ARTICLE II
DEFAULTS

2.01       Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note:

a.     failure by Maker to make any interest payment required under this Note when the same shall become due and payable (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and the continuation of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following notice thereof; or

b.     failure by Maker to make any payments of principal required under this Note when the same shall become due and payable (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and the continuation of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following notice thereof; or

c.     the occurrence of (x)(i) a default or an event of default with respect to any indebtedness of Maker for borrowed money that accrues interest and (ii) such indebtedness is accelerated by such creditor or (y) for the non-payment of indebtedness of Maker for borrowed money at its scheduled final maturity (including any extension or refinancings thereof); or

d.     Maker, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or any substantial portion of its property or assets; or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

e.     an involuntary case or proceeding is commenced against Maker under any Bankruptcy Law and is not dismissed, bonded or discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter, or a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against Maker in an involuntary case or proceeding; (ii) appoints a custodian of Maker or for all or substantially all of its properties; or (iii) orders the liquidation of Maker; and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) days.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Interest Rate shall equal fifteen percent (15%) per annum from and after the date of such Event of Default until the date upon which this Note is repaid in full. If an Event of Default occurs, Holder may, at its option, declare, by notice in writing to Maker (the "Acceleration Notice"), the entire principal amount of this Note (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to be immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration such principal and interest shall become and be forthwith due and payable without any further notice, presentment, protest, or demand of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Maker. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 2.01(d) or 2.01(e) hereof occurs, the principal amount of this Note (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of Holder. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Holder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of any provision of this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted to Holder under this Note.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS

3.01       No Waiver: Amendment. Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or default of this Note. No delay by Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right hereunder or otherwise; and no waiver whatsoever or modification of the terms hereof, including but not limited to an extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, shall be valid unless set forth in writing by Holder. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No modifications or amendments made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part unless Holder agrees otherwise in writing.

3.02       Limit of Validity. The provisions of this Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or retention of money under this Note ("Interest") exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Maker and Holder shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note (whether or not then due) or at the option of Holder be paid over to Maker, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal amount of this Note so that the Interest thereof for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Maker hereby agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to Maker at its address set forth in Section 3.06, such service being hereby acknowledged by Maker to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against Maker in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Holder to bring proceedings against Maker in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
