                  This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust With Assignment of
Rents of even date herewith executed by Borrower, as Trustor, for Lender
above-named, as Beneficiary

                  The undersigned promises and agrees that in case of default:

               (i)   In the payment of any installment of interest and/or
principal and interest due under this Note on or before the fifth (5th) day

of Trust With Assignment of Rents securing repayment of this Note; or

               (iii) In the event that Borrower shall make a general assignment

collectively commence accruing interest at an annual rate equal to the Note Rate
plus three percent (3%) added to such Note Rate until such time as all payments
and additional interest are paid, together with the curing of any other default
which may have occurred, at which time the interest rate shall revert to the
Note Rate.

not limited to fees or expenses incurred in any foreclosure proceeding, court
actions or in any bankruptcy or Chapter 11 proceeding initiated by or against
Borrower, including a reasonable attorney's fee, in addition to and at the time

be required to cure such default. In the event legal action is commenced for the
collection of any sums owing hereunder the undersigned agrees that any judgment
issued as a consequence of such action against the maker hereof shall bear
interest at an annual rate equal to the Note Rate, plus three percent (3%) added
to such Note Rate until ful1y paid.

             The Borrower waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of non-
