INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and
nine-month periods then ended and the related consolidated
statement of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review
of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of II-VI
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated August 12, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which
it has been derived.

Note D - Credit Facilities
In September 1997, the Company secured a $1,980,000 loan from
a bank. The terms of the loan call for the entire principal
amount to be paid on September 25, 2002. Interest payments are
payable semi-annually from the inception of the loan at a rate
equal to the lesser of the floating rate or the maximum rate as
defined in the loan agreement. The floating rate is equal to
the Japanese Yen Base Rate, as defined, plus 1.49% and the
maximum rate is 3.74%. The interest rate in effect as of
March 31, 1998 was 2.15%. As of March 31, 1998, $1,980,000
was outstanding on this loan.
On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a $10.0 million
unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank which will expire
December 30, 1998. Borrowings under the line of credit will bear
interest at a rate equal to the Euro-Rate, as defined, plus 0.75%.
The average interest rate in effect as of March 31, 1998 was 6.39%.
As of March 31, 1998, $4.5 million was outstanding on this line of
credit.
Note E - Earnings Per Share
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 1998, ended March 31,
1998, were $1,783,000 ($0.27 per share - diluted) on revenues of
$16,230,000. This compares to net earnings of $1,768,000 ($0.27
per share - diluted) on revenues of $13,651,000 in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, net
earnings were $5,679,000 ($0.85 per share - diluted) on revenues of
$46,807,000. This compares with net earnings of $5,143,000 ($0.78
per share - diluted) on revenues of $37,951,000 for the same period
last fiscal year. The increased earnings for the quarter and nine
months ended March 31, 1998 were driven by increased revenue volume
primarily from infrared optics and materials and products from the
Company's VLOC subsidiary.
Order bookings for the third quarter were $16,083,000 compared to
$13,595,000 for the same period last fiscal year, an 18% increase.
Year-to-date order bookings grew by 21% to $48,958,000 from $40,416,000
last fiscal year. Commercial orders for infrared optics and materials
accounted for approximately 30% and 50% of the quarter and year-to-
date increases, respectively, while bookings at the Company's VLOC
subsidiary accounted for approximately 70% and 45% of the quarter and
year-to-date increases, respectively.
Manufacturing revenues for the third quarter were $15,735,000 compared
to $13,119,000 for the same period last fiscal year, a 20% increase.
Year-to-date manufacturing revenues grew by 24% to $44,996,000 from
$36,226,000 last fiscal year. For the quarter, 75% of the increase
reflects higher shipments of infrared optics and materials,
approximately 20% is attributable to increased shipments from the
Company's VLOC subsidiary and the remaining increase is primarily due
to eV PRODUCTS division shipments.
Manufacturing gross margin for the third quarter was $6,634,000 or 42%
of manufacturing revenues compared to $5,832,000 or 44% of
manufacturing revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing gross margin year-to-date was $19,792,000 or 44% of
revenues compared to $16,327,000 or 45% of revenues in fiscal 1997.
The lower gross margin percentage for the quarter reflects temporary
operating inefficiencies at the Company's VLOC subsidiary resulting
from its relocation to a newly expanded manufacturing facility. Also
impacting gross margin for the quarter were increased per unit
manufacturing costs in the eV PRODUCTS division due to the expansion
of capacity in order to meet a major customer's order which was
subsequently delayed. The decline in the year-to-date gross margin
percentage is due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the
Japanese yen, increased per unit manufacturing costs in the eV
PRODUCTS division due to slower than expected revenue growth and
operating inefficiencies at the Company's VLOC subsidiary resulting
from its relocation to a new manufacturing facility.
Internal research and development expenses for the quarter were
$516,000 or 3% of revenues compared to $312,000 or 2% of revenues
for the same period last year. Internal research and development
expenses year-to-date were $1,161,000 or 2% of revenues compared to
$696,000 or 2% of revenues in fiscal 1997. The increased expenses for
both the quarter and year-to-date reflect a shift toward internally
funded projects associated with the development of new materials to
improve profitability and expand product offering, as well as
continued efforts to improve CdZnTe material growth yields.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter
were $3,727,000 or 23% of revenues compared to $3,210,000 or 24% of
revenues for last fiscal year's third quarter. Selling, general and
administrative expenses year-to -date were $10,829,000 or 23% of
revenues compared to $9,191,000 or 24% of revenues in fiscal 1997.
The expense increase is attributable to higher general and
administrative expenses needed to support the Company's growth.
10
Other income for the third quarter was $41,000 compared to other
income of $52,000 for last fiscal year's third quarter. Other
expense year-to-date was $142,000 compared to other income of
$345,000 in fiscal 1997. The year-to-date fluctuation is due to
foreign currency translation losses as a result of the decline of
the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar and lower interest
income resulting from lower invested cash balances. The lower cash
balance was primarily due to increased capital spending. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".
The Company's year-to-date effective tax rate was 30% of pre-tax
earnings which was slightly higher than the 29% effective rate for
fiscal 1997. This increase is due to a higher percentage of
earnings generated from U.S. operations which are generally taxed
at higher rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 1998 by
$8,718,000 primarily due to $16,932,000 in capital expenditures,
partially offset by proceeds from long-term borrowings and cash
generated from operations.
The capital expenditures focused on increasing capacity and included
the construction costs incurred for a new 45,000 square foot
manufacturing facility at the Company's VLOC subsidiary in Florida,
which was substantially completed during the third quarter of fiscal
1998, and a new 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility for the
Company's eV PRODUCTS division in Pennsylvania, which will be
substantially completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,
as well as the purchase and improvement of a 22,000 square foot
manufacturing facility at the Company's VLOC subsidiary.
The Company generated $1,647,000 in cash from operations for the
first nine months of fiscal 1998. The $8,752,000 in cash generated
from net earnings before depreciation and amortization year-to-date
was offset by the payment of compensation costs relating to the
Company's fiscal 1997 and 1998 world-wide profit-driven bonus and
retirement programs and increases in accounts receivable and
inventories needed to support the growth in sales volume.
Historically, the Company has funded growth from cash flow from
operations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings. In the first nine
months of fiscal 1998, in addition to cash generated from operations,
the Company executed a $1,980,000 low interest rate loan and entered
into a $10.0 million unsecured line of credit. As of March 31, 1998,
the Company had $1,980,000 and $4.5 million outstanding under these
instruments, respectively. The March 31, 1998 cash balance, in
addition to available borrowings under the line of credit, will be
used for working capital needs, further capital expenditures,
scheduled debt payments and other general corporate business purposes.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward looking
statements as defined by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, including the statements regarding the Company's ability to
fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures and scheduled
debt payments from internally generated funds and existing cash
reserves. The Company's ability to fund future capital needs from
internally generated funds and existing cash reserves could differ
from these statements if world-wide economic conditions change,
competitive conditions intensify, technology problems emerge, and/or
if suitable acquisitions of technologies or businesses cannot be
consummated.
There are certain risk factors that could affect the Company's
business, results of operations or financial condition. Investors
are encouraged to review the risk factors set forth in the Company's
1997 Form 10-K filed on September 29, 1997.

Re: $10,000,000 Committed Line of Credit
237,000,000 Japanese Yen Term Loan
Ladies/Gentlemen:
We are pleased to inform you that PNC Bank, National Association
(the "Bank") has approved your request for (i) a $10,000,000
unsecured, committed line of credit (the "Line of Credit") and
(ii) a 237,000,000 Japanese Yen term loan (the "Tern Loan") to II-
VI, Inc. (the "Borrower"). The Bank is willing to establish the
Line of Credit and the Term Loan upon the following terms and
conditions:
1. The Line of Credit.
(a) Commitment. The Bank hereby agrees to make
advances ("Advances") to the Borrower under the Line of
Credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 at
any one time outstanding. The Line of Credit shall be
available for a period of 364 days from the date hereof to
December 30, 1998 (the "Expiration Date"), or such later
date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice to
the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrower shall have the right to borrow, repay and
reborrow amounts hereunder during the period of the Line of
Credit; provided that principal amounts outstanding and all
accrued unpaid interest under the Line of Credit shall be
repaid in full on or before the Expiration Date.
(b) Note. The Borrower's obligation to repay the
Advances shall be evidenced by a promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto
(the "Line of Credit Note").
(c) Advance Procedures. The Borrower may request
Advances under the Line of Credit upon giving oral or
written notice to the Bank by 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania time) (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed Advance, for Advances bearing interest based on
the Euro-Rate as provided below, or (ii) on the
same day (which shall be a Business Day) as the proposed
Advance, for Advances bearing interest based on the Prime
Rate as provided below; in each case followed promptly
thereafter by the Borrower's written confirmation to the
Bank of any oral notice. The Borrower authorizes the Bank
to accept telephonic requests for Advances, and the Bank
shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any person
providing such instructions.
(d) Interest Rate. Each Advance under the Line of
Credit shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of
days elapsed) equal to the sum of (i) the Euro-Rate plus
(ii) seventy-five (75) basis points (0.75%) per annum, for
the Euro-Rate Interest Period in an amount equal to such
Advance and having a comparable maturity as determined at or
about 11 a.m. (eastern time) two Business Days prior to the
commencement of the Euro-Rate Interest Period. For the
purpose hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"Business Day" shall mean any day other than a
Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which
commercial banks are authorized or required to be
closed for business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
"Euro-Rate" shall mean, with respect to any
Advance for any Euro-Rate Interest Period, the
interest rate per annum determined by the Bank by
dividing (the resulting quotient rounded upward to the
nearest 1/16th of 1% per annum) (i) the rate of
interest determined by the Bank in accordance with its
usual procedures (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) to be the eurodollar
rate two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of
such Euro-Rate Interest Period for an amount
comparable to such Advance and having a borrowing date
and a maturity comparable to such Euro-Rate Interest
Period by (ii) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Euro-
Rate Reserve Percentage.
"Euro-Rate Interest Period" shall mean the
period of one, two or three months selected by the
Borrower commencing on the date of disbursement of a
Advance and each successive period selected by the
Borrower thereafter; provided, that if a Euro-Rate
Interest Period would end on a day which is not a
Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding
Business Day, unless such day falls in the succeeding
calendar month in which case the Euro-Rate Interest
Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day.
In no event shall any Euro-Rate Interest Period end on
a day after the Expiration Date.
"Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage" shall mean the
maximum effective percentage in effect on such day as
prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the
reserve requirements (including, without limitation,
supplemental, marginal and emergency reserve
requirements) with respect to eurocurrency funding
(currently referred to as "Eurocurrency liabilities").
If the Bank determines (which determination shall be final
and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting
the interbank eurodollar market generally, deposits in
dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to
banks in the interbank eurodollar market for the selected
term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the
Euro-Rate, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the
Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, (a) the availability of Advances bearing
interest based on the Euro-Rate shall be suspended, and (b)
the interest rate for all Advances then bearing interest
based on the Euro-Rate shall be converted at the expiration
of the then current Euro-Rate Interest Period(s) to, and any
new Advances shall be made at, a per annum interest rate
equal to the rate announced from time to time by the Bank as
its prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest interest
rate then being charged to commercial borrowers by the Bank
(the "Prime Rate") minus 125 basis points (1.25%).
In addition, if, after the date of this letter, the Bank
shall determine (which determination shall be final and
conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of
or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline,
request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to
make or maintain or fund loans bearing interest based on the
Euro-Rate Option, the Bank shall notify the Borrower. Upon
receipt of such notice, until the Bank notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer apply, (a) the availability of Advances bearing
interest based on the Euro-Rate shall be suspended, and (b)
the interest rate on all Advances then bearing interest
based on the Euro-Rate shall be converted to bear interest
at a rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 125 basis points
(1.25%) per annum either (i) on the last day of the then
current Euro-Rate Interest Period(s) if the Bank may
lawfully continue to maintain Advances based on the Euro-
Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately if the Bank may not
lawfully continue to maintain Advances based on the Euro-
Rate.
(e) Payment of Interest. The Borrower shall pay
accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Line
of Credit Note in arrears: (a) for the portion of the
Advances bearing interest based on the Euro-Rate, on the
last day of each Euro-Rate Interest Period, (b) if any Euro-
Rate Interest Period is longer than ninety days, then also
on the ninetieth day of such interest period and every
ninety days thereafter, (c) for the portion of the Advances
bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term
hereof, and (d) for all Advances, at maturity, whether by
acceleration of the Line of Credit Note or otherwise, and
after maturity, on demand until paid in full.
(f) Default Rate. After the principal amount of all
or any part of the Advances shall have become due and
payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, all the
Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall
be 200 basis points (2%) per annum above the rate otherwise
in effect
2. Term Loan.
(a) Type of Facility and Use of Proceeds. This is a
term loan in the amount of 237,000,000 Japanese Yen (the
"Term Loan").
(b) Interest Rate. Amounts outstanding under the
Term Loan will bear interest as provided in the Term Note
(as defined below).

as of the time made, a certification by the Borrower that
the Borrower shall have performed and complied with all
agreements and conditions herein required under this
Agreement, and at the time of such advance, no condition or
event shall exist which constitutes an Event of Default.

COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
$10,000,000.00 December 31, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, II-VI INCORPORATED (the "Borrower"), with an
address at 375 Saxonburg Boulevard, Saxonburg, Pa 16056 promises
to pay to the order of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the
"Bank"), in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds at its offices located at One PNC
Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2707, or at such
other location as the Bank may designate from time to time, the
principal sum of TEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00)
(the "Facility") or such lesser amount as may be advanced to or
for the benefit of the Borrower hereunder, together with interest
accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date
hereof, as provided below:
1. Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof
shall be due and payable at the rates and the times set forth in
that certain Letter Agreement dated December 31, 1997 by and
between the Borrower and the Bank (the Letter Agreement and all
extensions, renewals, amendments, substitutions or replacements
referred to herein as the "Agreement"). In no event will the rate
of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.
2. Advances. The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
hereunder until the Expiration Date, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Note and the Loan Documents (as defined
herein). The "Expiration Date" shall mean December 30, 1998, or
such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice
from the Bank to the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to
extend or renew the Facility or this Note beyond the initial
Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of advances under this Note exceed the face amount of this
Note.
3. Payment Terms. The outstanding principal balance and any
accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the
Expiration Date. If any payment under this Note shall become due
on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the
State where the Bank's office indicated above is located, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Bank to charge the Borrower's deposit account at the Bank for any
payment when due hereunder. Payments received will be applied to
charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees), accrued
interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its
sole discretion.
4. Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay at
any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without
penalty, any advance hereunder which is accruing interest at a
rate based upon a floating rate. If the Borrower prepays all or
any part of any advance which is accruing interest at a fixed rate
on other than the last day of the applicable interest period, the
Borrower shall also pay to the Bank, on demand therefor, the Cost
of Prepayment. "Cost of Prepayment" means an amount equal to the
present value, if positive, of the product of (a) the difference
between (i) the yield, on the beginning date of the applicable
interest period, of a U.S. Treasury obligation with a maturity
similar to the applicable interest period minus (ii) the yield, on
the prepayment date, of a U.S. Treasury obligation with a maturity
similar to the remaining maturity of the applicable interest
period, and (b) the principal amount to be prepaid, and (c) the
number of years, including fractional years from the prepayment
date to the end of the applicable interest period. The yield on
any U.S. Treasury obligation shall be determined by reference to
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) "Selected Interest
Rates". For purposes of making present value calculations, the
yield to maturity of a similar maturity U.S. Treasury obligation
on the prepayment date shall be deemed the discount rate. The
Cost of Prepayment shall also apply to any payments made after
acceleration of the maturity of this Note.
5. Yield Protection. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, on
written demand therefor, together with the written evidence of the
justification therefor, all direct costs incurred, losses suffered
or payments made by Bank by reason of any change in law or
regulation or its interpretation imposing any reserve, deposit,
allocation of capital, or similar requirement (including without
limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) on the Bank, its holding company or any of their
respective assets. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify
the Bank against any loss or expense which the Bank, as a
consequence of either (i) the Borrower's failure to make a payment
on the due date thereof or (ii) the Borrower's payment, prepayment
or conversion of any Loan bearing interest based upon the Euro-
Rate on a day other than the last day of the applicable Euro-Rate
Interest Period, may sustain or incur in liquidating or employing
deposits from third parties acquired to effect, fund or maintain
such Loan or any part thereof. The Bank's determination of an
amount payable under this paragraph shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable on demand.
6. Loan Account. The Bank shall open and maintain on its books a
loan account in the name of the Borrower with respect to advances,
payments and the computation and payment of interest, fees and
other amounts due hereunder and under the Agreement. Such loan
account shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower as to the
amount at any time due to the Bank from the Borrower except in the
case of error in computation.
7. Other Loan Documents. This Note is issued in connection with
the Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference (the Agreement, the Notes and the other instruments and
agreements described therein, shall be collectively referred to as
the "Loan Documents"), and is secured by the property described in
the Loan Documents (if any) and by such other collateral as
previously may have been or may in the future be granted to the
Bank to secure this Note. Initially capitalized words and terms
used in this Note without definition shall have the same meanings
herein as are assigned to them in the other Loan Documents.
8. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
events will be deemed to be an "Event of Default" under this Note:
(i) the nonpayment of any principal, interest or other
indebtedness under this Note when due; (ii) the occurrence of any
event of default or default and the lapse of any notice or cure
period under any Loan Document or any other debt, liability or
obligation to the Bank of any Obligor; (iii) the filing by or
against any Obligor of any proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, conservatorship or
similar proceeding (and, in the case of any such proceeding
instituted against any Obligor, such proceeding is not dismissed
or stayed within 30 days of the commencement thereof, provided
that the Bank shall not be obligated to advance additional funds
during such period); (iv) any assignment by any Obligor for the
benefit of creditors, or any levy, garnishment, attachment or
similar proceeding is instituted against any property of any
Obligor held by or deposited with the Bank; (v) a default with
respect to any other indebtedness of any Obligor for borrowed
money, if the effect of such default is to cause or permit the
acceleration of such debt; (vi) the commencement of any
foreclosure or forfeiture proceeding, execution or attachment
against any collateral securing the obligations of any Obligor to
the Bank; (vii) the entry of a final judgment against any Obligor
and the failure of such Obligor to discharge the judgment within
ten days of the entry thereof; (viii) in the event that this Note
or any guarantee executed by any Guarantor is secured, the failure
of any Obligor to provide the Bank with additional collateral if
in the opinion of the Bank at any time or times, the market value
of any of the collateral securing this Note or any guarantee has
depreciated; (ix) any material adverse change in the business,
assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations
of any Obligor; (x) the revocation or attempted revocation, in
whole or in part, of any guarantee by any Guarantor; (xi) any
representation or warranty made by any Obligor to the Bank in any
Loan Document, or any other documents now or in the future
securing the obligations of any Obligor to the Bank, is false,
erroneous or misleading in any material respect; or (xii) the
failure of any Obligor to observe or perform any covenant or other
agreement with the Bank contained in any Loan Document or any
other documents now or in the future securing the obligations of
any Obligor to the Bank.
As used herein, the term "Obligor" means any Borrower and any
Guarantor, and the term "Guarantor" means any guarantor of the
obligations of the Borrower to the Bank existing on the date of
this Note or arising in the future.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (a) the Bank shall be
under no further obligation to make advances hereunder; (b) if an
Event of Default specified in clause (iii) or (iv) above shall
occur, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest
hereunder together with any additional amounts payable hereunder
shall be immediately due and payable without demand or notice of
any kind; (c) if any other Event of Default shall occur, the
outstanding principal balance and accrued interest hereunder
together with any additional amounts payable hereunder, at the
option of the Bank and without demand or notice of any kind, may
be accelerated and become immediately due and payable; (d) at the
option of the Bank, this Note will bear interest at the Default
Rate (as provided for in the Agreement) from the date of the
occurrence of the Event of Default; and (e) the Bank may exercise
from time to time any of the rights and remedies available to the
Bank under the Loan Documents or under applicable law.
9. Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of
setoff against the money, securities or other property of the
Borrower given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with
respect to the Borrower's obligations to the Bank under this Note
and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory
security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against,
and the Borrower hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and
transfers to the Bank all of the Borrower's right, title and
interest in and to, all deposits, moneys, securities and other
property of the Borrower now or hereafter in the possession of or
on deposit with, or in transit to, the Bank whether held in a
general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with
someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise,
excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every
such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised
without demand upon or notice to the Borrower. Every such right
of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action
of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books
and records at a later time.
10. Miscellaneous. No delay or omission of the Bank to exercise
any right or power arising hereunder shall impair any such right
or power or be considered to be a waiver of any such right or
power, nor shall the Bank's action or inaction impair any such
right or power. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, to the
extent permitted by law, all costs and expenses incurred by the
Bank in the enforcement of its rights in this Note and in any
security therefor, including without limitation reasonable fees
and expenses of the Bank's counsel. If any provision of this Note
is found to be invalid by a court, all the other provisions of
this Note will remain in full force and effect.
The Borrower and all other makers and indorsers of this Note
hereby forever waive presentment, protest, notice of dishonor and
notice of non-payment. The Borrower also waives all defenses
based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.
If this Note is executed by more than one Borrower, the
obligations of such persons or entities hereunder will be joint
and several. This Note shall bind the Borrower and its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and the
benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its
successors and assigns.
This Note has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will
be deemed to be made in the State where the Bank's office
indicated above is located. THIS NOTE WILL BE INTERPRETED AND THE
RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE BANK AND THE BORROWER HERETO DETERMINED

of any state or federal court for the county or judicial district where
the Bank's office indicated above is located, and consents that all
service of process be sent by nationally recognized overnight courier
service directed to the Borrower at the Borrower's address set forth

nothing contained in this Note will prevent the Bank from bringing
any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any
rights against the Borrower individually, against any security or
against any property of the Borrower within any other county,
state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most
convenient forum for both the Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower

We have made a review, in accordance with standards
