The Makers hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever.  The non-exercise by the holder of any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance.

 

All borrowings evidenced by this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and interest hereon and the respective dates thereof shall be endorsed by the holder hereof on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof, or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise recorded by such holder in its internal records; provided, however, that the failure of the holder hereof to make such a notation or any error in such a notation shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Makers to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note and the Credit Agreement.

 



 

The promises, undertakings and obligations of the Makers shall be joint and several, irrevocable and absolute.  Such promises, undertakings, and obligations, so long as any of the Makers shall have failed to perform any of its obligations, herein shall be enforceable against any or all of the Makers.

 

This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument.

 

This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Credit Agreement (and is secured by the Collateral referred to therein), which, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain events, for optional and mandatory prepayment of the principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof and for the amendment or waiver of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions therein specified.  This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note replaces the Revolving Credit Note issued to the Lender pursuant to the Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 29, 1999, among the Makers, the Guarantors named therein, the Lenders named therein and the Agent (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings of such terms assigned in the Credit Agreement.
