         Legal Effect. This Agreement constitutes, and any instrument or

         respective terms.

         Properties. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as previously
         disclosed in Borrower's financial statements or in writing to Lender
         and as accepted by Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes

         period of Borrower's ownership of the Collateral, there has been no

                                  Page 6 of 45

         (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 matters. (3) Neither Borrower nor
         any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the
         Collateral shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of
         or release any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from any of the
         Collateral; and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with
         all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and
         ordinances, including without limitation all Environmental Laws.
         Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Collateral
         to make 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 by Lender shall be at
         Borrower's expense and for Lender's purposes only and 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) releases and waives any future claims
         against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower
         becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (2)
         agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and
         all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which
         Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting 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, or as a
         result of a violation of any Environmental Laws. The provisions of this
         section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify and
         defense, 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.

         Taxes. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, all of Borrower's tax
         returns 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.

         Lien Priority. Unless otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in
         writing, 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 accordance with their respective terms.

         including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or

         Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement
         providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any
         way by any act, omission or default of Borrower or any other person. In
         connection with all policies coverage assets in which Lender holds or
         is offered a security interest for the Loans, Borrower will provide

         agreements, whether now or hereafter existing, between Borrower and any

         affairs in a reasonable and prudent manner.

         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.

         other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts,

         maintains any records (including without limitation computer generated
         records and computer software programs for the generation of such
         records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of
         Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such
         records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of
         any records it may request, all at Borrower's expense.

         Environmental Compliance and Reports. Borrower shall comply in all
         respects with 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

                                  Page 9 of 45
<page>

         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, line, citation, directive, letter or
         other communication from any governmental agency or instrumentality
         concerning any intentional or unintentional action or omission on
         Borrowers part in connection with any environmental activity whether or
         not 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:

         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

                                 Page 10 of 45
<page>

setoff all sums owing on the debt against any and all such accounts, and, at
Lender's option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to
protect Lender's charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

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

         Borrower.

         Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related

         interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

         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.

         respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor

other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
further Loan Advances or disbursement), 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

and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit

         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 or
         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

<page>

         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 Oregon without regard to its conflicts of law
         provisions. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of
         Oregon.

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

         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 limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word
         "Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's
         subsidiaries and 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.

                                 Page 14 of 45

         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
         interests 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, which ever is the last to occur.

         Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of
         this Agreement.

         Waive Jury. All parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any
         jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by any
         party against any other party.
