          B    If sent by any other means, upon delivery.

     12   COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. Borrower shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand the full amount of all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees if permitted by
applicable law), incurred by Bank in connection with (a) negotiation and

                                       10
<PAGE>

benefit and security of the Loan Documents. In addition, the Borrower agrees to
pay and save the Bank harmless against any liability for payment of any state
documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes or similar taxes (including interest
or penalties, if any) which may now or thereafter be determined to be payable in
respect to the execution, delivery or recording of any Loan Document or the
making of any Advance, whether originally thought to be due or not, and
regardless of any mistake of fact or law on the part of the Bank or the Borrower
with respect to the applicability of such tax. The provisions of this section
shall survive payment in full of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

     13   MISCELLANEOUS. Borrower and Bank further covenant and agree as
follows, without limiting any requirement of any other Loan Document:

          A    Cumulative Rights and No Waiver. Each and every right granted to
Bank under any Loan Document, or allowed it by law or equity shall be cumulative
of each other and may be exercised in addition to any and all other rights of
Bank, and no delay in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank of any right preclude any other
or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Borrower
expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
including but not limited to notice of intent to accelerate and notice of
acceleration. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall, of itself
entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

          B    Applicable Law. This Loan Agreement and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Florida and applicable United States, federal law.

          C    Amendment. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Loan Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
an officer of Bank, and then shall be effective only in the specified instance
and for the purpose for which given. This Loan Agreement is binding upon
Borrower, its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Bank, its
successors and assigns; however, no assignment or other transfer of Borrower's
rights or obligations hereunder shall be made or be effective without Bank's
prior written consent, nor shall it relieve Borrower of any obligations
hereunder. There is no third party beneficiary of this Loan Agreement.

          D    Documents. All documents, certificates and other items required
under this Loan Agreement to be executed and/or delivered to Bank shall be in
form and content satisfactory to Bank and its counsel.

          E    Partial Invalidity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provision of this Loan Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or validity
of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of any Loan Document to any person or circumstance shall not affect
the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other
persons or circumstances.

          F    Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 12(G), Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank and
its successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, losses, damages, assessments, fines, penalties, costs or other
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from or
in any way related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including but
not limited to actual damage to the environment, agency costs of investigation,
personal injury or death, or property damage, due to a release or alleged
release of Hazardous Materials, arising Corn Borrower's business operations, any
other property owned by Borrower or in the surface or ground water arising from
Borrower's business operations, or gaseous emissions arising from Borrower's
business operations or any other condition existing or arising from Borrower's
business operations resulting from the use or existence of Hazardous Materials,
whether such claim proves to be true or false. Borrower further agrees that its
indemnity obligations shall include, but are not limited to, liability for
damages resulting from the personal injury or death of an employee of the
Borrower, regardless of whether the Borrower has paid the employee under the
workmen's compensation laws of any state or other similar federal or state
legislation for the protection of employees. The term "property damage" as used

                                       11
<PAGE>

in this paragraph includes, but is not limited to, damage to any real or
personal property of the Borrower, the Bank, and of any third parties. The
Borrower's obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of the
Loan and any deed in lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure of any Deed to Secure
Debt, Deed of Trust, Security Agreement or Mortgage securing the Loan.

          G    Survivability. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein or in the other Loan Documents shall survive the making
of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Loan is
outstanding or the obligation of the Bank to make any advances under the Line
shall not have expired.

          H    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of
which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     14   No Oral Agreement. This written loan agreement and other loan
documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements
of the parties.

     The undersigned, and if more than one, each of them jointly and severally,
(hereinafter called "Maker" or "Obligator") unconditionally promises to pay to
the order of AmSouth Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (hereinafter, together
with any holder hereof, called "Holder"), at its office at 13535 Feather Sound

been advanced hereunder, with interest thereon from the date hereof at a
variable interest rate of the thirty-day "LIBOR Rate", plus one hundred eighty-
five (185) Basis Points per annum ("Basis Point" is defined in that certain
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated May 24, 2000, as amended on even date

the average offered rate in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S.
Dollars for thirty (30) days as published in the Wall Street Journal, or such
other comparable financial information reporting service used by the Holder at

every month and based on the most recent LIBOR rate reasonably available to the
Holder on the date of change.

     Any interest rate based on a fluctuating index or base rate will, unless
otherwise provided, change each time and as of the date that the index or base
rate changes. Obligor expressly acknowledges and consents that said interest
shall be calculated based upon a three hundred sixty-day (360) year for actual
days elapsed.

     Principal shall be paid on demand; interest thereon shall be paid monthly
commencing on February 1, 2001, and continuing on the same day of each
successive month thereafter, with a final payment of all unpaid interest at the
time of payment of the principal.

     Notwithstanding the above, and unless the line of credit evidenced by this
Note is
<PAGE>

extended by Holder (in its sole and absolute discretion), or demand previously
has been made by Holder, this Note shall mature and all outstanding principal
and accrued interest shall be payable on December 31, 2003.

          Revolving Feature: Obligor may borrow, repay and re-borrow hereunder
at any time up to the principal amount of this Note.  Obligor acknowledges that
cumulative borrowings in excess of the amount set forth above may trigger an
obligation to pay additional documentary stamp taxes; Obligor accepts full
responsibility for the payment of any such taxes.

          All payments received hereunder shall be applied first to the payment
of any expenses or charges payable hereunder or under any other loan documents,
then to interest due and payable, with the balance being applied to principal,
or in such other order as the Holder shall determine at its option.  Prepayments
may be made in whole or in part at any time without penalty.  All prepayments of
principal shall be applied in the inverse order of maturity.

          If any payment is more than fifteen (15) days late, Obligor agrees to
pay Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment.

          After the maturity or due date of this Note, through acceleration or
otherwise, interest shall accrue on the principal balance remaining unpaid at a
rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to five percent (5%) per annum above
the interest rate stated above, but in no event shall interest accrue after
maturity at a rate in excess of the highest rate authorized by applicable law.

          The indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all other indebtedness of
Obligor to Holder, however and whenever incurred or evidenced, whether primary,
secondary, direct, indirect, absolute, contingent, sole, joint or several, due
to become due, or which may be hereafter contracted or acquired, whether arising
in the ordinary course of business or otherwise (hereinafter with this Note
collectively called "Liabilities"), is secured by that certain Security
Agreement of even date herewith, including all proceeds thereof and rights in
connection therewith, which property, together with additions and substitutions,
is called the "Collateral". Holder shall have such rights with respect to the
Collateral as is authorized by law. If Obligor has other loans with Holder, or
if Obligor takes

Line of Credit Promissory Note        -2-
<PAGE>

out other loans with Holder in the future, collateral securing those loans will
also secure this Note, except that no real estate will secure this Note. Any
default in this Note shall constitute a default in any other note between Maker
and Holder, and any default in any other note shall constitute a default in this
Note. Maker, endorser, surety, guarantor, or other parties to this Note (all of
whom are hereinafter called "Obligor") jointly and severally agree as follows:

          Additions to, releases, reductions or exchanges of or substitutions
for the Collateral, payments on account of this loan or increase of the same, or
other loans made partially or wholly upon the Collateral, may from time to time
be made without affecting the provisions of this Note or the Liabilities of any
party hereto. If any of the Collateral is personal property, Holder shall
exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in
its possession, and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it
takes such action for that purpose as Maker shall reasonably request in writing,
but no omission to comply with any request of Maker shall of itself be deemed a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Holder shall not be bound to take any steps
necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, and
Maker shall take all necessary steps for such purposes. Holder or its nominee
need not collect interest on or principal of any Collateral or give any notice
with respect thereto.

          Obligor shall be in default hereunder upon the nonpayment of any
interest or principal hereunder, when due, In addition, Obligor shall be in
default hereunder if any of the following shall occur: (a) failure of any
Obligor to perform any agreement hereunder or otherwise a part of this
transaction or to pay in full, when due, any Liabilities whatsoever to Holder or
any installment thereof or interest thereon; (b) the dissolution, termination of
existence, insolvency, or business failure of any Obligor to this Note,
appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of any such party,
assignment for the benefit of creditors by or the commencement of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency by or against Maker or any Obligor; (c)
the entry of a judgment against any Obligor not satisfied or reduced to bond
within thirty (30) days; (d) the issuing of any attachment or garnishment, or
the filing of any lien against any property of any Obligor not satisfied

StrandTek International, Inc.
Line of Credit Promissory Note        -3-

<PAGE>

or reduced to bond within thirty (30) days; (e) the taking of possession of any
substantial part of the property of any Obligor at the instance of any
governmental authority; (f) falsity in any material respect of, or any material
omission in, any representation or statement made to Holder by or on behalf of
Obligor in connection with this Note or this transaction; or (g) the pledge,
assignment, transfer or granting of a security interest by any Maker of any
equity in any of the Collateral without the written consent of Holder.

          Holder shall have all the rights and remedies of a creditor,
mortgagee, and secured party under all applicable law.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any default hereunder,
Holder may at its option and without notice or demand: (a) declare the entire
unpaid principal and accrued interest accelerated and due and payable at once,
together with any and all other Liabilities of any Obligor or any of such
Liabilities selected by Holder; and (b) set off against this Note all money owed
by Holder in any capacity to each or any Obligor whether or not due, and also
set off against all other Liabilities of each Maker to Holder all money owed by
Holder in any capacity to any Maker, and Holder shall be deemed to have
exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against any such money
immediately upon the occurrence of such default although made or entered on the
books subsequent thereto.  To the extent that any of the Collateral is personal
property and the Holder elects to proceed with respect to it in accordance with
the Uniform Commercial Code, then unless that Collateral is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Holder shall give Maker reasonable notice of the time and
place of any public or private sale thereof.  The requirement of reasonable
notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to any Maker
at the address given below or at any other address shown on the records of
Holder at least five (5) days before the time of sale.  Upon disposition of any
Collateral after the occurrence of any default hereunder, Maker shall be and
shall remain liable for any deficiency; and Holder shall account to Maker for
any surplus, but Holder shall have the right to apply all or part of such
surplus (or to hold the same as a reserve) against any and all other Liabilities
of each or any Maker to Holder.

StrandTek International, Inc.

<PAGE>

          Holder may, at any time whether or not this Note is due: (a) pledge or
transfer this Note and its interest in the Collateral, whereupon Holder shall be
relieved of all duties and responsibilities hereunder and relieved from any and
all liability with respect to any Collateral so pledged or transferred, and such
pledgee or transferee shall for all purposes stand in the place of Holder
hereunder and have all the rights of Holder hereunder; (b) transfer the whole or
part of the Collateral into the name of itself or its nominee; (c) move the
Collateral; (d) notify the Obligor on any Collateral to make payment to Holder
of any amounts due or to become due thereon; (e) demand, sue for, collect, or
make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable with reference to the
Collateral; (f) take possession or control of any proceeds of the Collateral;
and (g) exercise all other rights necessary or required, in Holder's discretion,
in order to protect its interest hereunder.

          In no event shall Holder be entitled to unearned or unaccrued interest
or other charges or rebates, except as may be authorized by law; nor shall any
party be entitled to receive at any time any such charges not allowed or
permitted by law, or any interest in excess of the highest lawful rate.  Any
payments of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate shall be credited by
Holder on interest accrued or principal or both; except that Maker shall have an
option to demand refund as to any such interest or charges in excess of the
highest lawful rate.  Maker expressly waives any claim for usury without first
notifying Holder of such claim and allowing Holder to make such adjustments or
credits as provided for herein.

          No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights under
this Note. Presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and all other
notices are hereby waived by each and every Obligor. Obligor, jointly and
severally, promises and agrees to pay all costs of collection and reasonable
attorneys' fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees of any suit, out of court,
in trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, incurred or paid by
Holder in enforcing this Note or preserving any right or interest of Holder
hereunder. Any notice to Maker shall be sufficiently served for all

<PAGE>

purposes if placed in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to, or left upon the
premises, at the address shown below or any other address shown on Holder's
records.

          Each Obligor hereby expressly consents to any and all extensions,
modifications and renewals, in whole or in part including but not limited to
changes in payment schedules and interest rates, and all delays in time of
payment or other performance which Holder may grant or permit at any time and
from time to time without limitation and without any notice to or further
consent of any Obligor. Each Obligor shall also be bound by each of the
foregoing terms, and those contained in any guaranty incident to this loan
transaction are deemed to be a part of this Note, without the requirement that
Holder first go against any security interest otherwise held by Holder.

         OBLIGOR HEREBY WAIVES RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON
THIS NOTE OR ON ANY MATTER ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE.

          The interest rate charged in this Note is authorized by Chapter 665,
Florida Statutes, and Section 687.12, U.S. Code 85; Title V, Public Law 96-221.

          There are no documentary stamp tax due on the face amount of this
Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a determination be made that any
documentary stamp tax is or shall become due in connection herewith, including,
without limitation, any advances which, when added together, exceed the face
amount of this Note, Obligor shall, immediately upon request by Holder, remit
payment of such tax and Obligor shall indemnify and hold Holder harmless of and
from any and all taxes, fees, charges, or any other sums required to be paid in
connection herewith.

          All capitalized terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings given to them in that certain Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated May 24, 2000, as further amended, applicable to this Note.
