loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid
interest on February 16, 2001. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly
payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning
April 16, 2000, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day

payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs and any late
charges, then to any unpaid interest, and any remaining amount to principal.

year (366 during leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance,
multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.

as Lender may designate in writing.

index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate
upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than

proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender's interest in
the Collateral is not jeopardized.
Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities. now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral, Grantor may contest in good
faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any
proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's interest in the
Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
Hazardous Substances. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien on
the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental Laws or for the
generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release
or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance. The representations and
warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in
investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1)
releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or
contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs
under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless

provision of this Agreement. This obligation to indemnity shall survive the

Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage
together with such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the
Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to
Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender.
Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to lime the
policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least
ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer
of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance
policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of
Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of
Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in
which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide
Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If
Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under
this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance
as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses "single interest
insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.
Application or Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor
fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All proceeds of any
insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held
by Lender as pad of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement
of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of
expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost
of repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of
the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay
all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds
which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and
which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration or the Collateral
shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
Insurance Reserves. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by
monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to
produce, al least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at
least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before
payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand
pay any deficiency to Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a
general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender
may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor
as they become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums
required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums
shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender
reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender
may reasonably request including the following: (1) the name of the insurer; (2)
the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured; (5)
the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the
<PAGE>

manner of determining that value; and (6) the expiration dale of the policy. In
addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than
annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as
applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until default, Grantor may have possession of the
tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use
it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related
Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall
not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is
required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. If
Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an
Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for
that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion,
shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request
by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable
care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any
rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or
maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.
LENDER'S MPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Collateral also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
Payment Default. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Grantor.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this Agreement, the
Note, or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect,
<PAGE>

any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time

business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part
of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
insolvency laws by or against Grantor.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession
or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any governmental agency
against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of
any of Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However,
this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by
Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice
of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any or the preceding events occurs with respect
to guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the
Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or
becomes incompetent.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Cure Provisions. if any default, other than a default in payment, is curable
and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of
this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no
event of default will have occurred) if Grantor, after receiving written notice
from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within ten
(10) days; or (2) ii the cure requires more than ten (10) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient
to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and
necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably
practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Washington Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:

including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.

any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other
documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by
Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Grantor
to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral contains
other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor
agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable
efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession.
Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer,
or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender's own name
or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private
sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor
reasonable notice of the lime after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The requirements of reasonable
notice shall be met if such notice is given at least fifteen (15) days before
the lime of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of
the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding,
insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of
the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with
interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed
to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to
protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding or
pending foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and
apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the
Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender's
right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent
value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.
Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any
Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and receive the
payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security
for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of
preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of
accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper,
causes in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for,
settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as
Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For
these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive,
open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail

secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be
amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any
or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or
otherwise.

Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Related
Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy will not bar
any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
perform an obligation or Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure
to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise
its remedies.
