This Note is one of one or more Commercial Company Second Secured Term

entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or
in part prior to the maturity date stated above and is subject to mandatory
prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the
Credit Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part,
all as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements
between the Borrowers and the Banks and the Agent, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that
in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any
of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged
or received by the Banks exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would
otherwise be payable to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful amount,
the interest payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Banks
shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in
excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the
Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess
shall be refunded to the undersigned Borrower. All interest paid or agreed
to be paid to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period
until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the
period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon
for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the
Borrowers and the Banks and the Agent.
In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount
of this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in said Credit Agreement.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving effect to the
conflict of laws rules of any jurisdiction).
The undersigned maker and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waive
presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as
specifically otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to
extensions of time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence without
notice.
