that the total borrowings outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the

     agreement, or any other contract or instrument executed in connection with
     this Note or securing this Note.

     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and upon ten (10) days written
notice thereof to Borrower without cure of the Event of Default within ten (10)
days of such notice, Lender, at its option, may declare all sums of principal
and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor all of which are expressly
waived by Borrower, and Lender shall have no obligation to make any further
advances hereunder. Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Lender in connection with
the enforcement of this Note or the collection of any sums due hereunder and
irrespective of whether suit is filed. Any principal or interest not paid when
due hereunder shall bear an additional cost equal to  four percent (4%) per
month of the total overdue payment amount from and after the due date, until
such overdue amount has been paid in full.

     This Note and all matters relating thereto, shall be governed by the laws
