publicly by Standard Chartered Bank in New York, New York, USA, from time to
time as said bank's prime or base rate (the "Base Rate"). The Borrower
acknowledges that the Base Rate does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of

In the event of any default in connection with any payment under the
aforementioned payment schedule, all remaining unpaid amounts shall immediately
become due and payable on demand.

Agreement"). The Term Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions
for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated
events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the
maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.
This Note amends and restates the Promissory Notes executed by Borrower dated
April 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000. This note is secured by a Security Interest
granted by Borrower to Lender covering all of Lender's assets, and reflected by
a UCC 1 which has been filed with the state of New Jersey and county of
Middlesex.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein
(without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law).
The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit
or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities
hereunder or arising out of or in connection with this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in

Court for the Southern District of New York or in the courts of the State of New
York, as the holder hereof may elect.
