(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans provided that if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a “Transferee”)) (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). To the extent any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee) and the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) is not entitled to a credit for, or to a refund of, such amount deducted, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (“Other Taxes”). To the extent available, each Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide reasonable prior notice before any such Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by Administrative Agent or each Lender, as the case may be, so that Borrower can seek to challenge the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would not require such Lender (or Transferee) to disclose any information such Lender (or Transferee) deems confidential and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(a) The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall establish by the Closing Date and maintain at the Borrower’s expense an interest-bearing account (the “Lockbox Account”) under Administrative Agent’s exclusive control with Cole Taylor Bank (the “Lockbox Bank”) to which all Cash Receipts to be received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deposited, and the Borrower shall direct (and hereby agrees to direct) each payor of any Cash Receipts now and in the future to make payments to either the Lock Box or directly to the Lockbox Account.

(b) On each Disbursement Date, Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall direct the Lockbox Bank to make the following payments from the Lockbox Account in the following order of priority and to the extent funds remain available:

(i) payment of any cash or Cash Equivalents representing proceeds of insurance policies with respect to any casualty to any of the Borrower’s Property (the “Casualty Proceeds”), to the Casualty Proceeds Account subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10;

(ii) payment of all fees, if any, owed to any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders then due and unpaid under Section 2.02;

(iv) payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any other amounts due (other than principal on the Loans) under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents; and

(v) payment of all principal then due under Section 2.04 or which is otherwise then due and payable.

In addition, on each date after the Disbursement Date and following receipt by the Lenders of the weekly Collateral Coverage Ratio Certificate at the end of the calendar week preceding such Disbursement Date, to the extent the Collateral Coverage Ratio exceeds the ratio set forth below for each corresponding period set forth below, the Borrower may request cash on deposit in the Lockbox Account to be disbursed to the Borrower or as the Borrower so directs to an account designated by the Borrower; provided, however, that such disbursement may only be made to the extent the Borrower complies with the Collateral Coverage Ratio after giving effect to such disbursement and if the Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than the ratio set forth below for each corresponding period set forth below, the collected cash balances shall solely be applied to the principal balance and accrued interest on the Loans until either (1) the Collateral Coverage Ratio is the ratio set forth below for each corresponding period set forth below or (2) all principal and interest on the Loans have been repaid. If the Borrower elects not to deliver a Collateral Coverage Ratio Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(f), the Borrower shall not receive any disbursements from the Lockbox Account until the Borrower delivers a Collateral Coverage Ratio Certificate and complies with the Collateral Coverage Ratio for each corresponding period set forth below.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, at its option, apply sums in the Lockbox Account to pay directly to the ultimate payee thereof some or all of the payments described in Section 2.08(b), as the Lenders elect, including advances or prepayment to third Persons of expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of Borrower’s operation of its Properties.

(d) Upon payment in full in cash of all Loans and other amounts due under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, all amounts remaining in the Lockbox Account shall be disbursed to the Borrower to the account designated by the Borrower (the “Operating Account”) in a written notice given by the Borrower to the Lenders from time to time, not later than 12:00 noon New York, New York time on a day which is two Business Days prior to the date such payment shall become due.

(a) rent a post office box in the name of the Administrative Agent (the “Lock Box”) relating to the Lockbox Account;

(b) have exclusive and unrestricted access, on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and collect the mail delivered to the Lock Box (even though addressed to the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries) on each business day in accordance with the Lockbox Bank’s regular collection schedule;

(c) open all items received in the Lock Box and process such items in accordance with the lock box processing procedures as set out in the deposit account control agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lockbox Bank;

(f) not terminate or close the Lockbox Account or terminate or close the Lock Box without giving the Administrative Agent at least five (5) business days prior written notice of its intention to do so.

Neither the Borrower, any of its Domestic Subsidiaries nor any other Person or entity, acting through or under Borrower, shall have any control over the use of, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Lock Box. At the written request of the Administrative Agent, with or without the consent of the Borrower, the Lockbox Bank will stop processing items deposited in the Lock Box and will send all such items unopened to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower authorizes the Lockbox Bank to and Lockbox Bank shall endorse checks and other payment instruments received at the Lock Box as provided in the processing procedures and to deposit such items on each business day into the Lockbox Account.

Section 2.10 Casualty Proceeds. All Casualty Proceeds are hereby assigned by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to collect any such payments, for deposit in an account at the Lockbox Bank controlled by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Proceeds Account”). In the event of any casualty, the Borrower shall deliver within 30 days, a written report from an engineering firm acceptable to the Lenders describing the nature of the casualty, the nature of any restoration required, and a good faith estimate of the cost of such restoration. If the Lenders in their reasonable discretion determine that the remediation is not in their best interests, given the cost of such restoration and the affect such restoration would have on the amount and timing of repayment of the Loans, then the Lenders may apply such Casualty Proceeds to the prepayment of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the Loans and the other Indebtedness, whether or not such Indebtedness is then due and payable. If the Lenders determine that such Casualty Proceeds shall be used for restoration, then the proceeds shall be disbursed from the Casualty Proceeds Account for such restoration in accordance with procedures reasonably determined by the Lenders consistent with construction loan funding principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lenders determine that the Casualty Proceeds shall be used for restoration and such Casualty Proceeds are less than $25,000, then such amount shall be disbursed from the Casualty Proceeds Account to the Borrower and the Borrower shall utilize such proceeds solely for restoration of such casualty.

The Lender serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its affiliates may lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any of their affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder

The Administrative Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans and other obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03. The Administrative Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance.

Section 9.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Note or any other Security Instrument shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Note or any other Security Instrument preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note; provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount that is at least $500,000 or a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to an affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account managed by such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender), and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, an document of assignment and acceptance, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account managed by such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender).

THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly in such state, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Laws of the State of New York).

Section 9.11 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Lenders shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to the Lenders notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to the Lenders that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Lenders under the Notes, this Agreement or under any of the other aforesaid Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be cancelled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by the Lenders on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Lenders to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to the Lenders may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically by the Lenders as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Lenders on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Lenders to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to the Lenders, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Lenders on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 8.11 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Lenders would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Lenders computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Lenders, then the amount of interest payable to the Lenders in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Lenders until the total amount of interest payable to the Lenders shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Lenders if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section.

Section 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR TO DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Section 9.13 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower, insofar as it is needed to comply with the Act, in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.14 Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose additional costs on the Loan Parties (other than as provided in Section 9.03(a)) and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not adversely affect the rights, or increase the obligations, of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans and (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization.

Lender:	INSTREAM CAPITAL LLC

Lender:	BERNARD NATIONAL LOAN INVESTORS, LTD.

	By: Name: Title:	/s/ David A. Proshan David A. Proshan Director

	Address:	745 5^th Avenue, 18^th Floor

Trinity Learning Corporation, a Utah corporation (the “Borrower”), with offices at , for value received, promises and agrees to pay on or before the Maturity Date, to the order of [ ] (the “Lender”) in New York, New York, in immediately available funds, the principal sum of and No/100 Dollars ($ .00) ( or such lesser amount as may be advanced or so much thereof as may be outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement hereinafter mentioned, as shown on the schedule attached hereto and any continuation of such schedule).

All capitalized terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement dated July 13, 2005, among the Borrower, Instream Investment Partners, LLC, as Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto (such Credit Agreement, together with all amendments or supplements thereto, being the “Credit Agreement”).

In addition to the principal sum referred to in the first paragraph of this Note, the Borrower also agrees to pay interest on all amounts hereof so advanced and remaining from time to time unpaid hereon from the date of advance until maturity at 12% per annum, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Past due principal and interest shall bear interest at 16% per annum, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

The Borrower will on the Closing Date prepay interest on the Loans made on the Closing Date for the period of three months commencing on the Closing Date. Thereafter, accrued interest will be due and payable monthly in arrears, the first such payment being due and payable on [ ], 2005, and the remaining payments being due and payable on the last day of each and every succeeding calendar month thereafter and at the Maturity Date.

All payments of interest shall be computed on the per annum basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the per annum basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

The Lender is hereby authorized to record its Loans and all payments and prepayments hereunder on account of principal and interest on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes and to provide continuations to such schedule as may be necessary. The failure of the Lender to record any such amounts shall not diminish or impair the Borrower’s obligation to repay all principal advanced and to pay all interest accruing under this Note.

Each payment and prepayment made by the Borrower under this Note shall be made in immediately available funds before 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date that such payment or prepayment is required to be made. Any payment or prepayment received and accepted by the Lender after such time shall be considered for all purposes (including the calculation of interest, to the extent permitted by law) as having been made on the Lender’s next following day.

If the date for any payment or prepayment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of this note the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payments of interest.

The Borrower and any and each co-maker, guarantor, accommodation party, endorser or other Person liable for the payment or collection of this Note expressly waive demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, bringing of suit, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and in the handling of Property at any time existing as security in connection herewith, and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder or in connection with any Lien at any time had or existing as security for any amount called for hereunder.

If default is made in the payment of this Note (whether of principal, interest or other amounts) when due (regardless of how the maturity of this Note may be brought about) and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is filed hereon, or proceedings are had in bankruptcy, probate, receivership, or other judicial proceedings for the establishment or collection of any amount called for hereunder, or any amount payable or to be payable hereunder is collected through any such proceedings, the Borrower agrees and is also to pay to the owner and holder of this Note the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder in connection therewith.

This Note is issued pursuant to and is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof on the occurrence of certain events specified therein and for all other pertinent purposes. It is contemplated that by reason of prepayment hereon there may be times when no Indebtedness is owing hereunder; but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Note shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to Loans made pursuant to the Credit Agreement subsequent to each occurrence.

The ownership of an interest in this Note shall be registered on a record of ownership maintained by Borrower or its agent. Notwithstanding anything else in this Note to the contrary, the right to the principal of, and stated interest on, this Note may be transferred only if the transfer is registered on such record of ownership and the transferee is identified as the owner of an interest in the obligation. Borrower shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of this Note (as recorded on such record of ownership) as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, this Note on the part of any other person or entity.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
