a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time.  The

rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime 
Rate change is announced within Bank.

(b)  Payment of Interest.  Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable 
on the last day of each month, commencing June 30, 1997.

(c)  Default Interest.  From and after the maturity date of this Note, or 
such earlier date as all principal owing, hereunder becomes due and 
payable by acceleration or otherwise. The outstanding principal balance of 
this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per

to 4% above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this

borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal 
amount stated above.  The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at 
any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder 
hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any 
Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the 
holder.  The Outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and

the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of 
such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, 
or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of 
any account of any Borrower with the holder, which advances, when so 
deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the 
benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than 
those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against 
such account.  The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether 
any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by any
