  42. The interest due on the Loan shall be payable as provided in Section 3 below.

    1. Interest and Principal Payments; Maturity Date.

  1. Conversions to LIBOR Tranches. By notifying Bank at least two (2) London Business Days prior to an Effective Date, Borrower may convert into a LIBOR Tranche all or any all or any part of any Prime Rate Tranche at any time in a minimum principal amount of $200,000.00. At the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, the LIBOR Tranche will convert to a Prime Rate Tranche unless Borrower notifies Bank at least (2) London Business Bays before the end of the existing LIBOR Interest Period that Borrower is electing to continue all or any part of the Tranche as a LIBOR Tranche and is selecting a new LIBOR Interest Period.

  3. Principal Repayment. Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other sums then outstanding hereunder or under the Loan Documents on October 31, 2001 (the "Maturity Date").

  4. Operating Account. Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain an operating account with Bank at all times during which any portion of the Loan remains outstanding (the "Operating Account"). Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge the Operating Account for all payments hereunder as they become due. Borrower agrees to keep in the Operating Account sufficient amount to make such payments as and when they come due. Bank's failure to so charge the Operating Account in order to satisfy Borrower's payment obligations hereunder shall not relieve Borrower's obligations to make all such payments. In the event that Borrower shall fail to maintain a sufficient balance in the Operating Account to satisfy a payment obligation on the date such payment becomes due, Borrower shall continue to be obligated to make such payment and, if such payment is not made by Borrower in some other manner on or before the date such payment becomes due, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. All payments received by Bank from Borrower shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the payment of fees and other costs and expenses then due and owing from Borrower, (ii) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due, (iii) to the payment of any outstanding principal hereunder.

  5. Interest Calculation. Both before and after any default, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year but charged on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in any calender year or part thereof.

    1. Prepayments.

    1. Borrower may repay the Prime Rate Tranches in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in a minimum amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).

  1. Borrower may, at any time, prepay the principal balance of a LIBOR Rate Tranche in whole or in part; provided, however, that Borrower shall indemnify Bank against Bank's loss or expense in employing deposits as a consequence of any prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Tranche on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period ("Indemnified Loss or Expense"). The amount of such Indemnified Loss or Expense shall be determined by Bank based upon the assumption that Bank funded 100% of such LIBOR Rate Tranche in the London interbank market. Any prepayment shall include accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and all other sums due and payable hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to alter or affect any obligations that Borrower may have to Bank under any interest rate swap agreements. Borrower agrees to pay the Indemnified Loss or Expense upon any prepayment of the LIBOR Tranche, whether voluntary, required by Bank in connection with any acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or as otherwise required under this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note. A determination of Bank as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4(B) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

    1. Late Charges. If any installment of principal or interest or both hereunder or other payment required to made by Borrower under the other Loan Documents is not paid within ten (10) days after becoming due, Borrower shall pay to Bank on demand a late charge of five percent (5%) of such overdue amount to reimburse Bank for the additional expenses to be incurred as a result of such delinquency, but such late payment fee shall not obligate Bank to accept any overdue payment hereunder nor limit the rights and remedies available to Bank as a result of Borrower's default, as hereinafter provided. The amount of any such late charge not paid promptly following demand shall be deemed outstanding and payable pursuant to this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note.

    2. Event of Default. An Event of Default shall mean and Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement.

    3. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder (the "Contract Rate") shall increase immediately and without notice and thereafter shall be payable at a rate of three (3%) per annum in excess of the Contract Rate (said higher rate is hereinafter called the "Default Rate"), until the Event of Default has been cured, or in the event the principal of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note has been accelerated, until this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note is paid in full, including the period following entry of any judgment on or relating to this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note or the other Loan Documents. Interest on any such judgment shall accrue and be payable at the Default Rate, and not at the statutory rate of interest, after judgment, any execution thereon, and until actual receipt by the holder of payment in full of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note and said judgment. Interest at the Default Rate shall be collectible as part of any judgment hereunder and shall be secured by the other Loan Documents.

    4. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall be entitled to exercise all remedies available to it under the terms of the Loan Agreement.

    5. Accounts. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that while the Loan is outstanding it will maintain all of its primary operating accounts with the Bank.

  1. Waivers by Borrower, Cumulative Remedies.

    1. Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand , notice of non-payment, notice of protest and protest of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note. The Borrower hereby consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by the Bank with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note, and agrees that additional obligors may become parties hereto without notice to the Borrower without affecting the Borrower's liability hereunder.

    2. Borrower hereby waives-the benefit of any laws which now or hereinafter might otherwise authorize the stay of any execution to be issued on any judgment covered on this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS FOURTH REPLACEMENT NOTE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

    3. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Bank shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege that the Bank would otherwise have. No notice to, or demand on, the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances would constitute a waiver of the right of the Bank to any other or further action and any circumstances without notice or demand.

    1. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, to pay all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in order to enforce any remedy available to the Bank under this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note, the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document.

  1. Reimbursement to Bank for Increased Costs Due to Capital Adequacy Requirements. If after the date hereof any change in law or regulation or the interpretation thereof by any court of administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, applicable from time to time now or after the date hereof to Banks in general, shall (A) impose, modify, deem applicable or result in the application of any capital maintenance, capital ratio or similar requirements against loan commitments or other facilities made by Bank and the result thereof shall be to impose upon Bank a fee or a requirement to increase any capital requirements applicable as a result of the making or maintenance of the Loan (which imposition of or increase in capital requirements may be determined by Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such capital impositions or increases), or (B) subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan, the Fourth Replacement Revolver Note, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest on the Loan or any other amounts due under this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note, in respect to of the Loan (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed by any jurisdiction in which Bank is obligated to pay taxes), then, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank from time to time as specified by Bank, such additional amounts or fees which shall be sufficient to compensate Bank for such impositions of or increases in capital requirements or taxes from the date of such change, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Default Rate with respect to amounts or fees not paid when due. Upon the occurrence of any event referred to above, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts necessary to compensate Bank as a result of an imposition of or increase in capital requirements or taxes submitted by Bank to Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error or bad faith, as to the amount thereof.

  2. Special Provisions of LIBOR Tranches.

    1. Unavailability of Funds and Indeterminate Interest Rates. If on or before the date Bank is to make any LIBOR Tranche or on or before any Effective Date (1) Bank determines in good faith that it is unable to obtain funds at the LIBOR Rate for the elected Interest Period for any reason, including, but not limited to the unavailability of funds at such rate, any change in existing law, any new law, the length of such Interest Period, or otherwise or (2) Bank determines in good faith that no adequate means exists to determine the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, then, at Bank's option, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Tranche or shall be required to elect an Interest Period of a length for which Bank may obtain funds at the LIBOR Rate.

    2. Changes Affecting Ability to Maintain Funds. If, during any Interest Period, any change in existing law, any new law, or any other factor beyond the control of Bank prevents Bank in its good faith determination from maintaining funds at the rate of adjustment of which determines the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period and requires Bank to cease so maintaining funds actually so maintained prior to termination of such Interest Period, then on the date of such required cessation, Borrower shall be required to specify a different Interest Rate for such Interest Period or, in the alternative, to elect an Interest Period of a length for which Bank may maintain funds at the rate the adjustment of which determines the LIBOR Rate. In addition, within five (5) days after Bank notifies Borrower of such required conversion, Borrower shall reimburse Bank for any loss or expense Bank has certified in writing to Borrower that Bank has incurred as a result of any such required cessation.

  1. Interest Limitation; Severability

    1. Nothing herein contained nor any transaction related hereto shall be construed or shall operate either presently or prospectively to require Borrower to pay interest at a rate greater than is now lawful in such case to contract for, but shall require payment of interest only to the extent of such lawful rate. Any interest paid in excess of the lawful rate shall be refunded to Borrower. Such refund shall be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder, in which event any applicable prepayment premium shall be waived with respect to the amount so prepaid, and shall be applied in such order as Bank may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding hereunder, the portion exceeding the said sums outstanding hereunder shall be refunded in cash by Bank. Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal amount (except payments specifically stated herein to be "interest"), including, without limitation, late charges, shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee or indemnity rather than interest.

    2. In the event that for any reason one or more of the provisions of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note or their application to any person or circumstance shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provisions shall, to such extent, be held for naught as though not herein contained but shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. In addition, any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note, but this Fourth Replacement Revolver Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
