                          listed below. Any information obtained will be kept 
                          confidential and is to be used only for the purpose 
                          of determining credit worthiness of the applicant. Approval 
                          of this application shall constitute a binding agreement, 
                          according to the terms set forth herein, between the 
                          applicant and School Bus Parts Company as of the date 
                          approved. If approved, accounts are due and payable 
                          within thirty days of the statement date. We allow a 
                          1% discount on purchases if paid within ten days of 
                          the statement date. A service charge of 1.5% per month 
                          will be added to past due accounts. The applicant company 
                          and the undersigned expressly agree to pay for all costs 
                          of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, 
                          if the account herein applied for becomes past due. 
                          Any defense based upon extension of time for payment 
                          given by School Bus Parts Company is hereby waived.
