(b)          EACH COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN ANY COMPANY,
ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE HOLDER, ON THE OTHER HAND, PERTAINING TO THIS NOTE OR
ANY OF THE OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT

JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH COMPANY
HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)          EACH COMPANY DESIRES THAT ITS DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE
APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH COMPANY HERETO WAIVES
ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE
HOLDER AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, ANY
OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

5.8          Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Note.

5.9          Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum rate
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Companies to the Holder and thus refunded
to the Companies.

5.10       Security Interest. The Holder has been granted a security interest
(i) in certain assets of each of the Companies as more fully described in the
Security Agreement and (ii) in the equity interests of Parent’s Subsidiaries

rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Note to favor any party
against the other.

5.12       Registered Obligation. This Note is intended to be a registered
obligation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)
and the Company (or its agent) shall register this Note (and thereafter shall
maintain such registration) as to both principal and any stated interest.
Notwithstanding any document, instrument or agreement relating to this Note to
the contrary, transfer of this Note (or the right to any payments of principal
or stated interest thereunder) may only be effected by (i) surrender of this
Note and either the reissuance by the Company of this Note to the new holder or
the issuance by the Company of a new instrument to the new holder, or (ii)
transfer through a book entry system maintained by the Company (or its agent),
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)(B).

5.13       Amendment and Restatement. This Note amends and restates in its
entirety (and is given in substitution for but not in satisfaction of each of
each of the Revolving Note and the Minimum Borrowing Note issued by the

“Prior Notes”)). This Note does not effect a

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

refinancing of all or any portion of the Obligations heretofore evidenced by the
Prior Notes, it being the intention of the Companies and the Holder to avoid
effectuating a novation of such Obligations.
