Rate. Whether the Variable Rate Option or Libor Rate Option is in effect,

Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party and hold Secured Party harmless from any
loss or expense ("breakage fees" or "breakage costs") which Secured Party may

Rate breakage fee shall be due. The term "Rollover Date" applicable to a
particular Libor Interest Period shall mean the last day of Libor Interest
Period. The Secured Party shall submit a certificate to the Debtor setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount of the breakage costs, which certificate
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The breakage costs shall

breakage costs for any portion of the indebtedness being prepaid bearing
interest at the Variable Rate Option.

be computed at such maximum rate and any prior interest payments made in excess
of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments
made in reduction of the principal balance of such note.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be prepayable, in whole
or in part, subject to the provisions contained in the Loan Agreement.

be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership or any other

collection upon an Event of Default, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to
the principal, premium, breakage costs, and interest due and payable hereon,
all costs of collection or attempting to collect this Note, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

ANY CONTROVERSY WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE
OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO WILL BE TRIED BY A
COURT BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. IN ADDITION, THE BORROWER WAIVES THE
