and full payment and performance of all terms of this Note.

4.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

         The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an
"Event of Default." Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Payee shall

and without notice, the principal balance remaining unpaid under this Note, and
all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder, shall

commission, be deemed to waive any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder
or otherwise unless such waiver is in writing and signed by an officer of Payee,

them for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced by an affidavit signed by
an officer of Payee setting forth the amount then due, plus attorneys' fees as
provided in the Note, plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive
all rights of appeal. If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall
have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original
as a warranty of attorney. Co-Makers waive the right to any stay of execution
and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereinafter in effect. No single
exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed
to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any
court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished
and may be exercised from time to time as Payee may elect until all amounts
owing on this Note have been paid in full.

This Note shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Payee and its
successors and assigns.

15.      SEVERABILITY.

provision shall be fully severable. The effect of such holding shall be confined
to the provision held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and shall not
impair or invalidate the remainder of this Note.

16.      OTHER GENERAL AGREEMENTS.

         A. This Note is a business Note that comes within the purview of

         D. If the interest provisions of this Note shall result at any time

month, exceeds the limit of usury or other laws applicable to this Note, all
sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest of the period in
question shall, without further agreement or notice between or by any party
hereto, be applied to principal immediately upon receipt of such monies by

accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment.

         E. Payee may at any time assign its rights in this Note or any part
thereof. Co-Makers may not assign their interest in this Note either voluntarily
