Collateral.  (2) Borrower  has no knowledge  of, or reason to believe that there
has been (a) any breach or violation  of any  Environmental  Laws;  (b) any use,
generation,  manufacture,  storage,  treatment,  disposal, release or threatened
release of any Hazardous  Substance on, under,  about or from the  Collateral by
any prior  owners or occupants  of any of the  Collateral;  or (c) any actual or
threatened  litigation  or claims  of any kind by any  person  relating  to such

inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine  compliance of
the Collateral with this section of the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made

shall not be construed to create any  responsibility or liability on the part of
Lender to Borrower or to any other person.  The  representations  and warranties
contained  herein are based on  Borrower's  due diligence in  investigating  the
Collateral for hazardous  waste and Hazardous  Substances.  Borrower  hereby (1)

contribution  in the event  Borrower  becomes  liable for cleanup or other costs

from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a  consequence  of any use,
generation,  manufacture,  storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a
hazardous waste or substance on the  Collateral.  The provisions of this section
of the  Agreement,  including the  obligation  to  indemnify,  shall survive the
payment of the Indebtedness  and the termination,  expiration or satisfaction of
this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest
in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

Litigation and Claims. No litigation, claim, investigation,  administrative
proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Borrower
is pending or  threatened,  and no other event has occurred which may materially
adversely  affect  Borrower's  financial  condition  or  properties,  other than
litigation,  claims,  or other events,  if any, that have been  disclosed to and
acknowledged by Lender in writing.

and  reports  that are or were  required to be filed,  have been filed,  and all
taxes, assessments and other governmental charges have been paid in full, except
those  presently  being or to be  contested  by  Borrower  in good  faith in the
ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been provided.

Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security  Agreements,  or permitted
the filing or  attachment  of any Security  Interests on or affecting any of the
Collateral  directly or indirectly  securing  repayment of  Borrower's  Loan and
Note,  that  would  be  prior or that  may in any way be  superior  to  Lender's
Security Interests and rights in and to such Collateral.

Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements (if any),
and all Related Documents are binding upon the signers thereof,  as well as upon
their successors,  representatives  and assigns,  and are legally enforceable in

obligations, including without limitation all assessments, taxes, governmental

applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, order or directive,

Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Comply with all laws, ordinances, and
regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities
applicable to the conduct of Borrower's properties, businesses and operations,
and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including without limitation, the
Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such
law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding,
including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in
writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's
interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to
post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to
protect Lender's interest.

Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to
inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's other
properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and records and

any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to exist, as a result of an
intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower's part or on the
part of any third party, on property owned and/or occupied by Borrower, any
environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless such
environmental activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a
permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental
authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation,
directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or

there  is  damage  to  the  environment  and/or  other  natural  resources.
Additional  Assurances.  Make,  execute and  deliver to Lender  such  promissory
notes, mortgages,  deeds of trust, security agreements,  assignments,  financing
statements,  instruments,  documents  and  other  agreements  as  Lender  or its
attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect
all Security Interests.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
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, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed 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), 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 to any other  person,  enterprise  or  entity,  (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.

     Agreements.  Borrower  will not enter  into any  agreement  containing  any
provisions  which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower's
obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

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 or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor 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; (C) there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any
Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any
Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such
Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in
good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have
occurred.

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 Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation,  covenant or condition  contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

     Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor  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 or any Grantor'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 Borrower or on Borrower's  behalf under this Agreement or
the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now
or at the time made or  furnished  or becomes  false or  misleading  at any time
thereafter.

     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.

     Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full  force and  effect  (including  failure  of any  collateral
document to create a valid and perfected  security interest or lien) at any time
and for any reason.

     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. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's  accounts,  including deposit accounts,  with Lender.  However,  this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the  validity  or  reasonableness  of the  claim  which  is the  basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the  creditor or  forfeiture  proceeding  and deposits  with Lender  monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture  proceeding,  in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion,  as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.

     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



                             BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT

 Loan No: 1413111                 (Continued)                             Page 5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

incompetent,  or revokes or disputes the  validity of, or liability  under,
any  Guaranty  of the  Indebtedness.  In the  event of a death,  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 any 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 Loan is impaired.

     Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes 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 if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice
from Lender demanding cure of such default:  (1) cure the default within fifteen
(15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days,  immediately
initiate  steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole  discretion to be sufficient
to cure the default and  thereafter  continue and complete  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
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.

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.

     Attorneys'  Fees;  Expenses.  Borrower  agrees  to pay upon  demand  all of
Lender's costs and expenses,  including  Lender's  attorneys'  fees and Lender's
legal  expenses,  incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.
Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and Borrower
shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include
Lender's  attorneys' fees and legal expenses  whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including  attorneys'  fees  and  legal  expenses  for  bankruptcy   proceedings
(including  efforts  to modify  or vacate  any  automatic  stay or  injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated  post-judgment  collection services.  Borrower also
shall pay all court  costs and such  additional  fees as may be  directed by the
court.

     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.

     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 Loan 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  Borrower  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  Loan  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 Loan irrespective of the
failure  or  insolvency  of any  holder of any  interest  in the Loan.  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.

     Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to
Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of
California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement has
been accepted by Lender in the State of California.

     Choice of Venue.  If there is a  lawsuit,  Borrower  agrees  upon  Lender's
request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Alameda County,  State of
California.

     No Waiver by Lender.  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 of  Borrower's  or any
Grantor's  obligations  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 to subsequent instances
where such  consent is required  and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

     Notices.  Any notice  required  to be given under this  Agreement  shall be
given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered,  when actually
received by  telefacsimile  (unless  otherwise  required by law), when deposited
with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in
the United  States mail, as first class,  certified or  registered  mail postage
prepaid,  directed to the addresses  shown near the beginning of this Agreement.
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. For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to
keep  Lender  informed  at all  times  of  Borrower's  current  address.  Unless
otherwise  provided or required by law, if there is more than one Borrower,  any
notice  given by Lender  to any  Borrower  is  deemed to be notice  given to all
Borrowers.

     Severability.  If a court of competent  jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be illegal,  invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance,
that  finding  shall  not make the  offending  provision  illegal,  invalid,  or
unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision
shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If
the offending  provision cannot be so modified,  it shall be considered  deleted
from  this  Agreement.   Unless  otherwise  required  by  law,  the  illegality,
invalidity,  or  unenforceability  of any provision of this Agreement  shall not
affect the legality,  validity or  enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement.

     Subsidiaries  and Affiliates of Borrower.  To the extent the context of any
provisions  of this  Agreement  makes  it  appropriate, including  without

affiliates.  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 of Borrower's subsidiaries or affiliates.

     Successors  and Assigns.  All covenants  and  agreements by or on behalf of
Borrower  contained  in this  Agreement  or any  Related  Documents  shall  bind
Borrower's  successors  and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and
its  successors  and assigns.  Borrower  shall not,  however,  have the right to
assign Borrower's  rights under this Agreement or any interest therein,  without
the prior written consent of Lender.

     Survival of Representations and Warranties. Borrower understands and agrees
that in making the Loan, Lender is relying on all  representations,  warranties,
and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any  certificate or other
instrument  delivered by Borrower to Lender under this  Agreement or the Related
Documents.  Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by
Lender,  all such  representations,  warranties  and covenants  will survive the
making of the Loan and  delivery  to Lender of the Related  Documents,  shall be
continuing in nature,  and shall remain in full force and effect until such time
as Borrower's  Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall
be terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.

PROMISE TO PAY. FLF, INC.  ("Borrower")  promises to pay to Bank of Alameda
("Lender"),  or order,  in lawful  money of the United  States of  America,  the
principal amount of Two Million & 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00),  together with
interest at the rate of 8.000% on the unpaid principal  balance from January 26,
2005, until paid in full.

PAYMENT.  Borrower  will pay this loan in full  immediately  upon  Lender's
demand. If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in 59 regular payments
of $24,377.80  each and one irregular last payment  estimated at  $1,223,575.31.

and interest.  Unless otherwise  agreed or required by applicable law,  payments
will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to
any unpaid collection  costs; and then to any late charges.  The annual interest
rate for this Note is computed  on a 365/360  basis;  that is, by  applying  the
ratio of the annual  interest  rate over a year of 360 days,  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.

PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and
other  prepaid  finance  charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and
will not be subject to refund  upon early  payment  (whether  voluntary  or as a
result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon
full prepayment of this Note, Borrower  understands that Lender is entitled to a
minimum interest charge of $100.00.  Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any
minimum  interest  charge,  Borrower may pay without penalty 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, early payments will reduce
the principal  balance due and may result in Borrower's  making fewer  payments.
Borrower  agrees not to send Lender  payments  marked  "paid in full",  "without
recourse",  or similar  language.  If Borrower sends such a payment,  Lender may
accept it without  losing any of Lender's  rights under this Note,  and Borrower
will  remain  obligated  to pay any further  amount owed to Lender.  All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment
instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes  "payment in full" of the
amount owed or that is tendered with other  conditions or limitations or as full
satisfaction  of a  disputed  amount  must be mailed or  delivered  to:  Bank of
Alameda, Attn: Loan Department, P.O. Box F Alameda, CA 94501-0272.

     LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $20.00, whichever is greater.

     INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, the interest rate on this Note shall
immediately  increase by 6.000 percentage  points, if permitted under applicable
law.

     DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event
of Default") under this Note:

     Payment  Default.  Borrower  fails to make any payment  when due under this
Note.

     Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation,  covenant  or  condition  contained  in  this  Note or in any of the
related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

     Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor  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.

     False  Statements.  Any  warranty,  representation  or  statement  made  or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on  Borrower's  behalf under this Note or the
related documents is false or misleading in any material respect,  either now or
at the  time  made or  furnished  or  becomes  false or  misleading  at any time
thereafter.

     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.

     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. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's  accounts,  including deposit accounts,  with Lender.  However,  this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the  validity  or  reasonableness  of the  claim  which  is the  basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the  creditor or  forfeiture  proceeding  and deposits  with Lender  monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture  proceeding,  in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion,  as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.

     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

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 any Event of Default.

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 this
Note is impaired.

     Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable
and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of
this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months,  it may be cured if Borrower,
after receiving  written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default:  (1)
cures the default  within  fifteen (15) days;  or (2) if the cure  requires more
than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate ssteps which Lender deems in
