approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, on the day that is two (2) London Banking

Days preceding the first day of such LIBOR Advance as selected by the

calculation agent. The principal London office of each of the four major London

banks will be requested to provide a quotation of its U.S. dollar deposit

offered rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that

date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations

are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be determined on the

basis of the rated quoted for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks

for a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Advance offered by major banks in

New York City at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the day that is

two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such LIBOR Advance. In

the event that Payee is unable to obtain any such quotations as provided above,

it will be deemed that LIBOR pursuant to a LIBOR Advance cannot be determined.

period during which such Reserve Percentage shall apply, LIBOR shall be equal to

         (b) Provided there is no Default and/or Event of Default under this

Note, the Loan Document(s) or any other document or instrument delivered as

additional security for this Note, Maker may elect to pay interest on the entire

or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount (subject to the minimum

amount limitations set forth herein and the requirements set forth below) at a

rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Option for the Interest Period elected by

Maker from (and including) the first day of each Interest Period to (but not

including) the last day of such Interest Period. Maker shall, subject to

delivery by it of a LIBOR Acceptance Notice, elect that the entire or any

portion of the outstanding Principal

  receive such LIBOR Notice prior to 11:00

A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day at least three (3) Business Days

prior to:

 

                  (1) the last day of an Interest Period (in the case of an

         outstanding LIBOR Advance);

 

                  or

                                       8

<PAGE>

 

If Maker fails to give a LIBOR Notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to

the end of an Interest Period, then, on the last day of the Interest Period, the

outstanding LIBOR Advance shall convert to a Prime Rate Advance. On the date

specified in the LIBOR Notice as the date on which the applicable Interest

Period is to begin, Payee shall notify Maker's Authorized Representative by

telephone (such notice to be promptly confirmed in writing) or by telex, which

notice shall specify the date, the proposed LIBOR Rate and the period of time on

such date during which such rate is to be available. If Payee fails to specify

the period for which such quoted rate is available, then such rate shall be

deemed to be available only for thirty minutes from the time Payee, orally or in

writing, notifies Maker's Authorized Representative of such rate. If Maker then

wishes to obtain such Loan at such LIBOR Rate, it shall promptly give notice to

Payee to such effect (the LIBOR Acceptance Notice"), which notice shall be

irrevocable and may be by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing.

 

          (c) Without in any way limiting Maker's obligation to confirm in

writing any telephonic LIBOR Notice or LIBOR Acceptance Notice, Payee may, prior

to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability on the basis of

telephonic notice which it believes in good faith to be from Maker and, in any

event, Payee may act without liability on the basis of telephonic or written

notice which it believes in good faith to be from Maker.

 

         5. Conditions to Advance. At such time as the Original Note has been

fully advanced, Maker shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions

of this Note, of requesting from Payee advances hereunder in minimum increments

of $1,000,000 each (unless the amount remaining to be advanced is less than said

amount), with the aggregate amount of all such advances not to exceed

$3,990,135.17 (each, every and any one of such additional advances shall be

referred to herein as the "Advance"). The obligation of Payee to make the

Advance hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following

conditions precedent:

 

                  (a) An Authorized Representative shall give Payee at least ten

         (10) Business Days prior written notice, specifying the date of the

         proposed borrowing. Any such
