ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.
The Coeur d'Alenes Company was first established as J. R. Marks & Co.,
in Murray, Idaho during the gold rush of 1884 as a supply house for miners.
By 1886, there were five stores in North Idaho. In 1889, they became part of
Holley, Mason, Marks & Company of Spokane, Washington. In 1892, the five
North Idaho stores were spun off by a group (including an original owner) and
incorporated under the name of The Coeur d'Alene Hardware Co. In 1913, the
major shareholders of Coeur d'Alene Ironworks put the assets of both
Companies together, and the resulting Company was incorporated under the name
of Coeur d'Alene Hardware and Foundry Company. In 1959, Coeur d'Alene
Hardware and Foundry Company changed its name to The Coeur d'Alenes Company.
In February 1993, The Coeur d'Alenes Company merged with and into an
inactive mining Company, Conjecture, Inc. ("Conjecture"), with Conjecture
being the surviving corporation but changing its name to The Coeur d'Alenes
Company ("Cd'A" or the "Company") immediately following the merger.
Conjecture was incorporated in 1954 under the original name Conjecture Mines,
Inc., but changed its name to Conjecture, Inc. in 1989.
Cd'A, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Union Iron Works, Inc.
of Spokane (dba Cd'A Stock Steel), is engaged in the business of the
distribution, processing and fabrication of steel, other metals and related
products. In early 1993 Conjecture's unpatented mining claims lapsed and,
since the merger, Cd'A has sold Conjecture's remaining patented mining
claims. As a result, Cd'A is no longer involved in the mining business on
even an inactive basis.
In the last five or six years, as part of its strategic plan, Cd'A has
implemented various changes in order to shift its business emphasis and focus
away from higher volume, lower margin business (involving a lesser value
added component in the form of fabrication, processing or other services) and
more towards a lower volume, higher margin business (involving a greater
value added component in the form of fabrication, processing or other
services). As a result of these changes, a significant amount of Cd'A's
revenue is currently generated by the value added and service aspects of this
business.
In October 1993, Cd'A made a significant acquisition of assets when it
purchased the property at which its distribution business is located for
approximately $1,150,000, with the seller providing most of the financing.
During September, 1995, construction began on a new facility at the same
location intended to house the fabrication and processing business. A
construction loan from the Seafirst bank in the amount of $1,678,728 was used
to pay off the seller provided financing and provide 75 percent of the cost
of construction. As of the end of September, 1996, the facility was complete
and the business relocated. During August, 1996, construction began to
remodel and enlarge the office space located on the same property. The total
cost is expected to be approximately $250,000. The project will be completed
in December 1996. See Item 2 and 6.
<PAGE>
(B) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Cd'A is based in Spokane, Washington and conducts its operations at two
facilities located on the same property in Spokane. In an effort to increase
the efficiency of its operations, in 1992 Cd'A reorganized to devote the
entire facility then located at the Spokane Industrial Park location to
fabrication and processing operations, for which it is best suited. As part
of this reorganization, the inventory associated with Cd'A's distribution
operations was relocated from that facility to a second facility out of which
its wholly-owned subsidiary conducts distribution operations. The
fabrication and processing operations formerly conducted at the Spokane
Industrial Park facility generally consist of the custom production of
finished metal structures or products (or components thereof) in accordance
with a customer's specifications. The fabrication and processing operations
include activities such as cutting, bending, drilling, riveting, welding, and
assembling. The items produced by the fabrication and processing operations
vary depending upon the nature of a customer's order, but in the past have
included such items as baghouses (which trap emissions from factories or
other manufacturing facilities), crucibles, potshells and liners for
aluminum, magnesium or other metal producers, slurry impellers for industry
and structural metal supports for highway signs. The distribution operations
generally consist of the resale of stock metal materials purchased from mills
with no further processing or other services or only limited further
processing or other services, such as cutting stock metal materials to a
customer's specifications (component parts) or delivery to a customer's
location. Metal materials in various types, grades, shapes and sizes are
sold by the distribution operations, including such items as beams, bars,
plates, sheets, angles, tubes, pipes and gratings. The distribution
operations are referred to in the industry and sometimes referred to herein
as a steel service center.
During 1993, Cd'A determined that the available fabrication and
processing business did not warrant a building as large as the Spokane
Industrial Park facilities. The Company relocated the fabrication and
processing business at that building to smaller, even better suited
facilities on the property at 3900 E Broadway recently purchased for the
distribution business. See item 2.
Cd'A is not dependent on a single supplier or a small number of
suppliers. Over time, it has purchased from domestic mills, foreign mills or
a combination thereof, depending upon mill prices, transportation costs and
foreign currency exchange rates.
Cd'A's customers are primarily industrial in nature. Although the mix
of Cd'A's customers varies over time, a substantial portion of Cd'A's sales
in the recent past has been to customers engaged in the agriculture, lumber,
construction, mining, metal producing, or other manufacturing industries.
Since there is turnover among Cd'A's customers (especially in the
fabrication and processing business which is on a job to job basis and often
involves relatively large jobs), over any given period, the business of a few
customers may represent a significant portion of Cd'A's business. In fiscal
1996 and 1995 one customer amounted to 16% and 15% of total sales. The loss
of this large customer could have a significant adverse effect on the
immediate business of Cd'A especially in those situations where it results in
the loss of large fabrication and processing jobs which had been awarded to
Cd'A. The turnover among customers, however, means that any
<PAGE>
such adverse effect on the business of Cd'A over the longer term will be more
attenuated. Nonetheless, it is still important for Cd'A to retain any such
large customers.
The primary market area served by Cd'A is the Pacific Northwest.
Although the market area also fluctuates somewhat over time, currently the
biggest market area in terms of sales is the Inland Northwest (Eastern
Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana). The geographical market
area of Cd'A is somewhat constrained by high relative transportation costs
associated with delivery to customers of products it sells. The
transportation cost component, however, is a more significant factor for the
steel service center operations than for the fabrication and processing
operations because of the higher value added component and potential for
higher margins in the fabrication and processing business. Cd'A markets its
products throughout the Inland Northwest through sales representatives who
cover this territory.
Cd'A's steel service center business faces stiff competition, both from
other steel service centers (mainly those located in or near Cd'A's market
area due to transportation costs) and, for larger orders not requiring
additional processing or other services, from the mills themselves (not
necessarily limited to those located in or near Cd'A's market area since
transportation costs from the mill to Cd'A and from Cd'A to the customer may
be approximately the same as transportation costs from the mill directly to
the customer). Cd'A's fabrication and processing business also faces stiff
competition from other fabrication and processing businesses, primarily those
located in the West and Midwest but also to a lesser but recently increased
extent, those located in other areas of the United States. Again,
transportation costs somewhat constrain the size of the geographical market
area for competing fabrication and processing operations, although as
mentioned above this is a less significant factor than for steel service
center operations. Relatively high transportation costs have not had and are
not anticipated to have, a significant impact on Cd'A's operations because,
as mentioned above, the competition in the area generally is faced with the
same costs. In addition, to the extent that the fabrication and processing
business market has been in Western Washington where much of the competition
is located, the cost of living and therefore labor rate differentials
generally were enough to offset the higher transportation cost of Cd'A.
Cd'A's steel service center business has larger working capital
requirements than the fabrication and processing business. Cd'A is required
to carry significant amounts of inventory (generally three to four months
worth) in the steel service center business in order to provide just-in-time
delivery for its customers. Although Cd'A provides rights to return
materials, materials returned to Cd'A after sale for reasons other than
quality of product or service are subject to a restocking charge. Cd'A
experiences a very limited amount of returned goods. Customer payment terms
are primarily net 30 days. Ten day payment discounts are offered to some
customers. The fabrication and processing business requires much smaller
working capital for work in process inventory.
Both the steel service center business and the fabrication and
processing business are dependent on local, regional and, to a lesser extent,
national economic conditions. The cyclical nature of these businesses makes
it necessary for Cd'A to constantly watch the economic indicators in order to
adjust capacity and inventory appropriately. Failure to anticipate a
<PAGE>
downturn or upturn can have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows
because capacity and inventory may be too high in a downturn resulting in a
higher cost structure and increased cash flow pressures and too low in an
upturn resulting in lost sales.
Cd'A has generally not experienced a material seasonal effect on its
business. The Company's two major areas of business, steel distribution and
steel fabrication and processing are counter cyclical.
Cd'A has no material patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises,
concessions or royalty agreements. Cd'A fabrication and processing business
has a labor contract with Teamsters Local #582 which expired in April 1995.
The labor contract has terms comparable to those of similarly situated
Companies, and does not contain any terms which management believes will have
a significant adverse effect on Cd'A's business. In the absence of a new
labor agreement, the Company is, at present, continuing to apply the terms
and conditions of the expired contract. Labor negotiations continue with
Teamsters Local #582. Cd'A anticipates that the issues remaining to be
settled will be resolved without a significant adverse effect on the Company.
Cd'A fabrication and processing business had a labor contract with
Ironworkers Local #506 which expired in August 1995. The Company continued
to apply the terms and conditions of the expired contract while attempting to
negotiate a new, mutually agreeable contract. In December 1996 the employees
who were members of the Ironworkers union elected to decertify and are no
longer covered by a labor contract.
Various environmental laws and regulations apply to Cd'A's operations.
Cd'A is not aware of any environmental law or regulation claim by any
governmental authority or regulatory body with which it has not complied. At
this time, it is not expected that federal, state or local environmental laws
or regulations will have a material adverse effect on the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Cd'A. Cd'A has not made
any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during
the current or prior two fiscal years, nor is it currently anticipated that
Cd'A will make any material capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities during the next fiscal year.
Cd'A is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations
which would have a material adverse effect on Cd'A's business.
Cd'A currently has 71 total employees (41 in the steel service center
business and 30 in the fabrication and processing business) and 70 full time
employees (40 in the steel service center business and 30 in the fabrication
and processing business).
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Cd'A conducts its operations out of two facilities located at 3900 E.
Broadway in Spokane WA. Each of the two facilities is approximately 42,150
square feet for a total of approximately 84,300 sq ft. The fabrication and
processing business occupies approximately 30,000 square feet in the most
recently constructed building, with the steel service center business
occupying the remaining 54,300 square feet. The property was purchased by
Cd'A in October 1993 with approximately 45,000 square feet of building
including approximately 3,000 square feet of office space. An additional
42,150 square foot facility was added during the fiscal year ended September
1996. Cd'A is currently expanding and remodeling the office space.
The facilities have a first lien in favor of a bank securing a
promissory note in the amount of approximately $1,679,000 for the
construction loan at September 28, 1996 and a second lien in favor of the
holders of convertible debentures in the amount of $128,000. See Item 5 and
6.
Management believes that the fabrication and processing business needs
additional working space and is currently in the process of adding
approximately 8,000 square feet under crane on the end of the existing
facility. Initially the space will not be enclosed but could be in the
future if the work load indicates the need.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Cd'A is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings, nor is
any of its property subject to any material pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the last fiscal year through solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(a) MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK. Although the common stock of Cd'A having
no par value, is traded on the over-the-counter market based in Spokane,
Washington, there is currently no established public trading market for Cd'A
common stock. Since July 1, 1993, Cd'A common stock has been traded on this
over-the-counter market, with the primary basis consisting of limited
quotations by Sandberg Securities and Empire Securities, two securities
broker-dealers based in Spokane, Washington. The range of high and low bid
quotations for Cd'A common stock, by quarters, for the period beginning
October 1, 1994 through September 30, 1996 are set forth in dollars per share
below:
1996 1995
High - Low High - Low
July 1 - September 30 $.15 - $.16 $.15 - $.10
April 1 - June 30 $.15 - $.15 $.16 - $.15
January 1 - March 31 $.15 - $.15 $.16 - $.16
October 1 - December 31 $.15 - $.15 $.16 - $.15
The source of the above quotations is the Spokane over-the-counter
listing, and the above quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions. In addition, the lack of an established public trading market
for Cd'A common stock should be kept in mind in reviewing the above
quotations. The prices shown are reflective of limited transactions.
(b) HOLDERS. As of December 1, 1996, there were approximately 1,250
holders of record of Cd'A common stock.
(c) DIVIDENDS. In the last two fiscal years, Cd'A has not declared or
paid any dividend on Cd'A common stock or the previously authorized common
stock of Cd'A outstanding prior to the merger. Cd'A is restricted under the
terms of its bank loan agreement from paying dividends in an amount greater
than 10% of net income without the prior approval of the bank lender.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN
OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company anticipates that it will continue operating the steel
distribution business and the fabrication and processing business much as it
has for the past two years during the twelve month period beginning September
29, 1996 and ending September 27, 1997. Gross margins as a
7
<PAGE>
percent of sales likely will be comparable to the year just ended, although
expected declines in the replacement cost on certain plate products could
have a temporary adverse effect. The overall impact of the declining
replacement costs is expected to be small and manageable. The economic
climate in the Company's market area is similar to last year, allowing Cd'A
to anticipate a fairly strong demand for its products in the current year.
During October 1993, the Company purchased the real estate occupied by
the Steel Service Center business and sold convertible debentures in a
private placement in order to raise the down payment. The purchase price of
the property was $1,150,000 with the seller initially carrying a note for
$950,000.
The offering was for $250,000 with $200,000 used for the down payment and
$50,000 used to purchase computer hardware. Interest accrues on the
outstanding balance of the debentures at the rate of 9-1/4%. The debentures
are due on October 31, 1998 and are secured by a second lien on the real
estate. The debentures allow the holder to convert in whole or in part after
October 31, 1994. The initial conversion price was $.125 per share of Cd'A
common stock. On November 1 in each of 1995, 1996 and 1997, the conversion
price is increased by an amount equal to 20% of the initial conversion price.
As of December 1, 1996, $122,000 of the debentures have converted at the
initial conversion price of $.125 per share, resulting in 976,000 additional
shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company may, at its
option, call any or all of the outstanding debentures for redemption after
January 2, 1994.
During September 1995, the Company began construction on an additional
facility located on the property next to the steel service center. The
Company obtained a construction loan from a bank which was used to finance
the construction and repay the remaining balance of the note payable to the
seller. The construction loan is secured with a first lien on the property.
The Seafirst has secured the construction loan with a first lien on the
property. At the conclusion of the building construction, including office
expansion and remodeling, the loan can be converted to a permanent loan with
a twenty year amortization period and a ten year balloon payment. The
agreement allows the Company to choose a fixed or variable rate of interest
at the time the loan is converted. Management anticipates that an additional
$250,000 will be advanced on the construction loan to finance the office
construction before the loan is converted to a permanent loan.
The operating lease on the Spokane Industrial Park premises expired in
May, 1996. The Company is continuing to lease on a month to month basis
while the office space at 3900 E. Broadway is being prepared and while the
premises at the Industrial Park are being restored to their original state.
The additional cost involved with vacating the premises at the Industrial
Park are estimated to be approximately $60,000. An auction of surplus
equipment held on November 19, 1996 will provide most of the capital
necessary to complete the move. The Company has vacated the premises as of
December 1996.
Cd'A plans to continue to expend very limited research and development
funds to market a tarping system primarily for use on railroad cars. The
design is intended to withstand all kinds of weather and travel conditions.
After several revisions from the initial concept, two tarps are currently in
their second year of use on Union Pacific railroad cars. Interest in the
tarps continues
8
<PAGE>
to increase, but the ownership of the railroad cars by an entity other than
the party interested in the tarps continues to impede the marketing effort.
Management estimates that an additional $5,000 will be spent to adapt the
concept to the trucking industry where the customer will be obvious. The
financing for the project will come from internally generated funds.
During the year ended September 28, 1996, cash decreased by
approximately $59,000. Operating activities generated $198,000 in cash flow,
or approximately $154,000 less than the prior fiscal year. The decrease was
primarily the result of higher levels of inventory of approximately $412,000
(mostly work in process) and increased accounts receivable of $189,000 due to
strong third quarter sales volume. Additions to property and equipment in
the amount of $1,376,000 contributed materially to the decrease in cash.
Cash was provided by net income of $290,000 as well as an increase in
accounts payable in the amount of approximately $313,000 and long term
borrowing in the amount of approximately $1,050,000. Comparing cash sources
to the prior fiscal year, the cash was primarily provided by fiscal 1995
operations as a result of net income and reductions in accounts receivable
levels. Higher inventory levels and additions to property and equipment were
major uses of cash.
Working capital at approximately $1,600,000 remained fairly constant
compared to the prior fiscal year.
Cd'A is very dependent on external sources of funding in the forms of
operating lines of credit and long term property and equipment loans. As of
the end of the fiscal year ended in September, 1996, Cd'A has an operating
line of credit in the amount of $1,850,000 at the Seafirst Bank. The
operating line expires March 1, 1997. In the event that it is not possible
to renew the operating line, it would be necessary for Cd'A to raise capital
through stock issuances, bond sales or other available means. Management,
however, does not anticipate a significant problem in renewing the operating
line next March on substantially the same terms and conditions as the current
line.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an etitiy be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. The measurement of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to
hold and use should be based on the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 121 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's financial statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which requires that
companies recognize the cost of stock-based employee compensation plans based
on the fair value of the stock options. SFAS
9
<PAGE>
No. 123 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, and is expected to have no impact on the
Company's financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage
of revenues represented by certain items reflected in the Company's
statements of income:
Year Ended
September
28, 1996 30, 1995
Net Sales 100.00% 100.00%
Cost of Sales 71.86% 72.09%
Gross Profit 28.14% 27.91%
Selling, General & Administrative Expense 24.43% 24.21%
Operating Income 3.71% 3.70%
Interest Income .18% .19%
Interest Expense (1.67%) (1.52%)
Other Income 1.16% .83%
Income Before Income Taxes 3.38% 3.20%
Income Tax Expense (1.06%) (1.09%)
Net Income 2.32% 2.11%
FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995
Net sales increased 3.16% to $12,499,000 in fiscal 1996 from $12,116,000
in fiscal 1995. The increase is primarily the result of a 8.91% sales volume
increase in the fabrication and processing business. The steel distribution
business contributed also, but to a lesser extent with a 1.48% increase in
net sales for the year. In fiscal 1996, fabrication and processing sales of
approximately $2,995,000 were 23.96% of the total Company's sales, compared
to 22.70% in fiscal 1995 at approximately $2,750,000. Net sales of the steel
distribution business were approximately $9,504,000 in fiscal 1996,
representing 76.04% of total net sales, compared to approximately $9,365,000
in fiscal 1995 and 77.30% of total net sales. The increase in metal
fabrication and processing sales was due to some large research and
development projects for a major customer. The increase in the distribution
sales was primarily the result of increased service to existing customers.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 71.86% for
fiscal 1996 compared to 72.09% for fiscal 1995. The slight decline was due
to continuing focus on cost containment. Cost of sales for the fabrication
and processing business at 61.83% of sales for fiscal 1996 actually increased
slightly from 60.75% for fiscal 1995. Some fluctuation is common due to the
continuously changing types of jobs. The metal distribution business
completed the year with cost of sales at 76.06% compared to 76.44% for fiscal
1995. The resulting gross margins of 38.17% for the fabrication and
processing business and 23.94% for the metal
10 <PAGE>
distribution business during fiscal 1996 compare to 39.25% for the
fabrication and processing business and 23.94% for the metal distribution
business during fiscal 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$120,000 during fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995. The increase of 4.08%
was anticipated and primarily the result of the inefficiencies of working
around the construction project.
Interest expense increased by approximately $25,000 to $209,000 in fiscal
1996 from $184,000 in fiscal 1995. The increase was the result of higher
average outstanding balances on the operating line of credit. In
anticipation of the need for a down payment on the newly constructed
facility, operating profits and cash generated on the sale of surplus
equipment was used to pay down the operating line. During fiscal 1996 the
money was used to finance the building project.
Other income increased by approximately $44,000 to $145,391 in fiscal
1996 from $101,101 in fiscal 1995. The increase was due to a settlement by a
vendor of a business interruption claim.
Federal income tax expense of $133,000 for fiscal 1996 compares to
$132,000 for fiscal 1995. The effective tax rate of 31.37% was slightly
lower for fiscal 1996 than the 34.00% rate for fiscal 1995.
At September 28, 1996, the Company has a deferred long-term tax liability
of $44,403 resulting primarily from the use of accelerated methods of
depreciation of fixed assets and a deferred tax asset of $70,450 resulting
from vacation accrual and allowance for bad debts. The Company believes it
is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized as a
result of projected future operating income and the reversal of deferred
temporary differences.
Various factors discussed above resulted in net income of $290,000 for
fiscal 1996 compared to $257,000 for fiscal 1995.
SUMMARY
During the past five or six years, Cd'A has made significant changes in
the structure of its operations in response to changing market conditions:
the shift in business emphasis to lower volume, higher margin business, the
physical
reorganization of its operations along business lines (fabrication and
processing versus distribution), the addition of more efficient equipment and
the utilization of property owned by the Company to replace leased premises.
During the 1996 fiscal year the Company moved the fabrication and processing
business to the same location as the distribution business which is a major
supply source. The move will make the operations more efficient and
eliminate the need for duplicate equipment. Management believes that this
next step in the reorganization process will allow the Company to take
advantage of the counter cyclical nature of the two business lines without
requiring duplicate handling and overhead necessitated by the distance which
separated the two businesses. Management believes that the distribution
11
<PAGE>
business will continue to experience moderate to strong demand throughout the
1997 fiscal year. The processing and fabrication business will continue to
develop its market niche and expand its customer base. The process of change
is ongoing as Cd'A remains attuned to changing customer needs thereby
continuously identifying new opportunities. During fiscal 1997 the Company
will consolidate the office staff from the Industrial Park with the office
staff at the 3900 E. Broadway location. Management believes this will also
result in additional efficiencies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Coeur d'Alenes Company and Subsidiary
Spokane, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Coeur
d'Alenes Company and Subsidiary as of September 28, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of The Coeur d'Alenes Company and Subsidiary at September 28, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PRINCIPLES OF The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the
CONSOLIDATION accounts of The Coeur d'Alenes Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Union Iron Works, Inc. (collectively referred to
as "the Company"). Union Iron Works, Inc. ("the
Subsidiary") is doing business as Stock Steel. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in
consolidation.
NATURE OF The Company is engaged in the distribution, processing and
BUSINESS fabrication of steel and related products to customer
specifications. Most of the Company's business activity is
with customers located within the Pacific Northwest.
During the years ended September 28, 1996 and September 30,
1995, the Company had sales to a major customer of
$1,949,000 and $1,854,000, respectively, which represent 16%
and 15% of total sales for those years.
FISCAL YEAR The Company's fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending
on
the last Saturday in September. Fiscal 1996 and 1995 were
52 and 53 week years, respectively.
CASH AND For purposes of balance sheet classification and the
statements
CASH of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid short-
EQUIVALENTS term investments having an original maturity of three months
or
less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is
determined by using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for
processing and fabrication steel inventories. The first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method of pricing is used for all other
inventories, which are composed primarily of steel service
center stock.
PROPERTY, Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
EQUIPMENT AND computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over
DEPRECIATION estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to
20 years.
<PAGE>
REVENUE AND Sales are recorded and customers are billed when products
are
COST shipped or projects are completed. Costs of orders and
RECOGNITION projects are recorded in the same accounting period as
related
sales.
INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). SFAS
No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the expected future income tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in a
company's financial statements. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
temporary differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse.
EARNINGS PER The primary earnings per common share is computed by
dividing
COMMON SHARE the Company's net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
Earnings per share - assuming full dilution was determined
on the assumptions that the convertible debentures were
converted as of the first day the year and net earnings were
adjusted for the interest expense on the debentures, net of
its tax effect.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the years ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995,
was 5,273,127 and 4,377,577 shares, for calculation of
primary
earnings per common share. See Note 9 as to fully diluted
earnings per share.
MANAGEMENT The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
ESTIMATES generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions
<PAGE>
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet as of
FINANCIAL September 28, 1996 for cash, accounts and notes receivables,
INSTRUMENTS short-term bank borrowings, accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or
short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair
value of debt payable to related parties is approximately
$145,000 based on the estimated fair value of the common
stock into which the debt is convertible. The carrying
amount of long-term debt approximates its fair value as
substantially all of the debt have interest rates which
change with market interest rates.
NEW ACCOUNTING In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued
PRONOUNCEMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" which requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and
identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold and
use should be based on the fair value of the asset. SFAS
No. 121 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, and is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which
requires that companies recognize the cost of stock-based
employee compensation plans based on the fair value of the
stock options. SFAS No. 123 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995, and is expected to have no impact on the Company's
financial statements.

Other inventories, at FIFO 2,147,375 2,034,641
Total inventories $ 2,788,654 $2,376,105
2. SHORT-TERM BANK BORROWINGS
The Company has $1.85 million in a bank credit line available for revolving
credit requirements which is subject to renewal on March 1, 1997. Interest
is charged at the lender's prime rate plus 0.325% (8.57% at September 28,
1996). Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by accounts receivable and
inventories.
<PAGE>
Short-term borrowing activity was as follows:
1996 1995
Balance outstanding at year-end $ 863,477 $ 772,064
Weighted average interest rate at
year-end 8.57% 9.07%
Maximum amount outstanding

Average amount outstanding $ 894,237 $ 658,463
Weighted average interest rate
during the year 8.80% 9.19%
The weighted average interest rate and monthly balances are computed using
the end of month borrowings outstanding and the related end of month interest
rate. The month end balances and interest rates are averaged to determine the
yearly weighted average balance of borrowings and the weighted average
interest rate for the year.
The credit line agreement contains covenants under which the Company may not
declare or pay dividends in excess of 10% of annual net (after tax) profit,
purchase property and equipment in excess of $1.4 million in the fiscal year
ended September 28, 1996 or enter into mergers, acquisitions or any major
sales of assets or corporate reorganizations without prior consent by the
bank. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios
concerning working capital, debt to equity, and a minimum tangible net worth
of $2,000,000. At September 28, 1996 the Company was in compliance with all
of its bank covenants.

<PAGE>
The $1,678,728 note payable to a bank contains a provision which allows the
Company to convert the balance outstanding at maturity to a note having a ten
year repayment term. As the Company intends to exercise this conversion
feature, the amount outstanding at September 28, 1996 has been classified as
long-term debt.
Scheduled long-term debt maturities as of September 28, 1996 are as follows:
YEAR ENDING AMOUNT
September 27, 1997 $ 75,821
September 26, 1998 88,737

agreement. The debentures require semi-annual interest payments at 9.25%,
are secured by land and building, and are due on October 31, 1998. The
debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a

34.0%
At September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company has
a deferred long-term tax liability of $44,403 and $46,768
resulting primarily from the use of accelerated methods of
depreciation of fixed assets, and a deferred tax asset of

allowance for bad debts. No valuation allowance is recorded
since the Company believes it is more likely than not that it
will realize the deferred tax asset.

steel products up to nine months in advance of anticipated
deliveries. Outstanding firm purchase commitments at
September 28, 1996 aggregated $1,135,000. Negotiated firm

substantial part of its property, commences any proceeding relating
to the arrangement, readjustment, reorganization or liquidation
under any bankruptcy or similar laws, or if there is commenced
against Borrower any such proceedings which remain undismissed for
a period of thirty (30) days or, if Borrower by any act indicates
its consent or acquiescence in any such proceeding or the
appointment of any such trustee or receiver;
+7.6 Any judgment attaches against Borrower or any of its properties for
an amount in excess of $25,000 which remains unpaid, unstayed on

opinion of Bank, will adversely affect Borrower's condition,
operations or ability to repay the loan and/or line of credit;
7.8 Failure of Bank to have a legal, valid and binding first lien on, or

credit under this Agreement, or such guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, unless the obligations arising under the guaranty and
related agreements have been unconditionally assumed by the
guarantor's estate in a manner satisfactory to Bank.
8. SUCCESSORS; WAIVERS. Notwithstanding the Events of Default above, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and
Bank, their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may
not assign its rights hereunder. No consent or waiver under this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank
and shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or
subsequent thereto, and whether of the same or different type. No delay
or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.
9. Arbitration.
9.1 At the request of either Bank or Borrower any controversy or claim
between the Bank and Borrower, arising from or relating to this
Agreement or any Loan Document executed in connection with this
Agreement or arising from any alleged tort shalt be settled by
arbitration in King County Washington. The United States Arbitration Act will
apply to the arbitration proceedings which will be administered by the
American Arbitration Association under its commercial rules of arbitration
except that unless the amount of the claim(s) being arbitrated exceeds
$5,000,000 there shall be only one arbitrator. Any controversy over whether
an issue is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment
upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
The institution and maintenance of any action for judicial relief
or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver
of the fight of either party, including plaintiff, to submit the controversy
or claim to arbitration if such action for judicial relief is contested.
For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations the
filing of an arbitration as provided herein is the equivalent of
filing a lawsuit and the arbitrator(s) will have the authority to
decide whether any claim or controversy is barred by the statute of
limitations, and if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis.
The parties consent to the joinder in the arbitration proceedings
of any guarantor, hypothecator or other party having an interest
related to the claim or controversy being arbitrated.
9.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, no controversy or
claim shall be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all
parties if at the time of the proposed submission, such controversy
or claim arises from or relates to an obligation secured by real
property;
9.3 No provision of this Section 9 shall limit the right of the
Borrower or the Bank to exercise self-help remedies such as setup
foreclosure or sale of any collateral, or obtaining any ancillary
provisional or interim remedies from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any
arbitration proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy does not
waive the right of either party to request arbitration. At Bank's
option foreclosure under any deed of trust may be accomplished by
exercise of the power of sale under the deed of trust or judicial
foreclosure as a mortgage.
10. COLLECTION ACTIVITIES, LAWSUITS AND GOVERNING LAW. Borrower agrees to
pay Bank all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees
and the allocated cost for in-house legal services incurred by Bank), to
enforce
this Agreement, any notes or any Loan Documents pursuant to this Agreement,
whether or not suit is instituted. If suit is instituted by Bank to
enforce this Agreement or any of these documents, Borrower consents to
the personal jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Washington and
Federal Courts located in the State of Washington. Borrower further
consents to the venue of this suit, being laid in King County,
Washington. This Agreement and any notes and security agreements entered
into pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Washington.
+11. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. This Agreement supersedes all oral negotiations
or agreements between Bank and Borrower with respect to the subject
matter hereof and constitutes the entire understanding and Agreement of
the matters set forth in this Agreement.
11.1 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable,then (a) such provision shall be deemed modified if
possible, or if not possible, such provision shall be deemed
stricken, and (b) all other provisions shall remain in full force
and effect.
11.2 If the imposition of or any change in any law, rule, or regulation
guideline or the interpretation or application of any thereof by
any court of administrative or governmental authority (including
any request or policy whether or not having the force of law) shall
impose or modify any taxes (except U.S. federal, state or local
income or franchise taxes imposed on Bank), reserve requirements,
capital adequacy requirements or other obligations which would: (a)
increase the cost to Bank for extending or maintaining any loans
and/or line of credit to which this Agreement relates, (b) reduce
the amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement, such notes and
other instruments, or (c) reduce the rate of return on Bank's
capital as a consequence of Bank's obligations with respect to any
loan and/or line of credit to which this Agreement relates, then
Borrower agrees to pay Bank such additional amounts as will
compensate Bank therefor, within five (5) days after Bank's written
demand for such payment, which demand shall be accompanied by an
explanation of such imposition or charge and a calculation in
reasonable detail of the additional amounts payable by Borrower,
which explanation and calculations shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
11.3 Bank may sell participations in or assign this loan in whole
or in part without notice to Borrower and Bank may provide
information regarding the Borrower and this Agreement to any
prospective participant or assignee. If a participation is sold or

right of set off against the Borrower and may enforce its interest
in the Loan irrespective of any claims or defenses the Borrower may
have against the Bank.

party's signature below or as that party may otherwise specify in
writing.

Loan No. 604938 and 453817-
9 PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,688,000.00 December 20,
1995
Seattle,
Washington
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Maker") promise(s) to pay to the order
of SEATTLE-FIRST NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association ("Lender"), at
its principal office in Seattle, Washington, or at such other place or places
or to such other party as the "molder" (defined below) of this Note may from
time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of ONE MILLION SIX
HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUSAND AND NO/00 DOLLARS ($ 1,688,000.00), or so much
thereof as may be advanced, in lawful money of the United States of America,
together with interest thereon, on the following agreements, terms and
conditions. The term "Holder" as used in this Note means Lender or any future
holder of this Note, and their successors and assigns.
1. TERM. This Note shall have an initial term (the "CONSTRUCTION TERM")
expiring ten (10) months from the first day of the first calendar month
following the initial advance by the Holder under this Note. The last day of
the Construction Term is referred to in this Note as the "MATURITY DATE". If
Maker is not then in default under this Note or any other documents or
instruments executed by Maker in connection with the loan (the "LOAN")
evidenced by this Note (collectively with this Note, the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"),
on or before the last day of the Construction Term, the Loan shall convert to
a permanent loan (the "PERMANENT LOAN") if Maker has complied with the
following conditions, and with all other conditions as may be specified in
any other Loan Document:
(a) Maker shall have provided the Holder with current financial
statements of Maker, any general partner in Maker and any guarantor of the
Loan, each certified as correct by the appropriate party, showing no material
adverse change in any such person's or entity's financial condition from the
date of this Note, and otherwise acceptable to the Holder in its sole
discretion;
(b) Maker is not then in default under this Note or any other Loan
Document,
(c) The improvements to be constructed with the proceeds of the Loan
shall have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications for
the improvements approved by Lender and a certificate of occupancy shall have
been issued by the applicable governmental authority allowing the use and
occupancy of the improvements for their intended purposes; and
(d) Maker shall have complied with such other conditions to the
conversion as the Holder may reasonably require and specify in writing prior
to the date of the conversion.
If the Loan is converted to the Permanent Loan as provided above, the
Maturity Date shall be extended to that date which is one hundred twenty
(120) months from the first day of the first calendar month following the
date of the conversion unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Holder.
2. INTEREST. Interest shall commence to run on each advance under this
Note from the date of the advance and will be computed on the outstanding
balance of this Note as it exists from time to time at the interest rates
provided for in subparagraphs 2(a) and 2(b) below, as applicable. After
maturity, or after default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of this Note at an interest rate equal to four percentage
points (4%) per annum above the interest rate otherwise applicable to this
Note.
(a) CONSTRUCTION TERM INTEREST. During the Construction Term, the
principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a per annum interest
rate equal to the sum of the publicly
<PAGE>
announced prime rate (the "PRIME RATE") of Lender, as the same may change
from time to time, plus three hundred twenty-five one- thousandths of one
percentage point (0.325%) per annum. Interest rate adjustments caused by
changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective the same day as the adjustments
to the Prime Rate are effective. Interest on this Note during the
Construction Term shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed in the period for which interest is payable.
(b) PERMANENT LOAN INTEREST. If the Loan converts to the Permanent Loan,
interest shall accrue on the principal balance of this Note either at a
variable interest rate as provided in subparagraph 2(b)(i) below (the
"VARIABLE RATE"), or at a fixed interest rate as provided in subparagraph
2(b)(ii) below (the "FIXED RATE"). After conversion to the Permanent Loan,
interest on this Note shall be calculated using a 30-day month and a 360-day
year.
(i) VARIABLE RATE. Unless Maker elects to have interest calculated at
the Fixed Rate pursuant to subparagraph 2(b)(ii) below, interest shall accrue
on the principal balance of this Note at the Variable Rate. The initial
Variable Rate shall be equal to the "LIBOR INDEX" (defined below) as of the
date the Loan converts to the Permanent Loan, plus two and three-fourths
percentage points (2.750%) per annum, rounded to the next highest one-eighth
of one percent (0.125%). The Variable Rate, if applicable, will change five
(5) months after the first payment date stated in subparagraph 3(b) below,
and every sixth (6th) month thereafter (each such date being referred to in
this Note as an "INTEREST CHANGE DATE").
(1) LIBOR Index - Current Index - Changes in the Variable Rate
will be based on changes in the 180-day LIBOR as defined below (the "LIBOR
Index"). If the LIBOR Index is no longer available, the Holder will choose a
new index based upon comparable information and give Maker notice of the
choice. The most recently available LIBOR Index fifteen (15) Business Days
before each Interest Change Date is the "Current Index" .
(2) Calculation of Variable Rate - Before each Interest Change
Date, if applicable, the Holder will calculate the new Variable Rate which
shall be equal to the Current Index, plus two and three-fourths percentage
points (2.750%) per annum, rounded to the next highest one-eighth of one
percent (0.125%). This new interest rate will be the Variable Rate until the
next Interest Change Date.
(3) LIBOR means the London Interbank Offer Rate, adjusted at the
Holder's option for statutory reserves, deposit insurance, regulatory
capital, taxes and assessments, if any, and is the average of the rates of
interest, on a per annum basis, at which deposits in United States dollars
having a term of 180 days are offered by major banks in immediately available
funds to prime banks in the London Interbank market at 11:00 A.M. (London
time) on the date the Loan converts to a Permanent Loan, for the day which is
fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Change Date, as
applicable. This rate is reported on Telerate, a national and international
medium which provides interest rate quotations daily, as quoted by the
British Bankers Association as Interest Settlement Rates on page 3750 (or
such other page as may replace it). Such interest rate quotation, as provided
by Telerate, shall be deemed conclusive and final with respect to LIBOR
determinations for so long as Telerate continues to make such interest rate
reports. If Telerate or the British Bankers Association report is no longer
available for 180-day maturities, a comparable publication or report
containing such information selected by the Holder will be used. If there is
no such publication or comparable publication containing such information,
the 180-day LIBOR shall be the average rate (rounded if necessary to the
nearest one-thousandth of a percent) at which dollar deposits having a
maturity of 180 days are offered by at least two major banks in an interbank
market where Eurodollars are being traded to prime banks in immediately
available funds on the LIBOR determination date described above or as soon
thereafter as such offer quotes can be obtained.
(4) Business Day means a day on which commercial banks are
generally open for business in Seattle, Washington and London, England.
(5) The amount of adjustment for reserves, deposit insurance,
regulatory capital, taxes and assessments may change on any Interest Change
Date depending on such charges then being assessed against the Holder. Such
charges may change due to various factors,
2
<PAGE>
including but not limited to, changes in the requirements for reserves and
capital adequacy promulgated by the Federal Reserve System of the United
States and/or other state and federal regulatory agencies, statutory changes
affecting the Holder, and/or imposition of taxes, FDIC fees and/or
assessments. Each determination of an adjustment amount shall be made by the
holder in its sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and
binding upon Maker and shall be determined without benefit of or credit for
prorations, exceptions or offsets that may be available to the Holder frown
time to time.
(ii) FIXED RATE. Prior to the date the Loan converts to the Permanent
Loan, Maker may elect by written notice to the Holder to have interest on the
entire principal amount of this Note calculated for the entire term of the
Permanent Loan at a Fixed Rate, as provided below. Further, so long as Maker
is not in default under the terms of this Note or any Loan Document, at any
time after the Loan converts to the Permanent Loan, Maker at its option, and
upon the payment of a fee to the Holder equal to 0.250% of the then
outstanding principal balance of this Note (or $500.00, whichever is
greater), may elect by written notice to the Holder to have interest
calculated on the entire principal balance of this Note at a Fixed Rate
calculated as provided below for the remainder of the term of the Permanent
Loan. Maker's ability to fix the interest rate on this Note pursuant to this
subparagraph 2(b)(ii) is subject to the availability to the Holder of
matchfunding opportunities for a time period equivalent to the term of this
Note following the date of Maker's election to fix the interest rate.
(1) Calculation of Fixed Rate - If Maker elects to have a Fixed
Rate apply to this Note, interest shall accrue on the principal balance of
this Note at a per annum rate equal to Lender's reserve adjusted "FIXED RATE
INDEX" as quoted by Lender on the date the interest rate is converted to the
Fixed Rate, for a period equivalent to the term of the Permanent Loan (or
remainder thereof, as applicable), plus two and thirty-three one-hundredths
percentage points (2.330%) per annum, rounded upward to the next highest one-
eighth of one percent (0.125%). The Fixed Rate Index may be adjusted at the
Holder's option to reflect statutory reserves, deposit insurance, regulatory
capital, taxes and assessments, if any, as set forth in subparagraph
2(b)(i)(5) above.
(2) Date of Conversion - The interest rate will be converted to
the Fixed Rate on the date the Holder receives Maker's written notice
electing the Fixed Rate option, provided such notice is received before noon,
Seattle time, on a Business Day, and the fee payable in connection with the
election has been received by Holder. If notice is received by Holder after
noon, Seattle time, on a Business Day, the interest rate applicable to this
Note will convert to a Fixed Rate on the next Business Day. For purposes of
this subparagraph 2(b)(ii)(2) only, the term "BUSINESS DAY" means a day on
which commercial banks are generally open for business in Seattle,
Washington.
3. PAYMENTS.
(a) CONSTRUCTION TERM PAYMENTS. During the Construction Term, Maker
shall make monthly payments of interest on this Note as it accrues. Payments
shall be due on the first day of each calendar month during the Construction
Term, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the
initial advance by the Holder under this Note.
(b) PERMANENT LOAN PAYMENTS. If the Loan converts to the Permanent
Loan, Maker shall make monthly payments of principal and interest to the
Holder, in amounts sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of this
Note over a twenty (20) year amortization period in substantially equal
payments, based on the interest rate applicable to this Note, calculated as
provided below. Such monthly payments of principal and interest shall be due
on the first day of each calendar month during the term of the Permanent
Loan, commencing on the first day of the second calendar month following the
month in which the Loan converts to the Permanent Loan. The monthly payments
required on this Note following conversion to the Permanent Loan shall be
calculated as follows:
(i) VARIABLE RATE PAYMENTS. If interest is accruing on this Note
at a Variable Rate, the amount of the initial monthly payments shall be in an
amount sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of this Note at the
initial Variable Rate, in substantially equal monthly
3
<PAGE>
payments over the amortization period specified above. Promptly after the
Loan converts to the Permanent Loan, the Holder will provide Maker with a
closing statement (or other written notice) which will confirm the initial
Variable Rate and the amount of the initial principal and interest payments
due under this Note. The monthly payment will change after each Interest
Change Date to an amount sufficient to repay the then unpaid principal
balance of this Note in full at the then current interest rate, in
substantially equal monthly payments over the balance of the amortization
period specified above. Until the payment is again changed, Maker shall pay
the new monthly payment each month beginning on the first day of the first
calendar month after the applicable Interest Change Date. The Holder will
mail or deliver to Maker a notice of any changes in the interest rate
applicable to this Note, and any resulting changes in the monthly payments
required under this Note, prior to the date the first payment is due after
the applicable Interest Change Date.
(ii) FIXED RATE PAYMENTS. If interest is accruing on this Note at a
Fixed Rate, the amount of the monthly payments shall be in an amount
sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of this Note at the
applicable Fixed Rate, in substantially equal monthly payments over the
amortization period specified above, or the remainder thereof, as applicable.
The applicable Fixed Rate and the amount of the monthly principal and
interest payments due under this Note shall be confirmed in writing by the
Holder (either pursuant to a closing statement or other written notice) after
the interest rate is Fixed and prior to the date the first payment is due at
the Fixed Rate.
(c) GENERAL. At the option of the Holder, all payments under this
Note, including payment at maturity, shall be made in same day funds. On the
Maturity Date (as the same may be extended as provided in this Note), the
unpaid principal balance of this Note, all unpaid accrued interest and all
other sums then due and owing pursuant to this Note or any other Loan
Document shall be due and payable in full. Each payment shall be applied
first, at Holder's option, to any unpaid late charges or other sums payable
by Maker under this Note or any other Loan Document, then to interest to the
due date of the payment, and then to the principal balance of this Note.
4. AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL. The payments on this Note and any other sums
secured by the Deed of Trust Will be deducted on the first (lst) day of each
month from Seafirst Deposit Account No. 68351402, or such other Seafirst
Deposit Account as may be authorized in the future.
5. LATE CHARGES; RETURNED ITEM FEE. If any payment due hereunder is not
received by the Holder within fifteen (15) days of the due date, at the
option of the Holder without waiving such default or any of its remedies, a
late charge shall be added to the delinquent payment in the amount of four
percent (4%) of the full payment not timely paid. Any such late charge shall
be due and payable on demand, and the Holder, at its option, may (a) refuse
any late payment or any subsequent payment unless accompanied by the
applicable late charge, (b) add the late charge to the principal balance of
this Note, (c) pay any late charge with advances of the undisbursed proceeds
of the Loan, if any, or (d) treat the failure to pay the late charge as
demanded as a default under this Note. If a late charge is added to the
principal balance of this Note, it shall bear interest at the same rate as
the principal balance of this Note. Any payment to Holder by check, draft or
other item shall be received by Holder subject to collection and will
constitute payment when collected not when received. For each "nsf" or
returned check, draft or other item, in addition to any applicable late
charge, Maker shall pay to the Holder on demand a returned item fee in
accordance with the Holder's schedule of such fees then in effect.
6. PREPAYMENT. During the Construction Term, and thereafter, so long as
interest is calculated on this Note at a Variable Rate, this Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, without payment of a prepayment
fee. During any period when a Fixed Rate is applicable to this Note, this
Note may be prepaid only as set forth in EXHIBIT A attached. Partial
prepayments, if permitted, shall not postpone nor reduce the amount of the
monthly payments required under this Note.
7. DEFAULT. After a default under any of the Loan Documents, or if Maker
fails to make any payment under this Note when due, the Holder, at its
option, without notice to Maker (except as provided below), may declare the
entire principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon
and other charges payable by Maker pursuant to this Note or any other Loan
4
<PAGE>
Document immediately due and payable in full, and the Holder may exercise any
and all other rights or remedies available to it under any Loan Document, at
law or in equity. Any additional interest due because of a default shall
accrue from the date of default and shall be paid as a condition to the
curing of the default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder will not
accelerate the Maturity Date (a) because of a monetary default by Maker under
this Note or any other Loan Document unless the default is not cured within
ten (10) days of the date on which the Holder mails or delivers written
notice of the default to Maker, or (b) because of a nonmonetary default by
Maker under this Note or any other Loan Document unless the default is not
cured within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Holder mails or
delivers written notice of the default to Maker. For purposes of this Note,
the term "monetary default" means a failure by Maker to make any payment
required pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, and the term
"nonmonetary default" shall mean a failure by Maker to perform any obligation
contained in this Note or any other Loan Document, other than the obligation
to make the payments provided for in this Note or any other Loan Document. If
the nonmonetary default is capable of being cured and cannot reasonably be
made within the thirty (30) day cure period, the cure period shall be
extended up to ninety (90) days so long as Maker has commenced action to cure
within the thirty (30) day cure period, and in the Holder's opinion, Maker is
proceeding to cure the default with due diligence. None of the foregoing
shall be construed to obligate the Holder to forbear in any other manner from
exercising its remedies and the Holder may pursue any other rights or
remedies which the Holder may have because of the default.
8. CUMULATlVE REMEDIES. The rights and remedies of any Holder under this
Note or any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative
and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively or together against
Maker, any guarantor of this Note, or any security for this Note. A failure
by any Holder to exercise its option to accelerate this Note upon the
occurrence of a default or to exercise any other rights to which it may be
entitled shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option
or any such rights in the event of any subsequent default, whether of the
same or a different nature.
9. WAIVERS. Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and all other persons or
entities who may become liable for all or any part of the obligations
evidenced by this Note, jointly and severally: waive diligence, presentment,
protest and demand, and also notice of protest, demand, non-payment, dishonor
or maturity and also recourse to suretyship defenses generally; and consent
to any and all renewals, extensions and modifications of the terms of this
Note or any other Loan Document, including the time for payment, and agree
any such renewal, extension or modification or the release or substitution of
any security for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or any other
indulgences, shall not affect the liability of said parties for the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note. Any such renewals, extensions,
modifications, releases or indulgences may be made without notice to such
parties.
10. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Whether or not suit is brought Maker shall pay on
demand all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs and
allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, incurred by or on behalf of the
Holder in connection with this Note, including without limitation costs
incurred in the collection of this Note, in protecting the security for this
Note or in foreclosing or enforcing this Note or any other Loan Document, or
resulting from the Holder being made a party to any litigation because of the
existence of this Note or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Maker becomes the subject of any bankruptcy
or insolvency proceeding, Maker shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by
the Holder in connection with such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
11. MAXIMUM INTEREST. Maker represents and warrants the proceeds of this
Note shall be used solely for commercial, investment and business purposes,
and not for personal, family or household purposes. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Note or any other Loan Document, interest, loan fees and
charges payable by reason of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall
not exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by applicable law. If by virtue of
applicable law, sums in excess of such maximum would otherwise be payable,
then such excess sums shall be construed as having been immediately applied
by the Holder to the principal balance of this Note when received. If at the
time any such sum is received by the Holder, the principal balance of this
Note has been paid in full, such sums shall be promptly refunded by the
Holder to Maker, less any sums due to the Holder.
5
<PAGE>
12. SECURITY. This Note is secured by a deed of trust of even date (the
"Deed of Trust") encumbering certain real property located in Spokane County,
Washington (the "Property"). Unless otherwise specified in this Note, all
notices given pursuant to this Note must be in writing and will be
effectively given if given in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust.
13. GENERAL. This Note shall be binding upon Maker and Maker's
beneficiaries, heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and
assigns. If Maker consists of more than one person or entity, all of such
persons and entities shall be jointly and severally liable for Maker's
obligations under this Note. This Note is governed by and shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Each person or entity
executing this Note consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction and
venue of the courts of the State of Washington and the United States federal
courts located therein, in any action relating to or arising out of the
enforcement or interpretation of this Note or any other Loan Document. Each
such person or entity further agrees not to assert in any such action that
the proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
14. ARBITRATION. Any dispute relating to this Note or the Loan (whether
in contract or tort) shall be settled by arbitration if requested by Maker,
the Holder or any other party to the dispute (such as a guarantor); provided,
both Maker and the Holder must consent to a request for arbitration relating
to an obligation secured by real property. The arbitration proceedings shall
be held in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the United States
Arbitration Act (i.e., Title 9, U.S.C.). There shall be one arbitrator who
shall decide whether an issue is arbitrable or whether any claim is barred by
a statute of limitations. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction. Commencement of a lawsuit shall not constitute
a waiver of the right of any party to request arbitration if the lawsuit is

EXHIBIT A --------PREPAYMENT
If the interest rate converts to the Fixed Rate the principal balance of
this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time provided (i) a
prepayment fee is paid as set forth below, (ii) each partial repayment is in
an amount of $10,000.00 or more, and (iii) partial prepayments may be no more
frequent than once per month. THE PREPAYMENT FEE SHALL BE DUE AND PAYABLE
WHETHER THE PREPAYMENT IS BY VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT, OPERATION OF LAW,
ACCELERATION OR OTHERWISE. The amount of the prepayment fee depends on the
following:
l . The amount by which certain "REFERENCE RATES", as defined below,
have changed between the time this Note is prepaid and the date the interest
rate converts to the Fixed rate.
2. A prepayment fee factor (see "PREPAYMENT FEE FACTOR SCHEDULE"
below).
3. The amount of principal prepaid.
DEFINITION OF REFERENCE RATES
The "REFERENCE RATE" used to represent interest rate levels shall be the
bond equivalent yield of the average US Treasury Securities having maturities
equivalent to the remaining period to maturity of the Loan, rounded upward to
the nearest month. The "INITIAL REFERENCE RATE" shall be the Reference Rate
assigned to the Loan by the Holder at the time the interest rate converts to
the Fixed Rate. The "FINAL REFERENCE RATE" shall be the Reference Rate
assigned to the Loan by the Holder at the time of the prepayment.
The applicable Reference Rates shall be determined from the Federal
Reserve Statistical Release (Publication H.15) as displayed on Page 119 of
the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other page or service as may replace
that page or service for the purpose of displaying rates comparable to said
US Treasury Securities). If the publishing of the foregoing Statistical
Release is ever discontinued, the applicable Reference Rate shall be based on
the publication by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal
Reserve System in replacement thereof, or if none, the publication which in
the Holder's discretion most nearly corresponds.
CALCULATION OF PREPAYMENT FEE
1. If the Initial Reference Rate is less than or equal to the Final
Reference Rate, there is no prepayment fee.
2. If the Initial Reference Rate is greater than the Final Reference
Rate, the prepayment fee shall be equal to the difference between the Initial
Reference Rate and the Final Reference Rate (expressed as a decimal),
multiplied by the appropriate factor from the Prepayment Fee Factor Schedule,
multiplied by the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid.
EXAMPLE OF PREPAYMENT FEE CALCULATION
An amortizing loan with remaining principal of $250,000 is fully prepaid
with twenty-four (24) months remaining until maturity. An Initial Reference
Rate of 9.000% was assigned to the loan at the time the loan was closed. The
Final Reference Rate (as determined by the current 24-month US Treasury Rate
on Page 119 of Telerate) is 7.500%. Rates therefore have dropped 1.500% since
the loan was closed and a prepayment fee applies. A prepayment fee factor of
1.3 is determined from Table 1 below and the prepayment fee is computed as
follows:
Prepayment Fee = (0.09 - 0.075) x (1.3) x ($250,000) = $4,875.00

The Holder of this Note is not required to actually reinvest the
prepaid principal in any U.S. Government Treasury Securities, or otherwise
prove its actual losses, as a condition to receiving a prepayment fee as
calculated above. Maker agrees this prepayment fee is the bargained-for
consideration to the Holder for permitting prepayment and the above is not a
liquidated damages provision. This prepayment fee provision is to be
interpreted in a manner that would make it enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law, with any portion of the fee that is unenforceable being
stricken or otherwise changed to cause the fee, as revised, to be enforced.

Fifty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($1,850,000.00) or so much as may be
outstanding, together with Interest on the unpaid outstanding principal
balance untill paid in full.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan In one payment of all outstanding
principal plus all accrued unpaid Interest on March 1, 1997. In addition,
Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid Interest
beginning April 1, 1996, and all subsequent Interest payments are due on the
same day of each month after that Interest on this Note is computed on a
365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding
principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal
balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown
above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless
otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied
first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining
amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to automatically deduct
from Borrower's checking/savings account number 68351402, or such other
Seafirst account as may be authorized in the future, the loan payment

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount
owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by

make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, they will reduce the
principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $20.00 whichever is greater.

subject of this Deed of Trust and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is
described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all

identified in any list filed with the Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is
referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any
time.
4. FINANCING STATEMENT. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a
financing statement filed for record in the real estate records as a fixture

securing, or relating to the Loan, and/or the Collateral, whether executed
prior to, contemporaneously with, or subsequent to this Deed of Trust (this
Deed of Trust, the Note and all such other documents, including any

document.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Secured Obligations shall not
include the obligations of Grantor under any Certificate and Indemnity
Agreement Regarding Building Laws and Hazardous Substances now or hereafter

ARTICLE II
1. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES. Grantor hereby absolutely and
irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary all Grantor's interest in the Rents and
Leases. The foregoing assignment is subject to the terms and conditions of
any separate assignment of the Leases and/or Rents, whenever executed, in
favor of Beneficiary and covering the Property. Grantor warrants it has made
no prior assignment of the Rents or the Leases and will make no subsequent
assignment (other than to Beneficiary) without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. At Beneficiary's request, Grantor shall execute and deliver to
Beneficiary a separate assignment of rents containing such terms and
conditions as Beneficiary may reasonably require.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in any separate assignment of the
Leases and/or the Rents, and so long as Grantor is not in default under the
Loan Documents, Grantor may collect the Rents as the Rents become due.
Grantor shall use the Rents to pay normal operating expenses for the Property
and sums due and payments required under the Loan Documents. No Rents shall
be collected for a period subsequent to the current one month rental period
and first or last month's rent. Grantor's right to collect the Rents shall
not constitute Beneficiary's consent to the use of cash collateral in any
bankruptcy proceeding.
(b) If Grantor is in default under this Deed of Trust or any other
Loan Document, without notice to Grantor, Beneficiary or its agents, or a
court appointed receiver, may collect the Rents. In doing so, Beneficiary may
(i) evict lessees for nonpayment of rent, (ii) terminate in any lawful manner
any tenancy or occupancy, (iii) lease the Property in the name of the then
owner on such terms as it may deem best, (iv) institute proceedings against
any lessee for past due rent, and (v) do all other acts and things as
Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable. The Rents received shall be applied
to payment of the costs and expenses of collecting the Rents, including a
reasonable fee to Beneficiary, a receiver or an agent, operating expenses for
the Property and any sums due or payments required under the Loan Documents,
in such order as Beneficiary may determine. Any excess shall be paid to
Grantor, however, Beneficiary may withhold from any excess a reasonable
amount to pay sums anticipated to become due which exceed the anticipated
future Rents. Beneficiary's failure to collect or discontinuing collection at
any time shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by
Beneficiary of its rights to collect the Rents. The collection of the
-4-
<PAGE>
Rents by or for Beneficiary shall not cure or waive any default under the
Loan Documents. Any Rents paid to Beneficiary or a receiver shall be credited
against the amount due from the lessees under the Leases. In the event any
lessee under a Lease becomes the subject of any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or local statute which provides
for the possible termination or rejection of any Lease assigned hereby,
Grantor covenants and agrees that in the event any of the Leases are so
rejected, no damages settlement shall be made without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary; any check in payment of damages for rejection or
termination of any such Lease will be made payable both to the Grantor and
Beneficiary; and Grantor hereby assigns any such payment to Beneficiary and
further covenants and agrees that upon request of Beneficiary, it will duly
endorse to the order of Beneficiary any such check, the proceeds of which
will be applied to any portion of the indebtedness secured hereunder in such
manner as Beneficiary may elect.
(c) Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent,
takes actual possession of the Property or any part thereof, Beneficiary is
not and shall not be deemed to be: (i) "a mortgagee in possession" for any
purpose; (ii) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor
under any Lease; (iii) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any
other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or
(iv) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment
or operation of all or any part of it. In exercising its rights under this
Section I Beneficiary shall be liable only for the proper application of and
accounting for the Rents collected by Beneficiary or its agents.
2. LEASES. Grantor shall fully comply with all of the terms, conditions
and provisions of the Leases so that the same shall not become in default and
do all things necessary to preserve the Leases in force. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing by Beneficiary, without Beneficiary's prior written
consent, Grantor will not enter into any Lease (i) on a form of Lease not
previously approved by Beneficiary, (ii) for a term of three (3) years or
more, or (iii) containing an option or right to purchase all or any part of
the Collateral in favor of any lessee. With respect to any Lease of the whole
or any part of the Property involving an initial term of three (3) years or
more, Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary,
(a) permit the assignment or subletting of all or part ofthe lessee's rights
under the Lease unless the right to assign or sublet is expressly reserved by
the lessee under the Lease, (b) modify or amend the Lease for a lesser rental
or term, or (c) accept surrender of the Lease or terminate the Lease except
in accordance with the terms of the Lease providing for termination in the
event of a default. Any proceeds or damages result from a lessee's default
under any Lease, at Beneficiary's option, shall be paid to Beneficiary and
applied against sums owed under the Loan Documents even though such sums may
not be due and payable. Except for real estate taxes and assessments, without
Beneficiary's prior written consent, Grantor shall not permit any lien to be
created against the Property which may be or may become prior to any Lease.
If the Property is partially condemned or suffers a casualty, Grantor shall
promptly repair and restore the Property in order to comply with the Leases.

that neither the Property nor any other Collateral is used principally or
primarily for agricultural or farming purposes.
2. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. Grantor shall promptly and timely pay all
sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents, strictly comply with all the terms
and conditions of the Loan Documents, and perform each Secured Obligation in
accordance with its terms.
3. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Grantor warrants that it has good and marketable
title to an indefeasible fee simple estate in the Property (unless Grantor's
present interest in the Property is described in SCHEDULE A as a leasehold
interest, in which case Grantor warrants that it lawfully possesses and holds
a valid leasehold interest in the Property as described in SCHEDULE A), and
good marketable title to the personal property Collateral, subject to no
liens, encumbrances, easements, assessments, security interests, claims or
defects of any kind prior or subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust,
except those listed in Beneficiary's title insurance policy or approved by
Beneficiary in writing (the "Exceptions") and real estate taxes and
assessments for the current year. Grantor
-5-
<PAGE>
warrants the Exceptions and the real estate taxes and assessments are not
delinquent or in default, and Grantor has the right to convey the Property to
Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, and the right to grant a security
interest in the personal property Collateral. Grantor will warrant and defend
title to the Collateral and will defend the validity and priority of the lien
of this Deed of Trust and the security interests granted herein against any
claims or demands.
4. PROHIBITED LIENS.
(a) Subject to Grantor's rights under subsection (b) below, Grantor

mechanic's or materialmen's liens) to be filed against the Collateral except
for real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and liens permitted by the
Loan Documents or approved by Beneficiary in writing.
(b) Grantor will have the right to contest in good faith by
appropriate legal or administrative proceeding the validity of any prohibited
lien, encumbrance or charge so long as (i) no default exists under the Loan
Documents, (ii) Grantor first deposits with Beneficiary a bond or other
security satisfactory to Beneficiary in the amount reasonably required by
Beneficiary, but not more than the amounts specified in RCW 60.04.161, as now
or hereafter amended, (iii) Grantor immediately commences its contest of such
lien, encumbrance or charge, applies to court for a show cause as provided
for in RCW 60.04.221(9), as now or hereafter amended, and continuously
pursues the contest in good faith and with due diligence; (iv) foreclosure of
the lien, encumbrance or charge is stayed; and (v) Grantor pays any judgment
rendered for the lien claimant or other third party within ten (10) days
after the entry of the judgment. If the contested item is a mechanic's or
materialmen's lien, Grantor will furnish Beneficiary with an endorsement to
its title insurance policy which insures the priority of this Deed of Trust
over the lien being contested. Grantor will discharge or elect to contest and
post an appropriate bond or other security within twenty (20) days of written
demand by Beneficiary.
5. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER ENCUMBRANCES. Grantor shall pay the real
estate taxes and any assessments or ground rents at least seven (7) days
prior to delinquency unless otherwise provided for in the reserve account
described in Section 15 below. All other encumbrances, charges and liens
affecting the Collateral, including mortgages and deeds of trust, whether

Collateral.
7. ALTERATIONS, REMOVAL AND DEMOLITION. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing by Beneficiary, Grantor shall not structurally alter, remove or
demolish any building or improvement on the Property without Beneficiary's
prior written consent. Grantor shall not remove any fixture or other item of
property which is part of the Collateral without Beneficiary's prior written
consent unless the fixture or item of property is replaced by an article of
equal suitability, owned by Grantor free and clear of any lien or security
interest.
8. COMPLETION, REPAIR AND RESTORATION. Grantor shall promptly complete or
repair and restore in good workmanlike manner any building or improvement on
the Property which may be constructed or damaged or destroyed and shall pay
all costs incurred therefor. Prior to commencement of any construction

and furnish evidence of sufficient funds to complete the work.

regulations, covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the

(including architectural, engineering, legal and accounting costs), all
fines, fees and penalties, and all legal and other expenses (including

restrictions. If Beneficiary or its designee shall become the owner of or
acquire an interest in or rights to the Collateral by foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or by other means, the foregoing
indemnification obligation shall survive such foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure or other acquisition of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, Grantor shall have no obligation to defend, indemnify or
hold Beneficiary harmless from any liability arising from or out of the
activities of Beneficiary or its agents with respect to the Collateral on or
after the transfer of the Collateral to Beneficiary pursuant to foreclosure
proceedings or in lieu thereof.

prior written consent, change the general nature of the occupancy of the
Property, initiate, acquire or permit any change in any public or private

appear in, and defend any action or proceeding which may affect the
Collateral or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under this Deed
of Trust. Beneficiary may pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, charge or lien not listed as an Exception which in its judgment
appears to be prior or superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust. If Grantor
fails to make any payment or do any act required under the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary, without any obligation to do so and without releasing Grantor
from any obligations under the Loan Documents, may make the payment or cause
the act to be performed in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may
deem necessary to protect the Collateral. Beneficiary is authorized to enter
upon the Property for such purposes. In exercising any ofthese powers
Beneficiary may incur such expenses, in its absolute discretion, it deems
necessary.
14. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(a) Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary, to the best of
Grantor's knowledge and except as disclosed in Environmental Site Assessment,
Level 1, by Budinger & Associates dated October 2, 1995, a copy of which has
been provided to Beneficiary, no hazardous or toxic waste or substances are
being stored on the Property or any adjacent property nor have any such waste
or substances been stored or used in, on, under, over or about the Property
or any adjacent property prior to or during Grantor's ownership, possession
or control of the Property, other than the use or storage of hazardous or
toxic waste or substances generally used in the ordinary course of operating,
maintaining or developing properties such as the Property, all of which
Grantor covenants have and will be used, stored and disposed of in accordance
with commercially reasonable practices and all applicable federal, state and
local laws, regulations and ordinances. Grantor shall provide written notice
to Beneficiary immediately upon Grantor becoming aware that the Property or
any adjacent property is being or has been contaminated with hazardous or
toxic waste or substances. Grantor will not cause nor permit any activities
on the Property which directly or indirectly could result in the Property or
any other property becoming contaminated with hazardous or toxic waste or
substances. For purposes of this Deed of Trust, the term "hazardous or toxic
waste or substances" means any chemical, substance or material classified or
designated as hazardous, toxic or radioactive, or similar term, and now or
hereafter regulated under any applicable federal, state or
-7-
<PAGE>
local statute, regulation, ordinance or requirement, now or hereafter in
effect, pertaining to environmental protection, contamination or cleanup.
(b) Grantor shall comply, at Grantor's expense, with all statutes,
regulations and ordinances which apply to Grantor or the Collateral, and with
all orders, decrees or judgments of governmental authorities or courts having
jurisdiction which Grantor is bound by, relating to the use, collection
storage, treatment, control, removal or cleanup of hazardous or toxic
substances in, on, under, oven or about the Property or in, on, under, over
or about any adjacent property that becomes contaminated with hazardous or
toxic substances as a result of construction, operations or other activities
on, or the contamination of, the Property. Beneficiary may, but is not
obligated to, enter upon the Property to inspect it for compliance and to
take such actions and incur such costs and expenses to effect such compliance
as it deems advisable to protect its interest as Beneficiary; and whether or
not Grantor has actual knowledge of the existence of hazardous or toxic
substances in, on, under, over or about the Property or any adjacent property
as of the date hereof, Grantor slaall reimburse Beneficiary on demand for the
full amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary prior to
Beneficiary acquiring title to the Property through foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure, in connection with such compliance activities.
(c) Grantor's obligations under this Section 14 are unconditional
and shall not be limited by a non-recourse or other limitations of liability
provided for in this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document.
15. RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) Subject to subsection (d) below, if Beneficiary so requires,
Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly, together with and in addition to
any payments due under the Note, a sum, as estimated by Beneficiary, equal to
the ground rents, if any, the real estate taxes and assessments next due on
the Property and the premiums next due on insurance policies required under
the Loan Documents, less all sums already paid therefor, divided by the
number of months to elapse before two (2) months prior to the date when the
ground rents, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums will
become delinquent. The monthly reserve accounts payments and any other
payments due under the Note shall be paid in a single payment and applied by
Beneficiary, at its option, in the following order: (l) ground rents, real
estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, (2) expenditures made
pursuant to the Loan Documents and interest thereon, (3) interest on the
Note, and (4) principal due on the Note. Grantor shall promptly deliver to
Beneficiary all bills and notices pertaining to the ground rents, taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums.
(b) The reserve account is solely for the protection of Beneficiary.
Beneficiary shall have no responsibility except to credit properly the sums
actually received by it. No interest will be paid on the funds in the reserve
account and Beneficiary shall have no obligation to deposit the funds in an
interest-bearing account. Upon assignment of this Deed of Trust by
Beneficiary, any funds in the reserve account shall be turned over to the
assignee and any responsibility of Beneficiary with respect thereto shall
terminate. Each transfer of the Property shall automatically transfer to the
grantee all rights of Grantor to any funds in the reserve account.
(c) If the total of the payments to the reserve exceeds the amount
of payments actually made by Beneficiary, plus such amounts as have been
reasonably accumulated in the reserve account toward payments to become due,
such excess may, at Beneficiary's election, be (1) credited by Beneficiary
against sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, or (2) refunded
to Grantor as its name appears on the records of Beneficiary. If, however,
the reserve account does not have sufficient funds to make the payments when
they become due, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary the amount necessary to
make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) days after written notice to
Grantor. If this Deed of Trust is foreclosed or if Beneficiary otherwise
acquires the Collateral, the Beneficiary shall, at the time of commencement
of the proceedings or at the time the Collateral is otherwise acquired, apply
the remaining funds in the reserve account, less such sums as will become due
during the pendency of the proceedings, against the sums due under the Loan
Documents and/or to make payments required under the Loan Documents.
-8-
<PAGE>
(d) Unless required by the terms of Beneficiary's loan commitment or
any other Loan Document, Grantor shall not be required to pay monthly reserve
account payments so long as there has been no more than four (4) late
payments due under the Note throughout the term of the Loan and there is no
other default under the Loan and so long as Grantor remains in ownership of
the Collateral, provided receipted bills evidencing the payment of all taxes
and/or assessments and insurance premiums are exhibited to Beneficiary within
fifteen (15) days after Beneficiary's reguest therefor. Upon any change in
any of these conditions, Beneficiary may, at its option then or thereafter
exercised, require the payment of reserves pursuant to this Section 15.
16. REPAYMENT OF BENEFICIARY'S EXPENDITURES. Grantor shall pay within ten
( 10) days after written notice from Beneficiary all sums expended by
Beneficiary and all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in taking any
actions pursuant to the Loan Documents including, attorneys' fees,
accountants' fees, appraisal and inspection fees, and the costs for title
reports. If any laws or regulations are passed subsequent to the date of this
Deed of Trust which require Beneficiary to incur out-of-pocket expenses in
order to maintain, modify, extend or foreclose this Deed of Trust, revise the
terms of the Loan or consent to an Accelerating Transfer (as defined below),
Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary for such expenses within fifteen (15)
days after written notice from Beneficiary. Expenditures by Beneficiary shall
bear interest from the date of such advance or expenditure at the default
interest rate in the Note, shall constitute advances made under this Deed of
Trust and shall be secured by and have the same priority as the lien of this
Deed of Trust. If Grantor fails to pay any such expenditures, costs and
expenses and interest thereon, Beneficiary may, at its option, without
foreclosing the lien of this Deed of Trust, commence an independent action
against Grantor for the recovery of the expenditures and/or advance any
undisbursed Loan proceeds to pay the expenditures.
17. ACCELERATING TRANSFERS.
(a) "Accelerating Transfer" means any sale, contract to sell,
conveyance, encumbrance, transfer of full possessory rights, or other
transfer of all or any material part of the Collateral or any interest in it,
whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise and whether
or not for record or for consideration. If Grantor is the majority owner of a
business, either through ownership of shares of a corporation or interest in
a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, which occupies
seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the improvements on the Property,
"Accelerating Transfer" also means any sale, contract to sell, or other
transfer of the busincss or substantial assets of the business or the failure
of the business to continue to occupy the Property .
(b) Grantor acknowledges Beneficiary is taking actions in reliance
on the expertise, skill, experience and reliability of Grantor, and the
obligations secured hereby include material elements similar in nature to a
personal service contract or ownership interest. In consideration of
Beneficiary's reliance, Grantor agrees that Grantor shall not make any
Accelerating Transfer without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which
Beneficiary may withhold in its sole discretion. If Beneficiary consents, it
may charge the Grantor a fee as consideration for such consent and condition
its consent on such changes to the terms and conditions of the Note and other
Loan Documents as Beneficiary may require, including without limitation
increasing the interest rate on the Note. Grantor shall pay Beneficiary's
actual costs incurred in making its decision to consent to an Accelerating
Transfer, including but not limited to the cost of credit reports, an updated
appraisal of the Property, an updated environmental assessment and
documentation. If any Accelerating Transfer occurs without Beneficiary's
prior written consent, Beneficiary in its sole discretion may declare an
immediate default and all sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be
immediately due and payable, and Beneficiary may invoke any rights and
remedies provided herein. This provision shall apply to each and every
Accelerating Transfer regardless of whether or not Beneficiary has consented
or waived its rights, whether by action or nonaction, in connection with any
previous Accelerating Transfer(s).
(c) If all or any part of this Section 17 relevant to a particular
Accelerating Transfer is unenforceable according to the law in effect at the
time of the Accelerating Transfer, then Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary
for its actual costs incurred in processing the Accelerating Transfer on its
records, including but not limited to the cost of modifications of Loan
Documents, an appraisal, and obtaining relevant credit and financial
information.

warranty, or for damage, injury or loss to all or part of the Collateral, and
it may make any compromise or settlement ofthe action or proceeding.
Beneficiary, if it so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding
relating to condemnation or taking of all or part of the Collateral, and may

rights which Grantor may receive or be entitled to shall be paid to
Beneficiary. In each instance, Beneficiary shall apply those proceeds first
toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary's costs and expenses of recovering
the proceeds, including attorneys' fees.

are satisfied in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, Beneficiary shall permit

below: (i) the plans and specifications, cost breakdown, construction
contract, construction schedule, contractor and payment and performance bond

after repair or reconstruction, the Collateral will be at least as valuable
as it was immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred; (iii) the
Net Claims Proceeds must be sufficient in Beneficiary's determination to pay
for the total cost of repair or reconstruction, including all associated
development costs and interest projected to be payable on the Note until the
repair or reconstruction is complete; or Grantor must provide its own funds
in an amount equal to the difference between the Net Claims Proceeds and a
reasonable estimate, made by Grantor and found acceptable by Beneficiary, of
the total cost of repair or reconstruction; (iv) Beneficiary must receive
evidence satisfactory to it that all Leases which it may find acceptable will
continue after the repair or reconstruction is complete; (v) Beneficiary has
received evidence satisfactory to it, that reconstruction and/or repair can
be completed at least three (3) months prior to the date the Note secured by
this Deed of Trust is due and payable; and (vi) no default under any of the
Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing. If the foregoing
conditions are met to Beneficiary's satisfaction, Beneficiary shall hold the
Net Claims Proceeds and any funds which Grantor is required to provide and
shall disburse them to Grantor to pay costs of repair or reconstruction upon
presentation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that repair
or reconstruction has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free. However,

may apply the Net Claims Proceeds to pay or prepay some or all of the Note.

be false or misleading in any material respect; (iv) Grantor defaults under
any lease or other contract or agreement relating to the collateral, and such
default is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any; (v) Grantor,
or the maker of the Note if different from Grantor, is in default with
respect to any other loan from Beneficiary to Grantor and/or such other
borrower; (vi) Grantor, any maker of

<PAGE>
the Note if different from Grantor, or any guarantor of the Loan fails to pay
his, her or its debts generally as they become due, or files a petition or
action for relief under any bankruptcy, or Organization or insolvency laws or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (vii) an involuntary
petition is filed against Grantor, any maker of the Note if different from
Grantor, or any guarantor of the Loan under any bankruptcy, reorganization or
other insolvency laws, or a custodian, receiver or trustee is appointed to
take, possession, custody or control of the Collateral or any other
properties or assets of Grantor, of any maker of the Note if different from
Grantor, or of any guarantor of the Loan and such petition or appointment is
not set aside, withdrawn or dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date

(b) In the event of a default Beneficiary may declare the Secured
Obligations, without limitation, the Loan and all other indebtedness
evidenced by the Note or any other Loan Document, immediately due and payable
after notice as set forth in Section 2 below, and/or exercise its rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law including, without
limitation, foreclosure of this Deed of Trust judicially as a mortgage or
nonjudicially pursuant to the power of sale. Beneficiary's exercise of any of
its rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver or cure of a default.
Beneficiary's failure to enforce any of its remedies in the event of a
default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or any subsequent
default of its rights and remedies with respect to such default. In the event
of foreclosure, the cost of the title premium for the trustee's sale guaranty
(or equivalent title policy or report) shall be paid for by Grantor and shall
be added to and be a part of the Secured Obligations. If this Deed of Trust
or any of the other Loan Documents are referred to an attorney for
enforcement or for preservation of Beneficiary's rights or remedies, and
whether or not suit is filed or any proceedings are commenced, all of
Beneficiary's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith including,
without limitation, Trustee's and attorneys' fees (including attorneys' fees
for any appeal, bankruptcy proceeding or any other
proceeding), accountants' fees, appraisal and internal appraisal review fees,
inspection fees (including inspections for hazardous substances, asbestos
containing materials, and compliance with building and land use codes and
regulations), engineering fees, and expert witness fees and costs of title
reports shall be added to and be a part of the Secured Obligations and shall
be payable on demand.
2. NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall not accelerate the maturity of one
or more of the Secured Obligations (a) because of a monetary default (defined
below) unless the default is not cured within ten (10) days of the date on
which Beneficiary mails or delivers written notice of the default to Grantor,
or (b) because of a nonmonetary default (defined below) unless the
nonmonetary default is not cured within thirty (30) days of the date on which
Beneficiary mails or delivers written notice of the default to Grantor. For
purposes of this Deed of Trust, the term "monetary default" means a failure
by Grantor to make any payment required of it pursuant to the Note or any
other Loan Document, and the term "nonmonetary default" means a failure by
Grantor or any other person or entity to perform any obligation contained in
the Note or any other Loan Document, other than the obligation to make
payments provided for in the Note or any other Loan Document. If a
nonmonetary default is capable of being cured and the cure cannot reasonably
be completed within the thirty (30) day cure period, the cure period shall be
extended up to ninety (90) days so long as Grantor has commenced action to
cure within the thirty (30) day cure period, and in Beneficiary's opinion,
Grantor is proceeding to cure the default with due diligence. None of the
foregoing shall be construed to obligate Beneficiary to forebear in any other
manner from exercising its remedies and Beneficiary may pursue any other
rights or remedies which Beneficiary may have because of a default.
3. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. To the fullest extent allowed by law, all of
Beneficiary's and Trustee's rights and remedies specified in the Loan
Documents (including this Deed of Trust) are cumulative, not mutually
exclusive and not in substitution for any rights or remedies available at law
or in equity. Without waiving its rights in the Collateral, Beneficiary may
proceed against Grantor, any other party obligated to pay or perform the
Secured Obligations or against any other security or guaranty for the Secured
Obligations, in such order or manner as Beneficiary may elect. Except where
prohibited by applicable law, the commencement of proceedings to enforce a
particular remedy shall not preclude the commencement of other proceedings of
other proceedings to enforce a different remedy.

interest in the personal property Collateral to the trustee. Beneficiary may
also realize on the personal property Collateral in accordance with the
remedies available to secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code or at
law. In the event of a trustee's sale, Grantor, and the holder of any
subordinate liens or security interest with actual or constructive notice
hereof, waive any equitable, statutory or other right they may have to
require marshaling of assets in connection with the exercises of any of the
remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein, or to direct the
order in which any of
the Collateral will be sold in the event of any sale under this Deed of Trust
or foreclosure in the inverse order of alienation.

have the right, at its option, to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the
rights of any lessees of the Property. Beneficiary's failure to foreclose
against any lessee shall not be asserted as a claim against Beneficiary or as
a defense against any claim by Beneficiary in any action or proceeding.

the Leases except that Beneficiary shall retain its priority claim to any
condemnation or insurance proceeds.

representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Loan Documents in
this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material aspects.
If Lender disburses funds without requiring the satisfaction of each of
the foregoing conditions, Borrower's obligation to meet the unsatisfied
conditions shall not be deemed waived (unless specifically waived in writing
by Lender) and Lender may require compliance with each of such conditions
before further Loan proceeds are disbursed.
5. CONSTRUCTION COVENANTS.
5.1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS; PROJECT BUDGET. Borrower shall
complete the Improvements and the Project in accordance with plans and
specifications submitted to and approved in writing by Lender (the "PLANS
AND SPECIFICATIONS"), and a budget (the "PROJECT BUDGET") approved in writing
by Lender containing a detailed breakdown of the total costs of constructing
the Improvements and completing the Project. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing by Lender, the Plans and Specifications and the Project Budget shall
be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to the closing and initial
funding of the Loan. The Loan proceeds shall be allocated to various Project
costs as shown in the Project Budget. The line items in the approved Project
Budget may be adjusted and reallocated from time to time by Borrower,
subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender also may initiate and
determine reallocations of line items in the Project Budget from time to
time when Lender determines such reallocations to be reasonable or
appropriate.
5.2 COMPLETION OF PROJECT. Borrower shall cause the Project to be
completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications, and in compliance with the terms and conditions of the
building permits and all other permits and approvals issued for the Project
by any governmental authority, and the provisions of any applicable
covenants, conditions or restrictions, free and clear of all claims, liens
and encumbrances other than the Deed of Trust and such other encumbrances as
Lender may approve in writing. Borrower also shall comply with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, including without limitation federal, state
and local environmental, shorelines management and hazardous waste laws.

by which Borrower or the Project is bound. The Project shall be deemed
completed upon the satisfaction of the conditions to final disbursement of
Loan proceeds set forth in Section 7 below.

<PAGE>
5.4 CHANGES IN PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: CHANGE ORDERS. Borrower
shall provide Lender with notice of all changes in the Plans and
Specifications, changes to the terms of the Construction Contract, orders for
extra work, or other changes to the Project. Unless otherwise agreed by
Lender, all changes to the Plans and Specifications or the Project (other
than minor changes which do not affect the cost of the Project or the
scheduled completion date) shall be made by a written change order signed by
Borrower and General Contractor. Lender's prior written approval shall be
required for (a) any single change order or modification which will result in
an extension of the completion date of the Project if more than seven (7)
days or which will result in an increase or decrease of more than $7,000.00
(or such other amount as Lender may now or hereafter approve in writing) of
the direct construction costs specified in the approved Project Budget
("CONSTRUCTION COSTS"), (b) any change order or
modification which together with the aggregate of all previous change orders
or modifications (whether or not previously approved by Lender) will result
in a net cumulative increase of the completion date of the Project if more
than thirty (30) days or which will result in a net cumulative increase or
decrease of more than $30,000.00 (or such other amount as Lender may now or
hereafter approve in writing) of the Construction Costs. Borrower will not
permit the performance of any work pursuant to any change order unless and
until Borrower has received the approval of Lender, if such approval is
required pursuant to this paragraph. Borrower shall provide Lender with
copies of all change orders and modifications, irrespective of amount,
whether or not Lender's prior approval is required pursuant to this
paragraph. If a change order is made without Lender's consent and such
consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, Lender shall have no
obligation to disburse any Funds to pay for costs associated with the change
order.
5.5 ABANDONMENT OF CONSTRUCTION. If construction of the
Improvements is at any time abandoned or discontinued for fifteen (15)
consecutive days or more, or if Lender in good faith determines the work is
not being performed in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications
and Construction Contract, Lender at its option, may enter onto the Property
(or designate a third party to enter onto the Property) to complete the
construction or correct any work improperly done or replace any defective
material. If Lender exercises the foregoing option, Lender may employ such
workmen and furnish such materials as it believes are necessary or
appropriate to complete the Improvements or correct any errors or defects in
construction or workmanship, or Lender may declare a default under this
Agreement. All costs incurred by Lender pursuant to this paragraph, including
a reasonable sum for supervision, attorneys' fees and all related costs and
expenses, shall be deemed additional advances to Borrower and secured by the
Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and by any other collateral for
the Loan, and added to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan (even if the
costs so incurred, together with prior advances of Loan proceeds, cause the
outstanding principal balance to exceed the maximum amount of the Loan set
forth above). On demand, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses expended
by Lender pursuant to this paragraph. The fifteen (15) day period set forth
above shall be extended one (l) day for each day that the abandonment or
discontinuation of construction is caused by fire, earthquake or other acts
of God, strikes, lockout, acts of public enemy, riot, insurrection or
governmental regulation of the sale or transportation of materials, supplies
or labor, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Borrower;
provided, in no event shall such fifteen (15) day period be extended to a
period of more than
sixty (60) days, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender.
6. EQUITY. Prior to the initial advance of Loan proceeds, Lender shall
have received evidence satisfactory to it that Borrower has "EQUITY" in the
Project in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the total cost of
the Project, as shown in the Project Budget approved by Lender, and (b) the
amount of the Loan. Equity may be in the form of either prepaid costs in the
approved Project Budget, paid by Borrower with its own funds and verified by
Lender, or cash deposited with Lender. All cash deposited by Lender will be
advanced by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the
disbursement of Loan funds.
7. DISBURSEMENTS. This Section 7 shall govern the disbursement of Loan
proceeds and all funds deposited with Lender pursuant to this Agreement,
including any equity or other funds deposited with Lender pursuant to this
Agreement (collectively the "FUNDS"). Borrower authorizes Lender to pay
directly from the Funds, the Loan Fee and Lender's expenses for which
Borrower is liable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
4
<PAGE>
7.1 GENERAL CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS. Each disbursement of Funds at
the request of Borrower is subject to the following general conditions:
(a) Neither the Improvements nor any other part of the Project shall
have been materially damaged by fire or other casualty, and there shall be no
eminent domain or condemnation proceeding pending or threatened against the
Project. This condition shall be deemed satisfied if Lender has received
insurance or condemnation proceeds or a cash deposit from Borrower sufficient
in Lender's judgment to pay the cost of all repairs necessary as a result of
the casualty or condemnation and any related costs or expenses.
(b) Lender shall have received, at Borrower's expense, an endorsement
to the Title Policy, in form and content acceptable to Lender, insuring the
continued first lien priority of the Deed of Trust.
(c) Lender shall have received, at Borrower's expense, upon
completion of the foundations of the Improvements, a foundation endorsement
to the Title Policy, in form and content acceptable to Lender, showing no
encroachments of the foundations onto other property.
(d) Lender must be satisfied that the Loan is "in balance" pursuant
to Section 7.6 below or Borrower must have deposited the additional Funds
with Lender required pursuant to such section of this Agreement.
(e) Lender is not prohibited from disbursing Funds under any
applicable lien laws or stop notice statutes or otherwise.
(f) Borrower is not in default under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or under the Certificate and Indemnity, and no event or
circumstance then exists which with notice, the passage of time or both would
constitute a default under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the
Certificate and Indemnity.
(g) No legal or administrative proceeding challenging the validity
of or seeking to enjoin, set aside, review or otherwise challenge any
governmental permit or approval applicable to the Project shall be pending or
threatened.
Unless all the foregoing conditions are met to Lender's satisfaction, Lender
shall have no obligation to make any disbursement of Funds requested by
Borrower; however, Lender may elect to make an advance of Funds
notwithstanding that any one or more of the foregoing conditions is not
satisfied, and by doing so Lender shall not be deemed to have waived its
right to require the satisfaction of any such conditions with respect to
any other advance of Funds. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender,
throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall maintain a checking account
(the "Loan Account") with Lender into which Loan proceeds and other Funds
will be deposited and from which any Loan payments that Borrower is
required to make will be automatically withdrawn.
7.2 DISBURSEMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS. Borrower may request
disbursements of Funds to pay direct construction costs provided for in the
Project Budget once a month. All requests for payment of Construction Costs
shall be pursuant to a draw request ("DRAW REQUEST"). Each Draw Request
shall be on an AIA form of Application and Certificate for Payment (or
other form approved by Lender), signed by General Contractor, and Borrower or
Architect, as required by Lender. Lender shall make disbursements pursuant to
each Draw Request within seven (7) business days after Lender's receipt and
approval of the Draw Request and any supplementary documentation or
information required by Lender, and subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 7 of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender,
each Draw Request shall be accompanied by the following, all of which must
be acceptable to Lender:
(a) A Certificate of Job Progress signed by Borrower and General
Contractor stating the percentage of the Project completed through the date
payment is requested.
(b) If requested by Lender, invoices (or other reasonable evidence)
substantiating the Construction Costs covered by the Draw Request.
5
<PAGE>
(c) Executed acknowledgments of payment and releases of liens
(through the date covered by the immediately preceding monthly advance) from
General Contractor and all laborers, subcontractors and materialmen
performing labor or services or supplying materials in connection with the
Project.
Lender will withhold from each advance of Construction Costs an amount
(the "RETENTION") equal to ten percent (10%) (or such other amount as may be
set forth in the Construction Contract and approved in writing by Lender) of
the amount of the Construction Costs for which disbursement is requested.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, the amount of the Retention
shall be held by Lender until the conditions for final advance set forth
below are satisfied. If a disbursement is requested to pay for materials
stored off-site, prior to making the disbursement Lender must receive (i) a
copy of a bill of sale or other acceptable evidence establishing that such
materials were purchased free and clear of liens and encumbrances and not
pursuant to a conditional sales contract, (ii) evidence the materials are
stored at a suitable location acceptable to Lender, and are insured against
damage or destruction for the full insurable value under a policy of
insurance which names Lender as an additional loss payee, and (iii) evidence
the materials are segregated from materials and equipment not intended to be
incorporated into the Project.
7.3 DISBURSEMENTS FOR OTHER COSTS.
(a) INTEREST. If there is an interest reserve in the Project Budget,
prior to completion of the Improvements (and after completion of the
Improvements to the extent the net operating income from the Project is
insufficient to pay interest due on the Note), Lender will make monthly
disbursements of Funds from the interest reserve set forth in the Project
Budget to pay interest on the Note. If in Lender's opinion, the undisbursed
balance of the Loan allocated to interest in the Project Budget (plus any
anticipated net operating income of the Project) is not sufficient to pay
interest on the Note as it comes due, on demand, Borrower shall pay the
interest from its own monies (not Loan proceeds or other Funds) or shall
deposit additional funds with Lender to be added to the interest reserve, at
Lender's option. The foregoing is not intended to alter or limit Borrower's
obligation to make the monthly payments on the Note as the same come due if
the interest reserve is not adequate or if Lender otherwise is not required
to make such disbursements.
(b) NON-CONSTRUCTION COSTS. Borrower may from time to time request
the disbursement of Funds to pay costs other than Construction Costs if such
other costs are included in the Project Budget, and the disbursement request
is otherwise approved by Lender. With each request, Borrower will provide
Lender with such evidence as Lender may require verifying the amount and
purpose of the costs for which disbursement is requested. Prior to disbursing
Funds to any person or entity for Project management or development fees,
real estate fees or commissions or otherwise, Lender shall have received,
reviewed and approved executed copies of the applicable agreement providing
for the payment of such fees or commissions, and Lender shall be reasonably
satisfied that the person or entity to be paid has duly performed the
services for which payment is requested.
7.4 INSPECTIONS BY LENDER. At Lender's option, Lender may retain, at
Borrower's expense, an architect, structural engineer or other construction
consultant (the "CONSULTANT") to inspect the Project, review Draw Requests,
the Construction Contract, the Plans and Specifications, the Project Budget
and such other documents or information as Lender may require, visit the
Project and perform such other duties as Lender deems necessary or desirable
in connection with Lender's administration of the Loan. The Consultant may
make periodic inspections of the Improvements during construction to review
and comment on construction progress and percentage of completion, conformity
of the work with the Plans and Specifications, activity and coordination
among trades and quality of workmanship, and the accuracy of the statement of
percentage of completion reflected in any Certificate of Job Progress
submitted to Lender. Any inspections by Lender or the Consultant shall be
solely for the purpose of protecting the interests of Lender, and such
inspections shall not be construed as a representation to Borrower or any
other person or entity that there has been or will be strict compliance on
the part of any contractors or subcontractors with the Plans and
Specifications or construction of the Improvements is or will be free from
faulty materials or workmanship. If the Consultant does not approve a
Certificate of Job Progress, or any other materials or information submitted
to Lender with a Draw Request, Lender will have no obligation to make the
requested advance in an amount greater than the amount approved by the
Consultant.
6
<PAGE>
7.5 AMOUNT OF DISBURSEMENTS. Lender shall have no obligation to make an
advance if (a) the percentage of Construction Costs in the Project Budget
which has already been disbursed is greater than the percentage of completion
of the Project, as certified to Lender in any Certificate of Job Progress and
verified by Lender or the Consultant, (b) the percentage of any Construction
Cost line item in the Project Budget which is already paid out is greater
than the percentage of completion of that line item, or (c) in Lender's
reasonable opinion the value of the Property as then improved is not adequate
security for the Loan.
7.6 LOAN BALANCING. Lender shall have no obligation to make a requested
advance if in Lender's reasonable opinion the Loan is not "IN BALANCE"; i.e.,
the undisbursed balance of the Loan, plus any undisbursed Funds previously
deposited by Borrower with Lender, if any, are not sufficient to pay all
costs necessary to complete the Project (including without limitation the
payment of interest on the Loan) in accordance with the approved Plans and
Specifications and the approved Project Budget, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and conditional sales contracts, whether the deficiency is
attributable to changes in the work or in the Plans and Specifications or to
any other cause. If at any time Lender determines the Loan is not in balance,
within five (5) days after demand, Borrower will deposit with Lender the
amount necessary to "balance" the Loan, and all Funds so deposited with
Lender shall be held and disbursed by Lender in accordance with this
Agreement prior to the disbursement of any additional Loan proceeds. If
Lender makes such demand, Lender shall have no obligation to make further
disbursements of Funds until such additional funds are deposited with Lender
by Borrower. Each Draw Request or other request for disbursement submitted
to Lender will constitute Borrower's representation and warranty to Lender
that the Loan is "in balance".
7.7 USE AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Funds disbursed by Lender at Borrower's
request shall be used only to pay costs associated with the Project, and only
in accordance with Borrower's Draw Requests or other requests for
disbursement. Lender shall not be obligated to advance more than one
hundred percent (100%) of the actual costs of the Project as shown in the
Project Budget. Advances of Funds shall be made to Borrower, or at Lender's
option, directly to the contractors, materialmen, laborers and
subcontractors involved in the Project. Lender shall have no obligation to
assure that Funds advanced to Borrower or others are applied against the cost
of the Project. Borrower accepts full responsibility for the proper
application of all Funds advanced by Lender at Borrower's request. Lender may
rely solely on Draw Requests or other disbursement requests submitted by
Borrower or its agents and upon other affidavits, statements or reports
submitted by Borrower or its agents in making advances of Funds. Borrower
shall defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any losses, demands,
claims, attorneys' fees and expenses which may arise out of the
misapplication or misuse of Loan proceeds (or other Funds) by Borrower or by
any other person paid at Borrower's direction.
7.8 FINAL DISBURSEMENT. The final disbursement of Funds, including the
Retention, shall be made only if the conditions set forth below are met to
Lender's satisfaction. Furthermore, the amount of the final disbursement
shall be subject to Lender's approval.
(a) The Improvements and the Project are completed in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications as confirmed by Architect, and Lender or
the Consultant, and if requested by Lender, Lender shall have received as-
built Plans and Specifications for the Project.
(b) Lender shall have received, at Borrower's expense, an
endorsement to the Title Policy insuring the lien-free completion of the
Project, without exceptions other than those previously approved by Lender.
(c) If requested by Lender, Lender shall have received an as-built
survey of the Project and an endorsement to the Title Policy eliminating
title exceptions regarding possible encroachments and/or violations of
easement rights.
(d) If requested by Lender, Lender shall have received copies of all
licenses, permits and certificates necessary for the lawful use and occupancy
of the Project, including but not limited to a copy of the final certificate
of occupancy for the Project, which shall be unconditional unless otherwise
agreed by Lender, or other evidence acceptable to Lender that the Project is
completed and accepted by all necessary governmental authorities.
7
<PAGE>
(e) If requested by Lender, Lender shall have received a final
accounting of Project costs from Borrower and/or General Contractor.
(f) Lender shall have received fully executed lien releases from
General Contractor and all persons or entities performing labor or services
or supplying materials in connection with the Project, or Borrower shall have
provided Lender with an appropriate surety bond from a surety acceptable to
Lender or affirmative title insurance coverage with respect to potential
laborers', mechanics' or materialmens' liens.
7.9 EXPENSES, FEES AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Lender may elect to use Funds to pay when due any Loan Fee
payable to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, interest on the Loan, expenses
of Lender which are Borrower's responsibility under this Agreement, and
such other sums as may be payable from time to time by Borrower to Lender
with respect to the Loan. Such payments at the option of Lender may be made
by debiting or charging the Funds in the amount of such payments without
first disbursing such amounts to Borrower. In addition, Borrower hereby
authorizes Lender, at its option, to make such other payments as Lender deems
necessary or desirable to maintain the validity and priority of the Deed of
Trust, including the following, unless Borrower makes the payment within
ten (10) days after written notice from Lender:
(a) pay delinquent assessments and taxes on the Project:
(b) pay title insurance premiums, recording fees, and hazard,
liability and flood insurance premiums;
(c) pay contractor's liens or claims of liens against the Project,
subject to any right Borrower may have to contest such liens pursuant to
the terms of the Deed of Trust; and
(d) pay judgments affecting the Project, subject to any right
Borrower may have to contest such judgments pursuant to the terms of the
Deed of Trust.
8. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS; ADDITIONAL BORROWER COVENANTS. Throughout the
term of the Loan, Borrower, at Borrower's expense, will provide Lender with
the following:
8.1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: TAX RETURNS. Except as otherwise agreed in
writing by Lender, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year
of Borrower, Borrower shall provide Lender with financial statements from
Borrower showing Borrower's financial condition as of the end of the most
recent fiscal year, and within ninety (90) days after the end of each
Guarantor's fiscal year, financial statements from each Guarantor showing
his, her or its financial condition as of the end of the most recent fiscal
year. All such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (or such
other accounting practices as Lender may approve) and certified as correct
by the applicable person or the chief financial officer of the applicable
entity. Further, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, within one
hundred twenty ( 120) days after the end of each tax year of Borrower and
each Guarantor, Borrower will provide Lender with a copy of the United
States federal income tax return filed by Borrower and each Guarantor for
his, her or its tax year most recently ended.
8.2 LEASES ETC. Borrower will provide Lender with copies of any
sale, lease, rental or other occupancy agreements entered into with respect
to all or any part of the Project, other than sales conducted in accordance
with any partial release provisions in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any sale which will result in the full repayment of the Loan.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, without Lender's prior
consent, Borrower will not enter into any lease (i) on a form of lease not
previously approved by Lender, (ii) for a term of three (3) years or more,
or (iii) containing an option or right to purchase all or any part of the
Project. With respect to any lease of the whole or any part of the Project
involving an initial term of three (3) years or more, Borrower shall not,
without the prior written consent of Lender (a) permit the assignment or
subletting of all or any part of the lessee's rights under the lease unless
the right to assign or sublet is expressly reserved by the lessee under the
lease, (b) amend or modify the lease for a lesser rental
8

bills that could result in a lien against the Project are being promptly
paid when due.
8.4 ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Whenever requested by Lender, Borrower
shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender such instruments and documents
as Lender may reasonably require to further evidence the Loan or perfect or
continue the perfection of Lender's liens against and security interests in
the collateral for the Loan.
8.5 OPERATING STATEMENTS. Within fifteen (15) days following the end
of each calendar month, commencing with the first calendar month following

Lender with detailed operating statements of the Project, in a form
acceptable to Lender, showing the income and expenses for such month and the
net operating income for the Project.
8.6 RENT ROLL. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each
calendar month, commencing with the first calendar month following
completion and the initial occupancy of the Project, Borrower shall provide
Lender with a rent roll which shall include such information as Lender may

monthly rent, and the amount of any deposits or prepaid rent Borrower is
holding.
8.7 MARKETING AND OPERATING PROJECTIONS. Within fifteen (15) days

required in Section 8.5 above, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount
equal to the net operating income from the Project, up to the amount of the
monthly debt service required under the Note. For purposes of this
Agreement, "net operating income" means all revenues generated by the
Project, less the actual ordinary and necessary expenses of the Project
(other than debt service on the Note), and less reserves (in amounts
reasonably acceptable to Lender) for periodic expenses (such as real property
taxes) and for working capital. Compliance with this Section 9 shall not be
required so long as Grantor is the occupant and operator of the business
conducted on the Project.

is not dismissed within ten (10) days after the date the order is issued.
10.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of a default, Lender may declare
the Loan to be immediately due and payable in full; make no further
disbursement of Funds, and pursue any one or more of the remedies set forth
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document concurrently or successively
in addition to all other remedies available to Lender at law or in equity.
No remedy confirmed upon or reserved to Lender in this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or the Certificate and Indemnity, or at law or in equity, shall
be exclusive of any other remedy available to Lender, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, all such remedies shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other remedy available to Lender.
10.3 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender will not
accelerate the maturity of the Loan (a) because of a monetary default under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the default is not cured
within ten (10) days of the date on which Lender mails or delivers written
notice of the default to Borrower, or (b) because of a non-monetary default
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the default is not
cured within thirty (30) days of the date on which Lender mails or delivers
written notice of the default to Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "monetary default" means a failure by Borrower to make any payment
required of it pursuant to the Note or any other Loan Document, and the term
"non-monetary default" shall mean a failure by Borrower or any other person
or entity; to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the Certificate and Indemnity, other than the
obligation to make payments provided for in the Note or any other Loan
Document. If a non-monetary default is capable of being cured and the cure
cannot reasonably be completed within the thirty (30) day cure period, the
cure period shall be extended up to ninety (90) days so long as Borrower has
commenced action to cure within the thirty (30) day cure period, and in
Lender's opinion, Borrower is proceeding to cure the default with due
diligence. None of the foregoing shall be construed to obligate Lender to
forbear in any other manner from exercising its remedies and Lender may
pursue any other rights or remedies which Lender may have because of a
default.
10.4 COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. Upon the occurrence of a default,
Lender shall have the right, in person or through a third party designated
by Lender, to take possession of the Project and perform any and all work and
labor necessary to complete the Project. All sums expended by Lender in so
doing shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Note and secured by the
Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. Any Funds disbursed by Lender in
excess of the maximum principal amount of the Loan will be considered an
additional loan to Borrower, bearing interest at the interest rates provided
for in the Note, and secured by the Deed of Trust and all other Loan
Documents. Lender, by electing to so complete the Project will not be deemed
to have assumed any liability to Borrower or any other person or entity for
completing the Project or for the manner or quality of construction of the
Project, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such liability on behalf of
Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender as its true and
lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete the
Project in the name of Borrower and to (a) use any Funds for the purpose of
completing the Project; (b) make such additions, changes and corrections in
the Plans and Specifications or the Project Budget as Lender deems desirable;
(c) employ contractors, subcontractors, architects and other persons as
shall be required for such purposes; (d) pay, settle or compromise all
existing bills and claims which may be liens against the Project or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of the Project or for clearance of
title; and (e) do any and all things which Borrower might do on its own
behalf in order to complete the Project free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this paragraph shall
be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
11 . SECURITY INTEREST - BORROWER FUNDS; OFFSETS. Borrower hereby grants
Lender a security interest in all of Borrower's right, title and interest,
if any, in the undisbursed Loan proceeds and in all other monies of Borrower
of every kind and nature which are or will be on deposit with Lender, whether
in the Loan Account or otherwise. Following a default, Lender may
10
<PAGE>
apply any Funds in Lender's possession or under Lender's control at any time
in satisfaction of Borrower's obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents
or the Certificate and Indemnity, without notice to Borrower. Furthermore,
following a default, Lender may apply to any obligation of Borrower under
this Agreement, or other Loan Document or the Certificate and Indemnity, or
under any other agreement or on any other account, any funds of Borrower
which are in Lender's possession or control at any time, including the
proceeds of the Loan or any other loan Borrower may now have or hereafter
have in process with Lender.
12. UNAUTHORIZED LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES.
12.1 NO LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES. No equipment, materials, fixtures or
any other part of the Improvements shall be purchased or installed under
conditional sales agreements or other arrangements where a right is reserved
or may accrue to anyone to remove or repossess such items. Borrower will
keep the Project free and clear of all liens and claims of any kind, whether
or not superior to the Deed of Trust, except for permitted exceptions set
forth in the Title Policy or otherwise approved in writing by Lender.
12.2 LIEN CLAIMS. If any lien or claim of lien is filed against the
Project, or if a notice of intent to file such a lien is received by Lender,
or if a judgment or other encumbrance is placed against the Project, at
Lender's option, such event shall constitute a default under this Agreement
unless Borrower obtains a release and satisfaction of such lien, claim of
lien, judgment or encumbrance, or provides Lender with a bond (or other
security) acceptable to Lender in the amount of one hundred fifty percent
(150%), or such other amount as Lender may require in writing, of the lien,
claim of lien, judgment or encumbrance within twenty (20) days of written
notice by Lender to Borrower of the existence of such claim, lien or
encumbrance; however, in lieu of posting such bond (or other security)
Borrower may provide Lender with affirmative title insurance coverage from
the issuer of the Title Policy, in form and content acceptable to Lender,
with regards to the lien, claim, judgment or encumbrance. In addition,
Lender, at its option, may withhold from the Funds such amount as may be
required by applicable law, or sufficient, in Lender's opinion, to pay the
full amount of the lien, claim, judgment or other encumbrance, plus any
related interest, attorneys' fees and costs, whichever is greater. Lender's
rights under this paragraph shall not be affected by any claim by Borrower
that the claim, lien, judgment or encumbrance is invalid, it being understood
that the decision of Lender to pay or withhold shall be made by Lender in
its reasonable discretion, subject only to Borrower's right to provide a
bond or other security satisfactory to Lender as provided above.
13. NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement is made entirely
for the benefit of Borrower, Lender and Lender's successor's in interest,
and no third person shall have any rights under this Agreement whatsoever.
Neither this Agreement or the proceeds of the Loan shall be assignable by
Borrower without Lender's prior written consent, which consent may be
withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Any attempted assignment by
Borrower without Lender's consent shall be void. Borrower acknowledges it
shall have no right, title or interest in and to any of the Loan proceeds
until such time as such Funds have been disbursed by Lender in accordance
with this Agreement. Lender and its successors and assigns may assign the
whole or any part of the Loan or this Agreement or have other financial
institutions participate in the Loan. Each assignee or participating
institution shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of Lender
under this Agreement, all other Loan Documents and the Certificate and
Indemnity.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 SIGNS AND ADVERTISING. Until the Project is completed and the
Loan is paid in full, Lender may place a sign on the Project indicating
Lender is providing the construction financing for the Project. In addition,
Lender may publicize the financing and may indicate on such signs and
publicity releases the name of Borrower and a general description of the
Project.
14.2 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Whether or not suit is brought, Borrower
shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and
costs and allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, incurred by or on behalf
of Lender in connection with the Loan, including without limitation costs
incurred in collection of the Loan, in protecting the security for the Loan,
in foreclosing, enforcing or interpreting this Agreement, the Note, any other
Loan Document or the Certificate and Indemnity, or resulting from Lender
being made a party to any litigation because of
11
<PAGE>
the existence of the Deed of Trust, any other Loan Document or the
Certificate and Indemnity Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
if Borrower becomes the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding,
Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Lender also shall have the
right to commence an action or appear in any proceeding or action affecting
the Project, the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, or the payment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall have the right to incur
expenses, employ counsel and pay legal fees (including the allocated costs of
in-house counsel) and to charge the Loan account or any other funds on
deposit with Lender by Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower
shall pay all fees, expenses and charges of Lender with respect to the Loan,
including any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the
satisfaction of any pressing or funding conditions, such as credit report
services, appraisal and internal appraisal review fees, title insurance
charges and other "out-of-pocket" expenses of Lender, regardless of whether
the Loan is closed, including charges of outside legal counsel and/or
allocated costs of in-house legal counsel.
14.3 NOTICES. Any notice given pursuant to this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be personally delivered or mailed. If mailed, a notice
shall be sent certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and
shall be deemed to be received on the date of delivery or the third (3rd)
business day following the date of mailing, whichever shall first occur. Any
notice to Borrower shall be mailed or delivered to the address of the
"Grantor" specified in the Deed of Trust or such other address as Borrower
may from time to time specify in writing, and any notice to Lender shall be
mailed or delivered to the address of the "Beneficiary" specified in the Deed
of Trust or such other address as Lender may from time to time specify in
writing.
14.4 APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. This
Agreement is the result of substantial negotiations between Borrower and
Lender and shall be construed in accordance with the fair intent and meaning
of the language contained in this Agreement in its entirety and not for or
against either party, regardless of which party (or its legal counsel) was
responsible for its preparation. Borrower and Lender each represent to the
other that each has consulted with its own legal counsel in connection with
this Agreement.
14.5 NONWAIVER. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict
performance of a covenant for obligation of Borrower under this Agreement
shall not be deemed a waiver of Lender's right to demand strict compliance
therewith in the future, nor will a periodic advance of Funds by Lender
waive any condition to advance not fulfilled at the time of the advance.
14.6 MODIFICATION. No modification, amendment or waiver of any term
or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Certificate
and Indemnity shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by
Lender and Borrower.
14.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement, any other Loan Document or the
Certificate and Indemnity may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
DATED as of the day and year first written above.

REGARDING BUILDING LAWS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
This Agreement is made as of December 20, 1995 by THE COEUR D'ALENES
COMPANY, an Idaho corporation ("Indemnitor"), for the benefit of SEATTLE-
FIRST NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association ("Lender"), to induce
Lender to make a loan (the "Loan") to Indemnitor in the amount of
$1,688,000.00.
In consideration of Lender agreeing to make the Loan, Indemnitor
certifies, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows for the
benefit of Lender:
I . DUE lNVESTIGATION. Indemnitor has duly investigated (a) the present
and past uses of the "Property" (defined below) and has made due inquiry of
the appropriate governmental agencies and offices having jurisdiction over
the Property as to whether the Property or any "Other Property" (defined
below) is or has been the site of storage or contamination by any "Hazardous
Substances", (defined below) and Indemnitor has examined or been advised of
all "Environmental Laws" (defined below) applicable to the Property; and (b)
the condition of all buildings and other improvements on the Property and
been advised of all "Building Laws" (defined below) applicable to the
Property. Upon Lender's request, Indemnitor will provide Lender with a
written summary of its investigations and copies of all inquiries and
responses.
2. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Indemnitor has no knowledge of (a) the presence
of any Hazardous Substances on the Property or (b) any spills, releases,
discharges or disposal of Hazardous Substances that have occurred or are
presently occurring on or onto the Property or any Other Property, other than
the presence, use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Substances generally
used in the ordinary course of operating, maintaining or developing
properties such as the Property, all of which Indemnitor covenants have and
will be used, stored and disposed of in accordance with commercially
reasonable practices and all applicable Environmental Laws.
3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Indemnitor has no knowledge of (a) any failure
by any person or entity to comply with all currently applicable Environmental
Laws with respect to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage
handling, transport and disposal of Hazardous Substances on or from the
Property; or (b) any failure of the Property to comply with all currently
applicable Building Laws. Indemnitor shall cause the Property to be
continuously in compliance with all Building Laws and Environmental Laws.
Indemnitor warrants the Property is the only real property or interest in
real property required to operate the Property (and all improvements thereon)
in compliance with all Building Laws, except as otherwise disclosed to Lender
in writing. All certificates of occupancy and other governmental permits and
approvals necessary for the occupancy of the property have been obtained. All
buildings and other improvements currently located on the Property are
located outside a 100-year flood plain, or are covered by adequate flood
insurance.
4. FUTURE BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS. All buildings, structures and
other improvements to be built or constructed on the Property shall be
constructed in accordance with and shall fully comply with all applicable
Building Laws and shall be located outside of any 100 year flood plain or
will be continuously covered by adequate flood insurance. With respect to all
buildings or improvements to the Property, if any, to be constructed and paid
for with Loan proceeds, Indemnitor represents and warrants no changes to the
plans and specifications for such buildings or improvements, submitted to and
approved by Lender, have been required by governmental authorities, and all
permits necessary to construct such buildings and improvements have been
issued on the basis of the plans and specifications submitted to and approved
by Lender.

<PAGE>
5. NO RELEASE OR WAIVER. Indemnitor has not and will not release or
waive the liability of any previous owner, lessee or operator of the
Property, or any other person or entity potentially responsible under
applicable Environmental Laws for the presence or removal of Hazardous
Substances on or from the Property, and Indemnitor has made no promises of
indemnification regarding Hazardous Substances to any person or entity other
than Lender.
6. NOTICE TO LENDER. Indemnitor will immediately notify Lender if
Indemnitor receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of (a) any Hazardous
Substances or other environmental problem or liability with respect to the
Property or Other Property, (b) any lien, action or notice resulting from the
violation of any Environmental Laws or any Building Laws, or (c) the Property
being in violation of any applicable Building Law or Environmental Law. At
its own cost, Indemnitor will take all actions which are necessary or
desirable to clean up any Hazardous Substances affecting the Property,
including removal, containment or other remedial action required by
applicable law, or cause the Property to be in compliance with any applicable
Environmental Law or Building Law. Any notice sent to Lender pursuant to this
paragraph will describe with particularity any actual, potential or alleged
violation of Building Laws or Environmental Laws, and shall contain
Indemnitor's plan or recommendations for correcting the violations.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnitor shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses,
liens, liabilities, penalties, fines, lawsuits and other proceedings and
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and
architectural, engineering and accounting costs and all repair and clean-up
costs) which accrue to or are made against or incurred by Lender, or are in
any way connected with (a) the inaccuracy of any of the certifications,
representations or warranties of Indemnitor contained in this Agreement, (b)
any activities on the Property during Indemnitor's ownership, possession or
control of the Property which directly or indirectly result in the Property
or any Other Property being contaminated with Hazardous Substances, or the
Property being in violation of any applicable Building Laws or Environmental
Laws, or (c) the discovery and/or cleanup of Hazardous Substances deposited
or existing on the Property or any Other Property, and (d) any breach by
Indemnitor of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
If Lender becomes the owner of or acquires an interest in or rights to the
Property by foreclosure or by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the deed
of trust (the "Deed of Trust") or any other instruments securing the Loan, or
by any other means, the foregoing indemnification obligation of Indemnitor
shall survive such foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or other
acquisition of the Property. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
Indemnitor shall have no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold Lender
harmless from any claim, demand, damage, loss, lien, liability, etc. arising
from or out of the activities of Lender or its agents on the Property on or
after transfer of the Property to Lender pursuant to foreclosure proceedings
or in lieu thereof.
8. UNCONDITIONAL AND UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS. Indemnitor's obligations
under this Agreement are unconditional and shall not be limited by any
limitations on liability provided for in any document or instrument
evidencing or securing the Loan (collectively the "Loan Documents"). The
certifications, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
Indemnitor set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the
indemnity provided for in Paragraph 7 above), (a) are separate and distinct
obligations from Indemnitor's obligations with respect to the Loan and under
the Loan Documents, (b) are not secured by the Deed of Trust or any other
Loan Document, (c) shall not be discharged or satisfied by foreclosure of the
lien of the Deed of Trust or any lien or security interest created by any
other Loan Document, and (d) shall continue in effect after any transfer of
the Property, including without limitation transfers pursuant to foreclosure
proceedings (whether judicial or nonjudicial), or by any conveyance in lieu
of foreclosure.

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,950,000.00 November 12,
1996
Seattle,
Washington
THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE ("NOTE") IS THE 'RESTATED
NOTE' REFERRED TO IN THE LOAN MODIFICATION AND ADDITIONAL ADVANCE AGREEMENT
OF EVEN DATE HEREWITH BETWEEN MAKER AND LENDER. THIS NOTE SUPERSEDES AND
REPLACES IN ITS ENTIRETY BUT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A NOVATION OF THAT CERTAIN
NOTE DATED DECEMBER 20, 1995, BY MAKER AND PAYABLE TO LENDER IN THE FACE
AMOUNT OF $1,688,000.00. THIS NOTE CONTAINS MODIFICATIONS AND CHANGES IN THE
TERMS OF THE LOAN BY LENDER TO MAKER.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("MAKER") promise(s) to pay to the
order of BANK OF AMERICA NW, N.A., doing business as SEA FIRST BANK
("LENDER"), at its principal office in Seattle, Washington, or at such other
place or places or to such other party as the "HOLDER" (defined below) may
from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of ONE MILLION NINE
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,950,000.00), or so much thereof
as may be advanced, in lawful money of the United States of America, together
with interest thereon, on the following agreements, terms and conditions. The
term "HOLDER" as used in this Note means Lender or any future holder of this
Note, and their successors and assigns.
1. TERM. This Note shall have an initial term (the "CONSTRUCTION
TERM") expiring on January 1, 1997. The last day of the Construction Term is
referred to in this Note as the "MATURITY DATE". If Maker is not then in
default under this Note or any other documents or instruments executed by
Maker in connection with the loan (the "LOAN") evidenced by this Note
(collectively with this Note, the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"), on or before the last
day of the Construction Term, the Loan shall convert to a permanent loan (the
"PERMANENT LOAN") if Maker has complied with the following conditions, and
with all other conditions as may be specified in any other Loan Document:
(a) Maker shall have provided the Holder with current financial
statements of Maker, any general partner in Maker and any guarantor of the
Loan, each certified as correct by the appropriate party, showing no material
adverse change in any such person's or entity's financial condition from the
date of this Note, and otherwise acceptable to the Holder in its sole
discretion;
(b) Maker is not then in default under this Note or any other loan
Document;
(c) The improvements to be constructed with the proceeds of the
Loan shall have been completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications for the improvements approved by Lender and a certificate of
occupancy shall have been issued by the applicable governmental authority
allowing the use and occupancy of the improvements for their intended
purposes; and
(d) Maker shall have complied with such other conditions to the
conversion as the Holder may reasonably require and specify in writing prior
to the date of the conversion.
If the Loan is converted to the Permanent Loan as provided above, the
Maturity Date shall be extended to that date which is one hundred twenty
(120) months from the first day of the first calendar month following the
date of the conversion unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Holder.
1
<PAGE>
2. INTEREST. Interest shall commence to run on each advance under this
Note from the date of the advance and will be computed on the outstanding
balance of this Note as it exists from time to time at the interest rates
provided for in subparagraphs 2(a) and 2(b) below, as applicable. After
maturity, or after default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of this Note at an interest rate equal to four percentage
points (4%) per annum above the interest rate otherwise applicable to this
Note.
(a) CONSTRUCTION TERM INTEREST. During the Construction Term, the
principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a per annum interest
rate equal to the sum of the publicly announced prime rate (the "PRIME RATE")
of Lender, as the same may change from time to time, plus three hundred
twenty-five one thousandths of one percentage point (0.325%) per annum.
Interest rate adjustments caused by changes to the Prime Rate shall be
effective the same day as the adjustments to the Prime Rate are effective.
Interest on this Note during the Construction Term shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period
for which interest is payable.
(b) PERMANENT LOAN INTEREST. If the Loan converts to the Permanent
Loan, interest shall accrue on the principal balance of this Note either at a
variable interest rate as provided in subparagraph 2(b)(i) below (the
"VARIABLE RATE"), or at a fixed interest rate as provided in subparagraph
2(b)(ii) below (the "FIXED RATE"). After conversion to the Permanent Loan,
interest on this Note shall be calculated A 30-day month and a 360-day year.
(i) VARIABLE RATE. Unless Maker elects to have interest
calculated at the Fixed Rate pursuant to subparagraph 2(b)(ii) below,
interest shall accrue on the principal balance of this Note at the Variable
Rate. The initial Variable Rate shall be equal to the "LIBOR INDEX" (defined
below) as of the date the Loan converts to the Permanent Loan, plus two and
three-fourths percentage points (2.750%) per annum, rounded to the next
highest one-eighth of one percent (0.125%). The Variable Rate, if applicable,
will change five (5) months after the first payment date stated in
subparagraph 3(b) below, and every sixth (6th) month thereafter (each such
date being referred to in this Note as an "INTEREST CHANGE DATE").
(1) LIBOR INDEX - CURRENT INDEX - Changes in the
Variable Rate will be based on changes in the 180-day LIBOR as defined below
(the "LIBOR INDEX"). If the LIBOR Index is no longer available, the Holder
will choose a new index based upon comparable information and give Maker
notice of the choice. The most recently available LIBOR Index fifteen (15)
Business Days before each Interest Change Date is the "CURRENT INDEX" .
(2) CALCULATION OF VARIABLE RATE - Before each Interest
Change Date, if applicable, the Holder will calculate the new Variable Rate
which shall be equal to the Current Index, plus two and three-fourths
percentage points (2.750%) per annum, rounded to the next highest one-eighth
of one percent (0.125%). This new interest rate will be the Variable Rate
until the next Interest Change Date.
(3) LIBOR MEANS THE LONDON INTERBANK OFFER RATE,
adjusted at the Holder's option for statutory reserves, deposit insurance,
regulatory capital, taxes and assessments, if any, and is the average of the
rates of interest, on a per annum basis, at which deposits in United States
dollars having a term of 180 days are offered by major banks in immediately
available funds to prime banks in the London Interbank market at 11:00 A.M.
(London time) on the date the Loan converts to a Permanent Loan, or the day
which is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Change
Date, as applicable. This rate is reported on Telerate, a national and
international medium which provides interest rate quotations daily, as quoted
by the British Bankers Association as Interest Settlement Rates on page 3750
(or such other page as may replace it). Such interest rate quotation, as
provided by Telerate, shall be deemed conclusive and final with respect to
LIBOR determinations for so long as Telerate continues to make such interest
rate reports. If Telerate or the British Bankers Association report is no
longer available for 180-day maturities, a comparable publication or report
containing such information selected by the Holder will be used. If there is
no such publication or comparable publication containing such information,
the 180-day LIBOR shall be the average rate (rounded if necessary to the
nearest one thousandth of a percent) at which dollar deposits having a
maturity of 180 days are offered by at least two major banks in an
2
<PAGE>
interbank market where Eurodollars are being traded to prime banks in
immediately available funds on the LIBOR determination date described above
or as soon thereafter as such offer quotes can be obtained.
(4) BUSINESS DAY means a day on which commercial banks
are generally open for business in Seattle, Washington and London, England.
(5) The amount of adjustment for reserves, deposit
insurance, regulatory capital, taxes and assessments may change on any
Interest Change Date depending on such charges then being assessed against
the Holder. Such charges may change due to various factors, including but not
limited to, changes in the requirements for reserves and capital adequacy
promulgated by the Federal Reserve System of the United States and/or other
state and federal regulatory agencies, statutory changes affecting the
Holder, and/or imposition of taxes, FDIC fees and/or assessments. Each
determination of an adjustment amount shall be made by the Holder in its sole
and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding upon Maker and
shall be determined without benefit of or credit for prorations, exceptions
or offsets that may be available to the Holder from time to time.
(ii) FIXED RATE. Prior to the date the Loan converts to the
Permanent Loan, Maker may elect by written notice to the Holder to have
interest on the entire principal amount of this Note calculated for the
entire term of the Permanent Loan at a Fixed Rate, as provided below.
Further, so long as Maker is not in default under the terms of this Note or
any Loan Document, at any time after the Loan converts to the. Permanent
Loan, Maker at its option, and upon the payment of a fee to the Holder equal
to 0.250% of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note (or $500.00,
whichever is greater), may elect by written notice to the Holder to have
interest calculated on the entire principal balance of this Note at a Fixed
Rate calculated as provided below for the remainder of the term of the
Permanent Loan. Maker's ability to fix the interest rate on this Note
pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b)(ii) is subject to the availability to the
Holder of matchfunding opportunities for a time period equivalent to the term
of this Note following the date of Maker's election to fix the interest rate.
(1) CALCULATION OF FIXED RATE - If Maker elects to have
a Fixed Rate apply to this Note, interest shall accrue on the principal
balance of this Note at a per annum rate equal to Lender's reserve adjusted
"Fixed Rate Index" as quoted by Lender on the date the interest rate is
converted to the Fixed Rate, for a period equivalent to the term of the
Permanent Loan (or remainder thereof, as applicable), plus two and thirty-
three one-hundredths percentage points (2.330%) per annum, rounded upward to
the next highest one-eighth of one percent (0.125%). The Fixed Rate Index may
be adjusted at the Holder's option to reflect statutory reserves, deposit
insurance, regulatory capital, taxes and assessments, if any, as set forth in
subparagraph 2(b)(i)(5) above.
(2) DATE OF CONVERSION - The interest rate will be
converted to the Fixed Rate on the date the Holder receives Maker's written
notice electing the Fixed Rate option, provided such notice is received
before noon, Seattle time, on a Business Day, and the fee payable in
connection with
the election has been received by Holder. If notice is received by Holder
after noon, Seattle time, on a Business Day, the interest rate applicable to
this Note will convert to a Fixed Rate on the next Business Day. For purposes
of this subparagraph 2(b)(ii)(2) only, the term "BUSINESS DAY" means a day on
which commercial banks are generally open for business in Seattle,
Washington.
3. PAYMENTS.
(a) CONSTRUCTION TERM PAYMENTS. During the Construction Term,
Maker shall make monthly payments of interest on this Note as it accrues.
Payments shall be due on the first day of each calendar month during the
Construction Term, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month
following the initial advance by the Holder under this Note.
(b) PERMANENT LOAN PAYMENTS. If the Loan converts to the Permanent
Loan, Maker shall make monthly payments of principal and interest to the
Holder, in amounts sufficient to
3
<PAGE>
fully amortize the principal balance of this Note over a twenty (20) year
amortization period in substantially equal payments, based on the interest
rate applicable to this Note, calculated as provided below. Such monthly
payments of principal and interest shall be due on the first day of each
calendar month during the term of the Permanent Loan, commencing on the first
day of the second calendar month following the month in which the Loan
converts to the Permanent Loan. The monthly payments required on this Note
following conversion to the Permanent Loan shall be calculated as follows:
(i) VARIABLE RATE PAYMENTS. If interest is accruing on this
Note at a Variable Rate, the amount of the initial monthly payments shall be
in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of this Note
at the initial Variable Rate, in substantially equal monthly payments over
the amortization period specified above. PROMPTLY AFTER THE LOAN CONVERTS TO
THE PERMANENT LOAN, THE HOLDER WILL PROVIDE MAKER WITH A CLOSING STATEMENT
(OR OTHER WRITTEN NOTICE) WHICH WILL CONFIRM THE INITIAL VARIABLE RATE AND
THE AMOUNT OF THE INITIAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS DUE UNDER THIS
NOTE. The monthly payment will change after each Interest Change Date to an
amount sufficient to repay the then unpaid principal balance of this Note in
full at the then current interest rate, in substantially equal monthly
payments over the balance of the amortization period specified above. Until
the payment is again changed, Maker shall pay the new monthly payment each
month beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after the
applicable Interest Change Date. The Holder will mail or deliver to Maker a
notice of any changes in the interest rate applicable to this Note, and any
resulting changes in the monthly payments required under this Note, prior to
the date the first payment is due after the applicable Interest Change Date.
(ii) FIXED RATE PAYMENTS. If interest is accruing on this Note
at a Fixed Rate, the amount of the monthly payments shall be in an amount
sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of this Note at the
applicable Fixed Rate, in substantially equal monthly payments over the
amortization period specified above, or the remainder thereof, as applicable.
THE APPLICABLE FIXED RATE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE MONTHLY PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST PAYMENTS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONFIRMED IN WRITING BY THE
HOLDER (EITHER PURSUANT TO A CLOSING STATEMENT OR OTHER WRITTEN NOTICE) AFTER
THE INTEREST RATE IS FIXED AND PRIOR TO THE DATE THE FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE AT
THE FIXED RATE.
(c) GENERAL. At the option of the Holder, all payments under this
Note, including payment at maturity, shall be made in same day funds. On the
Maturity Date (as the same may be extended as provided in this Note), the
unpaid principal balance of this Note, all unpaid accrued interest and all
other sums then due and owing pursuant to this Note or any other Loan
Document shall be due and payable in full. Each payment shall be applied
first, at Holder's option, to any unpaid late charges or other sums payable
by Maker under this Note or any other Loan Document, then to interest to the
due date of the payment, and then to the principal balance of this Note.
4. AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL. The payments on this Note and any other sums
secured by the Deed of Trust will be deducted on the first (lst) day of each
month from Seafirst Deposit Account No. 6831402, or such other Seafirst
Deposit Account as may be authorized in the future.
5. LATE CHARGES; RETURNED ITEM FEE. If any payment due hereunder is
not
received by the Holder within fifteen (15) days of the due date, at the
option of the Holder without waiving such default or any of its remedies, a
late charge shall be added to the delinquent payment in the amount of four
percent (4%) of the full payment not timely paid. Any such late charge shall
be due and payable on demand, and the Holder, at its option, may (a) refuse
any late payment or any subsequent payment unless accompanied by the
applicable late charge, (b) add the late charge to the principal balance of
this Note, (c) pay any late charge with advances of the undisbursed proceeds
of the Loan, if any, or (d) treat the failure to pay the late charge as
demanded as a default under this Note. If a late charge is added to the
principal balance of this Note, it shall bear interest at the same rate as
the principal balance of this Note. Any payment to Holder by check, draft or
other item shall be received by Holder subject to collection and will
constitute payment when collected not when received. For each "nsf' or
returned check, draft or other item, in addition to any applicable late
charge, Maker shall pay to the Holder on demand a returned item fee in
accordance with the Holder's schedule of such fees then in effect.
4
<PAGE>
6. PREPAYMENT. During the Construction Term, and thereafter, so long
as
interest is calculated on this Note at a Variable Rate, this Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, without payment of a prepayment
fee. During any period when a Fixed Rate is applicable to this Note, this
Note may be prepaid only as set forth in EXHIBIT A attached. Partial
prepayments, if permitted, shall not postpone nor reduce the amount of the
monthly payments required under this Note.
7. DEFAULT. After a default under any of the Loan Documents, or if
Maker
fails to make any payment under this Note when due, the Holder, at its
option, without notice to Maker (except as provided below), may declare the
entire principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon
and other charges payable by Maker pursuant to this Note or any other Loan
Document immediately due and payable in full, and the Holder may exercise any
and all other rights or remedies available to it under any Loan Document, at
law or in equity. Any additional interest due because of a default shall
accrue from the date of default and shall be paid as a condition to the
curing of the default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder will not
accelerate the Maturity Date (a) because of a monetary default by Maker under
this Note or any other Loan Document unless the default is not cured within
ten (10) days of the date on which the Holder mails or delivers written
notice of the default to Maker, or (b) because of a nonmonetary default by
Maker under this Note or any other Loan Document unless the default is not
cured within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Holder mails or
delivers written notice of the default to Maker. For purposes of this Note,
the term "MONETARY DEFAULT" means a failure by Maker to make any payment
required pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, and the term
"NONMONETARY DEFAULT" shall mean a failure by Maker to perform any obligation
contained in this Note or any other Loan Document, other than the obligation
to make the payments provided for in this Note or any other Loan Document. If
the nonmonetary default is capable of being cured and cannot reasonably be
made within the thirty (30) day cure period, the cure period shall be
extended up to ninety (90) days so long as Maker has commenced action to cure
within the thirty (30) day cure period, and in the Holder's opinion, Maker is
proceeding to cure the default with due diligence. None of the foregoing
shall be construed to obligate the Holder to forbear in any other manner from
exercising its remedies and the Holder may pursue any other rights or
remedies which the Holder may have because of the default.
8. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The rights and remedies of any Holder under
this Note or any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, shall be
cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively or together
against Maker, any guarantor of this Note, or any security for this Note. A
failure by any Holder to exercise its option to accelerate this Note upon the
occurrence of a default or to exercise any other rights to which it may be
entitled shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option
or any such rights in the event of any subsequent default, whether of the
same or a different nature.
9. WAIVERS. Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and all other persons
or entities who may become liable for all or any part of the obligations
evidenced by this Note, jointly and severally: waive diligence, presentment,
protest and demand, and also notice of protest, demand, non- payment,
dishonor or maturity and also recourse to suretyship defenses generally; and
consent to any and all renewals, extensions and modifications of the terms of
this Note or any other Loan Document, including the time for payment, and
agree any such renewal, extension or modification or the release or
substitution of any security for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or
any other indulgences, shall not affect the liability of said parties for the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note. Any such renewals, extensions,
modifications, releases or indulgences may be made without notice to such
parties.
10. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Whether or not suit is brought Maker shall pay
on demand all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs and
allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, incurred by or on behalf of the
Holder in connection with this Note, including without limitation costs
incurred in the collection of this Note, in protecting the security for this
Note or in foreclosing or enforcing this Note or any other Loan Document, or
resulting from the Holder being made a party to any litigation because of the
existence of this Note or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Maker becomes the subject of any bankruptcy
or
5
<PAGE>
insolvency proceeding, Maker shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by the
Holder in connection with such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
11. MAXlMUM INTEREST. Maker represents and warrants the proceeds of
this Note shall be used solely for commercial, investment and business
purposes, and not for personal, family or household purposes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note or any other Loan Document,
interest, loan fees and charges payable by reason of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note shall not exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by
applicable law. If by virtue of applicable law, sums in excess of such
maximum would otherwise be payable, then such excess sums shall be construed
as having been immediately applied by the Holder to the principal balance of
this Note when received. If at the time any such sum is received by the
Holder, the principal balance of this Note has been paid in full, such sums
shall be promptly refunded by the Holder to Maker, less any sums due to the
Holder.
12. SECURlTY. This Note is secured by a deed of trust dated December
10, 1995 (the "DEED OF TRUST") encumbering certain real property located in
Spokane County, Washington (the "PROPERTY"). Unless otherwise specified in
this Note, all notices given pursuant to this Note must be in writing and
will be effectively given if given in accordance with the terms of the Deed
of Trust.
13. GENERAL. This Note shall be binding upon Maker and Maker's
beneficiaries, heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and
assigns. If Maker consists of more than one person or entity, all of such
persons and entities shall be jointly and severally liable for Maker's
obligations under this Note. This Note is governed by and shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Each person or entity
executing this Note consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction and
venue of the courts of the State of Washington and the United States federal
courts located therein, in any action relating to or arising out of the
enforcement or interpretation of this Note or any other Loan Document. Each
such person or entity further agrees not to assert in any such action that
the proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
14. ARBITRATION. Any dispute relating to this Note or the Loan (whether
in contract or tort) shall be settled by arbitration if requested by Maker,
the Holder or any other party to the dispute (such as a guarantor); PROVIDED,
both Maker and the Holder must consent to a request for arbitration relating
to an obligation secured by real property. The arbitration proceedings shall
be held in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the United States
Arbitration Act (i.e., Title 9, U.S.C.). There shall be one arbitrator who
shall decide whether an issue is arbitrable or whether any claim is barred by
a statute of limitations. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction. Commencement of a lawsuit shall not constitute
a waiver of the right of any party to request arbitration if the lawsuit is
contested. Each party shall have the right before, during and after the
commencement of any arbitration proceeding to exercise any of the following
remedies, in any order or concurrently: (i) self-help remedies such as setoff
or repossession; (ii) judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against real or
personal property collateral; and (iii) provisional remedies including
injunction, appointment of receiver, attachment, claim and delivery and
replevin. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive a party's right to

right the Holder may have to foreclose the Deed of Trust judicially as a
mortgage, or nonjudicially pursuant to the power of sale.
