and manner hereafter provided.

         IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT:

         1.     Interest. The Corporation promises to pay interest on the
                --------
principal amount of this Fourth Amended and Restated 10% Secured Convertible
Note (the "Note") at the rate per annum of ten percent (10%), compounded

         3.     Right to Prepay. The Corporation shall have the right to
                ---------------
prepay all or any part of the Note.

         4.     Right to Convert.
                ----------------

                (a)      At any time before the close of business on the
         Maturity Date but after the earlier of (A) termination of the Fifth
         Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
         Agreement"), dated as of September 27, 2001, among the Corporation,
         the Holder and AMCON Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub") or (B) the
         occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may convert the
         outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of this
         Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C
         Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the
         Corporation (the "Preferred Stock"). The price at which shares of
         Preferred Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called
         the "Preferred Conversion Price") shall be $1.00 per share of
         Preferred Stock.

                (b)      At any time following 61 days advance notice to the
         Corporation given before the Maturity Date, the Holder may convert
         the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of
         this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock
         of the Corporation (the "Common Stock"). The price at which shares
         of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called
         the "Common Conversion Price") shall be equal to the quotient of
         $2,865,348, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock that are
         outstanding on the date of conversion (excluding for this purpose
         shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note, the
         Preferred Stock, and the Fourth Amended and Restated 10% Secured
         Convertible Note in the principal sum of $400,000 payable by the
         Corporation to the Holder due on December 31, 2001).

                (c)      This Note may be converted in whole, but not in part,
         into Preferred Stock or Common Stock or a combination thereof
         (referred to collectively as the "Conversion Shares") based on the
         terms set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4, as the
         case may be.

         5.     Mechanics of Conversion. If the Holder desires to exercise
                -----------------------
such right of conversion, such Holder shall give written notice to the
Corporation in the form attached to this Note as Exhibit A (the "Conversion
Notice") of that Holder's election to convert a stated whole dollar amount of
outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of the Note into
shares of Preferred Stock, and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, and
surrender to the Corporation, at its principal office or at such other office
or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, this Note. The
Conversion Notice shall also contain a statement of the name or names (with
addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for Preferred Stock
and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, shall be issued. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to issue any certificates to
any person other than the Holder thereof unless the Corporation has obtained
reasonable assurance that such transaction is exempt from the registration
requirements of, or is covered by an effective registration statement under,
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and all applicable state
securities laws, including, if necessary in the reasonable judgment of the
Corporation or its legal counsel, receipt of an opinion to such effect from
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation. In no event would such
opinion be required if the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as
the case may be, could, upon conversion, be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or
Rule 144A under the Act. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within
five business days, after the receipt of the Conversion Notice (the "Date of
Conversion") and the surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares, the Corporation shall issue and deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Holder or his nominee or nominees, (i) a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Preferred Stock
and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon the conversion of this

                                      2

<PAGE>

Note, and (ii) if less than the full dollar amount of the outstanding
principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of this Note is being
converted, a new Note, of like tenor, evidencing the outstanding principal
balance and unpaid accrued interest of the Note after taking into account
such conversion, provided that all unpaid accrued interest shall be applied
to such partial conversion before any of the outstanding principal balance
shall be applied. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of
the close of business on the Date of Conversion and the replacement Note, and
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Preferred Stock
and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder or holders of record of such shares of
Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, as of the close of
business on such date.

         6.     Fractions of Share. The Corporation shall not be required to
                ------------------
issue fractions of a share or scrip representing fractional shares of
Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, upon the exercise of
any conversion right hereunder. If any fraction of a share of Preferred Stock
and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, would, except for the provisions of
this Section 6, be issuable upon any conversion exercise, the Corporation
shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction, equal to the value
of such fraction based on the Conversion Price per share of Preferred Stock.

         7.     Security.
                --------

                (a)    Except as limited by Subsection (d) of this Section 7,

                (b)      If any item of the Collateral is a motor vehicle or
         any othertype of collateral for which a certificate of title can be
         issued under any state or federal statute, the Corporation will
         cause a certificate of title evidencing ownership thereof to be
         endorsed to reflect Holder's interest therein, if such endorsement
         is required or permitted by law, concurrently with the execution of
         this Note or, as to any such Collateral in which the Corporation
         acquires rights after the date hereof, as soon as the Corporation
         has rights therein.

                (c)      The Corporation shall deliver all of the Collateral

         and all proceeds and products of any of such property and any
         insurance relating thereto (collectively, the "Excluded Items"), due
         to a prior security interest granted therein. Accordingly, Holder's
         security interest in the Excluded Items may be subject to such prior
         security interest, but such prior security interest shall not effect
         the validity of Holder's security interest in the Excluded Items.

                (e)      The security interests described herein are granted
         to Holder to secure the performance and payment of this Note and any
         and all obligations and liabilities of the Corporation to Holder,
         now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, absolute or
         contingent, joint or several, primary or secondary, due or to become

         and substitutions therefor and future advances (such obligations and
         liabilities being referred to herein as the "Secured Obligations").

                (f)      Upon the written request of Holder, the Corporation

         financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents
         signed only by Holder in any location in any jurisdiction where such
         authorization is permitted by law. Holder shall notify the
         Corporation in writing in the event it takes such actions. If
         applicable law requires the Corporation to sign any financing
         statement or other document for filing or recording purposes, Holder
         and/or any representative of Holder is hereby: (a) appointed as the

         of the following remedies, in addition to any other rights and
         remedies under law or equity of Holder however arising:

                         (i)     In its sole an absolute discretion and
                without notice thereof to the Corporation, in the name of
                Holder and/or the Corporation, Holder may: (A) notify the
                parties liable on all Accounts or Credit Card Receipts
                ("Account Debtors") on any or all Collateral that such
                Collateral has been assigned to Holder and that Holder has a
                security interest therein; (B) direct such Account Debtors to
                make payment due from them to the Corporation directly to
                Holder; and (C) enforce payment of, and collect by legal
                proceedings or otherwise, such amounts due, including to:
                demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue
                for, foreclose or realize upon or with respect to such
                Collateral.

                         (ii)    Holder may receive, open and dispose of mail
                addressed to the Corporation and endorse notes, checks,
                drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences
                of payment, shipment or storage or any other item
                constituting or relating to the Collateral on behalf of and
                in the name of the Corporation.

                         (iii)   Holder may take control and apply to the
                Secured Obligations any or all proceeds constituting a part
                of the Collateral.

                         (iv)    Holder may, without notice or demand, declare
                any or all of the Secured Obligations immediately due and
                payable, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
                contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or
                relating to any of the Secured Obligations.

                         (v)     Holder may set off any deposits or other
                moneys due from Holder to the Corporation against any of the
                Secured Obligations, whether or not the same is due and in
                any order of priority.

                         (vi)    Holder shall have all of the rights and be
                entitled to all of the remedies of a Holder under the
                applicable Uniform Commercial Code, including (without
                limitation) the right to take possession of the Collateral or
                any portion thereof, the right to sell, lease or otherwise
                dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof and the
                right to recover reasonable expenses of retaking, holding,
                preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like
                and, to the extent not prohibited by law, reasonable
                attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Holder.

                         (vii)   Holder may require the Corporation to
                assemble the Collateral and make it available to Holder at a
                place to be designated by Holder which is reasonably
                convenient to both parties, or, if the Corporation fails or
                refuses to so assemble the Collateral, Holder may, and the
                Corporation hereby authorizes and empowers Holder to, enter
                upon the premises wherever the Collateral may be in order to
                remove the same.

                         (viii)  Holder shall have the right to enter, with or
                without process of law and without breach of the peace, any
                premises where the Collateral is or may be located, and
                without charge or liability to Holder therefor seize and
                remove the Collateral from said premises and/or remain upon
                said premises and use the same for the purpose of collecting,
                preparing and disposing of the Collateral.

                         (ix)    Unless the Collateral is perishable or
                threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
                customarily sold on a recognized market, Holder will give the
                Corporation reasonable notice of the time and place of any
                public sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof or of
                the time after which any private sale or other intended
                disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of
                commercially reasonable and fair notice shall be met if such
                notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the Corporation at
                least 7 calendar days prior to the date of such sale or
                disposition. The Corporation agrees that: (A) a public sale
                of all or any of the Collateral is commercially reasonable
                irrespective of the amount received for such collateral at
