MASTER LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Master Loan and Security Agreement No. S 7030, dated December 23, 1998
FINOVA Technology Finance, Inc. ("we," "us" or "FINOVA") is willing to
make a loan (the "Loan") to ENDOREX CORPORATION ("you" or "Borrower")
under the terms and conditions contained in this Master Loan and Security
Agreement (this "Master Agreement"). The Loan will be secured by the
Collateral described in any schedule to this Agreement (a "Schedule"). The
Collateral also includes any replacement parts, additions and accessories
that you may add to the Collateral, as well as any proceeds of sale, lease or
rental of the Collateral. We may treat any Schedule as a separate loan and
security agreement containing all of the provisions of this Loan and Security
Agreement.
1. THE CREDIT
We may make the Loan in more than one advance (an "Advance", each of which
shall be evidenced by a "Schedule"). All of the Schedules, taken together,
will make up the Loan. We will only make the Loan to you if all the
conditions in this Master Agreement have been met to our satisfaction. We
will rely on your representations and warranties, contained in this Master
Agreement, in making the Loan. The terms of this Agreement will each apply to
the Loan.
- USE OF PROCEEDS. You will use the proceeds of the Loan to pay for the
Collateral. We may pay the Supplier (whom you have chosen) of the Collateral
directly from the Loan proceeds. The Supplier will deliver the Collateral to
you at your expense. You will properly install the Collateral at your expense
at the location(s) indicated in the Schedule. If you have already paid for
the Collateral, we will pay the Loan proceeds to you or to another person
that you may designate in writing.
- NOTES. Your obligation to repay the Loan and to pay interest on the Loan
will be evidenced by Notes. Each Note will be dated the date of the Schedule
to which the Advance evidenced by the Note is related.
- TERM. The Term of each Schedule (and the related Advance) begins upon the
date that we make payment for the Collateral covered under each Schedule (the
"Closing Date"). The Term continues until you fully perform all of your
obligations under this Agreement and each Schedule and the related Note(s).
If the Collateral is not delivered, installed and accepted by you by the date
indicated in the Schedule, we may terminate this Agreement and the Schedule
as to the Collateral that was not delivered, installed and accepted by giving
you 10 days written notice of termination.
- LOAN ACCOUNT. We will keep a loan account on our books and records (which
are computerized) for the Loan. We will record all payments of principal and
interest in the loan account. Unless the entries in the loan account are
clearly in error, the loan account will definitively indicate the outstanding
principal balance and accrued interest on the Loan. We may send you loan
account
statements from time to time or upon your request.
- PAYMENTS. The scheduled loan payments (the "Payments") are indicated on the
Schedule. The Payments are payable periodically as specified on the Schedule
from time to time (for example, monthly). The Schedule also indicates whether
the Payments are payable "in advance" or "in arrears." You agree that you owe
us the total of all of these Payments over the Term of the Schedule.
- FIRST PAYMENT. The first Payment is due at the beginning of the Term or at a
later date that we agree to in writing. Subsequent Payments are due on the
thirtieth day of each successive period (except the next following period if
Payments are payable in arrears) until you pay us in full all of the Payments
and any other charges or expenses you owe us.
- INTEREST. Prior to maturity of a Schedule, you will pay us interest on each
Schedule at the Interest Rate indicated in the Schedule. "Maturity" means the
scheduled maturity or any earlier date on which we accelerate the Loan. The
Payment amount indicated in the Schedule includes interest at this Interest
Rate. Interest is calculated in advance using a year of 360 days with twelve
months of 30 days.
- DEFAULT INTEREST RATE. After Maturity of the Loan you will pay us interest at
a rate of four (4%) percent per year above the Interest Rate. This is
referred to as the "Default Rate."
- INTERIM PAYMENT. If an Advance is made on a day other than the thirtieth or
thirty-first day of a period, you will also pay us an interim Payment on the
first Payment date. The interim Payment will be for the period from the
beginning of the Term until the twenty-ninth day of the period in which the
Advance is made, unless the Advance is made on the thirty-first day of a
period. If the Advance is made on the thirty-first day of a period, the
interim Payment will be for the period from the beginning of the Term through
and including the twenty-ninth day of the next following period. The Interim
Payment will be calculated the same way as the regular Payments but pro rata
on a daily basis for the number of days for which the interim Payment is due.
- USURY. You and we intend to obey the law. If the Interest Rate charged would
exceed the maximum legal rate, you will only have to pay the maximum legal
rate. You do not have to pay any excess interest over and above the maximum
legal rate of interest. However, if it later becomes legal for you to pay all
or part of any excess interest, you will then pay it to us upon our request.
- PAYMENT DETAILS. You will make all payments due under this Master Agreement
by 12:00 P.M., Central Standard time, on the day they are due. You will make
all payments in US Dollars (US$) in immediately available funds. We do not
have to make or give "presentment, demand, protest or notice" to get paid.
You waive "presentment, demand, protest and notice."
- APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each payment under this Master Agreement is to be
applied in the following order: first, to any fees, costs, expenses and
charges you may owe us; second, to any interest due; and third to the
principal balance.
- PREPAYMENT. You may not prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, unless this is
specifically permitted by Exhibit A to this Agreement. If prepayment is
permitted by Exhibit A to this Master Agreement, you will give us at least 30
days advance written notice of prepayment. You will pay us the prepayment
premium indicated in the Schedule(s). You also will pay us all accrued and
unpaid interest through the date of prepayment, as well as all outstanding
fees, costs, expenses and charges then due.
-2-
Of course, you will also pay the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Loan. Once you give us a notice of prepayment, that notice is final and
irrevocable. If we accelerate the Loan following an Event of Default, you
will also owe us a prepayment premium calculated as if the Loan were prepaid
on the date of acceleration. If no prepayment is permitted, the premium due
upon acceleration will be five (5%) percent of the outstanding principal
balance.
- YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY US ALL PAYMENTS IS ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. YOU ARE
NOT EXCUSED FROM MAKING THE PAYMENTS, IN FULL, FOR ANY REASON. YOU AGREE THAT
YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE FOR FAILURE TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE
ANY COUNTERCLAIMS OR SETOFFS TO AVOID MAKING THE PAYMENTS.
2. SECURITY INTEREST
- You grant us a security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral secures
the full and timely payment and performance of all of your obligations to us
and to FINOVA Capital Corporation under this Master Agreement and any other
agreement, loan or lease that you may have with us or FINOVA Capital
Corporation (the "Obligations"). You also grant us a security interest in
any additional collateral identified in any Schedule. Any additional
collateral is considered to be "Collateral" and it secures all of the
Obligations.
- If we request, you will put labels supplied by us stating "PROPERTY SUBJECT
TO A SECURITY INTEREST HELD BY FINOVA" on the Collateral where they are
clearly visible.
- You give us permission to add to this Master Agreement or any Schedule the
serial numbers and other information about the Collateral.
- You give us permission to file this Master Agreement or a Uniform Commercial
Code financing statement, at your expense, in order to perfect our security
interest in the Collateral. You also give us permission to sign your name on
the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements where this is permitted by
law.
- You will pay our cost to do searches for other filings or judgments against
you or your affiliates. You will also pay any filing, recording or stamp fees
or taxes resulting from filing this Agreement or a Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement. You will also pay our fees in effect from time to time
for documentation, administration and Termination of this Master Agreement.
- At your expense, you will defend our first priority security interest in the
Collateral against, and keep the Collateral free of, any legal process,
liens, other security interests, attachments, levies and executions. You will
give us immediate written notice of any legal process, liens, attachments,
levies and executions, and you will indemnify us against any loss that
results to us from these causes.
- You will notify us at least 15 days before you change the address of your
principal executive office.
- You will promptly sign and return additional documents that we may reasonably
request in order to protect our first priority security interest in the
Collateral.
- We and you intend that, to the extent permitted by law, the Collateral is and
will remain personal property. You will not incorporate it into real estate
and will not do anything that will cause the Collateral to become part of
real estate or a fixture unless the Collateral is of the type, such as ducts
and wiring, that is normally treated as part of the building.
3. CONDITIONS OF LENDING
- See our Commitment Letter to you dated December 14, 1998, which you and we
consider to be a part of this Master Agreement. The terms and conditions of
the Commitment Letter continue following the making of the first Advance.
However, if there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this
Master Agreement, any Schedule or any Note and the terms and conditions of
the Commitment Letter, then you and we agree that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Schedules and the Notes control over the Commitment
Letter terms and conditions.
- Before we disburse any proceeds of any Advance, we also require the following:
- That no payment is past due to us under any other agreement, loan or lease
that you or any guarantor have with us or with FINOVA Capital Corporation.
- That you are complying with all material terms of this Agreement.
- That we have received all the documents we requested; including the signed
Schedule, Note and Delivery and Acceptance Certificate.

financial condition that you disclosed to us in your application for credit.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

- All financial information and other information that you or any guarantor
have given us is true and complete. You or any guarantor have not failed to

the financial condition that you disclosed to us in your application for
credit.
- You have supplied us with information about the Collateral for the initial
Schedules and will supply information to us about the Collateral for the
future Schedules. You promise to us that the amount of our Advance as to each
item of Collateral is no more than the fair and usual price for this kind of
Collateral, taking into account any discounts, rebates and allowances that
you or any affiliate of yours may have been given for the Collateral.
- You have complied with all applicable "environmental laws" and will
continue to comply with all "environmental laws the noncompliance with
which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect your
operations or financial condition." No "hazardous substances" are used,
generated, treated, stored or disposed of by you or at your properties except
in compliance with all environmental laws, "Environmental laws" mean all
federal, state or local environmental laws and regulations, including the
following laws: CERCLA, RCRA, Hazardous Materials Transport Act and The
Federal Water Pollution Control Act. "Hazardous substances" means all

5. COVENANTS
You agree to do the following things (or not to do the following things if so
stated) until full payment of all amounts due to us under this Agreement, the
Schedules and the Notes:
CARE, USE, LOCATION AND ALTERATION OF THE COLLATERAL
- You will make sure that the Collateral is maintained in good operating
condition, and that it is serviced, repaired and overhauled when this is
necessary to keep the Collateral in good operating condition. All maintenance
must be done according to the Supplier's or Manufacturer's requirements or
recommendations. All maintenance must also comply with any legal or
regulatory requirements.
- If applicable you will maintain service logs for the Collateral and permit
us to inspect the Collateral, any service logs and service reports. You give
us permission to make copies of any service logs and service reports.
- We will give you prior notice if we, or our agent, want to inspect the
Collateral or any service logs or service reports. We may inspect it during
regular business hours. You will pay our documented and reasonable under the
circumstances, travel, meals and lodging costs to inspect the Collateral, but
only for one inspection per year. If we find during an inspection that you
are not complying with this Master Agreement, you will pay our documented and
reasonable under the circumstances, travel, meals and lodging costs. You will
also pay our salary costs and the costs and fees of our agents for
reinspection. You will promptly cure any problems with the Collateral that
are discovered during our inspection.
- FINOVA and its representatives will abide by Endorex's visitor rules when
visiting Endorex's premises and FINOVA will cause its representatives
visiting Endorex to execute a Confidentiality Agreement on reasonable terms.
- You will use the Collateral only for business purposes. You will obey all
legal and regulatory requirements in your material use of the Collateral.
- You will make all additions, modifications and improvements to the
Collateral that are required by law or government regulation. Otherwise, you
will not alter the Collateral without our written permission. You will
replace all worn, lost, stolen or destroyed parts of the Collateral with
replacement parts that are as good or better than the original parts. The
new parts will become subject to our security interest upon replacement.
You will not remove the Collateral from the location indicated in the
Schedule without our written permission.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT
- You shall take all action necessary including but not limited to due
inquiry and due diligence with critical business partners to assure that
there will be no material adverse change to your business by reason of the
advent of the year 2000, including without limitation that all computer-based
systems, embedded microchips and other processing capabilities effectively
recognize and process dates after April 1, 1999. At our request, you shall
provide to us assurance reasonably acceptable to us that your computer-based
systems, embedded microchips and other processing capabilities are year 2000
compatible. SEC disclosure format will be acceptable to this purpose.
-5-
RISK OF LOSS
- You have the complete risk of loss or damage to the Collateral. Loss or
damage to the Collateral will not relieve you of your obligation to make the
Payments.
- If any Collateral is lost or damaged, you have two choices (although if you
are in material default under this Master Agreement and do not cure the
default within any applicable cure period, we and not you will have the two
choices). The choices are;
(1) Repair or replace the damaged or lost Collateral so that, once again, the
Collateral is in good operating condition and we have a perfected first
priority security interest in it.
(2) Pay us the present value (as of the date of payment) of the remaining
Payments. We will calculate the present value using a discount rate of five
(5%) percent per year. Once you have paid us this amount and any other
amount that you may owe us, we will release our security interest in the
damaged or lost Collateral and you (or your insurer) may keep the Collateral
for salvage purposes, on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis.
INSURANCE
- Until you have made all Payments to us under this Master Agreement, the
Schedules and the Notes, you will keep the Collateral insured. The amount of
insurance, the coverage, and the insurance company must be acceptable to us
as stated in the insurance letter dated December 22, 1998.
- If you do not provide us with written evidence of insurance that is
acceptable to us, we may buy the insurance ourselves, at your expense. You
will promptly pay us the cost of this insurance. We have no obligation to
purchase any insurance. Any insurance that we purchase will be our insurance,
and not yours.
- Insurance proceeds may be used to repair or replace damaged or lost
Collateral or to pay us the present value of the Payments, as provided above.
- You appoint us as your "attorney-in-fact" to make claims under the insurance
policies, to receive payments under the insurance policies, and to endorse
your name on all documents, checks or drafts relating to insurance claims for
Collateral.
TAXES
- You will pay all sales, use, excise, stamp, documentary and ad valorum
taxes, license, recording and registration fees, assessments, fines,
penalties and similar charges imposed on the ownership, possession, use,
lease or rental of the equipment or on the Loan.
- You will pay all taxes (other than our net income taxes) imposed on you or
on us regarding the Payments.
- You will reimburse us for any of these taxes that we pay or advance.
- You will file and pay for any personal property taxes on the Collateral.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- During the Term you will promptly give copies of any filings you make with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You and any guarantor will also
provide us with the following financial statements:
- Quarterly balance sheet and statements of earnings and cash flow within 45
days after the end of your first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year.
These will be certified by the chief financial officer. You will also deliver
to us, together with your quarterly financial statements, a certificate
executed by your chief financial officer, to the effect
-6-
that since the date of the previous certificate delivered to us, there
has been no default under this Master Agreement or, if the same cannot
be so certified, the reasons surrounding the same.
o Annual balance sheet and statements of earnings and cash flow - within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year. These will be audited by
independent auditors acceptable to FINOVA. Their audit report must be
unqualified. PriceWaterhouseCoopers or another "Big Five" nationally
recognized firm is acceptable.
These financial statements will be prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied.
All financial statements and SEC filings that you or any guarantor provide us
will be true and complete. They will not fail to tell us anything that would
make them misleading.
6. DEFAULTS
You are in default if any of the following happens:
o You do not pay us, when it is due and following notice from us, any
Payment or other payment that you owe us under this Master Agreement,
any Schedule, Note or that you owe under any other agreement, loan or
lease that you have with us or with FINOVA Capital Corporation.
o Any of the financial information that you give us is not true and
complete, or you fail to tell us anything that would make the financial
information misleading.
o You do something you are not permitted to do, or you fail to do anything
that is required of you, under this Master Agreement, any Schedule or any
other lease, loan or other financial arrangement that you have with us
and you do not cure this within 30 days of our notice to you.
o An event of default occurs for any other lease, loan or obligation of
yours (or any guarantor) that exceeds $50,000.
o You or any guarantor file bankruptcy, or involuntary bankruptcy is filed
against you or any guarantor and not dismissed within 90 days.
o You or any guarantor are subject to any other insolvency proceeding
other than bankruptcy (for example, a receivership action or an
assignment for the benefit of creditors) and is not cured within 60 days.
o Without our prior written consent, you enter into a merger,
consolidation or division, effect a share exchange of your outstanding
stock for the stock of another corporation, make a tender offer for
equity securities of a publicly held entity, or sell or otherwise
dispose of all or a major part of your assets or of assets that produce
all or a major part of your revenues or profits; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
without violating the provisions of this clause, you may consolidate
with or merge with a corporation or other entity organized under the
laws of one of the states of the United States (the surviving entity, a
"successor"), or sell (except by means of a sale and leaseback
arrangement) all or substantially all of your business and assets to such
a successor, on the conditions that any successor expressly assume in
writing all of your obligations pursuant to this Lease, and that the net
tangible assets and the net worth (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) of the successor after the
consolidation, merger or sale shall be at least equal to your net
tangible assets and the net worth immediately prior to the
consolidation, merger or sale.
o There is a material adverse change in your financial condition, business,
operations or prospects, or that of any guarantor, from the condition
that you disclosed to us in your application for credit.
-7-
REMEDIES, DEFAULT INTEREST, LATE FEES
If you are in default we may exercise one or more of our "remedies." Each of
our remedies is independent. We may exercise any of our remedies, all of our
remedies or none of our remedies. We may exercise them in any order we
choose. Our exercise of any remedy will not prevent us from exercising any
other remedy or be an "election of remedies." If we do not exercise a remedy,
or if we delay in exercising a remedy, this does not mean that we are
forgiving your default or that we are giving up our right to exercise the
remedy. Our remedies allow us to do one or more of the following:
o "Accelerate" the Loan balance under any or all Notes. This means that we
may require you to immediately pay us all Payments for the entire Term
for any or all Schedules.
o Require you to immediately pay us all amounts that you are required to
pay us for the entire Term of any other agreements, loans or leases
that you have with us.
o Xxx you for all Payments and other amounts you owe us plus the
Prepayment Premium (see Section 1 above).
o Require you at your expense to assemble the Collateral at a location we
request in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana or Illinois.
o Remove and repossess the Collateral from where it is located, without
demand or notice, or make the Collateral inoperable. We have your
permission to remove any physical obstructions to removal of the
Collateral. We may also disconnect and separate all Collateral from
other property. No court order, court hearing or "legal process" will be
required for us to repossess the Collateral. You will not be entitled to
any damages resulting from removal or repossession of the Collateral. We
may use, ship, store, repair or lease any Collateral that we repossess.
We may sell any repossessed Collateral at private or public sale. You
give us permission to show the Collateral to buyers at your location
free of charge during normal business hours. If we do this, we do not
have to remove the Collateral from your location. If we repossess the
Collateral and sell it, we will give you credit for the net sale price,
after subtracting our costs of repossessing and selling the Collateral.
If we rent the Collateral to somebody else, we will give you credit for
the net rent received, after subtracting our costs of repossessing and
renting the Collateral, but the credit will be discounted to present
value using a discount rate equal to the Default Rate. The credit will
be applied against what you owe us under this Master Agreement, the
Schedules, the Notes and any other agreements, loans or leases that you
have with us. If the credit exceeds the amount you owe under this Master
Agreement, the Schedule, the Notes and any other agreements, loans or
leases that you have with us, we will refund the amount of the excess to
you.
o Return conditions: Following an Event of Default, at our request you
will return the Collateral, freight and insurance prepaid by you, to us
at a location we request in the Wisconsin, Indiana or Illinois. It will
be returned in good operating condition, as required by Section 5 above.
The Collateral will not be subject to any liens when it is returned.
o You will pack or crate the Collateral for shipping in the original
containers, or comparable ones. You will do this carefully and follow
all recommendations of the Supplier and the Manufacturer as to packing
or crating.
o You will also return to us the plans, specifications, operating manuals,
software documentation, discs, warranties and other documents furnished
by the Manufacturer or Supplier. You will also return to us all service
logs and service reports, as well as all written materials that you may
have
-8-
concerning the maintenance and operation of the Collateral.
o At our request, you will provide us with up to 60 days free storage of the
Collateral at your location providing that you have the capability without
incurring additional out-of-pocket costs, and will let us (or our agent) have
access to the Collateral in order to inspect it and sell it.
o You will pay us our reasonable and documented costs to repair the Collateral
if you do not return it in the required condition.
You will also pay us for the following:
o All our expenses of enforcing our remedies. This includes all our expenses
to repossess, store, ship, repair and sell the Collateral.
o Our reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
o Default interest on everything you owe us from the date of your default to
the date on which we are paid in full at the Default Rate.
You realize that the damages we could suffer as a result of your default are
very uncertain. This is why we have agreed with you in advance on the Default
Rate to be used in calculating the payments you will owe us if you default.
You agree that, for these reasons, the payments you will owe us if you
default are "agreed" or "liquidated" damages. You understand that these
payments are not "penalties" or "forfeitures."
LATE FEES. You will pay us a late fee whenever you pay any amount that you
owe us more than ten (10) days after it is due. You will pay the late fee
within one month after the late Payment was originally due. The late fee will
be ten (10%) percent of the late Payment. If this exceeds the highest legal
amount we can charge you, you will only be required to pay the highest legal
amount. The late fee is intended to reimburse us for our collection costs
that are caused by late Payment. It is charged in addition to all other
amounts you are required to pay us, including Default Interest.
7. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES
PERFORMING YOUR OBLIGATIONS IF YOU DO NOT
If you do not perform one or more of your obligations under this Master
Agreement or a Schedule or Note, we may perform it for you. We will notify
you in writing at least ten (10) days before we do this. We do not have to
perform any of your obligations for you. If we do choose to perform them, you
will pay us all of our expenses to perform the obligations. You will also
reimburse us for any money that we advance to perform your obligations,
together with interest at the Default Rate on that amount. These will be
additional "Payments" that you will [ILLEGIBLE] and you will pay them
at the same time that your next Payment is due.
o You will indemnify us, defend us and hold us harmless for any and all
claims, expenses and attorney's fees concerning or arising from the
Collateral, this Agreement, or any Schedule or Note, or your breach of any
representation or warranty with the exception of negligence or malfeasance by
us or our representatives or agents. It includes any claims concerning the
manufacture, selection, delivery, possession, use, operation or return of the
Collateral.
o This obligation of yours to indemnify us continues even after the Term is
over.

DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR GOODWILL.
If the Collateral is unsatisfactory, you will continue to pay us all Payments
and other amounts you are required to pay us. You must seek repair or
replacement of the equipment from the Manufacturer or Supplier (or arrange
yourself with a competent independent maintenance service or supplier) and
not from us. Neither the Manufacturer nor the Supplier is our "agent," so
