If the Lender agrees in writing no later than January 31, 2000 that this note
can be extended, the loan extension time period will be determined by the
Borrower.
All payments on this Note shall be applied first in payment of accrued interest

promises to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney fees,
whether or not a lawsuit is commenced as part of the collection process.

simultaneously with the consummation thereof the survivor or successor
corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger shall assume by written
instrument delivered to the Lender all obligations present and due under the
terms of the Note.
No renewal or extension of this Note, delay in enforcing any right of the
Lender under this Note, or assignment by Lender of this Note shall affect the
liability of the Borrower. All rights of the Lender under this Note are
cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or consecutively at the Lender's
