Revolving Credit (including such Lender's ratable share of the Loans previously

Each loan made under the Revolving Credit provided for in the Credit

the interest rate and Interest Period applicable thereto shall be endorsed by
the holder hereof on a schedule to this Note or recorded on the books and

schedule to this Note prior to any negotiation hereof). The Company agrees that
in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or enforce collection of this

unpaid principal balance of this Note, the status of each such loan from time to
time as part of the Domestic Rate Portion or a LIBOR Portion, and, in the case
of any LIBOR Portion, the interest rate and Interest Period applicable thereto.
This Note is issued by the Company under the terms and provisions of the
