long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result

(as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may
pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in

any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (b) Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent,

LOAN ADVANCES. Lender, in its discretion, will make loans to Borrower, in
amounts determined by Lender, up to the amounts as defined and permitted in the

Notes, executed by Borrower (the "Credit Limit"). The Borrower is responsible
for monitoring the total amount of Loans and Indebtedness outstanding from time
to time, and Borrower shall not permit the same, at any time to exceed the
Credit Limit. If at any time the total of all outstanding Loans and
Indebtedness exceeds the Credit Limit, the Borrower shall immediately pay the
amount of the excess to Lender, without notice or demand.

according to a borrowing base formula, as determined by Lender, on a monthly

any accounts which Lender in its sole judgment excludes for valid credit
reasons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Borrower's election to advance
under the Line of Credit, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall
transfer the loan to its Commercial Finance Division. Any such advance request
shall be made approximately 45 days to borrowing to allow for an audit of
Borrower's accounts receivable. Borrower's deposit account will be debited for

commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related
Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any
obligation to make Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all

kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit

right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
DEFAULT RATE. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity,
Lender, at its option, may do one or both of the following: (a) increase the
variable interest rate on this Note to five percentage points (5.000%) over the

interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at

AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
(Continued)

relationship to be construed as creating any partnership or joint venture
between Lender and Borrower. Borrower is exercising its own judgment with
respect to Borrower's business. All information supplied to Lender is for
Lender's protection only and no other party is entitled to rely on such
information. There is no duty for Lender to review, inspect, supervise, or
inform Borrower of any matter with respect to Borrower's business. Lender
and Borrower intend that Lender may reasonably rely on all information
supplied by Borrower to Lender, together with all representations and
warranties given by Borrower to Lender, without investigation or
confirmation by Lender and that any investigation or failure to investigate
will not diminish Lender's right to so rely.
NOTICE OF LENDER'S BREACH. Borrower must notify Lender in writing of any
breach of this Agreement or the Related Documents by Lender and any other
claim, cause of action or offset against Lender within thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of such breach or after the accrual of such claim,

liabilities of any kind, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and
expenses, arising out of any matter relating directly or indirectly to the
Indebtedness, whether resulting from internal disputes of the Borrower,
disputes between Borrower and any Guarantor, or whether involving any third
parties, or out of any other matter whatsoever related to this Agreement or
the Related Documents, but excluding any claim or liability which arises as
a direct result of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. This
indemnity shall survive full repayment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness
and termination of this Agreement.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans
and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount. This

fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any

this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,

Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers.
For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times
of Borrower's current address(es).
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. if feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OF BORROWER. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
SURVIVAL. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
Lender or on Lender's behalf.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay
or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of
this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right
otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision
of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between
Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a
waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any
Grantor as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is
required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any
instance shall not constitute continuing consent in subsequent instances
where such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted
or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
