         The Debt evidenced by this Swingline Note is senior in right of payment
to all Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, the Senior Subordinated
Notes) referred to in the Credit Agreement.

         The Borrower hereby waives all requirements as to diligence,

         This Swingline Note is given in modification, replacement and
restatement of the Original Swingline Note, but not in repayment or
extinguishment of the unpaid indebtedness evidenced by the Original Swingline
Note, and all indebtedness formerly evidenced by said Original Swingline Note
and unpaid on the date hereof shall now be evidenced by this Swingline Note, and
as of the date hereof, said Original Swingline Note shall no longer evidence
said outstanding indebtedness. This Swingline Note shall not be considered to be
a novation of said Original Swingline Note as this Swingline Note evidences the
same indebtedness.
