payment of $26,041.67 per month plus accrued interest monthly beginning

principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full.
Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over an assumed year of 360 days. Borrower shall make
each payment under this Note not later than 12:00 p.m. (Noon),

     3.   This Note is mentioned in a Loan Agreement dated January 20,
1998, which has been amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement
dated July 23, 1998 and by the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated
of even date.  This Note, the Loan Agreement, as amended, and all other
documents defined in the Loan Agreement, as amended, as loan documents
shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents".

     4.   The obligations evidenced by this Note or the Loan
Agreement, as amended, are secured by the Security Agreements dated
January 20, 1998, and the Stock Pledge and Security Agreement dated of
even date from Unified Financial Services, Inc., which secures its
Guaranty dated of even date, in favor of the Bank.

     5.   If any amount due hereunder is past due for more than ten
(10) days Borrower will be charged five percent (5%) of the regularly
scheduled payment up to the maximum amount of $1,500.00 with a minimum
of $25.00 per late charge.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
defined hereinbelow, the interest rate on the entire principal balance
and all matured interest installments outstanding shall increase by
three percent (3%) per annum; provided, however, that the total interest
rate charged Borrower shall not exceed the maximum rate of interest
allowed by law and if such increased rate of interest exceeds the
maximum amount permitted under applicable law in such circumstances, the
amount of the increased interest rate shall be increased by such lesser
maximum amount as legally may be allowed, and Bank's entitlement to such
sum shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and
remedies available to Bank as a result of such overdue payment. If a law
which applies to this Note is interpreted so that the interest collected
or to be collected hereunder exceeds the legal amount, then the interest
rate charged hereunder shall be reduced by the amount necessary to
reduce the interest charged to the maximum legal amount and this Note
and all sums due hereunder shall immediately become due and payable in
full at the election of the holder hereof. It is agreed that all matured
interest installments outstanding shall also bear interest until paid at
the same rate that continues to accrue on the principal outstanding.

     6.   Bank and Borrower agree to binding arbitration as provided
in Section 8.18 of the Loan Agreement.

     7.   Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens:

default specified in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other
agreement now or hereafter arising between Borrower and Bank; (f) the
occurrence of any event which permits the acceleration of the maturity
of any indebtedness owing now or hereafter by Borrower to any third
party; or (g) the liquidation, termination, dissolution, death or legal
incapacity of Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of this
Note, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, or otherwise.

indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to Bank, whether now existing

and all action allowed the holder by law or equity, under the terms of

document securing or relating thereto, and under any other applicable
law or at equity, are and shall be cumulative to the greatest extent
permitted by law. The delay or failure of Bank or the holder hereof to
insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Note, or to
exercise any rights herein confirmed shall not be construed as a waiver
or relinquishment to any extent of Bank's or the holder's right to
assert or rely upon such terms or rights at any subsequent time or in
any other instance.

     10.  The Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors and all other
parties to this Note hereby:

               and

          (c)  waive any requirement of marshaling of assets and all
               other legal or equitable doctrines which might

               with respect to any other rights in any particular
               order and agree that the holder may elect not to
               proceed against any collateral securing this note and
               may instead seek to enforce and collect this note
               through whatever means may otherwise be available at

enforceable, and the validity and enforceability of all other provisions
of this Note and all other applications of any such provision shall not
be affected thereby.  In the event such provision(s) cannot be modified
to make it or them enforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of

enforceability of any other provision of this Note.

     19.  This Note shall bind the heirs, successors and assigns of
Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and
assigns. Borrower shall not assign or allow the assumption of its rights
