including, without limitation, the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on December 3, 2004;
provided, however, in the event that the principal amount owed by Lender under the TI Note, is reduced by less than fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00) pursuant to the procedures of the TI Note in connection with a Distribution Transaction, then Borrower shall issue a note with such terms and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “New Note”) to Lender with a principal amount (provided that in no event shall such amount be less than zero) equal to (x) fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00) minus (y) the amount by which the principal amount owed by Lender under the TI Note is reduced pursuant to the adjustment procedures of the TI Note in connection with such Distribution Transaction. In the event that the New Note is issued, the terms thereof shall supercede the provisions of this Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, other than those provisions of Article 6 hereof which do not conflict with the provisions of the New Note.
2.3 Interest Payments. Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to two and forty-eight one-hundredths percent (2.48%). All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed for each day on which any Principal Amount is outstanding under the terms of this Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. If not paid earlier, all outstanding accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable to the Lender on the Maturity Date.
2.4 Other Payment Terms.
(a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America and in same day or immediately available funds.

All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed.
2.5 Loan Account. The Obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be presumptive evidence of the amount of such Obligations, and the interest and principal payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in so doing shall not, however, limit, increase or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing hereunder. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute a promissory note in favor of Lender.
