Limit of Validity The provisions of this Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or retention of money under this Note (“Interest”) exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Maker and Holder shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note (whether or not then due) or at the option of Holder be paid over to Maker, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal amount of this Note so that the Interest thereof for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
Determination of Validity All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including the time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tendered Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described above will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any particular Shares determined by it not to be in appropriate form or for which the acceptance of or payment may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. The Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularities in the tender of any particular Shares, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of any other Shares. The Purchaser's interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. No tender of Shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. None of the Purchaser, any of its affiliates or assigns, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. THE PURCHASER'S ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT OF SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER WILL CONSTITUTE A BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER AND THE PURCHASER UPON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS Except as otherwise provided in this Section, tenders of Shares made pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time at which the Offer expires on the Expiration Date and, unless previously accepted for payment as provided herein, may also be withdrawn at any time after January 14, 2002. If the Purchaser extends the Offer, is delayed in, or delays, its acceptance for payment or payment for Shares or is unable to accept for payment or pay for Shares for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's other rights under the Offer, tendered Shares may nevertheless be retained by the Depositary, on behalf of the Purchaser, and may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering stockholders are entitled to and duly exercise withdrawal rights as described in this Section. Any such extension or delay will be accompanied by an extension of the Offer to the extent required by law. In order for a withdrawal to be effective, a written, telegraphic or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Shares to be withdrawn, the number of Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the Shares to be withdrawn, if different from that of the person who tendered such Shares. If Share Certificates to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, prior to the physical release of such Share Certificates, the tendering stockholder must also submit the serial numbers shown on such Share Certificates to the Depositary, and the signatures on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, unless such Shares have been tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, as set forth in "--Procedures For Accepting The Offer And Tendering Shares," any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Shares and must otherwise comply with the procedures of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. Withdrawals may not be revoked and any Shares properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Shares may be re-tendered at any time prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described in "--Procedures For Accepting The Offer And Tendering Shares." All questions as to the form and validity (including the time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. None of the Purchaser, its affiliates or assigns, the Dealer Manager, the 30 Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) the Purchaser's rights to extend and amend the Offer at any time in its sole discretion, the Purchaser shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to the Purchaser's obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of or, subject to the restriction referred to above, the payment for, any tendered Shares, and may amend or terminate the Offer if (1) the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or (2) at any time on or after November 16, 2001 and before the time of acceptance of the Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer, any of the following events shall occur:
