                                    by the Lender on each of the installment
                                    dates preceding the last installment date
                                    (i.e., the first 47 installments) shall be

                                    annexed to the Term Note; provided, however,
                                    that the failure of the Lender to set forth
                                    each such payment and other information
                                    shall not in any manner affect the

                                    schedule and the books and records of the
                                    Lender shall constitute presumptive evidence
                                    of the information so recorded absent
                                    demonstrable error.

                  (a)      Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions set
                           forth in this Agreement, upon the written request of
                           the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of
                           another Borrower in accordance herewith), the Lender
                           shall issue Letters of Credit from time to time
                           during the Commitment Period relating to Revolving
                           Credit Loans in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding
                           the foregoing, at no time shall there be more than
                           one Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder or shall
                           the Aggregate Letters of Credit Outstandings exceed
                           $500,000. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything
                           contained herein to the contrary, no Letter of Credit
                           shall be issued if, after giving effect to the same,
                           (A) Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would
                           exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base in effect
                           on the date of such extension of credit and (ii) the
                           Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) Adjusted Aggregate
                           Outstandings would exceed the lesser of (i) the
                           Borrowing Base in effect on the date of such
                           extension of credit and (ii) the Adjusted Total
                           Commitment. Furthermore, no Letter of Credit shall be
                           issued without the consent of the Lender during the
                           occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. An
                           initial Letter of Credit (the "Initial Letter of
                           Credit") shall be issued by the Lender on the Closing
                           Date in connection with the lease by U.S. Concepts,
                           Inc. of certain premises located at 75 Ninth Avenue,
                           New York, New York (the "US Concepts Lease"); it
                           shall expire on the date which is 365 days
                           thereafter, provided that such Letter of Credit shall
                           automatically renew for two additional, consecutive
                           365 day periods thereafter unless at the date of any
                           such renewal, the Commitment Period relating to
                           Revolving Credit Loans shall have expired or the
                           Revolving Credit Commitment shall have terminated;
                           the amount of such Initial Letter of Credit (and any
                           renewals thereof) shall be $500,000, but in no event
                           shall exceed $500,000; and the beneficiary of such
                           Letter of Credit (and any renewals thereof) shall be
                           AMB Property, L.P. Each Letter of Credit issued by
                           the Lender hereunder shall identify the drafts and
                           other documents necessary to be presented to the
                           Lender upon drawing thereunder. In no event shall any
                           Letter of Credit expire (or by its terms be required
                           to be borrowed) after the Termination Date. The
                           Lender will not be required to issue a Letter of
                           Credit hereunder with a maturity or expiry date (i)
                           other than as expressly set forth above with respect
                           to the Initial Letter of Credit, more than three
                           hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of
                           issuance of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) on or
                           after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination
                           Date. The Borrowers agree to execute and deliver to
                           the Lender such further documents and instruments in
                           connection with any Letter of Credit issued hereunder
                           (including without limitation, applications therefor)
                           as the Lender in accordance with its customary
                           practices may reasonably request; provided that if
                           there shall be any conflicts between the provisions
                           of any such documents or instruments and the
                           provisions of this Agreement, the provisions hereof
                           will govern.

                           of such drawing, or if such notice has not been
                           received by the Company (with respect to its account
                           or with respect to the accounts of any or all of the
                           Borrowers) prior to such time on such date, then not
                           later than 4:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the
                           Business Day immediately following the day that the
                           Company receives such notice; provided, however, if
                           any drawing is in an amount equal to or greater than
                           $100,000, the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf
                           of any or all of the Borrowers) may, subject to the
                           conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
                           accordance with Section 2.01 hereof that such payment
                           be financed with a Revolving Credit Loan in an
                           equivalent amount, and, to the extent so financed,
                           the Borrowers' obligation to make such payment shall
                           be discharged and replaced by such a Revolving Credit
                           Loan. Such request shall be made by the Company (on
                           its own behalf or on behalf of any or all of the
                           Borrowers) on the date of receipt of notice from the
                           Lender of a drawing under a Letter of Credit as
                           applicable. Each drawing under a Letter of Credit
                           which is not paid on the date such drawing is made
                           shall accrue interest, for each day from and
                           including the date of such drawing to but excluding
                           the date that the Borrowers reimburse the Lender in
                           full for such drawing at the rate per annum then
                           applicable to Loans which are Revolving Credit Loans;
                           provided, however, that if the Borrowers fail to
                           reimburse such drawing when due pursuant to this
                           paragraph (b), then the Borrowers shall pay to the
                           Lender interest on the amount of such drawing at the
                           rate per annum set forth in Section 3.01(c) hereof.

                  (c)      Letter of Credit Obligations Absolute.

                           (i)      The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse
                                    the Lender as provided hereunder in respect
                                    of drawings under Letters of Credit issued
                                    hereunder shall be absolute and
                                    unconditional under any and all
                                    circumstances subject to subsection (ii)
                                    below. Without limiting the generality of
                                    the foregoing, the obligation of the
                                    Borrowers to reimburse the Lender in respect
                                    of drawings under Letters of Credit shall
                                    not be subject to any defense based on the
                                    non-application or misapplication by the
                                    beneficiary of the proceeds of any such
                                    drawing or the legality, validity,
                                    regularity or enforceability of the Letters

                                    though such document shall in fact prove to
                                    be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any
                                    dispute between or among any of the
                                    Borrowers, the beneficiary of any Letter of
                                    Credit, or any financial institution or
                                    other party to which any Letter of Credit
                                    may be transferred. The Lender may accept or
                                    pay any draft presented to it under any
                                    Letter of Credit regardless of when drawn or
                                    made and whether or not negotiated, if such
                                    draft, accompanying certificate or documents
                                    and any transmittal advice are presented or
                                    negotiated on or before the expiry date of
                                    such Letter of Credit or any renewal or
                                    extension thereof then in effect, and is in
                                    substantial compliance with the terms and
                                    conditions of such Letter of Credit.
                                    Furthermore, neither the Lender nor any of
                                    its correspondents shall be responsible, as
                                    to any document presented under a Letter of
                                    Credit which appears to be regular on its
                                    face, and appears on its face to be in
                                    substantial compliance with the terms of the
                                    Letter of Credit, for the validity or
                                    sufficiency of any signature or endorsement,
                                    for delay in giving any notice or failure of
                                    any instrument to bear adequate reference to
                                    the Letter of Credit, or for failure of any
                                    Person to note the amount of any draft on
                                    the reverse of the Letter of Credit. The
                                    Lender shall have the right, in its sole
                                    discretion, to decline to accept any
                                    documents and to decline to make payment
                                    under any Letter of Credit if the documents
                                    presented are not in strict compliance with
                                    the terms of such Letter of Credit.

                           (ii)     Any action, inaction or omission on the part
                                    of the Lender or any of its correspondents
                                    under or in connection with any Letter of
                                    Credit or the related instruments, documents
                                    or property, if in good faith and in
                                    conformity with such laws, regulations or
                                    customs as are applicable, shall be binding
                                    upon the Borrowers and shall not place the
                                    Lender or any of its correspondents under
                                    any liability to the Borrowers in the
                                    absence of (x) gross negligence or willful
                                    misconduct by the Lender or its
                                    correspondents or (y) the failure by the
                                    Lender to pay under a Letter of Credit after
                                    presentation of a draft and documents
                                    strictly complying with such Letter of
                                    Credit unless the Lender is prohibited from
                                    making such payment pursuant to a court
                                    order. The Lender's rights, powers,
                                    privileges and immunities specified in or
                                    arising under this Agreement are in addition
                                    to any heretofore or at any time hereafter
                                    otherwise created or arising, whether by
                                    statute or rule of law or contract. All
                                    Letters of Credit issued hereunder will,
                                    except to the extent otherwise expressly
                                    provided hereunder, be governed by the UCP
                                    to the extent applicable and not
                                    inconsistent with the laws of the State of
                                    New York.

                PROVISIONS RELATING TO ALL EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT;
                                FEES AND PAYMENTS

                  Section 3.01.     Interest Rate.

                  (a)      Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest for
                           the period from and after the date thereof on the
                           unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate
                           per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the applicable
                           Interest Rate Margin.

                  (b)      (i) The Term Loan shall bear interest for the period
                           from and after the Closing Date on the unpaid
                           principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per
                           annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the applicable
                           Interest Rate Margin, and (ii) the Second Term Loan
                           shall bear interest for the period from and after the
                           Effective Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof
                           at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to
                           the Prime Rate plus the applicable Interest Rate
                           Margin.

                  (c)      If the entire amount of any required principal and/or
                           interest is not paid in full within ten (10) days
                           after the same is due, the Borrowers shall pay to the
                           Lender a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the
                           required payment. Upon the occurrence and during the
                           continuance of an Event of Default the outstanding
                           principal amount of the Loans shall, at the option of
                           the Lender, bear interest payable on demand at a rate
                           of interest of four percent (4%) per annum in excess
                           of the interest rate otherwise then in effect.

                  (d)      Anything in this Agreement or in either of the Notes
                           to the contrary notwithstanding, all agreements
                           between the Borrowers, the Guarantor(s) and the
                           Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no
                           contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
                           acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness
                           evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid
                           or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use or the
                           forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby
                           exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law.
                           As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean
                           the law in effect as of the Closing Date; provided,
                           however, that in the event there is a change in the
                           law which results in a higher permissible rate of
                           interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by
                           such new law as of its effective date. In this
                           regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent
                           of the Borrowers and the Lender in the execution,
                           delivery and acceptance of this Agreement to contract
                           in strict compliance with the laws of the State of
                           New York from time to time in effect. If, under or
                           from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
                           provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at
                           the time of performance of such provision shall be

                           due, shall involve transcending the limit of such
                           validity prescribed by applicable law, then the
                           obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be
                           reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under
                           or from any circumstances whatsoever the Lender
                           should ever receive as interest an amount which would
                           exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which
                           would be excessive interest shall be applied to the
                           reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby
                           and not to the payment of interest. This provision
                           shall control every other provision of all agreements
                           between any or all of the Borrowers, the Guarantor(s)
                           and the Lender.

                  (e)      Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
                           each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on
                           the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
                           for the actual days elapsed. Any rate of interest on
                           the Loans or other Obligations which is computed on
                           the basis of the Prime Rate shall change when and as
                           the Prime Rate changes in accordance with the
                           definition thereof. Each determination by the Lender
                           of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall, absent
                           demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding for all
                           purposes.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
                           contrary, the principal amount of Loans outstanding
                           prior to the Effective Date shall bear interest, for
                           the period preceding the Effective Date, at the
                           interest rates applicable thereto (including the
                           applicable "Interest Rate Margin," as such term was
                           defined in the Credit Agreement immediately prior to
                           the Effective Date) under and in accordance with the
                           Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective
                           Date; and from and after the Effective Date, the
                           principal amount of Loans outstanding shall bear
                           interest at the applicable rates set forth in this
                           Agreement (including the applicable Interest Rate
                           Margin as defined in this Agreement).

                  Section 3.02.     Use of Proceeds.

         The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans were used to repay
Indebtedness of the Borrowers existing immediately prior to the closing of the
transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date, and were and shall be used
for general working capital purposes. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to
repay Indebtedness of the Borrowers existing immediately prior to the closing of
the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date and for general working
capital purposes. In accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 2.01
and 2.02(b), a portion of the "Revolving Credit Commitment" (as such term was
defined in the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date) in the
principal amount of $2,400,000 (which amount is outstanding as of the Effective
Date) shall, upon the Effective Date, be converted into the Second Term Loan.
The Initial Letter of Credit was used by the Borrowers to serve as rent security
or a security deposit with respect to the leased office facility located at 75
Ninth Avenue, New York, New York, as required under the lease for such premises.

                  Section 3.03.     Prepayments.

                  (a)      Voluntary. The Borrowers may, at any time and from
                           time to time, prepay the then outstanding Loans, in
                           whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
                           written notice to the Lender (or telephonic notice
                           promptly confirmed in writing) not later than 11:00
                           a.m. New York, New York time, one Business Day before
                           the date of prepayment. Each notice shall be
                           irrevocable and shall specify the date and amount of
                           prepayment. If such notice is given, the Borrowers
                           shall make such prepayment, and the amount specified
                           in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date
                           specified therein. Each partial prepayment pursuant
                           to this Section 3.03 hereof shall be in a principal
                           amount of (i) $100,000 or in whole multiples of
                           $100,000 in excess thereof.

                  (b)      Mandatory. (i) To the extent that Adjusted Aggregate
                           Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the
                           Borrowing Base or (B) the Adjusted Total Commitment,
                           then the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans
                           in the amount of such excess. To the extent that the
                           Borrowers are unable to make such payment, the
                           Borrowers shall pledge to the Lender Cash Collateral
                           in an amount equal to the amount of such short-fall,
                           which Cash Collateral shall secure the reimbursement
                           obligations to the Lender with respect to such
                           Letters of Credit.

                           (ii) To the extent that Aggregate Revolving Credit
                           Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the
                           Borrowing Base or the (B) Revolving Credit
                           Commitment, then the Borrowers shall immediately
                           prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of
                           such excess. To the extent that the Borrowers are
                           unable to make such payment, the Borrowers shall
                           pledge to the Lender Cash Collateral in an amount
                           equal to the amount of such short-fall, which Cash
                           Collateral shall secure the reimbursement obligations
                           to the Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

         All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the
principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

                  Section 3.04.     Fees.

                  (a)      The Borrowers paid to the Lender on the Closing Date
                           a facility fee equal to $60,000.

                  (b)      The Borrowers shall pay (or has previously paid, as
                           applicable) to the Lender (with respect to the
                           Letters of Credit) an amount equal to the product of
                           the LC Fee multiplied by the face amount of each
                           Letter of Credit issued hereunder. Such fees with
                           respect to Letters of Credit shall be payable in
                           advance at the time of issuance thereof.
                           Notwithstanding any other provision in this
                           Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
                           continuance of an Event of Default, the LC Fee shall
                           be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum.

                                       23
<PAGE>

                  (c)      In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender
                           upon issuance of any Letter of Credit for its account
                           hereunder, the reasonable and customary fees charged
                           by the Lender with respect to the processing and
                           administration of letters of credit including,
                           without limitation, amendments to letters of credit.

                  (d)      If, for any Fiscal Quarter prior to the Revolving
                           Credit Commitment Termination Date, the average daily
                           unpaid balance of Aggregate Revolving Credit
                           Outstandings for each day of such quarter does not
                           equal the Revolving Credit Commitment, then the
                           Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee at a per
                           annum rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%)
                           on the amount by which the Revolving Credit
                           Commitment exceeds such average daily unpaid balance.
                           Such fee shall be payable for each Fiscal Quarter or
                           fraction thereof in the period from and including the
                           date of this Agreement to and including the earlier
                           of (i) the last day of Commitment Period and (ii) the
                           Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, shall
                           be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each
                           Fiscal Quarter beginning on December 31, 2002 and on
                           the earlier of (i) the last day of Commitment Period
                           and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination
                           Date, and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
                           year for the actual number of days elapsed.

                  (e)      The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender an amendment
                           and waiver fee equal to $25,000, payable on the
                           Effective Date.

                  Section 3.05.     Taxes.

                  Except as required by law, all payments made by the Borrowers
under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for
or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income and
franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on the Lender or on a
participant or an assignee of all or a portion of Lender's interest herein as a
result of a present, former or future connection between the jurisdiction of the
government or the taxing authority imposing such tax and the Lender, participant
or assignee or the lending office of the Lender, participant or assignee
(excluding a connection arising solely from the Lender, participant or assignee
having executed this Agreement, the Notes or the Loan Documents or having
entered into such participation or assignment) or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being called
"Non-Excluded Taxes"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Lender hereunder, or under the Notes, the amount
so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to
the Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and free and clear of all
liability in respect of such Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other

                                       24
<PAGE>

amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be
required to increase any such amounts payable to the Lender with respect to any
Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are United States withholding taxes imposed (or
branch profits taxes imposed in lieu thereof) on amounts payable to the Lender
at the time the Lender or such participant or assignee becomes a party to this
Agreement or enters into such participation or assignment, except to the extent
that the Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to
receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded
Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.05, (ii) that are imposed as a result of any
event occurring after the Lender becomes the Lender (or other participant or
assignee becomes a participant or assignee) other than a change in law or
regulation or the introduction of any law or regulation or a change in
interpretation or administration of any law or (iii) that are imposed as a
result of a failure of a lender, participant or assignee of all or a portion of
a Lender's interest hereunder, or any person in the chain of payment between
such a person and the Borrowers, to deliver to the Borrowers any form or
document that may be reasonably requested in order to allow the Borrowers to
make payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account
of any tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate. Whenever any
Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, as promptly as possible
thereafter, the Borrowers shall send to the Lender a certified copy of an
original official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay
Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit
to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure
together with any expenses payable by the Lender in connection therewith;
provided that the Lender has provided the Borrowers with notice thereof as
required by Section 9.01, accompanied by a demand for payment. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Lender is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of
the jurisdiction in which the Borrowers are located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, it shall
deliver to the Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law at the time or times reasonably requested in
writing, in a sufficiently detailed request (as to requisite documentation), by
the Borrowers, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate, provided that the Lender is legally entitled to complete,
execute and deliver such documentation and in the Lender's reasonable judgment
such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the
legal position of the Lender. The agreements in this subsection shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

                  Section 3.06.     Payments.

                  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05, all payments
(including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal,
interest, fees and reimbursement obligations shall be made without counterclaim
or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for,
any taxes or other payments and, with respect to payments of the Loans shall be
made to the Lender at the Payment Office of the Lender in Dollars in immediately
available funds. The Lender may, in its sole discretion, directly charge

                                       25
<PAGE>

principal and interest payments due in respect of the Loans and reimbursement
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit to the Borrowers' account at the
Payment Office or other office of the Lender. All payments shall be applied
first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Lender
(excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on
account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to
the obligations of the Borrowers to Lender as Lender determines in its sole
discretion. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than
a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

                  Section 3.07.     Funding and Disbursement of Loans.

         Unless any applicable condition specified in Article V has not been
satisfied, the Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder available
to the Borrowers at the Payment Office by 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time, on
the Borrowing Date in Dollars in immediately available funds, by crediting the
account of one or more of the Borrowers designated by the Company (in its Loan
request pursuant to the provisions of the Section 2.01 hereto) at the Lender's
Lending Office or other office of the Lender at which the Borrowers maintain an
account with such amount and in like funds; provided, however, that if the
proceeds of any Loan or any portion thereof are to be used to prepay outstanding
Loans, or Letter of Credit obligations, then the Lender shall apply such
proceeds for such purpose to the extent necessary and credit the balance, if
any, to the Borrowers' account; and further provided, however, that one of the
Loans to be made by the Lender to the Borrowers on the Closing Date may be made
available to the Borrowers at an account maintained by one or more of the
Borrowers at a financial institution other than the Lender, as designated by the
Borrowers on such date.

                                  ARTICLE IV.
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans and issue the Letters of Credit herein provided for, the Borrowers
represent and warrant to the Lender that:

                  Section 4.01.     Organization, Powers.

         Each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor (a) is a corporation, limited
liability company, partnership or other legal entity duly organized or formed,
as applicable, validly existing and, to the extent relevant under applicable
law, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (b)
has the corporate, limited partnership, limited liability company or other legal
power and authority to own or lease its properties and to carry on its business
as being conducted on the Closing Date and, (c) is duly qualified to do business
in every jurisdiction wherein the conduct of its business or the ownership of
its properties are such as to require such qualification except in those
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has the corporate or other
entity power to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party, including, without limitation, the power to obtain extensions of
credit hereunder and to execute and deliver the Notes.

                                       26
<PAGE>

                  Section 4.02.     Authorization of Borrowing, Enforceable
Obligations.

         The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Borrowers of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the
borrowings and the other extensions of credit to the Borrowers hereunder, and
the execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of the Loan Documents
to which such Guarantor is a party, (a) have been duly authorized by all

any provision of law applicable to any Borrower or any Guarantor, any applicable
rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, or the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws of any Borrower or the Certificate of Incorporation,
By-Laws, or other organizational documents, as applicable, of any Guarantor or
(ii) any order of any court or other Governmental Authority binding on any

result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a
default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument, which conflict,
breach or default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, of any nature whatsoever,
upon any of the property or assets of any Borrower or any Guarantor other than
as contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement
and each other Loan Document to which any Borrower or any Guarantor is a party
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Borrower and each
such Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable against each such Borrower and
each such Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms except to
the extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, moratorium, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally or by equitable principles of general application, regardless
of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  Section 4.03.     Financial Condition.

                  (a)      The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lender

                           writing, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred. As

                           infringements that could not reasonably be expected

                  Section 4.06.     Litigation.

         There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge
of any of the Borrowers, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company at law or in equity or before or by any Governmental
Authority, which involve any of the transactions contemplated herein or which
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (b)
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is in default with respect
to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  Section 4.07.     Agreements.

         Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement,
indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or
instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction or any
judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or regulation which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any

reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of
the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan.

                           amended from time to time).

                  (b)      No part of the proceeds of any Loan and no other
                           extension of credit hereunder will be used, whether
                           directly or indirectly, and whether immediately,

                           carry margin stock or to extend credit to others for
                           the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock,
                           or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for
                           such purposes, or (ii) for any purpose which violates

                           Reserve System.

                           of credit hereunder shall be used solely for the
                           purposes permitted under Section 3.02 hereof.

respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has used Hazardous Materials on, from, or affecting any property now

best actual knowledge of any officer of any of the Borrowers, no prior owner of
any such property or any tenant, subtenant, prior tenant or prior subtenant have
used Hazardous Materials on, from, or affecting such property in any manner
which violates any applicable Environmental Law.

                  Section 4.13.     Investment Company Act.

         Each of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company possesses all
permits, licenses, certifications, authorizations and approvals required for it

The conversion which is the subject of the Second Term Loan on the Effective
Date in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, each borrowing
hereunder and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of
Credit shall constitute a representation and warranty of the Company that the
statements contained in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 5.02
hereof are true and correct on and as of the Effective Date, the Borrowing Date

                                  ARTICLE VI.
                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

         Each of the Borrowers covenants and agrees with the Lender that so long
as either the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment remains in
effect, or any of the principal of or interest on either of the Notes or any
other Obligations hereunder shall be unpaid it will, and it will cause each of
their respective Subsidiaries, to:

                  Section 6.01.     Existence; Properties; Licenses; and
Insurance.

         Do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect its corporate, partnership or limited liability company,
as applicable, existence, rights and franchises (other than as expressly
permitted herein) and comply in all material respects with all laws applicable
to it; at all times maintain, preserve, protect or renew all trade names,
patents, trademarks and service marks, the non-preservation of which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and preserve all of its
property, in each case, material to its business and keep the same in good
repair, working order and condition (normal wear and tear excepted) and from
time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted in the ordinary course at all times in the manner and custom of
similar businesses; at all times, preserve and maintain in full force and effect
all governmental rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and
franchises necessary for the normal conduct of its business; and at all times
maintain insurance, either with financially sound and reputable insurers or
through self insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect
thereto, covering its assets and its businesses in such amounts (including
deductibles and co-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect
thereto) and against such risks (including, without limitation, hazard, business
interruption, public liability and product liability) as are usually carried by
companies engaged in the same or similar business.

                  Section 6.02.     Payment of Indebtedness, Taxes, etc.

                  (a)      Pay all material indebtedness and obligations, now
                           existing or hereafter arising, as and when due and
                           payable except where (i) the validity or amount
                           thereof is being contested in good faith and by

                                       35
<PAGE>

                           appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall
                           include good faith negotiations, and (ii) the Company
                           or any Subsidiary of the Company has set aside on its
                           books adequate reserves with respect thereto in
                           accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
                           Principles, and (iii) the failure to make such
                           payment pending such contest could not reasonably be
                           expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)      Pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged
                           promptly all taxes, assessments and government
                           charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income
                           and profits, or upon any of its property, real,
                           personal or mixed, or upon any part thereof, as and
                           when due and payable, as well as all lawful claims
                           for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise which,
                           if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon such
                           properties or any part thereof or except where the
                           failure to make such payment could not reasonably be
                           expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided,
                           however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
                           of the Company shall be required to pay and discharge
                           or cause to be paid and discharged any such tax,
                           assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the
                           validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by
                           appropriate proceedings, and the Company or such
                           Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside
                           on its books adequate reserves determined in
                           accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
                           Principles with respect to any such tax, assessment,
                           charge, levy or claim so contested; further, provided
                           that, subject to the foregoing proviso, the Company
                           and each Subsidiary of the Company will pay or cause
                           to be paid all such taxes, assessments, charges,
                           levies or claims upon the commencement of proceedings
                           to foreclose any lien which has attached as security
                           therefor.

or other expenses incurred in connection with the investigation or defending any
of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any
indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or
related expenses to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such indemnified person, (b) to pay or reimburse the Lender for
all its out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with

         The Lender and the Borrowers may, from time to time, enter into written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any

changing in any manner the rights of the Lender or of the Borrowers hereunder or
thereunder, provided that the foregoing may only be effected by a written
agreement or instrument duly executed by the Lender and the Borrowers. The
Lender, in its sole discretion, may execute and deliver to the Borrowers a
written instrument waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Lender may
specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the
Note or any of the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default. Any
such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall be binding
upon the Borrowers, the Lender and all future holders of the Note.

                           or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
                           this Agreement without the prior written consent of
                           the Lender.

                  (b)      The Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
                           commercial banking business and in accordance with
                           applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks
                           or other financial institutions ("Participants")

                           Lender, the Notes held by the Lender, any Commitment
                           of the Lender or any other interest of the Lender

                           the Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the
                           other parties under this Agreement shall remain
                           unchanged, the Lender shall remain solely responsible
                           for the performance thereof, the Lender shall remain
                           the holder of any the Note for all purposes under
                           this Agreement, and the Borrowers shall continue to
                           deal solely and directly with the Lender in
                           connection with the Lender's rights and obligations
                           under this Agreement. The Borrowers agree that each
                           Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
                           Section 3.05, with respect to its participation in
                           the Commitment and in the Loans and Letter of Credit

                           that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any
                           greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the
                           transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive
                           in respect of the amount of the participation
                           transferred by such transferor lender to such
                           Participant had no such transfer occurred.

                  (c)      The Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
                           commercial banking business and in accordance with
                           applicable law, at any time sell or assign to one or
                           more additional banks or financial institutions
                           ("Purchasing Lender") all or any part of its rights
                           and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes
                           with the prior consent of the Borrowers (which
                           consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
                           by the Borrowers), provided that the Borrowers'
                           consent shall not be required as aforesaid if an
                           Event of Default shall have occurred and is
                           continuing. The Borrowers agrees that it shall
                           execute or cause to be executed, such documents,
                           including, without limitation, amendments to this

         This Agreement is the result of negotiations between, and has been

                  Section 9.14.     Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which, taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument. The parties to this Agreement agree
that, for purposes of the execution of this Agreement, facsimile signatures will
constitute original signatures.

                  Section 9.15.     Integration; Lost Note, etc.

         This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the parties
as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced
hereby and thereby. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and
understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superceded by the Loan
Documents, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding
not set forth in such Loan Documents. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer
of the Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the
Loan Documents which are not of public record, and, in the case of any such
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of any such Loan
Documents, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, the applicable Loan
Documents of like tenor.

                  Section 9.16.     Joint and Several Obligations.

         This Agreement and the Obligations are the joint and several
obligations of each Borrower. This Agreement and the Obligations may be enforced
against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or
remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower
acknowledges that its obligations hereunder will not be released or affected by
the failure of the other Borrowers to execute this Agreement or by a
determination that all or a part of this Agreement (or any Obligation) with
respect to any other Borrower is invalid or unenforceable. In any action or
proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of
creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower hereunder would
otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account for the amount of
its liability hereunder, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the
contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such
Borrower, the Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced
to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the
claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers, the Guarantor and the Lender have

                 OF THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES

            CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, NUMBER, POWERS
             PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING
            OPTIONAL, AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS AND THE
          QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND
             OTHER DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF
                     SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
                                OF
                       UNICO, INCORPORATED

It is hereby certified that:

     1.    The name of the corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation")
is UNICO, INCORPORATED.

     2.    The certificate of incorporation of the Corporation authorizes
issuance of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001
per share, and expressly vests in the Board of Directors of the Corporation
the authority provided therein to issue any or all of said shares in one or
more series in such manner and having such preferences, limitations and
relative rights as to the Board of Directors may designate, as permitted by
the Arizona Code.

     3.    The Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to the
authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following
resolution creating a Series A issue of Preferred Stock:

RESOLVED, that ten million (10,000,000) shares of the Preferred Stock (par
value $0.001 per share) are authorized to be issued by this Corporation
pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, and that there be and hereby is
authorized and created a series of preferred stock, hereby designed as the
Series A Preferred Stock, which shall have the voting powers, designations,
preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, or
the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, set forth in such
certificate of incorporation and in addition thereto, those following:

(a)  DESIGNATION. The Preferred Stock subject hereof shall be designated
     Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred").  No other shares of
     Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series A Preferred stock.

(b)  DIVIDENDS.  The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred shall not be
     entitled to receive dividends.

(c)  CONVERSION.  The Series A Preferred shall, at the option of the holder
     thereof, at any time and from time to time, be convertible into that
     number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock of the
     Corporation, equal to the number of the shares of Series A Preferred
     Stock being converted.  The conversion right of the holders of Series A
     Preferred Stock shall be exercised by the surrender of the certificates
     representing shares to be converted to the Corporation or its transfer
     agent for the Series A Preferred, accompanied by written notice electing
     conversion.  Immediately prior to the close of business on the date the
     Corporation receives written notice of conversion, each converting holder
     of Series A Preferred shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
     common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred
     notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation shall then be
     closed or that certificates representing such common stock shall not then
     be actually delivered to such person.

(d)  ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION AND REORGANIZATION.  If the common stock
     issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred shall be changed into
     the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of
     stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise,
     the conversion rate shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
     reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that
     the Series A Preferred shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number
     of shares of common stock which the holders would otherwise have been
     entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of
     stock equivalent to the number of shares of common stock that would have
     been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series A
     Preferred immediately before that change.

(e)  REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF ASSETS.  If at any
     time or from time to time after the date of this Certificate, there is a
     capital reorganization of the common stock (reverse split, forward split,
     etc.), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made
     so that the holders of the Series A Preferred shall thereafter be
     entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred the same
     number of shares of common stock to which that holder would have been
     entitled prior to such capital reorganization.  In essence, the number of
     Series A Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding, and the
     number of shares of common stock into which such Series A Preferred is
     convertible, shall not be affected by any such capital reorganization.

(f)  NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate
     of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
     consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
     other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
     performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by
     the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
     carrying out all the provisions of this Certificate and in the taking of
     all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
     the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred against
     impairment.

(g)  RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION.  The Corporation shall at
     all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
     shares of common stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
     conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred, such number of its
     shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
     the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred; and
     if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common
     stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
     outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred, the Corporation will take
     such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
     to increase its authorized but unissued shares of common stock to such
     number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including,
     without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
     stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.

(h)  REGISTRATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation shall
     cause to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission all
     shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred are convertible
     so that the Series A Preferred holders shall, at the time of conversion,
     receive registered, free-trading shares of common stock.  The Corporation
     shall bear all expense necessary with registering such shares of common
     stock and shall cause such registration to be in effect before the
     eligible conversion date hereinabove stated.

(i)  LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of
     the Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive liquidation in
     preference to the holders of common shares or any other class or series
     of preferred stock.  Rather, the Series A Preferred shall automatically
     be converted into common stock at the conversion rate hereinabove stated.

(j)  INVOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION.  In the event of involuntary liquidation, the
     shares of this series shall be entitled to the same amounts as in the
     event of voluntary liquidation.

(k)  OTHER RESTRICTIONS.  There shall be no conditions or restrictions upon
     the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation, or any subsidiary or
     upon the creation of any other series of preferred stock with any other
     preferences.

(l)  VOTING.  (i) The holder of shares of Series A Preferred shall not be
     entitled to vote such shares (except as otherwise expressly provided
     herein or as required by law, voting together with the Common Stock as a
     single class), but shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders'
     meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

             (ii)  In lieu of voting rights set forth in (l)(i) above, the
     holders of Series A Preferred, voting together as a class, shall be
     entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors at each meeting.
     In case of any vacancy of an office in the office of a director occurring
     among the directors elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred, the
     remaining director so elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred
     may elect a successor to hold the office for the unexpired term of the
     director whose place shall be vacant.  Any director who shall have been
     elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred or any director so
     elected as provided in the preceding sentence hereof, may be removed
     during the aforesaid term of office, whether with or without cause, only
     by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series A
     Preferred.

(m)  STATED VALUE.  The shares of Series A Preferred shall have a stated value
     of $0.001 per share.

(n)  OTHER PREFERENCES.  The shares of the Series A Preferred shall have no
     other preferences, rights, restrictions, or qualifications, except as
     otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation of the
     Corporation.

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing
     resolution creating and designating the said Series A Preferred Stock and
     fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional,
     participating, and other special rights and the qualifications,
     limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics
     thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed to be
     included in and be a part of the articles of incorporation of the
     Corporation.

     4.    The resolution contained in Section 3 above was adopted on the 21st
day of May, 2004.

     5.    The resolution contained in Section 3 above was duly adopted by the
Board of Directors.

     Dated this ____ day of ______________, 2004.
