is

wholly-owned by Sequa.

   

2.

In order to finance their respective businesses, the Originators (other than
Sequa

Can and ARC) have sold and all of the Originators wish to sell certain
Receivables and Related Rights from time to time to the Company, and the Company
is willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to
purchase such Receivables and Related Rights from such Originators.

   

3.

The Company intends to sell to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the

Purchasers) an. undivided variable percentage interest in its Receivables and
Related Rights pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement in order to
finance its purchases of certain Receivables and Related Rights hereunder.

   

4.

This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date (as

defined below), the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 13, 1998
(as amended,

supplemented or otherwise modified through the Closing Date, the "Original
PSA"), among the Seller, the Originators from time to time party thereto and the
Servicer. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Original PSA shall, subject to this
paragraph, be superseded hereby in their entirety. Notwithstanding the amendment
and restatement of the Original PSA by this Agreement, (i) the Seller and Sequa
shall continue to be liable to LSFC, BNS or any other Purchase and Sale
Indemnified Party (as such terms are defined in the Original PSA) with respect
to all unpaid Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts (as such term is defined in
the Receivables Purchase Agreement) which shall continue to accrue thereunder
until such amounts are paid in full) and all agreements to indemnify such
parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the
effective date of this Agreement and (ii) the security interest created under
the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as security for
such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts until such Original Agreement
Outstanding Amounts shall have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of this
Agreement, each reference to the Original PSA in any other document, instrument
or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained
herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend,
modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed
and or delivered in connection with the Original PSA.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

 

1.1.

Agreement to Purchase and Sell

. On the terms and subject to the conditions set

forth in this Agreement (including Article 4), and in consideration of the
Purchase Price, each Originator agrees to sell to the Company, and does hereby
sell to the Company (subject to the interest created in favor of Liberty Street
Funding Corp., as issuer under the terms of the Original Agreement (as defined
in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) until the Original Agreement Outstanding
Amounts (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) have been paid in
full), and the Company agrees to purchase from such Originator, and does hereby
purchase from such Originator, without recourse (except as otherwise provided
herein) and without regard to collectibility, all of such Originator's right,
title and interest in and to:

       

a.

each Receivable of such Originator (other than Sequa Can and ARC) that existed

 

and was owing to such Originator as of the close of such Originator's business
on November 13, 1998 (the "Initial Closing Date") (other than the Receivables
and Related Rights contributed by such Originator to the Company pursuant to
Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (the "Contributed Receivables"));

 

b.

each Receivable created or originated by such Originator from the close of such

 

Originator's business on the Initial Closing Date to and including the Purchase
and Sale Termination Date;

 

c.

in the case of Sequa Can and ARC, each Receivable of such Originator that
existed

 

and was owing to such Originator as of the close of its business on May 14, 2004
(the "Closing Date") (other than Receivables and Related Rights contributed by
such Originator to the Company pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3;

   

d.

in the case of Sequa Can and ARC, each Receivable created or originated by it
from

 

the close of its business on the Closing Date to and including the Purchase and
Sale Termination Date;

   

e.

all rights to, but not the obligations under, all Related Security;

   

f.

all monies due or to become due with respect to any of the foregoing;

     

g.

all books and records related to any of the foregoing;

     

h.

all proceeds thereof (as defined in the applicable UCC) received on or after the

 

Initial Closing Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, including, without
limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Company
or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed
(including, without limitation, finance charges, interest and all other charges)
in respect of Receivables, or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors
(including, without limitation, insurance payments, if any, that such Originator
or the Servicer (if other than Originator) applies in the ordinary course of its
business to amounts owed in respect of any Receivable); and

       

i.

all right, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to any deposit
accounts or

   

securities accounts (as such terms are defined in the applicable UCC) into which
any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be
deposited, and any related investment property (as such term is defined in the
applicable UCC).

   

All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but
shall be made pursuant to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties
and covenants of each Originator set forth in this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document. The Company's foregoing commitment to purchase such
Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in subsections (c) through (i)
of this Section 1.1 (collectively, the "Related Rights") is herein called the
"Purchase Facility."

 

 

 

 

1.2.

Timing of Purchases

.

 

a.

Initial Closing Date; Closing Date Purchases

. Each Originator's entire right, title  

and interest in (A) (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such
Originator as of the close of such Originator's business on the Initial Closing
Date or the Closing Date, as applicable (other than the Contributed
Receivables), and (ii) all Receivables hereafter existing or coming into
existence, and (B) all Related Rights with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have been sold by the related Originator to the Company on the Initial Closing
Date or the Closing Date, as applicable.

   

b.

Regular Purchases

. After the Closing Date, each Receivable created or originated  

by each Originator and described in Section 1.1(b) or Section 1.1(d) hereof and
all Related Rights shall be purchased and owned by the Company (without any
further action) upon the creation or origination of such Receivable.

   

1.3.

Consideration for Purchases

. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in

this Agreement, the Company agrees to make all Purchase Price payments to the
respective Originators, and to reflect all contributions, in accordance with
Article 3.

   

1.4.

Purchase and Sale Termination Date

. The "Purchase and Sale Termination Date"

shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following
the day on which Sequa shall have given notice to the Company that the
Originators desire to terminate this Agreement.

As used herein, "Payment Date" means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business
Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.

   

1.5.

Intention of the Parties

. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the transfers

of the Receivables and Related Rights by each Originator to the Company, as
contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, sales or contributions, as
applicable, and not as loans secured by the Receivables and Related Rights. If,
however, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such transfers are deemed to
be loans, such Originator hereby grants to the Company a first priority security
interest in all of such Originator's right, title and interest in and to the
Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created, all
monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto, and
all proceeds thereof, to secure all of such Originator's obligations hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 2.

CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

 

2.1.

Calculation of Purchase Price

. On each Servicer Report Date, the Servicer shall

deliver to the Company, each Funding Agent and each Originator a report in
substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a
"Purchase Report") with respect to the matters set forth therein and the
Company's purchases of Receivables from each Originator:

   

a.

that are to be made on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to
be delivered on the Closing Date), or

   

b.

that were made during the period commencing on the Servicer Report Date
immediately preceding such Servicer Report Date to (but not including) such
Servicer Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report).

 

The "Purchase Price" (to be paid to each Originator in accordance with the terms
of Article 3) for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased
hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

PP

=

OB X FMVD

 

where

:  

PP

=

Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.

 

OB

=

the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable.

 

FMVD

=

Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to
the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one divided by (b) the sum of (i)
one, plus (ii) the product of (A) the Prime Rate on such Payment Date, and (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Days' Sales Outstanding (calculated as
of the last day of the calendar month next preceding such Payment Date) and the
denominator of which is 365.

       "Prime Rate" means a per annum rate equal to the "prime rate" as
published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal or such other
publication as determined by the Funding Agents in their discretion.

ARTICLE 3.

CONTRIBUTION OF RECEIVABLES;
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

 

3.1.

Contribution of Receivables

. On the Initial Closing Date, Sequa contributed to the

capital of the Company, Receivables and Related Rights with respect thereto
consisting of each Receivable of Sequa that existed and was owing to Sequa on
the Initial Closing Date, beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and
continuing chronologically thereafter, and all or an undivided interest in the
most recent of such contributed Receivables such that the aggregate Outstanding
Balance of all such contributed Receivables was equal to $50,000,000.

   

3.2.

Initial Purchase Price Payment

. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase
Price for the purchase of Receivables to be made on the Closing Date (other than
Contributed Receivables), partially in cash in the amount of the proceeds of the
purchase made by the Purchasers on the Closing Date under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, and partially by issuing a promissory note in the form of
Exhibit B to such Originator with an initial principal balance equal to the
remaining Purchase Price (as each such promissory note may be amended,
supplemented, indorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with
all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or
renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein
called the "Company Note").

   

3.3.

Subsequent Purchase Price Payments

. On each Business Day falling after the

Closing Date and on or prior to the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company
shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables coming into
existence on such Business Day, in cash, to the extent provided under the terms
of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and to the extent any of such Purchase
Price remains unpaid, such remaining portion of such Purchase Price shall be
paid by means of an automatic increase to the outstanding principal amount of
the Company Note issued to such Originator. To the extent that the Company does
not have sufficient cash and cannot increase the outstanding principal amount of
the Company Note issued to Sequa in respect of the Purchase Price owed to Sequa,
Sequa may make a capital contribution of cash and/or Receivables and Related
Rights to the Company.

 

       The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with
respect to the Company Notes or otherwise to reflect the foregoing payments and
to reflect adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and Servicer's books and records
shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of and
accrued interest on any Company Note at any time. Furthermore, Servicer shall
hold the Company Notes for the benefit of the applicable Originators, and all
payments under the Company Notes shall be made to the Servicer for the account
of the applicable payee thereof. Each applicable Originator hereby irrevocably
authorizes Servicer to mark the Company Notes "CANCELLED" and to return such
Company Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence
of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

 

3.4.

Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution

.    

a.

If on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from any Originator
hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.2,
5.3, 5.4 or 5.11 of such Originator is not true with respect to such Receivable
or as a result of any action or inaction of such Originator, on any day any of
such representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.11 is
no longer true with respect to such a Receivable (other than a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 5.11(c) or (d) which is no longer true as a result
of an Obligor's payment obligation being discharged in bankruptcy), then the
Purchase Price (or in the case of a Contributed Receivable, the Outstanding
Balance of such Receivable (the "Contributed Value")) with respect to such
Receivables shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of
such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in
subsection (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment
on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company
promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.

   

b.

If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (including any
Contributed Receivable) purchased (or contributed) hereunder is reduced or
adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned goods or services, or
any discount or other adjustment made by any Originator, the Company or the
Servicer or any offset, setoff or dispute between such Originator or the
Servicer and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Company (or, for
periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of such Originator), then the
Purchase Price or the Contributed Value, as the case may be, with respect to
such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall
be accounted to Originator as provided in subsection (c) below.

   

c.

Any reduction in the Purchase Price (or Contributed Value) of any Receivable
pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the
account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently
purchased by the Company from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if
there are no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently
large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so
apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

     

i.

shall be paid in cash to the Company by such Originator in the manner and for
application as described in the following proviso, or

     

ii.

shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal
amount outstanding under, the Company Note, if applicable, payable to such
Originator to the extent permitted under Section 1(m) of Exhibit IV of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement;

Provided

, further, that at any time (x) when a Termination Event or an Unmatured
Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (y) on or
after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit
shall be paid by such Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately
available funds into the Concentration Account for application to the same
extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had
actually been received on such date.        

d.

Each Purchase Report (other than the Purchase Report delivered on the Closing
Date) shall include, in respect of the Receivables previously generated by each
Originator (including the Contributed Receivables), a calculation of the
aggregate reductions described in subsection (a) or (b) relating to such
Receivables since the last Purchase Report delivered hereunder, as indicated on
the books of the Company (or, for such period prior to the Closing Date, the
books of the Originators).

       

3.5.

Reconveyance of Receivables

. In the event that an Originator has paid to the

Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4,
the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without
representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens created by the
Company.

Note is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and
performance of the Senior Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth in
the following clauses of this paragraph 9:

       

(a)

No payment or other distribution of the Company's assets of any kind or

 

Character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be
made on account of this Company Note except to the extent such payment or other
distribution is (i) permitted under Section 1(m) of Exhibit IV to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) made pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of
paragraph 6 of this Company Note;

         

 

 

   

(b)

In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment,

 

Reorganization or other similar event relating to the Company, whether voluntary
or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or
receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or any sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than as permitted
by the Purchase and Sale Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively
called "Bankruptcy Proceedings"), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and
performed in full and in cash before Originator shall be entitled to receive and
to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Company Note. In order
to implement the foregoing: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or
character in respect of this Company Note to which Holder would be entitled
except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent (for
the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) Holder shall promptly file a
claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the
full outstanding amount of this Company Note, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments
and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Collateral
Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior
Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii)
Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent (acting on the behalf
of the Purchasers), in the name of Holder or otherwise, may demand, sue for,
collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and
file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect
to any and all claims of Holder relating to this Company Note, in each case
until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in
cash;

         

(c)

In the event that Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any

 

kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever, in
respect of this Company Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of
this Company Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust
for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by Holder to the
Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith.
Holder will mark its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this
Company Note is subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments
and distributions received by the Collateral Agent in respect of this Company
Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the
Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the
payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these
Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this
Company Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between Originator and
the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Collateral Agent (in the order of
application set forth in Section 1.4 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement)
toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its
creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be
deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

         

(d)

Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior

 

Interest Holders in respect of this Company Note, while any Bankruptcy
Proceedings are pending Holder shall not be subrogated to the then existing
rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until
the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash at which
time the Holder shall be subrogated to and entitled to assert the then existing
rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests. Prior
to the time when the Senior Interest Holders have been paid in full and in cash
if no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, Holder shall only be entitled to
exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or
distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Company Note) to
the extent that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be
permitted under Section 1(m) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase

Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interest;

         

(e)

These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of

 

Defining the relative rights of Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest
Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions
or elsewhere in this Company Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and Holder, the
Company's obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay Holder the
principal of and interest on this Company Note as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative
rights of Holder and creditors of the Company (other than the Senior Interest
Holders);

         

(f)

Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in

 

full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence
legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the
Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due,
other than the Senior Interests, this Company Note or any rights in respect
hereof or (ii) convert this Company Note into an equity interest in the Company,
unless Holder shall have received the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent in each case;

         

(g)

Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Collateral Agent,

 

Commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy
Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day
shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed
in full and in cash;

     

 

 

   

(h)

If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is

 

Rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether
in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination
Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case
may be, as though such payment had not been made;

           

(i)

Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole

 

discretion, without notice to Holder, and without waiving any of its rights
under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions:
(i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior
Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any
other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii)
extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original
period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise
any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv)
amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction
Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or
permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or
property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or
more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release,
compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with
respect to any such rights or property;

           

(j)

Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination

 

Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence,
creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests;
and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or
realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security
therefor;

           

(k)

Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and

 

subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such
Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign or transfer any or all
of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such
assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such
Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these
Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or
transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or
transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these
Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee
were the assignor or transferor; and

           

(l)

These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder

 

of this Company Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue
to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the
benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Collateral Agent may proceed to
enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

 

10.

General

. No failure or delay on the part of Originator in exercising any power or

right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment,
modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this
Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in
writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and (ii) all consents
required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been
received by the appropriate Persons.

     

11.

Maximum Interest

. Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary,

the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount
outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the
principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum
nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under
applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the
"Highest Lawful Rate"). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise
by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if
the Holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall
receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the
effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a
rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which
would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be
reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law and (ii) any unearned interest
paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or
received by Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of
determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to
Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the "Originator's
Maximum Permissible Rate") shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws
applicable to Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating
and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount
has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged
or received by Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time
to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Originator on any date shall be
computed at Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of
the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Originator would
be less than the amount of interest payable to Originator computed at
Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to
Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall
continue to be computed at Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate until the total
amount of interest payable to Originator shall equal the total amount of
interest which would have been payable to Originator if the total amount of
interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the
foregoing sentence.

         

12.

No Negotiation

. This Company Note is not negotiable.    

 

 

 

13.

Governing Law

. THIS COMPANY NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN NEW

YORK, NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE

. OF NEW YORK.
