amount of $1,000,000.

                  The  occurrence  of any  one or more  of the  following  shall
constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder:

                  (1) Failure to pay, when due, the principal,  any interest, or
         any other sum payable  hereunder  (whether upon maturity  hereof,  upon
         prepayment date, upon acceleration, or otherwise).

                  (2) The  failure  of the Maker  generally  to pay its debts as
         such debts  become due,  the  admission  by the Maker in writing of its
         inability  to pay its debts as such debts  become due, or the making by
         Maker of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;



                  (3) The commencement by the Maker of any case, proceeding,  or
         other   action   seeking   reorganization,   arrangement,   adjustment,
         liquidation,  dissolution,  or  composition  of its debts under any law
         relating to bankruptcy,  insolvency,  or  reorganization,  or relief of
         debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver,  trustee,  custodian, or
         other similar official for all or any substantial part of its property;

                  (4) The commencement of any case, proceeding,  or other action
         against Maker seeking damages greater than $250,000 and seeking to have
         any order for relief  entered  against the Maker as debtor,  or seeking
         reorganization,  arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,  dissolution, or
         composition  of the  Maker  or its  debts  under  any law  relating  to
         bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,  or  relief  of  debtors,  or
         seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar
         official  for  the  Maker  or for  all or any  substantial  part of the
         property of the Maker, and (i) the Maker shall, by any act or omission,
         indicate  its consent to,  approval of, or  acquiescence  in such case,
         proceeding or action; or (ii) such case, proceeding,  or action results
         in the entry of an order for relief  which is not fully  stayed  within
         seven business days after the entry thereof.

                  Upon the  occurrence  of any such Event of Default  hereunder,
the entire principal amount hereof, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereof,
shall be accelerated, and shall be immediately due and payable, at the option of
the  Holder  without  demand or  notice,  and in  addition  thereto,  and not in
substitution  therefor, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise any one or more
of the rights and remedies  provided by applicable law. Failure to exercise said
option or to pursue such other  remedies  shall not  constitute a waiver of such
option or such other remedies or of the right to exercise any of the same in the
event of any subsequent Event of Default hereunder.

                  In the event that the principal amount hereof, any interest or
any other sum due  hereunder is not paid when due and payable,  the whole of the
unpaid principal amount evidenced hereby and all unpaid accrued interest thereon
shall  from the date when such  payment  was due and  payable  until the date of
payment in full  thereof,  bear  interest  at the higher of the rate of interest
hereinbefore provided for or the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum, which
rate, if applicable,  shall commence,  without notice, immediately upon the date
when said payment was due and payable.

                  The Maker  promises to pay all costs and expenses  (including,
without  limitation,  attorneys' fees and disbursements)  incurred in connection
with the collection thereof.

                  Any payment on this Note  coming due on a Saturday,  a Sunday,

hereunder  shall be made on the next  succeeding  day which is a business day in
such place,  and any such  extension of the time of payment shall be included in
the computation of interest hereunder.

SUBJECT TO ARTICLE 3 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.
