the Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender shall choose, whether or

performance, (b) grant a renewal or change in terms or conditions, or (c)
compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or more Obligors,
endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender deems advisable,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor, and no such act or
failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against Grantor or the Collateral.
All Collateral Secures Indebtedness. All Collateral shall be security for the
Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more offices or
branches of Lender and whether or not the office or branch where the
Indebtedness is created is aware of or relies upon the Collateral.
Collection of Collateral. Lender, at Lender's option may, but need not,
collect directly from the Obligors on any of the Collateral all Income and
Proceeds or other sums of money and other property due and to become due under
the Collateral, and Grantor authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender
exercises such option, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and
Proceeds and other sums of money and other property payable by the terms of
the Collateral and to accept Lender's receipt for the payments.
Power of Attorney. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (a) to demand, collect,
receive, receipt for, ▇▇▇ and recover all Income and Proceeds and other sums

payable from the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Collateral;
(b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments, receipts, checks,
drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or
compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and in the place
and stead of Grantor, execute and deliver Grantor's release and acquittance
for Grantor; (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or
institute or take part in any proceedings, either in Lender's own name or in
the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem
to be necessary or advisable; and (e) to execute in Grantor's name and to
deliver to the Obligors on Grantor's behalf, at the time and in the manner
specified by the Collateral, any necessary instruments or documents.
Perfection of Security Interest. Upon request of Lender, Grantor will
deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting the
Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of perfection of
Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used. Upon
request of Lender, Grantor will sign and deliver any writings necessary to
perfect Lender's security interest. If the Collateral consists of securities
for which no certificate has been issued, Grantor agrees, at Lender's option,
either to request issuance of an appropriate certificate or to execute
appropriate instructions on Lender's forms instructing the issuer, transfer

Loan No 33473 (Continued)
agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be, to record on its
books or records, by book-entry or otherwise, Lender's security interest in
the Collateral. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to
perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement. This
is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in effect even though
all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and even though for a
period of time Grantor may not be Indebted to Lender.
EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without
limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other
claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but
shall not be obligated to) pay 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 shall 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 (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or
(ii) 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. This Agreement 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 the occurrence
of an Event of Default.
LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable
care in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's
possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or
its value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no
responsibility for (a) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the
collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral,
(b) preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third
persons, (c) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges,
offers, tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or
(d) informing Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender
shall have no liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished
to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the Note or the
Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now
or at the time made or furnished.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any
time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a going
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
06-02-1999 COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 5
Loan No 33473 (Continued)
against the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness.
This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit accounts with Lender.
Deterioration of Collateral Value. The market value of the Collateral falls
below a specified amount determined by Lender from time to time, and Grantor
does not, by the close of business on the next business day after Lender has
sent written notice to Grantor of the deterioration, either (a) reduce the
amount of the Indebtedness to the amount required by Lender or (b) increase
the cash value of Collateral to the amount required by Lender by lodging with
Lender additional collateral security acceptable to Lender.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor 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.
Insecurity. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment
penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and payable,
without notice of any kind to Grantor.
Collect the Collateral. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's option
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of the
Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.
Sell the Collateral. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a unit
or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the Collateral
is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail to Grantor,
or any of them, notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the time and
place of any public sale, or of the date after which any private sale may be
made. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice is satisfied
if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor, or any of them,
at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If a public sale is
held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all requirements of notice to
the public by a single publication in any newspaper of general circulation in
the county where the Collateral is located, setting forth the time and place
of sale and a brief description of the property to be sold. Lender may be a
purchaser at any public sale.
Register Securities. Register any securities included in the Collateral in
Lender's name and exercise any rights normally incident to the ownership of
securities.
Sell Securities. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner
consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws, notwithstanding
any other provision of this or any other agreement. If, because of
restrictions under such laws, Lender is or believes it is unable to sell the
securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that Lender shall
have no obligation to delay sale until the securities can be registered, and
may make a private sale to one or more persons or to a restricted group of
persons, even though such sale may result in a price that is less favorable
than might be obtained in an open market transaction, and such a sale shall
be considered commercially reasonable. If any securities held as Collateral
are "restricted securities" as defined in the Rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or state securities
departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Grantor is an affiliate of the
issuer of the securities, Grantor agrees that neither Grantor nor any member
of Grantor's family will sell or dispose of any securities of such issuer
without obtaining Lender's prior written consent.
Foreclosure. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the
Collateral.
Transfer Title. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the
Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and instruments in the
name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as shall be necessary or
reasonable.
06-02-1999 COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 6
Loan No 33473 (Continued)
Other Rights and Remedies. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Application of Proceeds. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or
which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to
reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of
securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorney fees
as provided below, and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and
including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the
collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the Indebtedness
of Grantor to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to Grantor as the
interests of Grantor may appear. Grantor agrees, to the extent permitted by
law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the Collateral
to the Indebtedness.
Cumulative Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced
by this Agreement or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy
shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make
expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this
Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's
right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:

the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set

attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(and including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Grantor also

Successor Interests. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer of
the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties, their successors and assigns.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing end signed by Lender. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate
as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a
provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of
any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future

Principal Amount: $500,000.00 Initial Rate: 7.750%
Date of Note: June 2, 1999
PROMISE TO PAY. LIFEPOINT, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION ("Borrower") promises
to pay to City National Bank, a National Banking Association ("Lender"), or
order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount
of Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollar ($500.000.00) or so much as may be
outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal
balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the data of each
advance until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding
principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on June 2, 2000. In addition,
Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest
beginning July 2, 1999, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the
same day of each month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is
computed on a 365/360 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.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the City National Bank
Prime Rate (the "Index"). Prime Rate shall mean the rate most recently
announced by Lender at its principal office in Beverly Hills, California, as
its "Prime Rate." Any change in the Prime Rate shall become effective on the
same business day on which the Prime Rate shall change, without prior notice
to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's
request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates
as wall. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day.
The Index currently is 8.000%. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance of this Note will be at a rate equal to the index, resulting
in an initial rate of 7.750%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest
rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. In any event, even upon full prepayment
of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum
interest charge of $100.00. Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any
minimum interest charge, 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 Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to
continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will
reduce the principal balance due.
DEFAULT: Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens:
(a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due.
(b) Borrower breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails
to comply with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant,
or condition contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note,
or in any other agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender.
(c) Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement,
purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property
or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations
under this Note or any of the Related Documents.
(d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or
on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either
now or at the time made or furnished.
(e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of
Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against
