references to dollar amounts shall mean amounts in lawful money of the United

    Landlord's Consent may be amended or modified from time to time, together

BORROWER'S ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE.  Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all of
Borrower's rights in the Lease, as partial security for the Loan.  The parties
intend that this assignment will be a present transfer to Lender of all of
Borrower's rights under the Lease, subject to Borrower's rights to use the
Premises and enjoy the benefits of the Lease while not in default on the Loan
or Lease.  Upon full performance by Borrower under the Loan, this assignment
shall be ended, without the necessity of any further action by any of the
parties.  This assignment includes all renewals of and amendments to the Lease
or the Loan, until the Loan is paid in full.  No amendments may be made to the
Lease without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

CONSENT OF LANDLORD.  Landlord consents to the above assignment.  If Borrower
defaults under the Loan or the Lease, Lender may reassign the Lease, and
Landlord agrees that Landlord's consent to any such reassignment will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  So long as Lender has not entered the
Premises for the purpose of operating a business, Lender will have no liability
under the Lease, including without limitation liability for rent.  Whether or
not Lender enters into possession of the Premises for any purpose, Borrower
will remain fully liable for all obligations of Borrower as lessee under the
Lease.  While Lender is in possession of the Premises, Lender will cause all
payments due under the Lease and attributable to that period of time to be made
to Landlord.  If Lender later reassigns the Lease or vacates the Premises,
Lender will have no further obligation to Landlord.

LEASE DEFAULTS.  Both Borrower and Landlord agree and represent to Lender that,
to the best of their knowledge, there is no breach or offset existing under the
Lease or under any other agreement between Borrower and Landlord.  Landlord
agrees not to terminate the Lease, despite any default by Borrower, without
giving Lender written notice of the default and an opportunity to cure the
default within a period of sixty (60) days from the receipt of the notice.  If
the default is one that cannot reasonably be cured by Lender (such as
insolvency, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceedings against Borrower), then
Landlord will not terminate the Lease so long as Landlord receives all sums due
under the Lease for the period during which Lender is in possession of the
Premises, or so long as Lender reassigns the Lease to a new lessee reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.

DISCLAIMER OF INTEREST.  Landlord hereby consents to Lender's security interest
(or other interest) in the Collateral and disclaims all interests, liens and
claims which Landlord now has or may hereafter acquire in the Collateral.
Landlord agrees that any lien or claim it may now have or may hereafter have in
the Collateral will be subject at all times to Lender's security interest (or
other present or future interest) in the Collateral and will be subject to the
rights granted by Landlord to Lender in this Agreement.

ENTRY ONTO PREMISES.  Landlord and Borrower grant to Lender the right to enter
upon the Premises for the purpose of removing the Collateral from the Premises
or conducting sales of the Collateral on the Premises.  The rights granted to
Lender in this Agreement will continue until a reasonable time after Lender
receives notice in writing from Landlord that Borrower no longer is in lawful
possession of the Premises.  If Lender enters onto the Premises and removes the
Collateral, Lender agrees with Landlord not to remove any Collateral in such a
way that the Premises are damaged, without either repairing any such damage or
reimbursing Landlord for the cost of repair.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.  This Agreement shall extend to and bind the
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the
parties to this Agreement.  The covenants of Borrower and Landlord respecting
subordination of the claim or claims of Landlord in favor of Lender shall
extend to, include, and be enforceable by any transferee or endorsee to whom
Lender may transfer any claim or claims to which this Agreement shall apply.
Lender need not accept this Agreement in writing or otherwise to make it
effective.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Oregon.  If Landlord is other than an individual,
any agent or other person executing this Agreement on behalf of Landlord
represents and warrants to Lender that he or she has full power and authority
to execute this Agreement on Landlord's behalf.  Lender shall not be deemed to
have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Lender.  Without notice to Landlord and without affecting the
validity of this Consent, Lender may do or not do anything it deems appropriate
or necessary with respect to the Loan, any obligors on the Loan, or any
Collateral for the Loan; including without limitation extending, renewing,
rearranging, or accelerating any of the Loan indebtedness.  No delay or
omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver by Lender of a provision of
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of or prejudice Lender's right
otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other
provision.  Whenever consent by Lender is required in this Agreement, the
granting of such consent by Lender in any one instance shall not constitute
continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required.
