SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITY

     Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lenders agree to make a Total Credit Facility of up to Sixty Million
Dollars ($60,000,000) available upon Borrowers' request therefor, as follows:

     1.1 Revolving Credit Loans.
         -----------------------

         1.1.1 Loans and Reserves. Each Lender agrees severally, for so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists, to make Revolving Credit Loans to
Borrowers from time to time, as requested by Borrowers in the manner set forth
in subsection 3.1.1 hereof, up to a maximum principal amount at any time
outstanding equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Borrowing Base at
such time less reserves, if any. No Lender's portion of the Loans shall at any
time exceed its respective Pro Rata Share. Agent shall have the right to
establish reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent
shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the amount of Revolving Credit
Loans which Borrowers may otherwise request under this subsection 1.1.1,
including, without limitation, with respect to: (i) price adjustments, damages,
unearned discounts, returned products or other matters for which credit
memoranda are issued in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business; (ii)
shrinkage, spoilage and obsolescence of Inventory; (iii) slow moving Inventory;
(iv) other sums chargeable against Borrowers' Loan Account as Revolving Credit
Loans under any section of this Agreement; (v) amounts owing by Borrowers to any
Person to the extent secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, or
trust over, any Collateral of Borrowers; and (vi) such other matters, events,
conditions or contingencies as to which Lender, in its sole credit judgment,
determines reserves should be established from time to time hereunder.

         1.1.2 Overadvance. Lenders may in their sole discretion and upon their
unanimous agreement, make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers as requested by
Borrowers in accordance with the terms of subsection 3.1.1 hereof at a time when
the unpaid balance of Revolving

                                       2
<PAGE>

Credit Loans exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving
Credit Loan, the Borrowing Base (any such loan being herein referred to
individually as an "Overadvance" and collectively as "Overadvances") (including
any requested seasonal Overadvance facility in an amount up to Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) during the time period beginning on December 31 and ending
on March 31 of any year). All Overadvances shall be repaid on demand, shall be
secured by all of the Collateral and shall bear interest as provided in this
Agreement for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.

         1.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for
Borrowers' general working capital needs in a manner consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement and applicable law.

     1.2 Term Loan. The Equipment Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan each
as defined under the Existing Loan Documents are hereby consolidated and reset
into the Term Loan in the principal amount of $703,900. Each Lender shall be
deemed to have advanced to Borrowers an amount equal to its Pro Rata Percentage
of the Term Loan, which shall be repaid in successive monthly installments in
accordance with the terms of the Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Term
Note ("Term Note"). Each monthly installment shall be due and payable on the
first day of each month, commencing on April 1, 2004, followed by a final
installment which shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of January 1,
2005, termination of this Agreement or acceleration of the Obligations
hereunder. The Term Loan shall be secured by all of the Collateral.

     1.3 Letters of Credit; LC Guaranties. Agent agrees, for so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, and if requested by Borrowers, to (i) issue
its, or cause to be issued by its Affiliates, standby Letters of Credit for the
account of one or more of the Borrowers or (ii) execute LC Guaranties by which
Agent or its Affiliates shall guaranty the payment or performance by Borrowers
of their reimbursement obligations with respect to standby Letters of Credit
issued for a Borrower's account by other Persons in support of Borrowers'
obligations (other than obligations for the repayment of Money Borrowed);
provided that (i) the LC Amount shall at no time exceed $1,000,000 and (ii) no
Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty shall be issued in an amount in excess of the
then existing availability under the Borrowing Base. No Letter of Credit or LC
Guaranty may have an expiration date that is after the earlier of (a) the date
which is 365 days after the date of issuance or (b) the last day of the Term,
except to the extent that Borrowers provide Agent, for the benefit of Agent and
the other Lenders, as applicable, at the time of and as a condition to the
issuance thereof, with collateral acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion in
an amount equal to 105% of the face amount thereof. Any amounts paid by Agent or
its Affiliates under any LC Guaranty or in connection with any Letter of Credit
shall be treated as Revolving Credit Loans, shall be secured by all of the
Collateral and shall bear interest and be payable at the same rate and in the
same manner as Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender agrees that immediately upon
the issuance of any Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty by Agent or Agent's
Affiliate, such Lender shall have acquired an undivided participating interest
(without recourse or warranty) in accordance with such Lender's Pro Rata
Percentage, in all of Agent's or Agent's Affiliate's rights and liabilities with
respect to such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty. Each Lender shall be directly
and unconditionally obligated to Agent or Agent's Affiliate, according to its
Pro Rata Percentage, to reimburse Agent or Agent's Affiliate, without setoff or
deduction of any kind or nature, for honoring any drawing under any Letter of
Credit or making any payment under any LC Guaranty (without regard to the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default including, without limitation,
following the commencement of any

                                       3
<PAGE>

bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceeding).
The amount of Agent's or Agent's Affiliate's payment (and the respective
reimbursements of the Lenders to Agent or its Affiliate) shall automatically
constitute a Revolving Credit Loan without regard to any borrowing condition
herein and without any request, consent or other action of Borrowers.

SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

     2.1 Interest
         --------

         2.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest:
               --------------------------

               (a) Rate Options. At the time of each Revolving Credit Loan under
the Revolving Credit Facility, and thereafter from time to time, Borrowers shall
have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
designate to Agent in writing that all, or a portion of the Revolving Credit
Loans shall bear interest at either the (i) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate or (ii)
Revolving Credit Base Rate. Interest on each portion thereof shall accrue and be
paid at the time and rate applicable to the respective option selected by
Borrowers or otherwise governing under the terms of this Agreement. If for any
reason the Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate option is unavailable, or Borrowers do
not designate that the Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate should apply, the Revolving
Credit Base Rate shall apply. The rate of interest on Revolving Credit Base Rate
Loans shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease
in the Base Rate effective as of the opening of business on the day that any
such change in the Base Rate occurs.

               (b) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option. Provided no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the provisions
of Section 2.1.1 (a)(i) if Borrowers desire to have the Revolving Credit LIBOR
Rate apply to all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans, Borrowers shall
give Agent a written irrevocable request no later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time)
on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date specifying
(i) the date the Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate shall apply (which shall be a
Business Day), (ii) the Interest Period, and (iii) the amount to be subject to
the Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate; provided that, such amount shall be at least
$250,000 and in an integral multiple of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000).

          2.1.2 Term Interest:
                --------------

               (a) Rate Options. On the Closing Date, and thereafter from time
to time, Borrowers shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to designate to Agent in writing that all, or a portion of the
outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest at either the
(x) Term LIBOR Rate, or (y) Term Base Rate. Interest on each portion thereof
shall accrue and be paid at the time and rate applicable to the respective
option selected by Borrowers or otherwise governing under the terms of this
Agreement. If for any reason the Term LIBOR Rate is not available, or Borrowers
do not elect the Term LIBOR Rate, the Term Loan shall bear interest at the Term
Base Rate. The rate of interest on the Term Base Rate Loans shall increase or
decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate,
effective as of the opening of business on the date that any such change in the
Base Rate occurs.

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (b) Term LIBOR Rate Option. Provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the provisions of Section
2.1.2(a) if Borrowers desire to have the Term LIBOR Rate apply to all or a
portion of the Term Loan, Borrowers shall give Agent a written irrevocable
request no later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the third (3rd) Business Day
prior to the requested borrowing date specifying (i) the date the Term LIBOR
Rate shall apply (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Interest Period, and
(iii) the amount of the Term Loan to be subject to the Term LIBOR Rate; provided
that, such amount shall be at least $250,000 and in an integral multiple of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

          2.1.3 Default Rate of Interest. Upon and after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount of
the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%)
above the rate then applicable with respect to Base Rate Loans (the "Default
Rate"). Interest shall continue to accrue and be paid at the applicable rates
set forth herein regardless of the rate option, even after default, maturity,
acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the
happening of any event or occurrence whether similar or dissimilar.

          2.1.4 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest, Letter of Credit and
LC Guaranty fees, and all other fees and collection charges hereunder shall be
calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over
a year consisting of three hundred and sixty (360) days.

          2.1.5 Maximum Interest. In no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of
all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which
a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem
applicable hereto. If any provisions of this Agreement are in contravention of
any such law, such provisions shall be deemed amended to conform thereto. To the
extent the laws of the State of Texas may apply to this Agreement,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable
interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest
under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in
any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for,
charged, received, taken or reserved by a Lender, shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate"), which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by a Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable on the Loans, together with all Charges payable to Lenders
and/or Agent, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. For purposes of Texas law,
the term "Maximum Rate" means the maximum rate of nonusurious interest permitted
from day to day by applicable law, including as to Article 5069, Vernon's Texas
Civil Statutes (and as the same may be incorporated by reference in other Texas
statutes), but otherwise without limitation, that rate based upon the "weekly
ceiling".

     2.2 Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent for
standby Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties of standby Letters of Credit, two
and one-half of one percent (2.50%) per annum of the aggregate face amount of
such Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties outstanding from time to time during
the term of this Agreement, plus all normal and customary charges associated
with the issuance thereof, which fees and charges shall be deemed fully earned
upon issuance of each such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty, shall be due and
payable on the first Business Day of each month and shall not be subject to
rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

                                       5

     2.3 Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent each month, for
its own account, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month, a
collateral monitoring fee of $1,500. Such fee shall be pro-rated for any month
during which this Agreement is in effect for less than a full month.

     2.4 Closing Fee. Agent shall have earned, and Borrowers shall be
unconditionally obligated to pay to Agent on the Closing Date, a closing fee in
the amount of Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000).

     2.5 Unused Availability Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable
benefit of Lenders, an Unused Availability Fee ("Unused Availability Fee"),
which shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar
month hereafter. The Unused Availability Fee shall equal one-quarter of one
percent (.25%) per annum of the amount by which the Revolving Credit Limit
exceeds the average daily amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding plus
the LC Amount during the immediately preceding month.

     2.6 Audit and Appraisal Fees.
         -------------------------

          2.6.1 Audit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent and Documentation
Agent, for their own account, audit fees from time to time in connection with
Agent's and Documentation Agent's periodic audits of Borrowers' books and
records and such other matters as Agent and Documentation Agent shall deem
appropriate, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and
Documentation Agent in connection with such audits. Such audit fees shall be
calculated at the rate of $850 for each member of Agent's and Documentation
Agent's field examination staff engaged in any such audit for each day during
which such examination is being conducted and, absent the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, such audits shall be conducted not less than
three (3) times during each twelve (12) month period, commencing as of the
Closing Date. Appraisal fees shall be payable on the first day of the month
following the date of issuance by Agent of a request for payment thereof to
Borrowers. Upon Borrowers' request, Agent shall provide to Borrowers in
reasonable detail the back-up and support of any out-of-pocket expenses referred
to herein.

          2.6.2 Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall reimburse to Agent and
Documentation Agent, for any costs and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Agent in connection with obtaining appraisals of the Collateral from
time to time. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such
appraisals shall be conducted not more than one (1) time during each twelve (12)
month period, commencing as of the Closing Date. Appraisal costs and expenses
shall be payable on the first day of the month following the date of issuance by
Agent of a request for payment thereof to Borrowers.

     2.7 Overadvance Fee. In the event that Lenders approve Overadvances in
accordance with Section 1.1.2, Borrowers agree to pay an additional fee (the
"Overadvance Fee") to be agreed upon among Borrowers, Agent and Documentation
Agent each time an Overadvance facility is approved. Upon approval of any
Overadvance, Lenders shall have earned, and Borrowers shall unconditionally be
obligated to pay Lenders, the Overadvance Fee, to be shared by Lenders on a Pro
Rata Percentage basis.

                                       6

     2.8 Capital Adequacy Change. If Agent shall have determined that the
adoption of any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any
change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by
Agent or any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental
authority (each such law, rule, regulation, request or directive a "Capital
Adequacy Rule"), does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change
or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from time to time, after submission
by Agent to Borrowers of a written demand therefor (a "Capital Adequacy
Demand"), the Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the account of each such Lender
such additional amount or amounts (each a "Capital Adequacy Amount", it being
understood that Capital Adequacy Amount may include an increase in the
applicable interest rate margin charged under this Agreement) as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction. A certificate of such Lender claiming
entitlement to payment as set forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. Such certificate shall set forth the nature of the occurrence
giving rise to such reduction, the additional Capital Adequacy Amount or Amounts
to be paid to such Lender, and the method by which such Capital Adequacy Amounts
were determined. In determining such Capital Adequacy Amount, such Lender may
use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.

          2.8.1 Termination of Agreement following Capital Adequacy Demand. At
their option, Borrowers may elect to terminate this Agreement following their
receipt of a Capital Adequacy Demand, provided Borrowers give Agent and each
Lender notice of such election not more than thirty (30) days following their
receipt of such Capital Adequacy Demand, and provided, further, that so long as
the effective date of such termination and the payment and satisfaction in full
of all Obligations occurs within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date
of such notice, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any of the charges
described in subsection 4.2.3, it being understood, however, that until such
effective date of termination and the payment and satisfaction in full of all
Obligations, Borrowers shall continue to be obligated to pay Agent for the
account of each Lender for each Capital Adequacy Amount theretofore requested by
Agent on behalf of such Lender pursuant to a Capital Adequacy Demand.

          2.8.2 Subsequent Change in Capital Adequacy Rules. In the event that
any Capital Adequacy Rule, the adoption or change in or compliance by Agent or
any Lender with which shall have resulted in a Capital Adequacy Demand, shall be
revised subsequent to the date of such Capital Adequacy Demand, such that, in
such Lender's determination, its rate of return on capital shall be improved to
a level more favorable than the rate of return which, as a result of the initial
change in such Capital Adequacy Rule, precipitated such Capital Adequacy Demand,
then, in such event, effective promptly following such determination, provided
Borrowers shall not have theretofore given to Agent and each Lender a notice of
election to terminate in accordance with subsection 2.8.1: (i) in the case of a
Capital Adequacy Demand to increase the applicable interest rate margin, Agent
shall reduce the applicable interest rate margin by a percentage; and (ii) in
the case of a Capital Adequacy Demand for payment of a fee or other charge, each
Lender shall rebate to Borrowers a portion of such payment, in each case which
Agent shall determine to be reasonably commensurate with the improvement in such
Lender's rate of return on capital caused by the subsequent revision to the
Capital Adequacy Rule. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary,
neither Agent nor any Lender shall have an obligation whatsoever to make any
such

                                       7
<PAGE>

adjustment to the applicable interest rate margin, or to otherwise rebate any
Capital Adequacy Amount to Borrowers, at any time on or after: (i) the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; (ii) the date of Borrowers'
notice of election to terminate in accordance with subsection 2.8.1; or (iii)
the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

     2.9 Reimbursement of Expenses. If, at any time or times regardless of
whether or not an Event of Default then exists, Agent and/or any Lender incurs
reasonable legal or reasonable accounting expenses or any other reasonable costs
or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) the negotiation and
preparation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any amendment
of or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii)
the administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (iii) any litigation, contest,
dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent or Lenders,
Borrowers or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Borrowers' affairs; (iv) any
attempt to enforce any rights of Agent and/or Lenders against Borrowers or any
other Person which may be obligated to Agent or Lenders by virtue of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
Account Debtors; or (v) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve,
restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the
Collateral; then all such reasonable legal and reasonable accounting expenses
and other reasonable costs and reasonable out of pocket expenses of Agent and/or
any Lender shall be charged to Borrowers. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers
under this Section 2.9 shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral,
shall be payable on demand to Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time. Borrowers shall also
reimburse Agent and/or Lenders for reasonable expenses incurred by Agent and/or
Lenders in the administration of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner
provided in Section 6 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 2.9(i) above, Borrowers shall only be obligated to reimburse GE an
amount up to $35,000 in connection with the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by GE up to the Closing Date for the negotiation, preparation and due
diligence in connection with this Agreement.

     2.10 Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent and/or any Lender, on
demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Agent and/or any Lender pays
to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in connection with (i)
the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers, by Agent
or any Lender, proceeds of Loans and (ii) the depositing for collection, by
Agent or any Lender, of any check or item of payment received or delivered to
Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations.

     2.11 Confirmation of Existing Indebtedness. Borrowers acknowledge and
confirm that as of March __, 2004, they are indebted to FCC, without defense,
set-off or counter-claim under the Existing Loan Documents in the principal
amount of $_____________ ("Existing Indebtedness"). This Agreement and the Notes
and the Surety Agreement, amend, restate and consolidate, but do not extinguish
the indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Loan Documents. The Existing
Indebtedness shall be deemed to constitute Loans hereunder and Borrowers shall
be jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally liable for the
repayment of Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan
Documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, however, does not evidence or represent a refinancing, repayment,
accord and/or satisfaction or novation of the Existing Indebtedness. All of
FCC's obligations to Borrowers with

                                       8
<PAGE>

respect to Loans to be made concurrently herewith or hereafter the date hereof
are set forth in this Agreement. All Liens and security interests previously
granted to or for the benefit of FCC, pursuant to, or in connection with, the
Existing Loan Documents are acknowledged and reconfirmed and remain in full
force and effect and are not intended to be released, replaced or impaired and
are hereunder deemed to be granted to FCC in its capacity as Agent for the
benefit of Lenders. Borrowers confirm that to the extent that any of the Loan
Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Documents) have not been amended
and/or restated, they remain in full force and effect and shall be deemed for
all purposes to be Loan Documents as used herein. In conjunction with the
amendment, restatement and consolidation of the Term Loan referred to herein, no
new funds shall be advanced to Borrowers and appropriate adjustments shall be
made by Lenders to equalize their respective Pro Rata Share of all Loans.

SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

     3.1 Manner of Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans. Borrowings under the credit
facility established pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be as follows:

          3.1.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests. A request for a Revolving Credit
Loan shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner: (i)
Borrowers shall give Agent same day notice, no later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern
time) of such day, of their intention to borrow a Revolving Credit Base Rate
Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days prior notice of their intention to
borrow a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan, in which notice Borrowers shall
specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date;
provided, however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists
a Default or an Event of Default and (ii) the becoming due of any amount
required to be paid under this Agreement, whether as interest or for any other
Obligation, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit
Loan on the due date in the amount required to pay such interest or other
Obligation. As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agent may permit telephone
requests for Revolving Credit Loans and electronic transmittal of instructions,
authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrowers. Unless Borrowers
specifically direct Agent in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or
electronic communications from Borrowers, Agent shall have no liability to
Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrowers as a result of Agent's
honoring any requests, executions of any instructions, authorizations or
agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Agent by Borrowers, and Agent
shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the
authority of the person sending it. Each notice of borrowing shall be
irrevocable by and binding on Borrowers, and if such notice requests the
borrowing of a LIBOR Rate Loan, such notice shall state the Interest Period with
respect thereto. Borrowers, at their option, may choose Base Rate Loans or LIBOR
Rate Loans, provided that any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of
$250,000, and provided, further, that the right of Borrowers to choose any LIBOR
Rate Loan is subject to the provisions of subsection 3.1.4.

          3.1.2 Disbursement. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to
disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested, or deemed to be
requested, pursuant to this subsection 3.1.2. as follows: (i) the proceeds of
each Revolving Credit Loan requested under subsection 3.1.1(i) shall be
disbursed by Agent via wire transfer, in the case of the initial borrowing, in
accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers, and
in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account
as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Agent from time to time or elsewhere if
pursuant to a written direction from

                                       9
<PAGE>

Borrowers; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested under
subsection 3.1.1(ii) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of direct payment of the
relevant interest or other Obligation.

          3.1.3 Authorization. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in
Agent 's sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and to charge to Borrowers'
Loan Account hereunder as a Revolving Credit Loan, a sum sufficient to pay all
interest accrued on the Obligations during the immediately preceding month and
to pay all other Obligations whether in the form of Loans, costs, fees or
expenses at any time owed by Borrowers to Agent and/or any Lender hereunder.

          3.1.4 Notice of Continuation and Notice of Conversion.
                ------------------------------------------------

               (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.1.4(c), Borrowers
may elect to maintain any borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, or any
portion thereof, as a LIBOR Rate Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for
such borrowing, which new Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period (a
"Continuation") shall be made on three (3) Business Days' prior notice, given by
Borrowers to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the third (3rd)
Business Day preceding the date of any proposed Continuation. If the Borrowers
elect to maintain more than one borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans by
combining such borrowings into one borrowing and selecting a new Interest Period
pursuant to this subsection, each of the borrowings so combined shall consist of
Loans having Interest Periods ending on the same date provided that Borrowers
may not combine Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans and Term LIBOR Rate Loans with
each other. If the Borrowers shall fail to select a new Interest Period for any
borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with this subsection,
such LIBOR Rate Loans will automatically convert into corresponding Base Rate
Loans.

               (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.1.4 (c), Borrowers
may, on three (3) Business Days' prior notice given to Lender, convert the
entire amount of or a portion of all Loans of the same Type into Loans of
another Type (a "Conversion"), provided that no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, and provided, further, that any
Conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans may only be made on the
last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans, and upon Conversion
of any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowers shall pay accrued
interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount converted on the
first day of the following month. Each such notice shall be given not later than
11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the date of
any proposed Conversion. Each Conversion shall be in an aggregate amount of not
less than $250,000. Borrowers may elect to convert the entire amount of or a
portion of all Loans of the same Type comprising more than one borrowing into
Loans of another Type by combining such borrowings into one borrowing consisting
of Loans of such other Type; provided, however, that if the borrowings so
combined consist of LIBOR Rate Loans, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall have Interest
Periods ending on the same date and; provided further, that Borrowers may not
combine Revolving Credit Loans and all or a portion of the Term Loan with each
other.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in clauses (a) and (b)
above to the contrary:

                    (i) In the event that Borrowers shall have requested a LIBOR
Rate Loan(s) in accordance with the terms hereof and Agent shall have reasonably
determined that

                                       10
<PAGE>

Eurodollar deposits equal to the amount of the principal of the requested LIBOR
Rate Loan and for the Interest Period specified are unavailable, impractical or
unlawful, or that the rate based on the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost of funds of the LIBOR Rate Loan applicable to the
specified Interest Period, of making or maintaining the principal amount of the
requested LIBOR Rate Loan specified by Borrowers during the Interest Period
specified, or that by reason of circumstances affecting Eurodollar markets,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the rate based on
the LIBOR Rate applicable to the specified Interest Period, Agent shall promptly
give notice of such determination to Borrowers that the rate based on the LIBOR
Rate is not available. A reasonable determination by Agent hereunder shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of the fact and amount of such additional
costs or unavailability, absent manifest error. Upon such a determination, (A)
the right of Borrowers to select, continue or convert to, or maintain a LIBOR
Rate Loan at the rate based on the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until Agent
shall have notified Borrowers that such conditions shall have ceased to exist,
and (B) the requested LIBOR Rate Loans shall accrue interest as if such Loans
were Base Rate Loans.

                    (ii) The LIBOR Rate may be automatically adjusted by Agent
on a prospective basis to take into account the additional or increased cost of
maintaining any necessary reserves for Eurodollar deposits or increased costs
due to changes in applicable law or regulation or the interpretation thereof by
Agent based on the Federal Reserve Board's or any other applicable agency's or
governing body's directive, mandate or interpretation, occurring subsequent to
the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including but not
limited to changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in
corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor or other
applicable governing body), excluding the Reserve Percentage and any Reserve
which has resulted in a payment pursuant to Section 2.5 above, that increase the
cost to Lenders of funding the LIBOR Rate Loans. Agent shall promptly give
Borrowers notice of such a determination and adjustment, which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                    (iii) There shall not be outstanding at any one time more
than an aggregate of six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans.

               (d) Each notice of Continuation or Conversion shall be
irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. In the case of (i) any borrowing of a
Loan, Continuation or Conversion that the related notice of borrowing, notice of
Continuation or notice of Conversion specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate
Loans, or (ii) any payment of principal of, or Conversion or Continuation of,
any LIBOR Rate Loan made other then on the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loan as a result of a payment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of
such Loan or acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations pursuant to
Section 10 hereof, or for any other reason, then in any such case, upon Lender's
demand, Borrowers shall pay to Agent and/or any Lender and indemnify Agent
and/or any Lender from and against (i) any loss, cost or expense incurred by
Agent and/or any Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the
date for such borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 9 hereof, and (ii) any additional losses, costs or expenses
which Agent and/or any Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment,
including, without limitation in each such case, any loss (excluding loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Agent and/or any Lender to
fund the LIBOR Rate Loans to be made as part of such borrowing, Continuation or
Conversion.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          3.1.5 Borrowing Base Certificates. Borrowers shall give Agent a
Borrowing Base Certificate on a daily basis.

          3.1.6 Administration of Revolving Credit Loans.
                -----------------------------------------

               (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date, each
borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be advanced by Agent and each payment
by any Borrower on account of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied in
accordance with Section 11.7 of this Agreement. On or before 12:00 P.M.,
(Eastern time), on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement
Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments
as follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Credit Loans made by
Agent during the preceding week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of
repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Credit Loans during such preceding
week, then each Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Percentage of the difference between (w) such Revolving Credit Loans
and (x) such repayments and (II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied
to outstanding Revolving Credit Loans during such week exceeds the aggregate
amount of new Revolving Credit Loans made during such week, then Agent shall
provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Pro Rata
Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving
Credit Loans.

               (b) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the
          applicable Revolving Credit Base Rate or Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate,
          as applicable, on outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which it has
          funded.

               (c) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit
          to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and
          Revolving Credit Loans made during the week immediately preceding such
          Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the
          absence of manifest error.

     3.2 Payments. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments issued
or made by Borrowers to Lenders specifically containing payment provisions which
are in conflict with this Section 3.2 (in which event the conflicting provisions
of said notes or other instruments shall govern and control), the Obligations
shall be payable as follows:

          3.2.1 Principal.
                ----------

               (a) Principal payable on account of Revolving Credit Loans shall
be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, to Lenders immediately upon the
earliest of (i) the receipt by Agent, any Lender or any Borrower of any proceeds
of any of the Collateral, to the extent of said proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of
an Event of Default in consequence of which Agent elects to accelerate the
maturity and payment of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that if an Overadvance shall
exist at any time, Borrowers shall, on demand, repay the Overadvance.

               (b) Principal payable on account of the Term Loan shall be
payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, as set forth in Sections 1.2,
Section 3.4 and the Term Note.

                                       12
<PAGE>

          3.2.2 Interest. Interest accrued on all Loans shall be payable by
Borrowers, jointly and severally, and shall be due on the earliest of (i) the
first calendar day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed
through the last calendar day of the preceding month, (ii) the occurrence of an
Event of Default in consequence of which the maturity and payment of the
Obligations is accelerated, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 4 hereof.

          3.2.3 Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable
pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally,
as and when provided in Section 2 hereof, to Agent, Lenders or to any other
Person designated by Agent in writing.

          3.2.4 Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the
payment of money, if any, shall be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally,
to Agent or Lenders as and when provided in this Agreement, the Other Agreements
or the Security Documents, or on demand, whichever is earlier.

     3.3 Prepayments.
         ------------

          3.3.1 Except for dispositions of Inventory permitted by Section 8.2.7
(if any), if a Borrower sells any of the Collateral or if any of the Collateral
is lost or destroyed or taken by condemnation, Borrowers shall pay to Agent,
unless otherwise agreed to by Agent, or as otherwise expressly authorized by
this Agreement, as and when received by such Borrower and as a mandatory
prepayment of the outstanding Loans, until paid and satisfied in full, a sum
equal to the proceeds (including insurance proceeds) received by such Borrower
from such sale, loss or destruction. Any such prepayment shall be applied first
to the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity and then to the Revolving
Credit Loans; provided that, if such Loan is accruing interest at the LIBOR
Based Rate, such prepayment shall be delivered to Agent as and when received by
Borrowers but applied at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

          3.3.2 LIBOR Rate Loans. No portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans may be
prepaid during an Interest Period unless Borrowers first satisfy in full their
obligations under Section 3.1.4(d) above arising from such prepayment.

     3.4 Application of Payments and Collections. All items of payment received
by Agent by 12:00 noon, (Eastern time), on any Business Day shall be deemed
received on that Business Day. All items of payment received after 12:00 noon,
(Eastern time), on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following
Business Day. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, all items of
payment received by Agent and/or any Lender shall be deemed applied by Agent for
the benefit of Lenders on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment
of such items) on the second Business Day after receipt (or deemed receipt) by
Agent of good funds in Agent's account located in Chicago, Illinois, or such
other account as to which Agent may advise Borrowers in writing. Borrowers
irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments
and collections at any time or times hereafter received by Agent from or on
behalf of Borrowers, and Borrowers do hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall
have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such
payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by Agent or its
agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent may deem advisable,
notwithstanding any entry by Borrowers upon any of their books and records. If
as the result of collections of Accounts as authorized by subsection 6.4.6
hereof a credit balance exists in the Loan

                                       13

Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers,
but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists.

     3.5 All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans and LC Guaranties
shall constitute one general Obligation of Borrowers, and shall be secured by
Agent 's Lien upon all of the Collateral.

     3.6 Loan Account. Agent shall enter all Loans as debits to the Loan Account
and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrowers on any
Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are paid to Agent and/or
Lenders, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting
practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and
expenses properly chargeable to Borrowers.

     3.7 Statements of Account. Agent will account to Borrowers monthly with a
statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and
such account rendered by Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive
upon Borrowers unless Agent is notified by Borrowers in writing to the contrary
within thirty (30) days of the date such accounting is mailed to Borrowers. Such
notice shall only be deemed an objection to those items specifically objected to
therein.

SECTION 4. TERM AND TERMINATION

     4.1 Term of Agreement. Subject to Lenders' right to cease making Loans to
Borrowers upon or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, this
Agreement shall be in effect for a period commencing as of the Closing Date and
continuing through and including March 9, 2009 (the "Term"), unless this
Agreement shall be sooner terminated as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

     4.2 Termination.
         ------------

          4.2.1 Termination by Lender. Agent may, and at the discretion of
Majority Lenders shall, terminate this Agreement without notice at any time on
or after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

          4.2.2 Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least ninety (90) days prior
written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate this
Agreement; provided, however, no such termination shall be effective until
Borrowers have paid all of the Obligations in immediately available funds and
all Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties have expired or been cash collateralized
to Agent's satisfaction. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be
irrevocable unless Agent and Lenders otherwise agree in writing, and Lenders
shall have no obligation to make any Loans or issue or procure any Letters of
Credit or LC Guaranties on or after the termination date stated in such notice.
Borrowers may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety only. No section
of this Agreement or Type of Loan available hereunder may be terminated singly.

          4.2.3 Termination Charges. At the effective date of any termination of
this Agreement, Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders (in
addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges
owing under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents) as
liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount
equal to (a) three percent (3.0%) of the Total Credit Facility if termination
occurs during the first year of this Agreement, (b) two percent (2.0%) of the
Total Credit Facility if

                                       14
<PAGE>

termination occurs during the second year of this Agreement, and (c) one percent
(1.0%) of the Total Credit Facility if termination occurs during the third year
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, no
termination charge shall be payable under any of the following circumstances:
(a) if termination of this Agreement occurs pursuant to and in accordance with
the terms of subsection 2.7.1; (b) if termination of this Agreement occurs after
the third anniversary, but on or before the last day of the Term; or (c) if
termination occurs contemporaneously with a sale of all or substantially all of
the equity (capital stock) or assets of Borrowers or Guarantor, or all or
substantially all of the capital stock of Guarantor.

          4.2.4 Effect of Termination. All of the Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable upon the termination by Borrowers, Agent or Lenders
of this Agreement. All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and
representations of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents (including without
limitation, all indemnity obligations) shall survive any such termination, and
Agent and Lenders shall retain all of their Liens in the Collateral and all of
their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such
termination until Borrowers have paid the Obligations to Agent, in full, in
immediately available funds, together with the applicable termination charge, if
any. Notwithstanding the payment in full of the Obligations, Agent and Lenders
shall not be required to terminate their security interests in the Collateral
unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent and any Lender may incur as a
result of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Agent or any
Lender from Borrowers or any Account Debtor and applied to the Obligations or
with respect to any outstanding LC Amounts, Agent shall, at its option, (i) have
received a written agreement executed by Borrowers and by any Person whose loans
or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the
Obligations, indemnifying Agent and any Lender from any such loss or damage; or
(ii) have retained such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such
period of time as Agent and any Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may deem
necessary to protect Agent and any Lender from any such loss or damage.

          6.4.2 Discounts, Allowances, Disputes. If any Borrower grants any
discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice

or credits, as the case may be, to Agent as part of the next required Schedule
of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, such
Borrower shall provide Agent with written notice thereof at the time of
submission of the next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for
the dispute, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. Upon and
after the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues without cure for a
period of fifteen (15) days, Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all
disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the
amount or extend the time for payment of the Accounts upon such terms and
conditions as Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs
and expenses thereof, including attorneys' fees, to Borrowers.

          6.4.3 Taxes. If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to
any governmental taxing authority, Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion,
to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing Authority for the account of any
Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that Agent shall
not be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority that may be due
by Borrowers, or any of them.

          6.4.4 Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred, any of Agent's officers, employees or agents shall have
the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of Agent, any designee of
Agent or Borrowers, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating
to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Each Borrower shall
cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any
such verification process.

          6.4.5 Maintenance of Dominion Account. Borrowers shall maintain a
Dominion Account pursuant to a tripartite arrangement among Borrowers, Agent and
a bank or banks as may be selected by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent. Such
arrangement shall include such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Agent.
All funds deposited in the Dominion Account shall immediately become the
property of Agent for the benefit of Lenders, and Borrowers shall obtain the
agreement by such banks in favor of Agent to waive any offset rights against the
funds so deposited. Agent assumes no responsibility for such arrangement,
including, without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release
with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

          6.4.6 Collection of Accounts; Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite
collection, Borrowers shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of
their Accounts for Agent. All remittances received by Borrowers on account of
Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held as
Agent's property for the benefit of Lenders, by Borrowers as trustee, of an
express trust for Agent's benefit, and Borrowers shall immediately deposit same
in kind in the Dominion Account, except as otherwise permitted in this
Agreement. Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that Accounts have been
assigned to Agent and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge
the collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees to
Borrowers. Agent has no duty to protect, insure, collect or realize upon the
Accounts or preserve rights therein.

physical inventory promptly thereafter, together with such supporting
information as Agent shall request.

          6.5.2 Returns of Inventory. If at any time or times hereafter any
Account Debtor returns any Inventory to any Borrower, the shipment of which
generated an Account on which such Account Debtor is obligated in excess of
Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), such Borrower shall immediately notify
Agent of the same, specifying the reason for such return and the location,
condition and intended disposition of the returned Inventory.

          6.6 Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate records, itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and

               7.1.11 Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in
subsection 7.1.10 hereof do not (to the best of Borrowers' knowledge), nor does
this Agreement or any other written statement of Borrowers to Agent and/or
Lender, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading.
There is no fact which Borrowers have failed to disclose to Agent and/or Lender
in writing which materially affects adversely or, so far as Borrowers can now
foresee, will materially affect adversely the Property, business, prospects,
profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrowers or any of their

Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

income and property as and when such taxes, assessments, fees, levies and
charges are due and payable, unless and to the extent any thereof are being
actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and Borrowers
maintain reasonable reserves on their books therefor. The provision for taxes on
the books of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are adequate for all years not
closed by applicable statutes, and for their current fiscal year.

has duly complied with, and its Property, business operations and leaseholds are

injunction, judgment, decree or rule of any court, governmental authority or
arbitration board or tribunal.

               7.1.21 No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists
which would, upon or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
Borrowers' performance hereunder, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
Neither Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries are in default, and no event has
occurred and no condition exists which constitutes, or which with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both would constitute, a default in the payment
of any Indebtedness to any Person for Money Borrowed.

any customer or any group of customers whose purchases individually or in the

Documents shall be continuous in nature and shall remain accurate, complete and

referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any
schedule or in any Surety Agreement given to Agent or any Lender or contained in
any other agreement between Agent or any Lender and Borrowers or Guarantor,
heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative

Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision

     As between Agent, on one hand, and Lenders, on the other hand, Agent and
each Lender, who are now or shall become parties to this Agreement, agrees as
follows (and the Borrowers hereby consent to, and approve, such agreement):

     11.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender, and each subsequent holder
of any of the Notes by its acceptance thereof, hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, Agent will handle all transactions relating to the Loans and
all other Obligations, including, without limitation, all transactions with
respect to Letters of Credit, LC Guaranties, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and all related documents in accordance with its usual practices. The
rights, privileges and remedies accorded to the Agent hereunder shall be
exercised by Agent on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of all Lenders.

     11.2 General Immunity. In performing its duties as Agent hereunder, Agent
will take the same care as it takes in connection with loans in which it alone
is interested. However, neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents
or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them hereunder or in connection herewith except as such action or omission
are caused solely from its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct
unless such action was taken or omitted to be taken by Agent at the direction of
Majority Lenders.

                                       39
<PAGE>

     11.3 Consultation with Counsel. Agent may consult with legal counsel and
any other professional advisors or consultants deemed necessary or appropriate
and selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered
in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or advisors.

     11.4 Documents. Agent shall not be under a duty to examine into or pass
upon the effectiveness, genuineness or validity of this Agreement or any of the
Notes or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection
herewith, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid,
effective and genuine and what they purport to be. In addition, Agent shall not
be liable for failing to make any inquiry concerning the accuracy, performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of such instrument
or document.

     11.5 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its applicable Pro Rata Share in
each of the Loans, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the term
"Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include
Agent in its individual capacity. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
Agent may lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
Borrowers and its Affiliates as if it were not Agent.

     11.6 Responsibility of Agent. It is expressly understood and agreed that
the obligations of Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of
Default, has occurred and is continuing, unless Agent has actual knowledge of
such fact. Except to the extent Agent is required by Lenders pursuant to the
express terms hereof to take a specific action, Agent shall be entitled to use
its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any
rights which may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining
from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in
respect of, this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Agent shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement and the Loan Documents by acting
upon any notice, consent, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument
believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or
parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the
reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or
desirable under the circumstances. It is agreed among Agent and Lenders that
Agent shall have no responsibility to carry out audits or otherwise examine the
books and records or properties of any Borrower, except as Agent in its
reasonable discretion deems appropriate and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The relationship between Agent and each Lender is and shall be that
of agent and principal only and nothing herein shall be construed to constitute
Agent a joint venturer with any Lender, a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or
for the holder of a participation therein nor impose on Agent duties and
obligations other than those set forth herein.

11.7 Collections and Disbursements.
     ------------------------------

          (a) Agent will have the right to collect and receive all payments of
the Obligations, and to collect and receive all reimbursements for draws or
payments made under the Letters of Credit or LC Guaranties respectively,
together with all fees, charges or other amounts due under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and Agent will remit to each Lender, according to its
applicable Pro Rata Percentage, all such payments actually received by Agent
(subject to any required clearance procedures) in accordance with the settlement
procedures established from time to time. Settlements (including adjustments of
the proportionate shares among

                                       40
<PAGE>

the Lenders) shall occur weekly in accordance with Section 3.1.6 on the
Settlement Dates, or more frequently as determined by Agent. Between Settlement
Dates, all collections and payments shall first be applied to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and if FCC is the
Agent, collections and payments received between Settlement Dates shall be used
to reduce FCC's proportionate share of the Revolving Credit Loans.

          (b) If any such payment received by Agent or FCC in its capacity as
the issuer of Letters of Credit or LC Guaranties is rescinded or otherwise
required to be returned for any reason at any time, whether before or after
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender will,
upon written notice from Agent, promptly pay over to Agent its Pro Rata
Percentage of the amount so rescinded or returned, together with interest and
other fees thereon if also required to be rescinded or returned.

          (c) All payments by Agent and Lenders to each other hereunder shall be
in immediately available funds. Agent will at all times maintain proper books of
account and records reflecting the interest of each Lender in the Loans, in a
manner customary to Agent's keeping of such records, which books and records
shall be available for inspection by each Lender at reasonable times during
normal business hours, at such Lender's sole expense. Agent may treat the payees
of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of the transfer thereof
shall have been received by Agent in accordance with Section 11.16. In the event
that any Lender shall receive any payments in reduction of the Loans in an
amount greater than its applicable Pro Rata Percentage in respect of Obligations
to Lenders evidenced hereby (including, without limitation amounts obtained by
reason of setoffs), such Lender shall hold such excess in trust for Agent (on
behalf of all other Lenders) and shall promptly remit to Agent such excess
amount so that the amounts received by each Lender hereunder shall at all times
be in accordance with its applicable Pro Rata Percentage. To the extent
necessary for each Lender's actual percentage of all outstanding Loans to equal
its applicable Pro Rata Percentage, the Lender having a greater share of any
payment(s) than its applicable Pro Rata Percentage shall acquire a participation
in the applicable Pro Rata Share of the other Lenders as determined by Agent.

     11.8 Indemnification. Lenders hereby each indemnify Agent (and Agent's
Affiliates with respect to Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties) ratably
according to the respective amounts of each Lender's Pro Rata Percentage, from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent
(or Agent's Affiliates as the case may be) in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by
Agent (or Agent's Affiliates, as the case may be) under or related to this
Agreement or the Loans, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent's
(or Agent's Affiliate's, as the case may be) gross negligence or willful
misconduct unless such action was taken or omitted to be taken by Agent (or
Agent's Affiliates, as the case may be) at the direction of Majority Lenders.
Agent shall have the right to deduct, from any amounts to be paid by Agent to
any Lender hereunder, any amounts owing to Agent by such Lender by virtue of
this Section.

                                       41
<PAGE>

     11.9 Expenses.
          ---------

          (a) All out-of-pocket costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Agent and not reimbursed on demand by Borrowers, in connection with the
analysis, negotiation, preparation, consummation, creation, amendment,
administration, termination work-out, forbearance and enforcement of the Loans
(including, without limitation, audit expenses, counsel, consultant and expert
fees and expenditures to protect, preserve and defend Agent's, and each Lender's
rights and interest under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents) as
provided elsewhere in this Agreement shall be shared and paid on demand by
Lenders pro rata based on their applicable Pro Rata Percentage.

          (b) Agent may deduct from payments or distributions to be made to
Lenders such funds as may be necessary to pay or reimburse Agent for such costs
or expenses.

     11.10 No Reliance. By execution of or joining in this Agreement, each
Lender acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents solely upon its own independent investigation and is not relying upon
any information supplied by or any representations made by Agent. Each Lender
shall continue to make its own analysis and evaluation of each Borrower. Agent
makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect
to the financial condition of any Borrower, any obligor or any Account Debtor of
any Borrower; the accuracy, sufficiency or currency of any information
concerning the financial condition, prospects or results of operations of any
Borrower; or the sufficiency, authenticity, legal effect, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Agent assumes no
responsibility or liability with respect to the collectibility of the
Obligations or the performance by any Borrower of any obligation under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents.

     11.11 Reporting. During the term of this Agreement, Agent will promptly
furnish each Lender with copies of all notices and financial statements of
Borrowers required to be delivered or obtained hereunder and such other
financial statements and reports and other information in Agent's possession as
any Lender may reasonably request. Agent will promptly notify Lenders when it
receives actual knowledge of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

     11.12 Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time upon giving thirty
(30) days prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Agent may be
removed as Agent hereunder upon the written consent of all Lenders exclusive of
Agent upon the following: (i) willful misconduct in the performance of Agent's
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) if a receiver, trustee or conservator is
appointed for Agent or any state or federal regulatory authority assumes
management or control of Agent or if, under applicable law, the administrative
or discretionary duties and responsibilities of Agent hereunder become
controlled by or subject to the approval of any state or federal regulatory
authority. Upon any resignation or permitted removal of Agent, Lenders
(exclusive of Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent by
majority vote of the other Lenders (based upon the Pro Rata Percentages of the
other Lenders). Upon the acceptance of the appointment as a successor Agent
hereunder by such successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all rights, powers, obligations and duties of the
retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.

     11.13 Action on Instructions of Lenders. With respect to any provision of
this Agreement, or any issue arising thereunder, concerning which Agent is
authorized to act or withhold action by direction of Lenders (or, if applicable,
Majority Lenders), Agent shall in all cases be fully protected

                                       42
<PAGE>

in so acting, or in so refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with
written instructions signed by Lenders (or, if applicable, Majority Lenders).
Such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all Lenders and on all holders of the Notes.

     11.14 Several Obligations. The obligation of each Lender is several, and
neither Agent nor any other Lender shall be responsible for the obligation and
commitment of any other Lender.

     11.15 Consent of Lenders.
           -------------------

          (a) Except as expressly provided herein, Agent shall have the sole and
exclusive right to service, administer and monitor the Loans and the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the right to exercise all rights,
remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement and under the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the credit judgment with respect to
the making of Loans and the determination as to the basis on which and extent to
which Loans may be made and, upon consultation with Agent's Affiliates, the
determination as to whether draws should be honored for Letters of Credit.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
11.15(a) above, Agent shall not without the prior written consent of all

Agreement; (ii) reduce any interest rate applicable to any of the Loans, any fee
payable to Lenders hereunder or any fee for any Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty;

Collateral in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in the
aggregate in any fiscal year provided that Agent may, in its discretion and
without the consent of any Lenders, release insurance proceeds collected under
Section 6.1.2 to Borrowers to permit the repair, reconstruction or replacement
of the loss or damage to Collateral.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
11.15(a) above, and subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section
11.15(b) above, Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of Majority
Lenders: (i) waive any Event of Default; (ii) consent to any Borrower's taking
any action which, if taken, would constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (iii) amend or modify or
agree to an amendment or modification of this Agreement.

          (d) After an acceleration of the Obligations, Agent shall have the
sole and exclusive right, after consultation (to the extent reasonably
practicable under the circumstances) with all Lenders and, unless otherwise
directed by Majority Lenders, to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all
right, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents and available at law or in equity to protect the rights of Agent and
Lenders and collect the Obligations, including, without limitation, instituting
and pursuing all legal actions brought against any Borrower or to collect the
Obligations, or defending any and all actions brought by any Borrower or other
Person; or incurring expenses or otherwise making expenditures to protect the
Collateral, the Loans or Agent's or any Lenders' rights or remedies.

     11.16 Participations and Assignments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that any Lender may at any time (subject to the prior written consent of
Agent): (a) grant participations in up to forty-nine percent (49%) of its Pro
Rata Share of the Loans and of its right, title and interest therein or in or to
this Agreement (collectively, "Participations") to any other lending office of
such Lender or to any Participating Lender; provided, however, that: (i) all
amounts payable by Borrowers to each Lender hereunder shall be determined as if
such Lender had not granted such Participation; and (ii) any agreement pursuant
to which any Lender may grant a Participation: (A) shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations
of Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement; (B) such
participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement without the consent of the
Participating Lender if such amendment, modification or waiver would reduce the
principal of or rate of interest on the Loans, increase the amount of the Total
Credit Facility, or postpone the date fixed for any scheduled payment of
principal of or interest on the Loans; and (C) shall not relieve such Lender
from its obligations, which shall remain absolute, to (subject to the terms and
conditions hereof) make Loans hereunder; and (b) assign, pursuant to a written
assignment and acceptance in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (the
"Assignment") all or any percent of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans, or any
right, title and interest therein or in and to this Agreement to any financial
institution so long as (i) after any such assignment occurs, the Pro Rata Share
of each Lender under this Agreement equals at least $5,000,000, (ii) Agent
consents to such assignment in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (iii) Agent receives an assignment fee from the assigning Lender
(not reimbursable by or chargeable to the Borrowers) of $3,500. Upon the
execution by the assignor and assignee of the Assignment, and delivery to Agent
of the Assignment for acceptance, the assigning Lender shall, to the extent
provided in the Assignment, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement and the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
provided in such Assignment have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder. All Participations and assignments hereunder shall be of all of the
Loans in the same proportion as is the Pro Rata Percentage of all Loans of the
Lender making the assignment or granting the Participation. Each Borrower agrees
that it will use its best efforts to assist and cooperate with Agent in any
manner reasonably requested by Agent to effect the sale of participations in or
assignments pursuant to this Section 11.16, including, without limitation,
assisting in the preparation of appropriate disclosure documents. Borrower
further agrees that Agent may disclose credit information regarding such
Borrower to any potential participant or assignee.

     11.17 Borrowers' Consent. Any amendment to Section 11 (other than Section
11.16) of this Agreement shall not require Borrower's consent.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes,
constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such
Borrower's true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact), coupled with an
interest, solely for the purposes set forth below, and Agent, or Agent's agent,
may, without notice to such Borrower and in either Borrower's or Agent's name,
but at the cost and expense of such Borrower:

          12.1.1 At such time or times upon or after the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default as Agent or said agent, in its sole discretion, may
determine, endorse such Borrower's

                                       44
<PAGE>

name on any checks, notes, acceptances, drafts, money orders or any other
evidence of payment or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession
of Agent or under Agent's control.

          12.1.2 At such time or times upon or after the occurrence of an Event
of Default as Agent or its agent in its sole discretion may determine: (i)
demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the
Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such
Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts;
(ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or
other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts
or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts and other
Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent
deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or
proceeds relating to any Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign such Borrower's
name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account
Debtor or to any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien or similar
document in connection with any of the Collateral; (vi) receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities
to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Agent may
designate; (vii) endorse the names of such Borrower upon any of the items of
payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the
account of Agent on account of the Obligations; (viii) endorse the names of such
Borrower upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill,
bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Accounts,
Inventory and any other Collateral; (ix) use such Borrower's stationery and sign
the names of such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof
to Account Debtors; (x) use the information recorded on or contained in any data
processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the
Accounts, Inventory, and any other Collateral; (xi) make and adjust claims under
policies of insurance, and (xii) do all other acts and things necessary, in
Agent's determination, to fulfill such Borrower's obligations under this
Agreement.

     12.2 Indemnity. Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify Agent and hold Agent
harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage, suit, action or
proceeding ever suffered or incurred by Agent (including reasonable attorneys
fees and legal expenses) as the result of Borrowers' failure, or alleged
failure, to observe, perform or discharge Borrowers' duties hereunder. In
addition, Borrowers shall defend Agent and each Lender against and save each
harmless from all claims of any Person with respect to the Collateral. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, these indemnities shall extend to any
claims asserted against Agent and each Lender by any Person under any
Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of Borrowers' or any other Person's
failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or
other toxic substances. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this
Agreement, the obligation of Borrowers under this Section 12.2 shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     12.3 Modification of Agreement; Sale of Interest. This Agreement may not be
modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by
Borrowers, Agent and Lenders. Borrowers may not sell, assign or transfer any
interest in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the
Obligations, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, Borrowers'
rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder.
Borrowers hereby consent to any Lender's participation, sale, assignment,
transfer or other disposition, at any time or times hereafter, of this Agreement
and any of the other Loan Documents, or of any portion

                                       45
<PAGE>

hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, any Lender's rights, title,
interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder. In the case of
an assignment, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the
same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were "Lender" hereunder,
and Lender shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder upon any such
assignments. Borrowers agree that they will use their best efforts to assist and
cooperate with the transferring Lender in any manner reasonably requested by
such Lender to effect the sale of participations in or assignments of any of the
Loan Documents or any portion thereof or interest therein, including, without
limitation, assisting in the preparation of appropriate disclosure documents.
Borrowers further agree that each Lender may disclose credit information
regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to any potential participant or
assignee.

     12.4 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     12.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, the Other Agreements and the
Security Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of Borrowers, Agent and each Lender permitted under
Section 12.3 hereof.

     12.6 Cumulative Effect, Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Other
Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made coextensive with the
provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 hereof
and except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision
contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with,
any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in
this Agreement shall govern and control.

     12.7 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

     12.8 Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests and
demands to or upon a party hereto, to be effective, shall be in writing and
shall be sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by

SECTION 13. SPECIAL INTER-BORROWER AND GUARANTOR PROVISIONS

     13.1 Certain Borrower and Guarantor Acknowledgments and Agreements.

          13.1.1 Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge that it will enjoy
significant benefits from the business conducted by the other Borrower because
of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including
without limitation their ability to receive the Total

                                       49
<PAGE>

Credit Facility on favorable terms granted by this Agreement and other Loan
Documents which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting
alone. Each Borrower and Guarantor has determined that it is in its best
interest to procure the Total Credit Facility which each Borrower may utilize
directly and which receive the credit support of the other Borrower as
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          13.1.2 The Agent has advised the Borrowers that Agent and Lenders are
unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and make
available the Total Credit Facility extended hereby to any Borrower unless each
Borrower and Guarantor agree, among other things, to be jointly and severally
liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of Borrowers under this
Agreement and other Loan Documents. Each Borrower and Guarantor has determined
that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce
the Lender to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents
executed in connection herewith (i) because of the desirability to Borrowers of
the Total Credit Facility, the interest rates and the modes of borrowing
available hereunder, (ii) because each Borrower may engage in transactions
jointly with the other Borrowers and (iii) because each Borrower may require,
from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein
set forth.

          13.1.3 Each Borrower and Guarantor has determined that it has and,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower
arrangement set forth in this Section 13.1) will have, assets having a fair
saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on
its existing debts as they fall due for payment and that the sum of its debts is
not and will not then be greater than all of its Property at a fair valuation,
that such Borrower and Guarantor has, and will have, access to adequate capital
for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its debts from time to
time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature and that the value of
the benefits to be derived by such Borrower and Guarantor from the access to
funds under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower
arrangement set forth in this Section 13.1) is reasonably equivalent to the
obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.

          13.1.4 Guarantor (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records
specifying (a) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (b) the date of such
incurrence, (c) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such
Obligations and (d) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this Section 13.
Guarantor shall make copies of such records available to the Agent, upon
request.

     13.2 Maximum Amount Of Joint and Several Liability. To the extent that
applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several
obligations of any Borrower and Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Borrower's and Guarantor's obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the maximum
amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability, provided,
however, that each Borrower's and Guarantor's obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their
fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this
Section 13.2 were not a part of this Agreement.

     13.3 Authorization of Guarantor by Borrowers.
          ----------------------------------------

          13.3.1 Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes Guarantor
to give notices, make requests, make payments, receive payments and notices,
give receipts and execute

                                       50
<PAGE>

agreements, make agreements or take any other action whatever on behalf of such
Borrower under and with respect to any Loan Document and each Borrower shall be
bound thereby. This authorization is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable, and the Agent may rely on any notice, request, information supplied
by Guarantor, every document executed by Guarantor every agreement made by
Guarantor or other action taken by Guarantor in respect of the Borrowers or any
thereof as if the same were supplied, made or taken by any or all Borrowers.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more
Borrowers to join in the execution of any writing in connection herewith shall
not, unless the context clearly requires, relieve any such Borrower from
obligations in respect of such writing.

          13.3.2 Borrowers and Guarantor acknowledge that the credit provided
hereunder is on terms more favorable than any Borrower acting alone would
receive and that each Borrower benefits directly and indirectly from all Loans
hereunder. Each of the Borrowers and Guarantor, shall be jointly and severally
liable for all Obligations, regardless of, inter alia, which Borrower requested
(or received the proceeds of) a particular Loan.

                                       51

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
