2. THE REVOLVING LOAN.
2.1. ADVANCES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall
lend to Borrower on its request, a sum ("Borrowing Capacity") equal to the
lesser of:
(a) One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($1,500,000.00), or (b) up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the net face amount
of Borrower's Eligible Receivables.
Within the limits of the Borrowing Capacity, and subject to
the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow Advances.
2.2. OVERLINE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has advised
Borrower that Lender does not intend to permit Borrower to incur Obligations at
any time in an outstanding principal amount exceeding the Maximum Facility;
however, it is agreed that should the Obligations of Borrower to Lender incurred
under the Loans or otherwise exceed that figure or any other limitation herein
set forth, including without limitation, the Borrowing Capacity, all such
Obligations shall (a) constitute Obligations under this Agreement, (b) be
entitled to the benefit of all security and protection under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, (c) be secured by the Collateral and (d) be payable
immediately without notice or demand by Lender.
2.3. RESERVES. The Borrowing Capacity shall be subject to such
reserves as Lender shall deem necessary and proper in Lender's sole and absolute
discretion. Reserves may be established by Lender from time to time in such
manner (including reduction of the advance rates set forth in Section 2.1(b)
above) and for such reasons as Lender may determine from time to time in
Lender's sole and absolute discretion. Payments, deposits, guaranties or
indemnifications made by Lender under any reimbursement agreement, guaranty or
similar instrument made in respect of any such instrument may be treated by
Lender as Advances to Borrower hereunder. Without limiting Lender's right to
establish reserves as herein above provided, the amount of Eligible Receivables
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the lesser of the
otherwise Eligible Receivables or unearned revenue on maintenance contracts
billed by Borrower on a semi-annual or annual basis, plus (ii) the lesser of the
otherwise Eligible Receivables or fifty percent (50%) of the unearned revenue on
maintenance contracts billed by Borrower on a quarterly basis (the "Maintenance
Contract Reserve Amount"), provided, however, that from the date of this
Agreement through and including December 31, 2002, the Maintenance Contract
Reserve Amount shall be zero dollars ($0.00).
2.4. MANNER OF BORROWING. Each Advance shall be requested in
an Authenticated Record sent via facsimile or electronic transmission,
including, without limitation, via e-mail by a Notice of Borrowing executed by
an authorized officer of Borrower, not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on any
Banking Day on which a Revolving Loan is requested. Provided that Borrower shall
have satisfied all conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, including
the reaffirmation of the representations and warranties and covenants as
required under Section 10 hereof, and Borrower shall have sufficient Borrowing
Capacity to permit an Advance
-8-
hereunder in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, Lender shall make the Advance
to Borrower in the amount requested in the Record by Borrower in immediately
available funds for credit to any account of Borrower (other than a payroll
account) at a bank in the United States of America as Borrower may specify
(provided, however, that Borrower shall pay Lender its usual and customary fees
for such transfer). Lender shall not be responsible for any failure of any
amount so transferred to be credited to any such account, unless such failure is
due to Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
2.5. EVIDENCE OF BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. Borrower's obligation
to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Advances made to Borrower shall be
evidenced by the Revolving Note executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender.

shall either be charged by Lender to Borrower's account, charged as an Advance
or made by Borrower to Lender in U.S. currency and without any defense, offset
or counterclaim of any kind, at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X-000, Xxx, Xxx
Xxxx 00000, or to such other address as Lender shall specify, by 12:00 noon New
York, New York time on the date when due. Whenever any payment to be made shall
otherwise be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time shall be included
in computing interest in connection with any such payment. Lender may make an
Advance to reimburse itself for any payments on the Obligations (including fees
and expenses payable by Borrower), which are not paid when due, without notice
or demand to Borrower.

U.S.C. Sections 80(a)(1), et seq.). The making of the Loans hereunder by Lender,
the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof by Borrower and the

contemplated hereunder. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or
indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for
the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally

could reasonably be excepted to have a Material Adverse Effect. No assessments
have been made against Borrower or any guarantor(s), if any, by any taxing

threatened against Borrower or any guarantor, if any, at law, in equity or

benefits under any Plan (calculated on the basis of the actuarial evaluation for
the Plan) did not exceed as of the date of the most recent actuarial evaluation
for such Plan the fair market value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such
benefits. Borrower is not aware of any information since the date of such
evaluation which would affect the information contained therein. Such Plan has
not incurred an accumulating funding deficiency, as that term is defined in
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (whether or not waived), no
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than required

reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.26. NO OTHER VIOLATIONS. Borrower is not in violation of any
term of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws and no event or condition

instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its Property
may be affected, or (b) the imposition of any lien on any Property of Borrower.
5.27. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower
