2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

      For value received, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank such
      amount, as provided for below, together with interest, as provided for
      below.

            2.1   Upon the request of Borrower, made at any time and from time
      to time during the term hereof, and so long as no Event of Default has
      occurred, Bank shall lend to Borrower an amount equal to the Borrowing
      Base; provided, however, that the Daily Balance shall not exceed the
      lesser of either the Credit Limit or the Borrowing Base, minus all Letter
      of Credit Obligations. If at any time for any reason, the amount of
      Indebtedness owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to this Section 2.1 and
      Section 2.3 of this Agreement is greater than the aggregate amount
      available to be drawn under this Section 2.1, Borrower shall immediately
      pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.

            2.2   Except as hereinbelow provided, the Credit shall bear
      interest, on the Daily Balance owing, at a fluctuating rate of interest
      equal to the Base Rate plus one half percent (0.500%) percentage points
      per annum.

      All Interest chargeable under this Agreement that is based upon a per
      annum calculation shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
      (360) day year for actual days elapsed. The Base Rate as of the date of
      this Agreement is eight and one quarter percent (8.250%) per annum. In the
      event that the Base Rate announced is, from time to time hereafter,
      changed, adjustment in the Base Rate shall be made and based on the Base
      Rate in effect on the date of such change. The Base Rate, as adjusted,
      shall apply to the Credit until the Bass Rate is adjusted again.


                                       3.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

      All interest payable by Borrower under the Credit shall be due and payable
      on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement.
      A late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment may
      be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar
      days after the payment due date, but acceptance of payment of this charge
      shall not waive any Event of Default under this Agreement. Upon the
      occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and without constituting a
      waiver of any such Event of Default, then during the continuation thereof,
      at Bank's option, the Credit shall bear interest, on the Daily Balance
      owing, at a rate equal to three percent (3%) per year in excess of the
      rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of
      Default, and such rate of interest shall fluctuate thereafter from time to
      time at the same time and in the same amount as any fluctuation in the
      date of interest applicable immediately prior to any such occurrence.

            2.3   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank
      agrees to issue or cause to be issued letters of credit for the account of
      Borrower during the term of this Agreement in the aggregate outstanding
      face amount not to exceed (i) the lesser of the Credit Limit or the
      Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the then outstanding Daily Balance, provided
      that the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not in any case exceed Two
      Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars $250,000.00). All letters of
      credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its sole
      discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank's form
      of standard Letter of Credit Application and Agreement.

      The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made
      under letters of credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
      in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit
      Application and Agreement with respect to each such letter of credit.
      Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Bank harmless from any
      loss, cost, expense, or liability, including, without limitation,
      reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Bank, whether in-house or outside
      counsel is used, arising out of or in connection with any letters of
      credit.

3.    TERM.

            3.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until:

      [ ]   Terminated by notice, by either party. Notice of such termination
      shall be effectuated by mailing of a registered or certified letter not
      less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such
      termination, addressed to the other party at the address set forth herein
      and the termination shall be effective as of the date so fixed in such
      notice.

      [x]   January 1, 2008. unless earlier terminated by notice by Borrower.
      Notice of such termination by Borrower shall be effectuated by mailing of
      a registered or certified letter not less than thirty (30) days prior to
      the effective date of such termination, addressed to Bank at the address
      set forth herein and the termination shall be effective as of the date so
      fixed in such notice.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Borrower be in default of one or
      more of the provisions of this Agreement, Bank may terminate this
      Agreement at any time without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      should either Bank or Borrower become insolvent or unable to meet its
      debts as they mature, or fail, suspend, or go out of business, the other
      party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time without
      notice. On the date of termination all Indebtedness shall become
      immediately due and payable without notice or demand; no notice of
      termination by Borrower shall be effective until Borrower shall have paid
      all Indebtedness to Bank in full. Notwithstanding termination, until all
      Indebtedness has been fully satisfied, Bank shall retain its security
      interest in all existing Collateral and Collateral arising thereafter, and
      Borrower shall continue to perform all of its obligations.

            3.2   After termination and when Bank has received payment in full
      of Borrower's Indebtedness to Bank, Bank shall reassign to Borrower all
      Collateral held by Bank, and shall execute a termination of all security
      agreements and security interests given by Borrower to Bank.

4.    CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

            4.1   Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing security Interest
      in all presently existing and hereafter arising Collateral in order to
      secure prompt repayment of any and all Indebtedness owed by Borrower to
      Bank and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each and all
      of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and otherwise
      created. Bank's security interest in the Collateral shall attach to all
      Collateral without further act on the part of Bank or Borrower. In the
      event that any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists
      of Negotiable Collateral, Borrower, immediately upon the request of Bank,
      shall (a) endorse or assign such Negotiable Collateral to Bank, (b)
      deliver actual physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Bank,
      and (c) mark conspicuously all of its records pertaining to such
      Negotiable Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to
      Bank (and in the case of Negotiable Collateral consisting of tangible
      chattel paper, immediately mark all such tangible chattel paper with a
      conspicuous legend in form and substance satisfactory to Bank), indicating
      that the Negotiable Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
      to Bank hereunder.

            4.2   Bank's security Interest in the Accounts shall attach to all
      Accounts without further act on the part of Bank or Borrower. Upon request
      from Bank, Borrower shall provide Bank with schedules describing all
      Accounts created or acquired by Borrower (including without limitation
      agings listing the names and addresses of, and amounts owing by date by
      account debtors), and shall execute and deliver written assignments of all
      Accounts to Bank all in a form acceptable to Bank; provided, however.
      Borrower's failure to execute and deliver such schedules and/or
      assignments shall not affect or limit Bank's security interest and other
      rights in and to the Accounts. Together with each schedule, Borrower shall
      furnish Bank with copies of Borrower's customers' invoices or the
      equivalent, and original shipping or delivery receipts for all merchandise
      sold, and Borrower warrants the genuineness thereof. Upon the occurrence
      of an Event of Default, Bank or Bank's designee may notify customers or
      account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Collateral and direct
      such customers or account debtors to make payments directly to Bank, but
      unless and until Bank does so or gives Borrower other written
      instructions, Borrower shall collect all Accounts for Bank, receive in
      trust all payments thereon as Bank's trustee, and, if so requested to do
      so from Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver said payments to Bank in
      their original form as received from the account debtor and all letters of
      credit, advices of credit, instruments, documents, chattel paper or any
      similar property evidencing or constituting Collateral. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, if sales of inventory are made
      for cash, Borrower shall immediately deliver to Bank, in identical form,
      all such cash, checks, or other forms of payment which Borrower receives.
      The receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank shall not be
      considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment
      is honored when presented for payment, in which event, said check or other
      item of payment shall be deemed to have been paid to Bank two (2) calendar
      days after the date Bank actually receives such check or other item of
      payment.

            4.3   Bank's security interest in Inventor/ shall attach to all
      Inventory without further act on the part of Bank or Borrower. Borrower
      will at Borrower's expense pledge, assemble and deliver such inventory to
      Bank or to a third party as Bank's bailee; or hold the same in trust for
      Bank's account or store the same in a warehouse in Bank's name: or deliver
      to Bank documents of title representing said Inventory; or evidence of
      Bank's security interest in some other manner acceptable to Bank. Until a
      default by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Agreement between
      Borrower and Bank, Borrower may, subject to the provisions hereof and
      consistent herewith, sell the Inventory, but only in the ordinary course
      of Borrower's business. A sale of Inventory in Borrower's ordinary course
      of business does not include an exchange or a transfer in partial or total
      satisfaction of a debt owing by Borrower.


                                       4.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

            4.4   Concurrently with Borrower's execution of this Agreement, and
      at any time or times hereafter at the request of Bank, Borrower shall (a)
      execute and deliver to Bank security agreements, mortgages, assignments,
      certificates of title, affidavits, reports, notices, schedules of
      accounts, letters of authority and all other documents that Bank may
      reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and maintain
      perfected Bank's security interest in the Collateral and in order to fully
      consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, (b)
      cooperate with Bank in obtaining a control agreement in form and substance
      satisfactory to Bank with respect to all deposit accounts, electronic
      chattel paper, investment property, and letter-of-credit rights, and (c)
      in the event that any Collateral is in the possession of a third party,
      Borrower shall join with Bank in notifying such third party of Bank's
      security interest and obtaining an acknowledgment from such third party
      that it is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. By
      authenticating or becoming bound by this Agreement, Borrower authorizes
      the filing of initial financing statement(s), and any amendment(s)
      covering the Collateral to perfect and maintain perfected Bank's security
      interest in the Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
      Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Bank (and any
      of Bank's officers, employees or agents designated by Bank) as Borrower's
      true and lawful attorney-in-fact with power to sign the name of Borrower
      on any security agreement, mortgage, assignment, certificate of title,
      affidavit, letter of authority, notice of other similar documents which
      must be executed and/or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected
      Bank's security interest in the Collateral, and to take such actions in
      its own name or in Borrower's name as Bank, in its sole discretion, deems
      necessary or appropriate to establish exclusive possession or control (as
      defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over any Collateral of such nature
      that perfection of Bank's security Interest may be accomplished by
      possession or control.

            4.5   Borrower shall make appropriate entries in Borrower's Books
      disclosing Bank's security interest in the Accounts. Bank (through any of
      its officers, employees or agents) shall have the right at any time or
      times hereafter, provided that reasonable notice is provided, during
      Borrower's usual business hours, or during the usual business hours of any
      third party having control over the records of Borrower, to inspect and
      verify Borrower's Books in order to verify the amount or condition of, or
      any other matter, relating to, said Collateral and Borrower's financial
      condition.

            4.6   Effective only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
      Borrower appoints Bank or any other person whom Bank may designate as
      Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with power: to endorse Borrower's name on any
      checks, notes, acceptances, money order, drafts or other forms of payment
      or security that may come into Bank's possession; to sign Borrower's name
      on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Accounts, on drafts
      against account debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts, on
      verifications of Accounts and on notices to account debtors; to establish
      a lock box arrangement and/or to notify the post office authorities to
      change the address for delivery of Borrower's mail addressed to Borrower
      to an address designated by Bank, to receive and open all mail addressed
      to Borrower and to retain all mail relating to the Collateral and forward
      all other mail to Borrower; to send, whether in writing or by telephone,
      requests for verification of Accounts; and to do all things necessary to
      carry out this Agreement. Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of the
      attorney-in-fact. Neither Bank nor its attorney-in-fact will be liable for
      any acts or omissions or for any error of judgement or mistake of fact or
      law. This power being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as
      any Accounts in which Bank has a security interest remain unpaid and until
      the Indebtedness has been fully satisfied.

            4.7   In order to protect or perfect any security interest which
      Bank is granted hereunder. Bank may, in its sole discretion, discharge any
      lien or encumbrance or bond the same, pay any insurance, maintain guards,
      warehousemen, or any personnel to protect the Collateral, pay any service
      bureau, or, obtain any records, and all costs for the same shall be added
      to the Indebtedness and shall be payable on demand.

            4.8   Borrower agrees that Bank may provide information relating to
      this Agreement or relating to Borrower to Bank's parent, affiliates,
      subsidiaries and service providers.

5.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

      extension of the financial accommodations hereunder, Borrower shall

6.    WARRANTIES. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS.


                                       5.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

            6.1   If so requested by Bank, Borrower shall, at such intervals
      designated by Bank, during the term hereof execute and deliver a Report of
      Accounts Receivable or similar report, in form customarily used by Bank.
      The aggregate amount of the Borrowing Base at all times during the
      effectiveness of this Agreement shall not be less than the advances made
      hereunder. Bank shall have the right to recompute the Borrowing Base in
      conformity with this Agreement.

            6.2   If any warranty is breached as to any Account, or any Account
      is not paid in full by an account debtor within ninety (90) days from the
      date of invoice, or an account debtor disputes liability or makes any
      claim with respect thereto, or a petition in bankruptcy or other
      application for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency
      law is filed by or against an account debtor, or an account debtor makes
      an assignment for the benefit of creditors, becomes insolvent, fails or
      goes out of business, then Bank may deem ineligible any and all Accounts
      owing by that account debtor, and reduce the Borrowing Base by the amount
      thereof. Bank shall retain its security interest in all Accounts, whether
      eligible or ineligible, until all Indebtedness has been fully paid and
      satisfied. Returns and allowances, if any, as between Borrower and its
      customers, will be on the same basis and in accordance with the usual
      customary practices of Borrower, as they exist at this time. Any
      merchandise which is returned by an account debtor or otherwise recovered
      shall be set aside, marked with Bank's name, and Bank shall retain a
      security interest therein. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all
      disputes and claims and settle or adjust them on terms approved by Bank.
      After default by Borrower hereunder, no discount, credit or allowance
      shall be granted to any account debtor by Borrower and no return of
      merchandise shall be accepted by Borrower without Bank's consent. Bank
      may, after default by Borrower, settle or adjust disputes and claims
      directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms which Bank
      considers advisable, and in such cases Bank will credit Borrower's loan
      account with only the net amounts received by Bank in payment of the
      Accounts, after deducting all Bank Expenses in connection therewith.

            6.3   Borrower warrants, represents, covenants and agrees that:

                  a.    Borrower has good and marketable title to the
            Collateral. Bank has and shall continue to have a first priority
            perfected security interest in and to the Collateral. The Collateral
            shall at all times remain free and clear of all liens, encumbrances
            and security interests (except those in favor of Bank);

                  b.    All Accounts are and will, at all times pertinent
            hereto, be bona fide existing obligations created by the sale and
            delivery of merchandise or the rendition of services to account
            debtors in the ordinary course of business, free of liens, claims,
            encumbrances and security interests (except as held by Bank and
            except as may be consented to, in writing, by Bank) and are
            unconditionally owed to Borrower without defenses, disputes, offsets
            counterclaims, rights of return or cancellation, and Borrower shall
            have received no notice of actual or imminent bankruptcy or
            insolvency of any account debtor at the time an Account due from
            such account debtor is assigned to Bank; and

                  c.    At the time each Account is assigned to Bank, all
            property giving rise to such Account shall have been delivered to
            the account debtor or to the agent for the account debtor for
            immediate shipment to, and unconditional acceptance by, the account
            debtor. Borrower shall deliver to Bank, as Bank may from time to
            time require, delivery receipts, customer's purchase orders,
            shipping instructions, bills of lading and any other evidence of
            shipping arrangements. Absent such a request by Bank, copies of all
            such documentation shall be held by Borrower as custodian for Bank.

            6.4   At the time each eligible Account is assigned to Bank, all
      such Eligible Accounts will be due and payable on terms set forth in
      Section 1.18, or on such other terms approved in writing by Bank in
      advance of the creation of such Accounts and which are expressly set forth
      on the face of all invoices, copies of which shall be held by Borrower as
      custodian for Bank, and no such Eligible Account will then be past due.

            6.5   Borrower shall keep the Inventory only at the following
      locations: n/a and the owner or mortgagees of the respective locations
      are: n/a.

            reasonably requested by Bank, deliver to Bank, designations of
            Inventory specifying Borrower's cost of Inventory, the wholesale
            market value thereof and such other matters and information relating
            to the Inventory as Bank may request;

                  b.    Borrower's Inventory, valued at the lower of Borrower's
            cost or the wholesale market value thereof, at all times pertinent
            hereto shall not be less than n/a Dollars ($ n/a ) of which no less
            than n/a Dollars ($ n/a ) shall be in raw materials and finished
            goods;

                  c.    All of the Inventory is and shall remain free from all
            purchase money or other security interests, liens or encumbrances,
            except as held by Bank;

                  d.    Borrower does now keep and hereafter at all times shall
            keep correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the kind,
            type, quality and quantity of the Inventory, its cost therefor and
            selling price thereof, and the daily withdrawals therefrom and
            additions thereto, all of which records shall be available upon
            demand to any of Bank's officers, agents and employees for
            inspection and copying;

                  e.    All Inventory, now and hereafter at all times, shall be
            new Inventory of good and merchantable quality free from material
            defects;

                  f.    Inventory is not now and shall not at any time or times
            hereafter be located or stored with a bailee, warehouseman or other
            third party without Bank's prior written consent, and, in such
            event, Borrower will concurrently therewith cause any such bailee,
            warehouseman or other third party to issue and deliver to Bank,
            warehouse receipts in Bank's name evidencing the storage of
            Inventory and/or an acknowledgment by such bailee of Bank's prior
            rights in the Inventory, in each case in form and substance
            acceptable to Bank. In any event, Borrower shall instruct any third
            party to hold all such Inventory for Bank's account subject to
            Bank's security interests and its instructions; and

                  g.    Bank shall have the right upon demand now and/or at all
            times hereafter, during Borrower's usual business hours, after
            reasonable notice, to inspect and examine the Inventory and to check
            and test the same as to quality, quantity, value and condition and
            Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank for Bank's reasonable costs and
            expenses in so doing.

            6.6   Borrower represents, warrants and covenants with Bank that
      Borrower will not, without Bank's prior written consent:

                  a.    Grant a security interest in or permit a lien, claim or

            long as Borrower is an entity that is not directly subject to
            Federal income taxation and with respect to which any earnings are
            attributable ratably to each Person with an ownership Interest in

            corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the
            laws of the state of its incorporation and qualified and licensed to

      terms and provisions contained in this Agreement shall not result in a

                  a.    Borrower, at its expense, shall keep and maintain its
            assets insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion,
            sprinklers and all other hazards and risks ordinarily insured

            businesses for the full insurable value thereof. Borrower shall also
            keep and maintain business interruption insurance and public
            liability and property damage insurance relating to Borrower's
            ownership and use of the Collateral and its other assets. All such
            policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies,
            and in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Bank. Borrower shall
            deliver to Bank certified copies of such policies of insurance and
            evidence of the payments of all premiums therefor. All such policies
            of insurance (except those of public liability and property damage)
            shall contain an endorsement in a form satisfactory to Bank showing
            Bank as a loss payee thereof, with a waiver of warranties
            satisfactory to BANK, and all proceeds payable thereunder shall be
            payable to Bank and, upon receipt by Bank, shall be applied on
            account of the Indebtedness owing to Bank. To secure the payment of
            the Indebtedness, Borrower grants Bank a security interest in and to
            all such policies of insurance (except those of public liability and
            property damage) and the proceeds thereof, and Borrower shall direct
            all Insurers under such policies of insurance to pay all proceeds
            thereof directly to Bank.

                  b.    Borrower hereby Irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of
            Bank's officers, employees or agents designated by Bank) as
            Borrower's attorney for the purpose of making, selling and adjusting
            claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of
            Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment
            for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all
            determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
            insurance. Borrower will not cancel any of such policies without
            Bank's prior written consent, Each such insurer shall agree by
            endorsement upon the policy or policies of insurance issued by it to
            Borrower as required above, or by independent instruments furnished
            to Bank, that it will give Bank at least ten (10) days written
            notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be
            altered or canceled, and that no act or default of Borrower, or any
            other person, shall affect the right of Bank to recover under such
            policy or policies of Insurance required above or to pay any premium
            in whole or in part relating thereto. Bank, without waiving or
            releasing any Indebtedness or any Event of Default, may, but shall
            have no obligation to do so, obtain and maintain such policies of
            insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with
            respect to such policies which Bank deems advisable. All sums so
            disbursed by Bank, as well as reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
            Bank, whether in- house or outside counsel is used, court costs,
            expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall constitute Bank
            Expenses and are payable on demand.

            6.15  All financial statements and information relating to Borrower
      which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Borrower to Bank are true
      and correct and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
      applied and there has been no material adverse change in the financial
      condition of Borrower since the submission of such financial information
      to Bank.

8.    BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

            8.1   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower under
      this Agreement, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election
      and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are
      authorized by Borrower:

                  a.    Declare Borrower's Indebtedness, whether evidenced by
            this Agreement, installment notes, demand notes or otherwise,
            immediately due and payable to Bank;

                  b.    Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
            benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, or any other agreement
            between Borrower and Bank;

                  c.    Terminate this Agreement as to any future liability or
            obligation of Bank, but without affecting Bank's rights and security
            interests in the Collateral, and the Indebtedness of Borrower to
            Bank;

                  d.    Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any
            guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers
            necessary or reasonable to protect Its security interest in the
            Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so
            requires and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may
            designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
            Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of the
            Collateral and the premises (at no charge to Bank), or any part
            thereof, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
            encumbrance, charge or lien which in the opinion of Bank appears to
            be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all
            expenses incurred in connection therewith;

                  e.    Without limiting Bank's rights under any security
            Interest, Bank is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
            without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of
            use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and
            advertising matter, or any property or a similar nature as it
            pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising
            for sale and selling any Collateral and Borrower's rights under all
            licenses and all franchise agreements shall Inure to Bank's benefit
            and Bank shall have the right and power to enter into sublicense
            agreements with respect to all such rights with third parties on
            terms acceptable to Bank;

                  f.    Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
            prepare for sale, advertise for sales and sell (in the manner
            provided for herein) the inventory;

                  g.    Sell or dispose the Collateral at either a public or
            private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or
            transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such
            places (including Borrower's premises) as is commercially reasonable
            in the opinion of Bank. It is not necessary that the Collateral be
            present at any such sale. At any sale or other disposition of the
            Collateral pursuant to this Section, Bank disclaims all warranties
            which would otherwise be given under the Uniform Commercial Code,
            including without limitation a disclaimer of any warranty relating
            to title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and Bank may
            communicate these disclaimers to a purchaser at such disposition.
            This disclaimer of warranties will not render the sale commercially
            unreasonable:

                  h.    Bank shall give notice of the disposition of the
            Collateral as follows:

                              (1)   Bank shall give Borrower and each holder of
                        a security interest in the Collateral who has filed with
                        Bank a written request for notice, a notice in writing
                        of the time and place of public sale, or, If the sale is
                        a private sale or some disposition other than a public
                        sale is to be made of the Collateral, the time on or
                        after which the private sale or other disposition is to
                        be made;

                              (2)   The notice shall be personally delivered or
                        mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower's address appearing
                        in this Agreement, at least ten (10) calendar days
                        before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10)
                        calendar days before the date on or after which the
                        private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless
                        the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline
                        speedily in value. Notice to persons other than Borrower
                        claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be sent to
                        such addresses as have been furnished to Bank or as
                        otherwise determined in accordance with Section 9611 of
                        the Uniform Commercial Code; and

                              (3)   If the sale is to be a public sale, Bank
                        shall also give notice of the time and place by
                        publishing a notice one time at least ten (10) calendar
                        days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of
                        general circulation in the county in which the sale is
                        to be held; and


                                       11.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

                              (4)   Bank may credit bid and purchase at any
                        public sale.

                  i.    Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses incurred in
            connection with Bank's enforcement and exercise of any of its rights
            and remedies as herein provided, whether or not suit is commenced by
            Bank;

                  j.    Any deficiency which exists after disposition of the
            Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
            Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the
            rights of third parties, to Borrower by Bank, or, in Bank's
            discretion, to any party who Bank believes, in good faith, is
            entitled to the excess;

                  k.    Without constituting a retention of Collateral in
            satisfaction of an obligation within the meaning of 9620 of the
            Uniform Commercial Code or an action under California Code of Civil
            Procedure 726, apply any and all amounts maintained by Borrower as
            deposit accounts (as that term is defined under 9102 of the Uniform
            Commercial Code) or other accounts that Borrower maintains with Bank
            against the Indebtedness;

                  l.    The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
            Collateral authorized by this Agreement shall be applied by Bank
            first upon all expenses authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code
            and all reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses incurred by
            Bank, whether in-house or outside counsel is used, the balance of
            the proceeds of the sale or other disposition shall be applied in
            the payment of the Indebtedness, first to interest, then to
            principal, then to remaining Indebtedness and the surplus, if any,
            shall be paid over to Borrower or to such other person(s) as may be
            entitled to it under applicable law. Borrower shall remain liable
            for any deficiency, which it shall pay to Bank immediately upon
            demand. Borrower agrees that Bank shall be under no obligation to
            accept any noncash proceeds in connection with any sale or
            disposition of Collateral unless failure to do so would be
            commercially unreasonable. If Bank agrees in its sole discretion to
            accept noncash proceeds (unless the failure to do so would be
            commercially unreasonable), Bank may ascribe any commercially
            reasonable value to such proceeds. Without limiting the foregoing,
            Bank may apply any discount factor in, determining the present
            value of proceeds to be received in the future or may elect to apply
            proceeds to be received in the future only as and when such proceeds
            are actually received in cash by Bank; and

                  m.    The following shall be the basis for any finder of
            fact's determination of the value of any Collateral which is the
            subject matter of a disposition giving rise to a calculation of any
            surplus or deficiency under Section 9615(f) of the Uniform
            Commercial Code: (i) The Collateral which is the subject matter of
            the disposition shall be valued in an "as is" condition as of the
            date of the disposition, without any assumption or expectation that
            such Collateral will be repaired or improved in any manner; (ii) the
            valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the transferee of
            such Collateral desires a resale of the Collateral for cash promptly
            (but no later than 30 days) following the disposition; (iii) all
            reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in
            commercial sales transactions relating to property similar to such
            Collateral shall be deducted including, without limitation,
            brokerage commissions, tax prorations, attorney's fees, whether
            in-house or outside counsel is used, and marketing costs; (iv) the
            value of the Collateral which is the subject matter of the
            disposition shall be further discounted to account for any estimated
            holding costs associated with maintaining such Collateral pending
            sale (to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other
            maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert
            opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a
            determination of the value of such Collateral must be given by
            persons having at least 5 years experience in appraising property
            similar to the Collateral and who have conducted and prepared a
            complete written appraisal of such Collateral taking into
            consideration the factors set forth above. The "value" of any such
            Collateral shall be a factor in determining the amount of proceeds
            which would have been realized in a disposition to a transferee
            other than a secured party, a person related to a secured party or a
            secondary obligor under Section 9615(f) of the Uniform Commercial
            Code.

            8.2   In addition to any and all other rights and remedies available
      to Bank under or pursuant to this Agreement or any other documents,
      Instrument or agreement contemplated hereby, Borrower acknowledges and
      agrees that (i) at any time following the occurrence and during the
      continuance of any Event of Default, and/or (ii) termination of Bank's
      commitment or obligation to make loans or advances or otherwise extent
      credit to or in favor of Borrower hereunder, in the event that and to the
      extent that there are any Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at such
      time, upon demand of Bank, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, or cause to be
      delivered to Bank, cash collateral in an amount not less than such Letter
      of Credit Obligations, which cash collateral shall be held and retained by
      Bank as cash collateral for the repayment of such Letter of Credit
      Obligations, together with any and all other Indebtedness of Borrower to
      Bank remaining unpaid, and Borrower pledges to Bank and grants to Bank a
      continuing first priority security interest in such cash collateral so
      delivered to Bank. Alternatively, Borrower shall cause to be delivered to
      Bank an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued in favor of Bank by a
      bank acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion, in an amount not less
      than such Letter of Credit Obligations, and upon terms acceptable to Bank,
      in its sole discretion.

            8.3   Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement and all other
      agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and
      remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided by law or in equity. No
      exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and
      no waiver by Bank of any default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a
      continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election or
      acquiescence by Bank.

9.    TAXES AND EXPENSES REGARDING BORROWER'S PROPERTY. If Borrower fails to pay
promptly when due to another person or entity, monies which Borrower is required
to pay by reason of any provision in this Agreement, Bank may, but need not, pay
the same and charge Borrower's loan account therefor, and Borrower shall
promptly reimburse Bank. All such sums shall become additional Indebtedness
owing to Bank, shall bear interest at the rate hereinabove provided, and shall
be secured by all Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute (i)
an agreement by it to make similar payments in the future, or (ii) a waiver by
Bank of any default under this Agreement. Bank need not inquire as to, or
contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance
or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice of the payment thereof
shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. Such
payments shall constitute Bank Expenses and additional advances to Borrower.

10.   WAIVERS.

            10.1  Borrower agrees that checks and other instruments received by
      Bank in payment or on account of Borrower's Indebtedness constitute only
      conditional payment until such items are actually paid to Bank and
      Borrower waives the right to direct the application of any and all
      payments at any time or times hereafter received by Bank on account of
      Borrower's Indebtedness and Borrower agrees that Bank shall have the
      continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply such payments in any
      manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon
      its books.

            10.2  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of
      default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
      default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement extension
      or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, documents,
      instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on
      which Borrower may in any way be liable.

            10.3  Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible
      for (a) the safekeeping of the Inventory; (b) any joss or damage thereto
      occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
      diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act


                                       12.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

      or default of any carrier, warehouseman, ballee, forwarding agency or
      other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of
      Inventory shall be borne by Borrower.

            10.4  Borrower waives the right and the right to assert a
      confidential relationship, if any, it may have with any accountant,
      accounting firm and/or service bureau or consultant in connection with any
      information requested by Bank pursuant to or in accordance with this
      Agreement, and agrees that a Bank may contact directly any such
      accountants, accounting firm and/or service bureau or consultant in order
      to obtain such Information.

            10.5  Co-Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees as follows:

            a.    Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally,
            directly, and primarily liable to Bank for payment in full of the
            Indebtedness and that such liability is independent of the duties,
            obligations and liabilities of the other Borrower. The Agreement and
            each other document, instrument and agreement entered into by any
            one or more of the Borrowers in connection therewith (collectively,
            hereinafter, the "Loan Documents") are a primary and original
            obligation of each Borrower, are not the creation of a surety
            relationship, and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing
            promise of payment and performance which shall remain in full force
            and effect without respect to future changes in conditions,
            including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with
            respect to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower acknowledges that the
            obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein might be construed to
            consist, at least in part, of the guaranty of obligations of persons
            or entities other than such Borrower (Including any other Borrower
            party hereto) and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower
            consents and agrees that Bank may, at any time and from time to
            time, without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual
            or purported termination, repudiation, or revocation of the
            Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any one or more Borrowers,
            and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness
            hereof as to each Borrower: (a) supplement, restate, modify, amend,
            increase, decrease, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change
            the time for payment or the terms of the Indebtedness or any part
            thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of
            interest thereon; (b) supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase,
            decrease or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, or
            consent with respect to, the Indebtedness or any part thereof, or
            any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties,
            or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation
            or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional
            instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to
            any of the Loan Documents or the Indebtedness or any part thereof;
            (d) accept partial payments on the Indebtedness; (e) receive and
            hold additional security or guaranties for the Indebtedness or any
            part thereof; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail
            to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, or enforce
            any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the
            order or manner of sale thereof as Bank in its sole and absolute
            discretion may determine; (g) release any Person from any personal
            liability with respect to the Indebtedness or any part thereof; (h)
            settle, release on terms satisfactory to Bank or by operation of
            applicable laws, or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Indebtedness
            and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent
            to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or
            (i) consent to the merger, change, or any other restructuring or
            termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any
            Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the
            Indebtedness, and any such merger, change, restructuring, or
            termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the
            continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with
            respect to all or any part of the Indebtedness.

            b.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
            Default, Bank may enforce the Agreement and the other Loan Documents
            independently as to each Borrower and Independently of any other
            remedy or security Bank at any time may have or hold in connection
            with the indebtedness, and it shall not be necessary for Bank to
            marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to
            proceed upon or against or exhaust any security or remedy before
            proceeding to enforce the Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
            Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Bank to marshal
            assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed
            against any other Borrower or any Collateral provided by any Person,
            and agrees that Bank may proceed against Borrowers or any Collateral
            in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute
            discretion.

            c.    Bank may file a separate action or actions against any
            Borrower, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to
            any security or against any other person, or whether any other
            person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees
            that Bank and any Borrower and any affiliate of any Borrower may
            deal with each other in connection with the Indebtedness or
            otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter
            existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without
            in any way altering or affecting the continuing efficacy of the
            Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

            d.    Bank's rights under the Loan Documents shall be reinstated and
            revived, and the enforceability of the Agreement and the other Loan
            Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time
            paid on account of the Indebtedness which thereafter shall be
            required to be restored or returned by Bank, all as though such
            amount had not been paid. The rights of Bank created or granted
            herein and the enforceability of the Agreement and the other Loan
            Documents at all times shall remain effective to cover the full
            amount of all the Indebtedness even though the Indebtedness,
            including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty
            therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise
            unenforceable as against any Borrower and whether or not any other
            Borrower shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.

            e.    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the
            extent that a Borrower is deemed a guarantor, each Borrower
            expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or
            asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any
            other Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness, (b) the
            unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the
            Indebtedness or lack of perfection or continuing perfection or
            failure of priority of any security for the Indebtedness, (c) the
            cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other
            Borrower (other than by reason of the full payment and performance
            of all Indebtedness), (d) any failure of the Bank to marshal assets
            in favor of Bank or any Borrower or any other person, (e) any
            failure of Bank to give notice of sale or other disposition of
            collateral to any Borrower or any other Person or any defect in any
            notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition
            of collateral, (f) any failure of Bank to comply with applicable law
            in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral
            or other security for any Obligation, Including any failure of Bank
            to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of
            any collateral or other security for any Obligation, (g) any act or
            omission of Bank or others that directly or indirectly results in or
            aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or the Indebtedness or
            any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise,
            (h) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or
            guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects
            more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a
            surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal
            obligation, (i) any failure of Bank to file or enforce a claim in
            any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j)
            the election by Bank of the application or non-application of
            Section 1111 (b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any
            extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of
            the United States Bankruptcy Code, (1) any use of cash collateral
            under Section 383 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any
            agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate
            protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the
            avoidance of any lien in favor of Bank for any reason, or (o) any
            action taken by Bank that is authorized by the Agreement or any
            other provision of any Loan Document Until such time as all of the
            Indebtedness have been fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid in full
            in cash: (i) each Borrower hereby waives and postpones any right of
            subrogation it has or may have as against any other Borrower respect
            to the Indebtedness; and (ii) in addition, each Borrower also hereby
            waives and


                                       13.



                                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                        (ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORY)

            postpones any right to proceed or to seek recourse against or with
            respect to any property or asset of any other Borrower. Each
            Borrower expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all
            presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of
            nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
            of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature
            whatsoever with respect to the Indebtedness, and all notices of
            acceptance of the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or of the
            existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Indebtedness.

            f.    In the event that all or any part of the Indebtedness at any
            time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or
            other instruments creating or granting liens on any interests in
            real property, each Borrower authorizes Bank, upon the occurrence of
            and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at its sole
            option, without notice or demand and without affecting the
            obligations of any Borrower, the enforceability of the Agreement and
            the other Loan Documents, or the validity or enforceability of any
            liens of Bank, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or
            mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale.

            g.    Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other
            provision set forth in this Agreement, each Borrower waives all
            rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the
            Indebtedness is secured by real property. This means, among other
            things:

                  (1)   Bank may collect from any Borrower without first
                  foreclosing on any real or personal property pledged as
                  Collateral by any other Borrower to secure the Indebtedness.

                  (2)   If Bank forecloses on any real property pledged as
                  Collateral by any Borrower:

                        (a)   the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the
                        price for which that Collateral is sold at the
                        foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
                        than the sale price.

                        (b)   Bank may collect from any Borrower even if Bank,
                        by foreclosing on the real property pledged as
                        Collateral, has destroyed any right that Borrower may
                        have to collect from any other Borrower.

                  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights
                  and defenses each Borrower may have because the Indebtedness
                  is secured by Real Property. These rights and defenses
                  include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based
                  upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code
                  of Civil Procedure.

            h.    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the
            extent that a Borrower is deemed a guarantor, each Borrower
            expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement
            and the other Loan Documents or any rights of Bank created or
            granted hereby or to the recovery by Bank against any Borrower or
            any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial
            or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure
            or sale may impair the subrogation rights of Borrowers and may
            preclude Borrowers from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from
            other Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
            each Borrower expressly waives any suretyship defenses or benefits
            that it otherwise might or would have under applicable law. WITHOUT
            LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET
            FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
            APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING
            OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY BANK, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF
            REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY
            FOR THE INDEBTEDNESS, HAS DESTROYED SUCH BORROWER'S RIGHTS OF
            SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST THE OTHER BORROWERS BY
            OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SECTION 580d OF THE
            CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR OTHERWISE.

            10.6  THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO
      TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER
      CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY, AFTER
      CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF
      THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT,
      WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE
      PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR
      THE INDEBTEDNESS.

            10.7  In the event that Bank elects to waive any rights or remedies
      hereunder, or compliance with any of the terms hereof, or delays or fails
      to pursue or enforce any term, such waiver, delay or failure to pursue or
      enforce shall only be effective with respect to that single act and shall
      not be construed to affect any subsequent transactions or Bank's right to
      later pursue such rights and remedies.

11.   ONE CONTINUING LOAN TRANSACTION. All loans and advances heretofore, now or
at any time or times hereafter made by Bank to Borrower under this Agreement or
any other agreement between Bank and Borrower, shall constitute one loan secured
by Bank's security interests in the Collateral and by all other security
interests, liens, encumbrances heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter
granted by Borrower to Bank.

Notwithstanding the above, (I) to the extent that any portion of the
Indebtedness is a consumer loan, that portion shall not be secured by any deed
of trust or mortgage on or other security interest in Borrower's principal
dwelling which is not a purchase money security interest as to that portion,
unless expressly provided to the contrary in another place, or (ii) if Borrower
(or any of them) has (have) given or give(s) Bank a deed of trust or mortgage
covering real property, that deed of trust or mortgage shall not secure the loan
and any other Indebtedness of Borrower (or any of them), unless expressly
provided to the contrary in another place.

12.   NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or
demands by either party on the other relating to this Agreement shall be in
writing and sent by regular United States mail, postage prepaid, properly
addressed to Borrower or to Bank at the addresses stated in this Agreement, or
to such other addresses as Borrower or Bank may from time to time specify to the
other in writing. Requests for information made to Borrower by Bank from time to
time hereunder may be made orally or in writing, at Bank's discretion.

13.   AUTHORIZATION TO DISBURSE. Bank is hereby authorized to make loans and
advances hereunder upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone
purporting to be an officer, employee, or representative of Borrower, or at the
discretion of Bank if said loans and advances are necessary to meet any
Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank. Bank shall have no duty to make inquiry or
verify the authority of any such party, and Borrower shall hold Bank harmless
from any damage, claims or liability by reason of Bank's honor of, or failure to
honor, any such instructions.

14.   PAYMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to deduct the full amount of any
interest, fees, costs, or Bank Expenses due under this Agreement and not paid or
collected when due in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof from any
account maintained by Borrower with Bank. Should there be insufficient funds in
any such account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such
deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower; provided, however,
that Bank shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover any such payment.


                                       14.

15.   DESTRUCTION OF BORROWER'S DOCUMENTS. Any documents, schedules, invoices or
other papers delivered to Bank, may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by
Bank six (6) months after they are delivered to or received by Bank, unless
Borrower requests, in writing, the return of the said documents, schedules,
invoices or other papers and makes arrangements, at Borrower's expense, for
their return.

16.   CHOICE OF LAW. The validity of this Agreement, its construction,
interpretation and enforcement, and the rights of the parties hereunder and
concerning the Collateral, shall be determined according to the laws of the
State of California. The parties agree that all actions or proceedings arising
in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated only in the state
and federal courts in California.

17.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      office.

            17.2  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
      respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided,
      however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights
      hereunder without Bank's prior written consent and any prohibited
      assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Bank
      shall release Borrower or any guarantor from their obligations to Bank.
      Bank may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder. Bank
      reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant
      participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Bank's rights and
      benefits hereunder. In connection therewith, Bank may disclose all
      documents and information which Bank now or hereafter may have relating to
      Borrower or Borrower's business.

            17.3  Paragraph headings and paragraph numbers have been set forth
      herein for convenience only; unless the contrary is compelled by the
      context, everything contained in each paragraph applies equally to this
      entire Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires
      otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to
      the singular include the plural, and the term "including" is not limiting.
      The words "hereof", "herein", "hereby", "hereunder", and similar terms in
      this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
      particular provision of this Agreement.

            17.4  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein
      shall be construed or resolved against Bank or Borrower, whether under any
      rule of construction or otherwise; on the contrary, this Agreement has
      been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted
      according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly
      accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

            17.5  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every
      other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
      enforceability of any specific provision.

            17.6  This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. This
      Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto and
      supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations,
      warranties and negotiations, if any, related to the subject matter hereof,
      and none of the parties shall be bound by anything not expressed in
      writing.

            17.7  The parties intend and agree that their respective rights,
      duties, powers, liabilities, obligations and discretions shall be
      performed, carried out, discharged and exercised reasonably and in good
      faith.

            17.8  In addition, if this Agreement is secured by a deed of trust
      or mortgage covering real property, then the trustor or mortgagor shall
      not mortgage or pledge the mortgaged premises as security for any other
      indebtedness or obligations. This Agreement, together with all other
      indebtedness secured by said deed of trust or mortgage, shall become due
      and payable immediately, without notice, at the option of Bank, (a) if
      said trustor or mortgagor shall mortgage or pledge the mortgaged premises
      for any other indebtedness or obligations or shall convey, assign or
      transfer the mortgaged premises by deed, installment sale contract or
      other instrument; (b) if the title to the mortgaged premises shall become
      vested in any other person or party in any manner whatsoever, or (c) if
      there is any disposition (through one or more transactions) of legal or
      beneficial title to a controlling interest of said trustor or mortgagor.

            17.9  Each undersigned Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and
      severally, directly, and primarily liable to Bank for payment and
      performance in full of all duties, obligations and liabilities under this
      Agreement and each other document, instrument and agreement entered into
      by Borrower with or in favor of Bank in connection herewith, and that such
      liability is independent of the duties, obligations and liabilities of any
      other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Indebtedness, as applicable.
      Each reference herein to Borrower shall mean each and every Borrower party
      hereto, individually and collectively, jointly and severally.

releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, omitting, pouring, emptying or dumping of
a Hazardous Substance or any other hazardous waste into the environment where
damage may result to the environment, fish, shellfish, wildlife, biota or other

damage arising from an intentional or unintentional action or omission by Debtor
resulting from the disposal, releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying or dumping of a Hazardous Substance or any other hazardous
waste into the environment; and

            (d)   Any other event or condition exists which might in the
opinion of Bank, under applicable environmental protection statutes, have a
material adverse effect on the financial or operational condition of Debtor or
the value of all or any material part of the collateral or other property of
Debtor.

      In witness whereof, the Debtor has agreed as of the date first set forth

Borrower(s): Akeena Solar, Inc.

      Borrower has entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (Accounts
and Inventory) (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement"), dated January 29, 2007
with Bank (Secured Party). This EQUIPMENT RIDER (hereinafter referred to as this
"Rider") dated January 29, 2007 is hereby made a part of and incorporated into
that Agreement.

1.    Borrower grants to Bank a security interest in the following wherever
located (hereinafter referred to as "Equipment"):

      (a)   all of Borrower's present machinery, equipment, fixtures, vehicles,
            office equipment, furniture, furnishings, tools, dies, jigs and
            attachments, wherever located, (including but not limited to, the
            items listed and described on the Schedule of Equipment attached
            hereto and marked Exhibit "A" and by this reference made a part
            hereof as though fully set forth herein);

      (b)   all of Borrower's additional equipment, wherever located, of like or
            unlike nature, to be acquired hereafter, and all replacements,
            substitutes, accessions, additions and improvements to any of the
            foregoing; and

      (c)   all of Borrower's general intangibles, including without limitation,
            computer programs, computer disks, computer tapes, literature,
            reports, catalogs, drawings, blueprints and other proprietary items.

2.    Bank's security interest in the Equipment as set forth above shall secure
each, any and all of Borrower's Indebtedness to Bank, as the term "Indebtedness"
is defined in the Agreement.

3.    Bank may, in its sole discretion, from time to time hereafter, make loans
to Borrower. Loans made by Bank to Borrower pursuant to this Rider shall be
included as part of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank and at Bank's option,
may be evidenced by promissory note(s), in form satisfactory to Bank. Such loans
shall bear interest at the rate and be payable in the manner specified in said
promissory note(s) in the event Bank exercises the aforementioned option, and in
the event Bank does not, such loans shall bear interest at the rate and be
payable in the manner specified in the Agreement.

4.    Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that:

      (a)   it has good and indefeasible title to the Equipment;

      (b)   The Equipment is and will be free and clear of all liens, security
            interests, encumbrances and claims, except as held by Bank,

      (c)   the Equipment shall be kept only at the following locations: 605
            UNIVERSITY AVE, LOS GATOS, CA 95032

      (d)   the owners or mortgagees of the respective locations are: BLACKSTOCK
            INTERNATIONAL

      (e)   Bank shall have the right upon demand now and/or at all times
            hereafter, during Borrower's usual business hours to inspect and
            examine the Equipment and Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank for its
            reasonable costs and expenses in so doing.

5.    Borrower shall keep and maintain the Equipment in good operating condition
and repair, make all necessary replacements thereto so that the value and
operating efficiency thereof shall at all times be maintained and preserved.
Borrower shall not permit any items of Equipment to become a fixture to real
estate or accession to other property, and the Equipment is now and shall at all
times remain and be personal property.

6.    Borrower, at its expense, shall keep and maintain: the Equipment insured
against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers and all other
hazards and risks ordinarily insured against by other owners who use such
properties and interest in properties in similar businesses for the full
insurable value thereof; and business interruption insurance and public
liability and property damage insurance relating to Borrower's ownership and use
of its assets. All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such
companies and in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Bank. Borrower shall
deliver to Bank certified copies of such policies of insurance and evidence of
the payment of all premiums thereof. All such policies of insurance (except
those of public liability and property damage) shall contain an endorsement in a
form satisfactory to Bank showing loss payable to Bank and all proceeds payable
thereunder shall be payable to Bank and upon receipt by Bank shall be applied on
the account of Borrower's Indebtedness. To secure the payment of Borrower's
indebtedness, Borrower grants Bank a security interest in and to all such
policies of insurance (except those of public liability and property damage) and
the proceeds thereof and directs all insurers under such policies of insurance
to pay all proceeds thereof directly to Bank. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank (and any of Bank's officers, employees or agents designated by
Bank) as Borrower's attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and
adjusting claims under such policies of insurance and for making all
determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance. Each
such insurer shall agree by endorsement upon the policy or policies of insurance
issued by it to Borrower as required above, or by independent instruments
furnished to Bank that it will give Bank at least ten (10) days written notice
before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled,
and that no act or default of Borrower, or any other person, shall affect the
right of Bank to recover under such policy or policies of insurance required
above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. Bank, without
waiving or releasing any obligations or defaults by Borrower hereunder, may at
any time or times hereafter, but shall have no obligation to do so, obtain and
maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other
action with respect to such policies which Bank deems advisable. All sums so
disbursed by Bank, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses
and other charges relating thereto, shall be a part of Borrower's indebtedness
and payable on demand.

7.    Until default by Borrower under the Agreement or this Rider. Borrower may,
subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Rider and consistent
