the Financing Agreement:
2.1.7 BORROWING BASE.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Borrowing Base"
means at any time, an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) eighty five
percent (85%) of the amount of Eligible Receivables, PLUS (b) the
lesser of $1,000,000 or twenty percent (20%) of the amount of Eligible
Inventory, PLUS (c) eighty percent (80%) of the orderly liquidation
value of Equipment; PLUS (d) one hundred percent (100%) of the forced
liquidation value of the Mortgaged Property; PLUS (e) the lesser of
$5,000,000 or twenty-five percent (25%) of the fair market value of the
United States Patents subject to the duly recorded Assignment of
Patents; MINUS (f) $150,000 times the number of the Borrower's fiscal
quarters ending after September 30, 1999 and on or prior to the date of
the computation of the Borrowing Base. The values described in clauses
(c), (d) and (e) (the appraisal required by clause (e) having not yet
been made) shall be determined by appraisals prepared for the Lender
from time to time by appraisers satisfactory to the Lender and shall
include, without limitation, information required by applicable law and
regulation and by the internal policies of the Lenders and shall be
subject to internal review by the Lender. At the time of any sale,
other disposition or addition of Equipment with a fair market of
$100,000 or more that changes the value used in computing clause (c)
above, the Borrower shall so notify the Lender, identify the applicable
Equipment and the orderly liquidation value thereof (which, in the case
of additions, shall be accompanied by an appraisal meeting the
requirements of the preceding sentence). The Lender shall thereupon
adjust the amount applicable under clause (f) above pro rata based on
the changes to Equipment and so notify the Borrower.
The Borrowing Base shall be computed based on the
Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered to, and accepted by, the
Lender in its reasonable discretion. In the event the Borrower shall
fail to furnish a Borrowing
-9-
10
Base Report required by Section 2.1.8 (Borrowing Base Report), or in
the event the Lender reasonably believes that a Borrowing Base Report
is no longer accurate, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute
discretion exercised from time to time and without limiting its other
rights and remedies under this Agreement, continue, suspend the making
of or limit advances under the Revolving Loan. The Borrowing Base shall
be subject to reduction by the amount of any Receivable or any
Inventory which was included in the Borrowing Base but which the Lender
determines, in accordance with this Agreement, fails to meet the
respective criteria applicable from time to time for Eligible
Receivables or Eligible Inventory.
If at any time the total of the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolving Loan and Outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base, a borrowing base deficiency
("Borrowing Base Deficiency") shall exist. Each time a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists, the Borrower, at the sole and absolute discretion of
the Lender exercised from time to time, shall pay the Borrowing Base
Deficiency ON DEMAND to the Lender.
2.1.8 BORROWING BASE REPORT.
The Borrower will furnish to the Lender a report of
the Borrowing Base (each a "Borrowing Base Report"; collectively, the
"Borrowing Base Reports") in the form required from time to time by the
Lender, appropriately completed and duly signed, (x) no less frequently
than MONTHLY (i) as of the last day of October, November and December,
1999 and (ii) as of the last day of each other month during which any
amount shall be outstanding under the Revolving Loans in excess of that
permitted under the aggregate of clauses (c), (d), and (e) of the
definition of "Borrowing Base," and, otherwise, no less frequently than
QUARTERLY, and (y) at the time of requesting an advance under the
Revolving Loans in excess of that permitted under the aggregate of
clauses (c), (d), and (e) of the definition of "Borrowing Base" if no
Borrowing Base Report has been furnished as of the end of the month
preceding the month in which the advance is requested, and (z) at such
other times as may be reasonably requested by the Lender. The Borrowing
Base Report shall contain the amount and payments on the Receivables,
the value of Inventory, other property components included in the
definition of "Borrowing Base" and the calculations of the Borrowing
Base, all in such detail, and accompanied by such supporting and other
information, as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request.
Upon the Lender's reasonable request upon the creation of any
Receivables or at such other intervals as the Lender may reasonably
require, the Borrower will provide the Lender with: (a) confirmatory
assignment schedules; (b) copies of Account Debtor invoices; (c)
evidence of shipment or delivery; and (d) such further schedules,
documents and/or information regarding any of the Receivables and the
Inventory as the Lender may reasonably require. The items to be
provided under this subsection shall be in form satisfactory to the
Lender, certified as true and correct by a Responsible Officer (or by
any other officers or employees of the Borrower whom a Responsible
Officer from time to time authorizes in writing to do so), and
-10-
11
delivered to the Lender from time to time solely for the Lender's
convenience in maintaining records of the Collateral. The failure of
the Borrower to deliver any such items to the Lender shall not affect,
terminate, modify, or otherwise limit the Liens of the Lender on the
Collateral.
2.1.9 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS OF REVOLVING LOAN.
The Borrower shall make the mandatory prepayments
(each a "Revolving Loan Mandatory Prepayment" and collectively, the
"Revolving Loan Mandatory Prepayments") of the Revolving Loan at any
time and from time to time in such amounts requested by the Lender
pursuant to Section 2.1.7 (Borrowing Base) of this Agreement in order
to cover any Borrowing Base Deficiency.
9. Section 2.2.1 of the Financing Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety, and the following is substituted in its place:
Subject to and upon the provisions of this Agreement,
and as a part of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower may,
upon the prior approval of the Lender, obtain standby letters of credit
(as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified, each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively the
"Letters of Credit") from the Lender from time to time from the Closing
Date until the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination
Date. The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain a Letter of Credit
hereunder unless (a) after giving effect to the request, the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan and of the Letter
of Credit Obligations would not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving
Credit Committed Amount, or (ii) the most current Borrowing Base and
(b) the sum of the aggregate face amount of the then outstanding
Letters of Credit (including the face amount of the requested Letter of
Credit) does not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
10. Section 2.2.2 of the Financing Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety, and the following is substituted in its place:
2.2.2 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. At the opening of each
Letter of Credit, there shall be due from the Borrower to the Lender, a
letter of credit fee (each a "Letter of Credit Fee" and collectively
the "Letter of Credit Fees") in an amount equal to 200 basis points per
annum of the amount of the Letter of Credit, based on a term beginning
with the date of issuance and ending on the expiration date of the
Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid quarterly,
in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September and
December. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender any and all
additional issuance, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to
the extent and as and when required by the provisions of any Letter of
Credit Agreement, which shall be no greater than the fees therefor
customarily charged by the Lender; such additional fees are included in
and a part of the "Fees" payable by the Borrower under the provisions
of this Agreement.

commencing on the first such date after the date of this Agreement, and

To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, each
Account, all Inventory and all other property components included in
the calculation of the Borrowing Base meet and comply with all of the
standards for Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory and such other
components. With respect to those Accounts which the Lender has deemed
Eligible Receivables to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, (a) there
are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way impair the
validity, collectibility or enforceability thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder; and (b) there are no proceedings or
actions known to the Borrower which are threatened or pending against
