In no event shall any provision of this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement, the Notes, or any other instrument evidencing or securing the
indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder ever obligate the Borrower to pay or
allow any Lender to collect interest on the Notes or any other indebtedness of
the Borrower hereunder at a rate greater than the maximum non-usurious rate
permitted by applicable law (herein referred to as the "Highest Lawful Rate"),
or obligate the Borrower to pay any taxes, assessments, charges, insurance
premiums or other amounts to the extent that such payments, when added to the
interest payable on the Notes, would be held to constitute the payment by the
Borrower of interest at a rate greater than the Highest Lawful Rate; and this
provision shall control over any provision to the contrary.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the
maturity of all or any part of the principal amount of the indebtedness of the
Borrower hereunder shall be accelerated for any reason, then such principal
amount so accelerated shall be credited with any interest theretofore paid
thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration. If,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the Notes, any
funds are applied to the payment of any part of the principal amount of the
indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder prior to the maturity thereof, then (a)
any interest
<PAGE>
which would otherwise thereafter accrue on the principal amount so paid by such
application shall be canceled, and (b) the indebtedness of the Borrower
hereunder remaining unpaid after such application shall be credited with the
amount of all interest, if any, theretofore collected on the principal amount so
paid by such application and remaining unearned at the date of said application;
and if the funds so applied shall be sufficient to pay in full all the
indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder, then the Lenders shall refund to the
Borrower all interest theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned
at the time of such acceleration. Regardless of any other provision in this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or in any of the written evidences of the
indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall never be required to
pay any unearned interest on such indebtedness or any portion thereof, and shall
never be required to pay interest thereon at a rate in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate construed by courts having competent jurisdiction thereof.

investment have been released from escrow to the Company and the associated
