3.   The  Borrower  shall,  effective  as of June 1, 2006,  pay  interest on the
     Capitalized  Principal of this Amended and Restated  Promissory Note at the

     writing,  duly signed on behalf of the Lender;  and each such waiver  shall
     apply only with respect to the specific instance involved,  and shall in no
     way impair the rights of the Lender in any other respect at any other time.

7.   Any term or condition of this Amended and Restated  Promissory  Note may be
     waived at any time by the party that is entitled  to the  benefit  thereof,
     but no such  waiver  shall be  effective  unless  set  forth  in a  written
     instrument  duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or
     condition.

     enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery by the

     the  Borrower of its  obligations  hereunder  and the  consummation  of the
     transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby  does not and will not:  (a)

     conditions  or  provisions  of  the  Borrower's  charter  instruments;  (b)
     conflict  with or result in a violation  or breach of any term or provision

     to the Holder hereof.

     action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
     the Lender of this Amended and Restated Promissory Note against impairment.

     institutions  with respect to wire  transfer or other  transmittal  charges

     discretion.

5.   The failure at any time of the Lender to exercise any of its options or any
     other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof,  nor shall it

     pursued singly,  successively or together, at the option of the Lender. The

     in no way impair the rights of the Lender in any other respect at any other
     time.

     that is  entitled  to the  benefit  thereof,  but no such  waiver  shall be
     effective  unless set forth in a written  instrument duly executed by or on
     behalf of the party waiving such term or condition.

7.   The  Borrower  represents  and  warrants  that  this  Note is the valid and
     binding  obligation of the Borrower,  fully  enforceable in accordance with
     its terms.  The  execution  and delivery by the Borrower of this Note,  the
     performance  by  the  Borrower  of  its   obligations   hereunder  and  the
     consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby does not
     and will not: (a)  conflict  with or result in a violation or breach of any
     of  the  terms,   conditions  or  provisions  of  the  Borrower's   charter
     instruments;  (b)  conflict  with or result in a violation or breach of any
     term or provision of any law or order  applicable to the Borrower or any of

     violation  or breach of, or (ii) result in or give to any person any rights
