15. LIBOR: Each reference in this Note to LIBOR shall mean, as applicable to any
LIBOR Advance, the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest
1/32 of one percent) as determined on the basis of the offered rates for
deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Advance
which appears on the Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on the day
that is two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such LIBOR
Advance; provided, however, if the rate described above does not appear on the
Telerate System on any applicable interest determination date, the LIBOR rate
shall be the rate (rounded upwards as described above, if necessary) for
deposits in dollars for a period substantially equal to the interest period on
the Reuters Page "LIBO" (or such other page as may replace the LIBO Page on that
service for the purpose of displaying such rates), as of 11:00 a.m. (London
Time), on the day that is two (2) London Business Days prior to the beginning of
such interest period. "Banking Day" shall mean in respect to any city any date
on which commercial banks are open for business in that city. If both the
Telerate and Reuters system are unavailable, then the rate for that date will be

period of time comparable to such LIBOR Advance which are offered by four major
banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, on
the day that is two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such
LIBOR advance as selected by the Calculation Agent. The principal London office
of each of the four major London banks will be requested to provide a quotation
of its U.S. dollar deposit offered rate. If at least two such quotations are
provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.
If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date
will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted for loans in U.S. dollars to
leading European banks for a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Advance
offered by major banks in New York City at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York
City time, on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first
day of such LIBOR Advance. In the event that the Bank is unable to obtain any
such quotation as provided above, it will be deemed that LIBOR pursuant to a
LIBOR Advance cannot be determined. In the event that the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System shall impose a Reserve Percentage with respect to
LIBOR deposits of the Bank, then for any period during which such Reserve
Percentage shall apply LIBOR shall be equal to the amount determined above
divided by an amount equal to one minus the Reserve Percentage. The "Interest
Period" referred to herein shall mean that the period selected by the Borrower,
within the limitations contained in this Note, during which a LIBOR Advance may
bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the margin referred to herein.
Prepayment of LIBOR Loans: The Borrower hereby indemnifies [ILLEGIBLE]e Bank
from and against any and all losses or expenses which the Bank may sustain or
incur as a consequence of the following: (a) the receipt or recovery by the
Bank, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all or any part of a LIBOR
advance prior to the last day of an interest period applicable thereto; or; (b)
the conversion, prior to the last day of an applicable Interest Period into a
Prime Rate loan; or (c) the failure of the Borrower to borrow any LIBOR advance
after agreement shall have been reached with respect to the amount, interest
rate thereon and the Interest Period therefor. Without limiting the effect of
the foregoing, the amount to be paid by the Borrower to the Bank in order to so
indemnify the Bank for any loss occasioned by any of the events described
herein, and as liquidated damages therefor, shall be equal to the excess,
discounted to its present value as of the date paid to the Bank, of (i) the
amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so
received, recovered, converted or not borrowed during the period (the "Indemnity
Period") commencing with the date of such receipt, recovery, conversion or
failure to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period for
such LIBOR advance at the rate of interest applicable to such Advance (or the
rate of interest agreed to in the case of a failure to borrow) provided for
herein (prior to default) over (ii) the amount of interest which would be earned
by the Bank during the Indemnify Period if it invested the principal amount so
received, recovered, converted or not borrowed at a rate per annum determined by
the Bank as the rate it would bid in the London interbank market for a deposit
of eurodollars in an amount approximately equal to such principal amount for a
period of time comparable to the Indemnity Period. For the purposes of this
Section, [ILLEGIBLE] determination by the Bank of such losses and reasonable
expenses shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith. A certificate
as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this section setting for the
basis and method of determining such amounts shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, as to the determination by the Bank set forth therein if made
reasonably and in good faith. The Borrower shall pay any and all amounts so
certified to it by the Bank within ten (10) days of receipt of any such
certificate. The indemnities set forth herein shall survive payment in full of
all LIBOR loans and all other loans made pursuant to this Note.
Increased Costs: If the Bank determines that the effect of any applicable law or
government regulation, guideline or order or the interpretation thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the administration thereof (such as, for
example, a change in official reserve requirements which the Bank is required to
maintain in respect of loans or deposits or other funds procured for funding
such loans) is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or continuing LIBOR
advances hereunder or to reduce the amount of any payment of principal or
interest receivable by the Bank thereon, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank
on demand such additional amounts as the Bank may determine in its sole and
absolute discretion, to be required to compensate the Bank for such additional
costs or reduction. Any additional payment under this section will be computed
from the effective date at which such additional costs have to be borne by the
Bank. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
section setting forth the basis and method of determining such amounts shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the determination by the Bank set forth
therein if made [ILLEGIBLE]ablv and in good faith. The Borrower shall pay any
and all amounts so certified to it by the Bank within ten (10) days of receipt
of such certificate.
Alternate Rate of Interest: In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day
two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
LIBOR advance, the Bank shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the
amount of the requested principal amount of such LIBOR advance are not generally
available in the London interbank market, (ii) that the rate at which such
dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Bank of making or maintaining such LIBOR advance during such
Interest Period, or (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the LIBOR Rate, the Bank shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written
notice or telex notice of such determination to the Borrower. In the event of
any such determination, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer exist, no LIBOR advances will be made hereunder. Each determination by
the Bank hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Change in Legality: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if any change in any law or regulation or with the administration or
interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain
any LIBOR advance, then, by written notice to the Borrower, the Bank may: (i)
declare that LIBOR advances will not thereafter be made by the Bank hereunder,
whereupon the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR advances from
the Bank hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and (ii)
require that all outstanding LIBOR advances made by it be converted to Prime
Rate loans, in which event (x) all such LIBOR advances shall be automatically
converted into Prime Rate loans as of the effective date of such notice as
provided for herein and (y) all payments and prepayments of principal which
would otherwise be applied to repay the converted LIBOR advances shall instead
be applied to repay the Prime Rate loans resulting from the conversion of such
LIBOR advances. For purposes of this section, a notice to the Borrower by the
Bank shall be effective on the day of receipt by the Borrower.
16. PRIME RATE: Each reference in this Note to the "Prime Rate" shall mean the
prime rate of interest designated from time to time by the Bank as being its
"prime rate" of interest, such interest rate to change on the effective date of
each change in the Prime Rate.
