                     requirements set forth in Section 5(j)) under the Revolving
                     Note on any Banking Day; provided, that no borrowing may

                     lesser of the Commitment or the Borrowing Base or may
                     result in an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of
                     Default, and provided further, that the Company may receive
                     the proceeds of only one Advance per Banking Day. Each
                     Advance under the Revolving Loan shall be conditioned upon
                     receipt by the Bank from the Company of a Borrowing Base
                     Certificate completed as of the date of the request. The

                     transmitted to the Bank by telephone facsimile ("fax")
                     machine, or by any other form of written electronic
                     communication (all such requests for Advances being
                     hereafter referred to as "Informal Requests"). In so doing,
                     the Bank may rely on any Informal Request which shall have
                     been received by it in good faith from a person reasonably
                     believed to be an Authorized Officer. Upon making each
                     Informal Request, the Company shall promptly deliver to the

                     of such Informal Request, and shall in and of itself
                     constitute the representation of the Company that no Event

                     is continuing or would result from the making of the
                     requested Advance, and that the making of the requested
                     Advance shall not cause the principal balance of the
                     Revolving Loan to exceed the lesser of the Commitment or
                     the Borrowing Base. All borrowings and reborrowings and all
                     repayments shall be in amounts of not less than One
                     Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), except for repayment

                                       8
<PAGE>

                     of the entire principal balance of the Revolving Loan and
                     except for special prepayments of principal required under
                     the terms of Section 2(a)(v). Upon receipt of a request for
                     an Advance, a Borrowing Base Certificate, and upon
                     compliance with any other conditions of lending stated in
                     Section 7 of this Agreement applicable to the Revolving
                     Loan, the Bank shall disburse the amount of the requested
                     Advance to the Company. All Advances by the Bank and
                     payments by the Company shall be recorded by the Bank on
                     its books and records, and the principal amount outstanding
                     from time to time, plus interest payable thereon, shall be
                     determined by reference to the books and records of the
                     Bank. The Bank's books and records shall be presumed PRIMA
                     FACIE to be correct as to such matters.

              (iii)  INTEREST ON THE REVOLVING LOAN. The principal amount of the
                     Revolving Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear

                     annum equal to the Prime Rate plus three-quarters percent
                     (3/4%). After maturity, whether on the Revolving Loan

                     occurrence of an Event of Default, and until paid in full,
                     the Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate
                     equal to the Prime Rate plus four and three-quarters
                     percent (4-3/4%). Accrued interest shall be due and payable
                     monthly on the last Banking Day of each month prior to
                     maturity. After maturity, interest shall be payable as
                     accrued and without demand.

                     upon the request of the Company, but at the Bank's sole
                     discretion, extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date from

                     and delivery by the Company of a Revolving Note reflecting
                     the extended maturity date, the date to which the
                     Commitment is then extended will become the "Revolving Loan
                     Maturity Date" for purposes of this Agreement.

                     balance of the Revolving Loan exceeds the Borrowing Base,
                     as determined on the basis of the most recent Borrowing
                     Base Certificate furnished by the Company or as determined

                     the Company, the Company shall immediately repay that
                     portion of the principal balance of the Revolving Loan
                     which is in excess of the Borrowing Base. Such repayment

                     of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
                     from the making of the requested Advance and that the
                     making of the requested Advance shall not cause the
                     aggregate principal amount disbursed under of the Capital
                     Expenditure Line of Credit to exceed the Capital
                     Expenditure Line of Credit Commitment. All borrowings and
                     all repayments shall be in amounts of not less than One
                     Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), except for repayment of the
                     entire principal balance of the Capital Expenditure Line of
                     Credit. Upon receipt of receipt of a request for an Advance
                     and the associated invoice or invoices, and upon compliance
                     with any other conditions of lending stated in Section 7 of
                     this Agreement applicable to the Capital Expenditure Line
                     of Credit, the Bank shall disburse the amount of the
                     requested Advance to the Company. All Advances by the Bank
                     and payments by the Company shall be recorded by the Bank
                     on its books and records, and the principal amount
                     outstanding from time to time, plus interest payable
                     thereon, shall be determined by reference to the books and
                     records of the Bank. The Bank's books and records shall be
                     presumed PRIMA FACIE to be correct as to such matters.

              (iii)  INTEREST ON THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE LINE OF CREDIT. The
                     principal amount of the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit
                     outstanding from time to time shall bear interest until
                     maturity of the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Note at
                     a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus
                     three-quarters percent (3/4%). After maturity, whether on
                     the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Maturity Date or on
                     account of acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of
                     Default, and until paid in full, the Capital Expenditure
                     Line of Credit shall bear interest at a per annum rate
                     equal to the Prime

                                       12

                     Rate plus four and three-quarters percent (4-3/4%). Accrued
                     interest shall be due and payable monthly on the last
                     Banking Day of each month prior to maturity. After
                     maturity, interest shall be payable as accrued and without
                     demand.

              (iv)   EXTENSIONS OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE LINE OF CREDIT MATURITY

                     the Bank's sole discretion, extend the Capital Expenditure
                     Line of Credit Maturity Date from time to time to such date
                     or dates as the Bank may elect by notice in writing to the
                     Company, and upon any such extension and upon execution and
                     delivery by the Company of a Capital Expenditure Line of
                     Credit Note reflecting the extended maturity date, the date
                     to which the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Commitment
                     is then extended will become the "Capital Expenditure Line
                     of Credit Maturity Date" for purposes of this Agreement.

       c.     THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TERM LOAN. The Bank will make a Capital
              Expenditure Term Loan (the "Capital Expenditure Term Loan") to the
              Company on the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Maturity Date on
              the following terms and subject to the following conditions:

              (i)    AMOUNT. The principal amount of the Capital Expenditure
                     Term Loan shall be equal to the lesser of One Million and
                     00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), or the amount of the
                     aggregate principal amount of the Capital Expenditure Line
                     of Credit outstanding on the Capital Expenditure Line of
                     Credit Maturity Date.

              (ii)   THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TERM NOTE. The obligation of the
                     Company to repay the Capital Expenditure Term Loan shall be
                     evidenced by a promissory note (the "Capital Expenditure
                     Term Note") in the form of EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto.
                     Principal and interest of the Capital Expenditure Term Loan
                     shall be repayable

<PAGE>

                     in equal monthly installments, each of which shall be equal
                     to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the sum of the initial
                     principal amount of the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit
                     outstanding on the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit
                     Maturity Date plus interest calculated at the rate provided
                     in Section 2(c)(iii) herein for the entire scheduled term
                     of the Capital Expenditure Term Loan , which monthly
                     payments shall be due commencing on the last Banking Day of
                     the month in which the Capital Expenditure Term Loan is
                     made, and continuing thereafter on the last Banking Day of
                     each month thereafter until the fourth anniversary of the
                     making of the Capital Expenditure Term Loan, on which date
                     the entire principal balance of the Capital Expenditure
                     Term Loan shall be due and payable together with all
                     accrued and unpaid interest. The principal of the Capital
                     Expenditure Term Loan may be prepaid at any time in whole
                     or in part without premium or penalty, provided that: (A)
                     any partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an
                     integral multiple of $1,000.00, and (B) all partial
                     prepayments shall be applied to the latest maturing
                     scheduled installments of principal in inverse order of
                     maturity.

              (iii)  INTEREST ON THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TERM LOAN. The unpaid
                     principal balance from time to time of the Capital
                     Expenditure Term Loan shall bear interest from the date the
                     Loan is made prior to the maturity of the Capital
                     Expenditure Term Note at a rate per annum equal to the
                     T-Bill Rate. After maturity, whether scheduled maturity or
                     maturity by virtue of acceleration on account of the
                     occurrence of an Event of Default, interest will accrue on
                     the Capital Expenditure Term Loan at a rate per annum equal
                     to the T-Bill Rate plus four percent (4%). Prior to
                     maturity, interest shall be due and payable on the last
                     Banking Day of each

                                       14

                     month together with payment of principal due on such dates
                     as provided in Section 2(c)(ii) above. After maturity,
                     interest shall be payable as accrued and without demand.

              (iv)   USE OF PROCEEDS OF THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TERM LOAN. The
                     proceeds of the Capital Expenditure Term Loan shall be used
                     in their entirety to refinance the Capital Expenditure Line
                     of Credit on the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit
                     Maturity Date.

       d.     PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL OF THE LOANS. The following
              provisions are applicable to both of the Loans:

              (i)    CALCULATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Loans shall be
                     calculated 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.

              (ii)   MANNER OF PAYMENT - APPLICATION. All payments of principal
                     and interest on the Loans shall be payable at the principal
                     office of the Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana, in funds
                     available for the Bank's immediate use in that city and no
                     payment will be considered to have been made until received
                     in such funds. All payments received on account of each
                     Loan will be applied first to the satisfaction of any
                     interest which is then due and payable on account of such
                     Loan, and to principal only after all interest which is due
                     and payable has been satisfied.

              (iii)  COMMITMENT FEE. The Bank acknowledges receipt from the
                     Company of the sum of $5,000.00, either previous to or
                     contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, as
                     a fee for the Bank's commitment to make the Loans.

              (iv)   AUTOMATIC DEBIT. Upon prior notice to the Company, the Bank
                     may debit when due all payments of principal and interest
                     due under

                                       15
<PAGE>

                     the terms of this Agreement to any deposit account of the
                     Company carried with the Bank without further authority.

              (v)    PREPAYMENT. The Loans may be prepaid at any time in whole
                     or in part without penalty or premium.

       SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Bank to make the
Loans, the Company represents and warrants to the Bank that:

       a.     ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY. The Company is a corporation
              organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the
              State of Delaware. The Company is qualified to do business in
              every jurisdiction in which: (i) the nature of the business
              conducted or the character or location of properties owned or
              leased, or the residences or activities of employees make such
              qualification necessary, and (ii) failure so to qualify might
              impair the title of the Company to material properties or the
              Company's right to enforce material contracts or result in
              exposure of the Company to liability for material penalties in
              such jurisdiction. No jurisdiction in which the Company is not
              qualified to do business has asserted in writing that the Company
              is required to be qualified therein. The principal office of the
              Company is located at 306 North Main Street, Monticello, Indiana
              47960. The Company does not conduct any material operations or
              keep any material amounts of property at any other location,
              except the Warehouses. The Company has not done business under any
              name other than its present corporate name at any time during the
              six years preceding the date of this Agreement except for the
              names "Fielder's Choice Direct," "Fielder's Choice," and "Williams
              & Sun, Inc."

       b.     AUTHORIZATION; NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery of this
              Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the execution and delivery of
              all of the other Loan Documents and the performance by the Company
              of its obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Loan
              Documents are within the Company's corporate powers, have been
              duly authorized by all necessary

                                       16
<PAGE>

              corporate action, have received any required governmental or
              regulatory agency approvals and do not and will not contravene or
              conflict with any provision of law or of the Articles of
              Incorporation or ByLaws of the Company or of any agreement binding
              upon the Company or its properties.

       c.     VALIDITY AND BINDING NATURE. This Agreement and all of the other
              Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
              Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
              respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof
              may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
              moratorium and other laws enacted for the relief of debtors
              generally and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
              creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles which may
              affect the availability of specific performance and other
              equitable remedies.

       d.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to the Bank the
              audited financial statements of Landec (which includes the Company
              as a separate segment) as of October 31, 1999, and for the fiscal
              year of Landec then ended and its unaudited interim financial
              statements as of March 31, 2000, and for the month and partial
              fiscal year then ended. Such statements have been prepared in
              accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
              consistently applied except, as to the interim statements, for the
              absence of a statement of cash flows, footnotes and adjustments
              normally made at year end which are not material in amount. Such
              statements present fairly the financial position of the Company as
              of the dates thereof and the results of its operations for the
              periods covered and since the date of the latest of such
              statements there has been no material adverse change in the
              financial position of the Company or in the results of its
              operations.

       e.     LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. No litigation, arbitration
              proceedings or governmental proceedings are pending or to the
              Company's knowledge threatened against the Company which would, if
              adversely

                                       17
<PAGE>

              determined, materially and adversely affect its financial position
              or continued operations. The Company has no material contingent
              liabilities not provided for or disclosed in the financial
              statements referred to in Section 3(d) or in the "Schedule of
              Exceptions" attached as EXHIBIT "D."

       f.     LIENS. None of the assets of the Company are subject to any
              mortgage, pledge, title retention lien, or other lien, encumbrance
              or security interest except for liens and security interests
              described in the exceptions enumerated in Section 6(b).

       g.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Each Plan maintained by the Company is in
              material compliance with ERISA, the Code, and all applicable rules
              and regulations adopted by regulatory authorities pursuant
              thereto, and the Company has filed all reports and returns
              required to be filed by ERISA, the Code and such rules and
              regulations. No Plan maintained by the Company and no trust
              created under any such Plan has incurred any "accumulated funding
              deficiency" within the meaning of Section 412(c)(1) of the Code,
              and the present value of all benefits vested under each Plan did
              not exceed, as of the last annual valuation date, the value of the
              assets of the respective Plans allocable to such vested benefits.
              The Company has no knowledge that any "reportable event" as
              defined in ERISA has occurred with respect to any Plan.

       h.     PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company has filed all federal, state and
              local tax returns and tax related reports which the Company is
              required to file by any statute or regulation and all taxes and
              any tax related interest payments and penalties that are due and
              payable have been paid, except for such as are being contested in
              good faith and by appropriate proceedings and as to which
              appropriate reserves have been established. Adequate provision has
              been made for the payment when due of all tax liabilities which
              have been incurred, but are not as yet due and payable.

              underwritten by any affiliate of the Bank during the underwriting
              period and for thirty (30) days thereafter.

       k.     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Except as disclosed on the "Schedule of

              jurisdiction in which: (i) the nature of the business conducted or
              the character or location of properties owned or leased, or the
              residences or activities of employees make such qualification
              necessary, and (ii) failure so to qualify might impair the title
              of Landec's material properties or Landec's right to enforce
              material contracts or result in exposure of Landec to liability
              for material penalties in such jurisdiction. No jurisdiction in
              which Landec is not qualified to do business has asserted in
              writing that Landec is required to be qualified therein. The
              principal office of Landec is located at 3603 Haven Avenue, Menlo
              Park, California 94025-1010. Landec does not conduct any material
              operations or keep any material amounts of property at any other
              location, except at the principal office of its subsidiary, Apio,
              Inc. located at 4575 West Main, Guadalupe, California 93434 and
              41646 Road 62, Reedly, California 93654, and its subsidiary Dock
              Resins Corporation at 1512 West Elizabeth Avenue, Linden, New
              Jersey 07036. Landec has not done business under any name other
              than its present corporate name at any time during the six years
              preceding the date of this Agreement.

       n.     LANDEC AUTHORIZATION; NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery of
              the Guaranty and the performance thereunder, and the execution and
              delivery of all of the other Loan Documents to which Landec is a
              party and the performance by Landec of its obligations under the
              Guaranty and all of the other Loan Documents to which Landec is a
              party are within Landec's corporate powers, have been duly
              authorized by all necessary corporate action, have received any
              required governmental or regulatory agency approvals and do not
              and will not contravene or conflict with any provision

                                       20

              of law or of the Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws of Landec or
              of any agreement binding upon Landec or its properties.

       o.     LANDEC VALIDITY AND BINDING NATURE. The Guaranty and all of the
              other Loan Documents to which Landec is a party are the legal,
              valid and binding obligations of Landec, enforceable against
              Landec in accordance with their respective terms, except to the
              extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
              insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws enacted for
              the relief of debtors generally and other similar laws affecting
              the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by equitable
              principles which may affect the availability of specific
              performance and other equitable remedies.

       SECTION 4. COLLATERAL FOR THE OBLIGATIONS. The Obligations shall be
secured and supported as provided in this Section.

       a.     SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Obligations shall be secured by a security
              interest in all equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, chattel
              paper and general intangibles of the Company now owned and
              hereafter acquired and in the proceeds thereof, which security
              interest will be created by a Security Agreement (the "Security
              Agreement") in the form attached as EXHIBIT "E." The Security
              Agreement will provide a security interest in the collateral
              described therein subject only to liens and security interests
              described in the exceptions enumerated in Section 6(b).

       b.     MORTGAGE. The Obligations will further be secured by the mortgage
              lien and security interests created by a Mortgage, Security
              Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing (the "Mortgage")
              on the real estate in White County, Indiana, owned by the Company
              and commonly known as 306 North Main Street, Monticello, Indiana
              47960, (referred to in this Section as the "Real Estate"). The
              Real Estate is more particularly described in the form of the
              Mortgage which is attached as EXHIBIT "F." In

              support of the Mortgage, the Company shall provide to the Bank at
              the Bank's expense the following documentation:

              (i)    TITLE SEARCH. The Bank shall obtain a title search which
                     shall show no liens or encumbrances on the Real Estate
                     other than (i) the Bank's Mortgage, if recorded at the time
                     such search is conducted, (ii) standard exceptions as to
                     rights of parties in possession and matters which would be
                     disclosed by survey which do not materially and adversely
                     affect the value or marketability of the Real Estate or the
                     usefulness of the Real Estate in the operations of the
                     Company, (iii) easements not shown by the public records
                     and mechanic's liens not shown by the public records, and
                     (iv) those liens described in the exceptions enumerated in
                     Section 6(b).

              (ii)   FLOOD HAZARD DETERMINATION FORM. The Bank shall obtain the
                     completion of a Flood Hazard Determination Form from a
                     registered land surveyor or engineer pursuant to the
                     requirements of the Office of the Comptroller of the
                     Currency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. If
                     such form shows that the Real Estate is in a flood plain,
                     the Company shall be required to obtain flood hazard
                     insurance as required by the Office of the Comptroller of
                     the Currency in order to close the Loans.

       c.     SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT. The indebtedness of the Company to Landec
              in an amount not less than $7,000,000 shall be subordinated to the
              indebtedness of the Company to the Bank under the terms of a
              Subordination Agreement (the "Subordination Agreement") in the
              form of EXHIBIT "G" attached hereto. The Subordination Agreement
              shall not allow payments of principal to be made by Landec unless
              the Company is in compliance with the following financial
              covenants:

                                       22
<PAGE>

              (i)    RATIO OF LIABILITIES TO TANGIBLE CAPITAL BASE. The Company
                     shall maintain at all times the ratio of its total
                     liabilities less Subordinated Debt to its Tangible Capital
                     Base at a level not greater than 2.00 to1.00. For purposes
                     of testing compliance with this covenant, the term
                     "liabilities" shall include the present value of all
                     capital lease obligations of the Company, determined as of
                     any date the ratio is to be tested.

              (ii)   CASH FLOW COVERAGE RATIO. Semiannually on a year-to-date
                     basis measured as of the end of each April and October, the
                     Company shall maintain a cash flow coverage ratio of not
                     less than 1.50 to1.00. For purposes of this covenant, the
                     phrase "cash flow coverage ratio" means the ratio of: (A)
                     the Company's EBITDA over (B) the sum of the principal paid
                     plus interest expense.

       d.     GUARANTY AGREEMENT. The Obligations shall be supported by the
              unconditional guaranty of prompt payment of Landec, which guaranty
              shall be evidenced by a Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty
              Agreement") in the form of EXHIBIT "H."

       e.     ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSING AGREEMENT. The Obligations shall further
              be secured by an assignment by the Company to the Bank of all of
              the Company's rights, title, and interest in the Licensing
              Agreements entered into between the Company and Landec which
              assignment shall be evidenced by the Collateral Assignment of
              Licensing Agreement (the "Assignment of Licensing Agreement") in
              the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT "I."

       f.     INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. The Bank and Fifth Third Bank, Indiana
              shall enter into an Intercreditor Agreement substantially in the
              form of EXHIBIT "J" attached hereto (the "Intercreditor
              Agreement") setting forth terms

                                       23
<PAGE>

              which, among other things, provide for the acknowledgment by Fifth
              Third Bank, Indiana, as lender to Hubner, of the first priority
              lien rights of the Bank in the Eligible Inventory.

       SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. Until all Obligations of
the Company terminate or are paid and satisfied in full, and so long as the
Commitment or the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Commitment is outstanding,
the Company shall strictly observe the following covenants.

                     and presented in accordance with generally accepted
                     accounting principles, consistently applied (except for

                     concur) in each case setting forth in comparative form

                     unqualified as to scope, of independent certified public

                     normally made at year end, if such adjustments are not
                     material in amount), consistently applied, (except for

                     concur) and present fairly the financial position of the
                     Company and the results of its operation as of the dates of

       SECTION 6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. Until all Obligations of
the Company terminate or are paid and satisfied in full, and so long as the
Commitment or the Capital Expenditure Line of Credit Commitment is outstanding,
the Company shall strictly observe the following covenants.

       a.     RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. The Company shall not purchase or redeem any
              shares of the capital stock of the Company or declare or pay any
              dividends thereon except for dividends payable entirely in capital
              stock, and the Company shall not make any other distributions to
              shareholders as shareholders, or set aside any funds for any such
              purpose, or prepay, purchase or redeem any Subordinated Debt of
              the Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
              foregoing, such distributions, redemptions, dividends and payments
              (each hereinafter called a "Shareholder Payment") may be made at
              any time that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
              exists at the time of the making of such Shareholder Payment or
              would result from the making thereof, and upon compliance with the
              following financial covenants at the time of the making of such
              Shareholder Payments:

              (i)    RATIO OF LIABILITIES TO TANGIBLE CAPITAL BASE. The Company
                     shall maintain at all times the ratio of its total
                     liabilities less Subordinated Debt to its Tangible Capital
                     Base at a level not greater than 2.00 to 1.00. For purposes
                     of testing compliance with this covenant, the term
                     "liabilities" shall include the present value of all
                     capital lease obligations of the Company, determined as of
                     any date the ratio is to be tested.

              (ii)   CASH FLOW COVERAGE RATIO. Semiannually on a year-to-date
                     basis measured at the end of each April and October, the
                     Company shall maintain a cash flow coverage ratio of not
                     less than 1.50 to1.00. For purposes of this covenant, the
                     phrase "cash flow coverage ratio" means the ratio of: (A)
                     the Company's EBITDA over (B) the sum of the principal paid
                     plus interest expense.

       b.     LIENS. The Company shall not create or permit to exist any
              mortgage, pledge, title retention lien or other lien, encumbrance
              or security interest (all of which are hereafter referred to in
              this subsection as a "lien" or "liens") with respect to any
              property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired except:

                     maintain self-insurance or to obtain the benefits of or
                     secure obligations under any law pertaining to worker's
                     compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions,
                     social security or similar matters, or to obtain any stay
                     or discharge in any legal or administrative proceedings, or
                     any similar lien or deposit arising in the ordinary course
                     of business;

              (iii)  any mechanic's, worker's, repairmen's, carrier's,
                     warehousemen's or other like liens arising in the ordinary
                     course of business for amounts not yet due and for the
                     payment of which adequate reserves have been established,

                     encumbrances on or over any real property which do not, in
                     the judgment of the Bank, materially detract from the value
                     of such property or its marketability or its usefulness in
                     the business of the Company;

              (v)    liens for taxes and governmental charges which are not yet
                     due or which are being contested in good faith and by

                     Obligations; and

              (viii) those specific liens now existing described on the
                     "Schedule of Exceptions" attached as EXHIBIT "D."

               to exceed the lesser of the Overline Commitment or the Borrowing
               Base or may result in an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event

               the proceeds of only one Advance per Banking Day. Each Advance
               under the Overline shall be conditioned upon receipt by the Bank
               from the Company of a Borrowing Base Certificate completed as of
               the date of the request. The Bank shall make a disbursement upon
               the oral request of the Company made by an Authorized Officer, or
               upon a request transmitted to the Bank by telephone facsimile
               ("fax") machine, or by any other form of written electronic
               communication (all such requests for Advances being hereafter
               referred to as "Informal Requests"). In so doing, the Bank may
               rely on any Informal Request which shall have been received by it
               in good faith from a person reasonably believed to be an
               Authorized Officer. Upon making each Informal Request, the
               Company shall promptly deliver to the Bank a Borrowing Base
               Certificate completed as of the date of such Informal Request,
               and shall in and of itself constitute the representation of the
               Company that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
               has occurred and is continuing or would result from the making of
               the requested

                                  Page 3 of 9

<PAGE>

               Advance, and that the making of the requested Advance shall not
               cause the principal balance of the Overline to exceed the lesser
               of the Overline Commitment or the Borrowing Base. All borrowings
               and reborrowings and all repayments shall be in amounts of not
               less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), except for repayment
               of the entire principal balance of the Overline and except for
               special prepayments of principal required under the terms of
               Section 2(e)(v). Upon receipt of a request for an Advance, a
               Borrowing Base Certificate, and upon compliance with any other
               conditions of lending stated in Section 7 of this Agreement
               applicable to the Overline, the Bank shall disburse the amount of
               the requested Advance to the Company. All Advances by the Bank
               and payments by the Company shall be recorded by the Bank on its
               books and records, and the principal amount outstanding from time
               to time, plus interest payable thereon, shall be determined by
               reference to the books and records of the Bank. The Bank's books
               and records shall be presumed PRIMA FACIE to be correct as to
               such matters.

         (iii) INTEREST ON THE OVERLINE. The principal amount of the Overline
               outstanding from time to time shall bear interest until maturity
               of the Overline Note at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate
               plus three-quarters percent (3/4%). After maturity, whether on
               the Overline Maturity Date or on account of acceleration upon the
               occurrence of an Event of Default, and until paid in full, the
               Overline shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the
               Prime Rate plus four and three-quarters percent (4-3/4%). Accrued
               interest shall be due and payable monthly on the last Banking Day
               of each month prior to maturity. After maturity, interest shall
               be payable as accrued and without demand.

          (iv) EXTENSIONS OF THE OVERLINE MATURITY DATE. The Bank may, upon the
               request of the Company, but at the Bank's sole discretion, extend
               the Overline Maturity Date from time to time to such date or
               dates as the Bank may elect by notice in writing to the Company,
               and upon any such extension and upon execution and delivery by
               the Company of a Overline Note reflecting the extended maturity
               date, the date to which the Commitment is then extended will
               become the "Overline Maturity Date" for purposes of this
               Agreement.

          (v)  SPECIAL REPAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. At any time the outstanding

                                  Page 4 of 9

<PAGE>

               principal balance of the Overline exceeds the maximum amount
               permitted pursuant to Section 2(e)(i)(B) herein (such amount
               hereinafter called the "Maximum Amount"), as determined on the
               basis of the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate furnished by
               the Company or as determined by the Bank upon an inspection of
               the books and records of the Company, the Company shall
               immediately repay that portion of the principal balance of the
               Overline which is in excess of such Maximum Amount. Such
               repayment shall be due without demand.

          (vi) COMMITMENT FEE. The Bank acknowledges receipt from the Company of
               the sum of $12,500.00, either previous to or contemporaneously
               with the execution of this First Amendment, as a fee for the

any time, with or without cause.

Exercise Price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant; or

                           (ii)     Options granted to any person other than a
Named Executive, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                           (iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
subsections 8(a)(i) or 8(a)(ii) above, in the case of an Option granted on or
after the effective date of registration of any class of equity security of the
Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act and prior to six months after
the termination of such registration, the per Share exercise price shall be no
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                  (b)      PERMISSIBLE CONSIDERATION. The consideration to be
paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the
method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator and may consist
entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) authorization from the Company to retain
from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number
of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised, (4) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (5) any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (6) such other consideration
and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under
Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to
accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may
be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

         9.       EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  (a)      PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria
with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible
under the terms of the Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any

<PAGE>

other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to
be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 13 of the Plan. Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a
decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for
purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as
to which the Option is exercised.

                  (b)      TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. In the event of
termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, such Optionee
may, but only within thirty (30) days (or such other period of time, not
exceeding six (6) months, as is determined by the Administrator) after the date
of such termination (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the
term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her
Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of
such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise
the Option at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise
such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (c)      DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding Section 9(b)
above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an
Employee as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she may, but only within six (6) months (or
such other period of time not exceeding twelve (12) months as is determined by
the Administrator) from the date of such termination (but in no event later than
the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that he or she was
not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he does
not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (d)      DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an
Optionee:

                           (i)      during the term of the Option who is at the
time of his death an Employee of the Company and who shall have been in
Continuous Status as an Employee since the date of grant of the Option, the
Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months (or such other period
of time, not exceeding six (6) months, as is determined by the Administrator)
following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
would have accrued had the Optionee continued living and remained in Continuous
Status as an Employee three (3) months (or such other period of time as is
determined by the Administrator as provided above) after the date of death,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 5(b); or

                           (ii)     within thirty (30) days (or such other
period of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the
Administrator) after the termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, the
Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months

<PAGE>

following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the
Optionee' s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of termination.

                  (e)      RULE 16b-3. Options granted to persons subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain
such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to
qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with
respect to Plan transactions.

         10.      WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition to the exercise of Options
granted hereunder, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the
Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
exercise, receipt or vesting of such Option. The Company shall not be required
to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

         11.      STOCK WITHHOLDING TO SATISFY WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS. At
the discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy withholding
obligations as provided in this paragraph. When an Optionee incurs tax liability
in connection with an Option which tax liability is subject to tax withholding
under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an
amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by one or some combination of the
following methods: (a) by cash payment, or (b) out of Optionee's current
compensation, or (c) if permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, by
surrendering to the Company Shares that (i) in the case of Shares previously
acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a fair market value on the date
of surrender equal to or less than Optionee's marginal tax rate times the
ordinary income recognized, or (d) by electing to have the Company withhold from
the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having
a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld. For this
purpose, the fair market value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined
on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax
Date").

                  Any surrender by an Officer or Director of previously owned
Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon exercise of this
Option must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3.

                  All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld to
satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form
acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the following
restrictions:

                  (a)      the election must be made on or prior to the
applicable Tax Date;

                  (b)      once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to
the particular Shares of the Option as to which the election is made; and

<PAGE>

                  (c)      all elections shall be subject to the consent or
disapproval of the Administrator.

                  In the event the election to have Shares withheld is made by
an Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised but such
Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the
proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

         12.      NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. The Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other
than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided that the
Administrator may in its discretion grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock
Options pursuant to option agreements specifying (i) the manner in which such
Nonstatutory Stock Options are transferable and (ii) that any such transfer
shall be subject to the Applicable Laws. The designation of a beneficiary by an
Optionee will not constitute a transfer. An Option may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or a transferee permitted by this
Section 12.

         13.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION; CORPORATE
TRANSACTIONS.

                  (a)      ADJUSTMENT. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, the number of shares of Common Stock that have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
of an Option, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may
be granted to any employee under Section 8 of the Plan, and the price per share
of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

                  (b)      CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option will terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by
the Administrator. The Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion
in such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by
the Administrator and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option
as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the
Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of a proposed sale of
all or substantially all

<PAGE>

of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such
successor corporation, unless the Administrator determines, in the exercise of
its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the
Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option as to some or all of the
Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable. If the Administrator makes an Option exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be exercisable for
a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will
terminate upon the expiration of such period.

         14.      TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option
shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option or such other date as is determined by the
Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee to
whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

         15.      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

                  (a)      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may amend or
terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem
advisable.

                  (b)      EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. Any such
amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted
and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not
been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the
Optionee and the Company.

         16.      CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.

                  As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may
require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time
of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

         17.      RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this
Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of
the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to

<PAGE>

be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

         18.      OPTION AGREEMENT. Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.
