                  (f) The entry of a final judgment for the payment of money
against Borrower which, within thirty (30) days after such entry, shall not have

         11. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at
its option and without notice to Borrower, may declare immediately due and
payable all amounts due hereunder, together with interest accrued thereon at the
applicable rate specified herein to the date of the Event of Default and
thereafter at the Default Rate. Payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in
whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies in this Note, or as
may be available to Lender at law or in equity. If Lender employs counsel to
enforce this Note by suit or otherwise, as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Borrower will reimburse Lender for all costs of suit and other
expenses in connection therewith, whether or not suit is actually instituted,
together with Lender's reasonable attorney's fees incurred for collection
together, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with interest on any
judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate, including interest at the
Default Rate from and after the date of execution, judicial or foreclosure sale
until actual payment is made to Lender of the full amount due to Lender.

         12. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. Neither the failure nor any delay on

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any
such right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any Event of Default shall
affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Lender. No
single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
by Lender shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing
between Lender and Borrower shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver
of Lender's rights hereunder or affect the duties or obligations of Borrower.

         13. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in
Lender's favor at law or in equity.

         14. EXERCISE OF REMEDIES. The exercise by Lender of its rights and
remedies and the entry of any judgment by Lender shall not adversely affect in
any way the interest rates payable hereunder on any amounts due to Lender, but
interest shall continue to accrue on such amounts at the Default Rate specified
herein.

         15. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Borrower hereby consents to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and agrees that, subject to Lender's election, any action or
proceeding relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereunder may
be litigated in such courts, and Borrower waives any objection which it may have
based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or FORUM NON CONVENIENS
to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service
of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be
made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address set forth in SECTION 17.
Nothing contained in this SECTION 15 shall affect the right of Lender to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Lender
to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts
of any other jurisdiction.

         16. WAIVERS. In connection with any proceedings hereunder, including
without limitation any action by Lender in replevin, foreclosure or other court
