            2.1.1. REVOLVING ADVANCES.

                  (a) Availability. Bank shall make Advances not exceeding (i)
the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed
Letters of Credit), minus (iii) the FX Reserve, and minus (iv) the aggregate

notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business
Day the Advance is to be made. If such notification is by telephone, Borrower
must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank a completed
Payment/Advance Form in the form attached as EXHIBIT B. Bank shall credit

Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her
designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given
by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower
shall indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

                  (c) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on
the Revolving Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances and the
unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.

            2.1.2. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a) Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for
Borrower's account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Revolving Line or the
Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of any Advances
(including any Cash Management Services), minus (iii) the amount of all Letters
of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), plus an amount
equal to any Letter of Credit Reserves. The face amount of outstanding Letters
of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of
Credit Reserve) may not exceed $5,000,000.00. Each Letter of Credit shall have
an expiry date no later than 364 days after the Revolving Maturity Date provided
Borrower's Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation shall be secured by cash on
terms acceptable to Bank on and after (i) the Revolving Maturity Date if the
term of this Agreement is
<PAGE>
not extended by Bank, or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
All Letters of Credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its
sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank's form
of standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement. Borrower agrees to
execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as
Bank may reasonably request.

                  (b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank
for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever.
Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Bank harmless from any loss,
cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.

                  (c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit
payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for payment
is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an
Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable charges)
in United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in San
Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer to
the country of which it is the currency.

                  (d) Upon the issuance of any letter of credit payable in a
currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve (the
"Letter of Credit Reserve") under the Revolving Line for letters of credit
against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the face amount of such letter of credit. The amount of such
reserve may be amended by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in
the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be
reduced by the amount of such reserve for so long as such letter of credit
remains outstanding.

            2.1.3. FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUBLIMIT. If there is availability under the
Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, then Borrower may enter in foreign
exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to
purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one
business day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contract"). Bank shall
subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange
sublimit which is a maximum of $5,000,000.00 (the "FX Reserve"). The total FX
Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX
Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default
occurs.

            2.1.4. CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES SUBLIMIT. Borrower may use up to
$5,000,000.00 (the "Cash Management Services Sublimit") for the Bank's Cash
Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of
payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in the
various cash management services agreements related to such services (the "Cash
Management Services"). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management
Services Sublimit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for
Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of
Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management
Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue
interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

            2.1.5. EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.

                  (a) Availability. Though September 30, 2003 (the "Equipment
Availability End Date"), Bank shall make advances ("Equipment Advance" and,
collectively, "Equipment Advances") not exceeding the Equipment Line. The
Equipment Advances may only be used to finance Eligible Equipment purchased on
or after 90 days before the date of each Equipment Advance and no Equipment
Advances may exceed 100% of the equipment invoice excluding taxes, shipping,
warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expense relating to such
Equipment, unless such costs constitute Other Equipment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the initial Equipment Advance hereunder (the "Initial Equipment
Advance") may be used to refinance Eligible Equipment purchased with an invoice
date after January 1, 2002, and shall be requested by Borrower within thirty
(30) days after the Closing Date. After repayment, Equipment Advances may not be
reborrowed.

                  (b) Interest Rate. Interest accrues from the date of each
Equipment Advance at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate of the Bank's Prime
Rate, and one half of one percent (0.50%) and is payable monthly.
<PAGE>
                  (c) Repayment.

      payable in (a) 36 consecutive equal monthly installments of principal,
      plus (b) monthly payments of accrued interest, beginning on April 1, 2003,

      March 1, 2006.

                  (ii) Equipment Advances outstanding on September 30, 2003
      (with the exception of Equipment Advances being repaid pursuant to Section

      of principal, plus (b) monthly payments of accrued interest, beginning on
      October 1, 2003, continuing on the first (1st)day of each month
      thereafter, and ending on September 1, 2006.

                  (d) To obtain an Equipment Advance, Borrower must notify Bank
(the notice is irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time
one (1) Business Day before the day on which the Equipment Advance is to be
made. The notice in the form of EXHIBIT B (Payment/Advance Form) must be signed
by a Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment being financed.

            2.1.6 UNDISBURSED CREDIT EXTENSIONS. The Bank's obligation to lend
the undisbursed portion of the Obligations shall terminate if a Material Adverse
Change has occurred, or there has been any material adverse deviation by
Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and
accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.

            2.2. OVERADVANCES. If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1,
2.1.2, 2.1.3, and 2.1.4 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Revolving Line or
(ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay in cash to Bank the
excess.

            2.3. INTEREST RATE; PAYMENTS.

                  (a) Interest Rate. The principal amounts outstanding under the
Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate
of the Bank's Prime Rate, and one quarter of one percent (0.25%). During the
continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at five
percent (5.0%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.
The applicable interest rate hereunder shall increase or decrease when the Prime
Rate changes. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.

                  (b) Payments. Interest is payable on the first (1st) Business
Day of each month. Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are
considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a
payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next
Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to
accrue.

                  (c) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower's
deposit accounts including Account Number [__________] for principal and
interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank shall promptly notify
Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off.

            2.4. FEES. Borrower shall pay to Bank:

warranties in Section 5 remain true.

            4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

            4.1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to
secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the
performance of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing
security interest in, and pledges and assigns to the Bank, the Collateral,
wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all
proceeds and products thereof. Borrower warrants and represents that the
security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest in
the Collateral. During an Event of Default, Bank may place a "hold" on any
deposit account pledged as Collateral.

      Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, as of the date hereof,
Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other
agreement with respect to which the Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or
otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower's
interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall not
enter into, or become bound by, any such material license or agreement which is
reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower's business or financial
condition, unless Borrower provides Bank with written notice within five (5)
Business Days after entering into such license or agreement. Borrower shall take
such steps as Bank reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by,
any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such material licenses
or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Bank to have a security
interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the
terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in
the future.

      Borrower agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of
this Agreement, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to
violate the rights of the Bank under the Code. If the Agreement is terminated,
Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until
Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. If Borrower shall at any time, acquire
a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed
by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank.

            4.2 AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower hereby
authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with
all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest or
rights hereunder.

            5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

            5.1. DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. Borrower and each
Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and
qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in
which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it
be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, the
Borrower delivered to the Bank a certificate signed by the Borrower and entitled
"Perfection Certificate". The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that:
(a) the Borrower's exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection
Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) the Borrower is an
organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's organizational identification number or accurately states that
the Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
the Borrower's place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive
office as well as the Borrower's mailing address if different, and (e) all other
information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to the Borrower
is accurate and complete. If the Borrower does not now have an organizational
identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall forthwith notify
the Bank of such organizational identification number.

            The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have
been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational
documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by
which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which
or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change.
<PAGE>
            5.2. COLLATERAL. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of
Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit account, other than the
deposit accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection
Certificate delivered to the Bank in connection herewith. The Accounts are bona
fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or
delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the
possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse). In the event that
Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any
portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the
written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the
bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower has no
knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor
whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate. All
Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from
material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property,
except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary
course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the
Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in
part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property
violates the rights of any third party {except to the extent such claim could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

            5.3. LITIGATION. Except as shown in the Perfection Certificate,
there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's
Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in
which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.

            5.4. NO MATERIAL DEVIATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All consolidated
financial statements for Borrower and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly
present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material
deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of
the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

            5.5. SOLVENCY. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade
debts) as they mature.

            5.6. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Borrower is not an "investment company"
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment
Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in
extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal
Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with
the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws,
ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's
properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best
of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing,
treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower
and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made
adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in
good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has
obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or
filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are
necessary to continue its business as currently conducted except where the
failure to make such declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

            5.7. SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. Borrower
has not transferred any assets to, or made any investment in Borrower's U.K.
Subsidiary, OneSource Information Services Ltd., or Borrower's U.S. Subsidiary,
Corporate Technology Information Services, Inc., subsequent to November 30,
2002, except for intercompany charges and royalty payments made in the ordinary
course (in accordance with Section 7.7) by and among Borrower and its
Subsidiaries.

            5.8. FULL DISCLOSURE. No written representation, warranty or other
statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank
taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given
to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or
statements, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts
provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not
viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by
such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted
results).

            8.1. PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations

failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension

covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within
fifteen (15) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the
default cannot by its nature be cured within the fifteen (15) day period or
cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such fifteen (15) day
period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then
Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed
thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable
time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of
Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period). Grace
periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to
financial covenants or any other covenants that are required to be satisfied,

            8.3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. A Material Adverse Change occurs;

            8.4. ATTACHMENT. (i) Any material portion of Borrower's assets is

material portion of Borrower's assets; or (v) a notice of lien, levy, or

which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by
such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the
maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) or that could result in a Material Adverse Change;

            9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

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

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

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

                  (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable and
notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in such funds
and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall collect all payments in
trust
<PAGE>
for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

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

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

                  (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and

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

            9.2. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as
its lawful attorney-in-fact, to be effective upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse Borrower's name on any
checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name on any
invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors;
(iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with
account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (iv) make,
settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; and (v)
transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign
Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection
of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred
until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further
obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank's foregoing appointment as
Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with
an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

            9.3. ACCOUNTS NOTIFICATION/COLLECTION. In the event that an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower
money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the
amount of the Account. During the continuance of an Event of Default, any
amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Bank, and,
if requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Bank
in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for
deposit.

            9.4. BANK EXPENSES. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are
Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at
the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank
shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's
waiver of any Event of Default.

            9.5. BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as the Bank complies
with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of collateral,
unless prohibited by applicable law, the Bank shall not be liable or responsible
for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the
Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or
default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears
all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

            9.6. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has
all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's
exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any
Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver,
election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed
by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for
which it was given.
<PAGE>
            9.7. DEMAND WAIVER. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Borrower
waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,
notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

            11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

                  Massachusetts law governs the Loan Documents without regard to
principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts; provided,
however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and
venue in Santa Clara County, California. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE BANK
SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR
ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH THE BANK DEEMS
NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE
ENFORCE THE BANK'S RIGHTS AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.

BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY
CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER
CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

            12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

            12.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement binds and is for the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not
assign this Agreement or any rights or Obligations under it without Bank's prior
written consent which may be granted or withheld in Bank's discretion. Bank has
the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in,
Bank's obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement, the Loan Documents
or any related agreement.

            12.2. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower hereby indemnifies, defends and
holds the Bank and its officers, employees and agents against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other party in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all
losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from, following, or
consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

            12.3. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Borrower and any guarantor hereby grant to
Bank, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all
Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against
all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the
control of the Bank or in transit to any of them. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any
part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower and
any guarantor then due and payable and regardless of the adequacy of any other
collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO
EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH
SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

            12.4. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for the performance of
all Obligations in this Agreement.

            12.5. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISION. Each provision of this Agreement is
severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any
provision.

            12.6. AMENDMENTS IN WRITING; INTEGRATION. All amendments to this
Agreement must be in writing signed by both Bank and Borrower. This Agreement
and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter,
and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge
into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

            12.7. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which,
when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute
one Agreement.

            12.8. SURVIVAL. All covenants, representations and warranties made
in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain
outstanding. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall
survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of
action shall have run.

            12.9. CONFIDENTIALITY. In handling any information of Borrower, Bank
shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own
confidential and proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be
made: (i) to Bank's subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business
with Borrower; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in
the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable
efforts in obtaining such prospective transferee's or purchaser's agreement to
the terms of this provision); (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or
other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank's examination or audit;
and (v) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this
Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that either:
(a) is in the public domain or in Bank's possession
<PAGE>
when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to
Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that
the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

      The Collateral consists of all right, title and interest of Borrower in
and to the following:

      All goods, equipment, inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of
money, license agreements, franchise agreements, general intangibles (including
payment intangibles), accounts (including health-care receivables), documents,
instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or

financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and

      All Borrower's Books relating to the foregoing and any and all claims,
rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions,
attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements,
products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

      The Collateral does not include:

Any copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like

foregoing, the Collateral shall include all accounts, license and royalty fees
and other revenues, proceeds, or income arising out of or relating to any of the

holds that a security interest in any Intellectual Property is necessary to have
a security interest in any accounts, license and royalty fees and other
revenues, proceeds, or income arising out of or relating to any of the foregoing
Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall, effective as of the Closing
Date, include the Intellectual Property, to the extent necessary to permit
perfection of the Bank's security interest in such accounts, license and royalty
fees and other revenues, proceeds, or income arising out of or relating to any
of the Intellectual Property.
