The following letter presents the key terms and conditions of the
$1,500,000 revolving credit facility which NBCI has extended
credit to 4Health.

BORROWER:         4Health, Inc.

FACILITY:         A $1,500,000 revolving loan of which the lesser
                 of $1,500,000 or the amount determined under
                  the Borrowing Base (as described below) may be
                  borrowed.

BORROWING BASE:   The calculation for determining the Borrowing
                 Base is 80% of eligible accounts receivable
                 plus 50% of eligible inventory.

                  Ineligible accounts receivable to include,
                  among other things:

                    than 90 days past invoice date.  If more
                   than 10% of the total amount owed by a
                   customer is over 90 days from invoice,
                   then the entire account is ineligible;
                  - That portion of Mass Market accounts in
                    excess of $100,000;
                  - Accounts with offsetting accounts payable
                    (contra accounts);
                  - U.S. government accounts;
                  - Accounts for bartered services;
                    Unless approved by NBCI in writing, that
                    portion of an account that exceeds 15% of
                    total accounts receivable (concentration
                    accounts).
                  - Foreign accounts (excluding Canada) without
                    foreign receivable credit insurance or
                    backed by an acceptable letter or credit,
                 - Accounts for goods not as yet shipped 
                    (prebillings), and
                  - Accounts to related parties.

                  Advances against inventory is capped at
                  $300,000.

 


                  NBCI reserves the right at any time and in
                 its sole discretion to redetermine
                 eligibility, advance rates, and
                 concentration limits.

MATURITY DATE:    The termination date of the Facility is
                  8/21/00.

COLLATERAL:       The Facility is secured by a first priority
                  interest in all accounts receivable,
                 inventory, general intangibles, and any
                 unencumbered machinery and equipment.

INTEREST RATES:   The interest rate on the Facility is Norwest
                  Bank Minnesota's Base Rate plus 2.50% payable
                  monthly in arrears and calculated on the basis
                  of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

                 The default rate of interest is 3.00% higher
                  than the rate stated above.  Norwest Bank
                  Minnesota's Base Rate shall mean the rate of
                  interest publicly announced by Norwest Bank
                  Minnesota from time to time as its Base Rate
                  (currently 8.5%).

MINIMUM INTEREST: Provided the Facility has not been terminated,
                 there shall be a $15,000 minimum quarterly
                 interest charge.

UNUSED
COMMITMENT FEE:   1/4% per annum on the average amount of the
                  Facility not borrowed, payable monthly in
                  arrears.

TERMINATION FEE:  If the Facility is refinanced prior to
                  expiration, there shall be a 3% prepayment fee
                  for the amount of the Facility during the first
                  year, 2% during the second year, and 1% during
                  the third year.  The Termination Fee shall be
                  waived if the Facility is refinanced by a
                  Norwest Bank.

PERSONAL
GUARANTEES:       None.  However, in the event that NBCI comes
                  into possession of any of Borrower's Collateral
                  by reason of the occurrence of an event of
                  default, R. Lindsey Duncan must agree to assist
                  NBCI in the disposition of such Collateral.

LOCKBOX AND
COLLATERAL 
ACCOUNT:          Borrower's receivable collections shall be
                  remitted to a lockbox.  Proceeds of the
                 lockbox, including cash receipts and
                  collections received outside of the lockbox,
                 shall be deposited daily into a "cash
                  collateral account" owned by NBCI.  After
                  allowing two days for collection and one day
                  for processing, the funds shall be applied
                 to the Facility.

QUARTERLY
COLLATERAL 
AUDITS AND 
OTHER EXPENSES:   All costs incurred by NBCI for its initial due
                  diligence audit and subsequent quarterly field
                  examinations will be billed on an hourly basis
                  per analyst (currently, $60 per hour) plus
                  actual out-of-pocket expenses.  On each
                  anniversary of the Facility, NBCI will
                  determine the maximum amount that Borrower will
                  be charged for quarterly field examinations
                  provided there is no event of default.

                  In addition to collateral audits, Borrower
                  shall be responsible for any and all reasonable
                  expenses of NBCI, including without limitation,
                  legal fees and expenses, lockbox costs, fees
                  for the wiring of loan advances ($15 per
                  advance), and the costs for any subsequent
                  amendments or documentation.

FACILITY 
DORMANCY:         Minimum quarterly interest will be reduced from
                  $15,000 to $3,750 if Borrower provides 30 days
                  advance notice that the Facility is expected to
                  remain dormant (at zero balance) for an
                  extended period of time.  While the Facility is
                  dormant, collateral audits will not be
                  performed and lockbox collections will be
                  remitted directly to Borrowers operating
                  account.  To reactivate the Facility, Borrower
                  will be required to give NBCI at least 30 days
                  notice to perform an updated collateral audit
                  prior to funding.

                  required, but not limited to the following:
