hereafter liable for the payment of any sum or sums due or to become due under
the terms of this Note waive presentment, protest and demand, and notice of

date of advance to the date of repayment. MAKER hereof does not intend or expect
to pay, nor does LENDER intend or expect to charge, accept or collect any
interest which, when added to any other charge upon the principal, shall be in
excess of the highest lawful rate allowable under applicable law. Should
acceleration, prepayment or any other charges upon the principal or any portion
thereof result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the
highest lawful rate allowable under applicable law, then any

construction, effect and all other respects by the laws and decisions of the
State of New York.

         The undersigned hereby specifically authorizes any action brought upon
the enforcement of this Note by LENDER to be instituted and prosecuted in either
the Circuit Court of Broward County, Florida, or in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida, at the election of LENDER.

on the unpaid balance, and lastly to the payment of principal; however, in the
event of any default hereunder, LENDER may, in its sole discretion, and in such
order as it may choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful
charges and expenses then accrued. After maturity or default, this Note shall
bear interest at fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

         This Note is binding upon MAKER and its successors and assigns.

         MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT
