     Advance  signed by an  authorized  officer  of  Borrower  and Parent of its
     intention  to  borrow  under  the Line of  Credit  by not  later  than noon
     (Indianapolis  time) at least ten (10)  Banking  Days prior to the proposed
     borrowing  date,  which shall be a Banking Day, in order to allow Lender to
     conduct  appropriate  due  diligence  on the  Borrowing  Base.  The initial
     Advance  under  the Line of  Credit  shall be in a  minimum  amount of Four
     Million  Dollars  ($4,000,000),  and in integral  multiples  of Two Hundred
     Fifty Thousand Dollars  ($250,000).  Subsequent  Advances under the Line of
     Credit  made on any  borrowing  date  shall be in  minimum  amounts  of Two
     Hundred Fifth Thousand Dollars  ($250,000) and in integral multiples of Two
     Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  ($250,000).  No Advance shall be made by
     Lender unless and until all conditions precedent to subsequent Advances set
     forth in Section 6.2 hereof have been met. Lender has no commitment to make
     Advances, even if the conditions precedent to subsequent Advances set forth
     in Section 6.2 have been met.

          (b)  General.  All  Advances  by Lender  under the Line of Credit  and
     payments by  Borrower on the Line of Credit  shall be recorded by Lender on
     its books and records,  and the principal  amount  outstanding from time to
     time, plus interest and fees payable thereon,  shall be determined from the
     books and  records of  Lender.  The books and  records  of Lender  shall be
     presumed prima facie correct as to such matters.

     Section 2.9   Taxes.

          (a)  General.  All  payments by Borrower  under this  Agreement or the
     Credit  Notes  shall be made free and clear of, and  without  deduction  or
     withholding  for,  any  present  or future  income,  stamp or other  taxes,
     levies, duties, imposts, charges or fees or any related penalties, interest
     or other liabilities ("Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be deducted or
     withheld  from any amount  payable to Lender  under this  Agreement  or the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Page 13

<PAGE>

     Credit  Notes,  Borrower  shall pay  additional  amounts so that the amount
     received by Lender after the  deduction of such Taxes  (including  Taxes on
     such additional  amounts) equals the amount that Lender would have received
     if no Taxes had been deducted. Borrower shall pay to the appropriate taxing
     authority all Taxes required to be deducted or withheld. Within thirty (30)
     days after  paying any such  Taxes,  Borrower  shall  deliver to Lender the
     original or a certified  copy of the  receipt  for such  payment.  Borrower
     shall not be required to pay additional amounts to Lender on account of any
     Taxes,  including,  but not limited to,  income  taxes,  imposed  solely by
     reason of a present or past connection  between Lender and the jurisdiction
     imposing such Taxes (except a connection arising solely from the execution,
     delivery, performance, enforcement of or the receipt of payments under this
     Agreement or the Credit Notes).

          (b) Tax Indemnity.  Borrower shall indemnify  Lender against any Taxes
     imposed on (and any  related  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by) Lender on
     account of the  execution,  delivery,  performance or enforcement of or the
     receipt of payments  under this  Agreement  or the Credit  Notes other than
     Taxes imposed solely by reason of the cause  specified in the last sentence
     of Section  2.9(b)  hereof.  Borrower also shall pay and  indemnify  Lender
     against any stamp or other documentary, excise or property taxes or similar
     levies,  imposts,  or charges (or any related  liability)  arising from the
     execution,  delivery,  registration,  performance  or  enforcement  of this
     Agreement or the Credit Notes.

     Section 2.10   Changes in Capital  Adequacy  Regulations.  If Lender or any
Participant  determines  the  amount  of  capital  required  or  expected  to be
maintained by Lender or any Participant or any corporation controlling Lender or
any Participant is increased as a result of a Change,  then, within fifteen (15)
days of demand by Lender,  Borrower  shall pay Lender  the amount  necessary  to
compensate  for any  shortfall  in the rate of  return  on the  portion  of such
increased capital which Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, the
Line of Credit or its commitment to make Advances  hereunder  (after taking into
account Lender's policies as to capital adequacy). "Change" means (a) any change
after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based  Capital  Guidelines,  or (b)
any adoption of or change in any other law,  governmental or  quasi-governmental
rule, regulation,  policy, guideline,  interpretation,  or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement  which affects the
amount  of  capital  required  or  expected  to be  maintained  by Lender or any
corporation  controlling  Lender.  "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the
risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this
Agreement,  including  transition  rules,  and  (ii) the  corresponding  capital
regulations  promulgated  by  regulatory  authorities  outside the United States
implementing  the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking  Regulation
and  Supervisory  Practices  Entitled  "International   Convergence  of  Capital
Measurements  and  Capital  Standards,"  including  transition  rules,  and  any
amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3.  SECURITY AND GUARANTY

  Section 3.1   Security. The Obligations shall be secured by the following:

          (a) the Security  Agreement  constituting  a first  priority  security
     interest in the Collateral,  other than  Collateral  subject to an Approved
     First Capital Lien; and

          (b) such other  security  interests  as may be  described  in the Loan
     Documents.

minimum balance of $500,000 in the Collateral  Account at all times. As provided
in  Section  2.3(c),  Lender  is  authorized  to  withdraw  the  payment  of all
Obligations due hereunder from the Collateral  Account.  Upon the occurrence and
during the  continuance  of a Default,  Lender (and any such  Participant of the
Line of Credit) is authorized at any time and from time to time,  without notice
to Borrower,  and shall have the right to setoff,  appropriate and apply its own
debt  or  liability  to  Borrower,  or  to  any  other  Person  liable  for  the
Obligations,  in whole or  partial  payment of any  Obligation  in such order or
manner as Lender may reasonably  determine,  without any  requirements of mutual
maturity.

provisions of the Loan Documents violate, breach, contravene,  conflict with, or
cause a default under any provision of the articles of organization or operating
agreement of Borrower or any  provision of any existing  note,  bond,  mortgage,
debenture,   indenture,  trust,  license,  lease,  instrument,   decree,  order,

Subsidiaries' financial condition.

     Section 4.7   Binding Obligations. Each of the Loan Documents,  when issued
for value,  will constitute a legal,  valid and binding  obligation of Borrower,

laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights.

     Section 4.8   Lack of Encumbrances.  The  Collateral  is not subject to any
Lien, other than Permitted Encumbrances,  and the security interests in favor of

to any of the Collateral,  has been filed in any state or other jurisdiction and

conditions contained in any material contract or agreement to which the Combined
Entity is a party,  including,  but not limited to, those contracts  relating to
the Eligible Insurance Commissions. There are no outstanding claims of breach or
indemnification  or notice of default or  termination  with  respect to any such
contracts or agreements.

     Section 4.11   Tax Returns.  All tax  returns or reports of Borrower or the
Combined  Entity  required by law have been filed,  and all taxes,  assessments,
contributions,  fees and other governmental  charges (other than those presently
payable  without penalty or interest and those currently being contested in good
faith and against which adequate  reserves have been  established) upon Borrower
or its assets, properties or income, which are payable, have been paid.

     Section 4.12   Litigation. Except as set forth on any Schedule 4.13 hereto,
no litigation or  proceeding  of any  Governmental  Authority or other Person is
presently  pending  or  threatened,  nor has any claim  been  asserted,  against

<PAGE>

Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC. Neither a "reportable  event",
nor a "prohibited  transaction",  has occurred under, nor has there occurred any
complete or partial  withdrawal  from,  nor has there  occurred  any other event
which  would  constitute  grounds for  termination  of or the  appointment  of a
trustee to administer any "employee benefit plan" (including any "multi-employer
plan")  maintained for employees of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate,  all within
the meanings ascribed by ERISA.

     Section 4.14   Full  Disclosure. No  information, exhibit,  memorandum,  or
report (excluding  estimated future operating  results) furnished by Borrower to
Lender in connection  with the  negotiation  of the Line of Credit  contains any
material  misstatement of fact, or omits to state any fact necessary to make the
statements  contained  therein  not  materially   misleading  in  light  of  the
circumstances  when  made,  and  all  estimated  future  operating  results,  if
furnished, were prepared on the basis of assumptions,  data, information,  tests
or other  conditions  believed  to be valid or  accurate or to exist at the time
such  estimates  were prepared and  furnished.  To Borrower's  knowledge,  there
presently  exists no fact or  circumstance  relative to Borrower or the Combined
Entity,  whether or not  disclosed,  which is  presently  anticipated  to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.15   Contracts of Surety. Except for the endorsements of Borrower
of negotiable  instruments  for deposit or collection in the ordinary  course of
business, Borrower is not a party to any contract of guaranty or surety.

       Section 4.17   Compliance  with Law. Borrower and the Combined Entity are
in compliance with and conformity with all laws, ordinances,  rules, regulations
and all other legal requirements  applicable to their respective  businesses and
assets,  the violation of which would have a material effect on their respective
businesses or financial condition.  Neither Borrower nor the Combined Entity has
received  nor does it have a  reasonable  basis to expect any order or notice of
violation or claim of violation of any law, ordinance,  rules or regulation. The
properties on which  Borrower or the Combined  Entity is conducting its business
are properly zoned for the activities  conducted or to be conducted thereon, and
all required variances have been obtained, and are in full force and effect with
no notice or threat of invalidity, expiration or lapse of any kind.

     Section 4.18   Force Majeure. Neither the business  nor the  properties  of
Borrower or the Combined Entity are presently  affected by any fire,  explosion,
accident,  strike,  lockout  or  other  labor  dispute,  drought,  storm,  hail,
earthquake,  embargo,  act of God or of the public enemy or other  casualty that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.19   Margin  Stock. Neither  Borrower nor the Combined  Entity is
engaged in the business of  extending  credit for the purpose of  purchasing  or
carrying  margin  stock  (within  the  meaning of  Regulation  U of the Board of
Governors  of the Federal  Reserve  System),  and no part of the proceeds of the
Line of Credit will be used,  either  directly or  indirectly,  for the purpose,
whether  immediate,  incidental or remote,  of purchasing or carrying any margin
stock or of extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
any margin  stock,  and Borrower  shall furnish to Lender,  upon its request,  a
statement in conformity with the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

requirements  of Federal  Reserve  Board Form U-1 referred to in  Regulation  U.

purpose  that  violates,  or which  is  inconsistent  with,  the  provisions  of
Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

exemption  of any  Governmental  Authority  is required in  connection  with the
execution and delivery by Borrower of the Loan  Documents,  the  borrowings  and
performance by Borrower thereunder or the issuance of the Credit Notes.

that term as defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code and is able to pay its debts
as they mature.

     Section 4.22  Regulation.  Borrower  is not  an "investment company" within
the meaning of the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended,  or a "holding

company"  within the meanings of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended.

     Section 4.23  Environmental Matters.  Borrower has no reason to believe and
has not  received  any  notice  to the  effect  that its  operations  are not in
compliance with any of the requirements of applicable  Environmental Laws or are
the  subject  of any  federal  or state  investigation  evaluating  whether  any
remedial  action is needed to respond to a release of any  Hazardous  Materials.
Except as  disclosed in writing to Lender as of the date of this  Agreement,  to
the best of Borrower's  knowledge  after due inquiry  (provided  that clause (e)

ARTICLE 8.  REMEDY

     Section 8.1   Acceleration.  If any Default described in Section 7 item (f)
or (g) occurs,  the Line of Credit and the commitment of Lender to make Advances
under the Line of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall
immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of
Lender. If any other Default occurs, Lender may terminate the Line of Credit and
declare the Obligations to be due and payable,  whereupon the Obligations  shall
become  immediately due and payable,  without  presentment,  demand,  protest or
notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.

     Section 8.2  Remedy.  Upon   the  occurrence  of  a  Default,   Lender  may
immediately  proceed to exercise  all  remedies  available  to it under the Loan
Documents or otherwise under  applicable law. No right or remedy  conferred upon
or reserved to Lender  under the Loan  Documents  is intended to be exclusive of
any  other  available  remedy  or  right,  but each and  every  remedy  shall be
cumulative  and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other remedy now or
hereafter  existing  at law or in equity.  No single or partial  exercise of any
power or right  shall  preclude  any  further or other  exercise of any power or
right.

     Section 8.3   Preservation  of Rights.  No delay or  omission  of Lender to
exercise any power or right under the Loan Documents  shall impair such power or
right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence  therein,
and any  single or partial  exercise  of any power or right  shall not  preclude
other or further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
No Advance  hereunder  shall  constitute  a waiver of any of the  conditions  of
Lender's  obligation  to make further  Advances,  nor, in the event  Borrower is
unable to satisfy any such  condition,  shall a waiver of such  condition in any
one instance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such
inability to be a Default hereunder.  No course of dealing shall be binding upon
Lender.

ARTICLE 9.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

     Section 9.1   Benefit of  Agreement; Participation.  Lender will accept the
Credit  Notes as  evidence of loans made in the  ordinary  course of its lending
business.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement,  the Credit Notes and the
other Loan Documents  shall be binding

<PAGE>

upon and inure to the  benefit  of  Borrower  and  Lender  and their  respective
successors and assigns of their entire interests, except that Borrower shall not
have the right to assign this  Agreement.  Lender may, in the ordinary course of
its business and in accordance  with  applicable law, at any time sell to one or
more banks or other  entities  ("Participants")  participating  interests in the
Line of Credit  owing to  Lender,  any  Credit  Note held by Lender or any other
interest of Lender under the Loan Documents on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis.
In the  event  of any  such  sale by  Lender  of  participating  interests  to a
Participant,   Lender's  obligations  under  the  Loan  Documents  shall  remain
unchanged,  Lender shall remain solely  responsible  to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such  obligations,  Lender shall remain the holder of any
such Credit Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents,  all amounts payable
by Borrower under this  Agreement  shall be determined as if Lender had not sold
such  participating  interests,  and Borrower  shall continue to deal solely and
directly with Lender in connection with Lender's  rights and  obligations  under
the Loan Documents.

     Section 9.2 Survival of Representations.  All  representations,  warranties
and  agreements  of  Borrower  contained  in the Loan  Documents  shall  survive
delivery of the Credit Notes and the making of the Line of Credit.

     Section 9.3  Governmental Regulation.  Anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding,  Lender shall not be obligated to extend credit
to  Borrower in  violation  of any  limitation  or  prohibition  provided by any
applicable statute or regulation.

     Section 9.4  Conflict. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
interpreted,  wherever possible, in a manner consistent with one another, but in
the event of any irreconcilable inconsistency, this Agreement shall control.

     Section 9.5 Choice of Law. The Loan Documents  (other than those containing
a contrary  express choice of law  provision) and the rights and  obligations of
the parties  thereunder  and  hereunder  shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, notwithstanding
the fact  that  Indiana  conflict  of law  rules  might  otherwise  require  the
substantive  rules of law of  another  jurisdiction  to apply.  Borrower  hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within Marion
County,  Indiana.  All  service of process may be made by  messenger,  certified
mail, return receipt requested or by registered mail directed to Borrower at the
address indicated aside its signature to this Agreement,  and Borrower otherwise
waives  personal  service of any and all process  made upon  Borrower.  Borrower
waives any objection  which Borrower may have to any  proceeding  commenced in a
federal  or state  court  located  within  Marion  County,  Indiana,  based upon
improper venue or forum non conveniens.  Nothing contained in this Section shall
affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner  permitted
by law or to bring any action or proceeding  against Borrower or its property in
the courts of any other jurisdiction.

     Section 9.6   Headings.  Section  headings  in the Loan  Documents  are for
convenience of reference only and shall not govern the  interpretation of any of
the provisions of the Loan Documents.

     Section 9.7   Entire  Agreement.  The  Loan  Documents  embody  the  entire
agreement and understanding  between Borrower and Lender and supersede all prior
agreements  and  understandings  between  Borrower  and Lender  relating  to the
subject matter thereof.

     Section 9.8   Expenses.  Borrower  shall  reimburse  Lender for any and all
reasonable  costs,  charges and  out-of-pocket  expenses  (including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and time charges of attorneys for Lender),  paid or incurred by
Lender  in  connection  with  the  preparation,   review,  execution,  delivery,
amendment, modification,  administration, collection and enforcement of the Line
of Credit  and/or  the Loan  Documents  and in  connection  with the  conduct by
Lender's  internal  auditors of periodic  field (twice  annually)  and servicing
audits of Borrower.  Lender may pay or deduct from the loan proceeds any of such
expenses,  and any proceeds so applied shall be deemed to be Advances under this
Agreement  evidenced by the Credit Notes and secured by the Loan Documents,  and
shall bear interest at the rate of interest provided in the Credit Notes.

     Section 9.9   Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender, and its
successors and assigns  (including any purchaser of a participation  in the Line
of Credit),  and their  directors,  officers and employees,  against all losses,
claims, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation,
all expenses of litigation or  preparation  therefor (a "Loss"),  which they may
pay or incur  in  connection  with or  arising  out of the  direct  or  indirect
application of the proceeds of the Line of Credit hereunder;  provided, however,
that no  indemnification  shall be required if it has been determined by a court
of competent  jurisdiction  that such Loss was caused by the gross negligence or
willful  misconduct  of  Lender.  The  indemnity  set forth  herein  shall be in
addition to any other  Obligations of Borrower to Lender  hereunder or at common
law or  otherwise,  and shall survive any  termination  of this  Agreement,  the
expiration  of the  obligation  of  Lender  to make the Line of  Credit  and the
payment of all Obligations.

     Section 9.10   Confidentiality.  Lender  agrees  to treat  all  information
received by it in connection  with the Loan Documents  (except such  information
which is  generally  available  or has been made  available  to the  public)  as
confidential,  provided,  however,  that  nothing  in this  Section  9.10  shall
prohibit  Lender from, or subject Lender to liability  for,  disclosing any such
information  to any  Governmental  Authority  to whose  jurisdiction  Lender  is
subject,  and  provided  further  that Lender may provide  such  information  to
proposed purchasers of or participants in the Line of Credit from time to time.

     Section 9.11   Giving Notice. Any notice  required or permitted to be given
under this  Agreement  may be, and shall be deemed  effective if made in writing
and  delivered to the  recipient's  address,  telex  number or facsimile  number

first class,  registered or certified mail, or one (1) Banking Day after deposit
with an overnight  courier service if delivered by overnight  courier.  Borrower

in writing to the other parties hereto.

     Section 9.12   Counterparts. This  Agreement  may be executed in any number
of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and

     Section 9.13   Incorporation   by   Reference.   All  Exhibits  hereto  are
incorporated herein by this reference. Each of the other Loan Documents shall be
made  subject  to  all  of  the  terms,  covenants,   conditions,   obligations,
stipulations  and agreements  contained in this Agreement to the same extent and
effect as if fully set forth therein,  and this Agreement is made subject to all
of the terms, covenants,  conditions,  obligations,  stipulations and agreements
contained in the other Loan  Documents to the same extent and effect as if fully
set  forth  therein.  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  including,  without
limitation, provisions relating to maintenance of insurance, are in addition to,
and not a limitation  upon, the  requirements  of any other Loan Document or any
subordination agreement.

     Section  9.14  Time of  Essence.  Time is of the  essence  under  the  Loan
Documents.

     Section 9.15   No Joint Venture.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary
herein  contained  or  implied,  Lender,  by this  Agreement,  or by any  action
pursuant  hereto,  shall not be deemed to be a partner  of, or a joint  venturer
with,  Borrower,  and Borrower hereby  indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold
Lender harmless,  including the payment of reasonable  attorneys' fees, from any
Loss resulting from any judicial  construction  of the parties'  relationship as
such.

     Section 9.16   Relationship  of  Parties;  Waiver of Consequential Damages.
The  relationship  between  Borrower and Lender shall be solely that of borrower
and lender.  Lender shall not have any fiduciary  responsibilities  to Borrower.
Lender  undertakes no responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of
any matter in connection  with any phase of Borrower's  business or  operations.
Lender shall not have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives,
releases  and  agrees  not to sue for,  any  special  or  consequential  damages
suffered by it in connection with,  arising out of, or in any way related to the
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

     Section 9.17   Severability.  In  the event any provision of this Agreement
or any of the Loan Documents shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court
of  competent  jurisdiction,   such  holding  shall  not  affect  the  validity,
enforceability or legality of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, all of
which shall continue unaffected and unimpaired thereby.

     Section 9.18   Gender. As used herein, the masculine gender shall be deemed
to  include  the  feminine  and the neuter and the  singular  number  shall also
include the plural.

     Section 9.19   Waiver  and  Amendment.  Borrower  and Lender may enter into
agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying provisions
of this Agreement or changing the respective rights, powers, privileges, duties,
liabilities,  covenants  or  obligations  of Lender or  Borrower  or waiving any
Default hereunder, provided, however, that no such agreements supplemental shall
be binding  unless in writing and duly signed by the  parties  hereto,  and then
only to the extent specifically set forth therein.

     Section 9.20   Lender  Not in  Control.  None  of the  covenants  or  other
provisions  contained in the Loan Documents  shall,  or shall be deemed to, give
Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management
of  Borrower,  the power of Lender  being  limited to the right to exercise  the
remedies  provided  in the Loan  Documents,  provided,  however,  that if Lender
becomes the owner of any stock or other equity  interest in any Person,  whether
through  foreclosure  or  otherwise,   Lender  shall  be  entitled  (subject  to
requirements  of law) to exercise  such legal rights as it may have by virtue of
being the owner of such stock or other equity interest in such Person.

<PAGE>

     Section 9.21   Conflict.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
be interpreted,  wherever possible, in a manner consistent with one another, but
in the event of any irreconcilable inconsistency, this Agreement shall control.

     Section 9.22   WAIVER  OF JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING
OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL,  KNOWINGLY,  VOLUNTARILY,
INTENTIONALLY,  UNCONDITIONALLY  AND IRREVOCABLY  WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION  BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,  DEALING,  STATEMENTS  (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN),  OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM.  NEITHER LENDER NOR BORROWER SHALL SEEK
TO CONSOLIDATE,  BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE,  ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL
HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT
BEEN WAIVED.  THESE  PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY
RESPECT  OR  RELINQUISHED  BY  EITHER  LENDER  OR  BORROWER  EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN
INSTRUMENT  EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
LENDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

     Section 9.23   Limitation  of  Advances.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that
the  ability  of Lender to make  Advances  under the Line of Credit in excess of
$5,000,000 is contingent  upon Lender and GVC Financial  Services,  LLC locating
additional  Participants.  GVC Financial Services, LLC and Lender have agreed to
use reasonable efforts to locate additional  Participants sufficient to increase
the Line of Credit to  $15,000,000,  but Lender has made no commitment to locate
such additional  Participants  and Borrower has made no commitment to accept any
additional Participants.

     Section 9.24   Press Releases. Except as may be required by applicable  law
(but only with prior notice to the other party),  Borrower and Lender agree that
no public  information  releases or press  releases shall be made with regard to
the existence or subject matter of the Loan Documents  without the prior written
consent of the other party.

(as applicable) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction as
a result of actions by the issuer or otherwise, or, if such certificates are not
Securities,  the Borrower has so informed the Lender so that the Lender may take
steps to perfect its security interest therein as a General Intangible.

ARTICLE 4.  AGREEMENTS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS

     Section 4.1  Location. The Borrower will give the Lender  written notice of
each  office of the  Borrower  at which  records  of the  Borrower  relative  to
Accounts  are kept.  Except  where  such  notice is given,  all  records  of the
Borrower relative to Accounts are and will be kept at the chief executive office
of the Borrower.

     Section 4.2 Returns and Repossessions. Prior to the occurrence of a Default
or  Unmatured  Default,  the  Borrower  may  grant,  in the  ordinary  course of
business,  to any Account Debtor, any rebate, refund or adjustment to which such
Account Debtor may be lawfully entitled and may accept, in connection therewith,
the  return of Goods,  the sale or lease of which  shall  have given rise to the
obligation of the Account Debtor,  subject,  however,  to the Lender's  security
interest therein and in any Proceeds arising from the disposition thereof. After
the  occurrence  of a Default or an Unmatured  Default,  no discount,  credit or
allowance shall be granted by the Borrower to any Account Debtor,  and no return
of Goods shall be accepted by the Borrower  without the Lender's  prior  written
consent.

     Section 4.3 Schedule of Accounts. Upon reasonable request by the Lender the
Borrower will, from time to time,  deliver to the Lender a schedule  identifying
each  Account  ("Schedule  of  Accounts"),  together  with  such  schedules  and
certificates  and reports relative to all or any of the Collateral and the items
or amounts received by the Borrower in full or partial payment or otherwise,  as
Proceeds of any of the Collateral.  Each Schedule of Accounts or other schedule,
certificate or report shall be executed by its duly authorized officer and shall
be in the form specified by the Lender; provided, however, that each Schedule of
Accounts  may omit any  information  that would  cause the  Borrower  to violate
applicable  privacy or other laws.  The Borrower  shall take  reasonable  steps,
including,  but not limited to, the negotiation and execution of confidentiality
agreements,  in regard  to each  Schedule  of  Accounts  necessary  to allow the
Borrower  to  disclose  as much  information  as  possible  in said  Schedule of
Accounts without violating any applicable  privacy or other law. Any Schedule of
Accounts  identifying any Account shall be accompanied,  if the Lender requests,
(a) by a true and  correct  copy of the  contract  or  invoice  evidencing  such
Account, (b) by evidence of shipment,  delivery or performance,  and (c) if such
request shall be made after the occurrence of a Default or an Unmatured Default,
by a duly  executed  assignment of such Account from the Borrower to the Lender;
provided,  however,  that the Borrower's failure to execute and deliver any such
Schedule of Account  and/or  assignment  shall not affect or limit the  Lender's
security  interest or other rights in and to Accounts,  and  provided,  further,
that a proper  assignment of any Account wherein the United States Government is
the Account  Debtor may be  requested  by the Lender at any time  whether or not
there shall have occurred a Default or Unmatured Default.

          institution  in which it maintains  (a) a Deposit  Account,  including
          each Deposit  Account  maintained by the Borrower into which all cash,
          checks, or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments
          made in respect of Accounts will be deposited (a  "Collateral  Deposit
          Account"),  to enter into a control agreement with the Lender, in form
          and substance  satisfactory  to the Lender in order to give the Lender
          Control of the  Deposit  Account  or (b) other  deposits  (general  or
          special,  time or demand,  provisional or final) to be notified of the
          security  interest granted to the Lender hereunder and cause each such
          bank or other financial  institution to acknowledge such  notification

          Lender or  transferring  dominion  and  control  over each such  other
          deposit  to  the  Lender  until  such  time  as  no  Default   exists.

          for  Deposit  Accounts  specifically  identified  in an  intercreditor
          agreement executed by the Lender as being subject to an Approved First
          Capital Lien.

          forth in  Appendix  I hereto,  which  lock  boxes  shall be subject to
          irrevocable  lockbox  agreements  in the form provided by or otherwise
          acceptable to the Lender and shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment
          by the bank  where the Lock Box is  located  of the Lien of the Lender

          collected therein to the Collection  Account (as hereinafter  defined)
          (a  "Lock  Box  Agreement").  Upon  the  occurrence  of a  Default  or
          Unmatured  Default,  (a) the Borrower  shall direct all of its Account
          Debtors of Accounts which  constitute First Lien Collateral to forward
          payments  directly to Lock Boxes subject to Lock Box  Agreements,  (b)
          the Lender  shall have sole  access to the Lock Boxes at all times and
          the Borrower shall take all actions necessary to grant the Lender such
          sole access,  (c) at no time shall the  Borrower  remove any item from
          the Lock Box or from a Collateral Deposit Account without the Lender's
          prior written consent, (d) if the Borrower should refuse or neglect to
          notify any Account Debtor to forward  payments  directly to a Lock Box
          subject to a Lock Box  Agreement  after  notice from the  Lender,  the
          Lender shall be entitled to make such notification

          directly  to Account  Debtor,  (e) if  notwithstanding  the  foregoing
          instructions,  the  Borrower  receives  any  proceeds of any  Accounts
          constituting  First Lien  Collateral,  the Borrower shall receive such
          payments as the Lender's trustee,  and shall  immediately  deposit all
          cash,  checks or other  similar  payments  related to or  constituting
          payments  made  in  respect  of  such  Accounts  received  by  it to a
          Collateral Deposit Account,  (f) all funds deposited into any Lock Box
          subject to a Lock Box Agreement or a Collateral  Deposit  Account will
          be swept on a daily basis into a collection  account maintained by the
          Borrower  with Bank One,  N.A.,  or its  successors  (the  "Collection
          Account"), and (g) the Lender shall hold and apply funds received into
          the Collection Account as provided by the terms of Section 4.5(c).

          (b)  Covenant  Regarding  New Deposit  Accounts;  Lock  Boxes.  Before
     opening or  replacing  any  Collateral  Deposit  Account  or other  Deposit
     Account  or  establishing  any new Lock Box in regard  to which the  Lender
     holds or is to hold a first  priority  security  interest  in and lien upon
     pursuant  to this  Security  Agreement  or any  other  Loan  Document,  the
     Borrower shall (a) obtain the Lender's consent in writing to the opening of
     such  Deposit  Account or Lock Box,  and (b) cause  each bank or  financial
     institution in which it seeks to open (i) a Deposit Account,  to enter into
     a Deposit  Account  Control  Agreement with the Lender in order to give the
     Lender Control of such Deposit Account, or (ii) a Lock Box, to enter into a
     Lock Box Agreement  with the Lender in order to give the Lender  Control of
     the Lock Box.

          (c)  Application  of Proceeds;  Deficiency.  Upon the  occurrence of a
     Default or an Unmatured  Default,  all amounts  deposited in the Collection
     Account  shall be deemed  received  by the  Lender in  accordance  with the
     Credit  Agreement  and shall,  after  having been  credited in  immediately
     available  funds to the  Collection  Account,  be  applied by the Lender in
     accordance  with the Credit  Agreement.  In no event shall any amount be so
     applied   unless  and  until  such  amount  shall  have  been  credited  in
     immediately  available  funds to the Collection  Account.  The Lender shall
     require all other cash proceeds of the  Collateral,  which are not required
     to be applied to the Liabilities  pursuant to the Credit  Agreement,  to be
     deposited in a special  non-interest bearing cash collateral account with a
     bank of Lender's  choosing and held there as security for the  Liabilities.
     The Borrower  shall have no control  whatsoever  over said cash  collateral
     account.  Any such proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied in the order
     set forth in the Credit Agreement unless a court of competent  jurisdiction
     shall otherwise direct.  The balance,  if any, after all of the Liabilities
     have been  satisfied,  shall be deposited by the Lender into the Borrower's
     general  operating  account.  The  Borrower  shall  remain  liable  for any
     deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are
     insufficient  to pay all  Liabilities,  including any  attorneys'  fees and
     other expenses incurred by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

     Section 4.6 Accounts Owed by the Federal  Government.  If any Account shall
arise out of a contract  with the United States of America,  or any  department,
agency,  subdivision,  or instrumentality  thereof,  the Borrower shall promptly
notify the Lender  thereof in writing and shall take all other action  requested
by the Lender to protect the Lender's  security  interest in such Account  under
the provisions of the federal Assignment of Claims Act, as amended.

request of Lender, assign such security interest to the Lender.

equitable title to the  Intellectual  Property and shall have the right to bring
any opposition proceedings,  cancellation proceedings or lawsuit in its own name
to enforce,  protect and use the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of
its business, but shall not be permitted,  except with the prior written consent
of the Lender, to sell, assign,  transfer or otherwise encumber the Intellectual
Property,  other than licensings or other dispositions in the ordinary course of
business  or to  resolve  litigation  or  disputed  claims  brought  or  made by
unrelated parties.

     Section  5.4  Verification  of  Intellectual   Property.  The  Lender,  its

reasonable  procedures,  directly with  licensees or by other  methods,  and the
Borrower  shall  furnish to the Lender upon request  schedules  of  Intellectual
Property and licenses,  together with other information  relating  thereto,  and
shall do, make and deliver all such additional and further acts, things,  deeds,
assurances and instruments as the Lender may reasonably  require with respect to
the Intellectual  Property,  including,  without limitation,  the licenses.  The
Borrower  shall  promptly  notify  the  Lender,  if it knows  that any  material
application  or  registration  relating  to  Intellectual  Property  may  become
abandoned or dedicated to the public,  or of any material adverse  determination
or development  (including any claim) regarding the Intellectual Property or any
material license with respect thereto, or regarding its right to register,  keep
and  maintain  the same,  or if it knows  that a material  item of  Intellectual
Property is materially  infringed or  misappropriated  by a third party, and, in
any such event,  unless (a) the  Lender,  or (b) the Board of  Directors  of the
Borrower in the  exercise  of its  reasonable  business  judgment  after  having
considered  the advice of reputable  intellectual  property  counsel  shall have
determined that  litigation is  inappropriate  or unadvisable,  promptly sue for
infringement or misappropriation.

or acquire any certificated  securities,  the Borrower shall forthwith  endorse,
assign and deliver the same to the Lender,  accompanied  by such  instruments of

time specify. If any certificated securities or other investment property now or
hereafter  acquired  by the  Borrower  are held by the  Borrower  or its nominee
through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary,  the Borrower shall
immediately  notify the Lender thereof and, at the Lender's  request and option,
pursuant  to an  agreement  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Lender,
either (i) cause such securities  intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity
intermediary to agree to comply with  entitlement  orders or other  instructions

held  through a  securities  intermediary,  arrange for the Lender to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment  property,  with the Borrower
being  permitted,  only with the  consent of the Lender,  to exercise  rights to
withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property.

     Section 7.6 Fixtures.  The Borrower  shall not permit any item of Equipment
to become a Fixture to real estate or an  accession  to any other  property  not
subject to the  Lender's  security  interest  herein  without the prior  written
consent of the Lender. If any Equipment is or will be attached to real estate in
such a manner  as to become a  fixture,  such real  estate  is  encumbered,  the
Borrower  will,  upon the request of the Lender,  obtain from the holder of such
real estate  encumbrance  a written  consent and  subordination  to the security
interest  hereby  granted,  or a  written  disclaimer  of any  interest  in such
Collateral, in a form acceptable to the Lender.

ARTICLE 8.  GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING COLLATERAL

     Section 8.1 Title to  After-Acquired  Collateral.  All Collateral  acquired
after  the date  hereof  will be  acquired  by the  Borrower  free of any  lien,
security interest or encumbrance, except Permitted Encumbrances.

     Section 8.2 Further  Assurances.  The Borrower agrees to do such reasonable
acts and things and deliver or cause to be delivered such other documents as the
Lender may deem necessary to establish and maintain a valid security interest in
the   Collateral   (free  of  all  other  liens  and  claims  except   Permitted
Encumbrances)  to secure the payment and  performance of the  Liabilities and to
defend title to the Collateral  against any Person claiming any interest therein
adverse to the Lender  (other than the holders of Permitted  Encumbrances).  The
Borrower  authorizes the Lender, at the expense of the Borrower,  to execute and
file a financing  statement or statements on its behalf in those public  offices
deemed advisable or necessary by the Lender to protect the security interests of
the Lender  herein  granted.  If permitted  by law,  the Borrower  agrees that a
carbon,  photographic or other  reproduction of this Security  Agreement or of a
financing statement may be filed as a financing statement.

     Section 8.3 Insurance.

          (a) The Borrower shall have and maintain at all times, with respect to
     Inventory and Equipment,  insurance written by companies  acceptable to the
     Lender covering risks  customarily  insured against by companies engaged in
     business similar to that of the Borrower in reasonable amounts,  containing
     such terms,  in such form, and for such periods  customarily  maintained by
     companies  engaged  in  business  similar  to  that of the  Borrower.  Such
     insurance  shall  be  payable  to the  Borrower  and the  Lender  as  their
     interests may appear.

          (b) All such insurance policies shall carry standard, non-contributory
     lender's  loss  payable  clauses in favor of the Lender (to the extent such
     Inventory or Equipment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 13

<PAGE>

     constitutes First Lien Collateral).  The insurance certificates  evidencing
     the  Borrower's  compliance  with the  above  shall be  deposited  with the
     Lender,  and in the  event the  Borrower  fails to file and  maintain  such
     insurance,  the Lender may, at its option,  purchase such insurance and the
     cost of such insurance  shall become a Liability  secured by these presents
     and all sums expended  shall bear  interest at the highest  Default rate of
     interest set forth in the Credit  Agreement until paid. If requested by the
     Lender, the Borrower shall deliver certified copies of such policies to the
     Lender. The Borrower shall pay all insurance premiums promptly when due and
     shall  provide  substitute  policies of insurance  should the Lender at any
     time reject, for reasonable cause, any such policies of insurance furnished
     by the  Borrower.  In the event that a Default  or  Unmatured  Default  has
     occurred and is continuing,  the Borrower  hereby assigns to the Lender the
     proceeds of all such insurance,  including, without limitation, any premium
     refunds, to the extent of the Liabilities, shall direct the insurer to make
     payment of any losses or refunds  directly to the Lender,  and appoints the
     Lender its  attorney-in-fact  to endorse any draft,  check or other form of
     payment made by such insurer.

     Section  8.4  Collection  of  Collateral.  The  Borrower  will,  at its own
expense,  endeavor to collect,  as and when due, all amounts due with respect to
any  Collateral  including  the  taking  of such  action  with  respect  to such
collection  as the  Lender may  reasonably  request  or, in the  absence of such
request, as the Borrower may deem advisable.

     Section 8.5 Lender May Defend Title. In the event the Borrower fails to pay
any taxes,  assessments,  premiums,  or fees, or fails to discharge any liens or
claims against the Collateral required to be paid or discharged by the Borrower,
or fails to purchase,  maintain and file with the Lender any insurance  required
by this Security  Agreement,  or if any such insurance is  inappropriate  to the
situation, in the Lender's reasonable discretion, the Lender may, without demand
or notice, pay any such taxes,  assessments,  premiums or fees, or pay, acquire,
satisfy  or  discharge  any  liens or claims  asserted  against  the  Collateral
(without any obligation to determine the validity thereof), or purchase any such
insurance.  All sums so expended by the Lender shall become a Liability  secured
by these  presents  and shall  bear  interest  at the  highest  Default  rate of
interest set forth in the Credit Agreement until paid.

     Section 8.6 Negotiable Collateral. If any First Lien Collateral,  including
Proceeds,  consists of a letter of credit,  certificates of deposit,  negotiable
Documents  (other than checks received by the Borrower in the ordinary course of
business),  or chattel  paper,  the  Borrower  shall,  immediately  upon receipt
thereof,  endorse  and assign  such  Collateral,  and  deliver  actual  physical
possession thereof,  to the Lender, and prior to such delivery,  shall hold such
property in trust for the Lender.  Schedule 5 hereto is a true and correct  list
of all such negotiable Collateral owned by the Borrower.  The Borrower will give
the Lender written notice each time it acquires such additional negotiable First
Lien Collateral.

     Section 8.7  Contracts.  The Borrower  shall  remain  liable to perform its
obligations  under any  contracts  included in the  Collateral  to the extent as
though this Security  Agreement had not been entered into,  and the Lender shall
not have any obligation under any such contracts by reason of this Agreement.

     Section 8.8 Inspection of Collateral and Records.  During  Borrower's usual
business hours,  the Lender may inspect and examine the Collateral and check and
test the same as to quality, quantity, value, and condition;  provided, however,
that the Borrower may refuse to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 14

<PAGE>

disclose any  information  regarding  Accounts  that would cause the Borrower to
violate  applicable  privacy or other laws. The Borrower  shall take  reasonable
steps,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  negotiation  and  execution  of
confidentiality  agreements with the Lender, in regard to each Account necessary
to allow the Borrower to disclose as much  information as possible to the Lender
regarding said Accounts without  violating any applicable  privacy or other law.
The  Lender  shall  also have the right at any time or times  hereafter,  during
Borrower's  usual business hours or during the usual business hours of any third
party having  control over the records of the  Borrower,  to inspect  Borrower's
books and  records in order to verify the amount or  condition  of, or any other
matter  relating to, the Collateral and  Borrower's  financial  condition and to
copy and make extracts from such books and records. Borrower waives the right to
assert a confidential relationship, if any, it may have with any accounting firm
in  connection  with any  information  requested by the Lender  pursuant to this
Security  Agreement  and agrees  that the Lender may  directly  contact any such
accounting  firm in order to  obtain  such  information  after  prior  notice to
Borrower.

     Section  8.9  Transfer  of  Collateral.  Borrower  shall not  sell,  lease,
license,  transfer or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Collateral except
(a) sales of Inventory in the  ordinary  course of business  pursuant to Section
6.2, (b)  licensings  and other  dispositions  of  Intellectual  Property in the
ordinary  course of business  pursuant to Section 5.3, and (c)  dispositions  of
Equipment in accordance with Section 7.5.

ARTICLE 9.  REMEDY

     Section 9.1 Remedies  Generally;  Power of Sale.  Upon the  occurrence  and
during the  continuance  of any Default and at any time  thereafter,  the Lender
shall have all  rights and  remedies  available  at law or in equity  including,
without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Indiana
Uniform  Commercial  Code, as in effect from time to time (regardless of whether
the Code has been  enacted in the  jurisdiction  where  rights or  remedies  are
asserted),  including,  without limitation,  the right to take possession of the
Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Borrower can give
authority  therefor,  enter upon any  premises  on which the  Collateral  may be
situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender shall give to the Borrower at
least ten (10) days'  prior  written  notice of the time and place of any public
sale of  Collateral  or of the time after  which any  private  sale or any other
intended  disposition is to be made.  The Lender may in its discretion  transfer
any securities or other property  constituting  Collateral  into its own name or
that of its nominee and receive the income thereon and hold the same as security
for Liabilities or apply it on principal or interest due on Liabilities.  In the
event  that the  Lender  takes  possession  of any  Intellectual  Property,  the
goodwill  associated with any trademarks,  trade names, trade dress, and service
marks of the Borrower shall be transferred to the Lender.

     Section 9.2 Deposits. Any and all Deposit Accounts,  deposits or other sums
at any time  credited  by or due from the  Lender to the  Borrower  shall at all
times constitute security for any and all Liabilities,  and the Lender may apply
or set off  such  deposits  or other  sums  against  Liabilities  at any time in
Default  whether  or not the  Liabilities  are then due or other  Collateral  is
considered by the Lender to be adequate.

     Section 9.3 Waiver and Amendment.  Except as otherwise  expressly set forth
herein,  to the extent  permitted by law, the Borrower  waives  demand,  notice,
protest, notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement,  notice of loans made,
credit  extended,  Collateral  received or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 15

<PAGE>

delivered  or other action  taken in reliance  hereon and all other  demands and
notices of any description. With respect to both Liabilities and Collateral, the
Borrower  assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any
other indulgence,  to any substitution,  exchange, or release of Collateral,  to
the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily  liable,
to the acceptance of partial payments thereon and the settlement,  compromise or
adjustment  of any thereof,  all in such manner and at such time or times as the
Lender may deem advisable. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Lender shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral, or any income
therefrom, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties nor as the
preservation of any rights  pertaining  thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.
The Lender may exercise its rights with respect to Collateral  without resorting
or regard to other Collateral or sources of reimbursement for any Liability. The
Lender  shall not be deemed to have  waived  any of these  rights  upon or under
Liabilities  or  Collateral  unless  such waiver be in writing and signed by the
Lender.  No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising  any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver on any one
occasion  shall not be  construed  as a bar to the  exercise of any right on any
future occasion.  All rights and remedies of the Lender as to the Liabilities or
Collateral  whether  evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers shall
be cumulative and may be exercised singly,  successively or together. The Lender
may,  from time to time,  without  notice to the Borrower (a) retain or obtain a
security  interest  in any  property  of any other  Person,  in  addition to the
Collateral,  to secure any of the Liabilities;  (b) retain or obtain the primary
or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to the Borrower with
respect to any of the  Liabilities;  (c) extend or renew for any period (whether
or not longer than the original  period) or release or compromise  any liability
of any party or parties primarily or secondarily  liable to the Lender under the
Credit  Agreement;  (d) release  its  security  interest in any of the  property
securing any of the Liabilities and permit any  substitution or exchange for any
such  property;  and (e) resort to the  Collateral for the payment of any of the
Liabilities whether or not it shall have resorted to any other property or shall
have proceeded against any party primarily or secondarily  liable for any of the
Liabilities.  The Lender  shall not,  under any  circumstances,  or in any event
whatsoever,  have any  liability  for any error or omission or delay of any kind
occurring  in the  liquidation  of any  Collateral,  including  the  settlement,
collection of any Account or for any damage resulting therefrom except liability
resulting  from any act or  omission  by the Lender  which  constitutes  willful
misconduct. This Security Agreement may be amended only by a writing duly signed
by the Lender and the Borrower.

     Section 9.4 Expenses; Proceeds of Collateral. The Borrower shall pay to the
Lender  on  demand  any and all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting  the
Collateral or the  existence,  perfection  or priority of the Lender's  security
interest  therein.  After  deducting  all of such  expenses,  the residue of any
Proceeds of collection or sale of the Collateral shall be applied to the payment
of  principal  or interest on  Liabilities  in such order of  preference  as the
Lender may determine,  proper allowance for interest on Liabilities not then due
being made, and any excess shall be returned to the Borrower.

     Section 9.5 Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the
Lender  and the  Lender's  designees  from  time to time  its  true  and  lawful
attorneys-in-fact,  with full power of  substitution  in the  premises  upon the
occurrence  and  during the  continuance  of a Default  (a) to demand,  collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise,  adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the
Collateral  in such  manner as the  Lender  may  determine,  whether  or not the
Collateral is

then due; (b) to receive,  open,  and dispose of mail addressed to the Borrower;
(c) to endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, Documents or other evidences
of payment,  shipment or storage or any form of  Collateral  on behalf of and in
the name of the  Borrower;  (d) to sign and send on behalf of the  Borrower  any
invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account,  on drafts against customers,
on schedules and  assignments of Accounts,  on notices of assignment,  financing
statements and other public records, on verifications of Accounts and on notices
to customers; (e) to sign the Borrower's name to the proofs of claim against any
Account  Debtor  on  behalf  of the  Borrower;  (f) to  notify  the post  office
authorities  to change the address for  delivery  of the  Borrower's  mail to an
address  designated  by  the  Lender;  (g) to  endorse  Borrower's  name  on all
applications,  documents,  papers,  certificates  and  instruments  necessary or
expedient  for the Lender to use the  Intellectual  Property,  or  necessary  or
expedient to grant or issue any  exclusive  or  nonexclusive  license  under the
Intellectual  Property to anyone else,  or necessary or expedient for the Lender
to assign,  pledge,  convey or otherwise  transfer  title in, or dispose of, the
Intellectual Property to anyone else, for the purpose of recording, registering,
filing or  accomplishing  any other  formula  with  respect to the  Intellectual
Property;  and  (h) to do all  things  necessary  to  carry  out  this  Security
Agreement. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorneys.
Neither the Lender nor any attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions nor
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law,  absent  gross  negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.  This power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable  until the Liabilities  have been fully  satisfied.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no attorney acting pursuant to this Section 9.5
shall have any authority to confess judgment on behalf of the Borrower.

     Section 9.6 License. Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a license to use,
without  charge,  Borrower's  Intellectual  Property  and  other  Collateral  in
completing  production of, advertising for sale, or selling, any Collateral when
permitted  to do so hereunder or by  applicable  law, and all of the  Borrower's
rights under all licenses and franchise  agreements shall, in such event,  inure
to the Lender's  benefit.  In addition,  the Borrower shall, upon request by the
Lender,  make available  such personnel in Borrower's  employ on the date of any
Default as the Lender may reasonably designate to permit the Lender to continue,
directly or indirectly,  to produce,  advertise and sell the Collateral  sold by
the Borrower  under any  Intellectual  Property or license.  The license  herein
shall include the right of the Lender to use, assign,  license or sublicense any
of the Borrower's  Intellectual  Property,  including in such license reasonable
access as to all media in which any of the  licensed  items may be  recorded  or
stored;  provided  that the Lender  shall comply with all  pre-existing  quality
control standards and trademark use requirements of the Borrower.  No agreements
hereafter  entered into by the Borrower shall  prohibit,  restrict or impair the
rights of the Lender granted hereunder.

     Section  9.7  Reinstatement.  If, at any time after  payment in full by the
Borrower of all Liabilities and termination of the Lender's  security  interest,
any  payments on the  Liabilities  previously  made by the Borrower or any other
Person must be  disgorged  by the Lender for any reason  whatsoever,  including,
without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower
or such Person,  this  Security  Agreement and the Lender's  security  interests
herein shall be reinstated as to all disgorged  payments as though such payments
had not been made,  and the  Borrower  shall sign and  deliver to the Lender all
documents,  and shall do such  other acts and  things,  as may be  necessary  to
re-perfect the Lender's security interest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 17

<PAGE>

     Section 9.8 No Marshaling. The Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of
its  successors  and assigns,  hereby  expressly  waives all rights,  if any, to
require a marshaling  of assets by the Lender or to require the  Lender's  first
resort to some or any portion of the Collateral before foreclosing upon, selling
or otherwise realizing on any other portion thereof.

ARTICLE 10.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 10.1 Priority.  Unless otherwise expressly  provided,  the security
interest  hereby  created  shall  be pro rata on par  with  any  prior  security
interests in the Collateral now or hereafter existing in favor of the Lender.

     Section 10.2  Governing  Law.  This  Security  Agreement and all rights and
obligations   hereunder,   including  matters  of  construction,   validity  and
performance,  shall  be  governed  by the  Uniform  Commercial  Code  and  other
applicable  laws of the State of  Indiana,  without  regard to  conflict  of law
principles.

     Section  10.3  Severability.  Whenever  possible  each  provision  of  this
Security  Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and
valid under  applicable  law, but if any  provision of this  Security  Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under  applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective  only to the extent of such  prohibition  without  invalidating  the
remainder  of such  provision  or the  remaining  provisions  of  this  Security
Agreement.  The Borrower  recognizes that the Lender has relied on this Security
Agreement in extending  credit to the Borrower and agrees that such  reliance by
the Lender shall be sufficient consideration for this Security Agreement.

     Section 10.4 Binding on Successors. The rights and privileges of the Lender
shall inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns.

     Section  10.5  Chattel  Mortgage.   This  Security   Agreement  shall  also
constitute a chattel mortgage and an assignment of rents.

     SECTION 10.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR
HAVING HAD THE  OPPORTUNITY  TO CONSULT WITH  COUNSEL,  KNOWINGLY,  VOLUNTARILY,
INTENTIONALLY,  IRREVOCABLY AND  UNCONDITIONALLY  WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION  BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,  DEALING,  STATEMENTS  (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN),  OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM.  NEITHER LENDER NOR BORROWER SHALL SEEK
TO CONSOLIDATE,  BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE,  ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL
HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT
BEEN WAIVED.  THESE  PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY
RESPECT  OR  RELINQUISHED  BY  EITHER  LENDER  OR  BORROWER  EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN
INSTRUMENT  EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
LENDER TO ACCEPT THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

                               CONTINUING GUARANTY

     THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY  ("Guaranty") is made as of the 19th day of March,
2004,  by ANTHONY  CLARK  INTERNATIONAL  INSURANCE  BROKERS  LTD., a corporation
amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the "Guarantor") in favor
of OAK STREET  FUNDING  LLC (the  "Lender"),  pursuant  to that  certain  Credit
Agreement, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
"Credit Agreement") of even date herewith, by and between ADDISON YORK INSURANCE
BROKERS LTD., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Borrower") and the Lender.  Unless
otherwise defined herein,  capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

     Section 1. Guaranty.

     For value received and in consideration  of any loan,  advance or financial
accommodation  of any kind  whatsoever  now or heretofore  or hereafter  made or
granted to the  Borrower  by the Lender  pursuant to the Credit  Agreement,  the
Guarantor, in accordance with this Guaranty, hereby absolutely,  unconditionally
and irrevocably  guarantees to the Lender, as if the Guarantor was the principal
debtor,  the punctual payment and performance when due of all Obligations (which
for purposes of this Guaranty  shall also be deemed to include all  commissions,
fees, charges, costs and other expenses arising out of or incurred by the Lender
in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty).

     Section  2.  Continuing   Guaranty;   No  Right  of  Set-Off;   Independent
Obligation.

     (a) This  Guaranty  shall  be a  continuing  guaranty  of the  payment  and
performance of all  Obligations  and shall remain in full force and effect until
the payment in full of all of the  Obligations and shall apply to and secure any
ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lender;  and this Guaranty shall
not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation
at any time or from time to time of any sum of money  for the time  being due or
remaining  unpaid to the Lender.  The  Guarantor  covenants and agrees to comply
with all obligations,  covenants,  agreements and provisions applicable to it in
this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor's
liability  shall extend to all amounts which  constitute part of the Obligations
and would be owed by the  Borrower  pursuant  thereto but for the fact that they
are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to
the existence of a bankruptcy,  reorganization or similar  proceeding  involving
the Borrower.

     (b) The Guarantor  hereby  guarantees that the Obligations  will be paid to
the  Lender  without  set-off  or  counterclaim  or other  reduction  whatsoever
(whether for taxes,  withholding or otherwise) in lawful  currency of the United
States of America.

     (c) All payments by the Guarantor  under this  Guaranty  shall be made free
and clear of, and without  deduction or  withholding  for, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies,  duties,  imposts,  charges or fees or any
related  penalties,  interest or other liabilities  ("Taxes").  If any Taxes are
required to be deducted or withheld from any amount  payable to the Lender under
this Guaranty,  the Guarantor  shall pay  additional  amounts so that the amount
received by the Lender  after the  deduction of such Taxes  (including  Taxes on
such  additional  amounts) equals the amount that the Lender would have received
if no Taxes had been deducted. The Guarantor shall pay to the appropriate taxing
authority all Taxes required to be deducted or

<PAGE>

withheld.  Within  thirty (30) days after paying any such Taxes,  the  Guarantor
shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified  copy of the receipt for
such payment.  Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional  amounts to the
Lender on account of any Taxes,  including,  but not limited to,  income  taxes,
imposed solely by reason of a present or past connection  between the Lender and
the  jurisdiction  imposing such Taxes (except a connection  arising solely from
the execution, delivery, performance,  enforcement of or the receipt of payments
under this Guaranty). The Guarantor shall indemnify the Lender against any Taxes
imposed  on (and any  related  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by) the Lender on
account of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of or the receipt
of payments  under this  Guaranty  other than Taxes  imposed  solely by reason a
present or past connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such
Taxes  (except  a  connection  arising  solely  from  the  execution,  delivery,
performance, enforcement of or the receipt of payments under this Guaranty). The
Guarantor  also shall pay and  indemnify  the Lender  against any stamp or other
documentary, excise or property taxes or similar levies, imposts, or charges (or
any related  liability)  arising  from the  execution,  delivery,  registration,
performance or enforcement of this Guaranty.

     (d) The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in
accordance  with their terms  regardless of any law,  regulation or order now or
hereafter  in  effect in any  jurisdiction  affecting  any of such  terms or the
rights of the Lender.

     (e) The Guarantor's liability to pay or perform or cause the performance of
the Obligations shall arise forthwith after demand for payment or performance by
the Lender has been given to the  Guarantor in the manner  prescribed in Section
24 hereof.

     (f) Except as provided  herein,  the  provisions of this Guaranty cover all
agreements  between the parties hereto relative to this Guaranty and none of the
parties  shall be bound by any  representation,  warranty or promise made by any
Person  relative  thereto which is not embodied  herein;  and it is specifically
acknowledged  and agreed that this Guaranty has been  delivered by the Guarantor
free of any  conditions  whatsoever and that no  representations,  warranties or
promises have been made to the Guarantor  affecting its  liabilities  hereunder,
and that the Lender  shall not be bound by any  representations,  warranties  or
promises now or at any time hereafter made by the Borrower to the Guarantor.

     (g) This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and
not of  collectability  and is in no way  conditioned  or  contingent  upon  any
attempt to collect from or enforce  performance or compliance by the Borrower or
upon any event or condition whatsoever.

     (h) The  obligations of the Guarantor set forth herein  constitute the full
recourse obligations of the Guarantor  enforceable against it to the full extent
of all its assets and properties.

     Section 3. Guaranty Absolute.

     The  obligations  of  the  Guarantor   hereunder  are  independent  of  the
obligations of the Borrower under the Obligations and the Credit Agreement and a
separate  action or actions may be brought and prosecuted  against the Guarantor
whether or not an action or  proceeding  is brought  against  the  Borrower  and
whether or not the  Borrower  is joined in any such  action or  proceeding.  The
liability of the Guarantor hereunder is irrevocable,  absolute and unconditional

                                       3

or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the  Obligations,

ordinances  of  any  jurisdiction  by  any  present  or  future  action  of  any

affecting,  or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, the Credit
Agreement any of the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder;

     (e) the abstention from taking security from the Borrower, the Guarantor or
any other  Person or from  perfecting,  continuing  to keep  perfected or taking

application  in whole or in part  and at any time or from  time to time,  or any
manner of application of collateral,  or proceeds thereof,  to all or any of the
Obligations, or the manner of sale of any collateral;

     (j) the release or  discharge  of the  Borrower or the  Guarantor or of any
Person  liable  directly as surety or otherwise by operation of law or otherwise
for the  Obligations,  other  than an express  release  in writing  given by the
Lender of the liability and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder;

     (k) any  change in the  name,  business,  capital  structure  or  governing

     (l) the sale of the  Borrower's  or the  Guarantor's  business  or any part
thereof;

     Section 4. Right to Demand Full Performance.

     In the event of any demand for  payment or  performance  by the Lender from
the  Guarantor  hereunder,  the  Lender  shall have the right to demand its full
claim and to receive all  dividends or other  payments in respect  thereof until
the  Obligations  have been paid in full, and the Guarantor shall continue to be
liable  hereunder  for any  balance  which  may be  owing to the  Lender  by the
Borrower  under the  Obligations.  The  retention by the Lender of any security,
prior to the  realization  by the  Lender of its  rights to such  security  upon
foreclosure  thereon,  shall not, as between the  Lender,  on one hand,  and the
Guarantor,  on the other hand, be considered as a purchase of such security,  or

the Borrower or any part thereof.  The Guarantor,  promptly  after demand,  will
reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses of collecting such amount under,
or enforcing this Guaranty,  including,  without limitation, the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel.

     Section 5. Waivers.

     (a) The Guarantor  hereby expressly waives (to the extent permitted by law)
notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence,  renewal,
extension or the

                                       4

<PAGE>

non-performance,  non-payment,  or non-observance on the part of the Borrower of
any of the terms,  covenants,  conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement
or the Obligations or any other notice whatsoever to or upon the Borrower or the
Guarantor with respect to the  Obligations.  The Guarantor  hereby  acknowledges
communication to it of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Obligations and
all of the provisions  therein  contained and consents to and approves the same.
The  Guarantor  hereby  expressly  waives  (to  the  extent  permitted  by  law)
diligence,  presentment,  protest and demand for payment with respect to (i) any
notice of sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to or interest
in the  Obligations by the Lender or in this  Guaranty,  (ii) any release of the
Guarantor from its  obligations  hereunder  resulting from any loss by it of its
rights of  subrogation  hereunder and (iii) any other  circumstances  whatsoever
that might  otherwise  constitute  a legal or  equitable  discharge,  release or
defense of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse  against
the Guarantor.

     (b) Without  prejudice to any of the rights or  recourses  which the Lender
may have against the Borrower,  the Guarantor  hereby  expressly  waives (to the
extent permitted by law) any right to require the Lender to:

          (i)  enforce,  assert,  exercise,  initiate  or  exhaust  any  rights,
     remedies  or recourse  against the  Borrower,  the  Guarantor  or any other
     Person  under this  Guaranty or the Credit  Agreement  or  otherwise;

          (ii) value,  realize  upon, or dispose of any security of the Borrower
     or any other Person held by the Lender;

          (iii)  initiate or exhaust any other  remedy which the Lender may have
     in law or equity; or

          (iv)  mitigate  the  damages  resulting  from any  default  under  the
     Obligations or the Credit Agreement;

before requiring or becoming entitled to demand payment from the Guarantor under
this Guaranty.

     Section 6. The  Guarantor  Remains  Obligated  in Event the  Borrower Is No
Longer Obligated to Discharge Obligations.

     It is the express intention of the Lender and the Guarantor that if for any
reason  the  Borrower  has no  legal  existence,  is or  becomes  under no legal
obligation to discharge the  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the Borrower or
if  any  of  the  Obligations  owing  by the  Borrower  to  the  Lender  becomes
irrecoverable  from  the  Borrower  by  operation  of  law  or  for  any  reason
whatsoever,  this Guaranty and the covenants,  agreements and obligations of the
Guarantor  contained in this  Guaranty  shall  nevertheless  be binding upon the
Guarantor,  as principal  debtor,  until such time as all such  Obligations have
been paid in full to the Lender and all  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the
Borrower have been  discharged,  and the Guarantor  shall be responsible for the
payment thereof to the Lender upon demand.

     Section 7. Fraudulent Conveyance; Subrogation.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding,
the aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be reduced to
the extent  necessary  to prevent  this  Guaranty  from  violating  or  becoming
voidable under applicable law

                                       5

relating  to  fraudulent  conveyance  or  fraudulent  transfer  or similar  laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.

     (B) THE GUARANTOR  HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION OR
CONTRIBUTION,  WHETHER  ARISING BY  CONTRACT  OR  OPERATION  OF LAW  (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  ANY SUCH RIGHT ARISING UNDER  FEDERAL  BANKRUPTCY  LAW) OR
OTHERWISE  BY REASON OF ANY  PAYMENT BY IT PURSUANT  TO THE  PROVISIONS  OF THIS
GUARANTY UNTIL AND UNLESS ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

     Section 8. Guaranty Is in Addition to Other Security.

     This Guaranty shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other
guarantees  or other  security  which the  Lender may now or  hereafter  hold in
respect of the  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the  Borrower and (except as
may be required by law) the Lender  shall be under no  obligation  to marshal in
favor of the Guarantor any other  guarantees or other  security or any moneys or
other  assets  which the  Lender  may be  entitled  to receive or upon which the
Lender may have a claim.

     Section 9. Release of Security Interests.

     Without  limiting the  generality  of the foregoing and except as otherwise
provided in this  Guaranty,  the Guarantor  hereby  consents and agrees,  to the
fullest  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  that the  rights of the Lender
hereunder,  and the liability of the Guarantor hereunder,  shall not be affected
by any and all  releases  for any purpose of any  collateral,  if any,  from the
Liens and security  interests  created by any collateral  document and that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by the Lender upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or  reorganization of
the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

     Section 10. No Bar to Further Actions.

     Except as provided by law, no action or  proceeding  brought or  instituted
under the Credit  Agreement  or this  Guaranty  and no  recovery  or judgment in
pursuance  thereof shall be a bar or defense to any further action or proceeding
which may be brought  under the Credit  Agreement or this  Guaranty by reason of
any further default or defaults under the Credit Agreement or Guaranty or in the
payment of any of the Obligations owing by the Borrower.

     Section 11.  Failure to Exercise  Rights Shall Not Operate as a Waiver;  No
Suspension of Remedies.

     (a) No failure to exercise and no delay in  exercising,  on the part of the
Lender, any right, power, privilege or remedy under the Credit Agreement or this
Guaranty  shall  operate  as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise  thereof,  or the exercise of any other rights,  powers,  privileges or
remedies.  The rights and remedies  herein  provided for are  cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity.

     (b) Nothing  contained in this Guaranty shall limit the right of the Lender
to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations pursuant to the
Credit  Agreement  or to  pursue  any  rights  or  remedies  hereunder  or under
applicable law.

                                       6

     Section 12. Lender's Duties; Notice to Lender.

     (a) Any  provision  in this  Guaranty  allowing  the Lender to request  any
information or to take any action  authorized by, or on behalf of the Guarantor,
shall be  permissive  and shall not be obligatory on the Lender except where the
failure of the Lender to request any such information or to take any such action
arises from the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (b) The Lender shall not be required to inquire into the existence,  powers
or  capacities of the  Borrower,  the  Guarantor or the  officers,  directors or
agents acting or purporting to act on their respective behalf.

     Section 13. Successors and Assigns.

     All terms,  agreements  and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and
be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Lender and its successors and
assigns; provided,  however, that the Guarantor may not assign any of its rights
or obligations hereunder.

     Section 14. Release of Guaranty.

     Concurrently  with  the  payment  in  full of all of the  Obligations,  the
Guarantor  shall be released  from and  relieved of its  obligations  under this
Guaranty.  Upon the  delivery  by the  Borrower  to the Lender of a  certificate
signed by an  authorized  senior  officer of the Borrower to the effect that the
transaction giving rise to the release of this Guaranty was made by the Borrower
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit  Agreement and the  Obligations,
the Lender shall execute any documents  reasonably required in order to evidence
the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty. If any of
the  Obligations  are  revived  and  reinstated  after the  termination  of this
Guaranty, then all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall
be revived and reinstated as if this Guaranty had not been terminated until such
time as the  Obligations are paid in full, and the Guarantor shall enter into an
amendment to this Guaranty,  reasonably  satisfactory to the Lender,  evidencing
such revival and reinstatement.

     Section 15. Representations and Warranties.

     The Guarantor  represents  and warrants to the Lender as of the date hereof
that:

          (i)  The Guarantor (a) is either a corporation or a limited  liability
               company duly organized,  validly  existing and in existence under
               the laws of the  jurisdiction  of its  organization,  (b) is duly

     Section 16. Setoff.

     At any time after all or any part of the  Obligations  have  become due and
payable (by  acceleration or otherwise),  the Lender may,  without notice to the
Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the
payment  hereof,  appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of
the Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from the Lender to the
Guarantor,  and (b) any  moneys,  credits  or other  property  belonging  to the
Guarantor held by or coming into the possession of the Lender.

     Section 17. Subordination.

     The Guarantor  agrees that any and all claims of the Guarantor  against the
Borrower, or against any of its properties,  shall be subordinate and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment of the  Obligations.  Notwithstanding  any
right of the Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from
the Borrower, all rights, liens and security interests of the Guarantor, whether
now or hereafter arising and howsoever  existing,  in any assets of the Borrower
shall be and  hereby  are  subordinated  to the  rights  of the  Lender in those
assets.  The Guarantor shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to
foreclose  any such lien or security  interest,  whether by  judicial  action or
otherwise,  unless and until all of the  Obligations  shall have been fully paid
and satisfied. If all or any part of the assets of the Borrower, or the proceeds
thereof,  are  subject  to any  distribution,  division  or  application  to the
creditors  of  the  Borrower,   whether   partial  or  complete,   voluntary  or
involuntary,  and  whether by reason of  liquidation,  bankruptcy,  arrangement,
receivership,  assignment  for the benefit of  creditors  or any other action or
proceeding, or if the business of the Borrower is dissolved, or if substantially
all of the assets of the Borrower  are sold,  then,  and in any such event,  any
payment or distribution of any kind or character,  either in cash, securities or
other  property,  which shall be payable or deliverable  upon or with respect to
any  indebtedness  of the Borrower to the  Guarantor  shall be paid or delivered
directly to the Lender for  application on the  Obligations due or to become due
until  such shall have  first  been  fully  paid and  satisfied.  The  Guarantor
irrevocably  authorizes and empowers the Lender to demand,  sue for, collect and
receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance  therefor and to
make and  present  for and on behalf of the  Guarantor  such proofs of claim and
take such other action, in the Lender's own name or in the name of the Guarantor
or otherwise,  as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement
of this  Guaranty.  The  Lender  may  vote  such  proofs  of  claim  in any such
proceeding,  receive  and  collect any and all  dividends  or other  payments or
disbursements  made thereon in whatever  form the same may be paid or issued and
apply  the  same on  account  of any of the  Obligations.  Should  any  payment,
distribution,  security or  instrument  or  proceeds  thereof

                                       8
<PAGE>

be received by the Guarantor upon or with respect to any of  Indebtedness of the
Borrower to the Guarantor prior to the  satisfaction of all of the  Obligations,
the  Guarantor  shall  receive and hold the same in trust,  as trustee,  for the
benefit  of the  Lender and shall  forthwith  deliver  the same to the Lender in
precisely the form  received  (except for the  endorsement  or assignment of the
Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations, and until
so  delivered,  the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property
of the Lender. If the Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment
to the Lender, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. The
Guarantor  agrees  that  until  the  Obligations  have  been  paid in  full  and
satisfied,  the  Guarantor  will not assign or  transfer to any Person any claim
that the Guarantor has or may have against the Borrower.

     Section 18. Amendments.

     No  modification  or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall
be binding  upon the Lender,  except as  expressly  set forth in a writing  duly
signed and delivered by the Lender.

     Section 19. Governing Law.

     This  Guaranty  shall  be  governed  by and  interpreted  and  enforced  in
accordance   with  the  internal  laws  (without  regard  to  conflicts  of  law
provisions) of the State of Indiana. Without limiting the foregoing, any dispute
between  the  Lender  and  the  Guarantor  arising  out  of or  related  to  the

between them in  connection  with this  Guaranty,  whether  arising in contract,
tort,  equity,  or otherwise,  shall be resolved only by state or federal courts
located in Indianapolis,  Indiana, provided however that the parties acknowledge
that any appeals  from those courts may be heard by a court  located  outside of
Indianapolis,  Indiana.  The Lender shall have the right to proceed  against the
Guarantor  or its real or personal  property in a court in any location in order
to obtain personal  jurisdiction  over the Guarantor or to enforce a judgment or
other court order entered  against the  Guarantor,  and the Guarantor  shall not
assert any permissive  counterclaims arising out of or relating to this Guaranty
in any proceeding brought under this provision.  The Guarantor hereby waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have (including,  without limitation, any
objection  to the  laying  of venue or based  on forum  non  conveniens)  to the
location of the court in which any  proceeding  with respect to this Guaranty or
any other document executed or delivered in connection  herewith is commenced in
accordance with this Section 20.

     Section 21. Waiver of Jury Trial.

     The  Guarantor  waives any right to trial by jury in any  dispute,  whether
sounding  in  contract,  tort,  or  otherwise  arising  out of or related to the
transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or any other instrument,  document or
agreement executed or delivered in connection  herewith.  The Lender may file an
original  counterpart  or a copy of this

                                       9

Guaranty  with any court as written  evidence of the consent of the Guarantor to
the waiver of its rights to trial by jury.

     Section 22. Waiver of Bond.

     The  Guarantor  waives the  posting of any bond  otherwise  required of the
Lender in  connection  with any judicial  process or  proceeding  to enforce any
judgment or other court order  entered in favor of the Lender,  or to enforce by
specific  performance,  temporary restraining order, or preliminary or permanent
injunction,  this Guaranty or any other agreement or document between the Lender
and the Guarantor.

     Section 23. Advice of Counsel.

     The Guarantor  represents  and warrants  that it has  consulted  with legal
counsel regarding all waivers under this Guaranty, that it fully understands all
rights  that it is waiving and the effect of such  waivers,  that it assumes the
risk of any  misunderstanding  that it may have  regarding any of the foregoing,
and that it intends  that such  waivers  shall be a material  inducement  to the
Lender to extend the Indebtedness guaranteed hereby.

Equipment,  validly created in accordance with the PPSA, on Collateral hereafter
acquired by the Debtor,  the Grantor shall keep the Collateral free at all times
from any and all Encumbrances of whatsoever nature,  kind or priority other than
those consented to by the Lender or  Encumbrances  which, in the sole opinion of
counsel to the Lender, are satisfactorily  subordinated to Encumbrances in favor
of the  Lender,  defend the title to the  Collateral  against all  persons,  not
permit the  Collateral to become an accession to any property not subject to the
security  interest  granted by this  Security  Agreement or a security  interest

and not to become a fixture  unless the  security  interest of the Lender  ranks

Encumbrance including, without limitation, any purchase money security interest.

Grantor shall forthwith  repay all costs and expenses  incurred by the Lender in
connection therewith and all such costs and expenses shall be deemed advanced to
the Grantor by the Lender,  shall  become  part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear
interest at the highest rate per annum charged by the Lender on the  Liabilities

deeds of  confirmation  as its counsel  may  consider  advisable  to protect the
Lender's  interest,  directly or indirectly:  change the nature of its business;

or a series of  transactions;  otherwise  cease to carry on  business as a going
concern; do or omit to do any other act or thing that could materially adversely
affect its business,  financial condition,  assets or position or its ability to
carry on the business as now conducted by it; or allow,  permit or authorize any
such change in business, acquisition, extension of financial assistance, merger,
reconstruction, consolidation, carrying on of business, arrangement or cessation
of business of any of its subsidiaries except a merger contemplated herein.

Lender, without waiving any of its rights under this Security Agreement. No such
payment or  performance by the Lender shall relieve the Grantor from any default
under  this  Security  Agreement  or  the  consequences  of  such  default.  The
reasonable  expenses,  including the cost of any insurance,  payment of taxes or
other  charges and legal fees and  expenses  on a  solicitor  and his own client

respect to this Security  Agreement,  the realization,  disposing of, retaining,
protecting  or  collecting  of  the  Collateral  or any  part  thereof  and  the
protection and enforcement of the rights of the Lender  hereunder,  and all such
costs and expenses shall be deemed advanced to the Grantor by the Lender,  shall
become part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear  interest at such  highest rate per
annum charged by the Lender on the  Liabilities or any part thereof and shall be
secured by this Security Agreement.

satisfactory  to  the  Lender,  such  Guaranty  and  other  documentation  to be
delivered to Lender as promptly as possible but in any event within  thirty (30)

               including  each Deposit  Account  maintained  by the Grantor into
               which all cash,  checks, or other similar payments relating to or

               Appendix  I  hereto,   which  Lock  Boxes  shall  be  subject  to
               irrevocable  lockbox  agreements  in  the  form  provided  by  or
               otherwise acceptable to the Lender and shall be accompanied by an

               consent,  (d) if the Grantor  should  refuse or neglect to notify
               any  Account  Debtor to forward  payments  directly to a Lock Box
               subject to a Lock Box Agreement after notice from the Lender, the
               Lender  shall be entitled to make such  notification  directly to
               Account   Debtor,   (e)   if   notwithstanding    the   foregoing
               instructions,  the Grantor receives any proceeds of any Accounts,
               the Grantor shall receive such payments as the Lender's  trustee,
               and shall  immediately  deposit all cash, checks or other similar
               payments  related to or constituting  payments made in respect of
               Accounts received by it to a Collateral Deposit Account,  (f) all
               funds deposited into any Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement
               or a  Collateral  Deposit  Account will be swept on a daily basis
               into a  collection  account  maintained  by the Grantor with Bank

               the  Lender  shall  hold  and  apply  funds   received  into  the
               Collection Account as provided by the terms of Section 4.2(c).

<PAGE>

     (b)  Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts; Lock Boxes. Before opening or
          replacing any Collateral  Deposit Account,  other Deposit Account,  or
          establishing a new Lock Box, the Grantor shall (a) obtain the Lender's
          consent in writing to the opening of such Deposit Account or Lock Box,
          and (b) cause each bank or financial  institution in which it seeks to
          open (i) a Deposit  Account,  to enter into a Deposit  Account Control
          Agreement  with the Lender in order to give the Lender Control of such
          Deposit  Account,  or  (ii) a  Lock  Box,  to  enter  into a Lock  Box
          Agreement  with the Lender in order to give the Lender  Control of the
          Lock Box.

     (c)  Application of Proceeds;  Deficiency. Upon the occurrence of a Default
          or an  Unmatured  Default,  all amounts  deposited  in the  Collection
          Account  shall be deemed  received  by the Lender for  application  in
          satisfaction  of the  Liabilities.  In no event shall any amount be so
          applied  unless and until such  amount  shall  have been  credited  in
          immediately  available  funds to the  Collection  Account.  The Lender
          shall  require  all  other  cash  proceeds  of  the  Collateral  to be
          deposited in a special  non-interest  bearing cash collateral  account
          with a bank of the  Lender's  choosing  and held there as security for
          the  Liabilities.  The Grantor shall have no control  whatsoever  over
          said cash  collateral  account.  Any such  proceeds of the  Collateral
          shall be applied in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement unless
          a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct. The balance,
          if any, after all of the  Liabilities  have been  satisfied,  shall be
          deposited by the Lender into the Grantor's general operating  account.
          The Grantor shall remain liable for any  deficiency if the proceeds of
          any sale or disposition of the Collateral are  insufficient to pay all
          Liabilities, including any attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred
          by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 5 - DEFAULT

5.1. Defaults

Liabilities  and the Lender's rights to demand,  at any time,  payment of any or
all of the  Liabilities  payable  on  demand,  the  Liabilities  secured by this

          effect  between the Grantor  and the Lender,  whether  relating to the
          Liabilities  or  not,  or if any  representation  or  warranty  of the
          Grantor  made to the Lender or  otherwise  contained  herein or in any
          other  agreement or instrument from time to time in effect between the
          Grantor and the Lender,  whether  relating to the  Liabilities or not,

          (determined in the Lender's sole discretion) respect;

     (c)  If  any  guarantor   (individually  a  "Guarantor"  and   collectively

          observe or perform any  covenant,  term or condition  contained in any

          resulted in, or may result in, with notice or lapse of time,  or both,
          the  acceleration  of any such  indebtedness or obligation in favor of
          such  person,  in excess of  $25,000,  or the right of such  person to
          realize upon the Collateral;

     (e)  If the  Grantor  or any  Guarantor  ceases  paying  its  debts as they

          essential basis of the Liabilities or security hereby  constituted has
          been impaired or otherwise altered.

SECTION 6 - REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

If the security hereby constituted becomes  enforceable,  the Lender shall have,
in addition to any other  rights,  remedies and powers which it may have at law,
in equity or under the PPSA, the following rights, remedies and powers:

6.1. Power of Entry

The  Grantor  shall  forthwith  upon demand  assemble  and deliver to the Lender
possession  of all of the  Collateral  at such place as may be  specified by the
Lender. The Lender may take such steps as it considers necessary or desirable to
obtain  possession  of all or any part of the  Collateral  and, to that end, the
Grantor  agrees that the Lender,  its servants or agents or Receiver may, at any
time,  during  the day or  night,  enter  upon  lands  and  premises  where  the
Collateral may be found for the purpose of taking  possession of and/or removing
the Collateral or any part thereof. In the event of the Lender taking possession
of the  Collateral,  or any part  thereof,  the  Lender  shall have the right to
maintain the same upon the premises on which the Collateral may then be situate.
The Lender may, in a reasonable manner, take such action or do such things as to
render any Equipment unusable.

6.2. Power of Sale

The  Lender  may  sell,  lease or  otherwise  dispose  of all or any part of the
Collateral, as a whole or in separate parcels, by public auction, private tender
or by private contract,  with or without notice, except as otherwise required by
applicable law, with or without advertising and without any other formality, all
of which are hereby waived by the Grantor. Such sale, lease or disposition shall
be on such terms and  conditions  as to credit and  otherwise and as to upset or
reserve  bid or  price  as to the  Lender,  in its  sole  discretion,  may  seem
advantageous.  If such sale,  transfer or  disposition is made on credit or part
cash and part credit,  the Lender need only credit against the  Liabilities  the
actual cash received at the time of the sale.  Any payments made pursuant to any
credit granted at the time of the sale shall be credited against the Liabilities
as they are received.  The Lender may buy in or rescind or vary any contract for
sale of all or any of the Collateral and may resell without being answerable for
any loss occasioned thereby.  Any such sale, lease or disposition may take place
whether or not the Lender has taken  possession  of the  Collateral.  The Lender
may,  before any such  sale,  lease or  disposition,  perform  any  commercially
reasonable  repair,  processing or preparation for disposition and the amount so
paid or expended  shall be deemed  advanced to the Grantor by the Lender,  shall
become part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear  interest  at the highest  rate per
annum charged by the Lender on the  Liabilities or any part thereof and shall be
secured by this Security Agreement.

6.3. Validity of Sale

No person  dealing  with the Lender or its servants or agents shall be concerned
to inquire  whether the  security  hereby  constituted  has become  enforceable,
whether  the powers  that the  Lender is

<PAGE>

purporting to exercise have become exercisable, whether any money remains due on
the  security  of the  Collateral,  as to the  necessity  or  expedience  of the
stipulations  and  conditions  subject to which any sale,  lease or  disposition
shall be made,  otherwise as to the  propriety or  regularity of any sale or any
other dealing by the Lender with the Collateral or to see to the  application of
any  money  paid to the  Lender.  In the  absence  of  fraud on the part of such
persons,  such  dealings  shall be  deemed,  so far as  regards  the  safety and
protection of such person,  to be within the powers  hereby  conferred and to be
valid and effective accordingly.

6.4. Receiver-Manager

The  Lender  may,  in  addition  to any other  rights it may  have,  appoint  by
instrument  in writing a receiver  or receiver  and  manager  (both of which are
herein  called  a  "Receiver")  of all  or any  part  of the  Collateral  or may
institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of such a Receiver.  Any such  Receiver is hereby  given and shall have the same
powers and rights and exclusions and  limitations of liability as the Lender has
under this  Security  Agreement,  at law or in equity.  In  exercising  any such
powers,  any such Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law, act as and for
all purposes shall be deemed to be the agent of the Grantor and the Lender shall
not be responsible  for any act or default of any such Receiver.  The Lender may
appoint  one or more  Receivers  hereunder  and may remove any such  Receiver or
Receivers and appoint another or others in his or their stead from time to time.
Any Receiver so appointed  may be an officer or employee of the Lender.  A court
need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Lender of or otherwise supervise
in any manner the actions of any  Receiver.  Upon the Grantor  receiving  notice
from the Lender of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the appointment
of a  Receiver,  all powers,  functions,  rights and  privileges  of each of the
directors  and  officers of the Grantor  with  respect to the  Collateral  shall
cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Lender.

6.5. Carrying on Business

The Lender may carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, all or any part of the
business or  undertaking  of the Grantor,  may, to the  exclusion of all others,
including  the Grantor,  enter upon,  occupy and use all or any of the premises,
buildings,  plant and  undertaking of or occupied or used by the Grantor and may
use all or any of the tools, machinery, equipment and intangibles of the Grantor
for such time as the Lender sees fit,  free of charge,  to carry on the business
of the Grantor and, if applicable, to manufacture or complete the manufacture of
any Inventory and to pack and ship the finished product.

6.6. Dealing with Collateral

The Lender may seize, collect,  realize,  dispose of, enforce,  release to third
parties  or  otherwise  deal with the  Collateral  or any part  thereof  in such
manner,  upon such terms and conditions and at such time or times as may seem to
it  advisable,  all of which without  notice to the Grantor  except as otherwise
required by any applicable  law. The Lender may demand,  sue for and receive any
Accounts with or without notice to the Grantor,  give such receipts,  discharges
and  extensions  of time and make such  compromises  in respect of any  Accounts
which may, in the Lender's absolute discretion, seem bad or doubtful. The Lender
may  charge on its own behalf  and pay to  others,  sums for costs and  expenses
incurred including,  without limitation,  legal fees

<PAGE>

and  expenses  on a  solicitor  and his own  client  scale  and  Receivers'  and
accounting  fees,  in or in  connection  with  seizing,  collecting,  realizing,
disposing,  enforcing or otherwise dealing with the Collateral and in connection
with the  protection  and  enforcement  of the  rights of the  Lender  hereunder
including,  without limitation, in connection with advice with respect to any of
the foregoing.  The amount of such sums shall be deemed  advanced to the Grantor
by the Lender, shall become part of the Liabilities,  shall bear interest at the
highest  rate per annum  charged  by the Lender on the  Liabilities  or any part
thereof and shall be secured by this Security Agreement.

6.7. Retention of Collateral

Upon notice to the Grantor  and subject to any  obligation  to dispose of any of
the  Collateral,  as provided in the PPSA, the Lender may elect to retain all or
any part of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Liabilities or any of them.

6.8. Pay Encumbrances

The Lender may pay any Encumbrance  that may exist or be threatened  against the
Collateral.   In  addition,  the  Lender  may  borrow  money  required  for  the
maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral or for the carrying on
of the business or  undertaking  of the Grantor and may grant  further  security
interests in the Collateral in priority to the security  interest created hereby
as security for the money so borrowed. In every such case the amounts so paid or
borrowed  together  with costs,  charges  and  expenses  incurred in  connection
therewith  shall be deemed to have been  advanced  to the Grantor by the Lender,
shall become part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear  interest at the highest rate
per annum charged by the Lender on the Liabilities or any part thereof and shall
be secured by this Security Agreement.

6.9. Application of Payments Against Liabilities

Any and all payments  made in respect of the  Liabilities  from time to time and
moneys  realized on the  Collateral  may be applied to such part or parts of the
Liabilities  as the Lender may see fit. The Lender shall,  at all times and from
time to time, have the right to change any  appropriation as it may see fit. Any
insurance moneys received by the Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement may,
at the  option  of the  Lender,  be  applied  to  rebuilding  or  repairing  the
Collateral  or be  applied  against  the  Liabilities  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of this Section.

6.10. Set-Off

The  Liabilities  will be paid by the  Grantor  without  regard to any  equities
between the Grantor and the Lender or any right of set-off or  cross-claim.  Any
indebtedness  owing by the Lender to the  Grantor  may be set off and applied by
the  Lender  against  the  Liabilities  at any time or from time to time  either
before or after maturity, without demand upon or notice to anyone.

6.11. Deficiency

If the proceeds of the  realization of the Collateral are  insufficient to repay
the Lender all moneys due to it, the Grantor shall  forthwith pay or cause to be
paid to the Lender such deficiency.

<PAGE>

6.12. Lender Not Liable

The Lender shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to seize, collect,
realize, dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with the Collateral, shall not be
bound to  institute  proceedings  for any such  purposes  or for the  purpose of
preserving  any rights of the Lender,  the Grantor or any other person,  firm or
corporation  in respect of the Collateral and shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss, cost or damage  whatsoever  which may arise in respect of any such
failure  including,  without  limitation,  resulting  from the negligence of the
Lender  or  any  of  its  officers,  servants,  agents,  solicitors,  attorneys,
Receivers or otherwise. Neither the Lender nor its officers, servants, agents or
Receivers  shall be  liable  by  reason  of any  entry  into  possession  of the
Collateral or any part  thereof,  to account as a mortgagee in  possession,  for
anything except actual  receipts,  for any loss on  realization,  for any act or
omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable, for any negligence
in the carrying on or occupation of the business or  undertaking  of the Grantor
as provided in Section 6.5 or for any loss, cost,  damage or expense  whatsoever
which may arise in respect of any such actions, omissions or negligence.

6.13. Extensions of Time

The Lender may grant renewals,  extensions of time and other  indulgences,  take
and give up securities,  accept  compositions,  grant  releases and  discharges,
perfect or fail to perfect any securities, release any part of the Collateral to
third  parties and otherwise  deal or fail to deal with the Grantor,  debtors of
the Grantor,  Guarantors,  sureties and others and with the Collateral and other
securities as the Lender may see fit, all without  prejudice to the liability of
the Grantor to the Lender or the Lenders  rights and powers under this  Security
Agreement.

6.14. Rights in Addition

The rights and powers  conferred by this Section 6 are in  supplement  of and in
addition to and not in  substitution  for any other  rights or powers the Lender
may have from time to time under this  Security  Agreement  or under  applicable
law.  The  Lender  may  proceed  by way of any  action,  suit,  remedy  or other
proceeding  at law or in equity and no such  remedy for the  enforcement  of the
rights of the  Lender  shall be  exclusive  of or  dependent  on any other  such
remedy.  Any one or more of such  remedies  may from  time to time be  exercised
separately or in combination.

SECTION 7 - DEALING WITH COLLATERAL BY THE GRANTOR

7.1. Sale of Inventory

Prior to the occurrence of a Default, the Grantor may, in the ordinary course of
its business and on customary trade terms, lease or sell items of inventory,  so
that the  purchaser  thereof takes title clear of the security  interest  hereby
created.  If such sale or lease  results in an Account,  such  Account  shall be
subject to the security interest hereby created.

<PAGE>

SECTION 8 - GENERAL

8.1. Security in Addition

The security hereby  constituted is not in  substitution  for any other security
for the  Liabilities or for any other agreement  between the parties  creating a
security  interest  in all or  part of the  Collateral,  whether  heretofore  or
hereafter  made,  and such  security and such  agreements  shall be deemed to be
continued and not affected hereby unless  expressly  provided to the contrary in
writing  and signed by the Lender and the  Grantor.  The taking of any action or
proceedings  or  refraining  from so doing,  or any other dealing with any other
security for the  Liabilities  or any part thereof,  shall not release or affect
the security  interest created by this Security  Agreement and the taking of the
security   interest  hereby  created  or  any  proceedings   hereunder  for  the
realization of the security  interest hereby created shall not release or affect
any other security held by the Lender for the repayment of or performance of the
Liabilities.

8.2. Waiver

Any waiver of a breach by the Grantor of any of the terms or  provisions of this
Security  Agreement or of a Default  under  Section 5.1 must be in writing to be
effective against and bind the Lender. No such waiver by the Lender shall extend
to or be taken in any manner to affect any  subsequent  breach or Default or the
rights of the Lender arising therefrom.

8.3. Further Assurances

The Grantor shall at all times do, execute,  acknowledge and deliver or cause to
be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all and singular every such further
acts,  deeds,  conveyances,   instruments,   transfers,   assignments,  security
agreements and assurances as the Lender may reasonably  require in order to give
effect to the  provisions  and purposes of this  Security  Agreement  including,
without limitation,  in respect of the Lender's  enforcement of the security and
its realization on the Collateral,  and for the better  granting,  transferring,
assigning,  charging,  setting over, assuring,  confirming and/or perfecting the
security  interest of the Lender in the  Collateral  pursuant  to this  Security
Agreement.  The Grantor  hereby  constitutes  and appoints the Manager or acting
Manager of the Lender at its above  address,  or any  Receiver  appointed by the
Court or the Lender as  provided  herein,  the true and lawful  attorney  of the
Grantor  irrevocably with full power of substitution to do, make and execute all
such assignments,  documents,  acts, matters or things with the right to use the
name  of the  Grantor  whenever  and  wherever  it may be  deemed  necessary  or
expedient. The Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file such proofs of claim
and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to prove its claim
in any  bankruptcy,  proposed  winding-up  or other  proceeding  relating to the
Grantor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor:

     (a)  shall mark  conspicuously each chattel paper evidencing or relating to
          an  Account  and each  related  contract  and,  at the  request of the
          Lender,  each  of its  records  pertaining  to the  Collateral  with a
          legend, in form and substance  satisfactory to the Lender,  indicating
          that such chattel paper,  related contract or Collateral is subject to
          the security interests granted hereby;

<PAGE>

     (b)  shall,  if any Accounts  shall be  evidenced  by a promissory  note or
          other  instrument or chattel  paper,  deliver and pledge to the Lender
          hereunder  such note,  instrument  or chattel  paper duly endorsed and
          accompanied  by duly executed  instruments  of transfer or assignment,
          all in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender;

     (c)  shall  execute  and file such  financing  or  renewal  statements,  or
          amendments,  thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
          necessary  or  desirable,  or as the Lender may  request,  in order to
          perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be
          granted hereby;

     (d)  hereby  authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or renewal
          statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the
          Collateral  without the signature of the Grantor,  where  permitted by
          law; and

     (e)  shall furnish to the Lender from time to time statements and schedules
          further  identifying  and  describing  the  Collateral  and such other
          reports in connection  with the  Collateral as the Lender may request,
          all in reasonable detail.

8.4. No Merger

Neither the taking of any  judgment  nor the exercise of any power of seizure or
sale shall operate to extinguish the liability of the Grantor to make payment of
or satisfy the Liabilities.  The acceptance of any payment or alternate security
shall not  constitute  or create any  novation  and the taking of a judgment  or
judgments  under any of the covenants  herein  contained  shall not operate as a
merger of such covenants.

8.5. Notices

Subject to Section 8.7 hereof, any notice required to be given to the Grantor or
the Lender may be delivered to such party or a  responsible  officer  thereof or
may be sent by prepaid registered mail addressed to the appropriate party at the
address  above shown,  or such further or other address as such party may notify
to the other in writing  from time to time,  and if so given the notice shall be
deemed to have been given on the day of delivery or the day when it is deemed or
otherwise  considered to have been received for the purposes of the PPSA, as the
case may be.

8.6. Continuing Security Interest and Discharge

This  Security  Agreement  shall  create a continuing  security  interest in the
Collateral  and  shall  remain  in full  force  and  effect  until  payment  and
performance in full of the Liabilities,  notwithstanding any dealing between the
Lender and the Grantor or any  Guarantor  in respect of the  Liabilities  or any
release, exchange, non-perfection,  amendment, waiver, consent or departure from
or in respect of any or all of the terms or provision  of any security  held for
the Liabilities.

If the Grantor pays to the Lender and fully  discharges the Liabilities  secured
by this Security  Agreement  and  otherwise  observes and performs the terms and
conditions  hereof,  then the Lender  shall at the request and at the expense of
the Grantor release and discharge the security

<PAGE>

interest  created  hereby and execute and deliver to the Grantor  such deeds and
other instruments as shall be requisite therefor.

8.7. Governing Law and Waiver

The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance  with,  the laws of the  Province of Alberta and the federal  laws of
Canada  applicable  therein,  without  reference to  applicable  conflict of law
principles.  Grantor consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the  Province  of Alberta in  connection  with the  resolution  of any  disputes
relating to this Security  Agreement or any other Agreement or document executed
or delivered hereunder. Grantor irrevocably waives any objection,  including any
objection  to the laying of venue based on the grounds of forum non  conveniens,
which it may now or hereafter  have to the bringing of any action or  proceeding
with respect to this Agreement.

Grantor  hereby  waives  personal  service  of any and all  process  upon it and
consents tat all such service of process may be made by registered  mail (return
receipt  requested)  directed to the Grantor and service so made shall be deemed
to be  completed  five (5) days after the same shall have been  mailed.  Nothing
contained  herein shall affect the right of lender to serve legal process by any
other manner permitted by law.

The parties  hereto  hereby waive trial by jury (if  applicable)  in any action,
proceeding,  claim or  counterclaim,  whether in contract or tort,  at law or in
equity with  respect to, in  connection  with,  or arising out of this  Security
Agreement,  other financing agreements,  the obligations of Grantor and Grantor,
the collateral,  or any  instrument,  document or guarantee  delivered  pursuant
hereto or to any of the foregoing, or the validity, protection,  interpretation,
administration,  collection or enforcement hereof or thereof, or any other claim
or dispute  hereunder  or  thereunder.  Grantor  agrees  that it will not assert
against lender any claim for  consequential,  incidental,  special,  or punitive
damages  in  connection  with  this  Security   Agreement  or  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby or thereby.  No officer of lender has  authority  to waive,
condition, or modify this provision.

8.8. Security Interest Effective Immediately

Neither the  execution  nor  registration  of this  Security  Agreement  nor any
partial  advances  by the Lender  shall  bind the  Lender to  advance  any other
amounts to the Grantor.  The parties intend the security interest created hereby
to attach and take effect forthwith upon execution of this Security Agreement by
the Grantor and the Grantor  acknowledges that value has been given and that the
Grantor has rights in the Collateral.

Security Agreement or the Collateral, other than as expressed herein in writing.

obligations under this Security Agreement shall be joint and several.

<PAGE>

The  Grantor  expressly  acknowledges  and agrees  that the  provisions  of this
Security Agreement and, in particular,  those respecting  remedies and powers of

          without limitation,  enforcement of this Security  Agreement),  except
          claims,  losses  or  liabilities  resulting  from the  Lender's  gross
          negligence or willful misconduct.

     (b)  The  Grantor  will upon demand pay to the Lender the amount of any and
          all   reasonable   expenses,   including  the   reasonable   fees  and
          disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents,  which the

          Security Agreement, (ii) the custody,  preservation,  use or operation
          of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of

If for the  purpose of  obtaining  judgment  in any court or for the  purpose of
determining,  pursuant to the obligations of the undersigned,  the amounts owing
hereunder, it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in
which it is due (the  "Original  Currency")  into another  currency (the "Second
Currency"),  the rate of exchange  applied shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal  banking  procedures,  the Lender  could  purchase,  in The New York
Foreign Exchange Market,  the Original  Currency with the Second Currency on the
date two (2)  Business  Days  preceding  that on which  judgment is given or any
other payment is due hereunder. The undersigned and each of them agrees that its
obligation  in  respect  of any  Original  Currency  due  from it to the  Lender
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency,
be  discharged  only to the extent that,  on the Business Day following the date
the Lender receives  payment of any sum so adjudged or owing to be due hereunder
in the

<PAGE>

Second  Currency the Lender may, in accordance  with normal banking  procedures,
purchase, in The New York Foreign Exchange Market the Original Currency with the
amount  of the  Second  Currency  so paid;  and if the  amount  of the  Original
Currency so  purchased  or could have been so  purchased is less than the amount
originally due in the Original Currency, the undersigned and each of them agrees
as a separate  obligation  and  notwithstanding  any such payment or judgment to
indemnify  the Lender  against  such loss.  The term "rate of  exchange" in this
Section 8.15 means the spot rate at which the Lender,  in accordance with normal
practices is able on the relevant  date to purchase the Original  Currency  with
the Second  Currency and  includes any premium and costs of exchange  payable in
connection with such purchase.

TO:  OAK STREET FUNDING LLC ("Oak Street")

     WHEREAS pursuant to a Continuing  Guaranty and a General Security Agreement

          payments as the Lender's trustee,  and shall  immediately  deposit all

          Collateral Deposit Account,  (f) all funds deposited into any Lock Box
          subject to a Lock Box Agreement or a Collateral  Deposit  Account will
          be swept on a daily basis into a collection  account maintained by the
          Borrower  with Bank One,  N.A.,  or its  successors  (the  "Collection

     available  funds to the  Collection  Account,  be  applied by the Lender in
     accordance  with the Credit  Agreement.  In no event shall any amount be so
     applied   unless  and  until  such  amount  shall  have  been  credited  in
     immediately  available  funds to the Collection  Account.  The Lender shall
     require all other cash proceeds of the  Collateral,  which are not required

Property and licenses,  together with other information  relating  thereto,  and
shall do, make and deliver all such additional and further acts, things,  deeds,
assurances and instruments as the Lender may reasonably  require with respect to
the Intellectual  Property,  including,  without limitation,  the licenses.  The

application  or  registration  relating  to  Intellectual  Property  may  become
abandoned or dedicated to the public,  or of any material adverse  determination
or development  (including any claim) regarding the Intellectual Property or any
material license with respect thereto, or regarding its right to register,  keep
and  maintain  the same,  or if it knows  that a material  item of  Intellectual
Property is materially  infringed or  misappropriated  by a third party, and, in
any such event,  unless (a) the  Lender,  or (b) the Board of  Directors  of the
Borrower in the  exercise  of its  reasonable  business  judgment  after  having
considered  the advice of reputable  intellectual  property  counsel  shall have
determined that  litigation is  inappropriate  or unadvisable,  promptly sue for
infringement or misappropriation.

     Section 5.8 Certificated Securities. If the Borrower shall at any time hold
or acquire any certificated  securities,  the Borrower shall forthwith  endorse,
assign and deliver the same to the Lender,  accompanied  by such  instruments of
transfer  or  assignment  duly  executed in blank as the Lender may from time to
time specify. If any certificated securities or other investment property now or
hereafter  acquired  by the  Borrower  are held by the  Borrower  or its nominee
through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary,  the Borrower shall
immediately  notify the Lender thereof and, at the Lender's  request and option,
pursuant  to an  agreement  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Lender,
either (i) cause such securities  intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity
intermediary to agree to comply with  entitlement  orders or other  instructions
from the Lender to such  securities  intermediary as to such securities or other
investment  property,  or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on
account of any  commodity  contract as directed by the Lender to such  commodity
intermediary,  in each case  without  further  consent of the  Borrower  or such
nominee,  or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other  investment  property
held  through a  securities  intermediary,  arrange for the Lender to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment  property,  with the Borrower
being  permitted,  only with the  consent of the Lender,  to exercise  rights to
withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property.

     Section 5.9 Uncertificated  Securities.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default,  the Borrower will permit the Lender from time to time
to cause the appropriate  issuers (and, if held with a securities  intermediary,
such securities intermediary) of uncertificated  securities which are Collateral
to mark their  books and records  with the numbers and face  amounts of all such
uncertificated securities and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect
the Lien of the Lender granted pursuant to this Security Agreement. The Borrower
will  take  any  actions  necessary  to  cause  the  issuers  of  uncertificated
securities  which are Collateral and which are Securities to cause the Lender to
have and retain Control over such Securities.

     Section 5.10 Stock and Other Ownership Interests.

     liability company constituting  Collateral to dissolve,  liquidate,  retire
     any of its capital  stock or other  Instruments  or  Securities  evidencing
     ownership,  reduce  its  capital  or merge or  consolidate  with any  other
     entity,  or (ii) vote any of the  Instruments or Securities in favor of any
     of the foregoing.

          (b) Issuance of Additional Securities. The Borrower will not permit or
     suffer the issuer of privately held corporate securities or other ownership
     interests in a corporation, partnership, joint venture or limited liability
     company  constituting  Collateral  to issue  any such  securities  or other
     ownership interests,  any right to receive the same or any right to receive
     earnings, except to the Borrower.

          (c) Registration of Pledged  Securities.  The Borrower will permit any
     registerable  Collateral  to be registered in the name of the Lender or its
     nominee at any time at the option of the Lender.

          (d) Exercise of Rights in Pledged Securities. The Borrower will permit
     the Lender or its  nominee at any time after the  occurrence  of a Default,
     without notice, to exercise all voting and corporate rights relating to the
     Collateral,  including, without limitation,  exchange,  subscription or any
     other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any corporate securities
     or other  ownership  interests in or of a corporation,  partnership,  joint
     venture or limited liability company constituting  Collateral and the Stock
     Rights as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

ARTICLE 6.  AGREEMENTS CONCERNING INVENTORY

     Section 6.1 Locations. Borrower will give the Lender written notice of each
location at which  Inventory is or will be kept at all times.  Except where such

Schedule 3 hereto.

     Section 6.2 Sales of Inventory. The Borrower may, in the ordinary course of
business, at its own expense,  sell, lease or furnish under contracts of sale or
service,  any of the Inventory normally held by the Borrower for such purpose (a
sale in the ordinary  course of business does not include a transfer in total or
partial  satisfaction of a debt), and use and consume, in the ordinary course of
business,  any raw materials,  work-in-process  or materials normally held by it
for such purpose.

     Section 6.3 Condition of Inventory;  Books and Records. Borrower shall keep
all Inventory in good order and condition and shall maintain full,  accurate and
complete books and records with respect to Inventory at all times.

     Section  6.4  Warehousemen  and  Landlords.  Borrower  shall  not store any
material  portion of its  Inventory  with any bailee,  warehouseman,  or similar

Borrower  will,  concurrently  with storing such  Inventory,  cause such bailee,
warehouseman,  or similar  party to issue and deliver to the  Lender,  in a form
acceptable to the Lender, warehouse receipts in the Lender's name evidencing the
storage of the  Inventory.  The Borrower shall provide the Lender with copies of
all  agreements  between the Borrower and any bailee,  warehouseman,  or similar
party and shall deliver to the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 11

<PAGE>

Lender a landlord's or  warehouseman's  lien waiver in a form  acceptable to the
Lender,  prior to entering  into any  material  lease for  warehouse  storage or
business facilities.

placed by the Borrower on consignment with any consignee,  Borrower shall, prior

such consignment (all of which shall be in a form acceptable to the Lender); (b)
prepare,  execute and file appropriate  financing statements with respect to any
consigned  Inventory  showing the  consignee as debtor,  the Borrower as secured
party, and the Lender as assignee of the secured party; (c) prepare, execute and
file appropriate  financing  statements with respect to any consigned  Inventory
showing the Borrower, as debtor, and the Lender, as secured party; (d) conduct a
search of all UCC filings made against the  consignee and all  jurisdictions  in
which  Inventory  to be  consigned is to be located  while on  consignment,  and
furnish  copies of such  results to the  Lender;  and (e) notify in writing  all
creditors of the consignee  that are or may be holders of security  interests in
the  Inventory to be  consigned  that the  Borrower  expects to deliver  certain
Inventory to the consignee.

     Section 6.6 Compliance with Law. Borrower shall substantially comply in all
material respects with all federal, state and local laws,  regulations,  rulings
and  orders  applicable  to the  Borrower  for its  assets  or  business  in all
respects.  Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  Borrower  shall
comply  with all  requirements  of the  federal  Fair Labor  Standards  Act,  as
amended,  in the  conduct  of its  business  and the  production  of  Inventory.
Borrower shall notify the Lender immediately of any violation by Borrower of the
Fair Labor  Standards  Act,  and the  absence of such  notice  shall  constitute
Borrower's  continuing  representation that all Inventory then existing has been
produced in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.

ARTICLE 7.  AGREEMENTS CONCERNING EQUIPMENT AND FIXTURES

     Section 7.1 Locations. Borrower will give the Lender written notice of each
location at which  Equipment is or will be kept at all times,  except where such
notice is given, the Equipment will be kept at locations set forth on Schedule 3
hereto.  Schedule 3 sets forth all locations at which  Equipment and Fixtures of
the  Borrower are located and the name and owner of record of the real estate at
each location if the Borrower is not the owner of record.

     Section 7.2  Condition.  The Borrower will keep the Equipment in good order
and repair,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  and will not waste or destroy the
Equipment or any portion thereof, except in the case of obsolete Equipment which
is no longer used or useful in Borrower's business.

     Section  7.3  Titled  Equipment.  If  Borrower  now or  hereafter  has  any
vehicles,  aircraft,  watercraft,  or other Equipment for which a certificate of
title has been  issued by a  Governmental  Authority,  upon the  request  of the
Lender, the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Lender, properly endorsed,
each  certificate  of title or  application  for  title  or  other  evidence  of
ownership  for each such item of  Equipment,  and the  Borrower  shall  take all
actions  necessary to have the Lender's  security  interest properly recorded on
each such  certificate  of title and shall  take all other  steps  necessary  to
perfect the Lender's security interest in such Equipment.

     Section 7.4  Compliance  with Laws. The Borrower will not use the Equipment
in material  violation  of any  statute,  rule,  regulation  or ordinance or any
policy of insurance thereon.  Borrower will neither use the Equipment nor permit
the Equipment to be used,  for any unlawful

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 12

<PAGE>

purpose or contrary to any statute, law, ordinance or regulation relating to the
registration, use, operation or control of the Equipment.

     Section  7.5  Transfers  of  Equipment.  Borrower  may  from  time  to time
substitute Equipment, provided that (a) the substituted Equipment is not subject
to any lien or other  encumbrance  and has a fair market value at least equal to
the  fair  market  of  the  Equipment  for  which  it is  substituted;  (b)  the
marketability  and  operating  integrity  of  Borrower's  Equipment  after  such
substitution  is not impaired;  (c) the Equipment  substituted  for is no longer
used or useful in the  operation  of  Borrower's  business  and is sold in arm's
length  transaction in exchange for money or monies' worth at least equal to the
fair  market  value of such  Equipment  substituted  for;  and (d) no Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

     Section 7.6 Fixtures.  The Borrower  shall not permit any item of Equipment
to become a Fixture to real estate or an  accession  to any other  property  not
subject to the  Lender's  security  interest  herein  without the prior  written
consent of the Lender. If any Equipment is or will be attached to real estate in
such a manner  as to become a  fixture,  such real  estate  is  encumbered,  the
Borrower  will,  upon the request of the Lender,  obtain from the holder of such
real estate  encumbrance  a written  consent and  subordination  to the security
interest  hereby  granted,  or a  written  disclaimer  of any  interest  in such
Collateral, in a form acceptable to the Lender.

ARTICLE 8.  GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING COLLATERAL

     Section 8.1 Title to  After-Acquired  Collateral.  All Collateral  acquired
after  the date  hereof  will be  acquired  by the  Borrower  free of any  lien,
security interest or encumbrance, except Permitted Encumbrances.

     Section 8.2 Further  Assurances.  The Borrower agrees to do such reasonable
acts and things and deliver or cause to be delivered such other documents as the
Lender may deem necessary to establish and maintain a valid security interest in
the   Collateral   (free  of  all  other  liens  and  claims  except   Permitted
Encumbrances)  to secure the payment and  performance of the  Liabilities and to
defend title to the Collateral  against any Person claiming any interest therein
adverse to the Lender  (other than the holders of Permitted  Encumbrances).  The
Borrower  authorizes the Lender, at the expense of the Borrower,  to execute and
file a financing  statement or statements on its behalf in those public  offices
deemed advisable or necessary by the Lender to protect the security interests of
the Lender  herein  granted.  If permitted  by law,  the Borrower  agrees that a
carbon,  photographic or other  reproduction of this Security  Agreement or of a
financing statement may be filed as a financing statement.

     Section 8.3 Insurance.

          (a) The Borrower shall have and maintain at all times, with respect to
     Inventory and Equipment,  insurance written by companies  acceptable to the
     Lender covering risks  customarily  insured against by companies engaged in
     business similar to that of the Borrower in reasonable amounts,  containing
     such terms,  in such form, and for such periods  customarily  maintained by
     companies  engaged  in  business  similar  to  that of the  Borrower.  Such
     insurance  shall  be  payable  to the  Borrower  and the  Lender  as  their
     interests may appear.

          (b) All such insurance policies shall carry standard, non-contributory
     lender's  loss  payable  clauses in favor of the Lender (to the extent such
     Inventory or Equipment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 13

<PAGE>

     constitutes First Lien Collateral).  The insurance certificates  evidencing
     the  Borrower's  compliance  with the  above  shall be  deposited  with the
     Lender,  and in the  event the  Borrower  fails to file and  maintain  such
     insurance,  the Lender may, at its option,  purchase such insurance and the
     cost of such insurance  shall become a Liability  secured by these presents
     and all sums expended  shall bear  interest at the highest  Default rate of
     interest set forth in the Credit  Agreement until paid. If requested by the
     Lender, the Borrower shall deliver certified copies of such policies to the
     Lender. The Borrower shall pay all insurance premiums promptly when due and
     shall  provide  substitute  policies of insurance  should the Lender at any
     time reject, for reasonable cause, any such policies of insurance furnished
     by the  Borrower.  In the event that a Default  or  Unmatured  Default  has
     occurred and is continuing,  the Borrower  hereby assigns to the Lender the
     proceeds of all such insurance,  including, without limitation, any premium
     refunds, to the extent of the Liabilities, shall direct the insurer to make
     payment of any losses or refunds  directly to the Lender,  and appoints the
     Lender its  attorney-in-fact  to endorse any draft,  check or other form of
     payment made by such insurer.

     Section  8.4  Collection  of  Collateral.  The  Borrower  will,  at its own
expense,  endeavor to collect,  as and when due, all amounts due with respect to
any  Collateral  including  the  taking  of such  action  with  respect  to such
collection  as the  Lender may  reasonably  request  or, in the  absence of such
request, as the Borrower may deem advisable.

     Section 8.5 Lender May Defend Title. In the event the Borrower fails to pay
any taxes,  assessments,  premiums,  or fees, or fails to discharge any liens or
claims against the Collateral required to be paid or discharged by the Borrower,
or fails to purchase,  maintain and file with the Lender any insurance  required
by this Security  Agreement,  or if any such insurance is  inappropriate  to the
situation, in the Lender's reasonable discretion, the Lender may, without demand
or notice, pay any such taxes,  assessments,  premiums or fees, or pay, acquire,
satisfy  or  discharge  any  liens or claims  asserted  against  the  Collateral
(without any obligation to determine the validity thereof), or purchase any such
insurance.  All sums so expended by the Lender shall become a Liability  secured
by these  presents  and shall  bear  interest  at the  highest  Default  rate of
interest set forth in the Credit Agreement until paid.

     Section 8.6 Negotiable Collateral. If any First Lien Collateral,  including
Proceeds,  consists of a letter of credit,  certificates of deposit,  negotiable
Documents  (other than checks received by the Borrower in the ordinary course of
business),  or chattel  paper,  the  Borrower  shall,  immediately  upon receipt
thereof,  endorse  and assign  such  Collateral,  and  deliver  actual  physical
possession thereof,  to the Lender, and prior to such delivery,  shall hold such
property in trust for the Lender.  Schedule 5 hereto is a true and correct  list
of all such negotiable Collateral owned by the Borrower.  The Borrower will give
the Lender written notice each time it acquires such additional negotiable First
Lien Collateral.

     Section 8.7  Contracts.  The Borrower  shall  remain  liable to perform its
obligations  under any  contracts  included in the  Collateral  to the extent as
though this Security  Agreement had not been entered into,  and the Lender shall
not have any obligation under any such contracts by reason of this Agreement.

     Section 8.8 Inspection of Collateral and Records.  During  Borrower's usual
business hours,  the Lender may inspect and examine the Collateral and check and
test the same as to quality, quantity, value, and condition;  provided, however,
that the Borrower may refuse to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 14

<PAGE>

disclose any  information  regarding  Accounts  that would cause the Borrower to
violate  applicable  privacy or other laws. The Borrower  shall take  reasonable
steps,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  negotiation  and  execution  of
confidentiality  agreements with the Lender, in regard to each Account necessary
to allow the Borrower to disclose as much  information as possible to the Lender
regarding said Accounts without  violating any applicable  privacy or other law.
The  Lender  shall  also have the right at any time or times  hereafter,  during
Borrower's  usual business hours or during the usual business hours of any third
party having  control over the records of the  Borrower,  to inspect  Borrower's
books and  records in order to verify the amount or  condition  of, or any other
matter  relating to, the Collateral and  Borrower's  financial  condition and to
copy and make extracts from such books and records. Borrower waives the right to
assert a confidential relationship, if any, it may have with any accounting firm
in  connection  with any  information  requested by the Lender  pursuant to this
Security  Agreement  and agrees  that the Lender may  directly  contact any such
accounting  firm in order to  obtain  such  information  after  prior  notice to
Borrower.

     Section  8.9  Transfer  of  Collateral.  Borrower  shall not  sell,  lease,
license,  transfer or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Collateral except
(a) sales of Inventory in the  ordinary  course of business  pursuant to Section
6.2, (b)  licensings  and other  dispositions  of  Intellectual  Property in the
ordinary  course of business  pursuant to Section 5.3, and (c)  dispositions  of
Equipment in accordance with Section 7.5.

ARTICLE 9.  REMEDY

     Section 9.1 Remedies  Generally;  Power of Sale.  Upon the  occurrence  and
during the  continuance  of any Default and at any time  thereafter,  the Lender
shall have all  rights and  remedies  available  at law or in equity  including,
without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Indiana
Uniform  Commercial  Code, as in effect from time to time (regardless of whether
the Code has been  enacted in the  jurisdiction  where  rights or  remedies  are
asserted),  including,  without limitation,  the right to take possession of the
Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Borrower can give
authority  therefor,  enter upon any  premises  on which the  Collateral  may be
situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender shall give to the Borrower at
least ten (10) days'  prior  written  notice of the time and place of any public
sale of  Collateral  or of the time after  which any  private  sale or any other
intended  disposition is to be made.  The Lender may in its discretion  transfer
any securities or other property  constituting  Collateral  into its own name or
that of its nominee and receive the income thereon and hold the same as security
for Liabilities or apply it on principal or interest due on Liabilities.  In the
event  that the  Lender  takes  possession  of any  Intellectual  Property,  the
goodwill  associated with any trademarks,  trade names, trade dress, and service
marks of the Borrower shall be transferred to the Lender.

     Section 9.2 Deposits. Any and all Deposit Accounts,  deposits or other sums
at any time  credited  by or due from the  Lender to the  Borrower  shall at all
times constitute security for any and all Liabilities,  and the Lender may apply
or set off  such  deposits  or other  sums  against  Liabilities  at any time in
Default  whether  or not the  Liabilities  are then due or other  Collateral  is
considered by the Lender to be adequate.

     Section 9.3 Waiver and Amendment.  Except as otherwise  expressly set forth
herein,  to the extent  permitted by law, the Borrower  waives  demand,  notice,
protest, notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement,  notice of loans made,
credit  extended,  Collateral  received or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 15

<PAGE>

delivered  or other action  taken in reliance  hereon and all other  demands and
notices of any description. With respect to both Liabilities and Collateral, the
Borrower  assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any
other indulgence,  to any substitution,  exchange, or release of Collateral,  to
the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily  liable,
to the acceptance of partial payments thereon and the settlement,  compromise or
adjustment  of any thereof,  all in such manner and at such time or times as the
Lender may deem advisable. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Lender shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral, or any income
therefrom, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties nor as the
preservation of any rights  pertaining  thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.
The Lender may exercise its rights with respect to Collateral  without resorting
or regard to other Collateral or sources of reimbursement for any Liability. The
Lender  shall not be deemed to have  waived  any of these  rights  upon or under
Liabilities  or  Collateral  unless  such waiver be in writing and signed by the
Lender.  No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising  any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver on any one
occasion  shall not be  construed  as a bar to the  exercise of any right on any
future occasion.  All rights and remedies of the Lender as to the Liabilities or
Collateral  whether  evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers shall
be cumulative and may be exercised singly,  successively or together. The Lender
may,  from time to time,  without  notice to the Borrower (a) retain or obtain a
security  interest  in any  property  of any other  Person,  in  addition to the
Collateral,  to secure any of the Liabilities;  (b) retain or obtain the primary
or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to the Borrower with
respect to any of the  Liabilities;  (c) extend or renew for any period (whether
or not longer than the original  period) or release or compromise  any liability
of any party or parties primarily or secondarily  liable to the Lender under the
Credit  Agreement;  (d) release  its  security  interest in any of the  property
securing any of the Liabilities and permit any  substitution or exchange for any
such  property;  and (e) resort to the  Collateral for the payment of any of the
Liabilities whether or not it shall have resorted to any other property or shall
have proceeded against any party primarily or secondarily  liable for any of the
Liabilities.  The Lender  shall not,  under any  circumstances,  or in any event
whatsoever,  have any  liability  for any error or omission or delay of any kind
occurring  in the  liquidation  of any  Collateral,  including  the  settlement,
collection of any Account or for any damage resulting therefrom except liability
resulting  from any act or  omission  by the Lender  which  constitutes  willful
misconduct. This Security Agreement may be amended only by a writing duly signed
by the Lender and the Borrower.

     Section 9.4 Expenses; Proceeds of Collateral. The Borrower shall pay to the
Lender  on  demand  any and all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting  the
Collateral or the  existence,  perfection  or priority of the Lender's  security
interest  therein.  After  deducting  all of such  expenses,  the residue of any
Proceeds of collection or sale of the Collateral shall be applied to the payment
of  principal  or interest on  Liabilities  in such order of  preference  as the
Lender may determine,  proper allowance for interest on Liabilities not then due
being made, and any excess shall be returned to the Borrower.

     Section 9.5 Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the
Lender  and the  Lender's  designees  from  time to time  its  true  and  lawful
attorneys-in-fact,  with full power of  substitution  in the  premises  upon the
occurrence  and  during the  continuance  of a Default  (a) to demand,  collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise,  adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the
Collateral  in such  manner as the  Lender  may  determine,  whether  or not the
Collateral is

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     PAGE 16

<PAGE>

then due; (b) to receive,  open,  and dispose of mail addressed to the Borrower;
(c) to endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, Documents or other evidences
of payment,  shipment or storage or any form of  Collateral  on behalf of and in
the name of the  Borrower;  (d) to sign and send on behalf of the  Borrower  any
invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account,  on drafts against customers,
on schedules and  assignments of Accounts,  on notices of assignment,  financing
statements and other public records, on verifications of Accounts and on notices
to customers; (e) to sign the Borrower's name to the proofs of claim against any
Account  Debtor  on  behalf  of the  Borrower;  (f) to  notify  the post  office
authorities  to change the address for  delivery  of the  Borrower's  mail to an
address  designated  by  the  Lender;  (g) to  endorse  Borrower's  name  on all
applications,  documents,  papers,  certificates  and  instruments  necessary or
expedient  for the Lender to use the  Intellectual  Property,  or  necessary  or
expedient to grant or issue any  exclusive  or  nonexclusive  license  under the
Intellectual  Property to anyone else,  or necessary or expedient for the Lender
to assign,  pledge,  convey or otherwise  transfer  title in, or dispose of, the
Intellectual Property to anyone else, for the purpose of recording, registering,
filing or  accomplishing  any other  formula  with  respect to the  Intellectual
Property;  and  (h) to do all  things  necessary  to  carry  out  this  Security
Agreement. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorneys.
Neither the Lender nor any attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions nor
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law,  absent  gross  negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.  This power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable  until the Liabilities  have been fully  satisfied.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no attorney acting pursuant to this Section 9.5
shall have any authority to confess judgment on behalf of the Borrower.

     Section 9.6 License. Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a license to use,
without  charge,  Borrower's  Intellectual  Property  and  other  Collateral  in
completing  production of, advertising for sale, or selling, any Collateral when
permitted  to do so hereunder or by  applicable  law, and all of the  Borrower's
rights under all licenses and franchise  agreements shall, in such event,  inure
to the Lender's  benefit.  In addition,  the Borrower shall, upon request by the
Lender,  make available  such personnel in Borrower's  employ on the date of any
Default as the Lender may reasonably designate to permit the Lender to continue,
directly or indirectly,  to produce,  advertise and sell the Collateral  sold by
the Borrower  under any  Intellectual  Property or license.  The license  herein
shall include the right of the Lender to use, assign,  license or sublicense any
of the Borrower's  Intellectual  Property,  including in such license reasonable
access as to all media in which any of the  licensed  items may be  recorded  or
stored;  provided  that the Lender  shall comply with all  pre-existing  quality
control standards and trademark use requirements of the Borrower.  No agreements
hereafter  entered into by the Borrower shall  prohibit,  restrict or impair the
rights of the Lender granted hereunder.

     Section  9.7  Reinstatement.  If, at any time after  payment in full by the
Borrower of all Liabilities and termination of the Lender's  security  interest,

                               CONTINUING GUARANTY

     THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY  ("Guaranty") is made as of the 19th day of March,
2004,  by ANTHONY  CLARK  INTERNATIONAL  INSURANCE  BROKERS  LTD., a corporation
amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the "Guarantor") in favor
of OAK STREET  FUNDING  LLC (the  "Lender"),  pursuant  to that  certain  Credit
Agreement, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
"Credit Agreement") of even date herewith, by and between ADDISON YORK INSURANCE
BROKERS LTD., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Borrower") and the Lender.  Unless
otherwise defined herein,  capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

     Section 1. Guaranty.

     For value received and in consideration  of any loan,  advance or financial
accommodation  of any kind  whatsoever  now or heretofore  or hereafter  made or
granted to the  Borrower  by the Lender  pursuant to the Credit  Agreement,  the
Guarantor, in accordance with this Guaranty, hereby absolutely,  unconditionally
and irrevocably  guarantees to the Lender, as if the Guarantor was the principal
debtor,  the punctual payment and performance when due of all Obligations (which
for purposes of this Guaranty  shall also be deemed to include all  commissions,
fees, charges, costs and other expenses arising out of or incurred by the Lender
in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty).

     Section  2.  Continuing   Guaranty;   No  Right  of  Set-Off;   Independent
Obligation.

     (a) This  Guaranty  shall  be a  continuing  guaranty  of the  payment  and
performance of all  Obligations  and shall remain in full force and effect until
the payment in full of all of the  Obligations and shall apply to and secure any
ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lender;  and this Guaranty shall
not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation
at any time or from time to time of any sum of money  for the time  being due or
remaining  unpaid to the Lender.  The  Guarantor  covenants and agrees to comply
with all obligations,  covenants,  agreements and provisions applicable to it in
this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor's
liability  shall extend to all amounts which  constitute part of the Obligations
and would be owed by the  Borrower  pursuant  thereto but for the fact that they
are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to
the existence of a bankruptcy,  reorganization or similar  proceeding  involving
the Borrower.

     (b) The Guarantor  hereby  guarantees that the Obligations  will be paid to
the  Lender  without  set-off  or  counterclaim  or other  reduction  whatsoever
(whether for taxes,  withholding or otherwise) in lawful  currency of the United
States of America.

     (c) All payments by the Guarantor  under this  Guaranty  shall be made free
and clear of, and without  deduction or  withholding  for, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies,  duties,  imposts,  charges or fees or any
related  penalties,  interest or other liabilities  ("Taxes").  If any Taxes are
required to be deducted or withheld from any amount  payable to the Lender under
this Guaranty,  the Guarantor  shall pay  additional  amounts so that the amount
received by the Lender  after the  deduction of such Taxes  (including  Taxes on
such  additional  amounts) equals the amount that the Lender would have received
if no Taxes had been deducted. The Guarantor shall pay to the appropriate taxing
authority all Taxes required to be deducted or

<PAGE>

withheld.  Within  thirty (30) days after paying any such Taxes,  the  Guarantor
shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified  copy of the receipt for
such payment.  Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional  amounts to the
Lender on account of any Taxes,  including,  but not limited to,  income  taxes,
imposed solely by reason of a present or past connection  between the Lender and
the  jurisdiction  imposing such Taxes (except a connection  arising solely from
the execution, delivery, performance,  enforcement of or the receipt of payments
under this Guaranty). The Guarantor shall indemnify the Lender against any Taxes
imposed  on (and any  related  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by) the Lender on
account of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of or the receipt
of payments  under this  Guaranty  other than Taxes  imposed  solely by reason a
present or past connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such
Taxes  (except  a  connection  arising  solely  from  the  execution,  delivery,
performance, enforcement of or the receipt of payments under this Guaranty). The
Guarantor  also shall pay and  indemnify  the Lender  against any stamp or other
documentary, excise or property taxes or similar levies, imposts, or charges (or
any related  liability)  arising  from the  execution,  delivery,  registration,
performance or enforcement of this Guaranty.

     (d) The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in
accordance  with their terms  regardless of any law,  regulation or order now or
hereafter  in  effect in any  jurisdiction  affecting  any of such  terms or the
rights of the Lender.

     (e) The Guarantor's liability to pay or perform or cause the performance of
the Obligations shall arise forthwith after demand for payment or performance by
the Lender has been given to the  Guarantor in the manner  prescribed in Section
24 hereof.

     (f) Except as provided  herein,  the  provisions of this Guaranty cover all
agreements  between the parties hereto relative to this Guaranty and none of the
parties  shall be bound by any  representation,  warranty or promise made by any
Person  relative  thereto which is not embodied  herein;  and it is specifically
acknowledged  and agreed that this Guaranty has been  delivered by the Guarantor
free of any  conditions  whatsoever and that no  representations,  warranties or
promises have been made to the Guarantor  affecting its  liabilities  hereunder,
and that the Lender  shall not be bound by any  representations,  warranties  or
promises now or at any time hereafter made by the Borrower to the Guarantor.

     (g) This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and
not of  collectability  and is in no way  conditioned  or  contingent  upon  any
attempt to collect from or enforce  performance or compliance by the Borrower or
upon any event or condition whatsoever.

     (h) The  obligations of the Guarantor set forth herein  constitute the full
recourse obligations of the Guarantor  enforceable against it to the full extent
of all its assets and properties.

     Section 3. Guaranty Absolute.

     The  obligations  of  the  Guarantor   hereunder  are  independent  of  the
obligations of the Borrower under the Obligations and the Credit Agreement and a
separate  action or actions may be brought and prosecuted  against the Guarantor
whether or not an action or  proceeding  is brought  against  the  Borrower  and
whether or not the  Borrower  is joined in any such  action or  proceeding.  The
liability of the Guarantor hereunder is irrevocable,  absolute and unconditional

foreclosure  thereon,  shall not, as between the  Lender,  on one hand,  and the
Guarantor,  on the other hand, be considered as a purchase of such security,  or
as payment,  satisfaction  or reduction of the  Obligations due to the Lender by
the Borrower or any part thereof.  The Guarantor,  promptly  after demand,  will
reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses of collecting such amount under,
or enforcing this Guaranty,  including,  without limitation, the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel.

     Section 5. Waivers.

     (a) The Guarantor  hereby expressly waives (to the extent permitted by law)
notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence,  renewal,
extension or the

                                       4

<PAGE>

non-performance,  non-payment,  or non-observance on the part of the Borrower of
any of the terms,  covenants,  conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement
or the Obligations or any other notice whatsoever to or upon the Borrower or the
Guarantor with respect to the  Obligations.  The Guarantor  hereby  acknowledges
communication to it of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Obligations and
all of the provisions  therein  contained and consents to and approves the same.
The  Guarantor  hereby  expressly  waives  (to  the  extent  permitted  by  law)
diligence,  presentment,  protest and demand for payment with respect to (i) any
notice of sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to or interest
in the  Obligations by the Lender or in this  Guaranty,  (ii) any release of the
Guarantor from its  obligations  hereunder  resulting from any loss by it of its
rights of  subrogation  hereunder and (iii) any other  circumstances  whatsoever
that might  otherwise  constitute  a legal or  equitable  discharge,  release or
defense of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse  against
the Guarantor.

     (b) Without  prejudice to any of the rights or  recourses  which the Lender
may have against the Borrower,  the Guarantor  hereby  expressly  waives (to the
extent permitted by law) any right to require the Lender to:

          (i)  enforce,  assert,  exercise,  initiate  or  exhaust  any  rights,
     remedies  or recourse  against the  Borrower,  the  Guarantor  or any other
     Person  under this  Guaranty or the Credit  Agreement  or  otherwise;

          (ii) value,  realize  upon, or dispose of any security of the Borrower
     or any other Person held by the Lender;

          (iii)  initiate or exhaust any other  remedy which the Lender may have
     in law or equity; or

          (iv)  mitigate  the  damages  resulting  from any  default  under  the
     Obligations or the Credit Agreement;

before requiring or becoming entitled to demand payment from the Guarantor under
this Guaranty.

     Section 6. The  Guarantor  Remains  Obligated  in Event the  Borrower Is No
Longer Obligated to Discharge Obligations.

     It is the express intention of the Lender and the Guarantor that if for any
reason  the  Borrower  has no  legal  existence,  is or  becomes  under no legal
obligation to discharge the  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the Borrower or
if  any  of  the  Obligations  owing  by the  Borrower  to  the  Lender  becomes
irrecoverable  from  the  Borrower  by  operation  of  law  or  for  any  reason
whatsoever,  this Guaranty and the covenants,  agreements and obligations of the
Guarantor  contained in this  Guaranty  shall  nevertheless  be binding upon the
Guarantor,  as principal  debtor,  until such time as all such  Obligations have
been paid in full to the Lender and all  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the
Borrower have been  discharged,  and the Guarantor  shall be responsible for the
payment thereof to the Lender upon demand.

     Section 7. Fraudulent Conveyance; Subrogation.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding,
the aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be reduced to
the extent  necessary  to prevent  this  Guaranty  from  violating  or  becoming
voidable under applicable law

                                       5

relating  to  fraudulent  conveyance  or  fraudulent  transfer  or similar  laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.

     (B) THE GUARANTOR  HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION OR
CONTRIBUTION,  WHETHER  ARISING BY  CONTRACT  OR  OPERATION  OF LAW  (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  ANY SUCH RIGHT ARISING UNDER  FEDERAL  BANKRUPTCY  LAW) OR
OTHERWISE  BY REASON OF ANY  PAYMENT BY IT PURSUANT  TO THE  PROVISIONS  OF THIS
GUARANTY UNTIL AND UNLESS ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

     Section 8. Guaranty Is in Addition to Other Security.

     This Guaranty shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other
guarantees  or other  security  which the  Lender may now or  hereafter  hold in
respect of the  Obligations  owing to the Lender by the  Borrower and (except as
may be required by law) the Lender  shall be under no  obligation  to marshal in
favor of the Guarantor any other  guarantees or other  security or any moneys or
other  assets  which the  Lender  may be  entitled  to receive or upon which the
Lender may have a claim.

     Section 9. Release of Security Interests.

     Without  limiting the  generality  of the foregoing and except as otherwise
provided in this  Guaranty,  the Guarantor  hereby  consents and agrees,  to the
fullest  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  that the  rights of the Lender
hereunder,  and the liability of the Guarantor hereunder,  shall not be affected
by any and all  releases  for any purpose of any  collateral,  if any,  from the
Liens and security  interests  created by any collateral  document and that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by the Lender upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or  reorganization of
the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

     Section 10. No Bar to Further Actions.

     Except as provided by law, no action or  proceeding  brought or  instituted
under the Credit  Agreement  or this  Guaranty  and no  recovery  or judgment in
pursuance  thereof shall be a bar or defense to any further action or proceeding
which may be brought  under the Credit  Agreement or this  Guaranty by reason of
any further default or defaults under the Credit Agreement or Guaranty or in the
payment of any of the Obligations owing by the Borrower.

     Section 11.  Failure to Exercise  Rights Shall Not Operate as a Waiver;  No
Suspension of Remedies.

     (a) No failure to exercise and no delay in  exercising,  on the part of the
Lender, any right, power, privilege or remedy under the Credit Agreement or this
Guaranty  shall  operate  as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise  thereof,  or the exercise of any other rights,  powers,  privileges or
remedies.  The rights and remedies  herein  provided for are  cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity.

     (b) Nothing  contained in this Guaranty shall limit the right of the Lender
to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations pursuant to the
Credit  Agreement  or to  pursue  any  rights  or  remedies  hereunder  or under
applicable law.

     Section 12. Lender's Duties; Notice to Lender.

     (a) Any  provision  in this  Guaranty  allowing  the Lender to request  any
information or to take any action  authorized by, or on behalf of the Guarantor,
shall be  permissive  and shall not be obligatory on the Lender except where the
failure of the Lender to request any such information or to take any such action
arises from the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (b) The Lender shall not be required to inquire into the existence,  powers
or  capacities of the  Borrower,  the  Guarantor or the  officers,  directors or
agents acting or purporting to act on their respective behalf.

     Section 13. Successors and Assigns.

     All terms,  agreements  and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and
be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Lender and its successors and
assigns; provided,  however, that the Guarantor may not assign any of its rights
or obligations hereunder.

     Section 14. Release of Guaranty.

     Concurrently  with  the  payment  in  full of all of the  Obligations,  the
Guarantor  shall be released  from and  relieved of its  obligations  under this
Guaranty.  Upon the  delivery  by the  Borrower  to the Lender of a  certificate
signed by an  authorized  senior  officer of the Borrower to the effect that the
transaction giving rise to the release of this Guaranty was made by the Borrower
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit  Agreement and the  Obligations,
the Lender shall execute any documents  reasonably required in order to evidence
the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty. If any of
the  Obligations  are  revived  and  reinstated  after the  termination  of this
Guaranty, then all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall
be revived and reinstated as if this Guaranty had not been terminated until such
time as the  Obligations are paid in full, and the Guarantor shall enter into an
amendment to this Guaranty,  reasonably  satisfactory to the Lender,  evidencing
such revival and reinstatement.

     Section 15. Representations and Warranties.

     The Guarantor  represents  and warrants to the Lender as of the date hereof
that:

          (i)  The Guarantor (a) is either a corporation or a limited  liability
               company duly organized,  validly  existing and in existence under
               the laws of the  jurisdiction  of its  organization,  (b) is duly
               qualified to do business as a foreign  corporation and is in good
               standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it is doing
               business,  and (c) has all requisite  power and authority to own,
               operate and encumber its property;

          (ii) The  Guarantor  (a) has the  requisite  power  and  authority  to
               execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and any other document
               required to be  delivered by it under the Credit  Agreement,  and
               (b)  has  duly  executed  and  delivered   this  Guaranty   which
               constitutes  the  legal,  valid  and  binding  obligation  of the
               Guarantor  enforceable  against the Guarantor in accordance  with
               its terms; and

                                       7

<PAGE>

          (iii)The execution,  delivery and  performance of this Guaranty do not
               and will not (a) conflict with the Articles of Incorporation  and
               By-Laws,  as  applicable,  of  the  Guarantor,  (b)  require  any
               approval  of  the  Guarantor's   shareholders   or  members,   as
               applicable,  except  such as has been  obtained,  (c) require any
               approval  or  consent  of  any  other   Person  or   Governmental
               Authority,  (d) result in or require the  creation of any lien or
               security  interest upon or with respect to any of the  properties
               or assets of the Guarantor other than in favor of the Lender, and
               (e) conflict with,  result in a breach of or constitute a default
               under any  requirement  of law or  contractual  obligation of the
               Guarantor.

     Section 16. Setoff.

     At any time after all or any part of the  Obligations  have  become due and
payable (by  acceleration or otherwise),  the Lender may,  without notice to the
Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the
payment  hereof,  appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of
the Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from the Lender to the
Guarantor,  and (b) any  moneys,  credits  or other  property  belonging  to the
Guarantor held by or coming into the possession of the Lender.

     Section 17. Subordination.

     The Guarantor  agrees that any and all claims of the Guarantor  against the
Borrower, or against any of its properties,  shall be subordinate and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment of the  Obligations.  Notwithstanding  any
right of the Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from
the Borrower, all rights, liens and security interests of the Guarantor, whether
now or hereafter arising and howsoever  existing,  in any assets of the Borrower
shall be and  hereby  are  subordinated  to the  rights  of the  Lender in those
assets.  The Guarantor shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to
foreclose  any such lien or security  interest,  whether by  judicial  action or
otherwise,  unless and until all of the  Obligations  shall have been fully paid
and satisfied. If all or any part of the assets of the Borrower, or the proceeds
thereof,  are  subject  to any  distribution,  division  or  application  to the
creditors  of  the  Borrower,   whether   partial  or  complete,   voluntary  or
involuntary,  and  whether by reason of  liquidation,  bankruptcy,  arrangement,
receivership,  assignment  for the benefit of  creditors  or any other action or
proceeding, or if the business of the Borrower is dissolved, or if substantially
all of the assets of the Borrower  are sold,  then,  and in any such event,  any
payment or distribution of any kind or character,  either in cash, securities or
other  property,  which shall be payable or deliverable  upon or with respect to
any  indebtedness  of the Borrower to the  Guarantor  shall be paid or delivered
directly to the Lender for  application on the  Obligations due or to become due
until  such shall have  first  been  fully  paid and  satisfied.  The  Guarantor
irrevocably  authorizes and empowers the Lender to demand,  sue for, collect and
receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance  therefor and to
make and  present  for and on behalf of the  Guarantor  such proofs of claim and
take such other action, in the Lender's own name or in the name of the Guarantor
or otherwise,  as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement
of this  Guaranty.  The  Lender  may  vote  such  proofs  of  claim  in any such
proceeding,  receive  and  collect any and all  dividends  or other  payments or
disbursements  made thereon in whatever  form the same may be paid or issued and
apply  the  same on  account  of any of the  Obligations.  Should  any  payment,
distribution,  security or  instrument  or  proceeds  thereof

                                       8
<PAGE>

be received by the Guarantor upon or with respect to any of  Indebtedness of the
Borrower to the Guarantor prior to the  satisfaction of all of the  Obligations,
the  Guarantor  shall  receive and hold the same in trust,  as trustee,  for the
benefit  of the  Lender and shall  forthwith  deliver  the same to the Lender in
precisely the form  received  (except for the  endorsement  or assignment of the
Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations, and until
so  delivered,  the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property
of the Lender. If the Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment
to the Lender, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. The
Guarantor  agrees  that  until  the  Obligations  have  been  paid in  full  and
satisfied,  the  Guarantor  will not assign or  transfer to any Person any claim
that the Guarantor has or may have against the Borrower.

     Section 18. Amendments.

     No  modification  or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall
be binding  upon the Lender,  except as  expressly  set forth in a writing  duly
signed and delivered by the Lender.

     Section 19. Governing Law.

     This  Guaranty  shall  be  governed  by and  interpreted  and  enforced  in
accordance   with  the  internal  laws  (without  regard  to  conflicts  of  law
provisions) of the State of Indiana. Without limiting the foregoing, any dispute
between  the  Lender  and  the  Guarantor  arising  out  of or  related  to  the
relationship established between them in connection with this Guaranty,  whether
arising in contract, tort, equity or otherwise,  shall be resolved in accordance
with the internal laws, and not the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of
Indiana.

     Section 20. Consent to Jurisdiction; Counterclaims; Forum Non Conveniens.

     Except as provided hereinbelow, the Lender and the Guarantor agree that all
disputes between them arising out of or related to the relationship  established
between them in  connection  with this  Guaranty,  whether  arising in contract,
tort,  equity,  or otherwise,  shall be resolved only by state or federal courts
located in Indianapolis,  Indiana, provided however that the parties acknowledge
that any appeals  from those courts may be heard by a court  located  outside of
Indianapolis,  Indiana.  The Lender shall have the right to proceed  against the
Guarantor  or its real or personal  property in a court in any location in order
to obtain personal  jurisdiction  over the Guarantor or to enforce a judgment or
other court order entered  against the  Guarantor,  and the Guarantor  shall not
assert any permissive  counterclaims arising out of or relating to this Guaranty
in any proceeding brought under this provision.  The Guarantor hereby waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have (including,  without limitation, any
objection  to the  laying  of venue or based  on forum  non  conveniens)  to the
location of the court in which any  proceeding  with respect to this Guaranty or
any other document executed or delivered in connection  herewith is commenced in
accordance with this Section 20.

     Section 21. Waiver of Jury Trial.

     The  Guarantor  waives any right to trial by jury in any  dispute,  whether
sounding  in  contract,  tort,  or  otherwise  arising  out of or related to the
transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or any other instrument,  document or
agreement executed or delivered in connection  herewith.  The Lender may file an
original  counterpart  or a copy of this

                                       9
<PAGE>

Guaranty  with any court as written  evidence of the consent of the Guarantor to
the waiver of its rights to trial by jury.

     Section 22. Waiver of Bond.

     The  Guarantor  waives the  posting of any bond  otherwise  required of the
Lender in  connection  with any judicial  process or  proceeding  to enforce any
judgment or other court order  entered in favor of the Lender,  or to enforce by
specific  performance,  temporary restraining order, or preliminary or permanent
injunction,  this Guaranty or any other agreement or document between the Lender
and the Guarantor.

     Section 23. Advice of Counsel.

     The Guarantor  represents  and warrants  that it has  consulted  with legal
counsel regarding all waivers under this Guaranty, that it fully understands all
rights  that it is waiving and the effect of such  waivers,  that it assumes the
risk of any  misunderstanding  that it may have  regarding any of the foregoing,
and that it intends  that such  waivers  shall be a material  inducement  to the
Lender to extend the Indebtedness guaranteed hereby.

     Section 24. Notices.

     All  notices  and other  communications  required  or desired to be served,

directly  with  account  debtors or by other  procedures,  to have access to all
premises  occupied by the Grantor or any place where the Collateral may be found
in order to discuss the  affairs,  finances  and  accounts  of the Grantor  with
appropriate  officers,  to inspect the Collateral and to examine the information

Equipment,  validly created in accordance with the PPSA, on Collateral hereafter
acquired by the Debtor,  the Grantor shall keep the Collateral free at all times
from any and all Encumbrances of whatsoever nature,  kind or priority other than
those consented to by the Lender or  Encumbrances  which, in the sole opinion of
counsel to the Lender, are satisfactorily  subordinated to Encumbrances in favor
of the  Lender,  defend the title to the  Collateral  against all  persons,  not
permit the  Collateral to become an accession to any property not subject to the
security  interest  granted by this  Security  Agreement or a security  interest

and not to become a fixture  unless the  security  interest of the Lender  ranks

Encumbrance including, without limitation, any purchase money security interest.

3.5. Insurance

insured  against  by  businesses  owning or  operating  Collateral  of a similar

purposes,  as may be satisfactory to the Lender. Loss under such insurance shall
be payable to the Lender as its  interest  may appear and such  insurance  shall
contain a mortgage  clause  acceptable to the Lender.  The Grantor shall, at the
Lender's  request,  provide  satisfactory  evidence that such insurance has been
effected,  that loss  thereunder  is payable to the Lender as its  interest  may
appear and any other  information  relating to such  insurance as the Lender may
require.  If the Grantor fails to maintain  satisfactory  insurance,  the Lender

connection therewith and all such costs and expenses shall be deemed advanced to

deposit or collection in the ordinary course of its business;  provide financial
assistance  (including,  without limitation,  by way of loans to, investments in

or a series of  transactions;  otherwise  cease to carry on  business as a going
concern; do or omit to do any other act or thing that could materially adversely
affect its business,  financial condition,  assets or position or its ability to
carry on the business as now conducted by it; or allow,  permit or authorize any
such change in business, acquisition, extension of financial assistance, merger,
reconstruction, consolidation, carrying on of business, arrangement or cessation
of business of any of its subsidiaries except a merger contemplated herein.

          shall be promptly  paid and  discharged  when due in  conformity  with
          ordinary trade terms,  except for any such indebtedness which is being
          contested in good faith by the Grantor by appropriate  proceedings and
          adequate  reserves  for  which  have  been  established  and are being
          maintained and in connection with which no Encumbrance has been placed

          or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

3.12. Protective Disbursements - Legal Fees

If the  Grantor  fails to pay any  amounts  required to be paid by it under this

set forth in this  Security  Agreement  to be observed or  performed  by it, the
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pay such amounts or observe and
perform any of such covenants and obligations in any manner deemed proper by the
Lender, without waiving any of its rights under this Security Agreement. No such
payment or  performance by the Lender shall relieve the Grantor from any default
under  this  Security  Agreement  or  the  consequences  of  such  default.  The
reasonable  expenses,  including the cost of any insurance,  payment of taxes or
other  charges and legal fees and  expenses  on a  solicitor  and his own client

          open (i) a Deposit  Account,  to enter into a Deposit  Account Control
          Agreement  with the Lender in order to give the Lender Control of such
          Deposit  Account,  or  (ii) a  Lock  Box,  to  enter  into a Lock  Box

          satisfaction  of the  Liabilities.  In no event shall any amount be so
          applied  unless and until such  amount  shall  have been  credited  in
          immediately  available  funds to the  Collection  Account.  The Lender
          shall  require  all  other  cash  proceeds  of  the  Collateral  to be

          any sale or disposition of the Collateral are  insufficient to pay all
          Liabilities, including any attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred
          by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

          adjustment,   composition  or  liquidation   law  or  statute  of  any

          any act  indicates  consent to or approval of or  acquiescence  in any
          Proceeding or the  appointment of any receiver,  trustee,  liquidator,

<PAGE>

     (g)  If the Lender, in its absolute discretion,  concludes as the result of
          the  occurrence  of any  material  change in the  condition or affairs
          (financial  or otherwise)  of the Grantor or any  Guarantor,  that the
          essential basis of the Liabilities or security hereby  constituted has
          been impaired or otherwise altered.

SECTION 6 - REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

If the security hereby constituted becomes  enforceable,  the Lender shall have,
in addition to any other  rights,  remedies and powers which it may have at law,
in equity or under the PPSA, the following rights, remedies and powers:

6.1. Power of Entry

The  Grantor  shall  forthwith  upon demand  assemble  and deliver to the Lender
possession  of all of the  Collateral  at such place as may be  specified by the
Lender. The Lender may take such steps as it considers necessary or desirable to
obtain  possession  of all or any part of the  Collateral  and, to that end, the
Grantor  agrees that the Lender,  its servants or agents or Receiver may, at any
time,  during  the day or  night,  enter  upon  lands  and  premises  where  the
Collateral may be found for the purpose of taking  possession of and/or removing
the Collateral or any part thereof. In the event of the Lender taking possession
of the  Collateral,  or any part  thereof,  the  Lender  shall have the right to
maintain the same upon the premises on which the Collateral may then be situate.
The Lender may, in a reasonable manner, take such action or do such things as to
render any Equipment unusable.

6.2. Power of Sale

The  Lender  may  sell,  lease or  otherwise  dispose  of all or any part of the
Collateral, as a whole or in separate parcels, by public auction, private tender
or by private contract,  with or without notice, except as otherwise required by
applicable law, with or without advertising and without any other formality, all
of which are hereby waived by the Grantor. Such sale, lease or disposition shall
be on such terms and  conditions  as to credit and  otherwise and as to upset or
reserve  bid or  price  as to the  Lender,  in its  sole  discretion,  may  seem
advantageous.  If such sale,  transfer or  disposition is made on credit or part
cash and part credit,  the Lender need only credit against the  Liabilities  the
actual cash received at the time of the sale.  Any payments made pursuant to any
credit granted at the time of the sale shall be credited against the Liabilities
as they are received.  The Lender may buy in or rescind or vary any contract for
sale of all or any of the Collateral and may resell without being answerable for
any loss occasioned thereby.  Any such sale, lease or disposition may take place
whether or not the Lender has taken  possession  of the  Collateral.  The Lender
may,  before any such  sale,  lease or  disposition,  perform  any  commercially
reasonable  repair,  processing or preparation for disposition and the amount so
paid or expended  shall be deemed  advanced to the Grantor by the Lender,  shall
become part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear  interest  at the highest  rate per
annum charged by the Lender on the  Liabilities or any part thereof and shall be
secured by this Security Agreement.

6.3. Validity of Sale

No person  dealing  with the Lender or its servants or agents shall be concerned
to inquire  whether the  security  hereby  constituted  has become  enforceable,
whether  the powers  that the  Lender is

<PAGE>

purporting to exercise have become exercisable, whether any money remains due on
the  security  of the  Collateral,  as to the  necessity  or  expedience  of the
stipulations  and  conditions  subject to which any sale,  lease or  disposition
shall be made,  otherwise as to the  propriety or  regularity of any sale or any
other dealing by the Lender with the Collateral or to see to the  application of
any  money  paid to the  Lender.  In the  absence  of  fraud on the part of such
persons,  such  dealings  shall be  deemed,  so far as  regards  the  safety and
protection of such person,  to be within the powers  hereby  conferred and to be
valid and effective accordingly.

6.4. Receiver-Manager

The  Lender  may,  in  addition  to any other  rights it may  have,  appoint  by
instrument  in writing a receiver  or receiver  and  manager  (both of which are
herein  called  a  "Receiver")  of all  or any  part  of the  Collateral  or may
institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of such a Receiver.  Any such  Receiver is hereby  given and shall have the same
powers and rights and exclusions and  limitations of liability as the Lender has
under this  Security  Agreement,  at law or in equity.  In  exercising  any such
powers,  any such Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law, act as and for
all purposes shall be deemed to be the agent of the Grantor and the Lender shall
not be responsible  for any act or default of any such Receiver.  The Lender may
appoint  one or more  Receivers  hereunder  and may remove any such  Receiver or
Receivers and appoint another or others in his or their stead from time to time.
Any Receiver so appointed  may be an officer or employee of the Lender.  A court
need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Lender of or otherwise supervise
in any manner the actions of any  Receiver.  Upon the Grantor  receiving  notice
from the Lender of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the appointment
of a  Receiver,  all powers,  functions,  rights and  privileges  of each of the
directors  and  officers of the Grantor  with  respect to the  Collateral  shall
cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Lender.

6.5. Carrying on Business

The Lender may carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, all or any part of the
business or  undertaking  of the Grantor,  may, to the  exclusion of all others,
including  the Grantor,  enter upon,  occupy and use all or any of the premises,
buildings,  plant and  undertaking of or occupied or used by the Grantor and may
use all or any of the tools, machinery, equipment and intangibles of the Grantor
for such time as the Lender sees fit,  free of charge,  to carry on the business
of the Grantor and, if applicable, to manufacture or complete the manufacture of
any Inventory and to pack and ship the finished product.

6.6. Dealing with Collateral

The Lender may seize, collect,  realize,  dispose of, enforce,  release to third
parties  or  otherwise  deal with the  Collateral  or any part  thereof  in such
manner,  upon such terms and conditions and at such time or times as may seem to
it  advisable,  all of which without  notice to the Grantor  except as otherwise
required by any applicable  law. The Lender may demand,  sue for and receive any
Accounts with or without notice to the Grantor,  give such receipts,  discharges
and  extensions  of time and make such  compromises  in respect of any  Accounts
which may, in the Lender's absolute discretion, seem bad or doubtful. The Lender
may  charge on its own behalf  and pay to  others,  sums for costs and  expenses
incurred including,  without limitation,  legal fees

<PAGE>

and  expenses  on a  solicitor  and his own  client  scale  and  Receivers'  and
accounting  fees,  in or in  connection  with  seizing,  collecting,  realizing,
disposing,  enforcing or otherwise dealing with the Collateral and in connection
with the  protection  and  enforcement  of the  rights of the  Lender  hereunder
including,  without limitation, in connection with advice with respect to any of
the foregoing.  The amount of such sums shall be deemed  advanced to the Grantor
by the Lender, shall become part of the Liabilities,  shall bear interest at the
highest  rate per annum  charged  by the Lender on the  Liabilities  or any part
thereof and shall be secured by this Security Agreement.

6.7. Retention of Collateral

Upon notice to the Grantor  and subject to any  obligation  to dispose of any of
the  Collateral,  as provided in the PPSA, the Lender may elect to retain all or
any part of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Liabilities or any of them.

6.8. Pay Encumbrances

The Lender may pay any Encumbrance  that may exist or be threatened  against the
Collateral.   In  addition,  the  Lender  may  borrow  money  required  for  the
maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral or for the carrying on
of the business or  undertaking  of the Grantor and may grant  further  security
interests in the Collateral in priority to the security  interest created hereby
as security for the money so borrowed. In every such case the amounts so paid or
borrowed  together  with costs,  charges  and  expenses  incurred in  connection
therewith  shall be deemed to have been  advanced  to the Grantor by the Lender,
shall become part of the  Liabilities,  shall bear  interest at the highest rate
per annum charged by the Lender on the Liabilities or any part thereof and shall
be secured by this Security Agreement.

6.9. Application of Payments Against Liabilities

Any and all payments  made in respect of the  Liabilities  from time to time and
moneys  realized on the  Collateral  may be applied to such part or parts of the
Liabilities  as the Lender may see fit. The Lender shall,  at all times and from
time to time, have the right to change any  appropriation as it may see fit. Any
insurance moneys received by the Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement may,
at the  option  of the  Lender,  be  applied  to  rebuilding  or  repairing  the
Collateral  or be  applied  against  the  Liabilities  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of this Section.

6.10. Set-Off

The  Liabilities  will be paid by the  Grantor  without  regard to any  equities
between the Grantor and the Lender or any right of set-off or  cross-claim.  Any
indebtedness  owing by the Lender to the  Grantor  may be set off and applied by
the  Lender  against  the  Liabilities  at any time or from time to time  either
before or after maturity, without demand upon or notice to anyone.

6.11. Deficiency

If the proceeds of the  realization of the Collateral are  insufficient to repay
the Lender all moneys due to it, the Grantor shall  forthwith pay or cause to be
paid to the Lender such deficiency.

<PAGE>

6.12. Lender Not Liable

The Lender shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to seize, collect,
realize, dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with the Collateral, shall not be
bound to  institute  proceedings  for any such  purposes  or for the  purpose of
preserving  any rights of the Lender,  the Grantor or any other person,  firm or
corporation  in respect of the Collateral and shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss, cost or damage  whatsoever  which may arise in respect of any such
failure  including,  without  limitation,  resulting  from the negligence of the
Lender  or  any  of  its  officers,  servants,  agents,  solicitors,  attorneys,
Receivers or otherwise. Neither the Lender nor its officers, servants, agents or
Receivers  shall be  liable  by  reason  of any  entry  into  possession  of the
Collateral or any part  thereof,  to account as a mortgagee in  possession,  for
anything except actual  receipts,  for any loss on  realization,  for any act or
omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable, for any negligence
in the carrying on or occupation of the business or  undertaking  of the Grantor
as provided in Section 6.5 or for any loss, cost,  damage or expense  whatsoever
which may arise in respect of any such actions, omissions or negligence.

6.13. Extensions of Time

The Lender may grant renewals,  extensions of time and other  indulgences,  take
and give up securities,  accept  compositions,  grant  releases and  discharges,
perfect or fail to perfect any securities, release any part of the Collateral to
third  parties and otherwise  deal or fail to deal with the Grantor,  debtors of
the Grantor,  Guarantors,  sureties and others and with the Collateral and other
securities as the Lender may see fit, all without  prejudice to the liability of
the Grantor to the Lender or the Lenders  rights and powers under this  Security
Agreement.

6.14. Rights in Addition

The rights and powers  conferred by this Section 6 are in  supplement  of and in
addition to and not in  substitution  for any other  rights or powers the Lender
may have from time to time under this  Security  Agreement  or under  applicable
law.  The  Lender  may  proceed  by way of any  action,  suit,  remedy  or other
proceeding  at law or in equity and no such  remedy for the  enforcement  of the
rights of the  Lender  shall be  exclusive  of or  dependent  on any other  such
remedy.  Any one or more of such  remedies  may from  time to time be  exercised
separately or in combination.

SECTION 7 - DEALING WITH COLLATERAL BY THE GRANTOR

7.1. Sale of Inventory

Prior to the occurrence of a Default, the Grantor may, in the ordinary course of
its business and on customary trade terms, lease or sell items of inventory,  so
that the  purchaser  thereof takes title clear of the security  interest  hereby
created.  If such sale or lease  results in an Account,  such  Account  shall be
subject to the security interest hereby created.

<PAGE>

SECTION 8 - GENERAL

8.1. Security in Addition

The security hereby  constituted is not in  substitution  for any other security
for the  Liabilities or for any other agreement  between the parties  creating a
security  interest  in all or  part of the  Collateral,  whether  heretofore  or
hereafter  made,  and such  security and such  agreements  shall be deemed to be
continued and not affected hereby unless  expressly  provided to the contrary in
writing  and signed by the Lender and the  Grantor.  The taking of any action or
proceedings  or  refraining  from so doing,  or any other dealing with any other
security for the  Liabilities  or any part thereof,  shall not release or affect
the security  interest created by this Security  Agreement and the taking of the
security   interest  hereby  created  or  any  proceedings   hereunder  for  the
realization of the security  interest hereby created shall not release or affect
any other security held by the Lender for the repayment of or performance of the
Liabilities.

8.2. Waiver

Any waiver of a breach by the Grantor of any of the terms or  provisions of this
Security  Agreement or of a Default  under  Section 5.1 must be in writing to be
effective against and bind the Lender. No such waiver by the Lender shall extend
to or be taken in any manner to affect any  subsequent  breach or Default or the
rights of the Lender arising therefrom.

8.3. Further Assurances

The Grantor shall at all times do, execute,  acknowledge and deliver or cause to
be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all and singular every such further
acts,  deeds,  conveyances,   instruments,   transfers,   assignments,  security
agreements and assurances as the Lender may reasonably  require in order to give
effect to the  provisions  and purposes of this  Security  Agreement  including,
without limitation,  in respect of the Lender's  enforcement of the security and
its realization on the Collateral,  and for the better  granting,  transferring,
assigning,  charging,  setting over, assuring,  confirming and/or perfecting the
security  interest of the Lender in the  Collateral  pursuant  to this  Security
Agreement.  The Grantor  hereby  constitutes  and appoints the Manager or acting
Manager of the Lender at its above  address,  or any  Receiver  appointed by the
Court or the Lender as  provided  herein,  the true and lawful  attorney  of the
Grantor  irrevocably with full power of substitution to do, make and execute all
such assignments,  documents,  acts, matters or things with the right to use the
name  of the  Grantor  whenever  and  wherever  it may be  deemed  necessary  or
expedient. The Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file such proofs of claim
and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to prove its claim
in any  bankruptcy,  proposed  winding-up  or other  proceeding  relating to the
Grantor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor:

     (a)  shall mark  conspicuously each chattel paper evidencing or relating to
          an  Account  and each  related  contract  and,  at the  request of the
          Lender,  each  of its  records  pertaining  to the  Collateral  with a
          legend, in form and substance  satisfactory to the Lender,  indicating
          that such chattel paper,  related contract or Collateral is subject to
          the security interests granted hereby;

<PAGE>

     (b)  shall,  if any Accounts  shall be  evidenced  by a promissory  note or
          other  instrument or chattel  paper,  deliver and pledge to the Lender
          hereunder  such note,  instrument  or chattel  paper duly endorsed and
          accompanied  by duly executed  instruments  of transfer or assignment,
          all in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender;

     (c)  shall  execute  and file such  financing  or  renewal  statements,  or
          amendments,  thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
          necessary  or  desirable,  or as the Lender may  request,  in order to
          perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be
          granted hereby;

     (d)  hereby  authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or renewal
          statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the
          Collateral  without the signature of the Grantor,  where  permitted by
          law; and

     (e)  shall furnish to the Lender from time to time statements and schedules
          further  identifying  and  describing  the  Collateral  and such other
          reports in connection  with the  Collateral as the Lender may request,
          all in reasonable detail.

8.4. No Merger

Neither the taking of any  judgment  nor the exercise of any power of seizure or
sale shall operate to extinguish the liability of the Grantor to make payment of
or satisfy the Liabilities.  The acceptance of any payment or alternate security
shall not  constitute  or create any  novation  and the taking of a judgment  or
judgments  under any of the covenants  herein  contained  shall not operate as a
merger of such covenants.

8.5. Notices

Subject to Section 8.7 hereof, any notice required to be given to the Grantor or
the Lender may be delivered to such party or a  responsible  officer  thereof or
may be sent by prepaid registered mail addressed to the appropriate party at the
address  above shown,  or such further or other address as such party may notify
to the other in writing  from time to time,  and if so given the notice shall be
deemed to have been given on the day of delivery or the day when it is deemed or
otherwise  considered to have been received for the purposes of the PPSA, as the
case may be.

8.6. Continuing Security Interest and Discharge

This  Security  Agreement  shall  create a continuing  security  interest in the
Collateral  and  shall  remain  in full  force  and  effect  until  payment  and
performance in full of the Liabilities,  notwithstanding any dealing between the
Lender and the Grantor or any  Guarantor  in respect of the  Liabilities  or any
release, exchange, non-perfection,  amendment, waiver, consent or departure from
or in respect of any or all of the terms or provision  of any security  held for
the Liabilities.

If the Grantor pays to the Lender and fully  discharges the Liabilities  secured
by this Security  Agreement  and  otherwise  observes and performs the terms and
conditions  hereof,  then the Lender  shall at the request and at the expense of
the Grantor release and discharge the security

<PAGE>

interest  created  hereby and execute and deliver to the Grantor  such deeds and
other instruments as shall be requisite therefor.

8.7. Governing Law and Waiver

The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance  with,  the laws of the  Province of Alberta and the federal  laws of
Canada  applicable  therein,  without  reference to  applicable  conflict of law
principles.  Grantor consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the  Province  of Alberta in  connection  with the  resolution  of any  disputes
relating to this Security  Agreement or any other Agreement or document executed
or delivered hereunder. Grantor irrevocably waives any objection,  including any
objection  to the laying of venue based on the grounds of forum non  conveniens,
which it may now or hereafter  have to the bringing of any action or  proceeding
with respect to this Agreement.

Grantor  hereby  waives  personal  service  of any and all  process  upon it and
consents tat all such service of process may be made by registered  mail (return
receipt  requested)  directed to the Grantor and service so made shall be deemed
to be  completed  five (5) days after the same shall have been  mailed.  Nothing
contained  herein shall affect the right of lender to serve legal process by any
other manner permitted by law.

The parties  hereto  hereby waive trial by jury (if  applicable)  in any action,
proceeding,  claim or  counterclaim,  whether in contract or tort,  at law or in
equity with  respect to, in  connection  with,  or arising out of this  Security
Agreement,  other financing agreements,  the obligations of Grantor and Grantor,
the collateral,  or any  instrument,  document or guarantee  delivered  pursuant
hereto or to any of the foregoing, or the validity, protection,  interpretation,
administration,  collection or enforcement hereof or thereof, or any other claim
or dispute  hereunder  or  thereunder.  Grantor  agrees  that it will not assert
against lender any claim for  consequential,  incidental,  special,  or punitive
damages  in  connection  with  this  Security   Agreement  or  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby or thereby.  No officer of lender has  authority  to waive,
condition, or modify this provision.

8.8. Security Interest Effective Immediately

Neither the  execution  nor  registration  of this  Security  Agreement  nor any
partial  advances  by the Lender  shall  bind the  Lender to  advance  any other
amounts to the Grantor.  The parties intend the security interest created hereby
to attach and take effect forthwith upon execution of this Security Agreement by
the Grantor and the Grantor  acknowledges that value has been given and that the
Grantor has rights in the Collateral.

8.9. No Collateral Warranties

There is no  representation,  warranty or collateral  agreement  affecting  this
Security Agreement or the Collateral, other than as expressed herein in writing.

8.10. Joint and Several Liability

If more than one person  executes  this  Security  Agreement  as Grantor,  their
obligations under this Security Agreement shall be joint and several.

<PAGE>

8.11. Provisions Reasonable

The  Grantor  expressly  acknowledges  and agrees  that the  provisions  of this
Security Agreement and, in particular,  those respecting  remedies and powers of
the Lender against the Grantor,  its business and the  Collateral  upon default,
are commercially reasonable and not manifestly unreasonable.

8.12. Number and Gender

In this Security  Agreement,  words  importing the singular  number  include the
plural and vice-versa and words importing gender include all genders.

8.13. Invalidity

In the event that any term or provision of this Security Agreement shall, to any
extent, be invalid or unenforceable,  the remaining terms and provisions of this
Security   Agreement  shall  be  unaffected  thereby  and  shall  be  valid  and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.14. Indemnity and Expenses

     (a)  The Grantor  agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Lender from and
          against any and all claims,  losses and  liabilities  rising out of or
          resulting out of or resulting from this Security Agreement (including,
          without limitation,  enforcement of this Security  Agreement),  except
          claims,  losses  or  liabilities  resulting  from the  Lender's  gross
          negligence or willful misconduct.

     (b)  The  Grantor  will upon demand pay to the Lender the amount of any and
          all   reasonable   expenses,   including  the   reasonable   fees  and
          disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents,  which the
          Lender may incur in  connection  with (i) the  administration  of this

hereunder, it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in
which it is due (the  "Original  Currency")  into another  currency (the "Second
Currency"),  the rate of exchange  applied shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal  banking  procedures,  the Lender  could  purchase,  in The New York
Foreign Exchange Market,  the Original  Currency with the Second Currency on the
date two (2)  Business  Days  preceding  that on which  judgment is given or any
other payment is due hereunder. The undersigned and each of them agrees that its
obligation  in  respect  of any  Original  Currency  due  from it to the  Lender

Currency so  purchased  or could have been so  purchased is less than the amount
originally due in the Original Currency, the undersigned and each of them agrees
as a separate  obligation  and  notwithstanding  any such payment or judgment to
indemnify  the Lender  against  such loss.  The term "rate of  exchange" in this
Section 8.15 means the spot rate at which the Lender,  in accordance with normal
practices is able on the relevant  date to purchase the Original  Currency  with
the Second  Currency and  includes any premium and costs of exchange  payable in
connection with such purchase.

     otherwise  dispose of or  contract  to dispose of the  Securities  by sale,
     transfer or delivery,  or (ii) exercise and enforce all rights and remedies
     of a holder of the  Securities as if Oak Street were their  absolute  owner
     (including,  if necessary,  causing the  Securities to be registered in the
     name of Oak Street or its nominee),  all without  demand of  performance or
     other demand,  advertisement or notice of any kind to or upon the Guarantor
     or any third party  (except as may be  required by law).  Any remedy may be

(e)  Securities  may be disposed of in any manner and on any terms  necessary to
     avoid   violation  of  applicable  law  (including,   without   limitation,
     compliance  with such  procedures as may restrict the number of prospective
     bidders and purchasers, require that the prospective bidders and purchasers
     have  certain  qualifications,  and restrict  the  prospective  bidders and
     purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
     for  their  own  account  for  investment  and  not  with  a  view  to  the
     distribution  or  resale  of the  Securities)  or in  order to  obtain  any
     required approval of the disposition (or of the resulting  purchase) by any
     governmental or regulatory authority or official;

     the Securities in such manner as Oak Street may consider desirable.

(b)  Oak  Street may grant  extensions  or other  indulgences,  take and give up
     security, accept compositions,  grant releases and discharges and otherwise
     deal with the Guarantor and with other persons,  sureties or security as it
     may see fit without  prejudice  to the  Obligations,  the  liability of the
     Guarantor or the rights of Oak Street in respect of the Securities.

(c)  Oak  Street  shall not be (i)  liable or  accountable  for any  failure  to
     collect, realize or obtain payment in respect of the Securities, (ii) bound
     to  institute  proceedings  for  the  purpose  of  collecting,   enforcing,
     realizing  or  obtaining  payment of the  Securities  or for the purpose of

     occasioned  by any sale or other  dealing  with  the  Securities  or by the
     retention of or failure to sell or

     Street may deem  necessary or advisable to accomplish  the purposes of this
     Securities  Pledge  Agreement  including  the  execution,  endorsement  and
     delivery  and transfer of the  Securities  to Oak Street or its nominees or
     transferees.  Oak Street or its nominees and  transferees  are empowered to
     exercise  all rights and powers and to perform all acts of  ownership  with
     respect to the Securities to the same extent as the Guarantor might do. The
     powers  of  attorney   herein  granted  is  an  addition  to,  and  not  in
     substitution for any stock power of attorney delivered by the Guarantor and
     such power of  attorney  may be relied upon by Oak Street  severally  or in
     combination. All acts of the attorney are hereby ratified and approved, and
     the attorney  shall not be liable for any act,  failure to act or any other
     matter or thing in connection therewith, except to the extent caused by its
     own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.5  Dealings by Third Parties. No person dealing with Oak Street or an agent or
     receiver  shall be required to determine (i) whether the Security  Interest

     remains  due  to Oak  Street  by  the  Guarantor,  (iv)  the  necessity  or
     expediency of the stipulations and conditions  subject to which any sale or

     Oak Street has been applied.

(a)  Any  purchaser  of  Securities  from Oak Street  shall hold the  Securities
     absolutely,  free from any claim or right of whatever  kind,  including any
     equity of redemption,  of the Guarantor,  which it specifically  waives (to
     the fullest  extent  permitted by law) as against any such  purchaser,  all
     rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Guarantor has or may have
     under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

                                   ARTICLE IV

     Interest.

4.3  Further  Assurances.  The Guarantor shall from time to time, whether before
     or after the  occurrence  of a Default,  do all acts and things and execute
     and deliver all transfers,  assignments  and  instruments as Oak Street may

     other disposition of the Securities in connection with their realization.

4.4  Supplemental  Security.  This Securities Pledge Agreement is in addition to
     and without prejudice to all other security now held or which may hereafter

     are  otherwise  incapable  of  being  construed  in  conjunction  with  the
     provisions of the  Agreement,  the  provisions of the Agreement  shall take
     precedence over those contained in this agreement and in particular, if any
     act of the  Guarantor is expressly  permitted  under the  Agreement  but is
     prohibited  hereunder,  any such act shall be deemed to be permitted  under
     this agreement.

4.8  Governing Law. This  Securities  Pledge  Agreement shall be governed by and
     interpreted  and  enforced in  accordance  with the laws of the Province of
     Alberta and the federal laws of Canada  applicable  therein.  The Guarantor
     consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of
     Alberta in connection with the resolution of any disputes  relating to this
     Security Pledge  Agreement or any other  Agreement or document  executed or
     delivered  hereunder.  The  Guarantor  irrevocably  waives  any  objection,

     forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of
     any action or proceeding with respect to this Securities Pledge Agreement.

3.00 - CONSIDERATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

3.01 Subject to the terms and  conditions of this  Agreement,  the Vendor hereby
     sells, assigns and transfers to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby buys
     from  the  Vendor  the  Purchased  Assets  for the  aggregate  sum of:  (1)
     $5,171,173.00 (which sum represents 80% of the Purchase Price),  subject to
     Adjustment  as set  out in  paragraph  3.04;  PLUS  (2)  that  amount  (the
     "Remaining  Balance  of the  Purchase  Price")  as shall be  determined  in
     accordance with the terms of paragraph 3.05 herein;  (both amounts together
     are referred to herein collectively as the "Purchase Price")

3.02 For all purposes  (including  federal and state income tax  purposes),  the
     parties agree to allocate the aggregate of the Purchase  Price (as adjusted
     pursuant to the First  Adjustment or the Second  Adjustment -  collectively
     referred  to herein as the  "Adjustment")  among  the  Purchased  Assets as
     follows (the "Allocation"): (i) $103,423.50 shall be allocated to the Fixed
     Assets owned by DKWS and listed on Schedule "B"; (ii) $103,423.50  shall be
     allocated  equally to the  covenants of DKWS,  JWK, TK and the Trust as set
     forth in the

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Non-Competition   Agreements   attached  as  Schedule  "F"  hereto;   (iii)
     $2,482,163.00  shall be allocated to the Goodwill,  and (iv)  $2,482,163.00
     shall be allocated to the Purchased Book of Business. Each of Purchaser and
     Vendor shall file, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended (the "Code"), an Asset Acquisition  Statement on Form 8594 with its
     federal  income  tax  return  for the tax year in which  the  Closing  Date
     occurs, and shall contemporaneously  provide the other party with a copy of
     the Form 8594  being  filed.  The Form 8594  shall be  consistent  with the
     Allocation.  Each of  Purchaser  and Vendor also shall file any  additional
     Forms 8594 from time to time as are required to reflect any  Adjustment  to
     the  Purchase  Price  as  required  hereunder  or  any  alteration  in  the
     allocation   required  by  the   Purchaser's   auditor,   and  again  shall
     contemporaneously  provide  the other  party with a copy of the  additional
     Form 8594 being filed.  If there is an  Adjustment  in the  Purchase  Price
     resulting  from the  application  of Article 3.00 hereof,  then the amounts
     allocated  to Goodwill  and the  Purchased  Book of Business  shall each be
     reduced by an equal  amount  corresponding  to one half of the  Adjustment.
     Once the amount of the  Remaining  Balance of the  Purchase  Price has been
     determined  then the parties  hereto agree to allocate such amount  equally
     between  Goodwill and the Purchased Book of Business.  The final version of
     each  additional  Form 8594 as agreed to by  Purchaser  and Vendor shall be
     timely filed by each of Purchaser and Vendor. All indemnification  payments
     made pursuant to Article 6.00 hereof shall be treated as adjustments to the
     Purchase Price.

3.03 The Purchase Price shall be subject to Adjustment (as more particularly set
     forth in this Article 3.00) and be paid as follows:
     (a)  a down  payment on the Closing Date in the sum of  $1,656,173.00  (the
          "Down Payment") which shall be disbursed and distributed as follows;
          (i)  $103,423.50  shall be disbursed to DKWS or to the account of DKWS
               in full and final  payment for the Fixed Assets and, this sum (or
               such part  thereof  as is  necessary)  shall be  applied  by DKWS
               towards  the  liabilities  of DKWS as set forth on  Schedule  "S"
               attached  hereto  (the "DKWS  Liabilities")  and any other  trust
               account deficiencies of DKWS existing as at the Closing Date;
          (ii) $25,855.88  shall be  disbursed to DKWS or to the account of DKWS
               in full and final payment for the Non-Competition  Agreement and,
               this sum (or such part thereof as is necessary)  shall be applied
               by DKWS towards the DKWS  Liabilities and any other trust account
               deficiencies of DKWS existing as at the Closing Date;
          (iii)$396,173.00  shall be  disbursed  to DKWS on  behalf of the Trust
               (as a partial  payment for the  Purchased  Assets  excluding  the
               Fixed  Assets) and, this sum shall be applied by DKWS towards the
               DKWS Liabilities and any other trust account deficiencies of DKWS
               existing as at the Closing Date;
          (iv) $25,855.88  shall be  disbursed to the Trust or to the account of
               the  Trust  in full and  final  payment  for the  Non-Competition
               Agreement;
          (v)  $728,153.00  shall be disbursed to the Trust or to the account of
               the Trust as a partial payment for the Purchased Assets excluding
               the Fixed Assets;
          (vi) $25,855.88  shall be disbursed to JWK or to the account of JWK in
               full and final payment for the Non-Competition Agreement;
          (vii)$25,855.88  shall be  disbursed  to TK or to the account of TK in
               full and final

                                       10
<PAGE>

               payment for the Non-Competition Agreement; and
          (viii) $325,000.00 shall be disbursed to GVC Financial  Services,  LLC
               ("GVC") on behalf of the Vendor;
     (b)  on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Agent with
          a promissory note (the  "Promissory  Note"),  attached as Schedule "O"
          hereto,  drawn in favour  of the  Vendor  in the  principal  amount of
          $3,515,000.00 (the "Principal  Amount").  The Promissory Note shall be
          held by the Escrow Agent and dealt with in  accordance  with the terms
          of paragraph  3.04 and the Escrow  Agreement  attached as Schedule "L"
          hereto.
     (c)  on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Agent with
          a promissory note (the "Final Note"), attached as Schedule "Q" hereto,
          drawn in favour of the Vendor in the with the principal amount left in
          blank. The Final Note shall be held by the Escrow Agent and dealt with
          in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  paragraph  3.05  and the  Escrow
          Agreement .

3.04 The  Promissory  Note shall be dealt with in accordance  with the following
     terms:
     (a)  within 5 days of the end of the 14th month after the Closing Date, the
          Purchaser  shall prepare a Purchase Price  reconciliation  to show the
          actual  Commissions  Earned from the  Business.  If the actual  Earned
          Commission  revenue from the Business for the one year period from the
          Closing Date is less than $3,000,000.00,  then the Purchase Price will
          be adjusted downward in accordance with the following formula:
               (Earned  Commissions x 2.155 x 0.8) -  $5,171,173.00 = the "First
               Adjustment"
          if after the application of the formula the First  Adjustment  results
          in a negative number, then the Purchase Price and the Principal Amount
          of the  Promissory  Note shall be  reduced by an amount  equal to that
          negative  number.  For  greater  clarification,  the First  Adjustment
          cannot have the effect of  increasing  the Purchase  Price,  the First
          Adjustment can only lower the Purchase Price;
     (b)  if after the First Adjustment is determined,  there is no reduction in
          the  Purchase  Price,  then  there  shall  be no  changes  made to the
          Promissory Note by the Escrow Agent;
     (c)  if after the First  Adjustment is determined,  there is a reduction in
          the Purchase  Price,  then the Escrow Agent shall amend the Promissory
          Note by reducing the Principal  Amount (and, after taking into account
          any and all sums paid to The Trust pursuant to the Promissory  Note up
          to and including the date of the First  Adjustment,  any  amortization
          schedules  related  thereto) by the amount of the First  Adjustment as
          determined in accordance with paragraph 3.04(a);
     (d)  the First  Adjustments to be made pursuant to this paragraph  shall be
          made within 15 months of the Closing Date;
     (e)  within 5 days of the end of the 26th month after the Closing Date, the
          Purchaser  shall prepare a Purchase Price  reconciliation  to show the
          actual revenues (the "Revenues")  received by the Purchaser from those
          joint  venture  agencies  set forth on  Schedule  "M"over  the  period
          beginning on October 1st, 2004 and ending on September 30th, 2005 (the
          "JV Period"). If it is determined that the Revenues over the JV Period
          is less than the sum of  $115,000.00,  then the Purchase Price will be
          adjusted downward in accordance with the following formula:

                                       11
<PAGE>

               ($115,000.00  - Revenues  over the JV Period) x 2.155 x 0.8 = the
               "Second Adjustment"
          if after the application of the formula the Second Adjustment  results
          in a positive number, then the Purchase Price and the Principal Amount
          of the  Promissory  Note shall be  reduced by an amount  equal to that
          positive  number.  For greater  clarification,  the Second  Adjustment
          cannot have the effect of increasing  the Purchase  Price,  the Second
          Adjustment can only lower the Purchase Price;
     (f)  if after the Second Adjustment is determined, there is no reduction in
          the  Purchase  Price,  then  there  shall  be no  changes  made to the
          Promissory Note by the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent shall deliver
          the Promissory Note to the Trust;
     (g)  if after the Second Adjustment is determined,  there is a reduction in
          the Purchase  Price,  then the Escrow Agent shall amend the Promissory
          Note by reducing the Principal  Amount (and, after taking into account
          any and all sums paid to the Trust pursuant to the Promissory  Note up
          to and including the date of the Second  Adjustment,  any amortization
          schedules  related thereto) by the amount of the Second  Adjustment as
          determined in accordance  with  paragraph  3.04(e) and once done shall
          deliver the amended Promissory Note to the Trust;
     (h)  the Second  Adjustment to be made pursuant to this paragraph  shall be
          made within 27 months of the Closing Date; and
     (i)  the Parties  agree that the Revenues over the JV Period and the Earned
          Commission  revenue from the Business shall be calculated on a pre-tax
          basis.

3.05 The Final Note shall be dealt with in accordance with the following terms:

     (a)  within 60 days of the end of the  September  30, 2008,  the  Purchaser
          shall prepare a Purchase Price  reconciliation (the  "Reconciliation")
          to show the  actual  Commissions  Earned  from the  Business  over the
          period  beginning on October 1st,  2007 and ending on September  30th,
          2008 (the  "Period"),  and shall  deliver  the  Reconciliation  to the
          Escrow Agent and The Trust;
     (b)  once the Earned  Commission for the Period has been  determined,  then
          the  Remaining  Balance of the Purchase  Price shall be  calculated in
          accordance with the following formula:
               Earned  Commissions  for the Period x 2.00 x 0.2 = the  Remaining
               Balance of the Purchase Price;
     (c)  after the Remaining Balance of the Purchase Price has been determined,
          the Escrow Agent shall  complete the Final Note  (attached as Schedule
          "Q"  hereto) by  filling in the  principal  amount  thereof  with such
          number as is equal to the Remaining  Balance of the Purchase Price and
          attaching the appropriate amortization schedule thereto and once done,
          the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the Final Note to The Trust; and
     (d)  the  Parties  agree that  Earned  Commission  for the Period  shall be
          calculated on a pre-tax basis.

3.06 In order to secure the payments to be made to the Trust in accordance  with
     the terms of the Promissory  Note and the Final Note, the Purchaser  agrees
     to grant to the Trust a security  interest  in the assets of the  Purchaser
     and to provide the Trust with a General  Security  Agreement  (attached  as
     Schedule "U" hereto) in respect of those assets (the "Security").

                                       12
<PAGE>

3.07 The Trust hereby  covenants and agrees with the Purchaser  that any and all
     payments due, any and all obligations  owing and any and all Security taken
     or  granted  pursuant  to the  Promissory  Note and the Final Note shall be
     subordinate  to any and all  senior  debt  financing,  whether  present  or
     future,  which has been or may be obtained by the  Purchaser  now or at any
     time  into  the  future,   and  the  Trust  hereby   agrees  to  execute  a
     Subordination  Agreement and Power of Attorney (attached hereto as Schedule
     "R) in order to give effect to this paragraph.

3.08 The Trust may, from time to time and during normal business hours, employ a
     professionally qualified independent third party auditor (acceptable to the
     Purchaser) to audit the books and records of the Purchaser  which relate to
     the Business and Purchased Assets in order to verify the amounts of:
     a)   the First Adjustment;
     b)   the Second Adjustment;
     c)   the Remaining Balance of the Purchase Price; and
     d)   the  payments  (and the  timing  thereof)  to be made to the  Trust in
          accordance with the Promissory Note or the Final Note;
     If the audit discloses a discrepancy unfavourable to the Trust in the First
     Adjustment,  the Second Adjustment or the Remaining Balance of the Purchase
     Price of three per cent (3%) or more, then the Purchaser shall promptly pay
     for the cost of the  audit  and  shall  make or cause to be made all of the
     necessary  adjustments  as disclosed in the audit to the First  Adjustment,
     the Second Adjustment or the Remaining Balance of the Purchase Price as the
     case may be. If the audit  discloses a discrepancy  in the payments (or the
     timing thereof) to be made to the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
     Promissory  Note or the Final Note,  then the Purchaser  shall promptly pay
     for the cost of the audit and shall forthwith bring all of the payments due
     under the Promissory  Note or the Final Note up to date in accordance  with
     the  results of the audit and the terms of the  Promissory  Note and/or the
     Final  Note (as the case may be).  If the  audit  discloses  a  discrepancy
     unfavourable to the Trust in the First Adjustment, the Second Adjustment or
     the  Remaining  Balance of the  Purchase  Price of less than three per cent
     (3%) or if the audit does not  disclose a  discrepancy  in the payments (or
     the timing thereof) to be made to the Trust in accordance with the terms of
     the Promissory  Note or the Final Note, then the Trust shall be responsible
     for the costs of the audit.

3.09 All  rights of  Adjustment  and set off set  forth in  Article  3.00  shall
     survive the completion of this Agreement.

4.00 - REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

4.01 Subject to the fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent set out in paragraphs
     7.01(k) and 7.02,  the Purchaser  represents  and warrants to the Vendor as
     follows:

     (a)  Purchaser is a corporation  organized  and in good standing  under the
          laws  of  Delaware,  and  its  status  is  active.  Purchaser  has all
          requisite corporate power and

                                       13
<PAGE>

          authority and all necessary  governmental approvals to own, lease, and
          operate  its  properties  and to carry on its  business  as now  being
          conducted and as proposed to be conducted. Purchaser is duly qualified
          or  licensed  to  do  business  and  is  in  good   standing  in  each
          jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased, or operated by it or
          the  nature  of the  business  conducted  by it or as  proposed  to be
          conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary;
     (b)  Purchaser has the requisite  corporate  power and authority to execute
          and  deliver  this  Agreement  and  to  consummate  the   transactions
          contemplated hereby. The execution,  delivery, and performance of this
          Agreement,  and  the  consummation  of the  Agreement  and  the  other
          transactions  contemplated  hereby,  have been duly  authorized by all
          necessary  corporate  action on the part of Purchaser.  This Agreement
          has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser,  and, assuming this
          Agreement  constitutes  a valid  and  binding  obligation  of  Vendor,
          constitutes a valid and binding  obligation of Purchaser,  enforceable
          against  it in  accordance  with  its  terms,  subject  to  applicable
          bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or similar laws from time to
          time in effect which offset  creditors'  rights  generally and general
          equitable   principles   (regardless   of   whether   the   issue   of
          enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or in law);
     (c)  Neither the execution,  delivery,  or performance of this Agreement by
          Purchaser  nor  the  consummation  by  Purchaser  of the  transactions
          contemplated  hereby  nor  compliance  by  Purchaser  with  any of the
          provisions  hereof will (a)  conflict  with or result in any breach of
          any  provision  of the  Articles  of  Incorporation  or the  Bylaws of
          Purchaser, (b) require any filing with, or authorization,  consent, or
          approval of, any Governmental  Authority except for necessary  reports
          and other filings in accordance  with the terms of paragraph 7.02, (c)
          result in a violation  or breach of, or  constitute  a default  under,
          result  in the  acceleration  of,  create  in any  party  the right to
          accelerate,  terminate,  modify or cancel,  or  require  any notice or
          consent any of the terms,  conditions,  or provisions of any agreement
          or other  instrument or obligation to which Purchaser is a party or by
          which Purchaser or its properties or assets may be bound;
     (d)  There is no suit, claim, action,  proceeding, or investigation pending
          or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Purchaser or its
          affiliates before any Governmental Authority that is reasonably likely
          to have a  material  adverse  effect  on  Purchaser  or would  prevent
          Purchaser from  consummating  the  transactions  contemplated  by this
          Agreement.  Purchaser is not subject to any outstanding  order,  writ,
          injunction  or decree which,  insofar as can be  reasonably  foreseen,
          individually or in the aggregate,  in the future would have a material
          adverse   effect  on  Purchaser  or  would  prevent   Purchaser   from
          consummating the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  No voluntary or
          involuntary  petition  in  bankruptcy,  receivership,   insolvency  or
          reorganization  with  respect to  Purchaser,  or petition to appoint a
          receiver  or trustee  of  Purchaser's  property,  has been filed by or
          against  Purchaser,  nor shall Purchaser file such a petition prior to
          the Closing Date or for one hundred (100) days thereafter, and if such
          petition is filed by others,  the same shall be  promptly  discharged.
          Purchaser has not made any  assignment for the benefit of creditors or
          admitted in writing  insolvency or that its property at fair valuation
          shall not be sufficient to pay its debts; and

     (e)  None  of  the   representations  and  warranties  set  forth  in  this
          Agreement,   notwithstanding  any  investigation  thereof  by  Vendor,
          contains  any  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact,  or omits  the
          statement of any material fact necessary to render the statements made
          not materially misleading.

4.02 The Trust,  DKWS,  JWK and TK,  jointly and  severally,  hereby  represent,
     warrant and covenant to the Purchaser and acknowledge that the Purchaser is
     relying on such  representations,  warranties  and  covenants in connection
     with its purchase of the Purchased Assets, that:
     (a)  The Trust owns and holds all of the outstanding  shares of the capital
          stock of DKWS and there are no outstanding warrants, options or rights
          to acquire additional shares of the capital stock of DKWS;
     (a)  The  Trust is a trust  formed  pursuant  to the  laws of the  State of
          California on July 2nd, 1998, and JWK and TK are the only trustees and
          beneficiaries of the Trust;
     (a)  Attached  as  Schedule  "E"  hereto  are  the  following  consolidated
          financial    statements   of   DKWS   (collectively   the   "Financial
          Statements"):   (a)   unaudited   consolidated   balance   sheet   and
          consolidated  statements of income and changes in shareholders' equity
          as of and for the 3 months  ended on December  31, 2001 and the fiscal
          years ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2002 (the "Most Recent
          Fiscal Year End");  and (b) unaudited  consolidated  balance sheet and
          consolidated   statements  of  income  (the  "Most  Recent   Financial
          Statements")  as of and for the nine months ended  September  30, 2003
          (the  "Most  Recent  Fiscal  Month  End").  The  Financial  Statements
          (including the Notes thereto) have been prepared on a compilation  and
          consistent  basis  throughout  the periods  covered  thereby,  present
          fairly  the  financial   condition  of  DKWS,   including  assets  and
          liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) as of
          such dates and the results of operations of DKWS for such periods, are
          materially  correct and complete,  and are materially  consistent with
          the books and records of DKWS (which books and records are correct and
          complete);
     (a)  Except as set forth on Schedule "I" annexed hereto: (a)
          i)   Vendor has filed all Tax  Returns  that it was  required to file.
               All such Tax Returns  were  correct and  complete in all material
               respects.  All Taxes owed by Vendor  (whether or not shown on any
               Tax Return) have been paid, or Vendor has made adequate provision
               for the payment therefor. Vendor currently is not the beneficiary
               of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return.  No
               claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction  where
               Vendor does not file Tax Returns  that it is or may be subject to
               taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no security interests on
               any of the  assets of Vendor  that arose in  connection  with any
               failure (or alleged

                                       15
<PAGE>

               failure) to pay any Tax;
          ii)  Vendor  has  withheld  and paid all Taxes  required  to have been
               withheld  and paid,  if any, in  connection  with amounts paid or
               owing  to  any  employee,   independent   contractor,   creditor,
               shareholder, trustee, or other third party;
          iii) There  is  no  material  dispute  or  claim  concerning  any  Tax
               liability of Vendor either (i) claimed or raised by any authority
               in writing or (ii) as to which  Vendor has  knowledge  based upon
               personal  contact with any agent of such authority.  Schedule "I"
               annexed  hereto  lists all  federal,  state,  local,  and foreign
               income Tax  Returns  filed or to be filed with  respect to Vendor
               for  taxable  periods  ended  on  or  after  December  31,  2002,
               indicates those Tax Returns that have been audited, and indicates
               those Tax Returns that currently are the subject of audit. Vendor
               has  delivered  to Purchaser  correct and complete  copies of all
               federal income Tax Returns,  examination  reports, and statements
               of  deficiencies  assessed  against or agreed to by Vendor  since
               September 30, 2000;
          iv)  Vendor has not waived any  statute of  limitations  in respect of
               Taxes or agreed to any  extension  of time with  respect to a Tax
               assessment or deficiency;
          v)   Vendor  has  disclosed  on its  federal  income Tax  Returns  all
               positions  taken  therein  that could give rise to a  substantial
               understatement  of federal  income Tax within the meaning of Code
               Section  6662.  Vendor  is not a party to any Tax  allocation  or
               sharing  agreement.  Vendor  (i)  has  not  been a  member  of an
               affiliated  group within the meaning of Code  Section  1504(a) of
               the Code, and (ii) has not had any liability for the Taxes of any
               person or entity under United States Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6
               (or any similar provision of state,  local, or foreign law), as a
               transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise;
          vi)  The  unpaid  Taxes  of DKWS (i) did  not,  as of the Most  Recent
               Fiscal Month End,  exceed the reserve for Tax  liability  (rather
               than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing
               differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of
               the balance sheet (rather than in any notes thereto)  included in
               the Most Recent Financial  Statements and (ii) do not exceed that
               reserve as adjusted  for the passage of time  through the Closing
               Date in  accordance  with the past custom and practice of DKWS in
               filing its Tax Returns; and
          vii) The Vendor shall promptly pay the applicable  state sales and use
               taxes  imposed  with  respect  to the  sale and  transfer  of the
               Purchased  Assets  from the Vendor to the  Purchaser  pursuant to
               this Agreement. The Vendor shall prepare the sales tax return and
               submit  it to the  Purchaser  at least  seven (7)  business  days
               before its due date.  The Purchaser  shall have five (5) business
               days to approve the return,  such approval not to be unreasonably
               withheld. Failure to

                                       16
<PAGE>

               disapprove  during  such five (5)  business  day period  shall be
               deemed approval. The Vendor shall be obligated to timely file the
               return and pay the tax.  Failure by the Vendor to timely file the
               return or pay the tax due shall result in the Vendor  bearing the
               penalties  and  interest  associated  with such late  payment  or
               filing,  regardless of whether assessed against the Vendor ot the
               Purchaser by the taxing authorities.

     (e)  DKWS is a corporation organized and in good standing under the laws of
          the  State  of  California  and its  status  is  active.  DKWS has all
          requisite corporate power and authority and all necessary governmental
          approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
          business as now being conducted. DKWS is duly qualified to do business
          and is in good standing as a foreign  corporation in each jurisdiction
          where the conduct of its insurance  agency business  requires it to be
          so qualified.

     (e)  DKWS has the  requisite  corporate  power and authority to enter into,
          execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the  transactions
          contemplated  hereby. The execution,  delivery and performance of this
          Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary  corporate action
          on the part of DKWS,  the  Trustees and the Trust,  including  without
          limitation DKWS's board of directors.

     (e)  The  Trust  is in  good  standing  under  the  laws  of the  State  of
          California and its status is active. The Trust has the requisite power
          and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to
          consummate  the  transactions   contemplated  hereby.  The  execution,
          delivery and  performance of this Agreement have been duly  authorized
          by all necessary action on the part of the Trustees.

     (e)  This  Agreement  has been,  and the other  agreements,  documents  and
          instruments  required to be delivered by Vendor in accordance with the
          provisions hereof  (collectively,  the "Vendor's Documents") shall be,
          duly  executed and delivered by duly  authorized  officers or Trustees
          (as the case may be) of Vendor on behalf of Vendor, and this Agreement
          constitutes,  and Vendor's Documents when executed and delivered shall
          constitute,  the  legal,  valid and  binding  obligations  of  Vendor,
          enforceable against Vendor in accordance with their terms,  subject to
          applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization or similar law from
          time to time in effect which offset  creditors'  rights  generally and
          general  equitable  principles  (regardless  of  whether  the issue of
          enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or in law).

     (e)  no person or entity (except the Purchaser  pursuant to this Agreement)
          has any agreement,  option,  right or privilege capable of becoming of
          an agreement  or option for the  acquisition  of any of the  Purchased
          Assets of

                                       17

          the Vendor;

     (e)  since the Most  Recent  Fiscal  Month  End,  DKWS has  carried  on the
          Business in the usual,  regular and ordinary  course in  substantially
          the manner heretofore  conducted and has taken no unusual actions with
          respect to the Business or the Purchased  Assets in  contemplation  of
          this transaction,  except with the consent of Purchaser. All of DKWS's
          accounts payable,  including  accounts payable to insurance  carriers,
          are current and reflected properly on its books and records, and shall
          be paid in  accordance  with their  terms at their  recorded  amounts.

          prospects of Vendor.  Vendor is not in violation of any law, ordinance
          or  regulation  of  any  Governmental   Entity,   including,   without
          limitation,  any  law,  ordinance  or  regulation  relating  to any of
          Vendor's employment  practices.  As of the date of this Agreement,  no

          insofar  as  can  be  reasonably  foreseen,  individually  or  in  the

          sufficient  to pay its debts,  nor shall Vendor  permit any  judgment,
          execution,  attachment or levy against it or its  properties to remain
          outstanding or unsatisfied for more than ten (10) days;

     (k)  Except as otherwise set forth herein, neither the execution,  delivery
          or performance of this Agreement by Vendor nor the  consummation by it
          of the transactions  contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any
          of the  provisions  hereof  shall (a)  conflict  with or result in any
          breach of any  provision of DKWS's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or
          Bylaws, (b) require any filing with, or permit, authorization, consent
          or approval of, any court, arbitral tribunal, administrative agency or

          agency (each a "Governmental Entity"), or (c) result in a violation or
          breach of, constitute a default under,  result in the acceleration of,
          create  in any party the  right to  accelerate,  terminate,  modify or
          cancel,  or  require  any  notice or  consent  under any of the terms,
          conditions  or  provisions  of any  agreement or other  instrument  or
          obligation to which Vendor is a party or by which Vendor or any of its
          properties or assets may be bound.

     (k)  the Vendor shall allow the Purchaser to maintain the Vendor's  current
          telephone  number and  Yellow  Page  listings  and will take no active
          steps to have such altered;

     (k)  the  Vendor  shall  obtain  before  the  Closing  Date  all  consents,
          approvals and authorizations  from governmental and public authorities
          or any other  person as may be required to complete  the  purchase and
          sale  herein,   including  without  limiting  the  generality  of  the
          foregoing all necessary  approvals from the  California  Department of
          Insurance;

     (k)  Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, Vendor owns and holds, free and
          clear of any lien, charge,  pledge,  security  interest,  restriction,
          encumbrance or third-party  interest of any kind whatsoever,  sole and

          Assets,  together with the exclusive right to use such records and all
          customer  accounts,  Client  Files,  copies of insurance  policies and
          contracts in force and all files,  invoices and records  pertaining to
          the customers,  their contracts and insurance policies,  and all other
          information  comprising the Purchased Book of Business. The Vendor has
          not received  notice that any program,  class of business,  or book of
          business in place with any single  insurance  carrier that is included
          within the Purchased  Book of Business has canceled or  non-renewed or
          intends to cancel or non-renew.

     (k)  Schedule  "J"  annexed   hereto  sets  forth  DKWS's  Volume   Reports
          describing  premiums  and  commissions  with respect to each of DKWS's
          appointed  carriers  including the DKWS's Summary  Production  Reports
          for: A) the twelve month period ended on December 31, 2002; and B) the
          six month period ended on June 30, 2003;

     (k)  The name  "Vista  International  Insurance  Brokers" is the only trade
          name used by DKWS (or any  subsidiary  thereof)  within the past three
          (3) years.  No party has filed a claim during the past three (3) years
          against  DKWS or any  subsidiary  thereof  alleging  that  DKWS or any
          subsidiary thereof has violated,  infringed on or otherwise improperly
          used the  intellectual  property rights of such party,  or, if so, the
          claim  has been  settled  with no  existing  liability  to DKWS or any
          subsidiary  thereof and, to the  knowledge of Vendor and the Trustees,
          neither  Vendor nor any subsidiary \ thereof has violated or infringed
          any  trademark,  trade  name,  service  mark,  service  name,  patent,
          copyright or trade  secret held by others.  The Vendor shall allow the
          Purchaser  to continue  operating  the  Business  under the name(s) it
          holds as of and after the Closing Date;

     (k)  to Vendor's  knowledge,  Vendor's  computer  software  included in the

          in

                                       21
<PAGE>

          its  operation of the Business,  and should,  for at least twelve (12)
          months following the Closing Date,  continue to perform in such manner
          in the event that Purchaser elects to continue utilizing such software
          beyond  the  Closing   Date.   Vendor  has   delivered   to  Purchaser
          substantially  complete and correct  copies of all user and  technical
          documentation  issued to Vendor by the software  producers  related to
          such software;

     (e)  other than as set forth herein,  neither Vendor, JWK nor TK is a party
          to any  non-competition  or other  agreement that restricts  Vendor's,
          JWK's or TK's ability to compete in the insurance  agency  industry or
          solicit specific insurance accounts;

     (y)  to Vendor's knowledge, DWKS has not incurred any liability or taken or
          failed to take any action that may reasonably be expected to result in
          a liability  for errors or omissions  in the conduct of the  Business,
          except such  liabilities as are fully covered by insurance (other than
          deductibles). DKWS has errors and omission (E&O) insurance coverage in
          force,  with minimum  liability  limits of  $5,000,000.00  million per
          occurrence and $5,000,000.00  million  aggregate,  and a deductible of
          $10,000.00 per occurrence;

     (y)  Vendor and its  predecessors  and  affiliates  have  complied with all
          Environmental,   Health,  and  Safety  Laws,  and  no  action,   suit,
          proceeding, hearing, investigation,  charge, complaint, claim, demand,
          or notice has been filed or commenced  against it alleging any failure
          so to  comply.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the  preceding
          sentence,  each of Vendor  and its  predecessors  and  affiliates  has
          obtained and been in compliance  with all of the terms and  conditions
          of all permits,  licenses,  and other authorizations that are required
          under,  and has  complied  with all other  limitations,  restrictions,
          conditions,  standards,   prohibitions,   requirements,   obligations,
          Schedules,  and timetables  that are contained in, all  Environmental,
          Health, and Safety Laws;

     (aa) Vendor has no liability (and none of Vendor and its  predecessors  and
          affiliates has handled or disposed of any substance,  arranged for the
          disposal of any substance, exposed any employee or other individual to
          any  substance  or  condition,  or owned or operated  any  property or
          facility  in any manner  that could form the basis for any  present or
          future  action,  suit,  proceeding,  hearing,  investigation,  charge,
          complaint,  claim,  or  demand  against  Vendor  giving  rise  to  any
          liability) for damage to any site, location, or body of water (surface
          or subsurface), for any illness of or personal injury to, any employee
          or  other  individual,  or for any  reason  under  any  Environmental,
          Health, and Safety Law;

     (bb) There are no  outstanding  material  powers of  attorney  executed  on
          behalf of Vendor;

               a "Vendor Plan" and  collectively,  the "Vendor  Plans").  Vendor
               maintains no other  employee  benefit  plans.  Each of the Vendor
               Plans  (and each  related  trust,  insurance  contract,  or fund)
               complies in form and have been operated and  administered  in all
               material  respects in accordance with their  respective terms and
               applicable  law,  including,  without  limitation,  ERISA and the
               Code;
          ii)  All  contributions  (including  all  employer  contributions  and
               employee salary reduction  contributions)  that are due have been
               paid to each Vendor  Plan that is an  "Employee  Pension  Benefit
               Plan" (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA);
          iii) Each  Vendor Plan that is an Employee  Pension  Benefit  Plan has
               received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
               to the  effect  that it meets the  requirements  of Code  Section
               401(a);
          iv)  The  Vendor  does  not   participate   currently  and  has  never
               participated in, and is not required currently and has never been
               required to contribute to or otherwise  participate  in any plan,
               program, or arrangement subject to Title IV of ERISA;
          v)   The Vendor does not maintain  currently and has never maintained,
               and is not  required  currently  and has never been  required  to
               contribute to or otherwise  participate in any Multiemployer Plan
               (as defined in ERISA Section 3(37));
          vi)  No action,  suit,  proceeding,  hearing,  or  investigation  with
               respect to the  administration or the investment of the assets of
               any Vendor Plan  (other  than  routine  claims for  benefits)  is
               pending;
          vii) No individual  (i) who has  experienced a "qualifying  event," as
               that term is defined in Code  Section  4980B(f)(3),  and (ii) who
               either was an employee of Vendor or is a dependent or spouse of a
               current or former employee of Vendor,  is currently  covered by a
               health plan of Vendor pursuant to Code Section 4980B or Part 6 of
               Title I of

     (dd) Vendor has no  knowledge  of any  material  liability  relating to the
          Business or the Purchased Assets (and to Vendor's knowledge,  there is
          no basis for any present or future action, suit, proceeding,  hearing,
          investigation,  charge, complaint,  claim, or demand against it giving
          rise to any  liability),  except for (a)  liabilities set forth on the
          face of the  balance  sheet  included  in the  Most  Recent  Financial
          Statements  and the  notes to the  Financial  Statements  for the Most
          Recent  Fiscal Year End, (b) the Assumed  Contracts  and contracts and

          covered by insurance,  and (d) liabilities  that have arisen after the
          Most Recent Fiscal Month End in the ordinary  course of business (none
          of which results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of,
          or was caused by any breach of  contract,  breach of trust,  breach of
          warranty, tort, infringement, or violation of law);

     (ee) at the Effective  Date of this agreement and at the Closing Date there
          has not been and shall not have been any  material  adverse  change in
          the nature,  volume or  profitability of the Business or the Purchased
          Assets  nor has  there  been nor  will  there  by any  development  or
          threatened or probable  development which to the best of the knowledge
          of the Vendor would or will have any  materially  adverse  effect upon
          the Business or the Purchased  Assets.  From the Effective Date hereof
          to and including the Closing Date the Vendor shall retain, conduct and
          maintain  the  Business and  properly  keep,  repair,  and maintain or
          insure the Purchased  Assets, at its own cost and expense so that upon
          the closing of the transaction herein contemplated the Purchaser shall
          have and  enjoy  the  Purchased  Assets  and the  Business  as a going
          concern without any material loss of Goodwill,  customers,  contracts,
          licenses  or  depreciation  in  value  of any of  the  physical  items
          included in the Purchased Assets;

     (ff) DKWS has  agreed to assign  the Lease  Agreements  in  respect  of the
          Premises to the  Purchaser.  After the Closing  Date,  DKWS shall give
          notice of the Purchasers interest in any sub-leases to the Sub-Lessors
          thereof,  and DKWS shall use its commercially  reasonable best efforts
          to  obtain  the  landlords  consents  to the  assignment  of the Lease
          Agreements,  that  Purchaser may request in connection  with the Lease
          Agreements.  At the  Effective  Date  the use of the  Premises  of the
          Business  for the purpose of the conduct of the  Business are and will
          be in  conformity  with all  zoning  and  other  State  and  municipal
          statutes, bylaws, rules, regulations and orders;

     (gg) Schedule "K" annexed hereto sets forth the following  information with

          or otherwise the  beneficiary  of coverage at any time within the past
          three (3) years:
          i)   the name, address, and telephone number of the agent;

               name of each covered insured;
          iii) the policy number and the period of coverage;

               a description of how  deductibles and ceilings are calculated and
               operate) of coverage; and
          v)   a description  of any  retroactive  premium  adjustments or other
               loss-sharing arrangements.
          To  Vendor's  knowledge,  no  cancellation,  amendment  or increase of
          premiums  with respect to such  insurance is pending or  threatened to
          occur at or prior to the Closing Date;

     (hh) prior to the Closing  Date,  the Vendor shall permit the Purchaser and
          its   employees,    agents,   counsel   and   accountants   or   other

          Business,  to have  reasonable  access during normal business hours to
          the  Business  and to all the books,  accounts,  records,  agreements,
          contracts,  documents,  instruments  and  other  data  of  the  Vendor
          (including, without limitation, all corporate, business and accounting
          records of the Vendor)  with  respect to the Vendor,  the Business and
          the  Purchased  Assets,  and the Vendor shall furnish to the Purchaser
          such financial and operating data, agreements,  contracts,  documents,
          instruments,  and other materials and information  with respect to the
          Business and the Purchased  Assets as the Purchaser shall from time to
          time reasonably  request.  Until the Closing Date, and in the event of
          the  termination  of this  Agreement  as provided  for herein  without
          consummation of the transaction, the Purchaser will take the same care
          to protect any confidential information obtained from the Vendor as it
          takes to guard its own  confidential  information of a similar nature.
          The  Purchaser may disclose  such  information  as required by law but
          when requested by the Vendor will attempt to have the information kept
          confidential  to the extent  possible  under  applicable  law. If this
          Agreement  is so  terminated,  promptly  after such  termination,  all
          documents,  work  papers and other  written  material  (including  all
          copies  thereof)  obtained  from  a  Party  in  connection  with  this
          Agreement shall be returned to the Party who provided such material;

     (ii  Vendor shall give any notices to third  parties,  and Vendor shall use
          its  commercially  reasonable  best  efforts to obtain any third party
          consents,  that  Purchaser may request in connection  with the Assumed
          Contracts.  Vendor and  Purchaser  shall give any notices to, make any
          filings with, and use their  commercially  reasonable best efforts and
          cooperate with one another to obtain any authorizations, consents, and
          approvals of governments and governmental  agencies.  Without limiting
          the  generality of the  foregoing,  each of the parties shall file any
          Notification  and Report  Forms and  related  material  that it may be
          required to file with the Federal Trade  Commission  and shall use its
          commercially reasonable best efforts

          to obtain an early termination of the applicable  waiting period,  and
          shall make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary,
          proper, or advisable in connection therewith;

     (jj) At reasonably  mutually agreeable times, DKWS will permit Purchaser to
          meet with its employees.  Vendor shall be  responsible  for compliance
          with the  requirements  of Code Section 4980B and Part 6 of Title I of
          ERISA for all of Vendor's  employees.  Subject to Article 6.00 hereof,

          respect to any of Vendor's employees;

     (kk) Intellectual Property
          i)   Vendor  owns  or has  the  right  to  use  pursuant  to  license,

               necessary  or  desirable  for the  operation  of the  Business as
               presently conducted.  Each item of Intellectual Property owned or
               used by Vendor in connection with the Business  immediately prior
               to the Effective Date  hereunder  shall be owned or available for
               use  by  the   Purchaser  on  identical   terms  and   conditions
               immediately subsequent to the Effective Date hereunder;

               using any  Intellectual  Property rights of any third party).  To

               infringed upon, misappropriated,  or otherwise come into conflict
               with any Intellectual Property rights of Vendor; and
          iii) To the  knowledge  of Vendor,  Vendor shall not  interfere  with,
               infringe  upon,  misappropriate,  or otherwise come into conflict
               with,  any  Intellectual  Property  rights of third  parties as a

     (oo) Improper and Other Payments:
          (a)  neither DKWS, nor any director,  officer,  employee thereof, nor,
               to the knowledge of any Vendor,  any agent or  representative  of

     (a)  If any third party shall  notify any party (the  "Indemnified  Party")
          with respect to any matter (a "Third Party  Claim") that may give rise
          to  a  claim  for   indemnification   against  the  other  party  (the
          "Indemnifying  Party") under this Article 6.00,  then the  Indemnified
          Party shall promptly notify (which the Indemnified Party will endeavor

          after  receipt of notice by it or (ii) five (5) days prior to the date
          a  responsive  pleading  is due) the  Indemnifying  Party  thereof  in
          writing;  Provided,  however,  that  no  delay  on  the  part  of  the
          Indemnified  Party in notifying the  Indemnifying  Party shall relieve
          the Indemnifying Party from any obligation  hereunder unless (and then
          solely  to  the  extent)  that  the  Indemnifying   Party  thereby  is
          prejudiced;
     (b)  The Indemnifying  Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified
          Party  against  the Third  Party  Claim  with  counsel  of its  choice

          Indemnifying  Party notifies the  Indemnified  Party in writing within
          fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified  Party has given notice of the
          Third Party Claim that the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  indemnify  the
          Indemnified  Party  from  and  against  the  entirety  of any  Adverse
          Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,  arising

          Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with
          evidence  reasonably  acceptable  to the  Indemnified  Party  that the

          against  the  Third  Party  Claim  and  fulfill  its   indemnification
          obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only

                                       33
<PAGE>

          money  damages and does not seek by way of a motion an  injunction  or
          other equitable  relief,  (iv)  settlement of, or an adverse  judgment
          with  respect  to,  the Third  Party  Claim is not,  in the good faith
          judgment of the Indemnified Party,  likely to establish a precedential
          custom or  practice  materially  adverse  to the  continuing  business
          interests of the Indemnified  Party,  and (v) the  Indemnifying  Party
          conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently;
     (c)  So long as the  Indemnifying  Party is  conducting  the defense of the
          Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraph  6.04(b) above, (i) the

          expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim,  (ii)
          the  Indemnified  Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment
          or enter into any  settlement  with  respect to the Third  Party Claim
          without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (iii)
          the Indemnifying  Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment
          or enter into any  settlement  with  respect to the Third  Party Claim
          without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party;
     (d)  If any of the  conditions  in  paragraph  6.04(b)  above is or becomes
          unsatisfied,  however,  (i) the Indemnified  Party may defend against,
          and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any  settlement
          with  respect  to,  the Third  Party  Claim in any  manner it may deem
          appropriate  (and the  Indemnified  Party need not  consult  with,  or
          obtain  any  consent  from,  the  Indemnifying   Party  in  connection
          therewith),   (ii)  the   Indemnifying   Party  shall   reimburse  the
          Indemnified  Party promptly and  periodically  (but no more frequently
          that monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim
          (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and expenses),  and (iii) the
          Indemnifying   Party  shall   remain   responsible   for  any  Adverse
          Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,  arising
          out of,  relating  to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third  Party
          Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 6.00.

6.05 From and after the  Effective  Date,  except for  remedies  that  cannot be
     waived as a matter of law and except for injunctive  relief,  the rights to
     indemnification  under this Article 6.00 shall be the exclusive  remedy for
     the parties with respect to this  Agreement  contemplated  and  consummated
     hereby,  and the parties  shall not be entitled to pursue,  and each hereby
     expressly  waives as of the Effective  Date,  any and all other rights that
     may  otherwise  be  available  to either of them either at law or in equity
     with  respect  thereto.  This  paragraph  6.05 does not limit the  remedies
     available to any party under any other agreement or instrument  executed in

          secrets,  and are of great value to the Corporation (the "Confidential
          Information"); and
     (b)  the Corporation would suffer great loss and injury if the Confidential

context,  or the  number  of or  gender  of the  parties,  from  time to time so
requires.  Words  importing  persons  shall  include  corporations,   companies,

2.00 OBLIGATION TO NOT COMPETE

2.01 Kabaker  hereby  covenants  and agrees  that for a period of five (5) years

     directly or indirectly, within the Territory:

          customers; or
     (c)  own,  operate,  be engaged in the  operation of, or have any financial

     part of any person, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the
     extent  necessary  to  render  the  same  valid  and  enforceable  in  such
     jurisdiction.

3.00 OBLIGATIONS TO NOT DISCLOSE

3.01 Kabaker covenants and agrees with the Corporation that:
     (a)  the business connections,  customers,  Client Files, marketing,  sales
          techniques,  financial statements, employee lists or names, procedures
          and  operations,  and  other  intangible  assets  and  aspects  of the
          Business have been  established  and maintained by the  Corporation at
          great expense and are protected as confidential  information and trade
          secrets,  and are of great value to the Corporation (the "Confidential
          Information"); and
     (b)  the Corporation would suffer great loss and injury if the Confidential
          Information  were disclosed or used in any way to the detriment of the
          Corporation.
     Therefore,  Kabaker shall not, directly or indirectly,  use or disclose, or
     cause or allow to be used or disclosed, to the Corporation's detriment, any
     Confidential  Information,   secret,  or  proprietary  information  of  the
     Corporation.  The foregoing  limitation shall not apply to any Confidential
     Information or proprietary information which has been voluntarily disclosed
     to the public by the Corporation,  independently developed and disclosed by
     others,  or otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means, not in
     violation of the provisions of this subsection. In addition, Kabaker hereby
     covenants and agrees with the Corporation that, upon Kabaker termination of
     employment with the Corporation for any reason  whatsoever,  or upon demand
     by the Corporation for the same,

     possession to the Corporation.

3.02 The  obligations  contained in paragraph 3.01 shall survive the termination
     of any discussions,  negotiations or contractual  relations between Kabaker
     and the Corporation.

3.03 In the event  that a  dispute  shall  arise as to  whether  or not  certain
     information is Confidential Information, then Kabaker shall have the burden
     of proving that such information is not Confidential Information.

4.00 MISCELLANEOUS

4.01 If  any  covenant  or  provision   herein  is  determined  to  be  void  or
     unenforceable  in whole or in part,  it shall  not be  deemed  to affect or
     impair the enforceability or validity of any other covenant or provision of

     addition to, and not in  substitution  of, all other remedies  available to
     the Corporation at law or in equity, the Corporation shall be entitled as a
     matter  of right to apply  to a Court of  competent  jurisdiction  for such
     relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise, as may
     be appropriate to ensure  compliance  with the provisions of this Agreement
     and Kabaker shall be liable to the Corporation for all losses, costs, legal
     fees,  damages and expenses  whatsoever  which the Corporation may sustain,
     pay or incur as result of or in  connection  with Kabaker  failure to keep,
     observe or perform,  from and after the dates  hereof,  the covenants to be
     kept, observed and performed by Kabaker under this Agreement.

4.03 The Parties agree that all restrictions in this Agreement are necessary and
     are  fundamental to the protection of the Business of the  Corporation  and
     are reasonable and valid and all defences to the strict enforcement thereof
     by the Corporation are hereby waived by Kabaker.

     parties  hereto  together  with  any  of  their  respective   shareholders,
     directors, officers, managers, employees,  successors and assigns and where

4.05 Kabaker shall not assign, or otherwise transfer, his rights or delegate his
     duties or  obligations  under  this  Agreement  without  the prior  written
     consent of the Corporation. This Agreement shall be fully assignable by the
     Corporation.

     by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

2.00 OBLIGATION TO NOT COMPETE

          customers; or

     extent  necessary  to  render  the  same  valid  and  enforceable  in  such
     jurisdiction.

3.00 OBLIGATIONS TO NOT DISCLOSE

3.01 Kabaker covenants and agrees with the Corporation that:
     (a)  the business connections,  customers,  Client Files, marketing,  sales
          techniques,  financial statements, employee lists or names, procedures

          Business have been  established  and maintained by the  Corporation at
          great expense and are protected as confidential  information and trade
          secrets,  and are of great value to the Corporation (the "Confidential
          Information"); and
     (b)  the Corporation would suffer great loss and injury if the Confidential
          Information  were disclosed or used in any way to the detriment of the
          Corporation.
     Therefore,  Kabaker shall not, directly or indirectly,  use or disclose, or

     Confidential  Information,   secret,  or  proprietary  information  of  the
     Corporation.  The foregoing  limitation shall not apply to any Confidential
     Information or proprietary information which has been voluntarily disclosed

     covenants and agrees with the Corporation that, upon Kabaker termination of
     employment with the

     for the same,  Kabaker  shall  forthwith  return  any and all  Confidential
     Information in his possession to the Corporation.

     of any discussions,  negotiations or contractual  relations between Kabaker
     and the Corporation.

3.03 In the event  that a  dispute  shall  arise as to  whether  or not  certain
     information is Confidential Information, then Kabaker shall have the burden

4.00 MISCELLANEOUS

4.01 If  any  covenant  or  provision   herein  is  determined  to  be  void  or
     unenforceable  in whole or in part,  it shall  not be  deemed  to affect or
     impair the enforceability or validity of any other covenant or provision of
     this Agreement or any part thereof.

     addition to, and not in  substitution  of, all other remedies  available to

     matter  of right to apply  to a Court of  competent  jurisdiction  for such
     relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise, as may
     be appropriate to ensure  compliance  with the provisions of this Agreement

     fees,  damages and expenses  whatsoever  which the Corporation may sustain,
     pay or incur as result of or in  connection  with Kabaker  failure to keep,
     observe or perform,  from and after the dates  hereof,  the covenants to be
     kept, observed and performed by Kabaker under this Agreement.

4.03 The Parties agree that all restrictions in this Agreement are necessary and
     are  fundamental to the protection of the Business of the  Corporation  and
     are reasonable and valid and all defences to the strict enforcement thereof
     by the Corporation are hereby waived by Kabaker.

4.04 This  Agreement  shall enure to the  benefit and shall be binding  upon the
     parties  hereto  together  with  any  of  their  respective   shareholders,
     directors, officers, managers, employees,  successors and assigns and where
     applicable, their respective heirs, executors and administrators.

4.05 Kabaker shall not assign, or otherwise transfer, his rights or delegate his
     duties or  obligations  under  this  Agreement  without  the prior  written
     consent of the Corporation. This Agreement shall be fully assignable by the
     Corporation.

4.06 This Agreement and the rights and  obligations  hereunder shall be governed
     by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

     Agreement or in the Schedules are in United States funds.

2.00 EMPLOYMENT

2.01 During the term of this  Agreement,  the Employee  agrees to be employed by
     and to serve the Employer as President.  The Employer  agrees to employ and
     retain the Employee in such capacities and the Employee  accepts and agrees
     to  such  employment,  subject  to  the  general  supervision,  advice  and
     direction of the Employers's  Chief Operating  Officer ("COO") and Board of
     Directors.  The  Employee  shall  perform  such  duties as are  customarily
     performed  by an  Employee in a similar  position  and agrees to perform on
     behalf of the Employer all such reasonable  duties as may from time to time
     be authorized and directed by the COO (the "Services").  The Employee shall
     devote his full business time to the affairs of the Employer to perform the
     duties of his position.

3.00 REMUNERATION

3.01 Subject to the terms of paragraph  3.02, as  compensation  for the Services
     provided by the Employee  under this  Agreement,  the Employer will pay the
     Employee a salary of three hundred fifty  thousand  dollars  ($350,000) per
     year (the "Base Salary),  payable in bi-

                                       2

<PAGE>

     monthly  installments  of $14,583.00 each on the 15th and last days of each
     month during the Term hereof. Upon termination of this Agreement,  payments
     under this  paragraph  shall cease,  provided,  however,  that the Employee
     shall be entitled to payments for periods or partial  periods that occurred
     prior to the date of  termination  and for which the  Employee  has not yet
     been paid.

3.02 In the event that annual Owned Commission Revenue attributable to the Vista
     Division falls below $3,000,000 per annum during the Term hereof,  then the
     amount of the Base  Salary  shall be  reduced  for the next 12 months by an
     amount  equal  to $1.00  of Base  Salary  for  each  $8.55  that the  Owned
     Commission   Revenue   attributable  to  the  Vista  Division  falls  below
     $3,000,000 (the "Base Salary Adjustment").  For greater clarification,  the
     Base  Salary  Adjustment  cannot  have the  effect of  increasing  the Base
     Salary,  the Base Salary Adjustment can only lower the Base Salary,  and in
     no case will the Base Salary be greater than $350,000.

3.03 If, at the  fiscal  year end of the  Employer  (March  31)  during the Term
     hereof,  commencing with the Commencement  Date, the Employer's EBITDA from
     the Vista Division has increased in excess of THIRTY (30%) PERCENT over the
     previous  fiscal period,  then the Employee shall receive from the Employer
     and the Employer  shall pay to the Employee a bonus of FIFTY (50%)  percent
     of that portion of the EBITDA  which is in excess of THIRTY  (30%)  PERCENT
     (the "EBITDA Bonus").  The EBITDA Bonus, if any, shall be determined by the
     Employer  and be paid to the Employee on or before 120 days from the fiscal
     year end of the Employer.  When determining the EBITDA of the Employer from
     the Vista  Division,  the  Employer  shall take into account only the Owned
     Commission  Revenue of the Vista  Division  plus all  Contingency  Revenues
     received   as  a  result  of  the   operations   of  the   Vista   Division
     (notwithstanding   the  exclusion  of  or  any  restrictions   placed  upon
     Contingency Revenues in the definition of Owned Commission Revenues).

3.04 If, at the  fiscal  year end of the  Employer  (March  31)  during the Term
     hereof, the Employer's EBITDA from its business,  excluding the EBITDA from
     the Vista  Division,  has  increased in excess of THIRTY (30%) PERCENT over
     the  previous  fiscal  period,  then the  Employee  shall  receive from the
     Employer and the Employer  shall pay to the Employee a bonus of FIFTY (50%)
     percent of that  portion of the EBITDA  which is in excess of THIRTY  (30%)
     PERCENT (the "CORPORATE EBITDA Bonus"). The CORPORATE EBITDA Bonus, if any,
     shall be  determined  by the  Employer  and be paid to the  Employee  on or
     before 120 days from the fiscal year end of the Employer.  When determining
     the EBITDA of the Employer from its business,  the Employer shall take into
     account only the Owned  Commission  Revenue of the Employer minus the Owned
     Commission  Revenue from the Vista Division plus all  Contingency  Revenues
     received as a result of the operations of the Employer (notwithstanding the
     exclusion  of or  restrictions  placed  upon  Contingency  Revenues  in the
     definition of Owned  Commission  Revenues) minus any  Contingency  Revenues
     from the Vista Division.

3.05 The  remuneration  provided  in  Section  3.00  herein  shall be subject to
     payroll  deductions  for  income  tax and for  any and all  other  employee
     deductions or remittances  required by

                                       3
<PAGE>

     law and  imposed  upon the  Employer  to collect  and remit to any level of
     government or regulatory authority.

3.06 Employer shall reimburse Employee for such "out-of-pocket"  expenses as the
     Board of Directors determines,  in its sole discretion,  to be necessary to
     the performance of his duties to the Employer.

3.07 Employee  shall be entitled to medical and dental  insurance  coverage  and
     such additional benefits as Employer provides to its Employees,  and on the
     terms provided to its employees.

3.08 The Employer  shall,  during the Term hereof and when presented with proper
     third party invoices therefor,  contribute up to $10,000.00 per annum to be
     applied towards the premiums of a Long Term Disability insurance policy for
     the benefit of the Employee,  with such total Long Term Disability coverage
     not to exceed the sum of $1,750,000.00 under the policy.

3.09 The Employer  shall,  during the Term hereof and when presented with proper
     third party invoices therefor,  contribute up to $10,000.00 per annum to be
     applied towards the premiums of a Life Insurance  policy for the benefit of
     the Employee, with such total Life Insurance coverage not to exceed the sum
     of $1,750,000.00 under the policy.

                                       4
<PAGE>

5.04 The Employee shall  continue to be bound by all of the Employer's  policies

     supervisory,  managerial  or  otherwise,  and all income  generated  by the

     Employer.

5.06 Employee  shall be based at the principal  offices of Employer,  located in
     Novato, California.

5.07 The  Employee  shall hold and  maintain in good  standing  any and all such

     Employer and its Clients.

6.00 DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE EMPLOYER

6.01 The Employer shall  remunerate the Employee in accordance with the terms of
     Article 3.00 hereof.

     c)   modify or cancel such work;
     d)   require the Employee to revise such work;
     e)   determine the time and manner of performance of all work; and
     f)   determine  the  standards  of  performance  and,  within  reason,  the
          necessary hours of work.

7.00 VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND SICK LEAVE

7.01 Employee  shall  accrue  vacation on a monthly  basis (at the rate of 1.667
     days per month).  Employee shall thereby be entitled to twenty (20) days of
     paid vacation for each year of employment. Employee is ineligible to accrue
     vacation  benefits while Employee is absent without pay including,  but not
     limited to,  unpaid  leaves of absence.  The purpose of paid vacation is to
     provide time for recreation and relaxation.  Employer encourages all of its
     employees  to take accrued  vacation  each year.  Accordingly,  the maximum
     vacation  time  Employee will be permitted to accrue is twenty (20) days in
     addition  to  all  normal  scheduled  holidays  as  are  accustomed  in the
     insurance and financial services industry.  Once this cap on the accrual of
     vacation  has been  reached,  no  additional  vacation  will  accrue  until
     Employee  has reduced the balance of his unused  vacation  time  accrued to
     less  than  twenty  (20)  days.  Thereafter,  vacation  will  accrue  on  a
     prospective  basis as

                                       5

<PAGE>

     long as Employee's total accrual remains under the cap.  Employer  reserves
     the right to compensate  Employee for earned,  unused  vacation time at any
     time in its sole discretion.

7.02 All  times  for  holidays  shall  be  agreed  to by  both  parties,  acting
     reasonably and in a business and professional like manner.

7.03 Employee  shall be entitled to holidays  with pay during each calendar year
     consistent with the holiday schedule applicable to management  Employees of
     Employer generally.

7.04 Employee shall accrue  sick/personal  business leave on a monthly basis (at
     the rate of 1.667 days per month).  Employee  shall  thereby be entitled to
     twenty  20) days of paid  sick/personal  business  leave  for each  year of
     employment,  after the first three (3) months of employment. Sick leave may
     not be  accumulated  from  year to year and  Employee  will not be paid for
     accrued   but  unused   sick/personal   business   leave  upon   employment
     termination.  If  Employee is unable to work for more than twenty (20) days
     because of sickness or total  disability,  Employee's  unused vacation time
     may be applied to such  absence.  All  requests  for sick days and personal
     days off shall be made by Employee in accordance with Employer  policies in
     effect from time to time.

     and method of performance of the Services.

8.04 The  Employee  shall  not,  without  the  express  written  consent  of the
     Employer,  take any action that would bind the  Employer  to any  agreement
     outside the normal  day-to-day  operations of the Employer or any agreement
     in excess of $5,000.00.

8.05 The Employee,  at all times, and for the purposes of this Agreement,  shall
     personally fulfil the performance of the Services,  and shall not permit or
     allow any other  person to fulfil such  Services  at any time,  without the
     express consent of the Employer.

8.06 Any and all Clients found,  solicited or discovered by the Employee and all
     information  received by the Employee  while  providing the Services to the
     Employer  as set out in this  Agreement  shall  remain the  property of the
     Employer.

8.07 The  Employee  shall,  upon the  request of the  Employer  and at any time,
     execute  any  form of  confidentiality  agreement  then  being  used by the

<PAGE>

8.08 Employee  agrees  to  comply  with  all of the  rules  and  regulations  of
     Employer.

          Base Salary other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
          (ii) any material  reduction in the package of benefits and incentives
          provided to Employee or any action by Employer which would  materially
          and adversely affect  Employee's  participation  or reduce  Employee's
          benefits under any such plans, except to the extent that such benefits
          and  incentives  of all  other  officers  of  Employer  are  similarly
          reduced;   (iii)  any  material   diminution  of  Employee's   duties,
          responsibilities,  or authority; or (iv) any requirement that Employee

2.01 During the term of this  Agreement,  the Employee  agrees to be employed by
     and  to  serve  the  Employer  as the  Chief  Office  Administrator  of the
     Employer's  Vista  Division.  The Employer  agrees to employ and retain the
     Employee in such  capacities  and the  Employee  accepts and agrees to such
     employment, subject to the general supervision, advice and direction of the
     Employers's  President and Board of Directors.  The Employee  shall perform
     such  duties  as are  customarily  performed  by an  Employee  in a similar

     reasonable  duties as may from time to time be  authorized  and directed by

     "Base  Salary  Adjustment").  For  greater  clarification,  the Base Salary
     Adjustment  cannot have the effect of increasing the Base Salary,  the Base

     such additional benefits as Employer provides to its Employees,  and on the
     terms provided to its employees.

     otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement is
     a contract for employment  for a period of five (5) years  beginning on the
     Commencement  Date and ending on September 30, 2008 (the "Term").  Employer
     agrees to continue the Employee's  employment,  and the Employee  agrees to
     remain employed by Employer, from the Commencement Date until the date when

     Agreement.

     sell the products and services of the Employer.

                                       3
<PAGE>

5.04 The Employee shall  continue to be bound by all of the Employer's  policies
     in effect to date, or as amended from time to time with  reasonable  notice
     to the Employee.

5.05 Subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement,   all  fees,
     compensation,  money and other  things of value  received  or realized as a
     result  of  the  Employee's  rendering  of the  Services,  be  they  sales,
     supervisory,  managerial  or  otherwise,  and all income  generated  by the
     Employee  shall  belong  to the  Employer,  whether  paid  directly  to the
     Employee or to the Employer,  if such income stems from the Business of the
     Employer.

5.06 Employee  shall be based at the principal  offices of Employer,  located in
     Novato, California.

5.07 The  Employee  shall hold and  maintain in good  standing  any and all such

     Employer and its Clients.

6.00 DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE EMPLOYER

6.01 The Employer shall  remunerate the Employee in accordance with the terms of
     Article 3.00 hereof.

     applicable  laws,  regulations and rules of court,  the Employer shall have
     the power to:
     a)   assign Clients to the Employee;

     c)   modify or cancel such work;
     d)   require the Employee to revise such work;
     e)   determine the time and manner of performance of all work; and
     f)   determine  the  standards  of  performance  and,  within  reason,  the
          necessary hours of work.

7.00 VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND SICK LEAVE

7.01 Employee  shall  accrue  vacation on a monthly  basis (at the rate of 1.667
     days per month).  Employee shall thereby be entitled to twenty (20) days of
     paid vacation for each year of employment. Employee is ineligible to accrue
     vacation  benefits while Employee is absent without pay including,  but not
     limited to,  unpaid  leaves of absence.  The purpose of paid vacation is to
     provide time for recreation and relaxation.  Employer encourages all of its
     employees  to take accrued  vacation  each year.  Accordingly,  the maximum
     vacation  time  Employee will be permitted to accrue is twenty (20) days in
     addition  to  all  normal  scheduled  holidays  as  are  accustomed  in the
     insurance and financial services industry.  Once this cap on the accrual of
     vacation  has been  reached,  no  additional  vacation  will  accrue  until
     Employee  has reduced the balance of her unused  vacation  time  accrued to
     less  than  twenty  (20)  days.  Thereafter,  vacation  will  accrue  on  a
     prospective  basis as long as Employee's  total  accrual  remains under the
     cap. Employer reserves the right to compensate Employee for earned,  unused
     vacation time at any time in its sole

                                       4
<PAGE>

     discretion.

7.02 All  times  for  holidays  shall  be  agreed  to by  both  parties,  acting
     reasonably and in a business and professional like manner.

7.03 Employee  shall be entitled to holidays  with pay during each calendar year
     consistent  with the holiday  schedule  applicable to Employees of Employer
     generally.

7.04 Employee shall accrue  sick/personal  business leave on a monthly basis (at
     the rate of 1.667 days per month).  Employee  shall  thereby be entitled to
     twenty  20) days of paid  sick/personal  business  leave  for each  year of
     employment,  after the first three (3) months of employment. Sick leave may
     not be  accumulated  from  year to year and  Employee  will not be paid for
     accrued   but  unused   sick/personal   business   leave  upon   employment
     termination.  If  Employee is unable to work for more than twenty (20) days
     because of sickness or total  disability,  Employee's  unused vacation time
     may be applied to such  absence.  All  requests  for sick days and personal
     days off shall be made by Employee in accordance with Employer  policies in
     effect from time to time.

8.01 The  Employee  agrees that she is an employee of the Employer and shall not
     be deemed to be an independent contractor at any time.

8.02 There shall be no agency established in any form or manner.

     and method of performance of the Services.

8.04 The  Employee  shall  not,  without  the  express  written  consent  of the
     Employer, take any action that would bind the Employer to any agreement.

8.05 The Employee,  at all times, and for the purposes of this Agreement,  shall
     personally fulfil the performance of the Services,  and shall not permit or
     allow any other  person to fulfil such  Services  at any time,  without the
     express consent of the Employer.

8.06 Any and all Clients found,  solicited or discovered by the Employee and all
     information  received by the Employee  while  providing the Services to the
     Employer  as set out in this  Agreement  shall  remain the  property of the
     Employer.

8.07 The  Employee  shall,  upon the  request of the  Employer  and at any time,
     execute  any  form of  confidentiality  agreement  then  being  used by the
     Employer.

                                 ---------------

FOR VALUE RECEIVED the undersigned  Promissor,  ADDISON YORK INSURANCE  BROKERS,
LTD.,  a Delaware  corporation,  promises to pay to the KABAKER  FAMILY TRUST OF
JULY 1998  ("KFT"),  the sum of THREE  MILLION  FIVE  HUNDRED  FIFTEEN  THOUSAND
($3,515,000.00)  DOLLARS  (hereinafter  called the "Principal  Amount") together
with  interest  thereon at the rate of SEVEN (7%)  PERCENT  interest  per annum,
calculated  and  compounded  annually,  not in  advance,  both  before and after
maturity.  Subject to the terms  hereof,  the  Principal  Amount  along with the
accrued  interest  thereon as aforesaid shall be repaid in monthly  installments
(the  "Installments")  in accordance with the amortization  schedule attached as
Schedule  "A" hereto and  forming a part hereof  (the  "Amortization  Schedule")
beginning  on the  31st  day of  October,  2003,  to and  until  the 30th day of
September,  2013 (the "Maturity Date") when all amounts outstanding shall become
due and payable.

KFT  acknowledges and agrees that, the Principal Amount is subject to Adjustment
as is  more  particularly  set  forth  in  Article  3.00 of the  Asset  Purchase
Agreement  dated  effective the 1st day of October,  2003,  and made between the
Promissor, DKWS Enterprises, Inc. ("DKWS"), John W. Kabaker, Theolyn Kabaker and

KFT  acknowledges and agrees that any charge against the assets of the Promissor
which  may  be  created  by  this  instrument  is  subject  to  the  terms  of a
Subordination  Agreement dated  effective the 1st day of October,  2003 and made
between  the  Promissor,  DKWS and KFT and is,  inter alia,  subordinate  to all
present and future  Senior Debt (as defined in the  Subordination  Agreement) of
the Promissor.

KFT  acknowledges   and  agrees  that  the  Promissor  may  discontinue   making
Installments  in  accordance  with the  Amortization  Schedule  or at all if the
paying of an  Installment  or  Installments  would at any time,  or from time to
time,  cause the  monthly  consolidated  cash  balance  (excluding  any  monthly
consolidated  trust account balances) of Anthony Clark  International  Insurance
Brokers Ltd.  ("Anthony  Clark"),  the parent company of the Promissor,  to fall
below the sum of  $500,000.00  after the  servicing  of all  Senior  Debt of the
Promissor and Anthony Clark. In addition,  KFT acknowledges  that: (i) it is the
sole  shareholder of DKWS; (ii) the Promissor has provided a loan to DKWS in the
principal  amount of  $150,000.00  (the  "Loan"),  which Loan is  evidenced by a
promissory note dated October 10, 2003 (the "Note"); and (iii) the Loan was used
by DKWS to reduce the trust account deficiencies of DKWS. In accordance with the
foregoing,  KFT acknowledges and agrees that: (i) so long as the Installments to
be made  hereunder  are current to within 365 days of the payments to be made in
accordance with the Amortization Schedule,  then there shall be no default under
this instrument and (ii) when  determining  whether or not the Instalments to be
made  hereunder  are  current to within 365 days of the  payments  to be made in
accordance  with the  Amortization  Schedule,  any and all amounts  owing to the
Promissor pursuant to the Note shall be taken into account.

KFT acknowledges and agrees that, at the option of the Promissor,  the Principal
Amount  (or any part  thereof)  along  with all  accrued  interest  thereon  are
repayable  without  notice or bonus at any time prior to the Maturity  Date. The
Promissor waives presentment for payment,  notice of protest, demand for payment
and

notice of non-payment.

3.05 DKWS shall assure that all files,  computer records, and accounting records
     kept by DKWS and all other internal operating systems of DKWS are marked or
     designated  to indicate  which  documents,  matters and entries  pertain to
     Client  Files.  DKWS shall  maintain a software  system  that is capable of
     generating  reports  listing  all of the  Client  Files and  basic  related
     information.

     any and all reports, financial statements, bank reconciliations, contracts,

     concerning  the  Business  or  Purchased  Assets,   including  the  monthly
     financial statements of the Business which shall be delivered to AYI within
     15 days of the end of the month. In addition, DKWS shall permit AYI and its

     (including,  without  limitation,  all  corporate,  business and accounting
     records of DKWS) and DKWS shall furnish to AYI such financial and operating
     data, agreements,  contracts,  documents,  instruments, and other materials

     a)   all out of  pocket  expenses  with  respect  to the  operation  of the
          Business;
     b)   all of the costs and  expenses  incurred  by DKWS in  respect of those
          matters set forth in paragraph 3.02;

          matters set forth in paragraph 3.04;
     d)   all required license fees and other required regulatory fees necessary
          to maintain  DKWS's status as an insurance  agency or brokerage  under
          the  laws of the  State  of  California  or  under  the  rules  of any
          professional or regulatory or licensing body having  jurisdiction over
          the affairs of DKWS or an  insurance  agency or  brokerage in general;
          and
     e)   other reasonable and necessary  operational  expenses  incurred in the
          normal day to day operation of the  Business.  All as set forth in the
          budget (the  "Budget")  attached as Schedule  "A" hereto and forming a
          part hereof.  DKWS warrants and agrees that it must obtain the written
          consent of AYI prior to making any capital  expenditures in respect of
          the better  operation of the  Business or the  servicing of the Client
          Files  in  excess  of  $5,000.00  for  which  it  intends  to hold AYI
          responsible for the payment thereof.

3.08 Notwithstanding  the terms of paragraph  3.07, DKWS represents and warrants
     to AYI  that  DKWS  receives  at least  $400,000.00  in  annual  commission
     revenues from Shamrock  Materials Inc. et al ("Shamrock")  and pays the sum
     of  $24,000.00  per year  ($2,000.00  per  month) to Lee R.  Ceccotti  (the
     Chairman of Shamrock) in respect of those commission revenues.  DKWS hereby
     agrees with AYI that if the Shamrock  account is lost or if the  commission
     revenues  therefrom drop below the sum of $24,000.00  per annum,  then DKWS
     shall be solely  responsible  for any and all payments to be made to Lee R.
     Ceccotti.  For greater  clarity,  if the Shamrock account is lost or if the
     commission  revenues  therefrom drop below the sum of $24,000.00 per annum,
     then DKWS hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless AYI for any costs or
     charges  relating to any and all payments which may be owing by DKWS to Lee
     R. Ceccotti.

3.09 Notwithstanding  the terms of paragraph  3.07, DKWS represents and warrants
     to AYI that it has entered into an employment  agreement  dated May 1, 2001
     (the "EA"), with Jeffrey S. Rosentreter  ("JR").  Pursuant to the terms set
     forth in paragraph 3 of the EA, DKWS has agreed,  inter alia,  to take out,
     carry  and pay for key man  insurance  on JR (the  "Policy").  DKWS  hereby
     agrees with AYI that:
     a)   DKWS shall be responsible for all tax payments or consequences flowing
          from the Policy and shall  indemnify  and save AYI harmless  from such
          payments or consequences; and
     b)   if JR should quit his employment  with DKWS or if JR's employment with
          DKWS is terminated  for just cause,  then the premiums paid in respect
          of the Policy  shall no longer form a part of the  expenses to be paid
          by AYI pursuant to the terms hereof and DKWS shall  indemnify and save
          AYI harmless from such payments or premiums.

     an insurance agency or broker in accordance with the established  norms and
     customs of the insurance industry and will operate the Business and service
     the Client Files as would a prudent operator handling such matters.

3.11 DKWS  represents  and  warrants to AYI that it shall,  process the revenues

     officers on the Accounts and to change the signing  officers on the Account
     from  time to time as AYI deems  prudent  and  necessary.  In order to give
     effect to the  foregoing,  DKWS  further  agrees to execute  the  directors
     resolution (the "Directors Resolution") attached as Schedule "C" hereto and
     forming a part hereof and deliver the same to the Escrow Agent.

     by the Escrow Agent and dealt with by the Escrow Agent in  accordance  with
     the following terms:
     (a)  if DKWS is in default of the  performance  of its  obligations  as set
          forth in this  Agreement  and AYI  notifies  the Escrow  Agent of that
          default and demands in writing that the  Securities  Pledge  Agreement
          and Directors  Resolution  be released to them,  then the Escrow Agent
          shall  forthwith  deliver  the  Securities  Pledge  Agreement  and the
          Directors  Resolution  to AYI,  and once  delivered,  the Escrow Agent
          shall  be  released  from  any  and  all  obligations  concerning  the
          Securities Pledge Agreement and the Directors Resolution; or
     (b)  upon the termination of this Agreement and if no notice of default has
          been  received  by the Escrow  Agent from AYI in  accordance  with the
          terms of  sub-paragraph  (a),  then the Escrow Agent shall deliver the
          Securities Pledge Agreement and the Directors  Resolution to the Trust
          and once  delivered,  the Escrow Agent shall be released  from any and
          all  obligations  concerning the Securities  Pledge  Agreement and the
          Directors Resolution.

by DKWS to reduce the trust account deficiencies of DKWS. In accordance with the
foregoing,  KFT acknowledges and agrees that: (i) so long as the Installments to
be made  hereunder  are current to within 365 days of the payments to be made in
accordance with the Amortization Schedule,  then there shall be no default under
this instrument and (ii) when  determining  whether or not the Instalments to be
made  hereunder  are  current to within 365 days of the  payments  to be made in
accordance  with the  Amortization  Schedule,  any and all amounts  owing to the
Promissor pursuant to the Note shall be taken into account.

KFT acknowledges and agrees that, at the option of the Promissor,  the Principal
Amount  (or any part  thereof)  along  with all  accrued  interest  thereon  are
repayable  without  notice or bonus at any time prior to the Maturity  Date. The
Promissor waives presentment for payment,  notice of protest, demand for payment
and notice of non-payment.

of its rights upon or under the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver
shall be in writing and signed by Creditor.  No delay or omission on the part of
Creditor in exercising  any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
other right.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any right on any future occasion.  All rights and remedies of Creditor
with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral,  whether  evidenced hereby or
by any other  instrument  or papers,  shall be  cumulative  and may be exercised
singularly, alternatively,  successively or concurrently at such time or at such

Agreement  and all rights and  obligations  hereunder  shall be binding upon the
Company  and its  respective  successors  and  assigns,  and shall  inure to the
benefit  of  Creditor  and  its  successors  and  assigns.  If any  term of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of
all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected  thereby,  and this Agreement
