Note,  together with all accrued interest  thereon,  immediately due and payable

common  stock  held by Payee  at the time of the  Event  of  Default  and  (iii)
exercise any and all rights and remedies  available to it under  applicable law,

alternative.  No waiver by Payee of any right or remedy under this Note shall be
effective unless in a writing signed by Payee. Neither the failure nor any delay
in exercising  any right,  power or privilege  under this Note will operate as a

power or privilege.  To the maximum extent  permitted by applicable  law, (a) no
claim or right of Payee arising out of this Note can be discharged by Payee,  in
whole or in part, by a waiver or  renunciation of the claim or right unless in a
writing,  signed by  Payee;  (b) no  waiver  that may be given by Payee  will be
applicable  except in the specific  instance  for which it is given;  and (c) no
notice to or demand on Maker will be deemed to be a waiver of any  obligation of
Maker or of the right of Payee to take further  action  without notice or demand
as provided in this Note. Maker hereby waives presentment,  demand,  protest and
notice of dishonor and protest.
