RECITALS
A. The Borrowers are indebted to the Bank under a Third
Consolidated, Amended and Restated Revolving and Acquisition Line of Credit
Promissory Note dated October 1, 1998 in the face amount of $21,072,860.62 (the
"Note").
B. The Note evidences a Line of Credit (as defined below) and
an Acquisition Line of Credit (as defined below) (which is treated on the Bank's
books as a term loan).
C. As of October 25, 1999, there was due on the Line of Credit
$4,424,000.00 in principal and $11,917.79 in interest.
D. As of October 25, 1999, the Acquisition Line of Credit
consisted of the term loan in the original amount of $4,949,999.98. As of
October 25, 1999, there was due on this term loan principal of $3,849,999.94 and
interest of $10,493.21.
E. Payment of the Note is secured by a security interest in
the personal property collateral described in an Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement dated February 22, 1999 and effective as of February 1, 1999,
as amended by a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated May 13, 1999.
F. PAC is a holding company which conducts business through
its Subsidiaries (as hereafter defined).
G. Because of the ownership relation and the other
relationships described hereafter, PAC and all Subsidiaries have requested the
Bank to continue to provide credit upon the terms and conditions stated herein.
H. PAC is the sole or controlling, direct or indirect, owner
of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of
all of the Subsidiaries. Each Borrower is a separate legal entity, however, and
in addition to the ownership affiliation, each Borrower will be actively engaged
in interwoven and ongoing business and financial relationships with PAC and the
other Subsidiaries in the conduct of their respective but related businesses.
These relationships include: (a) centralized accounting, data processing,
payroll and other administrative services; (b) the sharing of common
administrative (e.g., legal, accounting, etc.) services; (c) common management
and the utilization of personnel for common services such as purchasing and
administrative services; (d) the purchase and exchange of goods and services
among the Borrowers; (e) the providing by PAC of substantial financial support
to its Subsidiaries through loans; (f) the filing of consolidated federal tax
returns by PAC and a substantial number of the Subsidiaries; and (g) other
contemplated business accommodations by and between the Borrowers. Because of
the affiliation and inter-relationship of the Borrowers, in law and in fact, and
because of the economic dependence of one on the other, and further because each
Borrower is joining in the execution hereof for the purpose of inducing the Bank
to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower promises to pay all Obligations (as
hereafter defined) regardless of which Borrower requested and/or received,
directly or indirectly, the proceeds or benefit of any Loan (as hereafter
defined). For purposes of this Agreement, each Borrower joins as a co-maker, and
the liability of each co-maker shall be joint and several for the repayment of
all Loans, interest thereon and all other Obligations, and the performance of
all terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. The Loans may be made to
one Borrower for the use and benefit of one or more other Borrowers, and each
Borrower may act as and be the agent of each
-2-
other Borrower; the Collateral of each Borrower shall be Collateral for all
Obligations arising hereunder, regardless of which Borrower incurred the
Obligations; notice to PAC or any other Borrower shall constitute notice to all
Borrowers; a request for a Loan by PAC for its use or for the use of another
Borrower shall be valid and binding on all Borrowers. Each Subsidiary
designates, constitutes and appoints PAC as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
to act for it and on its behalf under this Agreement in all respects, and any
action taken by PAC with respect to any Subsidiary shall be binding on both. No
action now or hereafter taken by the Bank for administrative purposes or
otherwise, including, without limitation, recording this transaction on its
books and records in the name of PAC, administering the Loans through one
deposit account, collateral account or other account or accounts, notifying or
dealing with one Borrower to the exclusion of any other shall be, or shall be
deemed to be, a waiver or relinquishment of any right, power or remedy with
respect to all Borrowers nor a release of any Borrower from strict performance
and unconditional liability under this Agreement.
I. The Borrowers acknowledge that they have benefited from the
making of the Loans.
J. The Borrowers have advised the Bank that they anticipate
consummating (with the Bank's consent) the following transactions:

remedies of the Bank upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by the Borrower.
The contrary notwithstanding, the authorization contained in this Section shall
impose no duty or obligation on the Bank to perform any action or make any
Advance on behalf of the Borrower and is for the sole benefit and protection of
the Bank.

exemption, stay of execution, or supplementary proceedings, or other relief from
the enforcement or immediate enforcement of a judgment or related proceedings on
a judgment. The authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against any
Borrower shall not be extinguished by any judgment entered pursuant hereto; such

in the same or different jurisdictions, as often as the holder shall deem
necessary or advisable until all sums due under this Agreement have been paid in
full.

provided in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents or under applicable Law

proceeding brought by the Bank to collect the sums owed on the Loan, an
affidavit made under oath by an officer of the Bank setting forth the unpaid
balance of principal, and any accrued interest, default interest, and late
charges owed on the Loan shall be presumed correct and shall be admissible in
evidence for the purpose of establishing the truth of what it asserts.
SECTION 9.8. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER

independent of any defense or any rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim
