(the “Bank”) at its office at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154-1002  for the account of the lending office of the Bank, the principal amount of each loan made by the Bank to the Borrower (the “Loans”), up to an aggregate principal amount equal to the Maximum Facility Amount, on the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Final Maturity Date”).

The Revolving Credit Promissory Note (Libor/Prime) dated as of December 23, 2006, as amended, by the Borrower to the order of the Bank (the “Original Note”) is amended and restated in its entirety by this Note.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Interest Payment Date on the unpaid balance of the principal amount of each such Loan from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date of its repayment at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate applicable to such Loan plus 1.25% (such Loan a “Prime Loan”), or (ii) a fixed rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Libor Rate applicable to such Loan plus 1.25% (such Loan a “Libor Loan”).  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, principal shall bear interest from and including the date of such Event of Default until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, such interest to be payable on demand.  Interest shall be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Date and for Libor Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed and for Prime Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  Prior to the Final Maturity Date, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the terms of this Note, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Note, up to the aggregate principal amount equal to the Maximum Facility Amount (the “Commitment”).

All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.  Any extension of time for the payment of the principal of this Note resulting from the due date falling on a non-Banking Day shall be included in the computation of interest.  The date, amount, type and Interest Period of, and the interest rate with respect to, each Loan evidenced hereby and all payments of principal thereof shall be recorded by the Bank on its books and, at the discretion of the Bank prior to any transfer of this Note at any other time, may be endorsed by the Bank on a schedule.  Any such endorsement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

4.           Unavailability, Inadequacy or Illegality of Libor Rate.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that:
(a)           quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for a Libor Loan; or
(b)           the definition of Libor Rate does not adequately cover the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining a Libor Loan; or
(c)           as a result of any Regulatory Change (or any change in the interpretation thereof) adopted after the date hereof, the Main Office of the Bank or the lending office is subject to any taxes, reserves, limitations, or other charges, requirements or restrictions on any claims of such office on non-United States residents (including, without limitation, claims on non-United States offices or affiliates of the Bank) or in respect of the excess above a specified level of such claims; or
(d)           it is unlawful for the Bank or the lending office to maintain any Libor Loan at the Libor Rate;

THEN, the Bank shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, any existing Libor Loan shall bear interest as a Prime Loan and the Bank shall make no Libor Loans.

5.           Certain Compensation.  If for any reason there is a principal payment of a Libor Loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto (whether by prepayment, acceleration, conversion or otherwise), the Borrower will pay to the Bank such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Bank) to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense which the Bank determines is attributable to such payment.

(a)  the Facility Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the applicability of general principles of equity;
