         (c)      a proceeding with respect to Borrower is commenced under any
                  applicable law for the benefit of creditors, including but not

                  or other officer having similar powers over Borrower is
                  entered; and

         (b)      any remedy available to Lender under any agreement
                  guaranteeing or securing the performance of any of the
                  obligations of Borrower under this Note or any of the

11.      Waiver.

         (a)      Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of
                  dishonor or nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and lack

                  or postpone the due date of any payment required by this Note
                  without affecting Borrower's liability.

         (b)      No waiver will be binding on Lender unless it is in writing
                  and signed by Lender. Lender's waiver of a breach of a
                  provision of this Note will not be a waiver of any other
                  provision or a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same
                  provision.

12.      Severability. If a provision of this Note is determined to be
         unenforceable in any respect, the enforceability of the provision in
         any other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Note will not
         be impaired.

13.      Governing Law. This Note is governed by the laws of the State of
         Oregon, without giving effect to any conflict-of-law principle of any
         jurisdiction.

14.      Venue. Any action or proceeding arising out of this Note will be
         litigated in courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon. Borrower
         consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or
         federal court located in Multnomah County, Oregon.

15.      Attorney's Fees. If any arbitration or litigation is instituted to
         interpret, enforce, or rescind this Note, including but not limited to
         any proceeding brought under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the
         prevailing party on a claim will be entitled to recover with respect to
         the claim, in addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing
         party's reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and expenses incurred at
         arbitration, at trial, on appeal, and on petition for review, as
         determined by the arbitrator or court.

16.      Costs and Expenses. If an event of default under this Note occurs and
         Lender does not institute any arbitration or litigation, Borrower will
         pay to Lender, upon Lender's demand, all reasonable costs and expenses,
         including but not limited to attorney's fees and collection fees,
         incurred by Lender in attempting to collect the indebtedness evidenced
         by this Note.
