Base" shall mean the sum of:

amount equal to Borrower's cash collections for the immediately preceding
forty-five (45) day period; plus

                      PBC shall have no obligation to make advances hereunder to
the extent they would cause the outstanding balance of revolving advances under
this Section 2.1 to exceed a maximum amount of ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,400,000.00). PBC is authorized to make advances under
this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone
purporting to be an officer, employee or representative of Borrower, or without
instructions if in PBC's discretion such advances are necessary to meet
Obligations. PBC will charge the amount of advances made under this Section 2.1
to Borrower's loan account. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be
repaid and reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement so long as
no Event of default has occurred and is continuing.

              2.2 TERM LOAN. PBC has agreed to make a term loan to Borrower
evidenced by, and repayable in accordance with, that certain Secured Promissory
Note, of even date herewith, by Borrower to the order of PBC, in the original
principal amount of N/A (the "Term Note"). Obligations owing under the Term Note
shall constitute Obligations, and the Term Note, together with each amendment,
extension, supplement, or replacement thereto, shall be deemed to be a Loan
Document.

              2.3 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Obligations owed by Borrower to PBC pursuant to Section 2.1 is greater than the
dollar or percentage limitation set forth in Section 2.1 (an "overadvance"),
Borrower shall immediately pay to PBC, in cash, the amount of such excess, plus
any fees owing pursuant to Section 2.7(b).

              2.4 INTEREST: RATE; PAYMENTS; AND CALCULATIONS.

                      (a) INTEREST RATE. Except as specified to the contrary in
any Loan Document, the obligations shall bear interest, on the average Daily
Balance, at a rate of EIGHT PERCENTAGE POINTS (8%) above the Base Rate.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                      (b) DEFAULT RATE. All obligations shall bear interest,
from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate of Ten
PERCENTAGE POINTS (10%) above the Base Rate.

                      (c) MINIMUM INTEREST. In no event shall interest
chargeable hereunder be less than ONE PERCENT (1.0%) per month, nor less than
THREE THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,000.00) per month.

                      (d) PAYMENTS. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
on the first Business Day of each calendar month during the term hereof. PBC
shall, at its option, charge such interest and all PBC Expenses to Borrower's
loan account, which amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder.

                      (e) COMPUTATION. The Base Rate as of this date is EIGHT
AND ONE HALF Percent (8.5%) per annum. In the event the Base Rate is changed
from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased by an amount equal to the Base Rate change on the
effective date of such change. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents
shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.

              2.5 CREDITING PAYMENTS. The receipt of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment by PBC shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds
and is made to the appropriate deposit account of PBC or unless and until
such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.
For interest calculation purposes, the receipt of any check, wire transfer,
or other item of payment by PBC shall be deemed to have been paid to PBC FIVE
(5) calendar days after the date PBC actually receives such wire transfer or
possession of such check or other item of payment. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by
PBC after 10:00 a.m. Los Angeles time shall be deemed to have been received
by PBC as of the opening of business on the immediately following business
day.

              2.6 STATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. PBC shall render statements to
Borrower of the Obligations, including all statements of principal, interest,
fees, and PBC Expenses owing, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed

shall deliver to PBC by registered or certified mail at its address specified
herein above, written objection thereto describing the error or errors, if any,
contained in any such statements.

                      (b) OVERADVANCE FEE. Upon the occurrence of any
Overadvance, a fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the dollar amount
of such Overadvance, and every thirty (30) days thereafter that an Overadvance,
or any portion thereof, remains outstanding, a fee in an amount equal to one
percent (1%) of the highest dollar amount of Overadvance existing on any day
during the previous thirty (30) day period.

effective date of this Agreement while any Obligations are outstanding, a fee

month while this Agreement remains in effect, a fee (the "Collateral Management
Fee") in an amount equal to N/A% of Borrower's net sales for the preceding
month. The Collateral Management fee shall be based upon Borrower's sales as
assigned/or reported to PBC each month.

              2.8 TERM; AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. This Agreement shall become effective
upon acceptance by PBC and shall continue in full force and effect for a term
ending May 20, 2003 (the "Renewal Date") and shall be automatically renewed for
successive ONE (1) year periods thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant
to terms hereof. Either party may terminate this Agreement on the Renewal Date
or on any anniversary of the Renewal date by giving the other party at least
ninety (90) days prior written notice by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PBC shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default.

              2.9 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. On the date of termination, all
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand.
No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower
of Borrower's duties, Obligations, and covenants hereunder, and PBC's continuing
security interest in the Collateral shall remain in effect, until all
Obligations have been fully discharged and PBC's obligation to provide advances
hereunder is terminated. If Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2.10, but fails to pay all Obligations as of the
date set in said notice, then PBC may, but shall not be required to, renew this
Agreement for an additional term of one (1) years.

unpaid interest and expense and a prepayment penalty of FIFTEEN THOUSAND Dollars
($15,000.00).

              2.11 TERMINATION UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. If PBC terminates this
Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in view of the
impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by
mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of PBC's lost
profits as a result thereof, Borrower shall pay to PBC upon the effective date
of such termination, a fee ("Early Termination Fee") in an amount equal to THE
MINIMUM INTEREST DUE FOR THE REMAINING TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. The Early
Termination Fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by PBC
as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable
under the circumstances currently existing. The Early Termination Fee provided
for in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed included in the Obligations.

assets has ever been used by Borrower or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge,
by previous owners or operators in the disposal of, or to produce, store,
handle, treat, release, or transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous
substance. None of Borrower's properties or assets has ever been designed or
identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a

and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be automatically deemed repeated
with each advance and shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by
PBC regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by PBC. The
warranties, representation, and agreements set forth herein shall be cumulative
and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations, and agreements
which Borrower shall now or hereafter give, or cause to be given, to PBC.

         6.   COVENANTS

              6.1 AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees that, so

              6.1.1 ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. Borrower at all times hereafter shall
maintain a standard and modern system of accounting in accordance with GAAP with
ledger and account cards or computer tapes, disks, printouts, and records

Original sales invoices evidencing daily sales shall be mailed by Borrower to

shall indicate on their face that the Account has been assigned to PBC and that
all payments are to be made directly to PBC. Borrower shall deliver to PBC, as
PBC may from time to time require, collection reports, sales journals, invoices,
original delivery receipts, customer's purchase orders, shipping instructions,
bills of lading and other documentation respecting shipment arrangements. Absent

to deliver to PBC: (a) as soon as available, but in any event within forty-five

instructions to its independent certified public accountants, authorizing them
to communicate with PBC and to release to PBC whatever financial information
concerning Borrower that PBC may request. If Borrower is a parent company of one
or more subsidiaries, or affiliates, or is a subsidiary or affiliate of another
company, then, in addition to the financial statement referred to above,
Borrower agrees to deliver financial statements prepared on a consolidating

deliver to PBC a designation of Inventory specifying Borrower's cost and the

finished goods, and further specifying such other information as PBC may
reasonably request. Returns and allowances, if any, as between Borrower and its

of Default, any account debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall
promptly determine the reason for such return and, if Borrower accepts such
return, issue a credit memorandum (with a copy to be sent to PBC) in the

                                       15
<PAGE>

                      (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this

payable;

                      (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for
the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents,
or under any other agreement between Borrower and PBC;

guarantor, make such payments and do such acts, as PBC considers necessary or

premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the
Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any
encumbrance, charge, or lien which in PBC's determination appears to be prior or
superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection
therewith. With respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby
grants PBC a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the
same, without charge, for up to ninety (90) days in order to exercise any of
PBC's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of
any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral,
in completing production of advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
PBC's benefit;

                      (i) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private
sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as PBC
determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral
be present at any such sale;

                      (j) PBC shall give notice of the disposition of the
Collateral as follows:

                          (1) PBC shall give the Borrower and each holder of a
security interest in the Collateral who has filed with PBC a written request for
notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the
sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to
be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or
other disposition is to be made;

                                       16
<PAGE>

                          (2) The notice shall be personally delivered or
mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 9.3 of this
Agreement, at least five (5) calendar days before the date fixed for the
sale, or at least five (5) calendar days before the date on or after which
the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is
perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Notice to persons other
than Borrower claiming and interest in the Collateral shall be sent to such
addresses as they have furnished to PBC;

                          (3) If the sale is to be a public sale, PBC shall
also give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at
least five (5) calendar days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held;

                      (k) PBC may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
and

                      (l) Any deficiency, which exists after disposition of the
Collateral, as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Any excess
will be returned to Borrower, without interest and subject to the rights of
third parties, by PBC.

              7.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. PBC's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. PBC
shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided
under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by PBC or one right or remedy
shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by PBC of any Event of Default on
Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by PBC shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

         8.     EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES

              8.1 If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, or otherwise) due to third persons or entities,
or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or
deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, to the extent
that PBC determines that such failure by Borrower could have a material adverse
effect on PBC's interests in the Collateral, in its discretion and without prior
notice to Borrower, PBC may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of
the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves in Borrower's loan
account as PBC deems necessary to protect PBC from the exposure created by such
failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in
Section 6.1.11 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such
policies as PBC deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by PBC shall
constitute PBC Expenses, shall be immediately charged to Borrower's loan account
and become additional Obligations, shall bear interest at the then applicable
rate herein above provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments
made by PBC shall not constitute an agreement by PBC to make similar payments in
the future or a waiver by PBC of any Event of Default under this Agreement. PBC
need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax,
security interest, encumbrance, or lien and the receipt of the usual official
notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was
validly due and owing.

         9.     MISCELLANEOUS
