No. 1613272-0001 Date September 16, 1996
Promise to Pay: For value received, the undersigned (the "Borrower") promises
to pay to NBD Bank (the "Bank") or order, at any office of the Bank in the
State of Michigan, the sum of Sixty Thousand and no/100----------------------
----------------------DOLLARS ($60,000.00) plus interest computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days at the rate
of:
% per annum (the "Note Rate") until maturity, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, and at the rate of 3% per annum above
the Note Rate on overdue principal from the date when due until
paid; or
1.50% per annum above the rate announced from time to time by the Bank
as its "prime" rate (the "Note Rate"), which rate may not be the
lowest rate charged by the Bank to any of its customers, until
maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at the rate of
3% per annum above the Note Rate on overdue principal from the date
when due until paid. Each change in the "prime" rate will
immediately change the Note Rate.
In no event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law;
any interest payments which would for any reason be deemed unlawful under
applicable law shall be applied to principal.
The Borrower will pay this sum in thirty-five (35) consecutive monthly
installments of $785.00, including interest beginning October 16, 1996 and
continuing monthly until September 16, 1999 at which time the entire balance
of unpaid principal plus accrued interest shall be due and payable
immediately. Each payment will be applied first to accrued interest, then to
principal.
Loan Agreement: [complete if applicable] This note evidences a debt under the
terms of a between the Bank and the Borrower dated
and any amendments.
Prepayment: If a fixed interest rate is specified above, the Borrower may
prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this note on one business
day's notice provided that, in addition to all principal, interest and costs
owing at the time of prepayment, the Borrower pays a prepayment premium equal
to the Current value of (i) the interest that would have accrued on the
amount prepaid at the Note Rate, minus (ii) the interest that could accrue on
the amount prepaid at the Treasury Rate. In both cases, interest will be
calculated from the prepayment date to the maturity dates of the installments
being prepaid. Such maturity dates shall be determined by applying the
prepayments to the scheduled installments of principal in their inverse order
of maturity. "Treasury Rate" means the yield, as of the date of prepayment,
on United States Treasury bills, notes or bonds, selected by the Bank in its
discretion, having maturities comparable to the scheduled maturities of the
installments being prepaid. "Current Value" means the net present value of
the dollar amount of the interest to be earned, discounted at the Treasury
Rate. In no event shall the prepayment premium be less than zero. The
Borrower's notice of its intent to prepay shall be irrevocable. If the
balance of this note is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this
note, the resulting balance due shall be considered a prepayment due and
payable as of the date of acceleration. The Borrower agrees that the
prepayment premium is a reasonable estimate of loss and not a penalty. The
prepayment premium is payable as liquidated damages for the loss of bargain
and its payment shall not in any way reduce, affect or impair any other
obligation of the Borrower under this note.
Security: To secure the payment of this note and any other present or future
liability of the Borrower, whether several, joint or joint and several, the
Borrower pledges and grants to the Bank a continuing security interest in the
following described property and all of its additions, substitutions,
increments, proceeds and products, whether now owned or later acquired
("Collateral"):

possession or control of the Bank (other than property held by the Bank
solely in a fiduciary capacity);
2. All property or securities declared or acknowledged to constitute security
for any past, present or future liability of the Borrower to the Bank;
3. All balances of deposit accounts of the Borrower with the Bank;
4. The following additional property: Real Estate Mortgage dated 9/16/96 on

liabilities, without any requirement of mutual maturity.
