EXHIBIT 10.2 REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE $5,000,000.00 SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned borrower (the "BORROWER"), promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK N.A. (the ("BANK"), the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), payable SEPTEMBER 5, 2005 (the "MATURITY DATE"). Interest. The unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate described in the Interest Rate Rider attached to this Note. Payment Schedule. Interest is payable beginning NOVEMBER 5, 2004, and on the same date of each CONSECUTIVE month thereafter (except that if a given month does not have such a date, the last day of such month), plus a final interest payment with the final payment of principal. Interest will be computed for the actual number of days principal is unpaid, using a daily factor obtained by dividing the stated interest rate by 360. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, upon any default or at any time during the continuation thereof (including failure to pay upon maturity), the Bank may, at its option and subject to applicable law, increase the interest rate on this Note to a rate of 5% per annum plus the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to applicable law, upon the occurrence of a default by the Borrower or any guarantor involving bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the interest rate on this Note shall automatically increase to a rate of 5% per annum plus the rate otherwise payable hereunder. In no event will the interest rate hereunder exceed that permitted by applicable law. If any interest or other charge is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, the interest or charge shall be reduced to the maximum permitted by law, and the Bank may credit any excess amount previously collected against the balance due or refund the amount to the Borrower. Subject to applicable law, if any payment is not made on or before its due date, the Bank may collect a delinquency charge of 5.00% of the unpaid amount. Collection of the late payment fee shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Bank's right to declare a default hereunder. Without affecting the liability of any Borrower, endorser, surety or guarantor, the Bank may, without notice, renew or extend the time for payment, accept partial payments, release or impair any collateral security for the payment of this Note, or agree not to sue any party liable on it. This Revolving Credit Note constitutes the Note issued under a Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Borrower and the Bank, to which Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which loans evidenced hereby were or may be made and a description of the terms and conditions upon which the maturity of this Note may be accelerated, and for a description of the collateral securing this Note.

Owen Name and Title WILLIAM A. OWEN, CFO By Borrower Name N/A Name and Title INTEREST RATE RIDER This Rider is made part of the Revolving Credit Note (the "NOTE") in the original amount of $5,000,000.00 by the undersigned borrower (the "BORROWER") in favor of U.S. BANK N.A. (the "Bank") as of the date identified below. The following interest rate description is hereby added to the Note: Interest Rate Options. Interest on each advance hereunder shall accrue at one of the following per annum rates selected by the Borrower ("n/a" indicates rate option is not available, but Prime Rate Loan option must always be selected) (i) upon notice to the Bank, 0.000% plus the prime rate announced by the Bank from time to time, as and when such rate changes (a "Prime Rate Loan"); (ii) upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, 1.250% plus the 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 month LIBOR rate quoted by the Bank from Telerate Page 3750 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to commencement of the advance), adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a "LIBOR Rate Loan"); or (iii) upon notice to the Bank, n/a% plus the rate, determined solely by the Bank, at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds of comparable amounts in the Money Markets for a 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 month period, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a "Money Market Rate Loan"). The term "New York Banking Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York. The term "Money Markets" refers to one or more wholesale funding markets available to the Bank, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds, interest rate swaps or others. No LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan may extend beyond the maturity of this Note. In any event, if the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the maturity of this Note, such loan must be prepaid at the time this Note matures. If a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period for such loan, whether voluntarily or because prepayment is required due to the Note maturing or due to acceleration of this Note upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank's costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by the Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term "Loan Period" means the period commencing on the advance date of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan and ending on the numerically corresponding day 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months thereafter matching the interest rate term selected by the Borrower; provided, however, (a) if any Loan Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a New York Banking Day, then the Loan Period shall end on the next succeeding New York Banking Day unless the next succeeding New York Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the Loan Period shall end on the immediately preceding New York Banking Day; or (b) if any Loan Period begins on the last New York Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of the Loan Period), then the Loan Period shall end on the last New York Banking Day of the calendar month at the end of such Loan Period. The term "Interest Differential" shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest the Bank would have earned (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the first day of the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan) had prepayment not occurred and the interest the Bank will actually earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such loan. In the event the Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days before the end of the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan, the Bank may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, but until such conversion, the funds advanced under the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period. The Bank's internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each LIBOR Rate Loan and each Money Market Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.

All revolving loans hereunder will be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of the Loan Amount (the "Note"). Although the Note will be expressed to be payable in the full Loan Amount, the Borrower will be obligated to pay only the amounts actually disbursed hereunder, together with accrued interest on the outstanding balance at the rates and on the dates specified therein and such other charges provided for herein. In the event that the principal amount outstanding under the Note exceeds the Borrowing Base at anytime, the Borrower will immediately, without request, prepay an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 1.2 BORROWING BASE. The Borrowing Base will be an amount equal to the sum of (i) n/a% of the face amount of Eligible Accounts, and (ii) the lesser of $n/a or n/a% of the Borrower's cost of Eligible Inventory, as such cost may be diminished as a result of any event causing loss or depreciation in value of Eligible Inventory less (iii) the current outstanding loan balance on note(s) in the original amount(s) of $n/a and less (iv) undrawn amounts of outstanding letters of credit issued by Bank or any affiliate thereof.

Immediately upon the Bank's demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the amount of any advances made after the Maturity Date or in excess of the maximum loan amount or any other limitation on advances contained in this Agreement, together with interest on the principal amount of such excess advances, for so long as such advances are outstanding, at the highest interest rate from time to time in effect for such advances. Any such advances shall not be deemed an extension of this Agreement nor an increase in the maximum loan amount available for borrowing under this Agreement. 1.4 ADVANCES AND PAYING PROCEDURE. The Bank is authorized and directed to credit any of the Borrower's accounts with the Bank (or to the account the Borrower designates in writing) for all loans made hereunder, and the Bank is authorized to debit such account or any other account of the Borrower with the Bank for the amount of any principal, interest or expenses due under the Note or other amount due hereunder on the due date with respect thereto. If, upon any request by the Borrower to the Bank to issue a wire transfer, there is an inconsistency between the name of the recipient of the wire and its identification number as specified by the Borrower, the Bank may, without liability, transmit the payment via wire based solely upon the identification number. 1.5 CLOSING Fee.

The term "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES" shall mean any hazardous or toxic wastes, chemicals or other substances, the generation, possession or existence of which is prohibited or governed by any Environmental Laws.

To Debtor's knowledge, there are no proposed or pending changes in Environmental Laws which would adversely affect Debtor or its business, and there are no conditions existing currently or likely to exist while the Loan Documents are in effect which would subject Debtor to Remedial Action or other liability. Debtor currently complies with and will continue to timely comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; and will provide Bank, immediately upon receipt, copies of any correspondence, notice, complaint, order or other document from any source asserting or alleging any circumstance or condition which requires or may require a financial contribution by Debtor or Remedial Action or other response by or on the part of Debtor under Environmental Laws, or which seeks damages or civil, criminal or punitive penalties from Debtor for an alleged violation of Environmental Laws. 2.10 INSURANCE. Debtor will maintain insurance to such extent, covering such risks and with such insurers as is usual and customary for businesses operating similar properties, and as is satisfactory to Bank, including insurance for fire and other risks insured against by extended or comprehensive coverage, public liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance; and will designate Bank as loss payee with a "Lender's Loss Payable" endorsement on any casualty policies and take such other action as Bank may reasonably request to ensure that Bank will receive (subject to no other interests) the insurance proceeds of the Collateral. Debtor hereby assigns all insurance proceeds to and irrevocably directs, while any Obligations remain unpaid, any insurer to pay to Bank the proceeds of all such insurance and any premium refund; and authorizes Bank to endorse Debtor's name to effect the same, to make, adjust or settle, in Debtor's name, any claim on any insurance policy relating to the Collateral; and, at the option of Bank, to apply such proceeds and refunds to the Obligations or to restoration of the Collateral, returning any excess to Debtor. In the event of any failure of the Debtor to obtain or maintain any insurance required hereunder, the Bank shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to obtain any such insurance coverage, and the Debtor shall immediately reimburse the Bank for the cost thereof, together with interest on such amount at the highest rate of interest then accruing on any of the Obligations. ARTICLE III. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF BANK In addition to all other rights (including setoff) and duties of Bank under the Loan Documents which are expressly incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement, the following provisions shall also apply: 3.1 AUTHORITY TO PERFORM FOR DEBTOR.

All acts by Bank are hereby ratified and approved, and Bank shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. 3.2 VERIFICATION AND NOTIFICATION; BANK'S RIGHTS.

Bank may at any time notify any bailee possessing Collateral to turn over the Collateral to Bank. 3.3 COLLATERAL PRESERVATION.

As additional security for the payment of the Obligations, Debtor hereby grants to Bank a security interest in, a lien on and an express contractual right to set off against all depository account balances, cash and any other property of Debtor .now or hereafter in the possession of Bank and the right to refuse to allow withdrawals from any account (collectively "Setoff"). Bank may, at anytime upon the occurrence of a default hereunder (notwithstanding any notice requirements or grace/cure periods under this or other agreements between Debtor or Borrower and Bank), Setoff against the Obligations WHETHER OR NOT THE OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING FUTURE INSTALLMENTS) ARE THEN DUE OR HAVE BEEN ACCELERATED, ALL WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE OR CONTEMPORANEOUS NOTICE OR DEMAND OF ANY KIND TO DEBTOR, SUCH NOTICE AND DEMAND BEING EXPRESSLY WAIVED. ARTICLE IV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 4.1 DEFAULTS. Bank may enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement upon default. A default shall occur if Debtor fails to comply with the terms of any Loan Documents (including this Agreement or any guaranty by Debtor), a demand for payment is made under a demand loan, or any other obligor fails to comply with the terms of any Loan Documents for which Debtor has given Bank a guaranty or pledge. 4.2 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; NOTICE; WAIVER. In addition to the remedies for default set forth in the Loan Documents, Bank upon default shall have all other rights and remedies for default provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as any other applicable law and this Agreement, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RIGHT TO REPOSSESS, RENDER UNUSABLE AND/OR DISPOSE OF THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS. The rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Bank would otherwise have. With respect to such rights and remedies: (a) ASSEMBLING COLLATERAL; STORAGE; USE OF DEBTOR'S NAME/OTHER PROPERTY. BANK MAY REQUIRE DEBTOR TO ASSEMBLE THE Collateral and to make it available to Bank at any convenient place designated by Bank. Debtor recognizes that Bank will not have an adequate remedy in Law if this obligation is breached and accordingly, Debtor's obligation to assemble the Collateral shall be specifically enforceable. Bank shall have the right to take immediate possession of said Collateral and Debtor irrevocably authorizes Bank to enter any OF THE premises wherever said Collateral shall be located, and TO store, repair, maintain, assemble, manufacture, advertise and sell, lease or dispose of (by public sale or otherwise) the same on said premises until sold, all without charge or rent to Bank. Bank is hereby granted an irrevocable license to use, without charge, Debtor's equipment, inventory, labels, patents, copyrights, franchises, names, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter and any property of a similar nature; and Debtor's rights under all licenses and franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit. Further, Debtor releases Bank from obtaining a bond or surety with respect to any repossession and/or disposition of the Collateral. (b) NOTICE OF DISPOSITION. Written notice, when required by law, sent to any address of Debtor in this Agreement, at least five (5) calendar days (counting the day of sending) before the date of a proposed disposition of the Collateral is reasonable notice but less notice may be reasonable under the circumstances. Notification to account debtors by Bank shall not be deemed a disposition of the Collateral. Notice of any record shall be deemed delivered when the record has been (a) deposited in the United States Mail, postage pre-paid, (b) received by overnight delivery service, (c) received by telex, (d) received by telecopy, (e) received through the internet, or (f) when personally delivered. (c) POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL/COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Bank shall not, at any time, be obligated to either take or retain possession or control of the Collateral. With respect to Collateral in the possession or control of Bank, Debtor and Bank agree that as a standard for determining commercial reasonableness, Bank need not liquidate, collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral if Bank believes, in good faith, that disposition of the Collateral would not be commercially reasonable, would subject Bank to third-party claims or liability, that other potential purchasers could be attracted or that a better price could be obtained if Bank held the Collateral for up to 2 years. Bank may sell Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. Furthermore, Bank may sell the Collateral on credit (and reduce the Obligations only when payment is received from the buyer), at wholesale and/or with or without an agent or broker; and Bank need not complete, process, repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral prior to disposition. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the cash proceeds of the sale. Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. (d) WAIVER BY DEBTOR. Bank has no obligation and Debtor waives any obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting the obligations from any third parties and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any third party to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank's rights against Debtor. Debtor further waives any obligation on the part of Bank to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or in payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement or any other agreement between Debtor and Bank, Debtor does not waive any statutory rights except to the extent that the waiver thereof is permitted by law. (e) WAIVER BY BANK. Bank may permit Debtor to attempt to remedy any default without waiving its rights and remedies hereunder, and Bank may waive any default without waiving any other subsequent or prior default by Debtor. Furthermore, delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or at law shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver or suspension shall be deemed to have occurred unless Bank has expressly agreed in WRITING specifying such waiver or suspension. ARTICLE V. MISCELLANEOUS ALL OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE EXPRESSLY INCORPORATED AS A PAD OF THIS AGREEMENT. 5.1 DEPOSIT WITH BANK. At any time upon default, Bank may require that all proceeds of Collateral received by Debtor shall be held by Debtor upon an express trust for Bank, shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Debtor and shall be turned over to Bank in precisely the form received (but endorsed by Debtor, if necessary for collection) not later than the business day following the day of their receipt.
