          2.  CREDIT  ADVANCES.
              -----------------

          (a)  (i)  Subject  to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
the  Ancillary  Agreements,  Laurus  shall  make  revolving credit advances (the
"Revolving  Credit  Advances")  to the Company from time to time during the Term
which,  in  the aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of
(x)  (I)  the Capital Availability Amount minus (II) such reserves as Laurus may
reasonably  in  its  good  faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to
time  (the  "Reserves") or (y) an amount equal to (I) the Borrowing Availability
minus  (II)  the  Reserves.  The  amount  derived  at  any  time  from  Section
2(a)(i)(y)(I) minus 2(a)(i)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the "Formula Amount".

                    (ii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, Laurus
retains  the  right  to  lend  to  the Company from time to time such amounts in
excess  of  such  limitations  as  Laurus  may determine in its sole discretion.

                    (iii)  If the Company does not pay any interest, fees, costs
or  charges  to  Laurus  when  due,  the Company shall thereby be deemed to have
requested,  and Laurus is hereby authorized at its discretion to make and charge
to  the  Company's account, a Revolving Credit Advance to the Company as of such
date  in  an  amount  equal  to  such  unpaid  interest, fees, costs or charges.

                    (iv)  If the Company at any time fails to perform or observe
any  of  the  covenants  contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement,
Laurus  may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the
name,  place  and  stead of the Company (or, at Laurus' option, in Laurus' name)
and  may,  but  need  not,  take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem
necessary  to  cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the
satisfaction  of  Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors,
lessors  or  other  obligors,  the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the
execution  of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the
endorsement  of instruments); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, unless Laurus determines in the
exercise  of  its  reasonable  discretion  that the taking of any such action by
Laurus  is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral or Laurus' rights and
remedies  under  this  Agreement and/or applicable law, the Company shall have a
period  of  not more than ten (10) Business Days to cure or correct such failure
prior  to  Laurus' taking any such action. The amount of all monies expended and
all  costs  and expenses (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred
by  Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of
such  agreements  or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to the
Company's account as a Revolving Credit Advance and added to the Obligations. To
facilitate  Laurus'  performance or observance of such covenants of the Company,
the  Company  hereby  irrevocably  appoints  Laurus, or Laurus' delegate, acting
alone,  as  the Company's attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an
interest)  with  the  right  (but  not  the  duty)  from time to time to create,
prepare,  complete,  execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf
of  the  Company  any  and  all  instruments,  documents,  assignments, security

                                        2
<PAGE>

agreements,  financing  statements,  applications  for  insurance  and  other
agreements  and writings required to be obtained, executed delivered or endorsed
by  the  Company.

                    (v)  Laurus  will  account  to  the  Company  monthly with a
statement of all Loans and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to
this  Agreement,  and  such  account  rendered  by Laurus shall be deemed final,
binding  and  conclusive  unless Laurus is notified by the Company in writing to
the  contrary  within  fifteen  (15)  days of the date each account was rendered
specifying  the  item  or  items  to  which  objection  is  made.

                    (vi)  During  the  Term,  the Company may borrow, prepay and
reborrow  Revolving  Credit  Advances,  all  in  accordance  with  the terms and
conditions  hereof.

                    (vii)  If  any  Eligible  Account is not paid by the Account
Debtor  within  ninety  (90)  days after the date that such Eligible Account was
invoiced  or  if  any  Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency,
set-off,  or  counterclaim  with  respect  to any Eligible Account, such Account
shall  cease to be an Eligible Account and shall reduce Accounts Availability by
the  net  face  amount  of  such  Account.

          (b)  Following  the  occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus may, at
its  option,  elect  to  convert  the  credit facility contemplated hereby to an
accounts  receivable purchase facility. Upon such election by Laurus (subsequent
notice  of  which  Laurus  shall  provide  to the Company), the Company shall be
deemed  to  hereby  have  sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to
Laurus,  and  Laurus  shall  be  deemed  to have purchased and received from the
Company,  all  right,  title  and interest of the Company in and to all Accounts
which  shall  at  any  time  constitute  Eligible  Accounts  (the  "Receivables
Purchase").  All  outstanding  Loans hereunder shall be deemed obligations under
such  accounts  receivable  purchase  facility.  The  conversion  to an accounts
receivable  purchase  facility  in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be
deemed  an  exercise by Laurus of its secured creditor rights under Article 9 of
the  UCC.  Immediately  following Laurus' request, the Company shall execute all
such  further documentation as may be required by Laurus to more fully set forth
the  accounts  receivable  purchase  facility  herein  contemplated,  including,
without  limitation,  Laurus'  standard  form  of  accounts  receivable purchase
agreement  and account debtor notification letters, but the Company's failure to
enter  into  any  such  documentation shall not impair or affect the Receivables
Purchase  in  any  manner  whatsoever.

          3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS. The Company shall be required to (a) make a
mandatory  prepayment  hereunder  at  any  time  that  the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances made by Laurus to the Company
hereunder is in excess of the Formula Amount, in an amount equal to such excess;
and  (b)  repay on the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding
principal  balance of the Loans made by Laurus to the Company hereunder together
with  accrued  and  unpaid interest, fees and charges and (ii) all other amounts
owed  Laurus  under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Any payments of
principal,  interest,  fees  or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any
Ancillary Agreement shall be made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due
date  thereof  in  immediately  available  funds.

                                        3

          4. PROCEDURE FOR REVOLVING CREDIT ADVANCES. The Company may by written
notice request a borrowing of Revolving Credit Advances prior to 12:00 noon (New
York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on that day, a Revolving
Credit Advance. Together with each request for a Revolving Credit Advance (or at
such other intervals as Laurus may request), the Company shall deliver to Laurus
a  Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit A, which shall be certified
as true and correct by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of
the  Company  together  with  all supporting documentation relating thereto. All
Revolving  Credit  Advances  shall  be  disbursed from whichever office or other
place  Laurus  may  designate  from  time  to  time  and shall be charged to the
Company's  account  on  Laurus'  books.  The  proceeds  of each Revolving Credit
Advance  made  by  Laurus shall be made available to the Company on the Business
Day following the Business Day so requested in accordance with the terms of this
Section  4  by  way of credit to the Company's operating account maintained with
such  bank  as the Company designated to Laurus. Any and all Obligations due and
owing  hereunder  may  be  charged to the Company's account and shall constitute
Revolving  Credit  Advances.

          5.  INTEREST  AND  FEES.
          ------------------------

          (a)  Interest.
               --------

                    (i)  Except  as  modified  by  Section  5(a)(iii) below, the
Company  shall pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance
of  each Loan until such time as such Loan is collected in full in good funds in
dollars  of  the  United  States  of  America.

                    (ii)  Interest  and  fees  shall be computed on the basis of
actual  days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At Laurus' option, Laurus may charge
the  Company  account  for  said  interest.

                    (iii)  Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
and  for  so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate
shall  automatically  be  increased  to  five  percent  (5%) per annum above the
Contract  Rate  (such  increased  rate, the "Default Rate"), and all outstanding
Obligations,  including  unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from
the  date  of  such  Event  of  Default  at  the Default Rate applicable to such
Obligations.

                    (iv)  In  no  event  shall  the  aggregate  interest payable
hereunder  exceed  the  maximum  rate  permitted  under  any  applicable  law or
regulation, as in effect from time to time (the "Maximum Legal Rate") and if any
provision  of  this  Agreement or Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any
such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Ancillary
Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such
interest  will  not  exceed  the  Maximum  Legal  Rate).

                    (v)  The Company shall pay principal, interest and all other
amounts  payable  hereunder,  or  under  any  Ancillary  Agreement,  without any
deduction  whatsoever,  including any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.

          (b)  FEES.

                                        4
<PAGE>

                    (i)  CLOSING/ANNUAL FEE. Upon execution of this Agreement by
the  Company  and  Laurus,  the  Company shall pay to Laurus a closing fee in an
amount  equal to two percent (2%) of the Capital Availability Amount. On each of
the  first  and second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to
Laurus  an  annual  fee  equal  to  one percent (1%) of the Capital Availability
Amount. Such fees shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date but shall not
become  payable  until  the occurrence of the execution of this Agreement or the
anniversary  of  the  Closing  Date,  as  the  case  may  be.

                    (ii)  COLLATERAL  MANAGEMENT  PAYMENT.  For  underwriting,
processing  and  supervising  the  Company's  Accounts,  the Company shall pay a
monthly  collateral  management  payment of 0.65% of all Accounts created during
each  month  to  the  extent  that  at the time such Account is created it is an
Eligible  Account  and for which there are outstanding Revolving Credit Advances
against  such Account or against which a Revolving Credit Advance is made during
such  month.  ("Collateral  Accounts"). This payment shall be payable monthly in
arrears  by  a  charge  by Laurus to the Company's account, and shall be paid as
follows: (A) 0.50% of Collateral Accounts to Laurus, and (B) 0.15% of Collateral
Accounts  to  Laurus  Capital  Management,  LLC.

                    (iii)  UNUSED  LINE  FEE.  If,  for  any  month, the average
outstanding Revolving Advances (the "Average Revolving Amount") do not equal the
Capital  Availability Amount, the Company shall pay to Laurus at the end of such
month  a fee (calculated on a per annum basis) in an amount equal to 0.5% of the
amount  by  which  the Capital Availability Amount exceeds the Average Revolving
Amount.

                    (iv)  OVERADVANCE  FEE.  Without  affecting  the  Company's
obligation  to immediately repay any Loans which exceed the amounts permitted by
Section  2  ("Overadvances"),  in  the  event  an  Overadvance  occurs, all such
Overadvances  shall bear interest at a monthly rate equal to 2% of the amount of
such  Overadvances  for  each  month or portion thereof as such amounts shall be
outstanding;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that an Overadvance Fee, or a portion thereof,
payable pursuant to this section attributable solely to a Reserve established by
Laurus  shall  not be payable by the Company if the Company has repaid to Laurus
such  Overadvance or portion thereof within three Business Days after Laurus has
notified  the  Company in writing that such Overadvance has occurred as a result
of  the  Reserve  which  notice  shall  also  include  in  reasonable detail the
calculation of such Overadvance.FINANCIAL INFORMATION DEFAULT. Without affecting
Laurus' other rights and remedies, in the event the Company fails to deliver the
financial  information  required by Section 11 on or before the date required by
this  Agreement, the Company shall pay Laurus a fee in the amount of $750.00 per
week  (or  portion thereof) for each such failure until such failure is cured to
Laurus'  satisfaction  or waived in writing by Laurus. Such fee shall be charged
to  the  Company's  account  upon  the  occurrence  of  each  such  failure.

          6.  SECURITY  INTEREST.
          -----------------------

          (a)  To  secure  the  prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, the
Company  hereby  assigns,  pledges  and  grants  to Laurus a continuing security
interest  in and Lien upon all of the Collateral. All of the Company's Books and
Records  relating  to  the  Collateral  shall,  until delivered to or removed by

                                        5
<PAGE>

Laurus,  be  kept  by the Company in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have
been  paid  in  full.  Each  confirmatory  assignment  schedule or other form of
assignment  hereafter  executed  by  the  Company shall be deemed to include the
foregoing  grant,  whether  or  not  the  same  appears  therein.

          (b)  As  additional  security  for  the payment and performance of the
Obligations,  the Company hereby assigns to Laurus any and all monies (including
proceeds  of  insurance  and  refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due
under, and all other rights of the Company with respect to, any and all policies
of  insurance  now  or  at  any  time  hereafter  covering the Collateral or any
evidence  thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto,
and  the  Company  hereby  directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such
monies  directly  to  Laurus.  At any time, whether or not a Default or Event of
Default  then  exists,  Laurus  may  (but  need  not), in Laurus' name or in the
Company's  names,  execute  and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies,
endorse  checks  and  other instruments representing payment of such monies, and
adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such
policy.

          (c)  The  Company  hereby  (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing
statements,  continuation statements or amendments thereto that (x) indicate the
Collateral  (1)  as  all  assets of the Company (or any portion of the Company's
assets)  or  words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset
comprised  in  the  Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of
such  jurisdiction,  or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater
detail, and (y) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of
the  UCC  for  the  sufficiency  or  filing  office  acceptance of any financing
statement,  continuation  statement  or  amendment  and  (ii)  ratifies  its

the  Company  and  not  delivered in kind to the Blocked Account within five (5)
Business  Days  following  the  Company's  receipt  thereof.

          (b)  At  Laurus'  election, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing,  Laurus may notify the Company's Account Debtors of Laurus' security
interest  in the Accounts, collect them directly and charge the collection costs
and  expenses  thereof  to  the  Company's  account.

     9.  COLLECTION  AND  MAINTENANCE  OF  COLLATERAL.
         ---------------------------------------------

          (a)  Laurus  verify  the Company's Accounts utilizing an audit control
company  or any other agent of Laurus. So long as no Default or Event of Default
shall  have  occurred  and  be  continuing  and/or  Laurus does not believe such
verifications  are necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral or its rights
and  remedies  under  this Agreement and applicable law, Laurus shall not verify
the Company's Accounts more than four (4) times during any calendar year and not
more  than  two  (2)  times  during  any  consecutive  six  (6)  month  period.

          (b)  Laurus  will  credit  (conditional  upon  final  collection)  all
proceeds  of  Accounts  to  the  Company's account three (3) Business Days after
receipt  by  Laurus  of good funds in dollars of the United States of America in
Laurus'  account. Any amount received by Laurus after 12:00 noon (New York time)
on  any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Eligible
Accounts  for  which  proceeds thereof have been received by Laurus shall remain
Eligible  Accounts  until  such  proceeds are credited to the Company's account.

          (c)  As  Laurus receives the proceeds of Accounts, it shall apply such
proceeds to (A) Revolving Credit Advances including Overadvances made by Laurus,
if  any,  (B)  the  interest  and  fees  earned  by  Laurus with respect to such
Accounts,  and  (C)  any  amounts  otherwise  due  Laurus  including,  without
limitation,  pursuant  to  Sections  2,  5(b),  21  and  25  hereof  which  have
theretofore  not  been  paid,  and  if  no  Revolving  Credit  Advances are then
outstanding,  pay  to  the  Company  in weekly intervals the aggregate amount so
collected.  Following  the  occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default,  Laurus  shall  have the right to apply all proceeds of Accounts to the
Obligations  in  such  order  as  Laurus  shall  elect.

          10.  INSPECTIONS  AND  APPRAISALS. At all times during normal business
hours,  Laurus,  and/or  any  agent  of  Laurus shall have the right to (a) have
access  to,  visit, inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verification and
appraisals  of  the  Company's properties and the Collateral, (b) inspect, audit
and  copy  (or take originals if necessary) and make extracts from the Company's

accountants,  and  (c)  discuss  with  the  Company's  principal  officers,  and
independent  accountants, the Company's business, assets, liabilities, financial

service  bureau  maintaining records for the Company. If any internally prepared
financial  information,  including  that  required  under  this  paragraph  is
unsatisfactory  in any manner to Laurus, Laurus may request that the Accountants
review  the  same.

Company,  at the date of the issuance of such projections or estimates, believed

          (g)  The  Company will bear the full risk of loss from any loss of any
nature  whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At the Company's own cost and
expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Laurus, the Company shall (i)
keep  all  its  insurable  properties and properties in which it has an interest
insured  against  the  hazards  of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards

to the Company's including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain a bond
in  such  amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses
similar  to  the  Company's  insuring  against  larceny,  embezzlement  or other

such  loss to Laurus and not to the Company and Laurus jointly. If any insurance
losses  are  paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to the Company and
Laurus  jointly, Laurus may endorse the Company's name thereon and do such other
things as Laurus may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Laurus is hereby
authorized  to  adjust  and  compromise  claims. All loss recoveries received by
Laurus  upon any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order
as  Laurus  in its sole discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by

remain  unpaid  more than sixty (60) days from the due date thereof unless there
exists  an  agreement in writing between the Company and any Person with respect

with  respect  to  such  accounts  payable,  such  amounts  are being diligently
contested  in  good  faith  and  adequate  reserves  with  respect  thereto  are
maintained  on  the  books  of  the  Company  in  conformity  with  GAAP.

          (i)  George Morgenstern, or another person acceptable to Laurus, shall
serve  as  Chief  Executive  Officer  or  Chairman  of  the  Board of Guarantor.

          14.  FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  At any time and from time to time, upon the
written  request  of  Laurus and at the sole expense of the Company, the Company
shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments
and  documents  and take such further action as Laurus may request (a) to obtain
the  full  benefits  of  this  Agreement  and  the  Ancillary Agreements, (b) to
protect,  preserve  and maintain Laurus' rights in the Collateral and under this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (c) to enable Laurus to exercise all or
any  of  the  rights  and  powers  herein  granted  or  any Ancillary Agreement.

          15.  POWER  OF  ATTORNEY.  The  Company hereby appoints Laurus, or any
other Person whom Laurus may designate as the Company's attorney, with power to:

drafts  or  other  forms  of  payment  or  security  that  may come into Laurus'
possession;  (ii)  sign  the  Company's  name  on  any invoice or bill of lading
relating  to  any  Accounts,  drafts  against  Account  Debtors,  schedules  and
assignments  of  Accounts, notices of assignment, financing statements and other
public records, verifications of Account and notices to or from Account Debtors;
(iii) verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account by
mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise with Account Debtors; (iv) do all things
necessary  to  carry out this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and all related
documents;  and  (v)  on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default,  notify  the post office authorities to change the address for delivery
of  the  Company's mail to an address designated by Laurus, and to receive, open
and  dispose  of  all mail addressed to the Company. The Company hereby ratifies
and  approves all acts of the attorney. Neither Laurus, nor the attorney will be
liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact
or  law.  This  power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as
Laurus  has  a  security  interest  and  until  the  Obligations have been fully
satisfied.

          16.  TERM  OF  AGREEMENT.  Laurus'  agreement to make Loans and extend
financial  accommodations  under  and  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of this
Agreement  or  any  Ancillary  Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
until  the  expiration  of the Initial Term. If an Event of Default has occurred
and  is  continuing, Laurus may terminate this Agreement. The termination of the
Agreement  shall  not  affect  any  of Laurus' rights hereunder or any Ancillary
Agreement  and  the  provisions  hereof  and  thereof shall continue to be fully
operative  until  all transactions entered into, rights or interests created and
the  Obligations have been disposed of, concluded or liquidated. Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  Laurus  shall  release its security interests at any time after
thirty  (30)  days  notice  upon payment to it of all Obligations if the Company
shall  have  (i)  provided Laurus with an executed release of any and all claims
which  the  Company  may  have  or  thereafter have under this Agreement and all
Ancillary  Agreements  and (ii) paid to Laurus an early payment fee in an amount
equal  to  five  percent (5%) of the Capital Availability Amount if such payment
occurs prior to the end of the first year of the Initial Term, four percent (4%)
if  such payment occurs after the first year but prior to the end of second year
of  the Initial Term and three percent (3%) thereafter if such early payment fee
occurs  prior  to  the  end  of  the  Initial Term; such early payment fee being
intended  to  compensate Laurus for its costs and expenses incurred in initially
approving  this  Agreement. Such early payment fee shall also be due and payable
by  the Company to Laurus upon termination of this Agreement by Laurus after the
occurrence  of  an  Event  of  Default.

                                       16

          17.  TERMINATION  OF  LIEN.  The  Liens  and  rights granted to Laurus
hereunder  and  any  Ancillary  Agreements and the financing statements filed in
connection  herewith  or  therewith  shall  continue  in  full force and effect,
notwithstanding  the termination of this Agreement or the fact that The Company'
account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until
(a)  all  of  the Obligations of the Company have been paid or performed in full
after  the  termination  of  this  Agreement and (b) the Company has an executed
release  of  any  and  all  claims which the Company may have or thereafter have
under  this  Agreement  and  all  Ancillary Agreements. Accordingly, the Company
waives  any  rights  which  it  may  have  under the UCC to demand the filing of
termination  statements  with respect to the Collateral, and Laurus shall not be
required  to  send  such  termination statements to the Company, or to file them
with  any  filing  office,  unless  and  until  this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements  shall  have  been  terminated in accordance with their terms and all
Obligations  paid  in  full  in  immediately  available  funds.

          18.  EVENTS  OF  DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute  an  Event  of  Default:

          (a)  failure  to  make payment of any of the Obligations when required
hereunder;  provided, however, that in the event such failure to pay arises from
the  occurrence  of  an Overadvance, then the Company shall have 2 Business Days
from  the  notice  thereof  to  cure  such  failure;

               (b) failure to pay any taxes when due unless such taxes are being

Business  Days  from  the  notice  thereof  to  cure  such  failure;

               19.  REMEDIES.  If  an  Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing,  Laurus  shall  have  the  right  to demand repayment in full of all
Obligations, whether or not otherwise due. Until all Obligations have been fully
satisfied, Laurus shall retain its Lien in all Collateral. Laurus shall have, in
addition  to  all  other  rights  provided  herein, the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC, and under other applicable law, all other legal and
equitable  rights  to  which Laurus may be entitled, including the right to take
immediate  possession  of  the  Collateral, to require a Company to assemble the
Collateral,  at  the  Company's expense, and to make it available to Laurus at a
place designated by Laurus which is reasonably convenient to both parties and to
enter  any  of  the  premises  of  a Company or wherever the Collateral shall be
located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same
on  said  premises  until  sold  (and  if  said  premises be the property of the
Company,  the  Company agrees not to charge Laurus for storage thereof), and the
right  to  apply  for  the appointment of a receiver for the Company's property.
Further,  Laurus  may,  at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of
Default,  sell  and  deliver  all  Collateral held by or for Laurus at public or
private  sale  for  cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such
terms  as  Laurus,  in  Laurus'  sole  discretion, deems advisable or Laurus may
otherwise  recover  upon the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as
Laurus,  in  its sole discretion, deems advisable. The requirement of reasonable
notice  shall  be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to the Company at
the Company's address as shown in Laurus' records, at least ten (10) days before
the  time  of  the  event  of  which  notice  is  being given. Laurus may be the
purchaser  at  any sale, if it is public. In connection with the exercise of the
foregoing  remedies,  Laurus  is  granted permission to use all of the Company's
trademarks,  tradenames,  tradestyles,  patents,  patent applications, licenses,
franchises  and  other proprietary rights. The proceeds of sale shall be applied
first  to  all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees, and second
to  the  payment (in whatever order Laurus elects) of all Obligations. After the
indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations,
and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of
law, including Section 608(a)(1) of the Code (but only after Laurus has received
what  Laurus  considers  reasonable  proof  of  a  subordinate  party's security
interest),  the  surplus,  if  any,  shall  be  paid  to  the  Company  or  its
representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. The Company shall remain liable
to  Laurus  for  any  deficiency.

               20.  WAIVERS. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company  waives  (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment,
dishonor,  intent  to  accelerate,  acceleration,  protest, default, nonpayment,
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of
this  Agreement  and  the  Ancillary  Agreements  or any other notes, commercial

                                       19
<PAGE>

paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties
at  any  time  held by Laurus on which the Company may in any way be liable, and
hereby  ratifies  and  confirms  whatever  Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all
rights to notice and a hearing prior to Laurus' taking possession or control of,
or  to  Laurus'  replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or
security  that  might  be  required  by  any  court  prior to allowing Laurus to
exercise  any  of  its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal
and exemption laws. The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel
of  its  choices  and  decisions  with  respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements  and  the  transactions  evidenced  hereby  and  thereby.

               21.  EXPENSES. The Company shall pay all of Laurus' out-of-pocket
costs  and  expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or
outside  counsel  and  appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution
and  delivery  of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (which such amount
shall  not exceed $20,000), and in connection with the prosecution or defense of
any  action,  contest,  dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any
way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement.  The  Company  shall  also  pay  all  of  Laurus'  fees,  charges,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel  and  appraisers,  in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and
delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements,  (b)  Laurus'  obtaining  performance  of the Obligations under this
Agreement  and  any  Ancillary  Agreements,  including,  but not limited to, the
enforcement  or defense of Laurus' security interests, assignments of rights and
Liens  hereunder  as  valid  perfected  security  interests,  (c) any attempt to
inspect,  verify,  protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral,  (d)  any  appraisals  or  re-appraisals  of  any  property (real or
personal)  pledged  to  Laurus  by  the  Company as Collateral for, or any other
Person  as  security  for,  the  Company's  Obligations  hereunder  and  (e) any
consultations  in  connection  with any of the foregoing. The Company shall also
pay  Laurus'  customary  bank  charges  for  all  bank  services (including wire
transfers)  performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for the Company at the
Company's  request or in connection with the Company's loan account with Laurus.
All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees,
taxes  and  interest payable by the Company to Laurus shall be payable on demand
and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority
is  or  may  be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between the Company
and  Laurus  which  Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay, the Company
agrees  to  indemnify and hold Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and the
Company will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged
to  the  Company's  account;  and  until  the  Company shall furnish Laurus with
indemnity  therefor  (or supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due
provision  for  the  payment  thereof  has  been  made), Laurus may hold without
interest  any  balance  standing to the Company's credit and Laurus shall retain
its  Liens  in  any  and  all  Collateral.

               22.  ASSIGNMENT  BY  LAURUS.  Laurus may assign any or all of the
Obligations together with any or all of the security therefor and any transferee
shall succeed to all of Laurus' rights with respect thereto. Upon such transfer,
Laurus  shall  be  released  from  all  responsibility for the Collateral to the
extent  same is assigned to any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or
otherwise  grant  participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any

                                       20
<PAGE>

such  participation  shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus
and  such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as Laurus with respect to any
security  for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant. The Company
agrees  that  each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien,
set-off and counterclaim with respect to its participation in the Obligations as
fully  as though the Company were directly indebted to such holder in the amount
of  such  participation.

               23. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Failure by Laurus to exercise
any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any
supplement  hereto  or  thereto  or  any other agreement between the Company and
Laurus  or delay by Laurus in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver;
no  waiver  by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to
the extent specifically stated. Laurus' rights and remedies under this Agreement
and  the  Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right  or  remedy  which  Laurus  may  have.

               24.  APPLICATION  OF PAYMENTS. The Company irrevocably waives the
right  to  direct  the  application of any and all payments at any time or times
hereafter  received  by  Laurus  from or on the Company's behalf and the Company
hereby  irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing exclusive right
to  apply  and  reapply  any  and  all  payments  received  at any time or times
hereafter  against  the  Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem
advisable  notwithstanding  any  entry  by  Laurus upon any of Laurus' books and
records.

               25.  INDEMNITY.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus,
and  its  respective  affiliates,  employees,  attorneys  and  agents  (each, an
"Indemnified  Person"),  harmless  from  and against any and all suits, actions,
proceedings,  claims,  damages,  losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or
nature  whatsoever  (including attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs
of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may
be  instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as
the  result  of  credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this
Agreement  or  any of the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution,
delivery,  enforcement,  performance  and administration of, or in any other way

               (a)  To  the  extent  that Advances have been made hereunder, the
Holder  shall  have  the  right, but not the obligation, from and after the date
hereof,  and  then  at  any  time  until  the Maturity Date, to convert up to an
aggregate  of  no greater than $600,000 of the principal portion of the Advances
made hereunder and/or interest due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable
shares  of  common  stock of Data Systems & Software Inc. ("DSSI") as such stock
exists  on  the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of
DSSI  into  which  such  stock  shall  hereafter be changed or reclassified (the
"COMMON  STOCK")  at  the  Fixed Conversion Price as defined below. In the event
that  the  Holder  elects  to convert this Note into Common Stock (to the extent
permitted  herein),  the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering

                                        2
<PAGE>
an  executed and completed notice of conversion ("NOTICE OF CONVERSION") to DSSI
and  such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of
the  amount  of  Note  principal, interest and fees that are being converted. On
each  Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice
of  Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Advances,
interest  and  fees  as  entered in its records and shall provide written notice
thereof  to  the Borrower within 2 business days after the Conversion Date. Each
date  on  which  a  Notice  of  Conversion is delivered or telecopied to DSSI in
accordance  with  the  provisions  hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the
"CONVERSION  DATE").  A form of Notice of Conversion that may be employed by the
Holder  is  annexed  hereto  as Exhibit A. DSSI will cause the transfer agent to
transmit  the  certificates representing the shares of the Common Stock issuable
upon  conversion  of  the  Note  to  the  Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within four (4) business
days  after  receipt  by DSSI of the Notice of Conversion (the "DELIVERY DATE").
The  Holder  shall  include in the Notice of Conversion all information required
for crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker at DTC through DWAC,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  the name of the broker, and the broker's DTC
number  and  account  numberThe  Holder  undertakes that all sales of the Common
Stock by DWAC will be in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of
the  Securities  Act  and  will  direct  its  broker  to  do  the  same.

               In  the  case  of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth
herein  the  conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the
shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have
been  issued  upon  the date of receipt by DSSI of the Notice of Conversion. The
Holder  shall  be  treated  for all purposes as the record holder of such Common
Stock,  unless  the  Holder  provides DSSI written instructions to the contrary.

               (b)  Subject  to adjustment as provided in Section 3.1(e) hereof,
the  Conversion  Price  per share shall be $1.50 (the "FIXED CONVERSION PRICE.")
If  after  the  Default  Notice  Period  (as defined below) the Borrower has not
repaid  in  full  the  amounts then due hereunder or cured the Event of Default,
then  the  Conversion  Price shall be reduced and shall be equal to the lower of
(i)  the Fixed Conversion Price; or (ii) seventy percent (70%) of the average of
the three lowest closing prices for the Common Stock on NASD OTC Bulletin Board,
NASDAQ  SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange,
or  New  York  Stock  Exchange  (whichever  of  the foregoing is at the time the
principal  trading  exchange  or  market  for  the  Common Stock, the "PRINCIPAL
MARKET"),  or on any securities exchange or other securities market on which the
Common  Stock  is  then being listed or traded, for the thirty (30) trading days
prior  to  but  not  including  the  Conversion  Date.

               (c)  Notwithstanding  anything  contained herein to the contrary,
the  Holder  shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note
an  amount  that would be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock
which  would  exceed  the  difference between (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock  beneficially  owned  by such holder or issuable upon exercise of warrants
held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of DSSI.
For  the  purposes  of  the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership
shall  be  determined  in  accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
Regulation  13d-3  thereunder.  The  Holder  may  void the conversion limitation
described  in this section upon 75 days prior notice to DSSI or upon an Event of
Default  hereunder.

               (d)  DSSI  understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares
of  Common  Stock  in  the  form  required  pursuant  to this Article beyond the
Delivery  Date  could  result  in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that
DSSI fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the shares of Common Stock to
the Holder via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 3.1(a)
above  and  such  shares  of Common Stock are not delivered to the Holder by the
Delivery  Date,  as compensation to the Holder for such loss, DSSI agrees to pay
late  payments  to  the  Holder for late issuance of the such shares in the form
required  pursuant  to this Article 4 upon conversion of the Note, in the amount
equal  to  the  greater  of (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date or
(ii)  the  Borrower's  actual damages from such delayed delivery. DSSI shall pay
any  payments  incurred  under  this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand  and,  in  the  case  of  actual  damages,  accompanied  by  reasonable
documentation  of  the  amount  of  such  damages.

               (e)  The  Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other
securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains
outstanding, as follows, subject, in each case to the Adjustment Cap (as defined
below):

                    A.  Merger,  Sale  of  Assets,  etc.  DSSI at any time shall
consolidate  with  or  merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its
assets  to  any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion
thereof  and  accrued  interest thereon subject to a limitation of $600,000 less
amounts  of  principal  and interest (i) previously converted by the Holder into
Common  Stock  and (ii) deemed converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Sections  3.1(e)(A)  and  (B) hereof (the "Adjustment Cap"), shall thereafter be
deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other
securities  and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account
of  such  consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the
number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock the Holder could have acquired immediately
prior  to  such  consolidation,  merger,  sale  or conveyance based on the Fixed
Conversion  Price  and  subject  to  the  Adjustment  Cap as of the closing date
thereof.  The  foregoing  provision  shall  similarly  apply  to  successive
transactions  of  a  similar  nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without
limiting  the  generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall
apply  to  such  securities  of  such  successor  or  purchaser  after  any such
consolidation,  merger,  sale  or  conveyance.

                    B.  Reclassification,  etc.  If  DSSI  at any time shall, by
reclassification  or  otherwise,  change  the  Common  Stock  into the same or a
different  number  of  securities  of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid  principal  portion  thereof  and  accrued  interest  thereon  up  to the
Adjustment  Cap, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an
adjusted  number  of  such  securities and kind of securities as would have been
issuable  as  the  result of such change with respect to the number of shares of
Common  Stock  into which the Note would have been convertible immediately prior
to  such  reclassification  or  other  change  at the Fixed Conversion Price and
subject to the Adjustment Cap as of the effective date for such reclassification
or  change.

                    C.  Stock  Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares
of  Common  Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of
shares  of  Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares
of  Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in
case  of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in
the  case  of  combination  of  shares, in each such case by the ratio which the

                                        4
<PAGE>

total  number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
bears  to  the  total  number  of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior  to  such  event.

                    D.  Share  Issuance.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this
Section, if DSSI at any time shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the
conversion  of  the  portion  of  the  principal amount of the Note permitted by
Section  3.1(a) (otherwise than as: (i) provided in Sections 3.1(e)A, 3.1(e)B or
3.1(e)C or this subparagraph D; or (ii) pursuant to warrants or options that may
be  granted  in  the  future  under  any  option  plan  of  the Borrower, or any
employment  agreement,  joint  venture,  credit,  leasing  or  other  financing
agreement  or any joint venture or other strategic arrangement, in each case now
or  hereinafter  entered  into  by the Borrower, (iii) pursuant to any agreement
entered  into  by  the Company or any of its subsidiaries for the acquisition of
another  business  (whether  by  stock  purchase  or  asset  purchase, merger or
otherwise;  ((i),  (ii)  and  (iii)  above,  are  hereinafter referred to as the
"EXCLUDED  ISSUANCES")) for a consideration less than the Fixed Conversion Price
that  would  be  in  effect  at  the  time  of  such issue, then, and thereafter
successively  upon  each such issue, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced
as  follows:  (i)  the  number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior  to such issue shall be multiplied by the Fixed Conversion Price in effect
at  the  time  of  such  issue  and  the product shall be added to the aggregate
consideration,  if any, received by DSSI upon such issue of additional shares of
Common  Stock;  and  (ii)  the sum so obtained shall be divided by the number of
shares  of  Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue. The resulting
quotient  shall  be the adjusted Fixed Conversion Price. Except for the Excluded
Issuances  for purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security of DSSI
carrying  the  right  to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of
any  warrant,  right  or  option  to  purchase  Common  Stock shall result in an
adjustment  to  the Conversion Price upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon  exercise  of  such  conversion  or  purchase  rights.

               (f)  During  the  period  the  conversion right exists, DSSI will
reserve  from  its  authorized  and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares  to  provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of this
Note  to  the  extent  permitted  by  Section  3.1(a). DSSI represents that upon
issuance,  such  shares  will  be  duly  and  validly  issued,  fully  paid  and
non-assessable.  DSSI  agrees  that  the  Borrower's issuance of this Note shall
constitute  full  authority  to DSSI's officers, agents, and transfer agents who
are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute
and  issue  the  necessary  certificates  for  shares  of  Common Stock upon the
conversion  of  this  Note.

               3.3  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.  The  Holder  has  been  granted
registration  rights  with  respect  to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion  of  this  Note  as  more  fully  set  forth in a Registration Rights
Agreement  dated  the  date  hereof  (the  "REGISTRATION  RIGHTS  AGREEMENT.")

               3.4  SALES  LIMITATION. During the six month period commencing on
the date hereof, the Holder shall not sell or otherwise dispose of, on a monthly
basis, the number of shares Common Stock issued upon the conversion of this Note
that  exceeds  25%  of  the average daily trading volume of the shares of Common
Stock on the Principal Market for such month (as determined on a rolling basis).

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                EVENT OF DEFAULT

                                        5
<PAGE>
               If  an  Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder may
make  all  sums  of  principal, accrued but unpaid interests and other fees then
remaining  unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder due and payable
within  10  days  of  written  notice  from  the  Holder  to  the Borrower (each
occurrence  being  a "DEFAULT NOTICE PERIOD") of an Event of Default (as defined
below).  If  during  the  Default Notice Period, the Borrower cures the Event of
Default, the Event of Default will no longer exist and any rights the Holder had
pertaining  to  the  Event  of  Default  will  no  longer  exist.

               The  occurrence  of  any  of  the following events is an Event of
Default  ("EVENT  OF  DEFAULT"):

               4.1  FAILURE  TO  PAY  PRINCIPAL,  INTEREST  OR  OTHER  FEES. The
Borrower  fails  to  pay  any  installment  of principal, interest or other fees
hereon  or  on  any  other  promissory  note  issued  pursuant  to  the Purchase
Agreement,  Registration  Rights  Agreement  and  this  Note  when  due.

               4.2  FAILURE  TO DELIVER COMMON STOCK OR REPLACEMENT NOTE. DSSI's
failure to timely deliver Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to and in the form
required  by  this  Note.

               4.3  DEFAULT  UNDER RELATED AGREEMENT. An Event of Default occurs
under  and  as  defined  in  the Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof
between  Borrower  and  Holder,  as  such agreement may be amended, modified and
supplemented  from  time  to  time.

               4.4  NON-REGISTRATION  EVENT.  An  Event,  as  defined  in  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing; provided,
however,  that the Company shall have thirty (30) days to cure an Event pursuant
to  Section  2(b)(ii)  of  the  Registration  Rights  Agreement.

               If  an  Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder may
make all sums of principal, interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon
and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable, all without
demand,  presentment  or  notice,  or  grace  period,  all  of  which hereby are
expressly  waived.  In the event of an acceleration, the amount due and owing to
the  Holder  shall be 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note (plus
accrued  and  unpaid  interest  and  fees, if any). The remedies under this Note
shall  be  cumulative.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

               5.1  FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the
part  of  the  Holder  hereof  in  the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder  shall  operate  as  a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise  of  any  such  power,  right  or  privilege  preclude other or further
exercise  thereof  or  of  any  other  right, power or privilege. All rights and
remedies  existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights
or  remedies  otherwise  available.
