                    advance into my account number ON REQUEST.

               (5)  Credit  Limit.  I  understand  that you will not  ordinarily
                    grant a request  for an advance  that would cause the unpaid
                    principal of my Loan to be greater than the Principal limit.
                    You  may,  at your  option,  grant  such a  request  without
                    obligating yourselves to do so in the future.

               (6)  Records.  Your  records will  conclusive  evidence as to the
                    amount of advances, the Loan's unpaid principal balances and
                    the accrued interest.

4.   INTEREST. Interest will accrue on the unpaid Principal balance of this Loan
     Agreement at the rate of 7.26 percent  (Interest  Rate) until May 14, 2003,
     after  which  time  it  may  change  as  described  in  the  Variable  Rate
     subsection.

     (A)  Interest  After  Default.  If you declare a default under the terms of
          this Loan,  including for failure to pay in full at maturity,  you may
          increase the Interest  Rate  payable on the  outstanding  Principal of
          this  Loan  Agreement.  In such  event,  interest  will  accrue on the
          outstanding Principal balance at 16.000? percent until paid in full.

     (B)  Maximum Interest Amount.  Any amount assessed or collected as interest
          under the terms of this Loan  Agreement or obligation  will be limited
          to the Maximum  Lawful Amount of interest  allowed by state or federal
          law. Amounts  collected in excess of the Maximum Lawful Amount will be
          applied first to the unpaid  Principal  balance.  Any  remainder  will
          refunded to me.

     (C)  Statutory  Authority.  The amount  assessed or  collected on this Loan
          Agreement is  authorized  by the Florida  usury laws under Fla.  Stat.
          SS. 687.

     (D)  Accrual. During the scheduled term of this Loan interest accrues using
          an Actual/360 days counting method.

     (E)  Variable  Rate.  The interest  Rate may change during the term of this
          transaction.

          (1)  Index.  Beginning  with the first Change Date,  the interest Rate
               will be based on the  following  index:  For the purposes of this
               note,  the  term  "Prime  Rate"  shall  mean  the  interest  rate
               announced,  from  time  to  time,  by  Mercantile  Bank,  at  its
               principal office in Orlando,  FL. or by its corporate  successor,
               as the Prime  Rate  (which  rate is only a  benchmark,  is purely
               discretionary,  and is not  necessarily  the best or lowest  rate
               charged borrowing customers of Mercantile Bank.

               The current  index is the most recent index  figure  available on
               each Change Date. You do not guaranty by selecting this Index, or
               the margin, that the Interest Rate on this Loan Agreement will be
               the same rate you charge on any other loans or class of loans you
               make  to me or  other  borrowers.  If  this  index  is no  longer
               available,  you will substitute a similar index. You will give me
               notice of your choice.

          (2)  Change Data.  Each date on which the Interest  Rate may change is
               called a Change Date.  The Interest  Rate may change May 14, 2003
               and daily thereafter.

          (3)  Calculation  of Change.  On each Change Date,  you will calculate
               the  Interest  Rate,  which will be the Current  Index plus 3,000
               percent.  The result of this  calculation  will be rounded to the
               nearest .001 percent.  Subject to any  limitations,  this will be
               the interest  Rate until the next Change  Date.  The new Interest
               Rate will become effective on each Change Date. The Interest Rate
               and other  charges on this Loan  Agreement  will never exceed the
               highest rate or charge allowed by law for this Loan Agreement.

          (4)  Effect of Variable  Rate. A change in the Interest Rate will have
               the following  effect on the  payments:  The amount of the final
               payment will change.

5.   ADDITIONAL  CHARGES. As additional  consideration,  I agree to pay, or have
     paid, these additional fees and changes.

          (A)  Nonrefundable  Fees and Charges.  The  following  fees are earned
               when  collected  and will not be  refunded  if I prepay this Loan
               Agreement before the scheduled maturity date.

               UCC Filing.  A(n) UCC Filing fee of $25.00 payable form corporate

     I understand  and agree that some payments to third parties as part of this
     transaction  may also involve money  retained by you or paid back to you as
     Commissions or other remuneration.

6.   REMEDIAL CHARGES. In addition to interest or other finance charges, I agree
     that I will pay these  additional  fees based on my method  and  pattern of
     payment.  Additional  remedial  charges may be described  elsewhere in this
     Loan Agreement.

     (A)  Late Charge. If a payment is more than 10 days late. I will be charged
          8.000  percent of the Unpaid  Portion of the Payment.  I will pay this

     (B)  Returned  Check Charge.  I agree to pay a fee not to exceed $29.00 for
          each  check,  negotiable  order  or  withdrawal  or  draft I issue  in
          connection  with  this  Loan  that is  returned  because  it has  been
          dishonored.

7.   PAYMENT.  I agree to pay this Loan Agreement on demand, but if no demand is
     made. I agree to pay all accrued  interest on the balance  outstanding from
     time to time in regular payments  beginning June 13, 2003, then on the same
     day of each month  thereafter.  Any payment  scheduled  for a date  falling
     beyond  the last day of the  month,  will be due on the last  day.  A final
     payment of the entire unpaid outstanding  balance of Principal and interest
     will be due May 13, 2004.

     Payments will be rounded to the nearest $.01. With the final payment I also
     agree to pay any  additional  fees or  charges  owing and the amount of any
     advances  you have made to others on my behalf.  Payments  scheduled  to be
     paid on the 25th,  30th or 31st day or a month  that  contains  no such day
     will, instead, be made on the last day of such month.

          immediately  due and may be added to the balance owing under the terms
          of  this  Loan   Agreement,   and  accrue   interest  at  the  highest
          post-maturity interest rate.

     E.   Termination.  You may  terminate  my right to obtain  advances and may
          refuse to make any further extensions of credit.

     F.   Set-off. You may use the right of set-off.  This means you may set-off
          any  amount  due and  payable  under the terms of this Loan  Agreement
          against any right I have to receive money from you.

          My right to  receive  money  from you  includes  any  deposit or share
          account  balance  I have with  you;  any  money  owed to me on an item
          presented to you or in your possession for collection or exchange; and
          any repurchase agreement or other non-deposit obligation.  "Any amount
          due and  payable  under the terms of this  Loan  Agreement"  means the
          total  amount to which you are  entitled to demand  payment  under the
          terms of this Loan Agreement at the time you set-off.

          Subject to any other  written  consent,  if my right to receive  money
          from you is also owned by  someone  who has not agreed to pay the Loan
          Agreement,  your right of set-off  will  apply to my  interest  in the
          obligation  and to any  other  amounts  I  could  withdraw  on my sale
          request or endorsement.

          Your right of set-off does not apply to an account or other obligation
          where my rights arise only in a representative  capacity. It also does
          not apply to any individual  Retirement  Account or other tax-deferred
          retirement account.

          You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor
          occurs because you set-off against any of my accounts. I agree to hold
          you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise
          of your right to set-off.

     G.   Assembly of  Property.  You may require me to gather the  Property and
          make it available to you in a reasonable fashion.

     H.   Repossession.   You  may   repossess  the  Property  so  long  as  the
          repossession  does not involve a breach of the peace. You may sell the
          Property as provided by law.  You may apply what you receive  from the
          sale of the Property to your expenses,  your attorney's fees and legal
          expenses  (where not  prohibited  by law),  and any debt I owe you. If
          what you receive  from the sale of the  Property  does not satisfy the
          debt, I will be liable for the deficiency (where permitted by law). In
          some cases, you may keep the Property to satisfy the debt.

          Where a notice is required, I agree that ten days prior written notice
          sent by first class mail to my address  listed in this Loan  Agreement
          will be reasonable  notice to me under the Florida Uniform  Commercial
          Code. If the Property is  perishable or threatens to decline  speedily
          in value,  you may, without notice to me, dispose of any or all of the
          Property in a commercially  reasonable  manner at my expense following
          any commercially reasonable preparation or processing.

          If any  items  not  otherwise  subject  to  this  Loan  Agreement  are
          contained in the Property when you take possession, you may hold these
          items  for me at my  risk  and  you  will  not be  liable  for  taking
          possession of them.

     I.   Use and Operation.  You may enter upon my premises and take possession
          of all or any part of my property for the purposes of  preserving  the
          Property or its value, so long as you do not breach the peace. You may
          use and  operate  my  property  for the  length  of time  you  feel is
          necessary  to  protect   your   interest,   all  without   payment  or
          compensation to me.

     J.   Waiver.  Except as  otherwise  required by law by choosing  any one or
          more of these  remedies you do not give up your right to use any other
          remedy.  You do not waive a default if you choose not to use a remedy.
          By  electing  not to use any  remedy,  you do not waive  your right to
          later  consider  the event a default  and to use any  remedies  if the
          default continues to occur again.

17.  COLLECTION EXPENSES AND ATTORNYS' FEES. On or after Defaults, to the extent
     permitted by law, I agree to pay all expenses of collection, enforcement or
     protection of your rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement.  Expenses
     include,  but are not  limited  to  attorneys'  fees of 10  percent  of the
     Principal sum due or a larger amount as the court judges as reasonable  and
     just,  court costs and other legal  expenses.  These  expenses  are due and
     payable  immediately.  If not paid  immediately,  these  expenses will bear
     interest  from  the  date of  payment  until  paid  in full at the  highest
     interest  rate  in  effect  as  provided  for in the  terms  of  this  Loan
     Agreement.  All fees and  expenses  will be accrued by the  Property I have
     granted to you,  if any.  To the  extent  permitted  by the  United  States
     Bankruptcy Code, I agree to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees you incur to
     collect this Debt as awarded by any court exercising jurisdiction under the
     Bankruptcy Code.

18.  WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS.  I make to you the following warranties and
     representations  which will  continue as long as this Loan  Agreement is in
     effect:

     D.   Ownership of  Property.  I represent  that I own all of the  Property.
          Your  claim  to the  Property  is  ahead of the  claims  or any  other
          creditor,  except as  disclosed in writing to you prior to any advance
          on the Secured  Debts. I represent that I am the original owner of the
          Property  and,  if I am not,  that I have  provided  you with a ??? of
          prior owners of the Property.

19.  INSURANCE.  I  understand  and agree that any  insurance  premiums  paid to
     insurance  companies  as part of this Loan  Agreement  will  involve  money
     retained by you or paid back to you as commissions or other remuneration.

     A.   Property  Insurance.  I agree to keep the Property insured against the
          risks  reasonably  associated with the Property.  I will maintain this
          insurance in the amounts you require.  This  insurance will last until
          the Property is released  from this Loan  Agreement.  I may choose the
          insurance  company,  subject  to  your  approval  which  will  not  be
          unreasonably withheld.

     I will have the insurance  company name you as lose payee on any insurance
     policy. I will give you and the insurance  company  immediate notice of any
     lose.  You may apply the  insurance  proceeds  toward  what is owned on the
     Secured Debts.  You may require added security as a condition of permitting
     any insurance proceeds to be used to repair or replace the Property.

     If you acquire the Property in damaged condition, my right to any insurance
     policies and proceeds will pass to you the extent of the Secured Debts.

     I will immediately  notify of cancellation or termination of insured.  If I
     fail to keep the Property insured, you may obtain insurance to protect your
     interest  in  the  Property.   This  insurance  may  include  coverage  not
     originally  required  of me, may be written by a company  either than one I
     would  choose and may be written at a higher rate than I could  obtain if I
     purchased the insurance.

     B.   Prepayment. If I prepay in full or if I default and you demand payment
          of the unpaid  balance,  I may be entitled to a partial refund credits
          of any  prepaid,  unearned  insurance  premiums.  This  refund  may be
          obtained from you or from the insurance  company named in my policy or
          certificate of insurance.

20.  FINANCING  STATEMENT.  You may file a  financing  statement  governing  the
     Property that does not contain my signature, where permitted by law.

21.  APPLICABLE LAW. This Loan Agreement is governed by the laws of Florida, the
     United  States of America  and to the extent  required,  by the laws of the
     jurisdiction where the Property is located. In the event of a dispute,  the
     exclusive  forum,  venue and end place of jurisdiction  will be in Florida,
     unless otherwise required by law.

22.  JOINT AND INDIVIDUAL  LIABILITY AND  SUCCESSORS.  My obligation to pay this
     Loan is  independent  of the  obligation  of any other  person who has also
     agreed to pay it. You may sue me alone,  or anyone else who is obligated on
     this Loan,  or any number of us together,  to collect this Loan.  Extending
     this loan or new obligations under this Loan, will not effect my duty under
     this Loan and I will still be  obligated  to pay this Loan.  The duties and
     benefits of this Loan will bind and benefit the  successors  and assigns of
     you and me.

23.  AMENDMENT,  INTEGRAION  AND  SEVERABILITY.  This Loan  Agreement may not be
     amended or modified by oral  agreements.  No amendment or  modification  of
     this Loan Agreement is effective unless made in writing and executed by you
     and me. This Loan  agreement is the complete  and final  expression  of the
     agreement.  If any provision of this Loan Agreement is unenforceable,  then
     the  unenforceable  provision will be severed and the remaining  provisions
     will still be enforceable.

24.  INTERPRETATION.  Whatever  used,  the singular  includes the plural and the
     plural includes the singular. The section headings are for convenience only
     and are not to be used to interpret or define the terms of this Agreement.

25.  NOTICE,  FINANCIAL  REPORTS  AND  ADDITIONAL  DOCUMENTS.  Unless  otherwise
     required by law, any notice will be given by delivering it or mailing it by
     first class mail to the appropriate  party's address listed in the DATE and
     PARTIES section,  or to any other address designated in writing.  Notice to
     one party will be deemed to be notice to all parties.  I will inform you in
     writing of any change in my name, address or other application information.
     I will provide you any financial statement or information you request.  All
     financial  statement  and  information  I give  you  will  be  correct  and
     complete.  I agree to sign,  deliver  and file any  additional  document or
     certifications  that you may consider  necessary  to perfect,  continue and
     preserve my obligations  under this Loan and to confirm your lien status on
     the Property. Time is of the essence.

26.  CREDIT  INFORMATION.  I agree  to  supply  with  whatever  information  you
     reasonably  feel you need to decide whether to continue this Loan. You will
     make requests for this information without due frequency,  and will give me
     reasonable time in which to supply the information.

27.  ERRORS AND OMMISSION.  I agree,  if requested by you, to fully cooperate in
     the correction,  if necessary,  in the reasonable  discretion of you of any
     and all loan ?????  documents as that all documents accurately describe the
     loan  between you and me. I agree to assume all costs  including  by way of

     losses for failing to reasonably  comply with your  requests  within thirty
     (30) days.

     and Intentionally, Irrevocably and unconditionally, waive any and all right

     these parties acknowledges that this section has either been brought to the
     attention  of each  party's  legal  counsel  or  that  such  party  had the
     opportunity to do so.

29.  SIGNATUES.  By signing  under seal, I agree to the terms  contained in this
