accrues on the Loan for such month at the Interest Rate, Borrower shall pay the
difference to Lender on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the following

     sole discretion, is willing to consent to a transfer which would otherwise
     be prohibited by this Section 7.2(b) Lender may condition its consent on
     such terms as it desires, including, without limitation, an increase in the
     Interest Rate and the requirement that Borrower pay a transfer fee,

     granting of such consent (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees).

     encumbered by the Pledged Deeds of Trust as of the date of this Agreement
     will be amended or modified by Borrower. The prohibitions in this section
     7.2(c) shall not be applicable to contracts or agreements which either (i)
     are for a nonrenewable term of one (1) year or less or (ii) require the
     payment by the parties thereto of a total amount which is less than
     $25,000.00.

          7.2(d)  No Further Encumbrances. Borrower will not allow any Liens

     or reduce their fair market value.

          7.2(g)  Name Change. Borrower will not change its name and will not
                  ------------
     change its principal place of business to a location outside of Clark
     County, Nevada without (i) giving Lender at least thirty (30) days prior
     notice of the new name or address and (ii) providing to Lender such
     executed documents required to ensure the continued perfection of the
     Lender's lien in any Collateral in which it has a perfected security
     interest.

          7.2(h)  Financial Covenants. Preferred Equities Corporation will not
                  --------------------

     thereof, the consolidated net worth of the corporation and its
     subsidiaries, as determined in accordance with GAAP, after deducting the
     value of patents, trademarks, goodwill and other intangible assets and the
     value of assets treated as "questionable" by the accounting firm which
     shall have prepared such corporation's most recent financial statement. It
     is agreed that deferred selling expenses determined in accordance with GAAP
     shall not be classified as intangible assets.

     proposed to be pledged to Lender unless prior to taking any such actions,
     Borrower delivers to Lender (i) written statements by the applicable state
     authorities, in form acceptable to Lender, stating that no registration is
     necessary for the sale of Lots in the particular state, (ii) an opinion of
     counsel in form acceptable to Lender and rendered by counsel acceptable to
     Lender, stating that no such registrations are necessary, or (iii) such
     other evidence of compliance with applicable laws as Lender may require.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to deliver
     the written statement described in (i) above with respect to any state
     which does not have a governmental agency or governmental authority which
     enforces or interprets laws or regulations of such state regarding the sale
     of real property or interests in real property in such state.

     file for renewal of any license, permit, franchise, or contract now held or
     hereafter acquired by Borrower which is necessary for the continued sale of

                                   ---------

                                   REMEDIES
                                   --------

     9.1  Remedies Upon Default. Should an Event of Default occur and be
          ----------------------
continuing, Lender may take any one or more of the actions described in this
Section 9, all without notice to Borrower except as otherwise provided herein or
as required by applicable law:

          9.1(a) Acceleration. Without prior demand or notice of any nature
                 -------------
     whatsoever, declare by notice to Borrower the unpaid balance of the
     Indebtedness, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon
     the same shall be due and payable.

          9.1(b) Termination of Obligation to Advance. Terminate any commitment
                 -------------------------------------

                 ---------
     otherwise enforce Lender's security interest in all or any part of the

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

     provided, however, that notwithstanding that the Pledged Notes Receivable
     have been endorsed in the manner provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement,
     Lender's recourse against Borrower under any Pledged Notes Receivable shall
     be limited to an amount not exceeding the unpaid amounts owed by Borrower
     to Lender under the Note and this Agreement.

          9.1(d) Sale of Collateral. After notification, if any, provided for
                 -------------------
     in Section 9.2 below, sell or otherwise dispose of, at the office of
     Lender, or elsewhere, as chosen by Lender, all or any part of the
     Collateral, and any such sale or other disposition may be as a unit or in
     parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more
     contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral
     shall not exhaust Lender's power of sale, but sales may be made from time
     to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Indebtedness
     has been paid in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to
     exhibit the Collateral.

          9.1(e) Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, retain such portion
                 ------------------------
     of the Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to the
     Indebtedness, in satisfaction of the Indebtedness, whenever the
     circumstances are such that Lender is entitled to do so under the
     applicable law.

          9.1(f) Receiver. Apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for
                 ---------
     appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and
     Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment.

          9.1(g) Purchase of Collateral. Buy the Collateral at any public sale,
                 -----------------------
     or buy the Collateral at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type
     customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the
     subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.

          9.1(h) Exercise of Other Rights. Exercise any and all other rights or
                 -------------------------
     remedies afforded by any applicable laws or by the Loan Documents as Lender
     shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, but not
     limited to, the right to bring suit or other proceeding, either for
     specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in the Loan
     Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to
     Lender in the Loan Documents.

     9.2  Notice of Sale. Reasonable notification of time and place of any
          ---------------
public sale of the Collateral or reasonable notification of the time after which
any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made
shall be sent to Borrower and to any other person entitled under the Code to
notice; provided, however, that if the Collateral threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender may
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without notification, advertisement
or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not less than fifteen
(15) calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which such notice
relates is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Section
9.2.

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

     9.3  Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the
          -----------------------------------------------------
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, with
or without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment of the
Indebtedness, without prior notice, terminate Lender's further performance under
this Agreement or any other agreement or agreements between Lender and Borrower,
without further liability or obligation by Lender, and may also, at any time,
appropriate and apply on any Indebtedness any and all Collateral in its
possession, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves,
indebtedness or other moneys due or owing to Borrower held by Lender hereunder
or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not.
Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of
time, the giving of notice or otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise
affect the liability of Borrower in respect of transactions prior to such
termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers and
remedies of Lender, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of the
Indebtedness is satisfied.

     9.4  Rights of Lender Regarding Collateral. In addition to all other rights
          --------------------------------------
possessed by Lender, Lender, at its option, may from time to time after an Event
of Default, and so long as such Event of Default remains uncured, at its sole
discretion, take the following actions:

     9.5  Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may execute any of its duties
          --------------------------------
and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or
through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or other
representatives.

     9.6  Lender Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions
          ----------------------
contained in this Agreement shall give Lender the right or power or obligation
to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower.

     9.7  Waivers. The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time of
          --------
partial payments of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default then existing unless such payment is in the amount demanded by
Lender. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by
Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall impair
such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right
or remedy under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Further, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Borrower and each and
every surety, endorser, guarantor and other party liable for the payment or
performance of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, severally waive notice of
the occurrence of any Event of Default, presentment, protest, and notice of
protest and notice of intention to accelerate, and agree that their liability
shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the
Indebtedness, or by any release or change permitted hereunder in any security
for the payment or performance of the Indebtedness, regardless of the number of
such renewals, extensions, releases or changes.

     9.8  Cumulative Rights.  Except to the extent prohibited by law, and except
          ------------------
as otherwise specifically provided hereunder, all rights and remedies available
to Lender under the

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights and
remedies granted to Lender at law or in equity, whether or not the Indebtedness
is due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted any suit for
collection or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.

     9.9   Expenditures by Lender. Any sums expended by or on behalf of Lender
           -----------------------
pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein shall become
part of the Indebtedness and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of
such expenditure until the date repaid.

     9.10  Diminution in Value of Collateral. Lender shall not have any
           ----------------------------------
liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of
any of the Collateral, specifically including that which may arise from Lender's
negligence or inadvertence, whether such negligence or inadvertence is the sole
or concurring cause of any damage, but specifically excluding any diminution or
loss in value which is proximately caused by Lender's gross negligence, willful
misconduct or commercially unreasonable conduct.

     9.11  Indemnification of Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to protect, defend
           --------------------------
and indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, indebtedness, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender, in
any way relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement and the Loan Documents
and/or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated therein or thereby (including,
without limitation, those in any way relating to or arising out of the violation
of any federal or state laws including ILSFDA or the Lot Sales Acts), and
including those that may result from Lender's negligence or inadvertence, Such
indemnification shall not give Borrower any right to participate in the
selection of counsel for Lender or the conduct or settlement of any dispute or
proceeding for which indemnification may be claimed. It is the express intention
of the parties hereto that the indemnity provided for in this Section 9.11, as
well as the disclaimers of liability referred to in this Agreement, are intended
to and shall protect and indemnify Lender from the consequences of Lender's own
negligence, whether or not that negligence is the sole or concurring cause of
any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, claim,
cost, expense or disbursement, But specifically excluding from such indemnity
any consequences proximately caused by Lender's gross negligence, willful
misconduct or commercially unreasonable conduct. Lender agrees to give Borrower
written notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of action or
lawsuit described in this Section 9.11.

     In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose
certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of Collateral comprised of
Securities may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that upon
the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default, Lender may, from time to
time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private
placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to whose who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for, or
with a view to, distribution. In so doing, Lender may solicit offers to buy such
Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of investors
deemed by Lender, in its reasonable judgment, to be

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if
Lender solicits such offers from not less than four (4) such investors, then the
acceptance by Lender of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to
be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.

                                  SECTION 10
                                  ----------

                           CERTAIN RIGHTS OF LENDER
                           ------------------------

     10.1  Protection of Collateral.  Lender may at any time and from time to
           -------------------------
time take such actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to protect
Lender's liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral, all at
the expense of Borrower. Borrower agrees to cooperate fully with all of Lender's
efforts to preserve the Collateral and Lender's liens and security interests
therein and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral and Lender's liens
and security interests therein as Lender may direct. All of Lender's expenses of
preserving the Collateral and its liens and security interests therein shall be
added to the Indebtedness.

     10.2  Performance by Lender. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement
           ----------------------
contained herein, Lender may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by Borrower under Section 7.1(dd) above. In no event, however, shall
Lender have any obligation or duties whatsoever to perform any covenant or
agreement of Borrower contained herein, and any such performance by Lender shall
be wholly discretionary with Lender. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that
Lender shall not at any time or under any circumstances whatsoever have any duty
to Borrower or to any third party to exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies
hereunder.

     10.3  No Liability of Lender. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement by
           -----------------------
Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by Lender, shall be construed
in any way as an assumption by Lender of any obligations, responsibilities or
duties of Borrower arising in connection with the Collateral or otherwise bind
Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to the Collateral, it
being expressly understood that Lender shall not be obligated to perform,
observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of
Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to,
appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or incurring any
expense in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither
this Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Lender taken hereunder, nor
the acquisition of the Notes Receivable and the Deeds of Trust by Lender
following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall constitute an assumption
by Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Notes Receivable,
the Deeds of Trust or any documents or instruments executed in connection
therewith, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations
thereunder. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Sections 9.10 and 9.11
hereof, Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lender harmless
from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages,
liabilities, suits, costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and court costs, asserted against or incurred by Lender by
reason of, arising out of, or connected in any way with (i) any failure or
alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants or obligations to
the Purchasers of any of the

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

Notes Receivable, (ii) a breach of any certification, representation, warranty
or covenant of Borrower set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the ownership of the
Notes Receivable, the Deeds of Trusts and the rights, titles and interests
assigned hereby, or intended so to be, (iv) the debtor-creditor relationships
between Borrower and the Purchasers, or (v) the Notes Receivable, the Deeds of
Trust or the sale of Lots. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify, protect,
defend and hold Lender harmless as provided herein are absolute, unconditional,
present and continuing, and shall not be dependent upon or affected by the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any claim, demand or suit
from which Lender is indemnified. Borrower hereby waives all notices with
respect to any losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs and expenses, and all
other demands whatsoever hereby indemnified, and agrees that its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to
above, which might otherwise constitute legal or equitable discharges of its
obligations hereunder.

     10.4  Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. Lender may, at Borrower's
           ------------------------------------------
expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity which
Lender in good faith believes may affect the security interests granted under
this Agreement.

     10.5  [Intentionally Omitted].
           ------------------------

     10.6  Lender's Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
           --------------------------
Default, or if Lender shall be served with garnishment process in which Borrower
shall be named as defendant, whether or not any Event of Default shall have
occurred, Lender may, but shall not be required to, set-off any indebtedness
owing by Lender to Borrower against any of the Indebtedness without first
resorting to the security hereunder and without prejudice to any other rights or
remedies of Lender or its security interest herein.

     10.7  No Waiver.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right
           ----------
or remedy hereunder and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, then in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as if
no such proceeding had been taken. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in
exercising any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or in giving or
insisting upon strict performance by Borrower hereunder or in giving notice
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and
no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or
right. Lender, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter
to insist upon the strict performance by Borrower of any and all of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Borrower. The collection and
application of proceeds, the entering and taking possession of the Collateral,
and the exercise of the rights of Lender contained in the Loan Documents and
this Agreement shall not cure or waive any default, or affect any notice of
default, or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No waiver by
Lender of any breach or default of or by any party hereunder shall be deemed to
alter or affect Lender's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or
subsequent default.

     10.8  Right of Lender to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release
           --------------------------------------------------------------
Security,
---------

                                      -55-
<PAGE>

Etc.  Without affecting the liability of any person or entity for the payment of
----
any of the Indebtedness or the lien of this Agreement on the Collateral, or the
remainder thereof, for the full amount of the Indebtedness unpaid, Lender may
from time to time, without notice and without affecting or impairing the
security interest or rights of Lender granted or arising under this Agreement:
(a) release any person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, (b) extend
the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of the Indebtedness, (c) accept
additional security for the Indebtedness of any kind, including deeds of trust
or mortgages and security agreements, (d) alter, substitute or release any
property securing the Indebtedness, (e) resort for the payment of all or any
portion of the Indebtedness to its several securities therefor in such order and
manner as it may deem fit, or (f) join in any subordination or other agreement
affecting this Agreement or the lien or charge thereof. Notwithstanding the
provisions of subparagraph (d) in this Section 10.8 to the contrary, Lender
shall have the right to take the actions described in Section 9.4(c) only after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

     10.9   Assignment of Lender's Interest. Lender shall have the right to
            --------------------------------
assign all or any portion of its rights in this Agreement to any subsequent
holder or holders of the Indebtedness; provided however, that if any such
assignment is made to any Person other than TFC or any of its subsidiaries, such
assignment shall include an amendment to this Agreement deleting clause (iv) of
Section 1.1(y) of this Agreement.

     10.10  Notice to Purchaser. Borrower authorizes each of Lender, the
            --------------------
Collection Agent and the Custodian (but neither Lender, Collection Agent nor the
Custodian shall be obligated) to communicate at any time and from time to time
with any Purchaser or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable under a
Pledged Note Receivable with regard to the Lien of Lender thereon and any other
matter relating thereto. Borrower agrees to notify each Purchaser in writing of
the assignment to Lender of its respective Pledged Note Receivable and to direct
such Purchaser to remit all payments thereunder to the Collection Agent or, if
permitted under this Agreement of the Lockbox Agreement, to such other Person as
Lender may designate.

     10.11  Collection of the Notes. Borrower hereby directs and authorizes each
            ------------------------
party liable for the payment of the Pledged Notes Receivable to pay each
installment thereon to the Collection Agent pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement
unless and until directed otherwise by written notice from Lender if permitted
under this Agreement or the Lockbox Agreement, after which such parties are
directed to make all further payments on the Pledged Notes Receivable in
accordance with the directions of Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to require that
all payments becoming due under the Pledged Notes Receivable be paid directly to
Lender or Lender's designee, and Lender or Lender's designee is hereby
authorized to receive, collect, hold and apply the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event that upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender or Collection Agent does not
receive any installment of principal or interest due and payable under any of
the Pledged Notes Receivable on or prior to the date upon which such installment
becomes due, Lender may, at its election (but without any obligation to do so),
give or cause Collection Agent to give notice of such default to the defaulting
party or parties, and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable
in default in accordance

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

with applicable law and to foreclose each of the Pledged Deeds of Trust securing
the payment thereof in accordance with applicable law, and to enforce any other
remedies available to the holder of such Pledged Notes Receivable with respect
to such default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower hereby further authorizes, directs and empowers Lender to
collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to
endorse such checks or drafts in the name of Borrower and upon such
endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor. The right to endorse
checks and drafts granted pursuant to the preceding sentence is irrevocable by
Borrower, and the banks or banks paying such checks or drafts upon such
endorsements, as well as the signers of the same, shall be as fully protected as
though the checks or drafts have been endorsed by Borrower.

     10.12  Power of Attorney. Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and
            ------------------
appoint Lender as Borrower's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution, for Borrower and in Borrower's name, place and
stead, or otherwise, to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and while it
is continuing: (a) endorse any checks or drafts payable to Borrower in the name
of Borrower and in favor of Lender as provided in Section 10.11 above, (b)
demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights, titles,
interests and liens hereby sold, assigned and transferred, or intended so to be,
and to give receipts for same, (c) institute and prosecute in the name of
Borrower or otherwise, but for the benefit of Lender, any and all proceedings at
law, in equity, or otherwise, that Lender may deem proper in order to collect,
assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any kind, in and to the
property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned or
transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any and all
actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the said property, rights,
titles, interests and liens, and (d) generally do all and any such acts and
things in relation to the Collateral as Lender shall in good faith deem
advisable. Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers
granted pursuant to this Section 10.12 are coupled with an interest and are and
shall be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, unless and
until a release of the same is executed by Lender and duly recorded in the
appropriate public records of the States of Nevada and Colorado.

                                  SECTION 11
                                  ----------

                               TERM OF AGREEMENT
                               -----------------

     This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the security
interests granted hereby (except as otherwise provided in the second sentence of
Section 3.1 and the proviso clause of Section 10.9 hereof) and the duties,
covenants and liabilities of Borrower hereunder and all the terms, conditions
and provisions hereof relating thereto (except for the provisions of Section
9.11 and Section 10.3 which shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
shall continue to be fully operative until all of the Indebtedness has been
satisfied in full. Borrower expressly agrees that if either Borrower or the
Guarantor makes any payment under this Agreement to Lender, which payment or any
part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, or otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, Common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the Indebtedness or any
part thereof intended to be satisfied and the

                                      -57-

           ---------
made by Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement,
document, instrument or certificate delivered by or on behalf of Borrower under
or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon
by Lender and shall survive the delivery to Lender of such Loan Documents and
the extension of the Indebtedness (and each part thereof), regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of Lender.

     12.3  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT
           --------------
AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA AND ALL APPLICABLE

     12.4  Limitation on Interest. All agreements between Lender and Borrower,
           -----------------------
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or
acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the interest
contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance
whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the
maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the
maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance
Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in
excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of the Indebtedness and not
to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of principal of the Indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to
Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the
interest on the Indebtedness for such full period shall not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. Lender hereby expressly disclaims any intent
to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the
maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law. This Section 12.4 shall

future laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully
severable, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the remaining provisions hereof or
thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom.
Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there
shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement and/or the Loan
Documents (as the case may be) a provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and
enforceable.

     12.6   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
            -----------------------

assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of Lender.

as if the signature thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This
Agreement shall become effective upon Lender's receipt of one or more
counterparts hereof signed by Borrower and Lender.

     12.9   No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and
            --------
other professional persons retained by Lender shall have the right to act
exclusively in the interests of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure,
duty of loyalty, duty of care or other duty or obligation of any type or nature
whatsoever to Borrower or its shareholders or any other person or entity.

     12.10  Sender Not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower and Lender
            ---------------------
is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other
special relationship with Borrower, and no term or provision of any of the Loan
Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and
Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

in a writing executed by both Lender and Borrower. The failure or delay of
Lender to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, remedies, conditions or
other terms hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument executed in
connection herewith shall not operate as a waiver of any such rights, Liens,
powers, remedies, conditions or other terms.

            -----------
PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE

$10,000,000.00                                                     June __, 2001

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED and pursuant to the terms of this Promissory Note
("Note"), the undersigned, PREFERRED EQUITIES CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation
and Colorado Land and Grazing Corp., a Colorado corporation (collectively,
Preferred Equities Corporation and Colorado Land and Grazing Corp. are herein
referred to as "Maker"), jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of
DORFINCO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Lender") (the Lender and all
subsequent holders of this Note being hereinafter referred to as the "Holder")
at 10 Dorrance Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02903, Attention: Processing
Center, Manager or at such other place as the Holder hereof may designate in
writing, the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00),
or so much thereof as may be outstanding hereunder from time to time (the
"Loan"), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of such
indebtedness from time to time outstanding, at the rate or rates hereinafter set
forth.

1.   LOAN AGREEMENT.

     This Note is issued pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of
that certain First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement ("Loan
Agreement") dated as of June, 2001 as amended from time to time, between Maker,
as borrower and debtor, and Lender, as lender and secured party, to which
reference is hereby made for a complete description of the terms and conditions
under which advances evidenced hereby are made and are to be repaid. Payment of
this Note and all interest, fees and charges herein is secured as set forth in
the Loan Agreement and pursuant to such other documents, which recite that they
have been given as security for this Note (all the aforementioned documents,
including the Loan Agreement, shall herein be referred to as "Loan Documents").
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set
forth in the Loan Agreement.

2.   INTEREST RATE.

     On and after the date hereof (until maturity or default as hereinafter
provided), interest shall accrue and be due monthly in arrears at the rate per
annum of Two percent (2.0 %) above the "Prime Rate" as announced by The Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A. or successor thereto (the "Basic Interest Rate"), with the
Basic Interest Rate for any given calendar month being calculated by using the
Prime Rate in effect on the first (1st) day of each month during the term
hereof.  In the event The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., or successor thereto,
shall discontinue announcement of said Prime Rate, a comparable index designated
by Holder shall be used in calculating the Basic Interest Rate. Interest under
this Note shall be calculated hereunder for the actual number of days that
principal is outstanding based on a year of 360 days.

3.   PAYMENTS.

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

     Payments of the amounts due under this Note shall be made in accordance
with the Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to the following:

     (a)  Monthly Interest Payments. Commencing on the first (1st) day of July
          -------------------------
1, 2001 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each and every month thereafter
through and including December 1, 2005 all interest accrued at the Basic
Interest Rate shall be due and payable monthly in arrears.

     (b)  Principal Repayments and Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to the
          ----------------------------------------------
interest payments described in the preceding paragraph, Maker shall also make
such principal payments as may be required by the Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, any principal payments required pursuant to Section 2.4(a)
and any Mandatory Prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.5(c) thereof.

     (c)  Repayment on Maturity. On Maturity Date, as defined in the Loan
          ---------------------
Agreement, or on such earlier date as this Note becomes due and payable, whether
by acceleration or otherwise, the entire outstanding principal balance hereof,
together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums owing to
Holder hereunder or under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable in full.

4.   APPLICATION OF PAYMENT.

     All principal, interest and any other amounts due under this Note shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the place or places
above stated.  All payments shall be credited first to costs and expenses, if
any, incurred in good faith by Holder in collecting any amounts due hereunder,
second to any Late Charges (as hereinafter defined) and interest accrued at the
Default Rate, third to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter fourth to
principal and any other amounts due hereunder or under the Loan Documents.

5.   LATE PAYMENT CHARGES.

     In the event that any monthly payment is not received at the above said
address (or at such other place as is designated pursuant to the terms hereof)
before the tenth (10th) day after the due date thereof, in addition to any other
permitted charges hereunder, a one-time late payment fee shall be due and owing
to Holder in the amount of five percent (5%) of the delinquent portion of such
monthly payment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any Loan
Document, this paragraph is not intended to, and shall not, create any grace
period or indulgence by Holder with respect to the punctual payment by Maker of
all sums owed Holder, nor shall this paragraph in any way hinder, prevent or
delay Holder from exercising any remedy which it may have hereunder or under any
Loan Document, or at law or in equity, with respect to Maker's failure timely to
make any payment when due. Maker acknowledges that the aforesaid late payment
fee is not imposed as a charge for the use of money, but rather is imposed as a
reasonable estimate of the administrative charges and other costs incurred by
Holder in dealing with loans not paid on time, and said late payment fee shall
in no way be deemed an interest charge. Nothing herein is intended or shall be
construed to require payment of a late charge or

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

late payment fee on any sums due other than the sums referred to in Paragraph 3
of this Note.

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

6.   INTEREST UPON DEFAULT.

     In the event that there occurs an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement, thereafter, the principal and accrued but unpaid interest amount then
due and payable hereunder shall bear interest from the due date thereof during
the continuance of such Event of Default until paid at the rate of two percent
(2%) per annum in excess of the Basic Interest Rate (the "Default Rate").

7.   ACCELERATION.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
the Loan Agreement or hereunder, Holder may at its option, in addition to any
other remedies to which it may be entitled, declare the total unpaid principal
balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, any applicable prepayment premium and all other sums
owing, immediately due and payable and all such amounts shall thereafter bear
interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, that no interest at the Default
Rate or otherwise, shall accrue on any late charges or prepayment premium. All
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition
precedent to the curing of any Event of Default should Holder, in its sole
discretion, allow such Event of Default to be cured. Time is of the essence in
this Note.

8.   PREPAYMENT.

     (a)  Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Agreement, this
Loan may not be prepaid prior to December 31, 2001.  On and after December 31,
2001, this Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole but not in part, upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Holder and upon payment, in addition to
such outstanding principal amount, all accrued and unpaid interest, all other
amounts then due and payable hereunder and a prepayment premium equal to one
percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance.

     (b)  Notwithstanding anything in Section 8 (a) above or elsewhere in this
Note or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, no prepayment premium
shall be charged with respect to any Mandatory Prepayment or prepayment pursuant
to Section 2.5(b) of the Loan Agreement.

     (c)  By placing its initials immediately following this paragraph, Maker
expressly agrees that, upon acceleration of the Maturity Date prior to December
31, 2005 as a result of any Event of Default, including without limitation, a
tender by Maker or by anyone on behalf of Maker of payment of the amount
necessary to satisfy the indebtedness evidenced hereby made at any time prior to
or at a foreclosure sale of the Collateral, shall constitute an evasion of the
prepayment terms hereof and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment
hereunder.  Therefore, Maker shall pay a prepayment premium with any such
prepayment in an amount equal to any amount which would have been due as a
prepayment premium pursuant to Section 8(a) above; provided however that the
obligation of Maker to pay a prepayment premium under this Section 8(c) is
expressly made subject to Section 9 below.  Maker expressly waives the
provisions of any present or future statute or law which prohibits or may
prohibit the collection

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

of the foregoing prepayment premium in connection with any such acceleration.

9.   LIMIT OF VALIDITY.

     All agreements between the Maker and the Holder hereof are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid
principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to the Holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to
be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under
applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any
provision hereof or of the Security Documents shall involve transcending the
limit of validity prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction
may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
                                  ----------
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and, if from any circumstance
the Holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed
the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not
to the payment of interest.  This provision shall control every other provision
of all agreements between the Maker and the Holder hereof.

10.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  Any remittances hereunder by check or draft shall be credited on the
date of receipt subject to the condition that such check or draft may be handled
for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks
and any receipt issued therefore shall be void unless the amount due is actually
received by Holder hereof.

     (b)  If interest, principal or other sum owing under this Note is not paid
when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, the Maker promises to pay all
costs of collection, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees and all
expenses incurred in good faith by the Holder in connection with the collection
of this Note, the protection or realization of the Collateral and enforcement of
any guaranty on account of such collection, whether or not suit is filed hereon.
Such fees shall include, without limitation, costs and attorneys' fees incurred
in good faith in any appeal.

     (c)  If more than one person has executed this Note or becomes obligated
under this Note, the obligations and covenants of each such person shall be
joint and several. The release by Holder of any party liable on this Note shall
not operate to release any other party liable hereon.

     (d)  This Note is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Nevada.

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

     (e)  All notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 12.1 of the
Loan Agreement.

     (f)  This Note may not be waived, changed, modified or discharged orally,
except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the
enforcement of waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

     (g)  The underlined words appearing at the commencement of the paragraphs
are included only as a guide to the contents thereof and are not to be
considered as controlling, enlarging or restructuring the language or meaning of
those paragraphs.

     (h)  As used herein, the terms "Maker" and "Holder" shall be deemed to
include their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns,
whether voluntary by action of the parties or involuntary by operation of law.

     (i)  The Maker hereby consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction
of the federal and state courts located in Clark County, Nevada in any and all
actions between the Maker and the Holder arising under or in connection with
this Note, the Loan or any of the Security Documents.

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF HOLDER'S ADVANCEMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL SUM HEREUNDER
IN THE AMOUNT OF $100.00, THE MAKER, BEING AN EXPERIENCED DEVELOPER AND
PARTICIPANT IN SOPHISTICATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES, AND HAVING CONSULTED WITH
COUNSEL OF ITS CHOOSING, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT
TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (I) BROUGHT BY THE MAKER, THE HOLDER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON RELATING TO (A) THE LOAN OR (B) THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, OR (II) TO WHICH
THE HOLDER IS A PARTY. THE MAKER HEREBY AGREES THAT THIS NOTE CONSTITUTES A
WRITTEN CONSENT TO WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE MAKER DOES HEREBY CONSTITUTE
AND APPOINT THE HOLDER ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, WHICH APPOINTMENT
IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, AND THE MAKER DOES HEREBY AUTHORIZE AND EMPOWER THE
HOLDER, IN THE NAME, PLACE AND STEAD OF THE MAKER, TO FILE THIS NOTE WITH THE
CLERK OR JUDGE OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AS A STATUTORY WRITTEN
CONSENT TO WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE MAKER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ITS WAIVER OF
TRIAL BY JURY HAS BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY MAKER AS
PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION.

REAFFIRMATION OF GUARANTY

     In order to induce Dorfinco Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having a
business and mailing address of 40 Westminster Street, P.O. Box 6687,
Providence, Rhode Island 02940-6687  ("Lender") to grant further credit to and
otherwise extend the obligations of Preferred Equities Corporation and Colorado
Land and Grazing Corp. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Borrower") and
for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned, Mego Financial
Corp., a New York corporation having a business address of 4310 Paradise Road,
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 ("Guarantor") hereby, unconditionally guarantees to
Lender the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge (whether upon
acceleration or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof) of all debts,
obligations and liabilities of Borrower to or held by Lender arising out of a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 31, 1991, between Lender and
Borrower, as amended January 8, 1992, June 30, 1993, August 23, 1994, September
30, 1995, November 29, 1996, June 11, 1998, December 31, 1998, June 30, 1999 and
December 15, 2000 and by a First Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Agreement"), whether direct or
contingent, whether due or to become due, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and whether created directly to or acquired by assignment or otherwise
by Lender together with any and all reasonable expenses of, for and incidental
to collection including reasonable attorneys' fees (the sums due Lender and the
above mentioned expenses and costs being collectively referred to herein as the
"Indebtedness").

     Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of the
extension of credit from time to time given by Lender to Borrower, and notice of
the creation, existence or acquisition of any Indebtedness and the amount
thereof from time to time, subject, however, to Guarantor's right to make
inquiry of Lender to ascertain the amount of the Indebtedness at any reasonable
time. Guarantor also waives notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial
condition or of any other fact which might increase Guarantor's risks, to notice
of presentment for payment, demand, protest and to notice thereof as to any
instrument, to notice of default, and to all other notices and demands to which
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled. Guarantor further waives the right to a
jury trial in any action hereunder and any right by statute or otherwise to
require Lender to institute suit against Borrower or to exhaust its rights and
remedies against Borrower, Guarantor being bound to the payment of all
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender whether now existing or hereafter accruing as
fully as if the Indebtedness was directly owing to Lender by Guarantor.
Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or
other defense of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of Borrower and any defense that other indemnity,
guaranty, or security was or is to be obtained. Nothing shall discharge or
satisfy the liability of Guarantor hereunder except the full performance and
payment of the Indebtedness. If Borrower or Guarantor should at any time become
insolvent or make a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a
petition in bankruptcy or any insolvency or reorganization proceedings shall be
filed or commenced by, against or with respect to Borrower or Guarantor, any and
all of the obligations of Guarantor shall forthwith become due and payable
without notice.

     Lender shall have a lien upon and/or right of setoff to any and all credits
and other property of Guarantor now or at any time whatsoever with, or in the
possession of, Lender or anyone holding for Lender as security for any and all
obligations of Guarantor to Lender, no matter how or when arising and whether
under this or any other instrument or agreement or otherwise.

     Without notice to or by Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, Lender may compromise or settle, extend the
period of duration or the time for the payment or

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

discharge or performance of, or may refuse to enforce or may release all or any
parties to any and all of the Indebtedness, or may grant other indulgences to
Borrower with respect thereto, or may amend or modify in any manner any
documents or agreements relating to the Indebtedness (other than this Guaranty),
or may release, surrender, exchange, modify, impair or extend the period of
duration or time for performance, discharge or payment of any and all deposits
and other property securing the Indebtedness or on which Lender at any time may
have a lien, or may refuse to enforce its rights, or may make any compromise or
settlement, or any agreement therefor, with respect to any and all of such
deposits and property or with any party to the Indebtedness or any other person,
firm or corporation whatsoever, or may release or substitute any one or more of
the guarantors of the Indebtedness whether parties to this instrument or not, or
may exchange, enforce, waive or release any security for any guaranty of the
Indebtedness.

     Lender shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of
Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Indebtedness.  Guarantor
further agrees that to the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender
which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state
or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such
payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had
not been made.

     Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which it
may now or hereafter have against the Borrower or any other person directly or
contingently liable for the Indebtedness, or against or with respect to the
Borrower's property (including, without limitation, property collateralizing the
Indebtedness), arising from the existence or performance of this guaranty. In
furtherance, and not in limitation, of the preceding waiver, the undersigned
agrees that any payment to Lender by Guarantor pursuant to this guaranty shall
be deemed a contribution to the capital of the Borrower and any such payment
shall not constitute the undersigned a creditor of any such party.

     Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Borrower to
Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the full payment of the Indebtedness by
Borrower to Lender, and as security for this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby
collaterally assigns to Lender all claims of any nature which any Guarantor may
now or hereafter have against Borrower.

     Guarantor agrees that the liability of Guarantor on this Guaranty shall be
immediate and not contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Lender of
whatever remedies it may have against Borrower or others, or the enforcement of
any lien or realization upon any security Lender may at any time possess.

     Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants to Lender, as an inducement to
Lender to grant credit to Borrower, that as of the date of this Guaranty the
fair saleable value of Guarantor's assets exceed Guarantor's liabilities;
Guarantor is meeting current liabilities as they mature; the financial
statements of Guarantor furnished Lender are true and correct and include in the
footnotes thereto all contingent liabilities of Guarantor; since the date of
said financial statement there have been no material adverse changes in the
financial conditions of Guarantor; there are not now pending any material court
or administrative proceedings or undischarged judgments against Guarantor and no
federal or state liens have been filed or threatened against Guarantor, nor is
Guarantor in default or claimed default under any agreement for borrowed money;
Guarantor shall immediately give Lender written notice of any material adverse
change in the Guarantor's financial conditions, including, but not limited to,
litigation commenced, tax liens filed, defaults claimed under any Guarantor's
indebtedness for borrowed money, or bankruptcy proceedings commenced by or
against Guarantor or any third party; Guarantor shall within 90 days of every
December 31 in which this Guaranty shall be in effect furnish to Lender
Guarantor's current financial statements and Guarantor shall also, upon the
request of lender, permit Lender or its representatives to inspect at
Guarantor's offices Guarantor's financial records and properties and make
extracts therefrom in order to evaluate the financial condition of Guarantor.

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

     This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of Guarantor and is an
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in
full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including
change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the issuance of
any obligations of Borrower to Lender or with respect to the execution and
delivery of any agreement between Borrower and Lender.

     Lender shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantor to the full
extent provided for herein and in any other document or instrument evidencing
obligations of Guarantor to Lender, and against Borrower, to the full extent
provided for in any loan agreement between Lender and Borrower.  No election to
proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any
obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Lender's right to proceed in any other
form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Lender has
expressly waived such right in writing.  Specifically, but without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Lender against Borrower
under any document or instrument evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall
serve to diminish the liability of Guarantor except to the extent Lender
realized payment by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any
such action or proceeding upon Guarantor's rights of subrogation against
Borrower.  Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of Borrower.
Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor's own independent
investigations and in no part upon any representation or statement of Lender
with respect thereto.  Guarantor is in a position to obtain and hereby assume
full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning
Borrower's financial condition as Guarantor may deem material to Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, and Guarantor is not relying upon nor expecting Lender to
furnish any information in Lender's possession concerning Borrower's financial
condition.  Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk
encompassed within a contract of "Guaranty," which risk includes, without
limitation, the possibility that Borrower will contract additional Indebtedness
for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after Borrower's financial condition
or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated.

     Guarantor agrees that all the rights, benefits and privileges herein and
hereby conferred upon Lender shall vest in and be enforceable by Lender, its
successors and assigns.

     This Guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted
according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  All actions or
proceedings arising directly or indirectly hereunder may, at the option of
Lender, be litigated in courts having situs within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and Guarantor hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of
any local, state or federal court located within said state and consents that
any service of process in such action or proceeding may be made by personal
service upon Guarantor wherever Guarantor may be then located or by certified or
registered mail directed to Guarantor at Guarantor's last known addresses.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has executed this Reaffirmation of Guaranty
this ___ day of June, 2001.

(the "Senior Lender");

                                  WITNESSETH:
                                  ----------

     WHEREAS, the Subordinated Lender is a party to a Reaffirmation of Guaranty,
dated as of June ___, 2001, (as amended from time to time, the "Guaranty"),
pursuant to which the Subordinated Lender has agreed to guaranty the loans made
by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to that certain First Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended from time to time, referred to
as the "LSA") dated as of June ____, 2001 between the Borrower and the Senior
Lender;

     WHEREAS, all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the
Borrower to the Senior Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under
the LSA and all other instruments and documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Senior
Debt"; and

     WHEREAS, all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the
Borrower to the Subordinated Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising,
resulting from loans or other accommodations to the Borrower from the
Subordinated Lender (except for any amounts payable by the Borrower to the
Subordinated Lender from time to time under income tax sharing arrangements
between the Borrower and the Subordinated Lender) is hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Subordinated Debt";

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
undertakings herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Subordination.
          -------------

     (a)  The payment of any and all of the Subordinated Debt is hereby
expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment of the
principal amount of, and all interest and premium on, and all other amounts in
respect of, the Senior Debt, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein.

     (b)  In the event of (1) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganizations, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or other similar proceeding

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

relative to the Borrower, its creditors or its Property (as defined in the LSA),
or (2) any proceeding for the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or other winding up of the Borrower whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings, then and in any such event:

          (i)    the principal amount of, and all interest and premium on, and
     all other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt (including interest
     thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or
     not such interest shall be allowed in such proceeding) shall be paid in
     full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash,
     Securities (as defined in the LSA) or other Property, shall be made in
     respect of the Subordinated Debt;

          (ii)   any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash,
     Securities or other Property, which would otherwise (but for the terms
     hereof) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt
     (including any payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Debt
     by reason of any other indebtedness of the Borrower being subordinated to
     the Subordinated Debt), shall be paid or delivered directly to the Senior
     Lender, or its representatives, until the principal amount of, and all
     interest and premium on, and all other amounts in respect of, the Senior
     Debt shall have been paid in full and the Subordinated Lender or any other
     holder of the Subordinated Debt irrevocably authorizes, empowers and
     directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, conservators and others
     having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and
     deliveries;

          (iii)  the Subordinated Lender and any other holder of the
     Subordinated Debt shall (1) execute and deliver to the Senior Lender or its
     representative or agent all such further instruments confirming the
     authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (ii), (2) execute and
     deliver to the Senior Lender or its representative or agent any powers of
     attorney specifically confirming the rights of the Senior Lender (or such
     representative or agent) arising hereunder, (3) execute and deliver to the
     Senior Lender or its representative or agent all proofs of claim,
     assignments of claim and other instruments as may be requested by the
     Senior Lender to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated
     Debt, and (4) take all other actions as may be requested by the Senior
     Lender to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Debt.

     (c)  Until and unless the principal amount of, and all interest and premium
on, and all other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt shall have been paid in
full, the Borrower shall not make, and the Subordinated Lender shall not
receive, accept or retain, any payments of principal or interest or other amount
on account of the Subordinated Debt; provided, however, that the Borrower may
                                     --------  -------
make and the Subordinated Lender may receive, accept and retain such payments if
(i) no Default or Event of Default under, and as defined in, the LSA shall have
occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower would not be rendered insolvent,
made unable to pay its debts as they come due or be left without adequate
capital to pursue its business and (iii) such payments are in respect of
regularly scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under such
Subordinated Debt (the terms of which regularly scheduled payments shall have
previously been

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

approved, in writing, by the Lender in its sole discretion) and in no case may
the Borrower make, or the Subordinated Lender accept, a prepayment of any
principal and/or interest in respect of the Subordinated Debt without the prior
consent of the Senior Lender.

     (d)  The Borrower agrees that, in the event that any note or other
obligation of the Borrower not evidencing Senior Debt, or any portion thereof,
shall become due and payable before its expressed maturity for any reason, the
Borrower will give prompt notice, in writing, of such occurrence to the Senior
Lender.

     (e)  So long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, the Senior
Lender may at all times exercise any and all powers and rights which it now has
or may hereafter acquire with respect to the LSA, the GUARANTY or any of the
collateral subject to the LSA or GUARANTY without having to obtain any consent
or approval of the Subordinated Lender and without any accountability to the
Subordinated Lender, nor shall it have any liability to the Subordinated Lender
for any action taken or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, the LSA,
the GUARANTY or the aforesaid collateral.

     (f)  Until the entire principal amount of, and all interest and premium on,
and all other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt shall have been paid in
full, the Subordinated Lender shall not enforce any right or remedy or cause the
Subordinated Debt to be accelerated or otherwise to become due prior to its
expressed maturity, which it now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower
or its Property, including, without limitation, rights and remedies under any
mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement.

     (g)  If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any payment or
distribution of any character (whether in cash, Securities or other Property) or
any Security shall be received by the Subordinated Lender in contravention of
the terms of this Agreement, and before the entire principal amount of, and all
interest and premium on, and all other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt
shall have been paid in full, such payment, distribution or Security shall not
be commingled with any asset of the Subordinated Lender, but shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred
to, the Senior Lender, or its representatives or agents, for application to the
payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, until the principal amount of, and
all interest and premium (including interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any proceedings described in Section 1(b) hereof) on, and all
other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full.

     (h)  Until the principal amount of, and all interest and premium on, and
all other amounts in respect of, the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full,
the Subordinated Lender shall not have the right of subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnity whatsoever or any right of recourse to or with respect to any
assets or Property of the Borrower or to any of the collateral for the Senior
Debt.

     (i)  This Agreement, without further reference, shall pass to and may be
relied on and enforced by any transferee or subsequent holder of the Senior
Debt. In the event of any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of the
Subordinated Debt, the Subordinated Lender shall

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

cause the transferee thereof to execute and deliver to the Senior Lender a
written instrument signed by the transferee, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Senior Lender, providing for the continued subordination of the
Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt as provided for herein and for the
continued effectiveness of all of the rights of the Senior Lender arising under
this Agreement.

     2.   Continued Effectiveness of This Agreement.
          -----------------------------------------

     The terms of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the
rights of the Senior Lender and the obligations of the Subordinated Lender
arising hereunder, shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or
to any extent by: (i) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the LSA,
the GUARANTY or any instrument or document executed or delivered pursuant
thereto, including, without limitation, the extension of the term of the Senior
Debt and/or the increase in the amount of the Senior Debt; (ii) the lack of
validity, legality or enforceability of any of such documents; (iii) any
exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of
the Senior Debt or any of such instruments or documents referred to in clause
(i) above or arising at law; or (iv) any waiver, consent, release, indulgence,
extension, renewal, modification, delay or other action, inaction or omission in
respect of the Senior Debt or any of the instruments or documents referred to in
clause (i) above, whether or not the Subordinated Lender shall have had notice
or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not it shall have consented
thereto.

     3.   Delivery of Promissory Note.
          ---------------------------

     In order to more fully implement the subordination effected hereby, the
Subordinated Lender shall, upon request of the Senior Lender, deliver to the
Senior Lender or its agent all promissory notes of the Borrower payable to, or
to the order of, the Subordinated Lender.  The Subordinated Lender agrees to
take such other action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to
effectuate, as between the Senior Lender and the Subordinated Lender, the
subordination provided for herein.

     4.   Miscellaneous.
          -------------

     (a)  The Subordinated Lender shall join with the Lender in executing one or
more financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other
notices appropriate under applicable law, in form satisfactory to the Senior

secured as set forth in the Pledge Agreement and that the Pledge Agreement
remains in full force and effect.

the Assignment and not a novation, and that except as modified hereby, all terms

respect to the payment of interest and acceleration of the entire balance of
principal and interest if any payment is not made within 30 days of its due
date, shall remain in full force and effect.
