writing by the Holder of this Promissory Note, the principal sum of TWO THOUSAND

tender in payment of all debts at the time of payment.

penalty.

Company.

      


      The entire principal amount of the
Loan, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  In the event

day.

per annum.

      


      It is the intent of parties hereto that
in no event shall the amount of interest due or payment in the nature of
interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable law, as amended from time to time, and in the event any such payment
is paid by the Maker or received by Holder, then such excess sum shall be
credited as a prepayment of principal, unless the Maker shall notify the Holder,
in writing, that the Maker elects to have such excess sum returned
forthwith.

      


      This Promissory Note shall not be
modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcements of such modification is sought.

and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be
granted by the Holder with respect to this Promissory Note.

hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent
default.  No exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude
the exercise of any other right or remedy.
