PAYMENT AND INTEREST ACCRUAL. Payment of the principal of and interest
on this Term Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States at the
principal office of The Xxxxxxx Group, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the Issuer may designate to the
Holder in writing ("Place of Payment"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such payment
may be made, at the option of the Issuer, by check mailed to the registered
address of the Holder. Upon payment or tender of payment hereof at Maturity or
earlier redemption (in whole), this Term Note shall be surrendered to the Issuer
for cancellation at the Place of Payment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by
the Issuer, interest hereon shall cease to accrue, and the Issuer shall have no
further liability with respect thereto, upon payment (or tender of payment in
the aforesaid manner) of the outstanding principal amount hereof plus all
accrued but unpaid interest at Maturity or earlier redemption.
INTEREST RATE AND INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT. The interest rate payable
on the principal amount of this Term Note shall be the initial rate set forth on
the front of this Term Note unless it is adjusted by the Issuer. The Issuer may
adjust the interest rate payable on this series of Securities. Any such
adjustment shall be pursuant to the preceding sentence on the last Business Day
of a month and shall be effective on the first day of the second month following
such adjustment for Securities of this series issued or extended on or after the
first day of such month. Any adjustment of the interest rate shall remain in
effect unless and until a further adjustment is made by the Issuer.
POSSIBLE AUTOMATIC RENEWALS. No later than 30 days prior to Maturity,
the Company will give the Holder of this Term Note notice by first-class mail of
the Maturity. This Term Note (with any interest payable at Maturity being added
to the principal amount hereof) will be automatically renewed for successive
terms, equal in duration to the original term hereof, at the rate of interest
then in effect for Term Notes of this series unless, prior to Maturity, the
Issuer receives notification of the Holder's intent to redeem the Term Note or
receive the interest payment due at Maturity. Except for a possible change in
the interest rate as described above, all of the terms and conditions applicable
to the Term Note when issued will also apply during each period of renewal. Upon
any renewal hereof, unless this Term Note is surrendered and cancelled and a new
Term Note is issued in its stead, the principal amount of this Term Note shall
be deemed amended to include any accrued but unpaid interest that is added to
the principal amount and the date of Maturity shall be deemed amended to be the
date of Maturity of the period of renewal.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY ISSUER. This Term Note is subject to redemption
upon not less than 30 days' notice by first class mail, at any time, as a whole
or in part, at the election of the Issuer, without premium, together with
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption in such notice, but any
interest installment, which is due and payable on or prior to such date, will be
payable to the Holder at the close of business on the relevant interest payment
date. Each partial redemption payment shall be made as provided in the Indenture
on the Outstanding Securities of this series of the Securities called for
redemption.
REDEMPTION PRIOR TO MATURITY BY HOLDER. The Holder shall have the right
at its option to redeem this Term Note in whole or in part on any Business Day
prior to Maturity. Upon such redemption, the Holder shall forfeit an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of interest actually accrued on this
Term Note since the date of issuance (or, in the case of a renewal or extension
of this Term Note from the date of the most recent renewal) and the amount of
interest that would have accrued on this Term Note had the rate of interest been
3% less than the rate of interest actually accrued. When necessary to comply
with the requirements of this paragraph, any interest already paid to or for the
account of the Holder shall be deducted from the amount redeemed. Holders shall
also have the right to make partial redemptions prior to Maturity; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, in the case of a partial redemption, a minimum outstanding
principal amount of $1,000 is maintained. The above-mentioned forfeitures shall
be calculated only upon the amount so redeemed. This Term Note may be redeemed
before Maturity without forfeiture of any interest upon the death of the Holder
of this Term Note or when the Holder of this Term Note is determined to be
legally incompetent by a court or other administrative body of competent
jurisdiction.

PARTIAL REDEMPTIONS REQUIRING SURRENDER OF THIS NOTE; INTEREST RATE
REDUCTION. If this Term Note is redeemed in part and such redemption results in
a principal balance (the "New Principal Amount") that would accrue a lower
annual interest rate than would have accrued if this Term Note had been
originally issued at the New Principal Amount as one of this series of the
Securities, this Term Note shall be surrendered to the Issuer and cancelled and
a new Term Note constituting one of this series of the Securities shall be
issued to the Holder in a denomination equal to the New Principal Amount. Such
new Term Note shall be issued on the terms, including the rate of interest, then
applicable to a Term Note of this series of the Securities having a denomination
equal to the New Principal Amount.
ASSIGNMENT. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, this Term Note shall not be transferable to any
person except by endorsement and delivery by the Holder, or his duly authorized
representative at any Place of Payment referred to above and, upon surrender to
the Issuer with proper endorsement, a new instrument of like tenor shall be
issued in the name of the transferee. No service charge shall be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. Unless and until transferred in the manner aforesaid, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of either of them, may treat the Holder whose
name or names appear on the face of this instrument as the absolute owner hereof
for all purposes and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary. If this Term Note is payable to two or
more persons, they shall be deemed to be joint tenants with right of
survivorship and any and all payments herein shall be made to either, or the
survivor of them.
SUBORDINATION. THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THIS TERM NOTE IS, TO THE
EXTENT AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, SUBORDINATE AND SUBJECT IN
RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO THE PRIOR PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS (AS
DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE) OF THE ISSUER, WHETHER OUTSTANDING AT THE DATE OF THE
INDENTURE OR THEREAFTER INCURRED. EACH HOLDER OF THIS TERM NOTE, BY HIS
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO AND SHALL BE BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THE
INDENTURE RELATING TO SUCH SUBORDINATION.
EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture,
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
WHEN PAYMENT DATE IS NOT A BUSINESS DAY. In any case where any interest
payment date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity Date (as set forth above)
of this Term Note shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Term Note) payment of principal and
interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on the interest payment date or redemption date, or at the
Stated Maturity Date (as set forth above), provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date, redemption date
or Stated Maturity Date, as the case may be.
ISSUABLE IN REGISTERED FORM ONLY. This Term Note is one of a series of
Securities issuable only in registered form without coupons.
DEFINED TERMS. All capitalized terms in this Term Note which are
defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
