security of this mortgage.

     For the purposes aforesaid, mortgagor does by these presents declare and

mortgagor under any other mortgage, either superior or subordinate in rank to

mortgaged herein, or generally fail to do and perform any of the covenants
herein contained, then, in any event, at the option of any holder or holders of
the within described note, said note shall, ipso facto, become due, exigible and
payable, without any demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, and
without any formal putting in default, or any other proceedings, and it shall be
lawful for, and mortgagor hereby authorizes the then holder or holders of said
herein described note to cause, all and singular, the property herein mortgaged
to be seized and sold under executory process, or any other process, issued by
any competent court, mortgagor hereby confessing judgment in favor of mortgagee
or any future holder or holders of the said note, and consenting, in the event
executory process be not resorted to, that by virtue of the confession of
judgment herein contained, mortgagor waives allotment, citation and all legal
notices and delays and consents that judgment may be rendered, signed and
executed immediately, either in vacation, or term time. Mortgagor specifically
waives the benefit of any and all laws, or parts of laws, relative to the
appraisement of property seized or sold under executory process, or any other
process, and consents and agrees that said property may be sold without
appraisement to the highest bidder, for cash, said mortgagor hereby expressly
dispensing with all and any appraisement of said property.

     Mortgagor binds himself to keep the buildings and improvements on the
property herein mortgaged constantly insured against loss by fire and against
such other risks as mortgagee may designate up to the full amount of the
aforesaid note and to transfer the policy or policies of insurance to the holder
or holders of the said note, hereby consenting and agreeing that any holder of
said note shall have the right to transfer any such policy to any future holder
or holders of said note. In case of the mortgagor's failure to effect such
insurance, the holder or holders of the said note shall have the right to do so,
and the reimbursement of any sums paid for that purpose shall be secured by the
within mortgage, but this clause shall not be construed as obligatory on any
holder or holders of said note, or as making any of them liable for any loss,
damage or injury which may result from the non-insurance of said buildings and
improvements. In any event, it shall be at the exclusive option of the holder or
holders of the said note to treat mortgagor's failure to insure said buildings
and improvements as a breach of mortgagor's obligations hereunder, maturing the
said note and authorizing the holder or holders of said note to proceed either
by executory process, or other legal process, as hereinabove provided.

     Mortgagor specifically agrees to pay all taxes, charges or assessments on
said property, and, in the event that tax charges or assessments become
delinquent, any holder or holders of said note, at his or their option, is fully
authorized to pay the same, and thereby become subrogated to all the rights and
privileges of the City, Parish or the State, or other governmental taxing
authority, it being agreed that any holder or holders of said note shall be
entitled to interest at the rate of EIGHTEEN (18%) percent per annum on any
amount so advanced or paid from the date of such payment until reimbursement,
the mortgage hereinabove granted being extended to cover the amount of such
taxes, charges, assessments, interest and all costs. In any event, it shall be
at the exclusive option of the holder or holders of said note to treat
mortgagor's failure to pay such taxes, charges and assessments as a breach of
mortgagor's obligation hereunder, maturing the said note and authorizing the
holder or holders of said note to proceed either by executory process, or other
legal process, as hereinabove provided.

     It is further understood and agreed that in the event of the passage, after
the date of this mortgage, of any law deducting from the value of land for the
purpose of taxation, any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in
force for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or the manner
of the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this mortgage or in any
manner seeking to enforce the payment of such taxes by the mortgagee or any
future holder or holders of the said note, then and in any of said events the
mortgagor binds and obligates himself to pay any and all taxes which may be
assessed against the mortgagee by reason of this mortgage, to the complete

                                       3
<PAGE>

exoneration and discharge of said mortgagee. In default of such payment by the
mortgagor, the mortgagee may pay said tax, and the amount so paid, with interest
thereon at the rate set forth in the said note from date of such payment, shall
be secured by the mortgage herein granted.

     The said mortgagor further binds and obligates himself to keep the
mortgaged property, including all fences, buildings and other improvements now
on the said premises or hereafter put thereon, in good condition and repair, and
generally to do no act by which the value of said mortgaged premises may be
impaired.

     Mortgagor warrants that there are no unpaid labor or materialmen's or other
claims, liens or privileges for repairs or renovations to or constructions upon
the herein described property outstanding and unpaid on the date hereof which
would prime the mortgage herein granted. It is further understood and agreed
that after the date of this mortgage said mortgagor, before entering into any
contract or agreement, either verbal or written, recorded or unrecorded, whereby
any lien, privilege, mortgage or other encumbrance in favor of any mechanic,
builder, artisan, workman, laborer, or any other person, or in favor of any
furnisher of material, supplies, machinery or fixtures is created, shall obtain
the written consent of the mortgagee, and in default of such written consent,
the entering into of such agreement or contract shall be deemed a fraud upon the
rights of the holder or holders of said note and shall entitle said holder or
holders of said note to declare the entire debt herein secured immediately due
and payable, and to institute foreclosure proceedings thereon.

     In the event default is made in payment of any installment, if the note or
notes secured by this mortgage provide for payment thereof in installments, or
in the event default is made in payment of any note, if a series of notes is
secured by this mortgage, at the option of any holder thereof, all remaining
unpaid installments and/or notes may be declared at once due and payable in
full.

     The said mortgagor moreover binds himself in case it should become
necessary to place said note in the hands of an attorney for collection or to
protect the rights of any holder thereunder, or to institute suit for the
recovery of the amount of said note, or any interest, or any part thereof, to
pay the fees of the attorney-at-law who may be employed for that purpose, which
fees are hereby fixed at 25% PERCENT on the amount due or sued for.

     Now to secure the faithful performance of all of mortgagor's obligations,
and the reimbursement and payment of said note and attorney's fees, taxes and
premiums of insurance, as above specified, the mortgagor does by these presents
further specially mortgage and hypothecate the hereinabove described property
unto and in favor of said mortgagee and all future holder or holders of said
note hereby confessing judgment for the full amount of said note in principal
and interest, together with all costs, attorney's fees, taxes and premiums of
insurance.

     The mortgagor binds and obligates himself to reinscribe this mortgage in
the manner in which the original recordation was made in the records of the
Recorder of Mortgages for the Parish in which said original recordation was made
on or before one year prior to the date of the expiration of each successive
period after which this mortgage would be barred by prescription unless
reinscribed, said reinscription to be made at the expense and cost of the
mortgagor. In the event mortgagor shall default in complying with this
obligation to reinscribe this act on or before the date specified, and in the
manner provided, then and in that case, the entire amount due on the note, or
notes secured by this mortgage, together with all interest, attorney's fees,
insurance premiums, costs and expenses, shall at the option of the holder or
holders of the said note or notes, immediately become due and payable, or, in
the alternative, the holder or holders of the said note or notes, may at his or
their option, cause this mortgage to be reinscribed in the records of the
aforesaid Recorder of Mortgages, at the cost of mortgagor.

     The mortgagor agrees that the herein mortgaged property shall not be sold
or transferred with the right of assumption of the balance due on the herein
mortgage without the prior written consent of the mortgagee, or any future
holder or holders of the note or notes secured by this mortgage, the mortgagee
reserving the right to demand the immediate payment of the balance on the
aforesaid note, with interest, should the mortgagor violate these covenants.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     Any extensions granted or allowed for the payment of said note or notes, or
any installment thereof, or for the performance of any other obligations assumed
herein by the mortgagor, shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the rights
of the mortgagee or any holder or holders of said note or notes.

     It is specifically understood that the stipulations and obligations of the
within described note or notes, and of this mortgage, are joint and solidary as
to the makers of the said note or notes and the mortgagor herein. It is
specifically understood that all the obligations of the said note or notes and
this said act shall be binding upon the heirs, successors, executors,
administrators, representatives and assigns of each and every note maker or
mortgagor hereunder, and that whenever used herein any word importing the
singular shall as well include the plural and any pronoun importing gender shall
include the masculine, feminine or neuter. "Mortgagee" shall be deemed to
include the named mortgagee herein as well as any and all future holder or
holders of the note or notes secured hereby.

     The parties hereto acknowledge that there has been called to their
attention by the undersigned Notary encroachments and restrictions, if any, as
shown on a survey or in the chain of title, and they hereby release and relieve
the attorney who examined the title and the undersigned Notary from any and all
responsibility in connection therewith.

     Mortgagor warrants that there are no unpaid labor or materialmen's or other
claims or privileges for repairs or renovations to or constructions upon the
herein described property outstanding and unpaid on the date hereof which would
prime the mortgage herein granted.

     The parties to this Act waive all Certificates required by law and relieve
and release me, Notary, from the non-production of same.

     THUS DONE AND PASSED in my office in the Parish and on the day, month and
year herein first above written, in the presence of the undersigned competent
witnesses, who hereunder sign their names with the said appearers, and me,
Notary, after reading of the whole.
