              Section
        1.03         
Borrower’s Waivers.  Borrower, for itself and all others
        who
        may become liable for payment of all or any portion of this Promissory Note,
        hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor,

        appraisement, and exemption now or hereafter provided, both as to party and
        property, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced

              Section
        1.04         
Unconditional Payment.  Any payment received by Lender
        hereunder that is required to be refunded or recovered from Lender as a voidable
        preference or a fraudulent transfer or is otherwise set-aside pursuant to
        the
        Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other debtor relief law shall not be
        considered as a payment made on the Loan or under this Promissory Note. 
        Borrower’s liability under this Promissory Note to make such payment shall be
        reinstated, notwithstanding that this Promissory Note may have been marked
        satisfied and returned to Borrower or otherwise canceled, and such payment
        shall
        be immediately due and payable upon demand.

                                                                                                           
        ARTICLE
        II

                                                                                    
        DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

              Section
        2.01         
Event of Default.  A default (“Event of Default”)
        shall occur under this Promissory Note if an “Event of Default”, as that term is
        defined under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, has occurred
        and
        remains uncured.

              Section
        2.02         
Cumulative and Independent Remedies.  Following an Event of
        Default (which has not been waived in writing by Lender), Lender, without
        notice
        or consent from Borrower, shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies
        as have been provided to Lender hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and other
        Loan Documents, by law or in equity.  Such rights and remedies are
        cumulative and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively
        in
        Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No
        partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further exercise
        thereof.  Notice or demand given to Borrower in any instance will
        not
        entitle Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
        constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any
        circumstance without notice or demand (except where expressly required by
        this
        Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents to be given).
        Lender
        may release security for the Loan, may release any party liable for the Loan,
        may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, and
        may
        apply any security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without
        prejudice to its rights under this Promissory Note.  Lender will not
        be
        deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearances
        granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights
        or
        remedies.

                                              ARTICLE
        III

                                MISCELLANEOUS
        PROVISIONS

              Section
        3.01         
Savings Clause.  At no time is Borrower required
        to pay
        interest on the Loan or on any other payment due under any of the Loan Documents
        (or to make any other payment deemed by law or by a court of competent
        jurisdiction to be interest) at a rate which would subject Lender either
        to
        civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum
        interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to pay. 
        If
        interest (or such other amount deemed to be interest) paid or payable by
        Borrower is deemed to exceed such maximum rate, then the amount to be paid
        immediately shall be reduced to such maximum rate and thereafter computed
        at
        such maximum rate.  All previous payments in excess of such maximum
        rate
        shall be deemed to have been payments of principal (in inverse order of
        maturity) and not on account of interest due hereunder.  For purposes
        of
        determining whether any applicable usury law has been violated, all payments
        deemed by law or a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest shall,
        to the
        extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated,
        allocated and spread over the full term of the Loan in such manner so that
        interest is computed at a rate throughout the full term of the Loan which
        does
        not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

              Section
        3.02         
Incorporation from Loan Agreement.  All provisions of
        Articles 12, 17 and 18, inclusive, of the Loan Agreement are
        incorporated into this Promissory Note by this reference thereto, as if fully
        reproduced herein.

              Section
        3.03         
Joint and Several.  If Borrower consists of more than
        one
        Person, each such Person shall be jointly and severally liable
        hereunder.
