   all of Borrower's properties free and clear of all Security Interests, and
   has not executed any security documents or financing statements relating to
   such properties.  All of Borrower's properties are titled in Borrower's
   legal name, and Borrower has not used, or filed a financing statement under,
   any other name for at least the last five (5) years.

   HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.  The terms "hazardous waste," "hazardous substance,"
   "disposal," "release," and "threatened release," as used in this Agreement,
   shall have the same meanings as set forth in the "CERCLA," "SARA," the
   Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq., the
   Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq., or
   other applicable state or Federal laws, rules, or regulations adopted
   pursuant to any of the foregoing.  Except as disclosed to and acknowledged
   by Lender in writing, Borrower represents and warrants that: (a) During the
   period of Borrower's ownership of the properties, there has been no use,
   generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened
   release of any hazardous waste or substance by any person on, under, about
   or from any of the properties.  (b) Borrower has no knowledge of, or reason
   to believe that there has been (i) any use, generation, manufacture,
   storage, treatment, disposal, release, or threatened release of any
   hazardous waste or substance on, under, about or from the properties by any
   prior owners or occupants of any of the properties, or (ii) any actual or
   threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person relating to such
   matters.  (c) Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other
   authorized user of any of the properties shall use, generate, manufacture,
   store, treat, dispose of, or release any hazardous waste or substance on,
   under, about or from any of the properties; and any such activity shall be
   conducted in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
   regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation those laws,
   regulations and ordinances described above.  Borrower authorizes Lender and
   its agents to enter upon the properties to make such inspections and tests
   as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the properties
   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 properties for hazardous
   waste and hazardous substances.  Borrower hereby (a) 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 (b) agrees to indemnify 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
   occurring prior to Borrower's ownership or interest in the properties,
   whether or not the same was or should have been known to Borrower.  The
   provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to
   indemnify, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the
   termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not be affected by
   Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the properties, 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.

   the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been
   provided.

   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

   or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower's Loan and Note and all of the
   Related Documents are binding upon Borrower as well as upon Borrower's

   that Lender, without independent investigation, is relying upon the above
   representations and warranties in extending Loan Advances to Borrower.

   of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or
   certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
   stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at

   (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may
   pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in
   amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make
   estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and
   state law which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a

any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (b) Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent,

in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral
securing any Loan; (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.

interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to
Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts
with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts,
and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be
prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by

   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 or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under this
   Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
   respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at any
   time thereafter.

   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.

   MULTIPLE PARTIES; CORPORATE AUTHORITY.  All obligations of Borrower under
   this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
   shall mean each and every Borrower.  This means that each of the persons
   signing below is responsible for ALL obligations in 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 Loans 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 it may have
   with respect to such matters.  Borrower additionally waives any and all
   notices of sale of 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 Loans and will have all the rights
   granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale
   of such participation interests.  Borrower further waives all rights of
   offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or
   against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally
   agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's
   obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any
   holder of any interest in the Loans.  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.

   COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
   expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
   connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
   collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
   to this Agreement.  Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans
   and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount.  This
   includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys'
   fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit,
   including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
   modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
   anticipated post-judgment collection services.  Borrower also will pay any
   court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

   NOTICES.  All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
   given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile, and shall be effective when
   actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
   courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage
   prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the
   address shown above.  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.
   To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one
   Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers.
   For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at all times of
   Borrower's current address(es).

   SEVERABILITY.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
   this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable to any person or circumstance,
   such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to
   any other persons or circumstances.  If feasible, any such offending
   provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of
   enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so
   modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in
   all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  All covenants and agreements contained by or on
   behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
   the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns.  Borrower shall not,
   however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
   interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

   SURVIVAL.  All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
   in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
   Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
   relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
   to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
   Lender or on Lender's behalf.

   TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence in the performance of this
   Agreement.

   WAIVER.  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
   obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor 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 in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
   and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
   discretion of Lender.
