Maker agrees that, on the Maturity Date, Maker will pay to Payee the entire

unpaid interest hereunder.
C. Default; Remedies. Any one of the following occurrences shall constitute an
-----------------
"EVENT OF DEFAULT" under this Note: (i) failure by the Maker to make any payment
of principal or interest when the same becomes due and payable, said failure
continuing for thirty (30) days or more; or (ii) if Maker shall fail to pay its

they become due, or shall seek a composition, readjustment, arrangement,
liquidation, dissolution or insolvency proceeding under any present or future
statute or law, or shall file a petition under any chapter of federal Bankruptcy
Code or any similar law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing, or shall
become "insolvent" as that term is generally defined under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, or shall in any involuntary bankruptcy case commenced against
it file an answer admitting insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they
become due, or shall fail to obtain a dismissal of such case within sixty (60)
days after its commencement or convert the case from one chapter of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code to another chapter, or be the subject of an order for relief in
such bankruptcy case, or to be adjudged a bankruptcy or insolvent, or shall have
a custodian, trustee or receiver appointed for, or have any court take
jurisdiction of its property, or any part thereof, in any proceeding for the
purpose of reorganization, arrangement, dissolution or liquidation, and such
custodian, trustee, liquidator or receiver shall not be discharged, or such
jurisdiction shall not be relinquished, vacated or stayed within sixty (60) days
of the appointment.
Upon occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the entire outstanding
principal balance and any unpaid interest then accrued under this Note, shall at
the option of the Payee hereof and without demand or notice of any kind to the
undersigned or any other person (including, but not limited to, any guarantor
now or hereafter existing), immediately become and be due and payable in full.
In such event, Payee shall have and may exercise any and all rights and remedies
available at law or in equity.
D. Assignment. No assignment of this Note in whole or in part, or of any
----------
interest hereunder, shall be effective or binding upon the Maker until such
transfer or assignment shall have been duly recorded on the books of the Maker
to be maintained for such purpose, and any transfer or assignment hereof shall
require surrender hereof to the Maker at its principal office accompanied by an
appropriate instrument of transfer or assignment in form satisfactory to the
Maker, provided that the Maker may not and cannot be compelled or required to
act or effectuate any such assignment or transfer except after compliance by the
Payee or holder hereof with securities laws or regulations deemed applicable by
the Maker. Neither may this Note or any interest hereunder be pledged or
hypothecated except upon compliance with the foregoing.
E. Waiver Amendment. Maker, for itself and for its successors,
----------------
transferees and assigns hereby irrevocably (i) waives diligence, presentment and
demand for payment, protest, notice, notice of protest and nonpayment, dishonor
and notice of dishonor and all other demands or notices of any and every kind
whatsoever, and (ii) agrees that this Note and any or all payments coming due
hereunder may be extended from time to time in the sole discretion of Payee
hereof without in any way affecting or diminishing Maker's liability hereunder.
No extension of the time for any payment due hereunder made by agreement with
any person now or hereafter liable for payment of this Note shall operate to
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this
Note, either in whole or in part. No delay in the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder by Xxxxx shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right or
remedy, nor shall the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by Xxxxx be
deemed an election of remedies or a waiver of any other right or remedy. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of the Payee promptly
after the occurrence of any default hereunder to exercise its right to declare
the indebtedness remaining unmatured hereunder to be immediately due and payable
shall not constitute a waiver of such right while such default continues nor a
waiver of such right in connection with any future default.
F. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Note has been executed and
---------------------------------
delivered at Englewood, Colorado and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, XxxxxxXxxxxxx.xxx Corp. has caused this Note to be
