     2.     INTEREST.  Each  Advance  outstanding  under  this  Note  shall bear
interest  from  the  date  of such Advance until such date that such Advance has
been  entirely  repaid  or  converted,  at  a simple rate per annum equal to the
lesser  of  (a)  the  London  Inter-Bank  Offered  Rate,  adjusted  for  reserve
requirements,  for  three  month  U.S.  Dollar  deposits,  as  quoted by Bank of
America, N.A., plus two and three quarters percent (275 basis points) or (b) the
maximum  rate permitted by applicable law. Interest shall not be due and payable
until  the  Termination  Date.
