revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans") to or for the account

by
that certain Revolving Term Note, of even date herewith (the

in the
face amount of the Revolving Loan Amount. The Bank's agreement to
make
any advances pursuant to this Agreement and evidenced by the

collectively
hereinafter referred to as the "Loan Documents".
1.2 Revolving Loan Account. An account shall be opened on the books
of
Bank in which account a record will be kept of all Revolving Loans,
and
all payments thereon and other appropriate debits and credits as
provided
by this Agreement.
1.3 Interest. Interest respecting the Revolving Loans will be
charged to
Borrower on the principal amount from time to time outstanding at
the
interest rate specified in the Revolving Note in accordance with

Loans
shall be payable to Bank on or before the maturity date of the

Bank's
sole discretion, in excess of the Revolving Loan Amount shall not
limit
the obligations of Borrower or any of the Bank's rights or
remedies
hereunder or under the Loan Documents or otherwise; all such
Revolving
Loans shall be secured by the Collateral, as hereinafter defined,
and
shall be due and payable to the Bank in accordance with the terms
of the
Revolving Note, and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in
the

pursuant to
this Agreement respecting the Revolving Loans, repayable on demand,
and
shall be secured by all Collateral.

general
borrowing resolution of the Borrower, or in the absence of such

may
request discretionary loans hereunder, either orally or otherwise,
but
the Bank at its option may require that all requests for loans
hereunder

in
acting upon any request referred to herein which the Bank believes
in
good faith to have been made by an authorized person or persons.

loan hereunder may be credited by Bank to any deposit account of
Borrower
with Bank or with any other Bank with which Borrower maintains a
deposit
account, or may be paid to Borrower (or as Borrower instructs) or
may be
applied to any Obligations, as Bank may in each instance elect.

fair
consideration, all in the ordinary course of the Borrower's
business,

with reference to the Collateral, and notify Debtors to make all
payments
due as proceeds of the Collateral to the Bank. Until Bank shall
otherwise
notify Borrower, all proceeds of and collections of Collateral
shall be
retained by Borrower and used solely for the ordinary and usual
operation
of Borrower's business. From and after notice by Bank to Borrower,
all
proceeds of and collections of the Collateral shall be held in
trust by
Borrower for Bank and shall not be commingled with Borrower's other
funds
or deposited in any Bank account of Borrower; and Borrower agrees
to
deliver to Bank on the dates of receipt thereof by Borrower,
duly
endorsed to Bank or to bearer, or assigned to Bank, as may be
appropriate, all proceeds of the Collateral in the identical
form
received by Borrower.
2.4 Allowances. Absent an Event of Default the Borrower may grant
such
allowances or other adjustments to Debtors (exclusive of extending
the
time for payment of any item which shall not be done without
first
obtaining the Bank's written consent in each instance) as the
Borrower
may reasonably deem to accord with sound business practice,
including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, accepting the
return of
all or any part of the inventory (subject to the provisions set
forth in
this Agreement with reference to returned inventory).
2.5 Records. The Borrower shall hold its books and records relating
to
the Collateral segregated from all the Borrower's other books and
records
in a manner satisfactory to the Bank; and shall deliver to the Bank
from
time to time promptly at its request all invoices, original
documents of
title, contracts, chattel paper, instruments and any other
writings
relating thereto, and other evidence of performance of contracts,
or
evidence of shipment or delivery of the merchandise or of the
rendering
of services; and the Borrower will deliver to the Bank promptly at
the
Bank's request from time to time additional copies of any or all of
such
papers or writings, and such other information with respect to any
of the
Collateral and such schedules of inventory, schedules of accounts
and
such other writings as the Bank may in its sole discretion deem to
be
necessary or effectual to evidence any loan hereunder or the
Bank's
security interest in the Collateral.
2.6 Legends. The Borrower shall promptly make, stamp or record
such
entries or legends on the Borrower's books and records or on any of
the
Collateral (including, without limitation, chattel paper) as Bank
shall
request from time to time, to indicate and disclose that Bank has
a
security interest in such Collateral.

from
time to time, shall have the right at the sole cost and expense
of
Borrower, and the Borrower will permit the Bank and/or its
representatives: (a) to examine, check, make copies of or extracts
from
any of the Borrower's books, records and files (including,
without
limitation, orders and original correspondence); (b) to perform
field
exams or otherwise inspect and examine the Collateral and to check,
test
or appraise the same as to quality, quantity, value and condition;
and
(c) to verify the Collateral or any portion or portions thereof or
the
Borrower's compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement.
2.8 Purchase Money Security Interests. To the extent the Borrower
uses
proceeds of any loans to purchase Collateral, the repayment of such
loans
shall be on a "first-in-first-out" basis so that the portion of the
loan
used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be repaid in
the
order in which Borrower purchased such item of
Collateral.
2.9 Search Reports. Bank shall receive prior to the date of
this
Agreement UCC search results under all names used by the Borrower
during
the prior five (5) years, from each jurisdiction where any
Collateral is
located, from the State, if any, where the Borrower is organized
and
registered (as such terms are used in the Code), and the State
where the
Borrower's chief executive office is located. The search results
shall
confirm that the security interest in the Collateral granted
Bank
hereunder is prior to all other security interests in favor of any
other
Person.

shall
automatically be deemed to be without recourse to the Bank in any
event)
or for the existence, character, quantity, quality, condition,
value or
delivery of any goods purporting to be represented by any such
documents;
and the Bank, by accepting such security interest in the
Collateral, or
by releasing any Collateral to the Borrower, shall not be deemed to
have
assumed any obligation or liability to any supplier or Debtor or to
any
other third party, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify and defend
the
Bank and hold it harmless in respect to any claim or proceeding
arising
out of any matter referred to in this paragraph.

adverse.

or are aware of a release or threat of release of Hazardous
Materials (as
defined herein) on any of the premises or personal property owned
or
controlled by Borrower ("Controlled Property") or any property

Environmental Law.
To the best of Borrower's knowledge, neither Borrower, nor any
prior
owner or tenant of any Controlled Property, committed or omitted
any act
which caused the release of Hazardous Materials on such
Controlled
Property which could give rise to a lien thereon by any Federal,
state or

any
Controlled Property has been recorded or filed in any public
records by
any Federal, state or local government for costs, penalties, fines
or

or
similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed
in
connection with the ownership, operation, or use of the
Controlled
Property, including without limitation, the past or present
generation,
treatment, storage, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials
into
the environment, have been duly obtained or filed.
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from
all
liability, loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorney fees
and
costs of litigation, arising from any and all of its violations of
any
Environmental Law (including those arising from any lien by any
Federal,
state or local government arising from the presence of
Hazardous
Materials) or from the presence of Hazardous Materials located on
or
emanating from any Controlled Property or Abutting Property
whether
existing or not existing and whether known or unknown at the time
of the
execution hereof and regardless of whether or not caused by, or
within
the control of Borrower. Borrower further agrees to reimburse Bank
upon
demand for any costs incurred by Bank in connection with the
foregoing.
Borrower agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be continuous
and
shall survive the repayment of all debts to Bank and shall continue
so
long as a valid claim may be lawfully asserted against the
Bank.
