|_____________________________________________________________________________|
On the Maturity Date, as stated above, for value received, the undersigned
promise(s) to pay to the order of COMERICA BANK-CALIFORNIA ("Bank"), at any
office of the Bank in the State of California, FIVE MILLION AND NO/100
Dollars (U.S.) (or that portion of it advanced by the Bank and not repaid as
later provided) with interest until maturity, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, or an Event of Default, as later defined, at a per annum rate
equal to the Bank's base rate from time to time in effect PLUS 0.00% per
annum and after that at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise
prevailing under this Note plus 3% per annum (but in no event in excess of
the maximum rate permitted by law). The Bank's "base rate" is that annual
rate of interest so designated by the Bank and which is changed by the Bank
from time to time. Interest rate changes will be effective for interest
computation purposes as and when the Bank's base rate changes. Interest shall
be calculated on the basis of 360-day year for the actual number of days the
principal is outstanding. Accrued interest on this Note shall be payable on
the 1ST day of each MONTH commencing JUNE 1, 1996, until the Maturity Date
when all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be due and payable in
full. If the frequency of interest payments is not otherwise specified,
accrued interest on this Note shall be payable monthly on the first day of
each month. If any payment of principal or interest under this Note shall be
payable on a day other than a day on which the Bank is open for business,
this payment shall be extended to the next succeeding business day and
interest shall be payable at the rate specified in this Note during this
extension. A late payment charge equal to 5% of each late payment may be
charged on any payment not received by the Bank within 10 calendar days after
the payment due date, but acceptance of payment of this charge shall not
waive any Default under this Note.
The principal amount payable under this Note shall be the sum of all advances
made by the Bank to or at the request of the undersigned, less principal
payments actually received in cash by the Bank. The books and records of the
Bank shall be the best evidence of the principal amount and the unpaid
interest amount owing at any time under this Note and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. No interest shall accrue under this Note until the
date of the first advance made by the Bank; after that interest on all
advances shall accrue and be computed on the principal balance outstanding
from time to time under this Note until the same is paid in full.
This Note and any other indebtedness and liabilities of any kind of the
undersigned (or any of them) to the Bank, and any and all modifications,
renewals or extensions of it, whether joint or several, contingent or
absolute, now existing or later arising, and however evidenced (collectively,
"Indebtedness") are secured by and the Bank is granted a security interest in
all items deposited in any account of any of the undersigned with the Bank
and by all proceeds of these items (cash or otherwise), all account balances
of any of the undersigned from time to time with the Bank, by all property of
any of the undersigned from time to time in the possession of the Bank and by
any other collateral, rights and properties described in each and every deed
of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, assignment and other security
or collateral agreement which has been, or will at any time(s) later be,
executed by any (or all) of the undersigned to or for the benefit of the Bank
(collectively "Collateral"). 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 any of the undersigned's principal dwelling or any of the undersigned's
real property which is not a purchase money security interest as to that
portion, unless expressly provided to the contrary in another place, or (ii)
if the undersigned (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 this Note or any other Indebtedness of the undersigned (or
any of them), unless expressly provided to the contrary In another place.
If the undersigned (or any of them) or any guarantor under a guaranty of all
or part of the Indebtedness ("guarantor") (i) fail(s) to pay any of the
indebtedness when due, by maturity, acceleration or otherwise, or fails(s) to
pay any indebtedness owing on a demand basis upon demand; or (ii) fail(s) to
comply with any of the terms or provisions of any agreement between the
undersigned (or any of them) or any such guarantor and the Bank; or (iii)
become(s) insolvent or the subject of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding
in bankruptcy, or a reorganization, arrangement or creditor composition
proceeding, (if a business entity) cease(s) doing business as a going
concern, (if a natural person) die(s) or become(s) incompetent, (if a
partnership) dissolve(s) or any general partner of it dies, becomes
incompetent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or (if a
corporation of a limited liability company) is the subject of a dissolution,
merger or consolidation; or (a) if any warranty or representation made by any
of the undersigned or any guarantor in connection with this Note or any of
the Indebtedness shall be discovered to be untrue or incomplete; or (b) if
there is any termination, notice of termination, or breach of any guaranty,
pledge, collateral assignment or subordination agreement relating to all or
any part of the Indebtedness; or (c) if there is any failure by any of the
undersigned or any guarantor to pay when due any of its Indebtedness (other
than to the Bank) or in the observance or performance of any term, covenant
or condition in any document evidencing, securing or relating to such
Indebtedness; or (d) if the Bank deems itself insecure believing that the
prospect of payment of this Note or any of the Indebtedness is impaired or
shall fear deterioration, removal or waste of any of the Collateral; or (e)
if there is filed or issued a levy or writ of attachment or garnishment or
other like judicial process upon the undersigned (or any of them) or any
guarantor or any of the Collateral, including without limit, any accounts of
the undersigned (or any of them) or any guarantor with the Bank, then the
Bank, upon the occurrence of any of these events (each a "Default"), may at

contrary), sell or liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral, set off
against the Indebtedness any amounts owing by the Bank to the undersigned (or
any of them), charge interest at the default rate provided in the document
evidencing the relevant Indebtedness and exercise any one or more of the

Note 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 Note, 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 the
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
instrument, or (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

indulgence to the undersigned (or any of them) or release, substitution or
