the principal amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($250,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with Interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on May 2, 3004. In addition, Borrower will pay
regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid Interest due as of each payment
date, beginning June 2, 2003, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on
the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by
applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then
to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late
charges. The annual Interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis;
that is, by applying the ratio of the annual Interest rate over a year of 360
days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The Interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the highest base
rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks
that The Wall Street Journal publishes as the Prime Rate (the "Index"). The
Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan. Lender may designate a
substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current
Index rate upon Borrower's request, the interest rate change will not occur more
often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on
other rates as well. The Index currently is 4.250% per annum. The Interest rate
to off applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of
0.500 percentage points over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 4.750%
per annum, NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be
more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
EFFECTIVE RATE. Borrower agrees to an effective rate of interest that is the
rate specified in this Note plus any additional rate resulting from any other
charges in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with this
Note.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in
writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments
of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full",
"without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment,
Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and
Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All
written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other
payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full"

5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $25.00, whichever is greater.
