       Lender's  forms,  at such rates of  interest  and on such terms as may be
       agreed upon, evidencing the sums of money so borrowed or any indebtedness
       of the  Corporation to Lender,  and also to execute and deliver to Lender

       at any other time or times,  and may be either in  addition to or in lieu

       connection   with  or   pertaining   to  the  giving  of  the  liens  and
       encumbrances.

       Negotiate Items. To draw,  endorse,  and discount with Lender all drafts,
       trade  acceptances,  promissory notes, or other evidences of indebtedness
       payable to or belonging to the  Corporation in which the  Corporation may
       have an  interest,  and either to  receive  cash for the same or to cause
       such  proceeds  to be credited  to the  account of the  Corporation  with
       Lender,  or to cause  such  other  disposition  of the  proceeds  derived
       therefrom as they may deem advisable.

       Further Acts. In the case of lines of credit, to designate  additional or
       alternate individuals as being authorized to request advances thereunder,
       and in all cases,  to do and perform  such other acts and things,  to pay
       any and all fees  and  costs,  and to  execute  and  deliver  such  other

effect and Lender may rely on these  Resolutions  until written  notice of their
revocation shall have been delivered to and received by Lender.  Any such notice
shall not affect any of the Corporation's agreements or commitments in effect at
the time notice is given.

BE IT FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that the Corporation  will notify Lender in writing at
Lender's  address  shown above (or such other  addresses as Lender may designate
from time to time) prior to any (a) change in the name of the  Corporation,  (b)
change in the assumed  business  name(s) of the  Corporation,  (c) change in the
management of the  Corporation,,  (d) change in the  authorized  signer(s),  (e)
conversion of the Corporation to a new or different type of business entity,  or
(f) change in any other aspect of the  Corporation  that  directly or indirectly
relates to any agreements  between the Corporation and Lender.  No change in the
name of the Corporation will take effect until after Lender has been notified.
