(collectively, the "Borrowers"), hereby promise to pay to the order of
BANKBOSTON, N.A. F/K/A THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking
association (the "Bank") at the Bank's head office at 100 Federal Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110:
(a) prior to or on the Maturity Date the principal amount of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000.00) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Bank to the
Borrowers pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September
12, 1996 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit

(b) the principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at the
times provided in the Credit Agreement; and
(c) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time
outstanding from the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement through and
including the maturity date hereof at the times and at the rate provided in
the Credit Agreement.
This Revolving Credit Note (this "Note") evidences borrowings under and has
been issued by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement. The Bank and any holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the
Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, and may
enforce the agreements of the Borrowers contained therein, and any holder hereof
may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available
in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All
capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.
This Note is given to the Bank in substitution of the Revolving Credit Note
dated September 12, 1996 delivered by the Borrowers to the Bank which was given
to the Bank and evidences Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Bank to the
Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and outstanding on the date hereof.
Nothing herein or in any other documents shall be construed to constitute
payment of such original note or to release or terminate the security interest
created by any Security Document in favor of the Bank in respect of the
Borrowers' obligations thereunder.

Each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to
be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan
or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal of this Note, an
appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of
such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, reflecting
the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of
such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on
the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other
similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Bank with respect
to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal
----- -----
amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any
error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other
record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and
interest on this Note when due.
The Borrowers have the right in certain circumstances and the obligation
under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal
of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may
become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in the Credit Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver
on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on
any further occasion.
Each of the Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the
obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and
all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension
or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR
CHOICE OF LAW). EACH OF THE BORROWERS AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT
OF THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE
-3-
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND THE
CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWERS BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS
SPECIFIED BY REFERENCE IN (S)11 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE BORROWERS
HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF
ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
COURT.
This Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
