hereby made to the Company by the Payee that it is acquiring the Note for
investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its
participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same,
subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its
property shall at all times be within its control.

         3.2 The Payee hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or
any part of this Note unless and until it shall first have given notice to the
Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the Company an
opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel skilled
in securities matters (selected by the holder and reasonably satisfactory to the
Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without
registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any
state.

         3.3 The Company may refuse to recognize a transfer of this Note on its
books should a holder attempt to transfer this Note otherwise than in compliance
with this Section 3.

         4. Miscellaneous.

         4.1 Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and of a letter of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon reimbursement to the
Company of all reasonable expenses incident thereto, and upon surrender or
cancellation of the Note, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Note of like tenor in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

         4.2 This Note and the rights and obligations of the Company and each
holder hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the
laws of the State of New York.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note as of the day
and year first above written.
