      Interest on the Principal Amount from time-to-time remaining unpaid shall

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year
and a thirty (30) day month.

      3.    PAYMENT.

      Subject to Holder's rights in paragraph 7 below, Maker shall pay the
Principal Amount plus all accrued interest in 11 equal monthly installments of
$26,374.77 and a final installment of $26,156.73. The first installment shall be
paid thirty (30) days after the date of this Note and each subsequent

absolute discretion, may accept.

      6.    INTEREST ON DELINQUENT PAYMENTS.

      Any payment under this Note not paid when due shall bear interest at the

date until paid.

      7.    ACCELERATION UPON DEFAULT.

      At the option of Holder, all or any part of the indebtedness of Maker
hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, irrespective of any agreed
maturity date, if any part of the payments to be made under this Note are not
paid when due, provided, however, Maker shall be entitled to a grace period of
ten (10) days following written notice of such event of default to cure said
event of default.

      8.    NOTICE.

      Any notice to either party under this Note shall be given by personal
delivery or by express mail, Federal Express, DHL or similar airborne/overnight
delivery service, or by mailing such notice by first class or certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address set forth
below, or to such other address as either party from time to time may designate
by written notice. Notices delivered by overnight delivery service shall be
deemed delivered the next business day following consignment for such delivery
service. Mailed notices shall be deemed delivered and received in accordance
with this provision three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail.

      9.    SEVERABILITY.

      If any term or provision of this Note or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be determined in a legal proceeding
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term of this Note, then and, in that event: (A) the performance of
the offending term or provision (but only to the extent its application is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be excused as if it had never been
incorporated into this Note, and, in lieu of such excused provision, there shall
be added a provision as similar in terms and amount to such excused provision as
may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, and (B) the remaining part
of this Note (including the application of the offending term or provision to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in
full force and effect to the fullest extent provided by law.

      10.   USURY COMPLIANCE.

      All agreements between Maker and Holder are expressly limited, so that in
no event or contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of the consideration given
with respect to this Note, the acceleration of maturity of the unpaid Principal
Amount and interest thereon, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness which
is the subject of this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the
applicable usury laws. If, under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of
any provision of this Note shall involve transcending the highest interest rate
permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction deems applicable, then
the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to such maximum rate, and if,
under any circumstances whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive as interest an
amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal Amount under
this Note and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount under this Note, such excess
shall be refunded to Maker. This provision shall control every other provision
of all agreements between Maker and Holder.
