such event the holders of Secured Obligations shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all amounts due on or to become due on or in respect of

account of principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note, and to that
end the holders of Secured Obligations shall be entitled to receive, for
application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of assets

giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
holders of Secured Obligations.

its terms or provisions may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as
the Payee may consent in a writing duly signed for and on its behalf.

rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are
