fully set forth therein:

          RIGHT TO CURE. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
          Agreement or of any agreement or document related hereto, an Event of

          FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND RATIOS, INSURANCE REPORTS AND INSPECTION (all

          such notice; provided, however, that in the event that such breach is
          not capable of being cured (as determined by Lender in its sole
          discretion) within the Cure Period, then Borrower shall have such
          longer period of time as Borrower reasonably requires to cure such
          breach so long as Borrower commences cure within the Cure Period and
          thereafter diligently pursues cure to completion; and provided,
          further, that such longer period of time shall in no event exceed
          thirty (30) days.

     OR

          condition at another time during the preceding twelve (12) months and

          to Borrower.

          OR CONDITION, OR THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT, WHICH BREACH OR
          OCCURRENCE WOULD BECOME AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UPON THE GIVING OF NOTICE,

          TIME AS SUCH BREACH OR OCCURRENCE IS CURED WITHIN THE TIME PERIODS AND
