The undersigned, Shopsmith, Inc. and Shopsmith Woodworking Promotions (each
referred to herein as "Dealer"), each hereby agrees to honor credit cards
("Cards") issued by CitiFinancial Retail Services Division of Travelers Bank &
Trust, fsb, a Delaware state chartered bank, or any of their affiliated
financial entities (collectively called "Creditor") to Buyers (hereinafter
defined) who have revolving credit Accounts (hereinafter defined) established by
the Creditor and upon which the Creditor will accept delivery of Transaction
Slips (hereinafter defined), documenting transactions on Accounts. For good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Dealer covenants and agrees with Creditor as follows:

1)   DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following
     meanings:
     a)   "Account" - a revolving charge account entered into by Creditor with
          one or more Buyers pursuant to which goods and/or services may be
          purchased from time to time by one or more Buyers from Dealer.
     b)   "Account Agreement" - a revolving charge agreement between Creditor
          and Buyer(s), establishing an Account, and any other applications,
          notes, contracts, or documents in connection therewith.
     c)   "Applications"- buyer credit applications.
     d)   "Buyer" - this includes each person who signs an Account Agreement as
          Buyer to obtain credit for personal, family, or household use.
     e)   "Chargeback" - reimbursement by Dealer to Creditor with respect to one
          or more Accounts/Transaction Slips, such that Dealer will become owner
          of the Accounts and/or Transaction Slips.
     f)   "Purchase" - a purchase by a Buyer of goods and/or services from
          Dealer which is charged to an Account and becomes an obligation
          thereunder.
     g)   "Return" - the return or adjustment of part or all of a Purchase or
          the price of a Purchase which is or will be shown as a credit to an
          Account.
     h)   "Transaction Slip" - an original receipt documenting a Purchase or a
          Return signed by the Buyer. In the case of Purchases, each
          "Transaction Slip" grants Creditor a security interest in the goods
          purchased.

2)   ESTABLISHING AND OWNERSHIP OF ACCOUNTS. Dealer agrees and understands that
     Creditor, and not Dealer, will establish and own all Accounts and
     Transaction Slips and related documents, and that Creditor is the party
     extending the credit on the Accounts, subject to Dealer's obligation to
     purchase the Accounts and Transaction Slips from Creditor as provided
     herein. All information relating to Buyers is owned by Creditor and may be
     used by Creditor for any purpose deemed appropriate by Creditor, PROVIDED,
     HOWEVER, that Creditor will not sell Buyers' information to third parties.
     Dealer will give Creditor the right of first refusal to finance all of
     Dealer's customer credit purchases, Creditor, in its sole discretion, will
     determine whether the Buyer meets the Creditor's credit criteria and
     whether to establish an Account in such Buyer's name, and the terms of such
     Account, including whether to later modify the terms of, or to terminate,
     the Account. Buyers approved by Creditor for an Account will be issued
     Account Identification Cards which, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
     Dealer will honor in connection with bona fide consumer credit transactions
     for the purchase from Dealer of goods and services; provided that Creditor
     has not otherwise advised Dealer. Creditor will make all credit decisions
     and will establish all Accounts under Delaware law.

3)   DELIVERY OF TRANSACTION SLIPS.

     a)   Dealer's written advice to Creditor of a Transaction Slip shall
          constitute Dealer's request for Creditor to accept the Transaction
          Slip and to pay the Dealer for the Transaction Slip as agreed by
          Creditor and Dealer from time to time. Subject to the terms of this
          Agreement, Creditor will accept or refuse, in its complete discretion,
          Transaction Slips executed by Buyers, and will pay Dealer the total
          amount of the Transaction Slip less any amount agreed to by the
          parties hereto.
     b)   Dealer agrees and understands that the Creditor owns all right, title
          and interest in every Transaction Slip executed by a Buyer in
          connection with credit transactions on Accounts, including the payment
          obligation represented by such Transaction Slips and the security
          interest in the goods and services covered by such Transaction Slips,
          unless and until Dealer purchases a Transaction Slip from Creditor as
          provided in this Agreement.
     c)   Except with respect to Transaction Slips which Dealer purchases from
          Creditor, Dealer agrees that it is not authorized to receive payments,
          and that the Creditor has the sole right to receive payments, on all
          Accounts and related Transaction Slips submitted to Creditor.

4)   DELIVERY OF TRANSACTION SLIPS: DEALER'S RISK AND CREDITOR'S OBLIGATIONS
     WITH RESPECT THERETO. The procedures governing payment for Transaction
     Slips and Dealer's risks and Creditor's obligations with respect thereto,
     shall be as follows:

     a)   Dealer's Risk. Any Purchase consummated by Dealer which in good faith
          judgement of Creditor (i) was fraudulent, (ii) was evidenced by a
          Transaction Slip which is not in all respected legible, or in which
          the Purchase is not as represented, warranted, or agreed therein, or
          for which an infirmity in documentation otherwise exists, (iii) was
          without Creditor's approval if so required hereunder, (iv) was in
          violation of any of the rules governing Purchases, or (v) otherwise
          was without compliance with any applicable warranty or representation
          of Dealer contained in this Agreement or any applicable term or
          condition of this Agreement, or the Account Agreement, shall be at
          Dealer's risk, and Creditor shall have no obligation to accept, or pay
          for, any Transaction Slip representing any such Purchase, and shall
          have no liability to Dealer therefor; but Creditor shall, in its sole
          and absolute discretion, have the option of accepting the same upon
          investigation, but no such acceptance by Creditor of any such
          Transaction Slip or Purchase shall be deemed a waiver of Creditor's
          rights hereunder with respect to any other or subsequent Transaction
          Slip or Purchase.

     b)   Delivery of, and Payment for, Transaction Slips.
          i)   Dealer will deliver to Creditor (in the manner and time specified
               by Creditor) with respect to each Account; the Dealer's
               invoice/sales form; the Transaction Slip(s) signed by the Buyer,
               evidencing the original and any subsequent purchases; and any
               other documentation relating to Applications and Accounts as
               agreed to by the parties.
          ii)  If Dealer is unable to deliver a document requested by Creditor
               within the specified time frame for whatever reason, Creditor may
               immediately charge back the Account and/or Transaction Slip. The
               Chargeback amount of any Account and/or Transaction Slip shall be
               a sum equal to the then unpaid net balance due thereon (including
               any accrued but unpaid finance charges thereon), plus any and all
               costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Creditor
               in connection with enforcing this Agreement. Upon payment to
               Creditor of the amount of the Chargeback, the Accounts and/or
               Transaction Slips shall be transferred by appropriate endorsement
               or assignment to Dealer, but all such endorsements and
               assignments shall be without recourse upon Creditor and without
               warranties, express or implied on the part of the Creditor.
               Creditor's right to demand Chargeback is not waived because of
               its failure to make prompt Chargeback. Creditor's right to charge
               back any Account and/or Transaction Slip as set forth herein
               shall not be affected by any modification by Creditor of any
               Account and/or Transaction Slip. With respect to any Account
               and/or Transaction Slip for which Creditor charges back to Dealer
               hereunder. Dealer further waives any right to require Creditor
               (i) to proceed against any person; (ii) to proceed against or
               exhaust its rights with respect to collection of any of the
               Accounts, (iii) to obtain any determination by any court or
               governmental agency with respect to any breach of the elements or
               events constituting any breach; or (iv) pursue any other remedy
               in Creditor's power as against any other personsor property.

     c)   Chargeback. In any of the following circumstances, Creditor may charge
          back to Dealer any Transaction Slip that Creditor has accepted from
          Dealer, and Dealer shall immediately pay Creditor the amount
          represented by the Transaction Slip, plus interest on the Transaction
          Slip accrued and unpaid as of the date of the chargeback, plus
          Creditor's out-of-pocket costs incurred, if any, in attempting to
          collect on the Transaction Slip, but less any acquisition charge, if
          any, previously paid by Dealer to Creditor;
          i)    the Transaction is not completed to Creditor's reasonable
                satisfaction;
          ii)   the Transaction Slip is a duplicate of an item previously
                paid;
          iii)  the Buyer disputes the execution of the Transaction Slip, or
                the sale, deliver, quality, or performance of the goods or
                services;
          iv)   the Buyer contends that it did not authorize the transaction
                represented by the Transaction Slip or did not authorize the
                transaction in the amount shown on the Transaction Slip;
          v)    the Buyer alleges that a credit adjustment was requested and
                refused, or that a credit adjustment was issued by Dealer but
                Creditor did not receive the credit;
          vi)   the price of the goods or services shown on the Transaction
                Slip differs from the amount shown on the receipt deliverd to
                the Buyer at the time of the transaction;
          vii)  Dealer did not obtian authorization from Creditor for the
                transaction requested by the Transaction Slip;

<PAGE>   3

          ix)   Creditor determines that Dealer has violated or not complied
                with any term, condition, covenant, warranty, or other
                provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the
                parties, or any of Creditor's procedures, in connection with
                the Transaction Slip or the transaction to which it relates;
                or

          x)    Creditor determines that the Transaction Slip is fraudulent or
                that the related transaction is not a bona fide transaction in
                Dealer's ordinary course of business, or is subject to any
                claim of illegality, cancellation, rescission, avoidance, or
                offset for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation
                negligence, fraud, or dishonesty on the part of Dealer or any
                of its agents or employees.

     d)   Adjustment of Transaction Slips. Creditor shall, within a reasonable
          time following the chargeback of a transaction to Dealer and payment
          by Dealer to Creditor of amounts due under this Agreement, assign to
          Dealer (without recourse to Creditor) Creditor's interest in the
          Transaction Slip that was charged back. Dealer understands and agrees
          that the obligation on its part to purchase Transaction Slips from
          Creditor does not preclude Creditor from enforcing any other remedies
          available to it.

     e)   Payments by Buyer. Dealer shall not accept payment by any Buyer on an
          Account. Any payments so accepted in violation of this provision shall
          be in trust for Creditor, and shall be delivered within three (3)
          calendar days, excluding Sundays and holidays, to Creditor in the form
          received except for any necessary endorsements, and shall not be
          subject to any offset for any amounts due Dealer hereunder. Dealer
          authorizes Creditor to endorse the name of Dealer when any form of
          payment requires such endorsement and Dealer has failed to do so or
          has done so improperly or inaccurately. If a significant number of
          such payments received by Dealer in any calendar month are not
          delivered within the time and in the manner provided, Creditor may, at
          its option, demand immediate purchase by Dealer of all Account and
          related Transaction Slips for their current net balance.

5)   RETURNS, BUYER COMPLAINTS.

     a)   Returns. Dealer agrees to maintain a fair return policy and to make
          adjustments with respect to Purchases and Accounts where appropriate.
          If Dealer (i) accepts any goods for return; (ii) permits the
          termination or cancellation of any services; or (iii) allows any price
          adjustment, then Dealer shall not make any cash refund, but shall
          complete and deliver promptly to Creditor a credit slip ("Credit Slip)
          signed by Dealer and evidencing the full amount of the refund or
          adjustment, and shall deliver to the Buyer a true and complete copy of
          the Credit Slip at the time the refund or adjustment is made. Dealer
          shall include on any Credit Slip a brief description of the goods
          returned, services terminated or canceled, or refund or adjustment
          made, together with the date and amount of the credit, in sufficient
          detail to identify the transaction. The amount of a Credit Slip cannot
          exceed the amount of the original transaction as reflected on the
          Transaction Slip. The Credit Slip must reflect the full amount of the
          refund or adjustment, and cannot be reduced by any charge paid by
          Dealer to Creditor on the original Transaction Slip. Dealer may
          process a Credit Slip for a Buyer only if Dealer has previously
          completed the related purchase transaction with the same Buyer. If
          twenty-five percent (25%) or more (in number) of such returns in any
          calendar year are not delivered within the time and in the manner
          provided, Creditor may, at its option, demand immediate purchase by
          Dealer of all Account and related Transaction Slips (for their current
          net balance) received from Dealer and then in Creditor's possession.

     b)   Buyer Complaints. Dealer acknowledges that, under applicable law,
          Creditor may be subject to claims and defenses of Buyers arising out
          of Purchases. Dealer agrees that it will immediately notify Creditor
          of any such claim or defense asserted, or any complaint which may
          become such a claim or defense, when the Dealer receives notice or
          otherwise becomes aware thereof, as well as the action taken by Dealer
          to resolve this dispute. Dealer shall make a good faith attempt to
          resolve any dispute with respect to the quality, performance,
          condition, or otherwise of the goods or services that are the subject
          of any Purchase. Dealer shall keep written complaints and a log of
          oral complaints for twenty-five (25) months. Dealer shall immediately
          notify Creditor if Dealer is subject to any investigation or action
          arising from alleged violations of law. Dealer agrees to indemnify and
          hold Creditor harmless from any claim, loss, damage, or liability,
          including attorney fees and costs, incurred by Creditor in connection
          with any such complaint, claim, defense, or dispute, or the failure of
          Dealer to notify Creditor thereof as provided herein.

     c)   Fair Credit Billing Act Compliance. Dealer agrees to fully and
          promptly comply with all requests from Creditor for information and
          assistance in connection with Creditor's resolution of any billing
          error dispute with any Buyer.

6)   PAYMENT. Dealer and Creditor shall agree from time to time, as evidence in
     a pricing schedule or other documentation, upon (i) the fees and charges to
     be paid by Dealer to Creditor in connection with this

<PAGE>   4

     Agreement, which may include set-up charges to reimburse Creditor for its
     costs and expenses in connection with establishing this program, costs of
     supplying and imprinting Identification Cards, monthly service charges per
     Account, transaction processing charges, an any other costs; and (ii) the
     amount to be paid by Creditor to Dealer for any Transaction Slip as a
     precentage of the amount of the Transaction Slip. In this regard, the
     parties agree to share equally the cost of imprinting Account
     Identification Cards for Accounts, if any, acquired by Creditor from Dealer
     and the cost of customized Buyer credit applications.

7)   WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF DEALER. Dealer makes the following
     warranties and representations, with the understanding and agreement that
     Creditor shall have relied upon such warranties and representations
     notwithstanding any inspection or knowledge on its part of anything

     any Account or Purchase or Transaction Slip hereunder or with respect to
     any Purchase for which Creditor has no obligation or liability to Dealer
     under the provisions of this Agreement but Creditor has previously paid for
     the Transaction Slip from Dealer, with or without knowledge of any fact or
     event giving rise to Creditor's right not to be obligated or liable
     therefor, or in the event Buyer asserts a claim or defense based upon, or
     fails to pay because of, an alleged breach of warranty, alleged
     misrepresentation with respect to the goods sold, or alleged failure of
     Dealer to provide adequate service to Buyer, Dealer agrees to immediately
     purchase such Account and/or Transaction Slip from Creditor. The purchase
     price of any Account and/or Transaction Slip which Dealer is required to
     purchase hereunder shall be a sum equal to the then unpaid net balance due
     thereon (including any accrued but unpaid finance charge thereon), plus any
     and all costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Creditor
     in connection with the enforcement of the Account. If Dealer fails to pay
     the purchase price to Creditor within fifteen (15) days of Creditor's
     demand therefor, Creditor may, at its option, demand immediate purchase by
     Dealer of all Accounts and Transaction Slips (for their current net
     balances) arising from Purchases from Dealer. If in any calendar month
     Creditor demands that Dealer purchase Accounts or Transaction Slips having
     current net balances in excess of twenty-five (25%) of the total balances
     at the end of the month of all Accounts and Transaction Slips from Dealer,
     Creditor may, at its option, demand immediate purchase by Dealer of all
     Accounts and Transaction Slips from Dealer for the current net balances
     thereof. Additionally, in the event Dealer becomes insolvent, executes an
     assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is a party to any action,
     voluntary or involuntary, under applicable bankruptcy laws, Creditor may,
     at its option, demand immediate purchase by Dealer of all Accounts and
     Transaction Slips from Dealer for the current net balances thereof. Upon
     payment to Creditor of the purchase price, the Accounts and/or Transaction
     Slips shall be transferred by appropriate endorsement or assignment to
     Dealer, but all such endorsements and assignments shall be without recourse
     upon Creditor and without warranties, express or implied, on the part of
     the Creditor. Creditor's right to demand purchase is not waived because of
     its failure to make prompt demand for purchase. Dealer's obligation to
     purchase any Account and/or Transaction Slip as set forth herein shall not
     be affected by any modification by Creditor of any Account. With respect to
     any Account and/or Transaction Slip for which Creditor demands purchase by
     Dealer hereunder, Dealer further waives any right to require Creditor (i)
     to proceed against any person; (ii) to proceed against any of the Accounts;
     (iii) to obtain any determination by any court or governmental agency with
     respect to any breach of the elements or events constituting any breach; or
     (iv) to pursue any other remedy in Creditor's power as against any other
     persons or property.

     Purchase. Dealer guarantees all performance and warranties and all service
     or similar agreements made by the manufacturer, Dealer or any other person
     relating to goods and/or services that are the subject of any Purchase,
     even if such performance, warranty, service or similar agreements are not
     immediately effective, and, unless such agreement provides otherwise,
     Dealer agrees to provide repairs and service to Buyer or other owner of the
     goods or recipient of the services at Dealer's usual rates or charges. If
     an Account or Transaction Slip acquired includes a charge for a warranty,
     service, or similar agreement, Dealer agrees, in the event the Buyer moves
     out of Dealer's service area, to either arrange for warranty or service
     demanded by customer to be performed by other qualified persons or to
     refund

<PAGE>   6

     the unearned portion of the charge assessed for such warranty, service, or
     similar agreement. Dealer shall provide Creditor with such information as
     Creditor shall deem necessary or appropriate with respect to the financial
     condition or otherwise of Dealer, and shall make available to Creditor for
     examination at all reasonable times, the books of Dealer's business
     pertaining to financing goods and services. Dealer shall immediately notify
     Creditor of any material information of which it becomes aware with respect
     to any Account, including, but not limited to, the death, move from the
     service area, loss of employment, adverse change in financial condition or
     change in marital status of any Buyer, termination of an Account, the loss
     or theft or unauthorized use of any Card, or any dispute or claim with

     liabilities for compliance with applicable law with respect to sufficiency
     of document contents does not apply to any document or form provided by
     Creditor, but shall apply to any other failures or omissions by Dealer or
     its agents related to any such document furnished by Creditor, including,
     but not limited to, Dealer's failure to complete properly any such document
     or form, or failure to deliver copies to Buyers.

     applicable to Dealer when Creditor gives Dealer notice thereof in writing
     or otherwise.

12)  ADVERTISING. Prior to use of Creditor's name or reference to Creditor's
     financing in any piece of advertising through any medium, including but not

     Section. Creditor shall be subrogated to any causes of action or other
     rights that Dealer may have against any manufacturer or other person or
     entity to the extent necessary to insure that Creditor is fully
     indemnified.

     thereon (including any accrued but unpaid finance charges thereon), plus
     any and all costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by
     Creditor in connection with enforcing this Agreement. Upon payment to

     persons or property.

     provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
