1. Loan Agreement. This Revolving Note is delivered pursuant and subject to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and among the Borrower, the Bank and the other entities party thereto, as guarantors (the “Loan Agreement”). All terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Revolving Note, and reference is made to the Loan Agreement for, among other things, the security for this Revolving Note, Events of Default hereunder, and the Bank’s rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. This Revolving Note evidences the Borrower’s obligation to pay to the Bank TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made by the Bank pursuant to the Loan Agreement, together with interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Loan Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement unless otherwise expressly stated.
2. Interest.
(a) Rate of Interest; Computation. The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date such Base Rate Loan was made, converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan or continued, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), unless sooner converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum which shall equal the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Interest Rate Margin then applicable to Base Rate Loans. The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date such LIBOR Rate Loan was made, converted from a Base Rate Loan or continued, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), unless sooner converted to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum which shall equal the relevant LIBOR Rate plus the Interest Rate Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made based on the actual number of days elapsed over a year consisting of 360 days.
(b) Interest Payments. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable: (i) monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month beginning October 1, 2003; and (ii) on any prepayment of principal (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
(c) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without regard to whether the Bank has exercised any other rights or remedies hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of this Revolving Note,
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, interest accrued pursuant to this clause (c)) shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the following:
(i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus the Interest Rate Margin applicable thereto plus 2 1/2%; and
(ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the LIBOR Rate plus the Interest Rate Margin applicable thereto plus 5 1/2%.

(Eastern Standard Time) on the day when due.
6. Invalidity. If any provision of this Revolving Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Revolving Note shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
