THIS ALLONGE is made and entered into as of the 7th day of March 0000,

(the "Borrower"), and AGSTAR FINANCIAL SERVICES, PCA, and its successors and

RECITALS
A. The Borrower previously executed and delivered to Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company (the "Bank") a Revolving Line of Credit Note in the original
principal amount of $1,785,700.00 dated to be Effective on the Conversion Date
(the "Note") to which this Allonge is attached.
B. The Borrower, the Agent and the Banks have agreed to make certain
modifications to the Note, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Allonge.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants contained in this Allonge and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by
the Borrower, the Agent and the Bank, the parties agree as follows:
1. Modification of Note. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the
Credit Agreement and the Note, the Note is hereby amended as follows:
a. Paragraph #2 of the Note is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:
The outstanding principal balance of this Revolving Line of Credit
Note shall bear interest at a variable rate determined by the Agent to
be 345 basis points above the LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time
as set forth in and as adjusted in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
rate of interest under this Revolving Line of Credit Note shall be
subject to adjustment by Agent pursuant to the provisions of the
Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.11 thereof)
and this Revolving Line of Credit Note.
b. Paragraph #3 of the Note is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:
The "LIBOR Rate" (London Interbank Offered Rate) means the One Month
London Interbank Offered Rate ("One Month LIBOR"), rounded upward to
the nearest ten thousandth of one percent, reported on the tenth day
of the month preceding each Interest Period by the Wall Street Journal
in its daily listing of money rates, defined
therein as the average of interbank offered rates for dollar deposits
in the London market. If a One Month LIBOR rate is not reported on the
tenth day of a month, the One Month LIBOR rate reported on the first
business day preceding the tenth day of the month will be used. If
this index is no longer available, Agent will select a new index which
is based upon comparable information.
c. Paragraph #4 of the Note is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:
The LIBOR Rate shall initially be determined as of the date hereof and
shall thereafter be adjusted in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement. Interest on the outstanding
principal balance of this Note shall be computed on the basis of a
year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, but charged for actual
days principal is outstanding.
2. Remaining Terms. It is further understood and agreed by and between the
Borrower, the Agent and the Bank that all other terms and provisions of the Note
shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable by the Agent and the Banks
against the Borrower as fully as though no amendments had been made hereby, and
this Allonge shall not be deemed to hinder, compromise or lessen the
enforceability of the Note, or any mortgage, security interest, or guaranty
securing repayment of the Note, in any way.
