Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate on any Collateral and paying all costs
for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate
charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness
and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the
balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment
payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance
policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon
payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity.
NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:
Indebtedness and Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal
course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this
Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money,
including capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge,
lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's assets
(except as allowed as Permitted Liens and except in the ordinary course of
business), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower's accounts, except to
Lender.
Continuity of Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities
substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged,
(2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate
with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell
Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends
on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided,
however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of
dividends, if Borrower is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends
on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to
enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax
payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which
arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S
Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or
purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend
Borrower's capital structure.
Loans, Acquisitions and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or
assets, (2) purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other
enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any obligation as surety or guarantor
other than in the ordinary course of business.
CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make Loan advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(A) Borrower is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any other
agreement that Borrower has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any guarantor dies,
becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or
similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; or (C) there occurs a material
adverse change in Borrower's financial condition, or in the value of any
collateral securing any Loan.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. 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.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
Loan.
Other Default. Borrower fails to comply with any other term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related
Documents and such failure continues for a period thirty (30) days
following written notice from Lender.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower defaults 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 ability to repay
the Loans or perform Borrower's obligations under this Agreement or any
related document.
False Statements. Any representation or statement made by Borrower to
Lender is false in any material respect.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower
and with respect to any such involuntary proceeding , the same is not
dismissed or otherwise discharged within ninety (90) days.
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 or by any
governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan.
Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25 %)
or more of the common stock of Borrower.
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 immediately will terminate
(including any obligation to make further 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.
LENDER'S LOAN FEES. In consideration for Lender holding itself ready, willing
and able to extend the loan evidenced by this Note, Borrower has paid Lender a
loan fee of $5,000.00, which represents 1.00% of the original amount of this
Note. If Lender extends the maturity date of this Note beyond its stated
maturity, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion to automatically
assess a fee for the extension, which fee shall be same percentage as the
