     (i) Usury  Limitation.  In no event  shall the amount  paid or agreed to be
paid to the Holder for the use or forbearance of money to be advanced  hereunder
exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the then applicable usury laws.
If it is  hereafter  determined  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  that the
interest  payable  hereunder  is in excess of the  amount  which the  Holder may
legally collect under the then applicable usury laws, such amount which would be
excessive  interest  shall be  applied to the  payment  of the unpaid  principal
balance due  hereunder  and not to the payment of interest or, if all  principal
shall previously have been paid, promptly repaid by the Holder to the Borrower.

     (j)  Severability.  Every  provision of this Secured Note is intended to be
severable.  If any term or provision  hereof is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, such illegal or invalid term or provision
shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and
provisions shall remain binding and enforceable.

     (k) Certain  Borrower  Waivers.  The  Borrower  and any  endorsers  of this
Secured Note hereby waive diligence,  presentment, protest, demand and notice of
every kind and, to the fullest  extent  permitted by law, the right to plead any
statute of limitations as a defense to any demand hereunder.
