noted; provided, however, any failure by Payee to make such notation with
respect to the Term Loan or continuation, conversion, or payment thereof shall
not limit or otherwise affect Makers' obligations under the Agreement or this
Note.
4. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
in addition to and not in substitution of any of Payee's other rights and
remedies with respect to such Event of Default, the entire unpaid principal
balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest at the otherwise applicable rate
plus three hundred (300) basis points. In addition, interest, Expenses, the
Fees, and other amounts due hereunder not paid when due shall bear interest at
the Base Lending Rate plus three hundred (300) basis points until such overdue
payment is paid in full.
5. If any payment due hereunder, whether for principal, interest, or
otherwise, is not paid on or before the tenth (10th) day after the date such
payment is due, in addition to and not in substitution of any of Payee's other
rights and remedies with respect to such nonpayment, Makers shall pay to Payee,
a late payment fee ("Late Payment Fee") equal to five percent (5%) of the amount
of such overdue payment. The Late Payment Fee shall be due and payable on the
eleventh (11th) day after the due date of the overdue payment with respect
thereto.

States of America and in immediately available funds to Payee at Payee's office

with the terms of the Agreement.
7. In no event shall the interest rate and other charges hereunder exceed
the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the
event that such a court determines that Payee has received interest and other
charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess
shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to
reduce, the principal balance hereof, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed
amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there is no principal
balance outstanding, Payee shall refund to Makers such excess.
