Notes then outstanding in accordance with the monthly trial balance report

EXHIBIT A
VARIABLE-RATE SECURED TERM NOTE
$20,000,000.00 June 28, 1995
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to MARINE MIDLAND
BANK (the "Bank"), or its order, on June 28, 2000, at its office at One Marine
Midland Center, Buffalo, New York, the principal sum of Twenty Million Dollars
($20,000,000.00) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Variable-Rate
Loans made by the Bank to the undersigned from time to time pursuant to a Loan
Agreement between the undersigned and the Bank dated the date of this Note
("Loan Agreement"), whichever is less, together with interest on the balance of
the principal of this Note from time to time unpaid at an annual rate ("Rate")
equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1 1/2%). "Prime
Rate" means the rate of interest publicly announced by the Bank from time to
time as its prime rate and is a base for calculating interest on certain loans.
All Loans may be inscribed by the Bank on the attached schedule or
any continuations of the schedule (the "Schedule"). Each entry on the Schedule
shall be prima facie evidence of the facts set forth. No failure by the Bank to
make, and no error by the Bank in making, any entry on the Schedule shall affect
the undersigned's obligation to repay the full principal amount advanced by the
Bank to or for the account of the undersigned or the undersigned's obligation to
pay interest.
After maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), all loans
shall continue to bear interest at the Rate. In no event shall the Rate exceed
the maximum rate allowed by law. The Rate shall change simultaneously with each
change in the Prime Rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of 1/360th
of the Rate in effect for each calendar day the balance of principal is unpaid.
Accrued interest shall be payable monthly on the tenth day of each month,
beginning July 10, 1995, and when the principal of this Note is paid in full.
No failure by the holder of this Note to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right or remedy under this Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the holder of any right or remedy
under this Note shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the holder are
cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies the holder may
otherwise have.
Reference is made to the Loan Agreement for provisions as to
prepayment, collateral and acceleration. The undersigned
31
-2-
expressly waives any requirements of presentment, protest or notice of dishonor.
This Note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. The undersigned shall pay
all costs and expenses incurred by the holder in enforcing this Note,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
This Note modifies and extends, but does not replace, the Secured Term
Note of the Company dated as of September 21, 1990, in the original principal
amount of $10,000,000.00; the Secured Term Note of the Company dated as of
October 25, 1993, in the original principal amount of $8,000,000.00; and the
Secured Term Note of the Company dated as of January 10, 1995, in the original
principal amount of $6,000,000.00.
