All

have
the same meanings herein as in the Loan Agreement. This Note evidences
borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrowers in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Agreement. The Lender and any holder hereof is entitled to

or

payment of principal of this Note, an appropriate notation on the grid attached
to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record,
including computer records, reflecting the making of such Real Property Advances

of
the Real Property Advances set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or
the
continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer
records, maintained by the Lender with respect to any Real Property Advances
shall be prima facie
evidence
of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure
to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid,
continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Lender hereunder or under the Loan Agreement to make payments of
principal of and interest on this Note when due.

one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid principal
amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may become
or
be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Loan Agreement.
No
delay
or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights
of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any
one
occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further
occasion.
The
Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation
represented hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or
