GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Grantor
represents and warrants to Lender that:

     Ownership. Grantor is the lawful owner of the Collateral free and clear of
     all security interests, liens, encumbrances and claims of others except as
     disclosed to and accepted by Lender in writing prior to execution of this
     Agreement.

     Right to Pledge. Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter
     into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral.

     Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon Grantor, as well as
     Grantor's heirs, successors, representatives and assigns, and is legally
     enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     No Further Assignment. Grantor has not, and will not, sell, assign,
     transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of Grantor's rights in the
     Collateral except as provided in this Agreement.

     No Defaults. There are no defaults existing under the Collateral, and there
     are no offsets or counterclaims to the same. Grantor will strictly and
     promptly perform each of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements
     contained in the Collateral which are to be performed by Grantor, if any.

     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.

LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL. Lender may hold the
Collateral until all the Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied and thereafter
may deliver the Collateral to any Grantor. Lender shall have the following
rights in addition to all other rights it may have by law:

     Maintenance and Protection of Collateral. Lender may, but shall not be
     obligated to, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable to
     protect, maintain, insure, store, or care for the Collateral, including
     payment of any liens or claims against the Collateral. Lender may charge
     any cost incurred in so doing to Grantor.

     Income and Proceeds from the Collateral. Lender may receive all Income and
     Proceeds and add it to the Collateral. Grantor agrees to deliver to Lender
     immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and without
     commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from the

     Grantor's account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of, in
     substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral.

Loan No                           (Continued)

     Application of Cash. At Lender's option, Lender may apply any cash, whether
     included in the Collateral or received as Income and Proceeds or through
     liquidation, sale, or retirement, of the Collateral, to the satisfaction of
     the Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender shall choose, whether or
     not matured.

     Transactions with Others. Lender may (a) extend time for payment or other
     performance, (b) grant a renewal or change in terms or conditions, or (c)
     compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or more
     Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender deems
     advisable, without obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor, and no
     such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against Grantor or
     the Collateral.

     All Collateral Secures Indebtedness. All Collateral shall be security for
     the Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more offices
     or branches of Lender and whether or not the office or branch where the
     Indebtedness is created is aware of or relies upon the Collateral.

     Collection of Collateral. Lender, at Lender's option may, but need not,
     collect directly from the Obligors on any of the Collateral all Income and
     Proceeds or other sums of money and other property due and to become due
     under the Collateral, and Grantor authorizes and directs the Obligors, if
     Lender exercises such option, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and
     Proceeds and other sums of money and other property payable by the terms of
     the Collateral and to accept Lender's receipt for the payments.

     Power of Attorney. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's
     attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (a) to demand, collect,
     receive, receipt for, sue and recover all Income and Proceeds and other
     sums of money and other property which may now or hereafter become due,
     owing or payable from the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the
     Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments,
     receipts, checks, drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral;
     (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under the
     Collateral, and in the place and stead of Grantor, execute and deliver
     Grantor's release and acquaintance for Grantor; (d) to file any claim or
     claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any proceedings,
     either in Lender's own name or in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which
     in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or advisable; and (e)
     to execute in Grantor's name and to deliver to the Obligors on Grantor's
     behalf, at the time and in the manner specified by the Collateral, any
     necessary instruments or documents.

Loan No                           (Continued)

     Perfection of Security Interest. Upon request of Lender, Grantor will
     deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting
     the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of
     perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s)
     to be used. Upon request of Lender, Grantor will sign and deliver any
     writings necessary to perfect Lender's security interest. If the Collateral
     consists of securities for which no certificate has been issued, Grantor
     agrees, at Lender's option, either to request issuance of an appropriate
     certificate or to execute appropriate instructions on Lender's forms
     instructing the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as
     the case may be, to record on its books or records, by book-entry or
     otherwise, Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Grantor hereby
     appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose
     of executing any documents necessary to perfect or to continue the security
     interest granted in this Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement
     and will continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness
     is paid in full and even though for a period of time Grantor may not be
     indebted to Lender.

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 which 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.

LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care
in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's
possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its
value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no
responsibility for (a) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the
collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (b)
preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third
persons, (c) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers,
tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (d) informing
Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no
liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.

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.

Loan No                           (Continued)

     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 faith, deems itself insecure.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies:

     Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment
     penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and
     payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.

     Collect the Collateral. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's
     option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of
     the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.

     Sell the Collateral. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a unit
     or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the
     Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of
     a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail
     to Grantor, or any of them, notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the
     time and place of any public sale, or of the date after which any private
     sale may be made. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice
     is satisfied if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor,
     or any of them, at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If
     a public sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all
     requirements of notice to the public by a single publication in any
     newspaper of general circulation in the county where the Collateral is
     located, setting forth the time and place of sale and a brief description
     of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any public sale.

     Register Securities. Register any securities included in the Collateral in
     Lender's name and exercise any rights normally incident to the ownership of
     securities.

Loan No                           (Continued)

     Sell Securities. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner
     consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws,
     notwithstanding any other provision of this or any other agreement. If,
     because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is or believes it is unable
     to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that
     Lender shall have no obligation to delay sale until the securities can be
     registered, and may make a private sale to one or more persons or to a
     restricted group of persons, even though such sale may result in a price
     that is less favorable than might be obtained in an open market
     transaction, and such a sale shall be considered commercially reasonable.
     If any securities held as Collateral are "restricted securities" as defined
     in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation
     D or Rule 144) or state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws,
     or if Grantor is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities, Grantor
     agrees that neither Grantor nor any member of Grantor's family will sell or
     dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior
     written consent.

     Foreclosure. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the
     Collateral.

     Transfer Title. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the
     Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as its
     attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and instruments in
     the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as shall be
     necessary or reasonable.

     Other Rights and Remedies. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and
     remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform
     Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.

     Application of Proceeds. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or
     which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to
     reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of
     securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorney fees
     as provided below, and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and
     including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the
     collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the
     Indebtedness of Grantor to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to
     Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Grantor agrees, to the
     extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the
     proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness.

     Cumulative Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced
     by this Agreement 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.

     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
     Hillsborough County, the State of Florida. 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,

     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 given at the address shown above. Any party may change
     its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
     notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is
     to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
     if there is more than one 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).

     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 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 PLEDGE AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT, AND GRANTOR AGREES TO ITS TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT IS DATED

Principal Amount: $150,000.00   Initial Rate: 9.500%    Date of Note: September 13, 2000

</TABLE>

PROMISE TO PAY. UTEK Corporation ("Borrower") promises to pay to The Bank of
Tampa ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, on
demand, the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($150,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan immediately upon Lender's demand. In
addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid
interest due as of each payment date, beginning October 13, 2000, with all
subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that.
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. 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.

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 prime rate as
published daily in the Wall Street Journal (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. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based
on other rates as well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than
each day. 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 equal to
the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 9.500% 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.

Loan No                           (Continued)

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges
are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund
upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as
otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, 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 of accrued unpaid interest.
Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.

LATE CHARGE. If a regularly scheduled interest payment is 10 days or more late,
Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled
payment. If Lender demands payment of this loan, and Borrower does not pay the
loan within 10 days after Lender's demand, Borrower also will be charged 5.000%
of the unpaid portion of the sum of the unpaid principal plus accrued unpaid
Interest.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower
has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender
by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material
respect either now or at the time made or furnished. (d) Borrower becomes
insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced
either by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
(e) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender
has a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's accounts with Lender. (f) Any guarantor dies or any of the other
events described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of
this Note. (g) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired. (h) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default, including failure
to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, 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. Lender may hire or pay
someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also
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), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services. If not prohibited by applicable
law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums
provided by law. This Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender
in the State of Florida. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Hillsborough County, the
State of Florida. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Florida.

Loan No                           (Continued)

DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $15.00 if Borrower
makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such accounts.

COLLATERAL. This Note is secured by an assignment of 491,957 shares of
NuElectric Corporation stock in the name of UTEK Corporation and 150 shares of
Rosbon, Inc. stock in the name of UTEK Corporation.

LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under
this Note may be requested either orally or in writing by Borrower or by an
authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. All communications, instructions, or directions by
telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown
above. The following party or parties are authorized to request advances under
the line of credit until Lender receives from Borrower at Lender's address shown
above written notice of revocation of their authority: Clifford M. Gross, PHD,
CEO. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a) advanced in
accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (b) credited to any
of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this
Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's
internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no
obligation to advance funds under this Note if: (a) Borrower or any guarantor is
in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any
guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the
signing of this Note; (b) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is
insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit,

Loan No                           (Continued)

GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Note is payable on demand. The inclusion of specific
default provisions or rights of Lender shall not preclude Lender's right to
declare payment of this Note on its demand. 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, protest 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.

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 AND ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THE NOTE.
