reduction in the Overadvance shall automatically reduce the maximum sum of the
Overadvance, and, in any event, the Overadvance shall be reduced to One Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) by December 31, 1999 and shall be
eliminated by March 31, 2000.

due.

         The Company may prepay all or any portion of this Note at any time or
times and in any amount only as provided in the Agreement.

may be declared immediately due and payable at the option of the Bank.

         The Company hereby authorizes any attorney-at-law to appear in any
court of record in the State of Ohio, or in any other state or territory of the
United States, at any time or times after the above sum becomes due, and waive
the issuance and service of process and confess judgment against it, in favor of
any holder of this Note, for the amount then appearing due, together with the
costs of suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of
appeal and stay of execution. The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive
any judgment, it being understood that should any judgment be vacated for any
reason, the foregoing warrant of attorney nevertheless may thereafter be used
for obtaining an additional judgment or judgments.

         No delay on the part of any holder hereof in exercising any power or
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or rights. Any demand or
notice hereunder to the Company may be made by delivering the same to the
address last known to the Bank, or by mailing the same to such address, with the
