         exceeding,  an aggregate principal sum at any time outstanding equal to
         $40,000,000.00 (the 'Total Commitment');  within such limits and during
         such period,  the Borrower may borrow,  repay, and re-borrow  hereunder
         (the 'Line of  Credit').  All loans  under the Line of Credit  shall be

         Revolving Credit Note (the 'Revolving Note'), substantially in form and

         and bearing  interest upon the terms provided  therein (but in no event
         to exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate permitted by law). The

         payable as set forth on the face of the Revolving Note. Notation by the

                  Note,  if any,  shall be  deemed to be made  pursuant  to this
                  Agreement, and accordingly,  shall be subject to the terms and
                  provisions  hereof,  and the Borrower  shall be deemed to have

                  Credit  may  also  be made to  fund  Documentary  or  Stand-by
                  Letters of Credit  (as  hereinafter  defined)  that are issued
                  under the  Revolving  Note and are drawn upon,  provided,  the
                  Bank may, in its own discretion,  advance funds under the Line
                  of Credit to fund such  Documentary  or  Stand-by  Letters  of
                  Credit (as  hereinafter  defined)  when the Borrower  does not
                  reimburse the Bank for such funding.  All such advances  shall
                  be added to the principal amount of the Revolving Note."

         fees for  issuance  of  letters  of credit  existing  as of the time of

         connection  with the issuance of the JDB Letter of Credit.  Immediately
         upon issuance, such Documentary and Stand-by Letters of Credit shall be
         considered in computing the amount of funds  available to the Borrower,
         as provided in Section 6 herein.  The Bank shall not be obligated:  (x)
         to issue  Documentary or Stand-by  Letters of Credit if the issuance of
         same would cause the Outstanding  Revolving  Credit to exceed the Total
         Commitment; (y) to issue such Letters of Credit with an expiration date
         more than one hundred  eighty (180) days after the maturity date of the

         to time at the request of the Borrower, issue foreign currency exchange
         contracts to Borrower for use by Borrower in the ordinary course of its
         business.  Immediately upon issuance,  such foreign  currency  exchange
         contracts  shall  be  considered  in  computing  the  amount  of  funds
         available to the  Borrower,  as provided in Section 6 hereof.  The Bank
         shall not be obligated: (a) to issue any such foreign currency exchange
         contract  if the  issuance  of the same  would  cause  the  Outstanding
         Revolving  Credit to  exceed  the  Total  Commitment,  (b) to issue any
         foreign  currency  exchange  contract with a settlement  date after the
         maturity date of the  Revolving  Note, or (c) to issue any such foreign

         contract  and  all  other  contracts  then  outstanding   would  exceed
