         AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
         Agreement by Grantor have been duly authorized by all necessary action
         by Grantor and do not conflict with, result in a violation of, or

LOAN NO 62080750                  (CONTINUED)

================================================================================

         documents necessary to perfect or to continue the security interest
         granted in this Agreement. Lender may at any time, and without further
         authorization from Grantor, file a carbon, photographic or other
         reproduction of any financing statement or of this Agreement for use as
         a financing statement. Grantor will reimburse Lender for all expenses
         for the perfection and the continuation of the perfection of Lender's
         security interest in the Collateral. Grantor promptly will notify
         Lender before any change in Grantors' name including any change to the
         assumed business names of Grantor.

         NO VIOLATION.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
         violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a
         party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do
         not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.

         ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL.  To the extent the Collateral consists of
         accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the Collateral is
         enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with
         applicable laws concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
         execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral
         have authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as
         they appear to be on the Collateral.

         LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL.  Grantor, upon request of Lender, will
         deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real
         properties and Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations,
         including without limitation the following: (a) all real property owned
         or being purchased by Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or
         leased by Grantor; (c) all storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or
         being used by Grantor; and (d) all other properties where Collateral is
         or may be located. Except in the ordinary course of its business,
         Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from its existing locations
         without the prior written consent of Lender.

         REMOVAL OF COLLATERAL.  Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the
         extent the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts,
         the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown
         above, or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except
         in the ordinary course of its business, including the sales of
         inventory, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from its existing
         locations without the prior written consent of Lender. To the extent
         that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property,
         Grantor shall not take or permit any action which would require
         application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the
         State of Florida, without the prior written consent of Lender.

         TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING COLLATERAL.  Except for inventory sold or
         accounts collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business,
         Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose
         of the Collateral. While Grantor is not in default under this
         Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in the ordinary course
         of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a buyer in the
         ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course of Grantor's
         business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction
         of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge, mortgage,
         encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien,
         security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security
         interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written
         consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in
         right to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless
         waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral
         (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not
         be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement
         shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other
         disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such
         proceeds to Lender.

         TITLE.  Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good
         and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
         encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing
         statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public
         office other than those which reflect the security interest created by
         this Agreement or to which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor
         shall defend Lender's rights in the Collateral against the claims and
         demands of all other persons.

         COLLATERAL SCHEDULES AND LOCATIONS.  Insofar as the Collateral consists
         of inventory, Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall
         require, such lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral
         as Lender may require to identify the nature, extent, and location of
         such Collateral. Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and
         each of its subsidiaries or related companies.

         MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL.  Grantor shall maintain all
         tangible Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not
         commit or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part
         of the Collateral. Lender and its designated representatives and agents
         shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and
         audit the Collateral wherever located. Grantor shall immediately notify
         Lender of all cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss
         or damage of or to any Collateral; of any request for credit or
         adjustment or of any other dispute arising with respect to the
         Collateral; and generally of all happenings and events affecting the
         Collateral or the value or the amount of the Collateral.

         TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, AND LIENS.  Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
         assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon
         this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the
         indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may
         withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor
         is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the
         obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is
         not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is
         subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days,
         Grantor shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety
         bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to
         provide for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs,
         reasonable attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as a
         result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor
         shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse
         judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name
         Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the
         contest proceedings.

         COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.  Grantor shall comply
         promptly with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all
         governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the
         ownership, production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor
         may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and
         withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate
         appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral, in Lender's
         opinion, is not jeopardized.

         HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.  Grantor represents and warrants that the
         Collateral never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement
         remains a lien on the Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture,
         storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened
         release of any hazardous waste or substance, as those terms are defined
         in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
         Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, at seq.
         ("CERCLA"), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1966,
         Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("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. The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance"
         shall also include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum
         by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos. The representations
         and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in
         investigating the Collateral for hazardous wastes and substances.
         Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender
         for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor 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 and losses
         resulting from a breach if this provision of this Agreement. This
         obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the indebtedness
         and the satisfaction of this Agreement.

         MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE.  Grantor shall procure and maintain
         all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and
         liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may
         require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and
         basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or
         companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request 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

LOAN NO 62080750                  (CONTINUED)

================================================================================

         will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days'
         prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the
         Insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance
         policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in
         favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or
         default of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies
         covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security
         interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss payable or other
         endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any time fails to
         obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement,
         Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as
         Lender deems appropriate, including if it so chooses "single interest
         insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.

         APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender
         of any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss
         if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
         proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
         thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
         consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
         Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay
         or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of
         repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or
         replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount
         of the proceeds to pay all of the indebtedness, and shall pay the
         balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within
         six (6) months after their receipt and which Grantor has not committed
         to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay
         the indebtedness.

         INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
         reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
         created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender
         to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the
         premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to
         be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds
         are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to
         Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit
         and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may
         satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by
         Grantor as they become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in
         trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment
         of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The
         responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole
         responsibility.

         INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to
         Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
         information as Lender may reasonably request including the following:
         (a) the name of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of
         the policy; (d) the property insured; (e) the then current value on the
         basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of
         determining that value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In
         addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often
         than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender
         determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the
         Collateral.

GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until default, Grantor may have possession of the
tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use
it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related
Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall
not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is
required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. If
Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an
Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for
that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion,
shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request
by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable
care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any
rights in the Collateral against prior parties, not to protect, preserve or
maintain any security interest given to secure the indebtedness.

EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation
all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any
time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be
obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the
Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes
will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such
expenses shall become a part of the indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will
(a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment with will be
due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment
of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:

         DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when
         due on the indebtedness.

         OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any
         other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
         Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or in any other agreement
         between Lender and Grantor.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement,
         the Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
         material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.

         DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
         Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
         any collateral documents to create a valid and perfected security
         interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

         INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
         going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a
         receiver for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the
         benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
         of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
         Grantor.

         CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
         forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
         repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
         governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral
         securing the indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of
         Grantor's deposit accounts with Lender.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or such Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
         condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
         the indebtedness is impaired.

         INSECURITY. Lender, in good health, deems itself insecure.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:

         ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire indebtedness,
         including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to
         pay, immediately due and payable, without notice.

         ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver all or any
         portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
         other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor
         to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place
         to be designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter
         upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the

LOAN NO. 62080750                 (CONTINUED)

================================================================================

         COLLATERAL.  If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this
         Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take
         such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to
         return them to Grantor after repossession.

         SELL THE COLLATERAL.  Lender shall have full power to sell, lease,
         transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in
         its own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at
         public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to
         decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
         recognized market, Lender will give Grantor reasonable notice of the
         time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of
         the Collateral is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice
         shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days before the
         time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the
         disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the
         expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling
         the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this
         Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note
         rate from the date of expenditure until repaid.

         APPOINT RECEIVER.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender
         shall have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment
         of a receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of
         right, (b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve
         without bond, and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney
         shall become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and
         shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of
         expenditure until repaid.

         COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS.  Lender, either itself or through a
         receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from
         the Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any
         Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the
         payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
         security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the
         Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.
         Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles,
         insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or
         similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle,
         compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as
         lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then
         due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of
         Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change
         any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse
         notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments
         and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any
         Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors
         and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.

         OBTAIN DEFICIENCY.  If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the
         Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Grantor for any
         deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after
         application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights
         provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall be liable for a deficiency
         even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of
         accounts or chattel paper.

         OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  Lender shall have all the rights and
         remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform
         Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition,
         Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies
         it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

         CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether
         evidenced by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other
         writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
         concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
         pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to
         take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Agreement,
         after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to
         declare a default and to exercise its remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.  The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:

         AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
         constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
         the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment
         to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
         by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
         or amendment.

         APPLICABLE LAW.  This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and
         accepted by Lender in the State of Florida. If there is a lawsuit,
         Grantor agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of
         the courts of the State of Florida. Lender and Grantor hereby waive the
         right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim
         brought by either Lender or Grantor against the other. This Agreement
         shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
         State of Florida.

         ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES.  Grantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
         Lender's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
         Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
         this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help enforce this
         Agreement, and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such
         enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's reasonable attorneys'
         fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
         reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
         proceedings (and including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic
         stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment
         collection services. Grantor also shall pay all court costs and such
         additional fees as may be directed by the court.

         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.

         NOTICES.  All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall
         be given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile (unless otherwise
         required by law), 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 give 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 Grantor, notice to any Grantor will constitute notice to all
         Grantors. For notice purposes, Grantor will keep Lender informed at all
         times of Grantor's current address(es).

         POWER OF ATTORNEY.  Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its true and
         lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full power of substitution
         to do the following: (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue
         and recover all sums of money or other property which may now or
         hereafter become due, owing or payable from the Collateral; (b) to
         execute, sign and endorse any and all claims, instruments, receipts,
         checks, drafts or warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to
         settle or compromise any and all claims; and (d) to file any claim or
         claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any
         proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or
         otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary
         or advisable. This power is given as security for the indebtedness, and
         the authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall
         remain in full force and effect until renounced by Lender.

         SEVERABILITY.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
         of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as 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.

         SUCCESSOR INTERESTS.  Subject to the limitations set forth above on
         transfer of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
         inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.

         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

LOAN NO 62080750                  (CONTINUED)

================================================================================

         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 Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights
         or of any of Grantor's obligations 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 to subsequent instances where such consent is
         required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in
         the sole discretion of Lender.

GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY

PROMISE TO PAY. PODS, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO PEOPLES BANK
("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00),
TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ON THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE FROM MAY 23, 2000, UNTIL
PAID IN FULL.

PAYMENT. SUBJECT TO ANY PAYMENT CHANGES RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN THE INDEX,
BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN 60 PAYMENTS OF $10,786.46 EACH PAYMENT.
BORROWER'S FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE JUNE 23, 2000, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS ARE
DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH AFTER THAT. BORROWER'S FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE
DUE ON MAY 23, 2005, AND WILL BE FOR ALL PRINCIPAL AND ALL ACCRUED INTEREST NOT
YET PAID. PAYMENTS INCLUDE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED OR
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAYMENTS WILL BE APPLIED FIRST TO ACCRUED UNPAID
INTEREST, THEN TO PRINCIPAL, AND ANY REMAINING AMOUNT TO ANY UNPAID COLLECTION
COSTS AND LATE CHARGES. THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE FOR THIS NOTE IS COMPUTED ON A
365/360 BASIS; THAT IS, BY APPLYING THE RATIO OF THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE OVER A
YEAR OF 360 DAYS, MULTIPLIED BY THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE, MULTIPLIED BY
THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF DAYS THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE IS OUTSTANDING. Borrower will
pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an Independent Index which is the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate
charged by lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term
of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute Index after notice to Borrower.
Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The
interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower
understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index
currently is 9.500% per annum. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID
PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE OF 1,000 PERCENTAGE POINT OVER
THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE OF 10.500% PER ANNUM. NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Note be more than the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest
rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) Increase
Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final
maturity date, (B) Increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (C)
Increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (D) continue Borrower's payments
at the same amount and Increase Borrower's final payment.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in
writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments
under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees
not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or
similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without
losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain
obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications
concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument
that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed
or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction
of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Peoples Bank, 32845 U.S.
Hwy 19, Palm Harbor, FL 34684-3123.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,
increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 18.000% per annum, if and to
the extent that the increase does not cause the interest rate to exceed the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note:

         PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this
         Note.

         OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
         term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in
         any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
         obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
         between Lender and Borrower.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note
         or the related documents is false or misleading in any material
         respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false
         or misleading at any time thereafter.

         INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
         going business, the Insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a
         receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the
         benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
         of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or Insolvency laws by or against
         Borrower.

         CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
         forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
         repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
         governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This
         includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit
         accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply
         if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or
         reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
         forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
         the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies
         or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an
         amount determined by Lender, in its solo discretion, as being an
         adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
         liability under, any guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event of a
         death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit
         the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations
         arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in
         doing so, cure any Event of Default.

         CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. Any change in ownership to twenty-five percent
         (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
         financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
         performance of this Note is impaired.

         INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

         CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment, is
         curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the
         same

         provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may
         be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower,
         after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such
         default: (1) cures the default within ten (10) days; or (2) if the cure
         requires more than ten (10) days, immediately initiates steps which
         Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the
         default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and
         necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably
         practical.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then
Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect
the loan if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these
costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law,
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not
there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for
bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay
or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also
will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against
the other.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THIS NOTE HAS
BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to
submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Pinellas County, State of Florida.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

COLLATERAL. Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by a Security Agreement
and UCC-1 Financing Statement from PODS, INC. to Peoples Bank dated May 23,
2000.

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and
upon Borrower's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Lender's successors and assigns.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will
not affect the rest of the Note. Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and
Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve
or receive (collectively referred to herein as "charge or collect"), any amount
in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would
in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender
to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be
permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Florida
(as applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of
anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal
balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded
to Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies
under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs,
guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive
presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the
terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party
who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or
endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender
may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release
any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect
Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed
necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties
also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to
anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations
under this Note are joint and several.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO
THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THIS PROMISSORY NOTE.

THIS NOTE IS GIVEN UNDER SEAL AND IT IS INTENDED THAT THIS NOTE IS AND SHALL
CONSTITUTE AND HAVE THE EFFECT OF A SEALED INSTRUMENT ACCORDING TO LAW.
