LOANS. 2.1 TERMS; TIMING. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Lender agrees to advance to Borrower one or more term loans (each, a "LOAN" and collectively, the "LOANS") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,500,000. Each Loan shall be in an amount of at least $50,000 or any integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof and shall be made on a date at least five (5) Business Days after the delivery to Lender in the manner specified in Section 9.1 of a notice of borrowing in the form of Schedule II hereto (the "NOTICE OF BORROWING"), which Notice of Borrowing shall have been approved in accordance with Section 2.1(b) below prior to any obligation on the part of Lender to provide such funds. -2- (b) Except as provided in Section 2.1(b)(i) below, Borrower shall be entitled to submit not more than one Notice of Borrowing with respect to any calendar quarter. In the event Borrower desires to draw down a Loan with respect to any calendar quarter, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of such calendar quarter, Borrower shall submit to the Budget Committee a Notice of Borrowing specifying in reasonable detail Borrower's estimated expenses and working capital requirements for such upcoming calendar quarter on a monthly basis, which expenses and working capital requirements shall be in accordance with the then-existing Budget. Disbursements of Loans may only be requested by Borrower in accordance with the then-existing Budget, and Lender shall have no obligation to make any Loan which is not in accordance therewith. In addition, each Notice of Borrowing shall be subject to the review of the Budget Committee; provided, however that the Budget Committee shall not have the discretion to disapprove a Loan that is otherwise within the then-existing Budget. The Budget Committee shall approve any qualified Notice of Borrowing within ten (10) days after the receipt thereof. After review and approval by the Budget Committee, the Notice of Borrowing, including any adjustments mandated by the Budget Committee, shall be submitted to Lender for draw down of a Loan in accordance with Section 2.1(a) above. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(b), Borrower may submit to the Budget Committee up to two (2) additional Notices of Borrowing during any calendar quarter (a "Monthly Notice"). A Monthly Notice must be submitted at least five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of such month and shall specify in reasonable detail Borrower's estimated expenses and working capital requirements for such upcoming month, which expenses and working capital requirements shall be in accordance with the then-existing Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Loan which is not in accordance with the then-existing Budget. Each Monthly Notice shall be subject to the review of the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee shall approve any qualified Monthly Notice within five (5) days after the receipt thereof. After review and approval by the Budget Committee, the Monthly Notice, including any adjustments mandated by the Budget Committee, shall be submitted to Lender for draw down of a Loan in accordance with Section 2.1(a) above. 2.2 INTEREST PAYMENTS. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from the date of each such Loan until the Maturity thereof, quarterly within thirty (30) days of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning on September 30, 1997, and at Maturity, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Prime Rate (as in effect on the first day of each new quarterly period) plus two percent (2 %). All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed. 2.3 MATURITY; PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING LOANS; TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS. (a) MATURITY DATE. Unless earlier prepaid, all outstanding Loans shall be due and payable on April 1, 2000 (the "MATURITY DATE"); provided, however that no Loans shall be made after December 31, 1999. (b) PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING LOANS. Unless earlier prepaid, on the Maturity Date, Borrower shall repay all outstanding Loans, including all unpaid fees, costs, expenses, accrued interest and principal (the "Aggregate Loan Amount"), in lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately available funds; provided, however, that prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower may, by vote of its shareholders including the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, elect to repay the Aggregate Loan Amount by tendering to Lender one hundred percent (100%) of Borrower's outstanding Equity Securities, duly endorsed in blank pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. In the event that the Fair Market Value of Borrower is greater than the Aggregate Loan Amount, Lender shall pay to the holders of Borrower's Equity Securities the difference between the Fair Market Value of Borrower and the Aggregate Loan Amount. Any such -3- payment by Lender to holders of Borrower's Equity Securities shall be made, at the option of Lender, in cash or Lender Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of Lender Common Stock). In the event that the Fair Market Value of Borrower is less than the Aggregate Loan Amount, all Obligations of Borrower owing pursuant to this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be satisfied completely upon tender of Borrower's Equity Securities to Lender, duly endorsed in blank. Any payment by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), whether in cash or Lender Common Stock, shall be made in accordance with written instructions received from Borrower's Representatives, and upon such payment, Lender shall have no liability to any holder of Borrower's Equity Securities for any amounts otherwise payable hereunder. (i) REGISTRATION OF LENDER COMMON STOCK. In the event that Lender elects to deliver Lender Common Stock to holders of Borrower's Equity Securities, pursuant to either Section 2.3(b) above or upon exercise of the Purchase Options, Lender shall file within thirty (30) days of delivery of such Lender Common Stock a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of Lender Common Stock received by the holders of Borrower's Equity Securities so as to permit the public resale thereof. Lender shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within sixty (60) days of the filing of such registration statement. Such registration shall be on commercially reasonable terms applicable to "demand" registration rights as shall be mutually agreed upon by Lender and holders of Borrower's Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to file such registration statement (A) prior to the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of Lender Common Stock or (B) if all shares of Lender Common Stock so issued may be sold by the holders thereof within a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act following the date as of which the registration statement would otherwise be required to be filed hereunder. (c) TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS. Nothing contained in Section 2.3(b) above shall be construed to obligate Lender to accept Borrower's Equity Securities as payment for the Aggregate Loan Amount. In the event Borrower tenders the Equity Securities in accordance with Section 2.3 and Lender notifies Borrower of its intention not to accept such Equity Securities as payment, the Aggregate Loan Amount shall nonetheless be deemed to be satisfied in full and Borrower shall have no further obligations under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, except that the Distribution Agreement will be modified in accordance with the provisions contained therein. 2.4 PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans solely to satisfy current expense requirements and for general working capital purposes. 2.5 PREPAYMENTS. (a) TERMS OF ALL PREPAYMENTS. Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.5(b) or a mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, a prepayment upon acceleration), Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. (b) OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. At its option, Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days' notice to Lender, prepay the Loans in whole, or in part in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or any integral multiple thereof. -4- (c) APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. All prepayments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans. 2.6 OTHER PAYMENT TERMS. (a) PLACE AND MANNER. Other than pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i), Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender hereunder to a bank account designated by Lender or, at Lender's option, at the address specified in Section 9.1, in each case in lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately available funds. (b) DATE. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. (c) DEFAULT RATE. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding balance of the Loans, and on interest (compounded monthly) and other amounts not paid when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, from the date due thereof until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate PLUS three percent (3%), such rate to change from time to time as the Prime Rate shall change. All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed. 2.7 NOTE. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit A (the "NOTE"). 2.8 LOAN FUNDING. Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans into a bank account of Borrower in which Lender has a first priority perfected security interest. 2.9 SECURITY; FURTHER ASSURANCES. (a) SECURITY. The Obligations shall be secured by the following: (i) A Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"); (ii) A Stock Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "PLEDGE AGREEMENT"), executed by each holder of Equity Securities of Borrower; and (iii) An Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto (the "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT"). (b) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to Lender the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and such other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents as Lender may reasonably request to create, perfect, evidence and maintain (i) a first priority security interest of Lender in all of the assets of Borrower and the Equity Securities of Borrower as further set forth in the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the -5- Intellectual Property Security Agreement and (ii) the rights of Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall fully cooperate with Lender and perform all additional acts reasonably requested by Lender to effect the purposes of the foregoing and the rights granted to Lender hereunder. ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER. To induce Lender to enter into this Loan Agreement and to make Loans hereunder, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (which Disclosure Schedule shall set forth exceptions to each Section of this Article 3 in a separate item and no exception to one Section shall be deemed to relate to another Section unless a specific cross-reference is made in the Disclosure Schedule item corresponding to such other Section): 3.1 DUE INCORPORATION, QUALIFICATION, ETC. Borrower (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation; (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted; and (iii) is duly qualified, licensed to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or licensed could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 3.2 AUTHORITY. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each Loan Document to be executed by Borrower and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (i) are within the power of Borrower and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of Borrower. 3.3 ENFORCEABILITY. Each Loan Document executed, or to be executed, by Borrower has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes, or will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity. 3.4 NON-CONTRAVENTION. The execution and delivery by Borrower of the Loan Documents executed by Borrower and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law applicable to Borrower; (ii) violate any provision of, or result in the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both), any Contractual Obligation of Borrower; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property, asset or revenue of Borrower (except such Liens as may be created in favor of Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents). 3.5 APPROVALS. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person (including, without limitation, the shareholders of any Person) is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents executed by Borrower and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. 3.6 NO VIOLATION OR DEFAULT. Borrower is not in violation of or in default with respect to (i) any Requirement of Law; (ii) any Contractual Obligation (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not in effect, would result in such a violation or default), where, in each case, such violation or default, individually, or together with all such violations or defaults, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower (A) has not violated any Environmental Laws, -6- (B) does not have any liability under any Environmental Laws, or (C) has not received notice or other communication of an investigation nor is under investigation by any Governmental Authority having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such violation, liability or investigation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. 3.7 LITIGATION. Except as set forth (with estimates of the dollar amounts involved) in Item 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, no actions (including, without limitation, derivative actions), suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower at law or in equity in any court or before any other Governmental Authority which if adversely determined (i) would (alone or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin, either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. 3.8 TITLE. Borrower owns and has good and marketable title in fee simple absolute to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real properties and good title to its other assets and properties as reflected in the most recent Financial Statements delivered to Lender (except those assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of such Financial Statements) and all assets and properties acquired by Borrower since such date (except those disposed of in the ordinary course of business). Such assets and properties are subject to no Lien, except for Permitted Liens. 3.9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Financial Statements of Borrower which have been delivered to Lender, (i) are in accordance with the books and records of Borrower, which have been maintained in accordance with good business practice; (ii) have been prepared in conformity with GAAP; and (iii) fairly present the consolidated financial position of Borrower as of the dates presented therein and the results of operations, and changes in financial positions or cash flows, as the case may be, for the periods presented therein. Borrower does not have any contingent obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding obligations which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed in the Financial Statements dated December 31, 1996, furnished by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof. 3.10 EQUITY SECURITIES. Borrower's total authorized and issued capitalization (including the appropriate conversion ratios) is as set forth in Item 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedule. The Equity Securities of Borrower have the respective rights, preferences and privileges set forth in Borrower's Charter Documents in effect on the date hereof. All of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Borrower have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as expressly referenced herein or as set forth in Item 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are as of the date of this Loan Agreement no options, warrants or rights to purchase Equity Securities authorized, issued or outstanding, nor is Borrower obligated in any other manner to issue shares of its Equity Securities. There are no restrictions on the transfer of shares of capital stock of Borrower, other than those imposed by Borrower's Charter Documents as of the date hereof, or relevant state and federal securities laws, and no holder of any Equity Security of Borrower is entitled to preemptive or similar statutory or contractual rights, either arising pursuant to any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or that are otherwise binding upon Borrower. The offer and sale of all shares of Equity Securities of Borrower issued before the Closing Date complied with or were exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable federal and state securities laws. No Person has the right to demand or other rights to cause Borrower to file any registration statement under the Securities Act, relating to any Equity Securities of Borrower presently outstanding or that may be subsequently issued, or any right to participate in any such registration statement. -7- 3.11 NO AGREEMENTS TO SELL ASSETS.

ARTICLE 8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each of Lender and Borrower agree not to use any Confidential Information of the other party disclosed to it, for its own use or use by any other Person or for any purpose except to carry out and perform its obligations under agreements between Borrower and Lender, and not to disclose any such Confidential Information except to employees (or consultants subject to confidentiality provisions similar to this Article 8) who are required to have such information in order to carry out and perform such obligations. Borrower and Lender will take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy and avoid disclosure or use of Confidential Information in order to prevent it from entering the public domain or possession of Persons other than those Persons authorized hereunder to have any such information, which measures shall include, without limitation, the highest degree of care that each utilizes to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. Either party shall notify the affected party promptly in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information which may come to such party's attention. -20- For purposes of this section, "Confidential Information" means (a) the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and accompanying transactions, as well as (b) any proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, without limitation, research, product plans, products, services, customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business or technological information disclosed by either party to the other either directly or indirectly. "Confidential Information" of a disclosing party does not include any information which: (i) is known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure; (ii) has become publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (iii) has been rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any agreement with the disclosing party; (iv) has been independently developed by the receiving party as evidenced by appropriate documentation; (v) has been approved for release by written authorization executed by an authorized officer of the non-disclosing party; (vi) is required to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to a Requirement of Law (including without limitation filing the Loan Documents as exhibits to Lender's periodic reports required under the U.S. securities laws); or (vii) (A) is not provided in writing or on magnetic media, or (B) if provided orally, is not confirmed in writing to be confidential within fifteen (15) days after disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may disclose generally to potential customers of Borrower the existence of a collaborative relationship between Borrower and Lender, where such disclosure does not include disclosure of any of the terms of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Should Borrower wish to disclose the specific terms of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to a potential investor or investors, it shall first obtain written consent to such disclosure from Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to bona fide potential investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may issue a press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent it deems such disclosure necessary or advisable. Each party acknowledges that the other's Confidential Information is unique property of extreme value to the other party, and that unauthorized use or disclosure thereof would cause the other party irreparable harm that could not be compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other will be entitled to injunctive and preliminary relief to remedy any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information. Nothing in this Article 8 is intended to supersede any existing agreement between the parties under which confidential technical or market information has or may be given by one party to the other. As to matters not covered by such existing agreements, this Article 8 shall control in the absence of any specific agreement to the contrary. ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS. 9.1 NOTICES.

The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof shall have been specifically directed and required by the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower shall have elected not to assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between Lender and Borrower which, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to Lender, makes employing separate counsel advisable.

Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Lender. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right. A waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 9.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, all future holders of the Note and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither Lender nor Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however that a change in control of equity ownership of Lender or other corporate proceeding whereby substantially all of the assets or shares of Lender are sold or transferred to a third party shall not be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
