This Loan Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into
effective as of July 15, 1997 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") by and among, jointly and

executed and delivered pursuant hereto, and any other documents executed or
delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Loan
(as defined below).
WHEREAS, Lender desires to loan a certain sum to Borrower and Borrower
wishes to borrow a certain sum from Lender in order that Borrower may purchase
and make improvements to his primary residence, on and subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Lender and Borrower hereby agree as follows:
1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT.
1.1 COMMITMENT TO LEND. Subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, and in reliance on the representations, warranties and
covenants of Borrower set forth in this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a
loan of funds on the date of the Note to Borrower on a non-revolving basis (the
"LOAN") in the principal amount of up to Two Million Four Hundred Thousand
Dollars (U.S. $2,400,000.00), which represents Two Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars (U.S. $2,200,000.00) ("FUNDS FOR PURCHASE") for the purchase of
Borrower's primary residence, the Property (as defined below), and up to Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $200,000.00) ("FUNDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS") for
improvements to the Property. Lender will advance a) the Funds For Purchase on
the Effective Date and b) the Funds For Improvements as requested by Borrower as
Borrower incurs costs for improvements to the Property.
1.2 NOTE. Borrower's indebtedness to Lender under the Loan will
be evidenced by a Promissory Note executed by Borrower in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "NOTE"). The Note will provide that (a) no interest
will accrue during the first two years after the date of the Note (the "INTEREST
FREE PERIOD") and (b) annually compounded interest on unpaid principal will
accrue after the Interest Free Period at a rate equal to six and sixty-five
hundredths percent (6.65%) per annum.
1.3 SECURITY. Borrower's indebtedness to Lender under the Loan
will be secured by a first deed of trust in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
"B" (the "DEED OF TRUST"). The Deed of Trust will be executed by Borrower in
favor of Lender, with North American Title Company, a California corporation
(the "ESCROW AGENT"), acting as trustee, on certain real property located at 192
Hawthorn Drive, Atherton, California (the "PROPERTY").

1.4 MATURITY. The unpaid principal amount of the Loan and all
unpaid interest accrued thereon will be immediately due and payable to Lender in
full on the date (the "MATURITY DATE") which is the earlier to occur of: (a) the
seventh anniversary of the date of the Note or (b) the date on which the entire
unpaid principal amount and all accrued interest on the Note becomes immediately
due and payable in full under Section 6.1.
1.5 PREPAYMENT. Borrower may at any time and from time to time
prepay the Loan in whole or in part in amounts of at least Ten Thousand Dollars
(U.S. $10,000.00). Each prepayment will be applied as follows: (a) first, to the
payment of interest accrued on the Loan, and (b) second, to the extent that the
amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest, to
the payment of principal on the Loan.
2. CLOSING DATE; DELIVERIES.

2.2 DELIVERY BY LENDER OF LOAN.
(a) At the Closing, Lender will deliver Two Million Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $2,200,000.00)
constituting the Funds For Purchase to Escrow
Agent, less any deposits Lender has already made
with Escrow Agent, to be applied toward Borrower's
purchase of the Property which delivery Borrower
agrees shall constitute funding of the Loan to
Borrower; and
(b) Upon Borrower's request, as Borrower incurs costs
for improvements to the Property, Lender will
deliver up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S.
$200,000.00) constituting the Funds For

Lender's sole discretion, for improvements to the
