Credit as a result of Coast's indemnification of any such issuing bank. The
provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any

Accounts, and all money, and all property now or at any time in the future in
Coast's possession (including claims and credit balances), and all proceeds of
any of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of
proceeds, and claims against third parties), all products of any of the
foregoing, and all books and records related to any of the foregoing (all of the
foregoing, together with all other property in which Coast may now or in the

collectively, as the "Collateral").
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.
In order to induce Coast to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans,
except as set forth on the exhibits and schedules hereto, Borrower represents
and warrants to Coast as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following
representations will continue to be true, and that Borrower will at all times
comply with all of the following covenants:
3.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Borrower, if a corporation, is and
will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue
to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any
failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery
and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents
contemplated hereby (a) have been duly and validly authorized, (b) are
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as
enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally), and (c) do not violate Borrower's articles or certificate of
incorporation, or Borrower's by-laws, or any law or any material agreement or
instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (d) do not
constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation
under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its
property.
3.2 NAME; TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of Borrower set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are all
prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names.
Borrower shall give Coast thirty (30) days' prior written notice before changing
its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will
in the future comply, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.
3.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set forth in
the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In addition,
Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations
set forth on the Schedule. Borrower will give Coast at least 30 days prior
written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its
chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.
3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and will at all
times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items
of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain
free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances
and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Except as disclosed in the
Schedule as to motor vehicles, Coast now has, and will continue to have, a
first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the
Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times
defend Coast and the Collateral against all claims of others. None of the
Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or
with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a
lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any
rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains,
impairs or will prohibit, restrain or
3
4
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
impair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises.
Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an
interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien
or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever requested by Coast, use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Coast, in
form acceptable to Coast, such waivers and subordinations as Coast shall
specify, so as to ensure that Coast's rights in the Collateral are, and will
continue to be, superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will
keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease
of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be
located.
3.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in
good working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any
unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Coast in writing of any
material loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at
Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial statements
now or in the future delivered to Coast have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of
unaudited financial statements, for the absence of footnotes and subject to
normal year-end adjustments) and now and in the future will fairly reflect the
financial condition of Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein
stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Coast
and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is now
and will continue to be Solvent.
3.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Where the failure to
do so by Borrower would result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower has timely
filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by foreign,
federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay,
all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and
contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however,
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings
promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Coast in writing
of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and
(iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the contested taxes
from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. As of the date hereof, Borrower
is unaware of any material claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's
prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable
by Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary
to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw
from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of an outside payroll service
providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by Borrower.
3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all
material respects, with all provisions of all material foreign, federal, state
and local laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not limited
to, those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the
conduct and licensing of Borrower's business, and environmental matters.
3.10 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no claim,
suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower's
knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any court or before
any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower will promptly inform Coast in writing of any claim, proceeding,
litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted by or against
Borrower involving any single claim of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) or more, or involving Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or
more in the aggregate.
3.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for
lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any "margin
stock" (as defined in Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase
or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

4. RECEIVABLES.
4.1 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower represents and
warrants to Coast as follows: Each Receivable with respect to which Loans are
requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made,
represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the
Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the
rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, subject
only to warranty claims and stock rotation by dealers consistent with the
conduct of Borrower's business in the ordinary course.
4.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Borrower
represents and warrants to Coast as follows: All statements made and all unpaid
balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing
the Receivables are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices,
instruments and other documents and all of Borrower's books and records are and
shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and
other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Receivable shall fully
comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. All
signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements
relating to all Receivables are and shall be genuine to the extent Borrower
relies on the genuineness of such documents, instruments and agreements in the
ordinary course of business, and all such documents, instruments and agreements
are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.
4.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall
deliver to Coast transaction reports and loan requests, schedules of
Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Coast's standard forms;
provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall
not affect or limit Coast's security interest and other rights in all of
Borrower's Receivables, nor shall Coast's failure to advance or lend against a
specific Receivable affect or limit Coast's security interest and other rights
therein. Loan requests received after 10:30 AM may not be considered by Coast
until the next Business Day. Together with each such schedule, or later if
requested by Coast, Borrower shall furnish Coast with copies of all contracts,
orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all original shipping
instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of
delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such
Receivables, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing to
the extent Borrower relies on the genuineness of such documents in the ordinary
course of business. Borrower shall also furnish to Coast an aged accounts
receivable trial balance in such form and at such intervals as Coast shall
request. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Coast the originals of all
instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents
and property evidencing or securing any Receivables, upon receipt thereof and in
the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, all of which shall
be with recourse. Borrower shall also provide Coast with copies of all credit
memos as and when requested by Coast.
4.4 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall have the right to collect
all Receivables, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred. Borrower
shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables in trust for Coast, and
Borrower shall deliver all such payments and proceeds to Coast within one
Business Day after receipt by Borrower, in their original form, duly endorsed to
Coast, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Coast shall determine.
Coast may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be
deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as
Coast may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Coast
may specify. Coast or its designee may, upon two (2) Business Days' notice to
Borrower if no Default or Event of Default has occurred (otherwise at any time),
notify Account Debtors that Coast has been granted a security interest in the
Receivables.
4.5 REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds arising from the disposition of
any Collateral shall be delivered to Coast within one Business Day after receipt
by Borrower, in their original form, duly endorsed to Coast, to be applied to
the Obligations in such order as Coast shall determine. Borrower agrees that it
will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other funds or
property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds
and property and in an express trust for Coast. Nothing in this Section limits
the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.
4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Coast promptly of all disputes or
claims relating to Receivables which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any
Receivable for less than payment in full, except in connection with Borrower's
return and warranty policy in the ordinary course of business, or agree to do
any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided that: (a)
Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the
ordinary course of business, and in arm's length transactions, which are
reported to Coast on the regular reports provided to Coast; (b) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (c) taking into account all
such discounts settlements and
5
6
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
forgiveness, the total outstanding Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit. Coast
may, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, settle or adjust
disputes or claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms
which Coast considers advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all
cases, Coast shall credit Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts
received by Coast in payment of any Receivables.
4.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower in the ordinary course
of its business, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return
and promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate
amount. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall (a) hold the returned Inventory in trust for
Coast, (b) segregate all returned Inventory from all of Borrower's other
property, (c) conspicuously label the returned Inventory as subject to Coast's
security interest, and (d) except with respect to returns for warranty service
in the ordinary course of business, immediately notify Coast of the return of
any Inventory, specifying the reason for such return, the location and condition
of the returned Inventory, and on Coast's request deliver such returned
Inventory to Coast.
4.8 VERIFICATION. Coast may, from time to time, verify directly with the
respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of
Borrower or Coast or such other name as Coast may choose.
4.9 NO LIABILITY. Coast shall not under any circumstances be responsible
or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction
of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to a
Receivable, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in
the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any
Receivable, or for settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full
amount thereof, nor shall Coast be deemed to be responsible for any of
Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to a
Receivable. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Coast from liability for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.
5.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times comply with
the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
5.2 INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible
personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with
insurers reasonably acceptable to Coast, in such form and amounts as Coast may
reasonably require, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Coast, so that Coast is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full
force and effect. All liability insurance policies of Borrower shall name Coast
as an additional insured, and all property casualty and related insurance
policies of Borrower shall name Coast as a loss payee thereon and Borrower shall
cause a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Coast.
Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, Coast shall apply such
proceeds of property casualty insurance in reduction of the Obligations as Coast
shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Coast shall release to Borrower
insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), which shall be utilized by Borrower for the
replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were
paid. Coast may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so
released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance,
Coast may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense.
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Coast copies of all claims in excess of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) made to insurance companies.
5.3 REPORTS. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Coast with the
written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with
respect to Borrower (including budgets, sales projections, operating plans and
other financial documentation), as Coast shall from time to time reasonably
specify upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower. Coast acknowledges that such
information may be confidential in nature and cannot be disclosed or used for
any purpose other than the administration of this Agreement.
5.4 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times not
interfering with regularly scheduled audits of Borrower being performed by
certified public accountants, and on one (1) Business Day's notice, Coast, or
its agents, shall have the right to inspect, audit and copy Borrower's books and
records and the Collateral (the "Audits"). Coast shall take reasonable steps to
keep confidential all confidential information obtained in any Audit, but Coast
shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors,
regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal
process. The Audits shall be at Borrower's expense and the charge for the Audits
shall be Five Hundred Fifty Dollars
6

($550) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Coast's then
current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out of pocket expenses.
Borrower will not enter into any agreement with any accounting firm, service
bureau or third party to store Borrower's books or records at any location other

or thing whatsoever occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Coast
relating to Borrower or the Obligations (except any such amounts sustained or
incurred as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Coast).
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity
agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.
5.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Coast, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Coast, may deem
reasonably necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Coast's
perfected security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6. TERM.
6.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the
maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"); provided that the
Maturity Date shall automatically be extended, and this Agreement shall
automatically and continuously renew, for successive additional terms of one
year each, unless one party gives written notice to the other, not less than
sixty days prior to the next Maturity Date, that such party elects to terminate
this Agreement effective on the next Maturity Date. If this Agreement is renewed
under this Section 6.1, Borrower shall pay to Coast a renewal fee (the "Renewal
Fee") in the amount shown on the Schedule. The Renewal Fee shall be due and
payable on the effective date of renewal and thereafter shall bear interest at a
rate equal to the rate applicable to the Receivable Loans.
6.2 EARLY TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Maturity Date as follows: (a) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days
after written notice of termination is given to Coast; or (b) by Coast at any
time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective
immediately. If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Coast under this
Section 6.2, Borrower shall pay to Coast a termination fee (the "Early
Termination Fee") in the amount shown on the Schedule; provided, however, that
such Early Termination Fee shall be limited by the provisions contained in the
Schedule. The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective
date of termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
rate applicable to the Receivable Loans.
6.3 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier
effective date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on
any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Coast or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Coast,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Coast cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Coast's then
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, all of Coast's security interests in all of the Collateral and all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided
that, without limiting the fact that Loans are subject to the discretion of
Coast, Coast may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans after
termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or
remedy of Coast, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any
Obligation to Coast, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed
in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement, Coast shall promptly deliver to Borrower
termination statements, requests for reconveyances and such other documents as
may be required to fully terminate Coast's security interests.
7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

Coast immediate written notice thereof:

officers, employees or agents, now or in the future, shall be untrue or

or
(l) Borrower makes any payment on account of any indebtedness or
obligation which has been subordinated to the Obligations, other than as
permitted in the applicable subordination agreement, or if any Person who has

his subordination agreement in such a manner as to result in a Material Adverse
Effect as determined by Coast; or
(m) Borrower shall suffer or experience any Change of Control
without Coast's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. As used
herein, "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as a
"person" or "group" (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (other than the current shareholders of
Borrower) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the

Borrower normally entitled to vote in the election of directors; or
(n) Borrower shall generally not pay its debts as they become due,
or Borrower shall conceal, remove or transfer any part of its property, with

(p) Coast, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable
manner, deems itself insecure because of the occurrence of an event which
results or could result in a Material Adverse Effect prior to the effective date

occurrence of an event on or subsequent to the effective date.
Coast may cease making any Loans hereunder during any of the above cure periods,
and thereafter if an Event of Default has occurred.
7.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any
Event of Default, Coast, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind
(all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more
of the following, to the extent permitted by law:
9
10
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrower
under this Agreement or any other document or agreement;
(b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be
immediately due, payable, and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or
installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any
Obligation;
(c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may
be found, and for that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Coast without judicial
process to enter onto any of Borrower's premises without interference to search
for, take possession of, keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and
remain on the premises or cause a custodian to remain on the premises in
exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long as Coast deems it
reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under
this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that should Coast seek
to take possession of any of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives:
(i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto
required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such
possession;
(ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of
any suit or action to recover possession thereof; and
(iii) any requirement that Coast retain possession of, and not
dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment;
(d) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and
make it available to Coast at places designated by Coast which are reasonably
convenient to Coast and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations
as Coast may deem advisable;
(e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any
Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the
purpose of removal, Coast shall have the right to use Borrower's premises,
vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all other property without
charge;
(f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in
its condition at the time Coast obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Coast shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
times as Coast deems reasonable, or on Coast's premises, or elsewhere and the
Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Coast may directly
or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such
public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private
disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve
Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to
title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;
(g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General
Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower
irrevocably authorizes Coast to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all
collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of
and open mail addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with
respect to any item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Coast's sole
discretion, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle
Receivables and the like for less than face value;
(h) Offset against any sums in any of Borrower's general, special or
other Deposit Accounts with Coast; and
(i) Demand and receive possession of copies of any of Borrower's
federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the
preparation thereof or referring thereto.
All reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations
incurred by Coast with respect to the foregoing shall be due from the Borrower
to Coast on demand. Coast may charge the same to Borrower's loan account, and
the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is applicable to the
Receivable Loans. Without limiting any of Coast's rights and remedies, from and
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate then applicable
to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional two (2) percent per
annum.
7.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower and
Coast agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any
Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be
deemed to be commercially reasonable:

7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of
any Event of Default, without limiting Coast's other rights and remedies,
Borrower grants to Coast an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an
interest, authorizing and permitting Coast (acting through any of its employees,
attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or
without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the
following, in Borrower's name or otherwise, but Coast agrees to exercise the
following powers in a commercially reasonable manner:
(a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Coast may, in
its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Coast's
security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower
or Coast, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements;
(b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document exercising,

(i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim
that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor;

this Agreement and any other present or future agreements. Any and all
reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities,

demand. Coast may charge the foregoing to Borrower's loan account and the

indicate that Coast is in control of the business, management or properties of
Borrower.
7.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any
sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Coast first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Coast in the
exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any
of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order
as Coast shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to
Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable
to Coast for any deficiency. If, Coast, in its sole discretion, directly or
indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any
purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Coast shall have the option, exercisable at
any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the
principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations
until the actual receipt by Coast of the cash therefor.
7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth
in this Agreement, Coast shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between Coast and Borrower, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by
Coast of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election,
nor bar Coast from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights
or remedies. The failure or delay of Coast to exercise any rights or remedies
shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall
continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully
paid and performed.

payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Coast), unless Borrower

account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.
9.5 NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery
service or by regular first-class mail, facsimile, or certified mail return
receipt requested, addressed to Coast or Borrower at the addresses shown in the
heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one
party to the other party. Notices to Coast shall be directed to the Commercial
Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division
Credit Manager. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in
the case of notices personally delivered or via facsimile (with confirmation of

and effect.
9.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements,
documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the
final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Coast and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and
agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are
no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which
are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the
parties in connection herewith.
9.8 WAIVERS. To the extent permitted by law, the failure of Coast at any
time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions
of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement between Borrower and
Coast shall not waive or diminish any right of Coast later to demand and receive
strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect
any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None
of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Coast shall be deemed to have been waived
by any act or knowledge of Coast or its agents or employees, but only by a
specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Coast and delivered
to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account,
General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Coast on which
Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by
Coast, unless expressly required by this Agreement.
9.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Coast, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Coast shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower
or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Coast, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
affiliated with or representing Coast, but nothing herein shall relieve Coast
from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for
Coast's conduct on Borrower's premises or in manufacturing any products of

Event of Default, except to the extent such occupancy is pursuant to an
agreement between Coast and the owner or landlord of such premises.

waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly
authorized officer of Coast.

pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or
not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable

Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this
Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or
defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. Borrower shall also pay Coast's
standard charges for returned checks and for wire transfers, in effect from time
to time. All attorneys' fees, costs and charges to which Coast may be entitled
pursuant to this Paragraph may be charged by Coast to Borrower's loan account
and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the Receivable Loans.
9.13 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns,
heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Coast; provided,
however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Coast, and any prohibited
assignment shall be void. No consent by Coast to any assignment shall release
Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
9.14 PUBLICITY. Coast is hereby authorized, at its expense, to issue
appropriate press releases and to cause a tombstone to be published announcing
the consummation of this transaction and the aggregate amount thereof, subject
to Borrower's prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld).
9.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any
claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.16 PARAGRAPH HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. Paragraph headings are only used in
this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Coast acknowledge that the headings
may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and
the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or
interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term "including",
whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including (but not limited to)".
This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no
uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be
construed strictly against Coast or Borrower under any rule of construction or
otherwise.

Agreement shall, at Coast's option, be litigated in courts located within
California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Los Angeles County;

service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any
other method permitted by law; and (c) waives any and all rights Borrower may
have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change
the venue of any such action or proceeding.

2. INTEREST.
INTEREST RATE
(Section 1.2): A rate equal to the "Prime Rate" plus one and
three quarters percent (1.75%) per annum,
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the

if Borrower achieves two (2) consecutive fiscal
quarters of profitability during fiscal years 1997
or 1998, then, and in that event, the rate shall
be reduced to the "Prime Rate" plus one and one
half percent (1.50%), so long as Borrower does not
experience two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters of
losses thereafter in fiscal years 1997 or 1998,
which, and in that event, would cause the rate to
return to the "Prime Rate" plus one and three
quarters percent (1.75%). The interest rate
applicable to all Loans shall be adjusted monthly
as of the first day of each month, and the
interest to be charged for each month shall be

interest charged on any Loans in any month be less
than eight percent (8%) per annum. "Prime Rate"
means the actual "Reference Rate" or the
substitute therefor of the Bank of America NT & SA
whether or not that rate is the lowest interest
rate charged by said bank. If the Prime Rate, as
defined, is unavailable, "Prime Rate" shall mean
the highest of the prime rates published in the
Wall Street Journal on the first business day of
the month, as the base rate on corporate loans at
large U.S. money center commercial banks.
