the benefits provided for in the Letter Agreement, or are referred to therein.
Reference is made to the Letter Agreement for a statement of further terms and

provisions of the Letter Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference with the
same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.
All or any part of the unpaid balance of this Note may be prepaid at
any time without penalty. At the option of the then holder of this Note, any
payment under this Note may be applied first to the payment of other charges,
fees and expenses under this Note and any other agreement or writing in
connection with this Note, second to the payment of interest accrued through the
date of payment, and third to the payment of principal. Amounts may be advanced
and readvanced under this Note, provided the principal balance outstanding shall
not exceed the amount first above written.
This Note is secured by (i) a Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge
Agreement") dated March 21, 1996 between the Borrower and the Bank, and (ii) a

this Note plus accrued interest and other charges, fees and expenses under this
