apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under such

          consent of the Lender. This Agreement and the Note shall be governed
          by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
          York.

          the Borrower in connection herewith may be brought by the Lender in
          the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District
          Court for the Southern District of New York, or any other court to the

          jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York or of the United
          States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and
          irrevocably waives any present or future claim that any such court is

The interest shall be on any and all principal amounts remaining unpaid
hereunder from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until said
principal amounts are paid in full, payable monthly in arrears commencing
_______, 2001, and thereafter during the term hereof and on the final day when
said principal amounts are paid and, with respect to interest on any overdue
principal amount, payable on demand, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
equal to one percent (1%) per annum above the rate of interest announced
publicly by Standard Chartered Bank in New York, New York, USA, from time to
time as said bank's prime or base rate (the "Base Rate"). The Borrower
acknowledges that the Base Rate does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of
interest charged by said bank to any class of customer or in respect of any
class of loan. Each change in the fluctuating interest rate hereunder shall take
effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate and all
computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for
the actual number of days elapsed.

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America to the Lender at 460 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds, or
at such other address as the holder hereof may direct. Whenever any payment
shall be stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public or bank holiday or
the equivalent for banks generally under the laws of the State of New York (any
other day being a "Business Day"), such payment may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest.

In the event of any default in connection with any payment under the
aforementioned payment schedule, all remaining unpaid amounts shall immediately
become due and payable demand.

This Note is the Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the
Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 1, 2000 (the "Term Loan
Agreement"). The Term Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions
for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated
events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the
maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

This Note amends and restates the Promissory Note executed by Borrower dated
April 1, 1999. This note is secured by a Security Interest granted by Borrower
to Lender covering all of Lender's assets, and reflected by a UCC 1 which has
been filed with the state of New Jersey and county of Middlesex.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein
(without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law).

The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit
or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities
hereunder or arising out of or in connection with this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in
any such action, suit or proceeding may be brought in the United States Federal
Court for the Southern District of New York or in the courts of the State of New
York, as the holder hereof may elect.

final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under such

promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such

November 1, 2000, and thereafter during the term hereof and on the final day
when said principal amounts are paid and, with respect to interest on any
overdue principal amount, payable on demand, at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum equal to one percent (1%) per annum above the rate of interest announced
publicly by Standard Chartered Bank in New York, New York, USA, from time to
time as said bank's prime or base rate (the "Base Rate"). The Borrower
acknowledges that the Base Rate does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of
interest charged by said bank to any class of customer or in respect of any
class of loan. Each change in the fluctuating interest rate hereunder shall take
effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate and all
computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for
the actual number of days elapsed.

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America to the Lender at 460 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds, or
at such other address as the holder hereof may direct. Whenever any payment
shall be stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public or bank holiday or
the equivalent for banks generally under the laws of the State of New York (any
other day being a "Business Day"), such payment may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest.

In the event of any default in connection with any payment under the
aforementioned payment schedule, all remaining unpaid amounts shall immediately
become due and payable on demand.

This Note is the Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the
Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2000 (the "Term Loan
Agreement"). The Term Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions
for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated
events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the
maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

This Note amends and restates the Promissory Notes executed by Borrower dated
April 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000. This note is secured by a Security Interest
granted by Borrower to Lender covering all of Lender's assets, and reflected by
a UCC 1 which has been filed with the state of New Jersey and county of
Middlesex.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein
(without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law).

The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit
or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities
hereunder or arising out of or in connection with this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in
any such action, suit or proceeding may be brought in the United States Federal
Court for the Southern District of New York or in the courts of the State of New
York, as the holder hereof may elect.
