                         SECOND LOAN EXTENSION AGREEMENT

               This Second Loan Extension Agreement ("Agreement") is entered
into on February 26, 1999 (and is effective as of January 1, 1999), between U.S.
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("U.S. Bank") and DAW TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Daw").

                                    RECITALS

               A. On or about April 17, 1998, Daw and U.S. Bank entered into a
loan agreement. The loan agreement was modified and amended by the terms of a
modification and forbearance agreement dated September 10, 1998, and a loan
extension agreement dated November ____, 1998, which operated, among other
things, to extend the maturity date of the Note (as defined below) to December
31, 1998. The above-described loan agreement, as amended, is referred to herein
as the "Loan Agreement."

               B. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, U.S. Bank
provides a revolving credit facility and a letter of credit facility to Daw.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined herein shall have
the meaning assigned to those terms in the Loan Agreement.

               C. Daw is obligated to U.S. Bank pursuant to a promissory note
dated August 6, 1997, in the principal amount of $8,000,000 (the "Note"). As of
February 11, 1999, Daw owes U.S. Bank the principal amount of $_______________
and accrued interest of $__________ pursuant to the Note.

               D. Interest continues to accrue on Daw's obligations to U.S. Bank
pursuant to the Note on and after February ___, 1999. In addition, Daw is
obligated to reimburse U.S. Bank (or pay directly if requested to do so by U.S.
Bank) for fees and costs incurred by U.S. Bank in connection with its banking
relationship with Daw, including attorney fees.

               E. The debts and obligations of Daw to U.S. Bank pursuant to the
Loan Agreement and the Note are referred to below collectively as the
"Indebtedness."

               F. The Indebtedness is secured by security interests and liens
in, among other things, all of Daw's existing and after-acquired accounts,
chattel paper, contract rights, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, and
inventory (and the products and proceeds of all of those assets). The security
agreements executed by Daw that grant the security interests and liens described
in the preceding sentence are referred to below as the "Security Agreements."
The personal property of Daw in which security interests and liens have been
granted in favor of U.S. Bank pursuant to the Security Agreements is referred to
below as the "Collateral."

               G. The Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreements, and the
other documents executed by Daw in favor of U.S. Bank are referred to herein as
the "Loan Documents."

               H. The credit commitment extended by U.S. Bank to Daw pursuant to
the Loan Agreement has expired. U.S. Bank in its discretion has made certain
advances to Daw following the expiration of the revolving credit facility
governed by the Loan Agreement. Daw has asked U.S. Bank to extend the Maturity
Date of the Note and the revolving credit facility extended by U.S. Bank to Daw.
U.S. Bank is willing to do so, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

               NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and

of this Agreement, or the agreement evidenced hereby; the preservation,
protection, or disposition of the Collateral (or U.S. Bank's security interests
therein); or as required by applicable law, rules, policies, and regulations.
The amounts owed by Daw pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Agreement are
part of the Indebtedness and shall be paid by Daw within ten days of the date
U.S. Bank provides Daw with written notice requesting payment of such costs and
expenses, or on March 31, 1999, whichever occurs first.

               3.3 Release of Claims. Daw hereby releases and forever discharges

officers, directors, and attorneys, and each of them, of and from any and all
claims, demands, damages, suits, rights, defenses, offsets, or causes of action
of every kind and nature that Daw has or may have as of the date it executes
this Agreement, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, foreseen or
unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, including, but not limited to, all claims
for compensatory, general, special, consequential, incidental, and punitive
damages, attorney fees, and equitable relief, other than U.S. Bank's obligations
under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement (as modified hereby).

               3.4 Forbearance with Respect to Existing Defaults. Daw hereby
acknowledges and agrees that it is in default with respect to various terms and
conditions of the Loan Agreement, including the tangible net worth covenant and
the debt service coverage covenant specified therein. Daw's existing defaults

assign, without notice to or consent by Daw, any or all of the powers, rights,
title, and interests held by U.S. Bank under this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
or any other agreements between the parties to this Agreement (or among those
parties and any third party or parties). Those agreements may not be assigned by

consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and entirely without
effect.

               5.2 Captions. Any captions for the sections of this Agreement are

any of the provisions of this Agreement.

               5.3 Severability. If any term, condition, or provision of this
Agreement, or any other document or instrument referred to in this Agreement, is
held invalid for any reason, such offending term, condition, or provision shall
be stricken therefrom, and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.

               5.4 Amendments. The Loan Documents may be amended or modified

Agreement, references in the Loan Agreement to the "Agreement" mean the Loan
Agreement, as amended hereby.

               5.6 Negotiated Agreement. This Agreement is a negotiated
agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, such ambiguity shall
not be subject to a rule of contract interpretation that would cause the

agreement of any kind or nature, other than those that have been reduced to
writing and set forth herein, has been made among U.S. Bank and Daw. Daw

of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other
agreements or instruments referred to in this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.

               5.9 Waivers. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the
Loan Documents, or any other agreement between the parties hereto, nor consent
to any failure by Daw to comply with such provisions, shall be effective unless

consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.

               5.10 Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan
Documents to the contrary, the Loan Documents, this Agreement, and any other
instruments or agreements required or contemplated hereunder shall be governed
by, and construed under, the laws of the state of Oregon without regard to
principles of conflicts of law.
