It is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any advice, statement, representation or warranty made by any Person by or on behalf of Borrower, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, except for the express statements, representations and warranties of Borrower made or contained in this Agreement.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1. Prohibition on Assignment. Except as provided in the Subordinated Notes, Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights under this Agreement or the Subordinated Notes without the prior written consent of Lenders.
8.2. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for this Agreement.
8.3. Waiver or Amendment.

No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by a Lender or any holder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lenders to or of any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lenders to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lenders of their rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by Borrower.
8.4. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.5. Revival of Liabilities. To the extent that a Lender receives any payment on account of Borrowers Liabilities and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrowers Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received
17
by a Lender and applied on account of Borrowers Liabilities; provided, however, if a Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Borrowers Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect to which the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 3 would be applicable.
Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with its terms. Nothing herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede the Issuer from issuing additional debt of the Issuer having the same rank as the Subordinated Notes or which may be junior or senior in rank to the Subordinated Notes.
4. Merger and Sale of Assets. The Issuer shall not consolidate with or merge into another entity or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless:

A-4
then, and in each such case, unless the principal of this Note already shall have become due and payable, the Noteholder of this Note, by notice in writing to the Issuer, may declare the principal amount of this Note to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. The Issuer waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and all other notices.
The Issuer, within 90 calendar days after the receipt of written notice from any Noteholder of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note, shall mail to all Noteholders, at their addresses shown on the Security Register, such written notice of Event of Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice as certified by the Issuer in writing.

In the event of failure by the Issuer to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Note (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for 30 calendar days), the Issuer will, upon demand of the Noteholder, pay to the Noteholder the whole amount then due and payable on this Note for principal and interest (without acceleration), with interest on the overdue principal and interest at the rate borne by this Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the Issuer fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the Noteholder may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer.
Upon the occurrence of a failure by the Issuer to make any required payment of principal or interest on the Note, the Issuer shall not (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Issuers capital stock, (b) make any payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Issuer that rank equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, or (c) make any payments under any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, other than (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class of Issuers common stock; (ii) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result of a reclassification of Issuers capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of Issuers capital stock for another class or series of Issuers capital stock; (iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Issuers capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of Issuers common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any of benefit plans for Issuers directors, officers or employees or any of Issuers dividend reinvestment plans.

In a case where the Issuer is making a redemption or prepayment with respect to the Subordinated Notes in an amount less than the aggregate amount of principal of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, the Issuer shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Subordinated Notes or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed or prepaid, and in connection therewith may treat differently Subordinated Notes with outstanding principal less than, more than or equal to such amount as the Issuer shall fix in its sole discretion.

Payments of interest (other than interest payable on the Maturity Date) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds or check mailed to the registered Noteholder, as such persons address appears on the Security Register.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest shall accrue, at the rate at which interest accrues on the principal of this Note, on any amount of principal or interest on this Note not paid when due.
