Eurodollar Advance by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time three (3) Business Days before the
end of the Interest Period for that Advance, the Advance shall automatically be
converted to a Prime Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period for the
Advance.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Note, the maximum principal amount
available under this Note shall be for to the following amount(s) on and after
the following date(s): Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) from the
effective date of this Note until August 31, 2005; increasing to Fifteen Million
and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) on September 1, 2005; and decreasing to Ten
Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) on February 1, 2006 (each a
"Principal Reduction Date"). The Borrower shall, on or before the effective date
of this Note and on or before February 1, 2006, make such principal payments as
are needed to reduce the outstanding principal balance under this Note.
The Borrower shall select interest rates and Interest Periods such that on each
Principal Reduction Date the sum of the principal amount of the Prime Rate
Advance outstanding on that date plus the aggregate principal amount of the
Eurodollar Advances with Interest Periods ending on that date is greater than or
equal to any principal payment that may be due on that date. Any election that
does not comply with this requirement will be invalid unless the Bank elects, in
its sole discretion, to honor such election. Although the Bank may choose to
honor any such election, the Borrower shall continue to be subject to the terms
of the paragraph of this Note captioned "Funding Loss Indemnification" in regard
to payment of a Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for the Advance.
2
INTEREST PAYMENTS. Interest on the Advances shall be paid as follows:
A. For each Prime Rate Advance, on the last day of each month beginning with the
first month following disbursement of the Advance or following conversion of an
Advance into a Prime Rate Advance, and at the maturity or conversion of the
Advance into a Eurodollar Advance;
B. For each Eurodollar Advance, on the last day of the Interest Period for the
Advance and, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month
intervals beginning with the day three months from the date the Advance is
disbursed.
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. All outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in
full on May 31, 2006, which is defined herein as the "Principal Payment Date".
DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST. After a default has occurred under this Note, whether
or not the Bank elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note because of such
default, all Advances outstanding under this Note, including all Eurodollar
Advances, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, plus
the Applicable Margin for a Prime Rate Advance, plus three percent (3.00%) from
the date the Bank elects to impose such rate. Imposition of this rate shall not
affect any limitations contained in this Note on the Borrower's right to repay
principal on any Eurodollar Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period
for that Advance.
PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may prepay all or any part of any Prime Rate Advance at
any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower may prepay any Eurodollar
Advance only at the end of an Interest Period.
FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION. Upon the Bank's request, the Borrower shall pay
the Bank amounts sufficient (in the Bank's reasonable opinion) to compensate it
for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:
A. Any payment of a Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for the Advance, including, without limitation, acceleration of
the Advances by the Bank pursuant to this Note or the Related Documents; or
B. Any failure by the Borrower to borrow or renew a Eurodollar Advance on the
date specified in the relevant notice from the Borrower to the Bank.
ADDITIONAL COSTS. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, government
rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the
Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental
authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by
the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether
or not having the force of law), shall (a) affect the basis of taxation of
payments to the Bank of any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Note or
the Related Documents (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the
Bank by the jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of
the jurisdiction in which the Bank has its principal office), or (b) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by
the Bank, or (c) impose any other condition with respect to this Note or the
Related Documents and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to the Bank of maintaining any Eurodollar Advance or to reduce the amount of any
sum receivable by the Bank on such an Advance, or (d) affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank (or any corporation
controlling the Bank) and the Bank determines that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of the Bank's obligations under this
Note or the Related Documents and the increase has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the Bank's (or its controlling corporation's) capital as a
consequence of the obligations under this Note or the Related Documents to a
level below that which the Bank (or its controlling corporation) could have
achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material,
then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, from time to time, upon request by the
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for the increased
cost or reduced sum receivable. Whenever the Bank shall learn of circumstances
described in this section which are likely to result in additional costs to the
Borrower, the Bank shall give prompt written notice to the Borrower of the basis
for and the estimated amount of any such anticipated additional costs. A
statement as to the amount of the increased cost or reduced sum receivable,
prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by the
Bank to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error in computation.
ILLEGALITY. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or
regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or
the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged
with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any
guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the
force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain or
fund the Eurodollar Advances, then, upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the
outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Advances, together with accrued
interest and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Note or the
Related Documents on account of the Eurodollar Advances shall be repaid (a)
immediately upon the Bank's demand if such change or compliance with such
requests, in the Bank's judgment, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at the
3
expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of
any such change or request provided, however, that subject to the terms and
conditions of this Note and the Related Documents the Borrower shall be entitled
to simultaneously replace the entire outstanding balance of any Eurodollar
Advance repaid in accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the
same amount.
INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE. If the Bank determines that (a) quotations
of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
Eurodollar Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the
relevant maturities for purposes of determining the interest rate on a
Eurodollar Advance as provided in this Note, or (b) the relevant interest rates
referred to in the definition of Eurodollar Rate do not accurately cover the
cost to the Bank of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Bank
shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower, whereupon (i)
the obligation of the Bank to make Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended until
the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the
suspension no longer exists, and (ii) the Borrower shall repay in full the then
outstanding principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance, together with accrued
interest, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the
Advance, provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Note and the Related Documents, the Borrower shall be entitled to simultaneously
replace the entire outstanding balance of any Eurodollar Advance repaid in
accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the same amount.
OBLIGATIONS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAY. Whenever any payment under this Note
becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, if no default then
exists under this Note, the maturity of the payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, except, in the case of a Eurodollar Advance, if
the result of the extension would be to extend the payment into another calendar
month, the payment must be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
MATTERS REGARDING PAYMENT. The Borrower will pay the Bank at the Bank's address
shown above or at such other place as the Bank may designate. Payments shall be
allocated first to interest, then to fees, then to principal unless otherwise
agreed or required by applicable law. Acceptance by the Bank of any payment
which is less than the payment due at the time shall not constitute a waiver of
the Bank's right to receive payment in full at that time or any other time.
AUTHORIZATION FOR DIRECT PAYMENTS (ACH DEBITS). To effectuate any payment due
under this Note, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate debit
entries to Account Number 300000105104 at the Bank and to debit the same to such
account. This authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full force
and effect until the Bank has received written notification of its termination
in such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity
to act on it. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner
of all funds in such account. The Borrower acknowledges (1) that such debit
entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result in the Bank's
refusal to honor items drawn on such account until adequate deposits are made to
such account; (2) that the Bank is under no duty or obligation to initiate any
debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not made because the
above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available balance, or
otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.
LATE FEE. If any payment is not received by the Bank within ten (10) days after
its due date, the Bank may assess and the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee
equal to the greater of: (a) five percent (5.00%) of the past due amount or (b)
Twenty Five and 00/100 Dollars ($25.00), up to the maximum amount of One
Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge.
BUSINESS LOAN. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note evidences a
loan for a business, commercial, agricultural or similar commercial enterprise
purpose, and that all advances made under this Note shall not be used for any
personal, family or household purpose.
CREDIT FACILITY. The Bank has approved a credit facility to the Borrower in a
principal amount not to exceed the face amount of this Note. The credit facility
is in the form of advances made from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower.
This Note evidences the Borrower's obligation to repay those advances. The
aggregate principal amount of debt evidenced by this Note is the amount
reflected from time to time in the records of the Bank. Until the earliest of
maturity, the occurrence of any default, or the occurrence of any event that
would constitute a default but for the giving of notice or the lapse of time or
both until the end of any grace or cure period, the Borrower may borrow, pay
down and reborrow under this Note subject to the terms of the Related Documents.
BANK'S RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to the Collateral, if any, the Borrower
grants to the Bank a security interest in, and the Bank is authorized after
event of default to setoff and apply, all Accounts, Securities and Other
Property, and Bank Debt against any and all Liabilities of the Borrower. This
right of setoff may be exercised at any time after event of default and from
time to time, and without prior notice to the Borrower. This security interest
and right of setoff may be enforced or exercised by the Bank regardless of
whether or not the Bank has made any demand under this paragraph or whether the
Liabilities are contingent, matured, or unmatured. Any delay, neglect or conduct
by the Bank in exercising its rights under this paragraph will not be a waiver
of the right to exercise this right of setoff or enforce this security interest.
The rights of the Bank under this paragraph are in addition to other rights the
Bank may have in the Related Documents or by law. In this paragraph: (a) the
term "Accounts" means any and all accounts and deposits of the Borrower (whether
general, special, time, demand, provisional or final) at any time held by the
Bank (including all Accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any XXX or
4
Xxxxx Account, or any trust Account in which a security interest would be
prohibited by law); (b) the term "Securities and Other Property" means any and
all securities and other property of the Borrower in the custody, possession or
control of the Bank (other than property held by the Bank in a fiduciary
capacity); and (c) the term "Bank Debt" means all indebtedness at any time owing
by the Bank, to or for the credit or account of the Borrower.
REPRESENTATIONS BY BORROWER. Each Borrower represents that: (a) the execution
and delivery of this Note and the performance of the obligations it imposes do
not violate any law, conflict with any agreement by which it is bound, or
require the consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third
party; (b) this Note is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable according to
its terms; and (c) all balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and other
financial statements furnished to the Bank in connection with the Liabilities
are accurate and fairly reflect the financial condition of the organizations and

liabilities of every type, which financial condition has not changed materially
and adversely since those dates. Each Borrower, other than a natural person,
further represents that: (a) it is duly organized, existing and in good standing
pursuant to the laws under which it is organized; and (b) the execution and
delivery of this Note and the performance of the obligations it imposes (i) are

and unpaid principal amount of each Prime Rate Advance at the Prime Rate plus
the Applicable Margin and each Eurodollar Advance at the Eurodollar Rate.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
in a year of 360 days. In no event shall the interest rate applicable to any
Advance exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Any interest payment which would
for any reason be deemed unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to
principal.
BANK RECORDS. The Bank shall, in the ordinary course of business, make notations
in its records of the date, amount, interest rate and Interest Period of each
Advance hereunder, the amount of each payment on the Advances, and other
information. Such records shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
as to the outstanding principal balance of and interest rate or rates applicable
to this Note.
NOTICE AND MANNER OF ELECTING INTEREST RATES ON ADVANCES. The Borrower shall
give the Bank written notice (effective upon receipt) of the Borrower's intent
to draw down an Advance under this Note no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time,
one (1) Business Day before disbursement, if the full amount of the drawn
Advance is to be disbursed as a Prime Rate Advance and three (3) Business Days
before disbursement, if any part of such Advance is to be disbursed as a
Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower's notice must specify: (a) the disbursement
date, (b) the amount of each Advance, (c) the type of each Advance (Prime Rate
Advance or Eurodollar Advance), and (d) for each Eurodollar Advance, the

may not elect an Interest Period ending after the maturity date of this Note.
Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00). All notices under this paragraph are
irrevocable. By the Bank's close of business on the disbursement date and upon
fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein and in any other of the Related
Documents, the Bank shall disburse the requested Advances in immediately
available funds by crediting the amount of such Advances to the Borrower's
account with the Bank.
CONVERSION AND RENEWALS. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert one
type of Advance into another or to renew any Advance by giving the Bank written
notice no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, one (1) Business Day before
conversion into a Prime Rate Advance and three (3) Business Days before
conversion into or renewal of a Eurodollar Advance, specifying: (a) the renewal
or conversion date, (b) the amount of the Advance to be converted or renewed,
(c) in the case of conversion, the type of Advance to be converted into (Prime

give the Bank the notice specified above for the renewal or conversion of a
Eurodollar Advance by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time three (3) Business Days before the
end of the Interest Period for that Advance, the Advance shall automatically be
converted to a Prime Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period for the
Advance.
INTEREST PAYMENTS. Interest on the Advances shall be paid as follows:
A. For each Prime Rate Advance, on the last day of each month beginning with the
first month following disbursement of the Advance or following conversion of an
Advance into a Prime Rate Advance, and at the maturity or conversion of the
Advance into a Eurodollar Advance;
B. For each Eurodollar Advance, on the last day of the Interest Period for the
Advance and, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month
intervals beginning with the day three months from the date the Advance is
disbursed.
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Commencing February 28, 2006, and continuing on the last day
of each calendar month thereafter until the maturity date of this Note (each, a
"Principal Payment Date"), the Borrower shall pay the Bank One Hundred
Thirty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Nine and 00/100 Dollars
($138,889.00); and
On January 31, 2010, the Borrower shall pay the Bank the entire outstanding
principal balance of this Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, and any
other unpaid amounts due under this Note.
2
The Borrower shall select interest rates and Interest Periods such that on each
Principal Payment Date the sum of the principal amount of the Prime Rate Advance
outstanding on that date plus the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar
Advances with Interest Periods ending on that date is greater than or equal to
the principal payment due on that date. Any election that does not comply with
this requirement will be invalid unless the Bank elects, in its sole discretion,
to honor such election. Although the Bank may choose to honor any such election,
the Borrower shall continue to be subject to the terms of the paragraph of this
Note captioned "Funding Loss Indemnification" in regard to payment of a
Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for
the Advance.
DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST. After a default has occurred under this Note, whether
or not the Bank elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note because of such
default, all Advances outstanding under this Note, including all Eurodollar
Advances, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, plus
the Applicable Margin for a Prime Rate Advance, plus three percent (3.00%) from
the date the Bank elects to impose such rate. Imposition of this rate shall not
affect any limitations contained in this Note on the Borrower's right to repay
principal on any Eurodollar Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period
for that Advance.
PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may prepay all or any part of any Prime Rate Advance at
any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower may prepay any Eurodollar
Advance only at the end of an Interest Period.
FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION. Upon the Bank's request, the Borrower shall pay
the Bank amounts sufficient (in the Bank's reasonable opinion) to compensate it
for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:
A. Any payment of a Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for the Advance, including, without limitation, acceleration of
the Advances by the Bank pursuant to this Note or the Related Documents; or
B. Any failure by the Borrower to borrow or renew a Eurodollar Advance on the
date specified in the relevant notice from the Borrower to the Bank.
ADDITIONAL COSTS. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, government
rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the
Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental
authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by
the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether
or not having the force of law), shall (a) affect the basis of taxation of
payments to the Bank of any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Note or
the Related Documents (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the
Bank by the jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of
the jurisdiction in which the Bank has its principal office), or (b) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by
the Bank, or (c) impose any other condition with respect to this Note or the
Related Documents and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to the Bank of maintaining any Eurodollar Advance or to reduce the amount of any
sum receivable by the Bank on such an Advance, or (d) affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank (or any corporation
controlling the Bank) and the Bank determines that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of the Bank's obligations under this
Note or the Related Documents and the increase has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the Bank's (or its controlling corporation's) capital as a
consequence of the obligations under this Note or the Related Documents to a
level below that which the Bank (or its controlling corporation) could have
achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material,
then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, from time to time, upon request by the
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for the increased
cost or reduced sum receivable. Whenever the Bank shall learn of circumstances
described in this section which are likely to result in additional costs to the
Borrower, the Bank shall give prompt written notice to the Borrower of the basis
for and the estimated amount of any such anticipated additional costs. A
statement as to the amount of the increased cost or reduced sum receivable,
prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by the
Bank to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error in computation.
ILLEGALITY. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or
regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or
the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged
with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any
guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the
force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain or
fund the Eurodollar Advances, then, upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the
outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Advances, together with accrued
interest and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Note or the
Related Documents on account of the Eurodollar Advances shall be repaid (a)
immediately upon the Bank's demand if such change or compliance with such
requests, in the Bank's judgment, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at the
expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of
any such change or request provided, however, that subject to the terms and
conditions of this Note and the Related Documents the Borrower shall be entitled
to simultaneously replace the entire outstanding balance of any Eurodollar
Advance repaid in accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the
same amount.
3
INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE. If the Bank determines that (a) quotations
of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
Eurodollar Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the
relevant maturities for purposes of determining the interest rate on a
Eurodollar Advance as provided in this Note, or (b) the relevant interest rates
referred to in the definition of Eurodollar Rate do not accurately cover the
cost to the Bank of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Bank
shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower, whereupon (i)
the obligation of the Bank to make Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended until
the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the
suspension no longer exists, and (ii) the Borrower shall repay in full the then
outstanding principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance, together with accrued
interest, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the
Advance, provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Note and the Related Documents, the Borrower shall be entitled to simultaneously
replace the entire outstanding balance of any Eurodollar Advance repaid in
accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the same amount.
OBLIGATIONS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAY. Whenever any payment under this Note
becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, if no default then
exists under this Note, the maturity of the payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, except, in the case of a Eurodollar Advance, if
the result of the extension would be to extend the payment into another calendar
month, the payment must be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
MATTERS REGARDING PAYMENT. The Borrower will pay the Bank at the Bank's address
shown above or at such other place as the Bank may designate. Payments shall be
allocated first to interest, then to fees, then to principal unless otherwise
agreed or required by applicable law. Acceptance by the Bank of any payment
which is less than the payment due at the time shall not constitute a waiver of
the Bank's right to receive payment in full at that time or any other time.
AUTHORIZATION FOR DIRECT PAYMENTS (ACH DEBITS). To effectuate any payment due
under this Note, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate debit
entries to Account Number 300000105104 at the Bank and to debit the same to such
account. This authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full force
and effect until the Bank has received written notification of its termination
in such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity
to act on it. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner
of all funds in such account. The Borrower acknowledges (1) that such debit
entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result in the Bank's
refusal to honor items drawn on such account until adequate deposits are made to
such account; (2) that the Bank is under no duty or obligation to initiate any
debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not made because the
above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available balance, or
otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.
LATE FEE. If any payment is not received by the Bank within ten (10) days after
its due date, the Bank may assess and the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee
equal to the greater of: (a) five percent (5.00%) of the past due amount or (b)
Twenty Five and 00/100 Dollars ($25.00), up to the maximum amount of One
Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge.
BUSINESS LOAN. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note evidences a
loan for a business, commercial, agricultural or similar commercial enterprise
purpose, and that all advances made under this Note shall not be used for any
personal, family or household purpose.
BANK'S RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to the Collateral, if any, the Borrower
grants to the Bank a security interest in, and the Bank is authorized after
event of default to setoff and apply, all Accounts, Securities and Other
Property, and Bank Debt against any and all Liabilities of the Borrower. This
right of setoff may be exercised at any time after event of default and from
time to time, and without prior notice to the Borrower. This security interest
and right of setoff may be enforced or exercised by the Bank regardless of
whether or not the Bank has made any demand under this paragraph or whether the
Liabilities are contingent, matured, or unmatured. Any delay, neglect or conduct
by the Bank in exercising its rights under this paragraph will not be a waiver
of the right to exercise this right of setoff or enforce this security interest.
The rights of the Bank under this paragraph are in addition to other rights the
Bank may have in the Related Documents or by law. In this paragraph: (a) the
term "Accounts" means any and all accounts and deposits of the Borrower (whether
general, special, time, demand, provisional or final) at any time held by the
Bank (including all Accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any XXX or
Xxxxx Account, or any trust Account in which a security interest would be
prohibited by law); (b) the term "Securities and Other Property" means any and
all securities and other property of the Borrower in the custody, possession or
control of the Bank (other than property held by the Bank in a fiduciary
capacity); and (c) the term "Bank Debt" means all indebtedness at any time owing
by the Bank, to or for the credit or account of the Borrower.
REPRESENTATIONS BY BORROWER. Each Borrower represents that: (a) the execution
and delivery of this Note and the performance of the obligations it imposes do
not violate any law, conflict with any agreement by which it is bound, or
require the consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third
party; (b) this Note is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable according to
its terms; and (c) all balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and other
financial statements furnished to the Bank in connection with the Liabilities

and adversely since those dates. Each Borrower, other than a natural person,
further represents that: (a) it is duly organized, existing and in good standing
pursuant to the laws under which it is organized; and (b) the execution and
4
delivery of this Note and the performance of the obligations it imposes (i) are
within its powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action of its
