with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA, Keogh, and trust
accounts. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all
such accounts.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
Default On Indebtedness. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due
on the Loans.
Other Defaults. Failure of Borrower or any Grantor to comply with or to

contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents, or failure
of Borrower to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and
Borrower.
Default In Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or
person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's
or any Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at
any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
Security Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security Interest) at
any time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower, any creditor
of any Grantor against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, or by any
governmental agency. This includes a garnishment, attachment, or levy on
or of any of Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event
of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or
Grantor, as the case may be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the
claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, and if
Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
7

===============================================================================
forfeiture proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond for the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies
or becomes Incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its option,
may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume
unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner
satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure the Event of Default.
Change In Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%)
or more of the common stock of Borrower.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given
a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it
may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or
Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender
demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15)
days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except
where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all
commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related
Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any
obligation to make Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option,
all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of
any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the
type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take
action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect
Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:
Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the
matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this
Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the
party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or
amendment.
Applicable Law. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and accepted
by Lender in the State of Oregon. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees
upon Lender's request to submit to the Jurisdiction of the courts of
Washington County, the State of Oregon. Subject to the provisions on
arbitration, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.
Arbitration. Lender and Borrower agree that all disputes, claims and
controversies between them, whether individual, joint, or class in nature,
arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation
contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of
the American Arbitration Association, upon request of either party. No act
to take or dispose of any Collateral shall constitute a waiver of this
arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This
includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary
restraining order; foreclosing by notice and sale under any deed of trust
or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or
exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or
disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or
controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or
exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to
rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the
Collateral, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator
shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any
party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude
any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent
Jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and
similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought
by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the
commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement
of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply
to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration
provision.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
of this Agreement.
Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of the Borrowers
signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation
whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any
information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other
matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to
privacy it may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally
waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as
all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower
also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be
considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will
have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements
governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further
waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later
against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest
and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce
Borrower's obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or
insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loans. Borrower further
agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce
its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower
may have against Lender.
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans
and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys'
fees and Lenders legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any
court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile, and shall be effective when
actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the
address shown above. Any party may change its address for notices under
this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,
specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one
Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers.
For
8

===============================================================================
notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of
Borrower's current address(es).
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
Lender or on Lender's behalf.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. 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 prejudice or constitute a waiver
of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision
or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor
any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and
any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
continuing consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.
