then-Applicable Federal Rate on such date.

The Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year as
applicable, and actual days lapsed. The Maker shall have the option of prepaying
the principal under this Note in whole or in part, without penalty or premium at

         nonpayment,  or  dishonor,  protest and notice of protest of this Note,

         of payment  of this Note or other  modifications  hereof,  from time to
         time, without notice, consent or consideration of any of the foregoing.

         (d) agrees to any substitution, exchange, addition or release of any of
         the indebtedness  evidenced by this Note, or the addition or release of
         any party or person liable hereon.

         (e) agrees that the Holder shall not be required first to institute any
         suit, or to exhaust its remedies  against the Maker in order to enforce
         the payment of this Notice.

                                                                   INITIAL ____
         (f) agrees that notwithstanding the occurrences of any of the foregoing
