collection or enforcement and other similar
amounts due, if any, under
the Note and any

(a)       If
(i) any payment
under the Note
or other Loan
Documents are past
due for ten (10)
calendar days or
more, or (ii)
any other Event
of Default occurs under

such event the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall bear
interest during the period in which the Borrower is
in default, or subsequent to the Maturity

to cover the extra expense involved
in handling delinquent payments. Additionally, if the balloon principal payment due
under the Note is not paid when due, Borrower should also be obligated to pay Lender a Late Charge on said balloon payment without
demand from Lender and without allowance for any grace period. The acceptance of
a Late Charge shall not constitute
a waiver of
any default then existing or thereafter arising under this Agreement. Further,
Lender's failure to collect a Late Charge
at any time shall not
constitute a waiver of Lender's right
thereafter, at any time and from time
to time (including upon acceleration
of the Note or upon payment in
full of the Loan), to collect any
such previously uncollected Late Charge
or to collect any
subsequently accruing Late Charge.

duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now
or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes
and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the
Lender as a result of a present or former
connection between the Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing
such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely
from the Lender having executed, delivered
or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced,
any Loan Document). If any such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded
Taxes") are required to be withheld

Lender hereunder or under the Note, the
amounts so payable to the Lender shall

yield to the
Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded
Taxes) interest or any such

Taxes are payable by the Borrower,
as promptly as possible thereafter the
Borrower shall send to the
Lender a certified copy of an
original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment
thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to the
Lender the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Lender for any
incremental taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by the Lender as
a result of any such
failure.  The agreements in this
subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Note and all other amounts payable hereunder.

pledged to Lender and Lender shall have a first priority lien thereon.

(a)       This
Agreement shall be
binding upon and
inure to the
benefit of the Borrower,

Lender may, in
the ordinary course
of its commercial
banking business and in

law, at any time
sell to one or more banks or other entities
("Participants") participating interests in any

shall have become due
and payable upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, each Participant
shall be deemed to have the
right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts
owing under this Agreement and the Note
to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it

the Loan Documents, provided that
such Participant shall only be entitled
to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the

have acquired its participating interest
to share with the Lender
the proceeds thereof as provided in this Agreement. The Borrower also agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of subsections
10.5 and 10.6 with respect to its participation
in the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant
to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

 

(c)       The
Lender may, in
the ordinary course
of its commercial
banking business and in

and obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(d)       The
Borrower authorizes the
Lender to disclose
to any Participant

a "Transferee") and
any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in the Lender's possession concerning
the Borrower and its Affiliates which

by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant

(e)       Nothing
herein shall prohibit
the Lender from
pledging or assigning
the Note to any
Federal Reserve Lender
in accordance with applicable
law.
