CONTROL AGREEMENT
(Deposit Account)

             This CONTROL AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated as of the date
specified at the end of this Agreement is entered into among Fargo Electronics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Customer"), LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a
national banking association, as agent for the banks party to that certain
Credit Agreement dated as of September 15, 2000 ("Secured Party") and WELLS
FARGO BANK, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), and sets forth the rights of Secured Party and
the obligations of Wells Fargo with respect to the demand deposit account of
Customer at Wells Fargo specified at the end of this Agreement (the "Restricted
Account").

             1.  Definitions.  In this Agreement:

  "Control" means control of a deposit amount, as defined in Revised Article 9.
      "Instrument" is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code.       "Security"
is defined in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.       "Uniform
Commercial Code" means the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of
Minnesota, as amended   from time to time, including, without limitation, on and
after the effective date of Minn. Laws 2000, Chapter 399, substantially
adopting  Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as approved by the
National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law Laws in July, 1998 (as
so adopted being sometimes herein referred to as “Revised Article 9”) by Revised
Article 9.

             2.  SECURED PARTY'S INTEREST IN RESTRICTED ACCOUNT.  Secured Party
represents that it is either, as indicated at the end of this Agreement, (i) a
lender who has extended credit to Customer and has been granted a security
interest in the Restricted Account or (ii) such a lender and the agent for a
group of such lenders (the "Lenders").  Customer hereby confirms, and Wells
Fargo hereby acknowledges, that the Customer has given the Secured Party a
security interest in and has assigned to the Secured Party, all of the
Customer's existing and future accounts with Wells Fargo, and all amendments,
extensions, renewals and replacements thereof (collectively called the
"Account"), and all amounts now or at any time hereafter in the Restricted
Account, and all interest and other earnings which may now or hereafter accrue
thereon, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, and all proceeds of the foregoing property (all such assigned
property being the "Collateral"). Such security interest and assignment are
called the "Security Interest".  The Customer and the Secured Party hereby give
Wells Fargo notice of the Security Interest, and Wells Fargo acknowledges
receipt of such notice.

             3.  CONTROL.  The Collateral constitutes a "Deposit Account", as
such term is defined in Revised Article 9.  The Customer represents to the
Secured Party and Wells Fargo that the transaction secured by the Security
Interest is not a "Consumer Transaction", as such term is defined in Revised
Article 9.  By entering into this Agreement, the Customer and Wells Fargo are
giving the Secured Party Control over the Collateral, and the Secured Party is
perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral by Control.  Wells Fargo will
comply with all written instructions originated by the Secured Party directing
disposition of the funds in the Restricted Account without any further consent
by the Customer.  This means that Wells Fargo will comply with all written
orders, notices, requests and other instructions of the Secured Party relating
to the Collateral, including but not limited to orders, notices, requests and
other instructions to withdraw or transfer any Collateral, or redeem or
terminate the Restricted Account, and to pay or transfer any Collateral to the
Secured Party or any other person or entity.  Customer hereby instructs Wells
Fargo to indicate on its records for the Restricted Account that Secured Party
has a security interest in the Restricted Account.  Wells Fargo agrees to do
this.  Customer and Secured Party would like to use the service of Wells Fargo
described in this Agreement (the "Service") to further the arrangements between
Secured Party and Customer regarding the Collateral.

             4.  ACCESS TO RESTRICTED ACCOUNT.  Until Wells Fargo receives
notice from the Secured Party that the Customer's rights are terminated (a
"Rights Termination Notice"), Wells Fargo will comply with all notices,
requests, and other instructions from the Customer for disposition of funds in
the Restricted Account, including but not limited to orders, notices, requests
or instructions to withdraw or transfer any Collateral, and to pay or transfer
any Collateral to the Customer or any other person or entity, but not to redeem
or terminate the Restricted Account.  Except in accordance with the previous
sentence, without the Secured Party's written consent Wells Fargo will not
comply with any order, notice, request or other instruction from the Customer or
any other person or entity except the Secured Party relating to any Collateral,
and Wells Fargo will not pay or transfer any Collateral to the Customer or any
other person or entity except the Secured Party.  Customer agrees that it will
not be able to withdraw money from the Restricted Account, that it will not have
access to the Restricted Account or any Collateral, and that Secured Party will
have exclusive access to the Restricted Account and all Collateral, except as
specifically provided in this Agreement or as specifically agreed by Secured
Party in writing.

             5.  BALANCE REPORTS.  Wells Fargo agrees that following receipt of
a Rights Termination Notice it will deliver by facsimile transmission to Secured
Party on each Banking Day (a day on which Wells Fargo is open to conduct its
regular banking business, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday) a
report (the "Balance Report") show­ing the opening available balance in the
Restricted Account as of the beginning of such Banking Day.  Secured Party and
Customer understand and agree that the opening available balance in the
Restricted Account at the beginning of any Banking Day will be deter­­mined
after deducting from the Restricted Account the face amount ("Returned Item
Amount") of all checks or other items credited to the Restricted Account and
then returned unpaid on the immediately preceding Banking Day for any reason
("Returned Item").

             6.  TRANSFERS TO SECURED PARTY.  Wells Fargo agrees that on each
Banking Day following receipt of a Rights Termination Notice it will transfer to
the Secured Party's account specified at the end of this Agreement with the bank
specified at the end of this Agreement (the "Secured Party Account") the full
amount of the opening available balance in the Restricted Account at the
beginning of such Banking Day.  Wells Fargo will determine the funds transfer
system to be used in making each funds transfer and the means by which each
transfer will be made, provided, however, that any such funds transfer shall be
subject to the provisions of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted and in effect from time to time in the State of California.  Except for
changes to the Secured Party Account or the frequency with which funds are
transferred out of the Restricted Account to the Secured Party Account, which
changes Customer agrees may be made by the Secured Party alone in any writing
sent to Wells Fargo, changes to the transfer instructions in this Agreement can
only be made by Secured Party, Customer and Wells Fargo signing a new agreement
or an amendment to this Agreement, which new agreement or amendment has security
procedures similar to the security procedures specified in Section 7 of this
Agreement.

             7.  WIRE TRANSFER SECURITY PROCEDURES.  Customer and Secured Party
have requested that following receipt of a Rights Termination Notice Wells Fargo
make the transfers out of the Restricted Account on Wells Fargo's initiative in
accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement even though Customer and Secured
Party understand that transfers out of the Restricted Account would be more
secure if they were each requested on Customer's or Secured Party's personal
computer using Wells Fargo's electronic funds transfer service, which service
contains Wells Fargo's recommended security procedures for funds transfers. 
Customer and Secured Party agree that the following security procedures will be
used before the first transfer out of the Restricted Account to the Secured
Party Account specified at the end of this Agreement, before the first transfer
out of the Restricted Account to any new Secured Party account, and before any
change in the transfer instructions in this Agreement become effective, to
attempt to make certain that the transfers requested pursuant to Section 6 of
this Agreement or any other transfers out of the Restricted Account are
authorized by Customer and Secured Party:  (1) Wells Fargo will compare the
signature under which Customer signs this Agreement with the sample signature at
the end of this Agreement under the heading "TRANSFER AUTHORIZERS", and (2)
Wells Fargo will call back one of the persons named at the end of this Agreement
under the heading "TRANSFER VERIFIERS" and attempt to obtain verification of the
transfers requested under this Agreement.  This Agreement will not be accepted
by Wells Fargo or any transfer made out of the Restricted Account if the two
signatures do not, in Wells Fargo's opinion, match or if the transfers requested
under Section 6 of this Agreement or any other transfers out of the Restricted
Account are not verified by someone purporting to be a Transfer Verifier listed
at the end of this Agreement.  Wells Fargo is under no obligation to confirm in
any other way the identity of any purported Transfer Verifier or the person
signing this Agreement for Customer.  Customer and Secured Party agree to be
bound by each transfer out of the Restricted Account if Wells Fargo makes such
transfer in good faith and in compliance with these security procedures, even if
the transfer is not properly authorized by Customer.  If Wells Fargo takes any
action in addition to these security procedures in an attempt to determine if
the transfers are authorized by Customer or Secured Party, such actions will not
become part of the security procedures, and Wells Fargo will not be liable for
not taking these actions or for not correctly performing these actions.

             8.  DELAYS IN MAKING FUNDS TRANSFERS.   Secured Party and Customer
understand that a funds transfer may be delayed or not made if (a) the transfer
would cause Wells Fargo to exceed any limitation on its intra-day net funds
position established in accordance with Federal Reserve or other regulatory
guidelines or to violate any other Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk
control program, or (b) the funds transfer would otherwise cause Wells Fargo to
violate any applicable law or regulation.  If a funds transfer cannot be made or
will be delayed, Wells Fargo will attempt in good faith to notify Secured Party
by telephone.

             9.  RELIANCE ON ACCOUNT NUMBER OF WIRE TRANSFER BENEFICIARY.   If
Secured Party indicates a name and an identifying number for the bank of the
person or entity to receive funds transfers out of the Restricted Account,
Secured Party and Customer understand that Wells Fargo will rely on the number
Secured Party indicates even if that number identifies a bank different from the
bank Secured Party named.  If Secured Party indicates a name and an account
number for the person or entity to receive funds transfers out of the Restricted
Account, Secured Party and Customer understand that the bank of that person or
entity may rely on the account number Secured Party indicates even if that
account number is not the account number for the person or entity who is to
receive the transfers.

             10.  REPORTING ERRORS IN TRANSFERS.   If Secured Party or Customer
learns of any error in a funds transfer or any unauthorized funds transfer, then
the party learning of such error or unauthorized transfer (the "Informed Party")
must notify Wells Fargo as soon as possible in writing at Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., Wire Investigations, MAC 0186-068, 155 Fifth Street, 6th Floor, San
Francisco, California 94103, or by telephone at (800) AT-WELLS (which is a
recorded line).  In no case may such notice to Wells Fargo by an Informed Party
be made more than fourteen (14) calendar days after Wells Fargo's first
confirmation of a funds transfer to such Informed Party.  If a funds transfer is
made in error and Wells Fargo suffers a loss because Secured Party or Customer
breached its agreement to notify Wells Fargo of such error within this fourteen
(14) calendar day period, then the party or parties which breached this
agreement shall be obligated to reimburse Wells Fargo for such loss promptly
upon demand by Wells Fargo; provided, however, that in the event both Secured
Party and Customer breach this notification requirement, Secured Party shall not
be obligated to reimburse Wells Fargo for such loss unless Customer fails to
satisfy Wells Fargo's demand for such reimbursement within fifteen (15) calendar
days after such demand is made on Customer.

             11.  PAYMENT OF RETURNED ITEM AMOUNTS.  Secured Party and Customer
understand and agree that the Returned Item Amount of each Returned Item will be
paid by Wells Fargo debiting one or more of the demand deposit operating
accounts of Customer at Wells Fargo specified at the end of this Agreement (the
"Operating Accounts"), without notice to Secured Party or Customer, on the
Banking Day that each Returned Item is received, or, to the extent there are not
sufficient funds in the Operating Accounts to cover such returned Item Amounts
on the day they are to be debited to the Operating Accounts, by Wells Fargo
debiting the Restricted Account, without notice to Secured Party or Customer, on
the Banking Day that the applicable Returned Item is received.  Customer agrees
to pay the Returned Item Amounts immediately on demand, without setoff or
counterclaim, to the extent there are not sufficient funds in the Operating
Accounts or the Restricted Account to cover such Returned Item Amounts on the
day they are to be debited to the Operating Accounts or the Restricted Account. 
Secured Party agrees to pay the Returned Item Amounts within thirty (30)
calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent the
Returned Item Amounts are not paid in full by Customer within fifteen (15)
calendar days after demand on Customer by Wells Fargo.

             12.  PAYMENT OF WELLS FARGO FEES.  Customer agrees to pay all Wells
Fargo's fees and charges for the maintenance and administration of the
Restricted Account and for the cash management and other account services
provided with respect to the Restricted Account (collectively "Wells Fargo
Fees"), including, but not limited to, the fees for (a) the Balance Reports
provided on the Restricted Account, (b) the wire transfer services received with
respect to the Restricted Account, (c) Returned Items, (d) funds advanced to
cover overdrafts in the Restricted Account (but without Wells Fargo being in any
way obligated to make any such advances), and (e) duplicate bank statements on
the Restricted Account.  The Wells Fargo Fees will be paid by Wells Fargo
debiting the Restricted Account.  All such debits will be made on the Banking
Day that the Wells Fargo Fees are due without notice to Secured Party or
Customer.  If there are not sufficient funds in the Restricted Account to cover
fully the Wells Fargo Fees on the Banking Day they are debited from the
Restricted Account, such shortfall or the amount of such Wells Fargo Fees will
be paid by Customer sending Wells Fargo a check in the amount of such shortfall
or such Wells Fargo Fees, without setoff or counterclaim, within fifteen (15)
calendar days after demand of Wells Fargo.  Secured Party agrees to pay the
Wells Fargo Fees within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff
or counterclaim, to the extent such Wells Fargo Fees are not paid in full by
Customer by check within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Customer by
Wells Fargo.  Customer agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for any such
payments made on its behalf by Secured Party.  Wells Fargo may, in its
discretion, change the Wells Fargo Fees upon thirty (30) calendar days prior
written notice to Customer and Secured Party. 

             13.  ACCOUNT DOCUMENTATION.  Secured Party and Customer agree that,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Restricted Account will
be subject to, and Wells Fargo's operation of the Restricted Account will be in
accordance with, the terms and provisions of Wells Fargo's deposit account
opening documentation and other Wells Fargo account related documentation as in
effect and delivered to Customer and Secured Party from time to time, including,
but not limited to, Wells Fargo's "Wholesale Demand Deposit Account Disclosure
Statement", a copy of which Customer and Secured Party acknowledge having
received, (collectively, the "Account Documentation").

             14.  BANK STATEMENTS.  Wells Fargo will, if so indicated on the
signature page of this Agreement, send to Secured Party by United States mail,
at the address indicated for Secured Party after its signature to this
Agreement, duplicate copies of all bank statements on the Restricted Account
which are sent to Customer.  Customer and/or Secured Party will have thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt of a bank statement to notify Wells Fargo of an
error in such statement.  Wells Fargo's liability for such errors is limited as
provided in Section 18 of this Agreement. 

             15.  WAIVER OF SETOFF RIGHTS.  Wells Fargo hereby waives any right
it may have to apply any Account Funds against the payment of any indebtedness
from time to time owing to Wells Fargo from Customer, except for debits to the
Restricted Account permitted under this Agreement for the payment of Returned
Item Amounts and Wells Fargo Fees.

             16.  BANKRUPTCY NOTICE.  If Wells Fargo at any time receives notice
of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation
proceeding by or against Customer (a "Bankruptcy Notice"), Wells Fargo will
continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the
extent that any action required of Wells Fargo under this Agreement is
prohibited under applicable bankruptcy laws or regulations or is stayed pursuant
to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by
order of any court or agency.

             17.  CLAIMS, LEGAL PROCESS AND NOTICES.  If Wells Fargo receives
any claim, notice, legal process or court order relating to the Restricted
Account or any Collateral, Wells Fargo will notify Secured Party and Customer of
such receipt, unless Wells Fargo knows that Secured Party, with respect to so
notifying Secured Party, or Customer, with respect to so notifying Customer, is
already aware of such claim, notice, legal process or court order.  Secured
Party and Customer understand and agree that Wells Fargo will comply with any
such legal process, legal notice or court order it receives if Wells Fargo
determines in its sole discretion that such legal process, legal notice or court
order is legally binding on it.  If any claim or notice received by Wells Fargo
is not legally binding on it, as determined in its sole discretion, Wells Fargo
agrees to follow any instructions of Secured Party to comply or not comply with
such claim or notice if (a) such instructions are given promptly after Secured
Party is notified of such claim or notice and (b) such instructions do not
require Wells Fargo to violate any applicable law, regulation or court order. 
Customer hereby irrevocably agrees that Wells Fargo is to follow any such
instructions of Secured Party with respect to any such non-binding claim or
notice even if such claim or notice is from Customer.  If Wells Fargo does not
receive prompt instructions from Secured Party regarding compliance or
non-compliance with any such non-binding claim or notice, Secured Party and
Customer agree that Wells Fargo may determine in its sole discretion to comply
or not to comply with such claim or notice, except that Wells Fargo will not
comply with any such claim or notice from Customer conflicting with the terms of
this Agreement.

             18.  INDEMNIFICATION FOR FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.  Secured Party and
Customer each agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Wells Fargo will not be liable to Secured Party or Customer for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims (including, but not limited to, third party
claims), demands, obligations, actions, suits, judgments, penal­ties, costs or
expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, (collectively, "Losses
and Liabilities") suffered or incurred by Secured Party or Customer as a result
of or in connection with, (a) Wells Fargo following any written instruction of
Secured Party to comply or not comply with any non-binding claim or notice
referred to in Section 15 of this Agreement, (b) if no such instruction from
Secured Party is received within five (5) Banking Days after Secured Party’s
written notification of any such non-binding claim or notice, or within such
shorter time period as Wells Fargo may prescribe in writing to Secured Party,
Wells Fargo complying or not complying, as determined in its sole discretion,
with any such non-binding claim or notice, (c) Wells Fargo following any other
written instruction or request of Secured Party, or (d) Wells Fargo complying
with its obligations under this Agreement.  Further, Customer, and to the extent
not paid by Customer within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand, Secured
Party, will indemnify Wells Fargo against any Losses and Liabilities Wells Fargo
may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any of the
circumstances referred to in subsections (a) through (d) in the preceding
sentence.

             19.  REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.  The Customer and Wells Fargo
jointly and severally represent to the Secured Party, and agree that:

             (a)  No person or entity except the Secured Party has Control over
any of the Collateral.  Neither the Customer nor Wells Fargo has entered into
any agreement that gives any person or entity except the Secured Party Control
over any Collateral.  Neither the Customer nor Wells Fargo will permit any
person or entity except the Secured Party to have Control over any of the
Collateral, and neither the Customer nor Wells Fargo will enter into any
agreement that gives any person or entity except the Secured Party Control over
any of the Collateral.  The Customer is and will remain the sole account holder
of the Restricted Account.  No person or entity (except the Customer, the
Secured Party, and Wells Fargo) has any security interest, other interest, lien
or other right in any of the Collateral.  The Customer and Wells Fargo will
immediately notify the Secured Party if any person or entity (other than the
Customer, the Secured Party, or Wells Fargo) makes a claim against any of the
Collateral, or claims any security interest, other interest, lien or other right
in any of the Collateral.

             (b)  Wells Fargo has not issued, and will not issue, any
Instrument, Security, or certificate for any Collateral, and Wells Fargo will
not give to the Customer or any other person or entity, other than the Secured
Party, any Instrument, Security, or certificate for any Collateral.

             (c)  Without the Secured Party's written consent, Wells Fargo shall
not honor any check or other item drawn on the Restricted Account or any other
withdrawal or transfer from the Restricted Account, except in favor of the
Secured Party.

             (d)  Wells Fargo agrees that all of Wells Fargo's existing and
future security interests, liens, claims, rights of setoff and recoupment, and
other right, title and interest in any of the Collateral are fully subordinate
to the Security Interest.  Wells Fargo will not assert or enforce any of Wells
Fargo's existing or future security interests, liens, claims, rights of setoff
or recoupment, or other right, title or foregoing.

             (e)  Wells Fargo is a "Bank", as such term is defined in Revised
Article 9.  The State of Minnesota is Wells Fargo's jurisdiction for purposes of
Section 9-304 of Revised Article 9.  Wells Fargo has not entered into a separate
agreement with the Customer for purposes of determining Wells Fargo's
jurisdiction for purposes of perfecting a security interest in Deposit Accounts.

             20.  NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF WELLS  FARGO CONCERNING
QUALITY OF SERVICE, ERRORS, ETC.  Wells Fargo agrees to perform its obligations
under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the quality provided when Wells
Fargo performs similar services for its own account.  However, Wells Fargo
cannot be responsible for the errors, acts or omissions of those individuals or
entities (other than Wells Fargo’s employees or affiliates), such as
communications carriers, correspondents or clearinghouses through which Wells
Fargo may perform its obligations under this Agreement or receive or transmit
information in performing its obligations under this Agreement.  The Secured
Party and the Customer also understand that Wells Fargo cannot be responsible
for any loss, liability or delay caused by wars, failures in communications
networks, labor disputes, legal constraints, fires, power surges or failures,
earthquakes, civil disturbances or other events beyond Wells Fargo's control. 
WELLS FARGO MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH
RESPECT TO THE SERVICE IT IS TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN THOSE
EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

             21.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  In the event that the Secured Party,
the Customer or Wells Fargo suffers or incurs any Losses and Liabilities as a
result of, or in connection with, its or any other party's performance or
failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the affected parties
shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach a mutually satisfactory
allocation of such Losses and Liabilities, it being understood that Wells Fargo
will not be responsible for any Losses and Liabilities due to any cause other
than its own negligence or breach of this Agreement, in which case its liability
to Secured Party and Customer shall, except with respect to Wells Fargo's own
negligence or breach of this Agreement with respect to its obligations to
Secured Party under Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, be limited to direct
money damages in an amount not to exceed ten (10) times all the Wells Fargo Fees
charged or incurred during the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar
month in which such Losses and Liabilities occurred (or, if no Wells Fargo Fees
were charged or incurred in the preceding month, the Wells Fargo Fees charged or
incurred in the month in which the Losses and Liabilities occurred).  Customer
will indemnify Wells Fargo against any Losses and Liabilities suffered or
incurred by Wells Fargo as a result of third party claims to the extent such
Losses and Liabilities exceed the liability limitation specified in the
preceding sentence.  The limitation of Wells Fargo's liability and the
indemnification by Customer set forth above shall not be applicable to the
extent any Losses and Liabilities of any party to this Agreement are directly
caused by Wells Fargo's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  IN NO EVENT
WILL WELLS FARGO BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN TO WELLS FARGO AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION, INCLUD­ING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION
ALLEGING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILL­FUL MISCONDUCT, FAILURE TO EXERCISE REASONABLE
CARE OR FAILURE TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH.  Any action against Wells Fargo by
Customer or Secured Party under or related to this Agreement must be brought
within two years after the cause of action accrues. 

             22.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement and the Service may be terminated
by Secured Party or Wells Fargo at any time by either of them giving sixty (60)
calendar days prior written notice of such termina­tion to the other two parties
to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to
this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agree­ment and the Service may be
terminated immediately upon written notice from Wells Fargo to Customer and
Secured Party should Secured Party fail to make any payment when due to Wells
Fargo from Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement.  Secured Party and
Customer agree that the Restricted Account may be closed as provided in the
Account Documentation, provided, however, that any closure of the Restricted
Account prior to termination of this Agreement shall require the prior written
consent of Secured Party.  The rights of Wells Fargo and the obligations of
Customer and Secured Party under Sections 17, 18, 20, 21and 22 of this Agreement
will survive the termination of this Agree­ment and/or the closure of the
Restricted Account, and any liability of any party to this Agreement, as
determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or
omissions of such party prior to such termina­tion or closure will also survive
such termination or closure.  Upon any termination of this Agreement and the
Service or closure of the Restricted Account all collected balances in the
Restricted Account on the date of such termination or closure will be
transferred to Secured Party as requested by Secured Party in writing to Wells
Fargo.

             23.  MODIFICATIONS, AMENDMENTS, AND WAIVERS.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, with respect to changes to the Secured
Party Account, or the transfer instructions in this Agreement, this Agreement
­may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a
writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Wells Fargo Fees may be changed after thirty (30) calendar days prior written
notice to Customer and Secured Party.

             24.  NOTICES.  All notices from one party to another shall be in
writing, or be made by a tele­communica­tions device capable of creating a
written record (which shall, for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be
notice given in writing), shall be delivered to Customer, Secured Party and/or
Wells Fargo at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this
Agreement, or any other address of any party notified to the other parties in
writing, and shall be effective upon receipt.  Any notice sent by one party to
this Agreement to another party shall also be sent to the third party to this
Agreement.  Wells Fargo is authorized by Customer and Secured Party to act on
any instructions or notices received by Wells Fargo if (a) such instructions or
notices purport to be made in the name of Secured Party, (b) Wells Fargo
reasonably believes that they are so made, and (c) they do not conflict with the
terms of this Agree­ment as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless
such conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order.

             25.  COSTS AND EXPENSES.  If Wells Fargo is successful in enforcing
its rights and privileges under this Agreement against Customer or Secured Party
or if Customer or Secured Party is successful in enforcing its rights and
privileges under this Agreement against Wells Fargo, the party against whom such
rights and privileges are enforced agrees to reimburse the enforcing party
immediately upon demand, without setoff or counterclaim, for any and all costs,
expenses and/or attorneys' fees paid, suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon,
the enforcing party directly or indirectly as a result of, or in any way
connected with, such enforcement.

             26.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Neither Customer nor Secured Party
may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any
person or entity without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no such consent will
be required in the case of an assignment or transfer by Secured Party if the
assignee is a bank affiliate of Secured Party.  Wells Fargo may not assign its
rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the
prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if the
assignee is a bank affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

             27.  GOVERNING LAW.  Customer and Secured Party understand that
Wells Fargo’s provision of the Service under this Agreement is subject to
federal laws and regulations.  To the extent that such federal laws and
regulations are not applicable, this Agreement will be governed by and be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

             28.  SEVERABILITY.  To the extent that this Agreement or the
Service to be provided under this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited
or unenforceable under, any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and be
deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. 
Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed unenforceable or invalid in any
jurisdiction shall not effect the enforceability or validity of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.

             29.  USURY.  It is never the intention of Wells Fargo to violate
any applicable usury or interest rate laws.  Wells Fargo does not agree to, or
intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively,
“charge or collect”) any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a
fee, penalty or other charge which would in any way or event cause Wells Fargo
to charge or collect more than the maximum Wells Fargo would be permitted to
charge or collect by any applicable federal or state law.  Any such excess
interest or unauthorized fee shall, notwithstanding anything stated to the
contrary in this Agreement, be applied first to reduce the amount owed, if any,
and then any excess amounts will be refunded.

             30.  TAX REPORTING.  Until the Secured Party notifies Wells Fargo
to use a different name and number, Wells Fargo will make all reports relating
to the Collateral to all federal, state and local tax authorities under the name
and tax identification number of the Customer.

             31.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

             32.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, together with the Account
Documentation, contains the entire and only agreement among all the parties to
this Agreement and between Wells Fargo and Customer and Wells Fargo and Secured
Party with respect to (a) the Service, (b) the interest of Secured Party and the
Lenders in the Collateral, and (c) Wells Fargo's obligations to Secured Party
and the Lenders in connection with the Collateral.

representatives of Customer, Secured Party and Wells Fargo on the date specified
