Spurlock Adhesives, Inc. ("Borrower') promises to pay to JAMES RIVER BANK ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Hundred Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred & 00/100 Dollars ($137,500.00), together with interest at the rate of 8.250% per annum on the unpaid principal balance from May 1, 1998, until paid in full. PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan In 59 regular payments of $1,334.23 each and one irregular last payment estimated at $110,091.79 Borrower's first payment is due June 1, 1998, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower's final payment due May 1, 2003, will be for all principal, accrued interest, and all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if any, not yet paid Payments include principal and interest. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over the number of days in a year (366 during leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower making fewer payments. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 7 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $50.00, whichever is less. DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due.

(c) 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 this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the Related Documents. (d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished. (e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower' property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

(g) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note. (h) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. (i) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure. LENDER'S RIGHTS.

Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, increase the interest rate on the Note 4.000 percentage points.
