or Revolving Loans to US Borrowers or a Foreign Borrower in such amount or
amounts as Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time

provided, however, that Borrowers shall not request any Alternate Currency Loan

its own name, on behalf of the Lenders, issue such Letters of Credit for the
account of a Credit Party, as Administrative Borrower may from time to time
request.  Administrative Borrower shall not request any Letter of Credit (and
the Fronting Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit) if,
after giving effect thereto, (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the
Letter of Credit Commitment, (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the
Total Commitment Amount, or (C) with respect to a request for a Letter of Credit
to be issued in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency Exposure would

Credit shall confer upon each Lender the benefits and liabilities of a
participation

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consisting of an undivided pro rata interest in the Letter of Credit to the
extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.

(ii)           Request for Letter of Credit.  Each request for a Letter of
Credit shall be delivered to Agent (and to the Fronting Lender, if the Fronting
Lender is a Lender other than Agent) by an Authorized Officer not later than
11:00 A.M. (Mountain time) three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
issuance of the Letter of Credit.  Each such request shall be in a form
acceptable to Agent (and the Fronting Lender, if the Fronting Lender is a Lender
other than Agent) and shall specify the face amount thereof, the account party,
the beneficiary, the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension, the expiry date thereof, the Alternate Currency if a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternate Currency is requested, and the nature of the
transaction or obligation to be supported thereby.  Concurrently with each such
request, Administrative Borrower, and any Credit Party for whose account the
Letter of Credit is to be issued (which may be a Borrower or a Guarantor of
Payment), shall execute and deliver to the Fronting Lender an appropriate
application and agreement, being in the standard form of the Fronting Lender for
such letters of credit, as amended to conform to the provisions of this
Agreement if required by Agent.  Agent shall give the Fronting Lender and each
Lender notice of each such request for a Letter of Credit.

(iii)          Letter of Credit Fees.  With respect to each Letter of Credit and
the drafts thereunder, if any, whether issued for the account of a Borrower or
any other Credit Party, US Borrowers agree (and each Foreign Borrower agrees to
pay, with respect to Letters of Credit issued for its own account) to (A) pay to
Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable commission
based upon the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which shall be paid
quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date, at the rate per
annum of the Applicable Margin (in effect on such Regularly Scheduled Payment
Date) multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit; (B) pay to Agent,
for the sole benefit of the Fronting Lender, an additional Letter of Credit fee,
which shall be paid on each date that such Letter of Credit shall be issued,
amended or renewed at the rate of one-eighth percent (1/8%) of the face amount
of such Letter of Credit; and (C) pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of the
Fronting Lender, such other issuance, amendment, negotiation, draw, acceptance,
telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are generally charged
by the Fronting Lender under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

(iv)          Refunding of Letters of Credit with Revolving Loans.  Whenever a
Letter of Credit shall be drawn, US Borrowers, and any Foreign Borrower for
whose account such Letter of Credit was issued, shall immediately reimburse the
Fronting Lender for the amount drawn.  In the event that the amount drawn is not
in an Alternate Currency and shall not have been reimbursed by such Borrowers,
as applicable, within one Business Day of the drawing of such Letter of Credit,
at the sole option of Agent (and the Fronting Lender, if the Fronting Lender is
a Lender other than Agent), such Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a
Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2(a) and 2.5 hereof
(other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof), in the amount
drawn.  Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(b)(iv) shall be absolute

Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Fronting
Lender, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset,
abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and
whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or
terminated.  Borrowers irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to apply the
proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2(iv) to reimburse, in full
(other than the Fronting Lender’s pro rata share of such borrowing), the
Fronting Lender for the amount drawn on such Letter of Credit.  Each such
Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested
by and available to Borrowers hereunder.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to
record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or if such Lender
has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving
Loans) such Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on
the Letters of Credit.

(v)           Participation in Letters of Credit.  If, for any reason, Agent
(and the Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent)
shall be unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it shall be impracticable to,
convert any Letter of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding
subsection or if the amount not reimbursed is a Letter of Credit drawn in an
Alternate Currency, Agent (and the Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a
Lender other than Agent) shall have the right to request that each Lender
purchase a participation in the amount due with respect to such Letter of
Credit, and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (by facsimile or
telephone, confirmed in writing).  Upon such notice, but without further action,
the Fronting Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Lender, and each Lender
hereby agrees to acquire from the Fronting Lender, an undivided participation
interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount due with
respect to such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon
receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the account of the
Fronting Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of the amount due with respect to
such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage).  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in the amount due under any Letter of Credit that is drawn but
not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (v) shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
Event of  Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and
whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or
terminated.  Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection
(v) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars (except in the

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

case of a Letter of Credit issued and drawn in an Alternate Currency, and, in
such case, in such Alternate Currency), in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.5 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans.  Each Lender is hereby
authorized to record on its records such Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts
paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.

Swing Line Commitment.  Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing

(ii)           Refunding of Swing Loans.  If the Swing Line Lender so elects, by
giving notice to Administrative Borrower and the Lenders, US Borrowers agree

require that any Swing Loan be refinanced as a Revolving Loan.  Such Revolving
Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to US
Borrowers hereunder.  Upon receipt of such notice by US Borrowers and the
Lenders, US Borrowers shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a
Revolving Loan in the principal amount of the Swing Loan in accordance with
Sections 2.2(a) and 2.5 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section
2.5(d) hereof).  Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit
Notes (or, if a Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records
of Agent and such Lender).  Each Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the
date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever.  Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that the obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(c)(ii) is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Swing
Line Lender, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any
offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever

such Swing Loan.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records
relating to its US Borrower Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender has not

telephone, confirmed in writing).  Upon such notice, but without further action,

Section 2.3.  Interest.

(a)           Revolving Loans.

(i)            Base Rate Loan.  The appropriate Borrower or Borrowers shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of a Base Rate Loan outstanding from
time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Base Rate from time to time
in effect.  Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing
November 30, 2007, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date
thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

(ii)           LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans.  The appropriate Borrower or Borrowers
shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan
outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (but subject to changes in the Applicable Margin), at the Derived LIBOR
Fixed Rate.  Interest on such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on each
Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an
Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must be paid every three
months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).

(b)           Swing Loans.  US Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the
sole benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that shall have purchased
a participation in such Swing

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan), on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Loan outstanding from time
to time from the date thereof until paid at the Base Rate from time to time in
effect.  Interest on each Swing Loan shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity
Date applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of
one day.

(c)           Default Rate.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if
an Event of Default shall occur hereunder and during the continuance thereof,
upon the election of the Required Lenders (i) the principal of each Loan and the
unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate,
(ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding
Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate
otherwise applicable thereto, and (iii) in the case of any other amount not paid
when due from Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount
shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, during an Event of
Default under Section 7.1 or 7.12 hereof, the applicable Default Rate shall
apply without any election or action on the part of Agent or any Lender.

(d)           Limitation on Interest.  In no event shall the rate of interest
hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowable by law.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If Agent or any
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower.  In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations, so long as the foregoing does not adversely affect a Borrower.

shall execute a US Borrower Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such
Lender in the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less,
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made by such Lender;
provided that the failure of a Lender to request a Revolving Credit Note shall
in no way detract from US Borrowers’ obligations to such Lender hereunder.

(b)           Foreign Borrower Revolving Loans.  Upon the request of a Lender,
to evidence the obligation of each Foreign Borrower to repay the Base Rate Loans
and LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender and to pay interest thereon each
Foreign Borrower Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such Lender in
the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made to such Foreign
Borrower by such Lender; provided that the failure of a Lender to request a
Foreign

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower Revolving Credit Note shall in no way detract from such Foreign
Borrower’s obligations to such Lender hereunder.

(c)           Swing Loan.  Upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, to
evidence the obligation of US Borrowers to repay the Swing Loans and to pay
interest thereon, US Borrowers shall execute a Swing Line Note, and payable to
the order of the Swing Line Lender in the principal amount of the Swing Line
Commitment, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Loans
made by the Swing Line Lender; provided that the failure of the Swing Line
Lender to request a Swing Line Note shall in no way detract from US Borrowers’
obligations to the Swing Line Lender hereunder.

Section 2.5.  Notice of Credit Event; Funding of Loans.

(a)           Notice of Credit Event.  Administrative Borrower, through an
Authorized Officer, shall provide to Agent a Notice of Loan prior to (i) 11:00
A.M. (Mountain time) on the proposed date of borrowing or conversion of any Base
Rate Loan, (ii) 11:00 A.M. (Mountain time) three Business Days prior to the
proposed date of borrowing, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Fixed Rate
Loan, and (iii) 2:00 P.M. (Mountain time) on the proposed date of borrowing of
any Swing Loan; provided, however, that an Authorized Officer of Administrative
Borrower may verbally request a Loan, so long as a Notice of Loan is received by
the end of the same Business Day, and, if Agent or any Lender provides funds or
initiates funding based upon such verbal request, Administrative Borrower shall
bear the risk with respect to any information regarding such funding that is
later determined to have been incorrect.  Borrowers shall comply with the notice
provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b) hereof with respect to Letters of Credit.

(b)           Funding of Loans.  Agent shall notify each Lender of the date,
amount, type of currency and Interest Period (if applicable) promptly upon the
receipt of a Notice of Loan, and, in any event, by 2:00 P.M. (Mountain time) on
the date such Notice of Loan is received.  On the date that the Credit Event set
forth in such Notice of Loan is to occur, each such Lender shall provide to
Agent, not later than 3:00 P.M. (Mountain time), the amount in Dollars, or, with
respect to an Alternate Currency, in the applicable Alternate Currency, in
federal or other immediately available funds, required of it.  If Agent shall
elect to advance the proceeds of such Loan prior to receiving funds from such
Lender, Agent shall have the right, upon prior notice to Administrative
Borrower, to debit any account of any US Borrower or otherwise receive such
amount from US Borrowers or the appropriate Foreign Borrower, promptly after
demand, in the event that such Lender shall fail to reimburse Agent in
accordance with this subsection.  Agent shall also have the right to receive
interest from such Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that
such Lender shall fail to provide its portion of the Loan on the date requested
and Agent shall elect to provide such funds.

(c)           Conversion of Loans.  At the request of Administrative Borrower to
Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Section 2.5, the
Lenders shall convert a Base Rate Loan to one or more Eurodollar Loans at any
time and shall convert a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on any Interest
Adjustment Date applicable thereto.  Swing Loans may be converted by the Swing
Line Lender to Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(ii)

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereof.  No Alternate Currency Loan may be converted to a Base Rate Loan or
Eurodollar Loan and no Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan may be converted to an
Alternate Currency Loan.

(d)           Minimum Amount.  Each request for:

(i)            a Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000);

(ii)           a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be in an amount (or, with respect
to an Alternate Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent (or, in the discretion of
Agent, such approximately comparable amount as shall result in a rounded
number)) of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), increased by
increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or, with respect to an Alternate
Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent (or, in the discretion of Agent, such
approximately comparable amount as shall result in a rounded number)); and

(iii)          a Swing Loan shall be in an amount of not less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

(e)           Interest Periods.  Borrowers shall not request that LIBOR Fixed
Rate Loans be outstanding for more than twelve (12) different Interest Periods
at the same time.

Section 2.6.  Payment on Loans and Other Obligations.

(a)           Payments Generally.  Each payment made hereunder by a Credit Party
shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(b)           Payments in Alternate Currency from Borrowers.  With respect to
any Alternate Currency Loan or any Letter of Credit payable in an Alternate
Currency, all payments (including prepayments) to any Lender of the principal of
or interest on such Alternate Currency Loan or Letter of Credit shall be made in
the same Alternate Currency as the original Loan or Letter of Credit.  All such
payments shall be remitted by Borrowers to Agent, at the address of Agent for
notices referred to in Section 10.4 hereof (or at such other office or account
as designated in writing by Agent to Administrative Borrower), for the account
of the Lenders (or the Fronting Lender, as appropriate) not later than 11:00
A.M. (Mountain time) on the due date thereof in same day funds.  Any such
payments received by Agent after 11:00 A.M. (Mountain time) shall be deemed to
have been made and received on the next Business Day.

(c)           Payments in Dollars from Borrowers.  With respect to (i) any Loan
(other than an Alternate Currency Loan), or (ii) any other payment to Agent and
the Lenders that shall not be covered by subsection (b) above, all such payments
(including prepayments) to Agent of the principal of or interest on such Loan or
other payment, including but not limited to principal, interest, fees or any
other amount owed by any Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made in
Dollars.  All payments described in this subsection (c) shall be remitted to
Agent, at the address of Agent for notices referred to in Section 10.4 hereof
for the account of the Lenders (or the

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fronting Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as appropriate) not later than 11:00
A.M. (Mountain time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. 
Any such payments received by Agent after 11:00 A.M. (Mountain time) shall be
deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.

(d)           Payments to Lenders from Agent.  Upon Agent’s receipt of payments
hereunder, Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender its (except with
respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender or, with
respect to Letters of Credit, certain of which payments shall be paid to the
Fronting Lender) their respective ratable shares, if any, of the amount of
principal, interest, and commitment and other fees received by Agent for the
account of such Lender.  Payments received by Agent in Dollars shall be
delivered to the Lenders in Dollars in immediately available funds.  Payments
received by Agent in any Alternate Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders in
such Alternate Currency in same day funds.  Each Lender shall record any
principal, interest or other payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans,
LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans, Swing Loans and Letters of Credit, the type of currency
for each Loan, all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest
Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and payments received by such Lender,
by such method as such Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that
failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of
Borrowers under this Agreement or any Note.  The aggregate unpaid amount of
Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to
the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of Agent shall be
rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the
amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to each Lender.

(e)           Timing of Payments.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder,
including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be
stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be
included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that,
with respect to a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in
the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding
Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 2.7.  Prepayment.

(a)           Right to Prepay.  Borrowers shall have the right at any time or
from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Lenders, all or
any part of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, as
designated by Borrowers.  Such payment shall include interest accrued on the
amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under
Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid.  Borrowers shall
have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of
the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that has purchased a participation in such
Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swing Loans then
outstanding, as designated by Borrowers, plus interest accrued on the amount so
prepaid to the date of such prepayment.  Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be
without any premium or penalty, other than any prepayment fees, penalties or
other charges that may be contained in any Hedge Agreement.

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)           Notice of Prepayment.  Administrative Borrower shall give Agent
notice of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan or Swing Loan by no later than 1:00
P.M. (Mountain time) one Business Day before the Business Day on which such
prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any LIBOR Fixed
Rate Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. (Mountain time) three Business Days before
the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made.

(c)           Minimum Amount.  Each prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall
be in the principal amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or
the principal amount of such Loan (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency
Loan, the Dollar Equivalent (rounded to a comparable amount) of such amount) or,
with respect to a Swing Loan, the principal balance of such Swing Loan, except
in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof or Article
III hereof.

Section 2.8.  Commitment and Other Fees.

(a)           Commitment Fee.  US Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable
account of the Lenders, as a consideration for the Commitment, a commitment fee
from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period,
payable quarterly, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Commitment
Fee Rate in effect on the payment date, multiplied by (ii) (A) the average daily
Total Commitment Amount in effect during such quarter, minus (B) the average
daily Revolving Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) during
such quarter.  The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears, on November 30,
2007 and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, and on
the last day of the Commitment Period.

(b)           Agent Fee.  US Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its sole benefit,
the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

Section 2.9.  Modifications to Commitment.

(a)           Optional Reduction of Commitment.  Borrowers may at any time and
from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Total
Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit
Exposure, by Administrative Borrower giving Agent not fewer than three Business
Days’ written notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction
shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000).  Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the date of each such
reduction and such Lender’s proportionate share thereof.  After each such
partial reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated
upon the Total Commitment Amount as so reduced.  If Borrowers reduce in whole
the Total Commitment Amount on the effective date of such reduction (the
appropriate Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if
any, of the Loans, together with all interest (if any) and commitment and other
fees accrued and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of
Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Notes shall be
delivered to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Notes to
Administrative Borrower.  Any partial reduction in the Total Commitment Amount
shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)           Increase in Commitment.  At any time during the Commitment
Increase Period, Administrative Borrower may request that Agent increase the
Total Commitment Amount from the Closing Commitment Amount up to an amount that
shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount by either, at the option of
Administrative Borrower, (i) increasing, for one or more Lenders, with their
prior written consent, their respective amounts of the Revolving Credit
Commitment, or (ii) including one or more Additional Lenders, acceptable to
Administrative Borrower, each with a new Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party
to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitment”); provided that the
existing Lenders shall be given the opportunity to provide the Additional
Commitments prior to the inclusion of any Additional Lenders.  During the
Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that Agent, in its sole
discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of
the following requirements: (A) each Additional Lender, if any, shall execute an
Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to each Lender a
revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment Percentages
for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to
the date of effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an “Additional
Lender Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) US Borrowers and, as appropriate,
each Foreign Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such
replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent. 
The Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption
Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.  On each Additional Lender Assumption
Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect
to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest,
commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall
be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders
such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to
otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this Section 2.9(b).  In
connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any
Lender will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to Section 2.9(a)
hereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender.  Borrowers shall not
request any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section
2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately
after giving effect to any such increase would exist.

Section 2.10.  Computation of Interest and Fees.  With the exception of Base
Rate Loans, interest on Loans and commitment and other fees and charges
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty
(360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.  With respect
to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having
three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as
the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.11.  Mandatory Payment.

(a)           Revolving Credit Exposure.  If, at any time, the Revolving Credit
Exposure shall exceed the Total Commitment Amount as then in effect, US
Borrowers (and the appropriate Foreign Borrowers) shall, as promptly as
practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate
principal amount of the Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure
within the Total Commitment Amount.

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)           Swing Line Exposure.  If, at any time, the Swing Line Exposure
shall exceed the Swing Line Commitment, US Borrowers shall, as promptly as
practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, prepay an
aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans sufficient to bring the Swing Line
Exposure within the Swing Line Commitment.

(c)           Application of Mandatory Payments.  Unless otherwise designated by
Borrowers, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a) hereof shall be applied
in the following order (i) first, on a pro rata basis for the Lenders, to
outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (ii) second, on a pro rata bases for the
Lenders, to outstanding LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans, provided that if the outstanding
principal amount of any LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be reduced to an amount less
than the minimum amount set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof as a result of such
prepayment, then such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate
Loan on the date of such prepayment.  Any prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to the prepayment provisions set
forth in Article III hereof.

Section 2.12.  Liability of Borrowers.

(a)           Joint and Several Liability.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes
Administrative Borrower to request Loans hereunder.  Each US Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that Agent and the Lenders are entering into this
Agreement at the request of each US Borrower and with the understanding that
each US Borrower is and shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, for
payment in full of the Obligations.  Each US Borrower agrees that it is
receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit for each Loan made or
Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(b)           Appointment of Administrative Borrower.  Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Administrative Borrower as the borrowing agent and
attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers,  which appointment shall remain in full
force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice
signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another
Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower.  Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Borrower to (i) provide Agent
with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the
benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this
Agreement, (ii) take such action as Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on
its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, and (iii) exercise such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement.

(c)           Maximum Liability of Each Borrower.  Anything in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
maximum liability of any Subsidiary Borrower exceed the maximum amount that
(after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any
rights to contribution of such Subsidiary Borrower from other Affiliates of such
Subsidiary Borrower) would not render the rights to payment of Agent and the
Lenders hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent
transfer law.

 (d)          Waivers of Each Borrower.  In the event that any obligation of any
Borrower under this Agreement is deemed to be an agreement by such Borrower to
answer for the debt or

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

default of another Credit Party or as a hypothecation of property as security
therefore, each Borrower represents and warrants that (i) no representation has
been made to such Borrower as to the creditworthiness of such other Credit
Party, and (ii) such Borrower has established adequate means of obtaining from
such other Credit Party on a continuing basis, financial or other information
pertaining to such other Credit Party’s financial condition.  Each Borrower
expressly waives, except as expressly required under this Agreement, diligence,
demand, presentment, protest and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever,
consents to the taking by Agent and the Lenders of any additional security, if
any, of another Credit Party for the obligations secured hereby, or the
alteration or release in any manner of any security, if any, of another Credit
Party now or hereafter held in connection with the Obligations, and consents
that Agent, the Lenders and any other Credit Party may deal with each other in
connection with such obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts now or
hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, including without
limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or changes in time for payment
of any such obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held. 
Agent and the Lenders are hereby expressly given the right, at their option, to
proceed in the enforcement of any of the Obligations independently of any other
remedy or security they may at any time hold in connection with such obligations
secured and it shall not be necessary for Agent and the Lenders to proceed upon
or against or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce
their rights against such Borrower.  Each Borrower further subordinates any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification,
setoff or other recourse in respect of sums paid to Agent and the Lenders by any
other Credit Party.

(e)           Liability of Foreign Borrowers.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Foreign Borrower shall at any time be liable for any
Indebtedness of a US Borrower under this Agreement (exclusive of Indebtedness of
such Foreign Borrower that is guaranteed by such US Borrower under this
Agreement).

Section 2.13.  Addition of Foreign Borrowers or Foreign Guarantors.

(a)           Addition of Foreign Borrower.  At the request of Administrative
Borrower (with at least seven days prior written notice to Agent and the
Lenders), a Foreign Subsidiary of IHS that shall not then be a Foreign Borrower
may become a Foreign Borrower hereunder, provided that all of the following
requirements shall have been met to the satisfaction of Agent:
(i) Administrative Borrower shall have provided to Agent a written request that
such Foreign Subsidiary be designated as a Foreign Borrower pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, which request shall specify the amount of Revolving
Loans and Letters of Credit requested to be made available to such Foreign
Subsidiary (the “Requested Availability”); (ii) Agent shall have approved the
amount of the Requested Availability or otherwise agreed with Administrative
Borrower as to the revised amount of availability, and, upon such approval or
reaching such agreement, Agent is hereby authorized to record such amount on
Schedule 4 hereto as the “Additional Foreign Borrower Maximum Amount” with
respect to such Foreign Subsidiary; (iii) such Foreign Subsidiary shall be a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of IHS; (iv) IHS and each Domestic Guarantor of Payment
shall have guaranteed the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary under this
Agreement pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty of Payment; (v) such Foreign
Subsidiary shall have executed a Foreign Borrower Assumption Agreement and
Foreign Borrower Revolving Credit Notes, and any other Foreign Subsidiary that
Agent and

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Borrower agree shall become a Foreign Guarantor of Payment with
respect to such Foreign Subsidiary, shall have executed a Guaranty of Payment
with respect to the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary (provided that there
shall be no adverse tax consequences or adverse legal impact); and (vi) IHS,
such Foreign Subsidiary that shall become a Foreign Borrower, and any such
Foreign Subsidiary that shall become a Foreign Guarantor of Payment, in each
case, shall have provided to Agent such corporate governance and authorization
documents and an opinion of counsel and any other items as may be deemed
necessary or advisable by Agent.

(b)           Addition of Foreign Guarantor of Payment.  At the request of
Administrative Borrower, a Foreign Subsidiary of IHS that shall not then be a
Foreign Guarantor of Payment may become a Foreign Guarantor of Payment
hereunder, provided that all of the following requirements shall have been met
to the satisfaction of Agent: (i) Administrative Borrower shall have provided to
Agent a written request that such Foreign Subsidiary be designated as a Foreign
Guarantor of Payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which request
shall specify the Requested Availability for such Foreign Subsidiary; (ii) Agent
shall have approved the amount of the Requested Availability or otherwise agreed
with Administrative Borrower as to the revised amount of availability, and, upon
such approval or reaching such agreement, Agent is hereby authorized to record
such amount on Schedule 4 hereto as the “Additional Foreign Guarantor Maximum
Amount” with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary; (iii) such Foreign Subsidiary
shall be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of IHS; (iv) such Foreign Subsidiary shall
have executed a Guaranty of Payment with respect to the obligations of one or
more Foreign Borrowers as may be required by Agent (provided that there shall be
no adverse tax consequences or adverse legal impact); and (v) such Foreign
Subsidiary that shall become a Foreign Guarantor of Payment shall have provided
to Agent such corporate governance and authorization documents and an opinion of
counsel and any other items as may be deemed necessary or advisable by Agent.

(c)           Additional Credit Party Bound by Provisions.  Upon satisfaction by
Administrative Borrower and any such Foreign Subsidiary of the requirements set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, Agent shall promptly notify
Administrative Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall
be designated a “Foreign Borrower” or “Foreign Guarantor of Payment”, as
applicable, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such
Foreign Subsidiary shall become bound by all representations, warranties,
covenants, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document applicable to the Foreign Borrowers or Foreign Guarantors of Payment,
as the case may be, as if such Foreign Borrower or Foreign Guarantor of Payment
had been the original party making such representations, warranties and
covenants.

(d)           Alternative Structures.  Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers agree
that if the addition of a Foreign Borrower or Foreign Guarantor of Payment
pursuant to this Section 2.13 would result in a requirement by such Foreign
Borrower or Foreign Guarantor of Payment to pay to any Lenders additional
amounts pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, then Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers
agree to use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or
otherwise propose an alternate structure that would avoid the need for, or
reduce the amount of, such additional amounts so long as the same would not, in
the judgment of Agent and the Lenders, be otherwise disadvantageous to Agent and
the Lenders.

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE III.  ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
LIBOR FIXED RATE LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES

Section 3.1.  Requirements of Law.

(a)           If, after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a
Governmental Authority, or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority:

(A)          shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan
made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in
respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes which are governed by
Section 3.2 hereof);

(B)           shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other
extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of
such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the
Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Currency Rate; or

(C)           shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans or
issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, US Borrowers
(and any Foreign Borrower to which such Loan was made) shall pay to such Lender,
promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this subsection (a), such Lender shall promptly notify
Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of the event by reason of which
it has become so entitled.

(b)           If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date,
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital
adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental
Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as
a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or in respect of any Letter
of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could
have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or corporation with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time, upon submission by such Lender to
Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of a written request therefor
(which shall include the method

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for calculating such amount), US Borrowers (and any Foreign Borrower to which
such Loan was made) shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c)           A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 3.1 submitted by any Lender to Administrative Borrower (with a copy
to Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In determining any such
additional amounts, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution
that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable.  The obligations of
Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.2.  Taxes.

(a)           All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of any Taxes or Other Taxes.  If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required
to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to
the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after deducting,
withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan
Documents.

(b)           Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and
paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such
taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.  In connection with payments
under the Loan Documents, as promptly as possible after the payment of such
amounts to the relevant Governmental Authorities, Administrative Borrower shall
send to Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as
the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by
such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment
reasonably acceptable to Agent or such Lender.  If such Credit Party shall fail
to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental
Authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, US Borrowers and such Credit Party shall indemnify Agent
and the Lenders on demand for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes paid or
payable by Agent or such Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c)           If any Lender shall be so indemnified by a Credit Party, such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the benefits of any refund,
deduction or credit for any taxes or other amounts with respect to the amount
paid by such Credit Party and shall reimburse such Credit Party to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such Lender shall receive a refund with respect to
the amount paid by such Credit Party or an effective net reduction in taxes or
other governmental charges (including any taxes imposed on or measured by the
total net income of such Lender) of the United States or any state or
subdivision or any other Governmental Authority thereof by virtue of any such
deduction or credit, after first giving effect to all other deductions and
credits otherwise available to such Lender.  If, at the time any audit of such
Lender’s income tax return is completed, such Lender determines, based on such
audit, that it shall not have been entitled to the full amount of any refund
reimbursed to such

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Credit Party as aforesaid or that its net income taxes shall not have been
reduced by a credit or deduction for the full amount reimbursed to such Credit
Party as aforesaid, such Credit Party, upon request of such Lender, shall
promptly pay to such Lender the amount so refunded to which such Lender shall
not have been so entitled, or the amount by which the net income taxes of such
Lender shall not have been so reduced, as the case may be.

(d)           Each Lender that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States of America, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any
jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) an estate or trust that is subject to federal
income taxation regardless of the source of its income (any such Person, a
“Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two copies
of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the
case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax
under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a statement with respect to such interest and a Form
W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption
from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by
Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms
shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document.  In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S.
Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower at
any time it determines that such Lender is no longer in a position to provide
any previously delivered certificate to Administrative Borrower (or any other
form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (e), a Non-U.S. Lender
shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (e) that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e)           The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination
of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

Section 3.3.  Funding Losses.  US Borrowers (and any appropriate Foreign
Borrower) agree to indemnify each Lender, promptly after receipt of a written
request therefor, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense
that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a
Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR
Fixed Rate Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in
making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans after such
Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan on a day
that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) any
conversion of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto.  Such indemnification
shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin
included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount
by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in
the appropriate London interbank market, along with any administration fee
charged by such Lender.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 3.3 submitted to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) by
any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The obligations of
Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.4.  Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate Lending Unlawful;
Inability to Determine Rate.

(a)           If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon
notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and Agent, be conclusive and binding
on Borrowers) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any
Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or
continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement)
any Loan into, a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make,
continue or convert any such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall, upon such
determination, be suspended until such Lender shall notify Agent that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBOR
Fixed Rate Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert (if
conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be
repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest
Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion.

(b)           If Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate
or Alternate Currency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate or Alternate
Currency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR
Fixed Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders
of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Administrative Borrower and
each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such
LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of
the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice,
Administrative Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of
a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.5.  Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled
to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of such Lender’s Loans in
any manner such Lender deems to be appropriate (including funding such Loans
through a foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender, so long as such funding
does not adversely affect the Companies); it being understood, however, that,
for the purposes of this Agreement, all determinations hereunder shall be made
as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan or
Alternate Currency Loan

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

during the applicable Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of
deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an
interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period.  Any funding of Loans by a Lender in
accordance with this Section 3.5 shall not affect the obligations of any
applicable Borrower to repay such Loans to such Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

Million Dollars ($50,000,000) at any time, shall execute and deliver to Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a Guaranty of Payment of the Obligations of such
Foreign Borrower in an amount equal to no less than the amount of Non-Credit
Party Exposure (to the extent not prohibited by law) with respect to such
Foreign Subsidiary, and Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent such
other supporting documentation, corporate governance and authorization
documents, and an opinion of counsel as may be deemed necessary or advisable by
Agent, provided that, if the execution and delivery of such Guaranty of Payment
under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction is impractical or cost prohibitive,
in the opinion of Agent, after consultation with Administrative Borrower, then
Agent may forego such Guaranty of Payment in such foreign jurisdiction.

(c)           Joint Venture Subsidiary Guaranties.  Anything in this Section

required to execute a Guaranty of Payment, provided that (i) no Joint Venture

all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in
all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or
operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment
of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted
for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or
has held any interest in real property or otherwise.  Except as disclosed on
Schedule 6.8 hereto, no material litigation or proceeding arising under,
relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law is pending or, to the
best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real
property in which any Company holds or has held an interest or any past or
present operation of any Company.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.8 hereto,
no material release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid
waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are
currently being remediated in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or
to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of
its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in this Section
6.8, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in
equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought
by any Governmental Authority or private Person, or otherwise.

Section 6.9.  Continued Business.  There exists no actual, pending, or, to each
Borrower’s knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of,
or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and
any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers of any Company,
that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.10.  Employee Benefits Plans.  Schedule 6.10 hereto identifies each
ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date covering employees of a Company.  No ERISA
Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan.  Full
payment has been made of all amounts that a Controlled Group member is required,
under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have paid as a
contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan.  The liability of each
Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been funded to the
extent required by law, based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions,
has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial
statements.  With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified
under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust
operationally comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements
of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been
amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than
those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the
“remedial

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under
Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may
rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA
Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies
under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred
arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the
ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial
amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies
the requirements of Code Section 410(b), subject to any retroactive amendment
that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e)
no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code
Section 4972.  With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit
obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as
determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87,
“Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not, in any material way, exceed the
fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

Section 6.11.  Consents or Approvals.  No consent, approval or authorization of,
or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in

the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that such
Borrower has incurred to Agent and the Lenders.  No US Borrower is insolvent as
defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will
any US Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents to Agent and the Lenders.  No US Borrower is engaged or about to
engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or
will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the
obligations to Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder.  No US Borrower intends
to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature.

(b)           Foreign Borrowers.  Each Foreign Borrower has received
consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and
liabilities that such Foreign Borrower has incurred to the Lenders.  No Foreign
Borrower is insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant
foreign statute, nor will such Foreign Borrower be rendered insolvent by the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Lenders.  No
Foreign Borrower has liabilities, including contingent liabilities, greater than
its assets.  No Foreign Borrower intends to, nor does  it believe that it will,
incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 6.13.  Financial Statements.  The audited Consolidated financial
statements of IHS for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006 and the unaudited
Consolidated financial statements of IHS for the fiscal quarter ended May 31,
2007 furnished to Agent and the Lenders, are true and complete, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP (except with respect to the absence of
footnotes), and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies included
in the consolidation as of the dates of such financial statements and the
results of their operations for the periods then ending.  Since the dates of
such statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition, properties or business of the Companies taken as a whole or, except
as described in such financial statements, any change in the accounting
procedures of the Companies.

Section 6.14.  Regulations.  No Company is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reserve System of the United States of America). Neither the granting of any
Loan (or any conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds
of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be inconsistent with, the
provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other Regulation of such Board of
Governors.

hereto, as of the Closing Date, no Company is a party to any (a) debt instrument
(excluding the Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise),
whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or
other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or the
license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other
arrangement with any of its “Affiliates” (as such term is defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) other than a Company; (e)
management or employment contract or contract for personal services with any of
its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety
(90) days’ notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g)
other contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party
that, as to subsections (a) through (g), above, if violated, breached, or
terminated for any reason, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.16.  Intellectual Property.  Each Company owns or has the right to use
all of the material patents, patent applications, industrial designs, designs,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to
the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business without any known
conflict with the rights of others.

Section 6.17.  Insurance.  Each Company maintains with financially sound and
reputable insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and as
is customary with Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. 
Schedule 6.17 hereto sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the
Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

Section 6.18.  Accurate and Complete Statements.  Neither the Loan Documents nor
any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan
Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents
not misleading.  After due inquiry by Borrowers, there is no known fact that any
Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Lenders that has or is likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.19.  Investment Company.  No Company is an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

from time to time, or other applicable statute for jurisdictions outside of the
United States, as the case may be, (e) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy,
or file a proposal or notice of intention to file a proposal or have an
involuntary proceeding filed against it and the same shall continue undismissed
for a period of sixty (60) days from commencement of such proceeding or case, or
file a petition or an answer or an application or a proposal seeking
reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or seeking to take advantage of
any other law (whether federal, provincial or state, or, if applicable, other
jurisdiction) relating to relief of debtors, or admit (by answer, by default or
otherwise) the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other proceeding (whether federal,
provincial or state, or, if applicable, other jurisdiction) relating to relief
of debtors, (f) suffer or permit to continue unstayed and in effect for thirty
(30) consecutive days any judgment, decree or order entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction, that approves a petition or an application or a proposal
seeking its reorganization or appoints an interim receiver, a receiver and
manager, an administrator, custodian, trustee, interim trustee or liquidator of
all or a substantial part of its assets, or of such Company, (g) have an
administrative receiver appointed over the whole or substantially the whole of
its assets, or (h) have a moratorium declared in respect of any of its
Indebtedness, or any analogous procedure or step is taken in any jurisdiction;
provided that, if, under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States
(or a state thereof), a Company is in violation of subparts (c), (f) or (g) of
this Section 7.12 (and is not in violation of any other

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

subpart of this Section 7.12), and such violation is solely as a result of a
liquidation of such Company that is otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement, then such violation shall not constitute an Event of Default. 

ARTICLE VIII.  REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere:

Section 8.1.  Optional Defaults.  If any Event of Default referred to in Section
7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 or 7.11 hereof shall occur,
Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, at the written
request of the Required Lenders, give written notice to Borrowers to:

(a)           terminate the Commitment, if not previously terminated, and,
immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each
thereof, to make any further Loan and the obligation of the Fronting Lender to
issue any Letter of Credit immediately shall be terminated; and/or

(b)           accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the
Obligations are not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations
shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any
presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by each Borrower.

Section 8.2.  Automatic Defaults.  If any Event of Default referred to in
Section 7.12 hereof shall occur:

(a)           all of the Commitment shall automatically and immediately
terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under
any obligation to grant any further Loan, nor shall the Fronting Lender be
obligated to issue any Letter of Credit; and

(b)           the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the
Loans, and all of the other Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter
be immediately due and payable in full (if the Obligations are not already due
and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which
are hereby waived by each Borrower.

Section 8.3.  Letters of Credit.  If the maturity of the Obligations shall be
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, US Borrowers shall
immediately deposit with Agent, as security for the obligations of US Borrowers
and any Domestic Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for any
then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to the sum of the aggregate
undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit.  Agent and the
Lenders are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such
amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender (or any affiliate of
such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of any US
Borrower or Domestic Guarantor of Payment, as security for the obligations of US
Borrowers and any Domestic Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Agent and the
Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 8.4.  Offsets.  If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default
referred to in Section 7.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, each Lender shall have the
right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the
payment of, any and all of the Obligations then owing by a Borrower or Guarantor
of Payment to such Lender (including, without limitation, any participation
purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.2(c) or 8.5 hereof),
whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or
special) balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by such Lender
(including, without limitation, by branches and agencies or any affiliate of
such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of such Borrower
or Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon such Borrower or
any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by
each Borrower.

Section 8.5.  Equalization Provision.  Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders
that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders or
any thereof in respect of the Obligations (except as to Swing Loans and Letters
of Credit prior to Agent’s giving of notice to participate and except under
Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at
par, such additional participation in the Obligations as shall be necessary to
nullify the Advantage.  If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an
additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part
from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded,
and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender
receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the
Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably to the extent of the
recovery.  Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any
time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of any Borrower on any
Indebtedness owing by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by reason of offset of any
deposit or other indebtedness, by counterclaim or cross-action, by the
enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise) it will apply
such payment first to any and all Obligations owing by such Borrower to that
Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be
purchased pursuant to this Section 8.5 or any other Section of this Agreement). 
Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the
other Lenders or any thereof pursuant to this Section 8.5 may exercise all of
its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit
Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 8.6.  Other Remedies.  The remedies in this Article VIII are in addition
to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either
in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lenders may be entitled.  Agent
shall exercise the rights under this Article VIII and all other collection
efforts on behalf of the Lenders and no Lender shall act independently with
respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE IX
GUARANTY

Section 9.1.  The Guaranty.  US Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally,
guarantee to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the prompt payment in full
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to any Foreign
Borrower and all other amounts from time to time owing to Agent or the Lenders
by any Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document (such
obligations being herein collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed
Obligations”).  US Borrowers hereby further agree that, if any Foreign Borrower
shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, US Borrowers will promptly pay
the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that, in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal.

Section 9.2.  Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of US Borrowers under
Section 9.1 above are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value,
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any
Foreign Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section 9.2 that the obligations of US Borrowers hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the
following shall not alter or impair the liability of US Borrowers hereunder,
which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a)           at any time or from time to time, without notice to any US
Borrower, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance
shall be waived;

(b)           any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done
or omitted;

(c)           the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified,
supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any
other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived, or any other
guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any security therefor, shall
be released or exchanged in whole or in part, or otherwise dealt with;

(d)           any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, as security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)           any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any event affecting
any term of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Each US Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Agent or
any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Foreign
Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein, or against any other Person under any other guaranty of, or security
for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.3.  Reinstatement.  The obligations of each US Borrower under this
Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that, for any
reason, any payment by or on behalf of any Foreign Borrower in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each US Borrower agrees that it
will indemnify Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by Agent or such Lender in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 9.4.  Subrogation.  Each US Borrower hereby agrees that, until the
payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the
expiration and termination of the Commitment, it shall not exercise any right or
remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guaranty in Section 9.1
hereof, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Foreign Borrower or any
guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.5.  Remedies.  Each US Borrower agrees that the obligations of any
Foreign Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and
payable as provided in Article VIII hereof (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII
hereof) for purposes of Section 9.1 hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from
becoming automatically due and payable) as against such Foreign Borrower, and
that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have
become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and
payable by such Foreign Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by US
Borrowers for purposes of Section 9.1 hereof.

Section 9.6.  Instrument for the Payment of Money.  US Borrowers hereby
acknowledge that the guaranty in this Article IX constitutes an instrument for
the payment of money only.

Section 9.7.  Continuing Guaranty.  The guaranty in this Article IX is a
continuing guaranty, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever
arising.

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 9.8.  Payments.  All payments by US Borrowers under this Article IX
shall be made in the same currency as originally owed by the applicable Foreign
Borrowers, and free and clear of any Taxes.

ARTICLE X.  THE AGENT

The Lenders authorize KeyBank and KeyBank hereby agrees to act as agent for the
Lenders in respect of this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, and upon the following terms and conditions:

Section 10.1.  Appointment and Authorization.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers hereunder as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Neither Agent
nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, attorneys or employees shall (a)
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or
in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), or be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness,
enforceability, genuineness, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents, (b) be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or
to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions hereof or thereof on the part of Borrowers or any other Company, or
the financial condition of Borrowers or any other Company, or (c) be liable to
any of the Companies for consequential damages resulting from any breach of
contract, tort or other wrong in connection with the negotiation, documentation,
administration or collection of the Loans or Letters of Credit or any of the
Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or
be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against Agent.   Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan
Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or
other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties.

Section 10.2.  Note Holders.  Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof (or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected
on the books and records of Agent) until written notice of transfer shall have
been filed with Agent, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Agent.

Section 10.3.  Consultation With Counsel.  Agent may consult with legal counsel
selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in
good faith by Agent in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 10.4.  Documents.  Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or
pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Document
or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and Agent shall be entitled
to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport
to be.

Section 10.5.  Agent and Affiliates.  KeyBank and its affiliates may make loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Companies and
Affiliates as though KeyBank were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or
consent of any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such
activities, KeyBank or its affiliates may receive information regarding any
Company or any Affiliate (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and
acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to other Lenders.  With respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (if any), KeyBank
and its affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though KeyBank were not Agent, and
the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include KeyBank and its affiliates, to the
extent applicable, in their individual capacities. 

Section 10.6.  Knowledge of Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless
Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that Agent receives such a
notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
Lenders); provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such
directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the
interests of the holders of the Obligations.

Section 10.7.  Action by Agent.  Subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, so long as Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, to
assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by,
or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that
it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur
no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice,
certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine
or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to
anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its
judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises. 
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent’s acting or refraining from acting
hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 10.8.  Notice of Default.  In the event that Agent shall have acquired
actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify
the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under this
Agreement as the Required Lenders shall direct

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and Agent shall inform the other Lenders in writing of the action taken.  Agent
may take such action and assert such rights as it deems to be advisable, in its
discretion, for the protection of the interests of the holders of the
Obligations.

Section 10.9.  Delegation of Duties.  Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other
consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.10.  Release of Guarantor of Payment.  In the event of a transfer of
assets permitted by Section 5.12 hereof (or otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement), Agent, at the request and expense of Borrower, is hereby authorized
by the Lenders to release a Guarantor of Payment in connection with such
permitted transfer.

Section 10.11.  Indemnification of Agent.  The Lenders agree to indemnify Agent
(to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) ratably, according to their
respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent with
respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and expenses) or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or from
any action taken or omitted by Agent in any capacity other than as agent under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  No action taken in accordance with
the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.11.  The
undertaking in this Section 10.11 shall survive repayment of the Loans,
cancellation of the Notes, if any, expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit, termination of the Commitment, any foreclosure under, or modification,
release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the agent.

Section 10.12.  Successor Agent.  Agent may resign as agent hereunder by giving
not fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Borrower
and the Lenders.  If Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a)
the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for
the Lenders (with the consent of Administrative Borrower so long as an Event of
Default has not occurred and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the
thirty (30) day period following Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its
resignation, then Agent shall appoint a successor agent that shall serve as
agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent.  If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty
(30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the
Lenders shall assume and

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  Upon its
appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
as agent, and the term “Agent” means such successor effective upon its
appointment, and the former agent’s rights, powers and duties as agent shall be
terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s
resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.13.  Fronting Lender.  The Fronting Lender shall act on behalf of the
Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Lender and
the documents associated therewith.  The Fronting Lender shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (a) provided to Agent in Article IX hereof with respect
to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Fronting Lender in connection
with the Letters of Credit and the applications and agreements for letters of
credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent”, as
used in Article IX hereof, included the Fronting Lender with respect to such
acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with
respect to the Fronting Lender.

Section 10.14.  Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of
the Lenders with respect to any Swing Loans.  The Swing Line Lender shall have
all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to Agent in Article IX hereof
with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in
connection with the Swing Loans as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in
Article IX hereof, included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to
the Swing Line Lender.

Section 10.15.  Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit
Party, (a) Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are
owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders and Agent) allowed in such judicial proceedings, and
(ii) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; and (b) any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such
payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent.  Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

Section 10.16.  No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.  Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its
affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such
Lender’s or its affiliate’s, participant’s or asignee’s customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the
Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or
any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with Borrowers, their respective
Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder:  (a) any
identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons
with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures
required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

Section 10.17.  Other Agents.  Agent shall have the continuing right from time
to time to designate one or more Lenders (or its or their affiliates as
“syndication agent”, “documentation agent”, “book runner”, “lead arranger”,
“arrangers”, or other designations for purposes hereof, but (a) any such
designation shall have no substantive effect, and (b) any such Lender and its
affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a
result thereof.

ARTICLE XI.  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1.  Lenders’ Independent Investigation.  Each Lender, by its
signature to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that Agent has made no
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or
with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished
in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between
Agent and such Lender.  Each Lender represents that it has made and shall
continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness,
financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the
extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that Agent has no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such
notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Lenders
hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the first Credit Event
hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.  Each Lender further represents
that it has reviewed each of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.2.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No omission or course of dealing
on the part of Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note (or, if there is no
Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent)
in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder
or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and in addition to any other

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rights, powers or privileges held under any Loan Documents or by operation of
law, by contract or otherwise.

Section 11.3.  Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  No amendment, modification,
termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any
variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unanimous consent of
the Lenders shall be required with respect to (a) any increase in the Commitment
hereunder (except as specified in Section 2.9(b) hereof), (b) the extension of
(i) the maturity of the Loans, (ii) the payment date of interest or any
scheduled principal payment, or (iii) the date of payment of commitment or fees
payable hereunder, (c) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Loans
(provided that the institution of the Default Rate and a subsequent removal of
the Default Rate shall not constitute a decrease in interest rate pursuant to
this Section 11.3), or in any amount of interest or scheduled principal due on
any Loan, or the payment of commitment fees hereunder; (d) any change in the
manner of pro rata application of any payments made by Borrowers to the Lenders
hereunder, (e) any change in any percentage voting requirement, voting rights,
or the Required Lenders definition in this Agreement, (f) the release of any
Borrower or Guarantor of Payment, except as specifically permitted hereunder, or
(g) any amendment to this Section 11.3 or Section 8.5 hereof.  Notice of
amendments or consents ratified by Lenders hereunder shall be forwarded by Agent
to all of the Lenders.  Each Lender or other holder of a Note (or interest in
any Loan) shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as
authorized by this Section 11.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto.

Section 11.4.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Borrower, mailed or
delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages
of this Agreement (including a courtesy notice to Stephen Green, Esq., mailed or
delivered to him, addressed to him at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 840,
New York, New York 10019, provided that a failure to give such courtesy notice
shall have no legal effect hereunder), if to a Lender, mailed or delivered to
it, addressed to the address of such Lender specified on the signature pages of
this Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties.  All
notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be given by overnight delivery or first class mail with postage
prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by
facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt (and confirmation copy by mail
or overnight delivery), except that all notices hereunder shall not be effective
until received.

Section 11.5.  Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  US Borrowers agree to pay on demand
all costs and expenses of Agent, including but not limited to (a) reasonable
syndication, administration, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, including but
not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and the
administration of the Loan Documents, the collection and disbursement of all
funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered
hereunder, (b) extraordinary expenses of Agent in connection with the
administration of the Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents to
be delivered hereunder, and (c) the reasonable fees

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for Agent, with respect to the
foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special
counsel with respect thereto.  US Borrowers also agree to pay on demand all
costs and expenses of Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, in connection with the restructuring or enforcement of the
Obligations, this Agreement or any Related Writing.  In addition, US Borrowers
and any other appropriate Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, transfer,
documentary and other taxes, assessments, charges and fees payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder,
and agree to hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to
pay such taxes or fees.  All obligations provided for in this Section 11.5 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.6.  Indemnification.  Each US Borrower, and each Foreign Borrower to
the extent relating to the Loans and other credit extensions to such Foreign
Borrower, agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Lenders
(and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and 
employees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Lender in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not such Lender or Agent shall be designated a party thereto) or any
other claim by any Person relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any
actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Obligations, or
any activities of any Company or its Affiliates; provided that no Lender nor
Agent shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section 11.6 for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.  All obligations provided for in this Section 11.6 shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.7.  Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations.  The obligations
of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this
Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be
deemed to constitute Agent or the Lenders a partnership, association, joint
venture or other entity. No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the
other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have
or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default.  The
relationship between Borrowers and the Lenders with respect to the Loan
Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtors and
creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any
fiduciary obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents
or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 11.8.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts
and by facsimile signature, each of which counterparts when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 11.9.  Binding Effect; Borrowers’ Assignment.  This Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower, Agent and
each Lender and

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower,
Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns,
except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the
Lenders.

Section 11.10.  Lender Assignments.

(a)           Assignments of Commitments.  Each Lender shall have the right at
any time or times to assign to an Eligible Transferee (other than to a Lender
that shall not be in compliance with this Agreement), without recourse, all or a
percentage of all of the following: (i) such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) all Loans
made by that Lender, (iii) such Lender’s Notes, and (iv) such Lender’s interest
in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, and any participation purchased pursuant
to Section 2.2(b) or (c) or 8.5 hereof.

(b)           Prior Consent.  No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this
Section 11.10 without the prior written consent of Administrative Borrower and
Agent (other than an assignment by any Lender to any affiliate of such Lender
which affiliate is an Eligible Transferee and either wholly-owned by a Lender or
is wholly-owned by a Person that wholly owns, either directly or indirectly,
such Lender, or to another Lender), which consent of Administrative Borrower and
Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the consent of
Administrative Borrower shall not be required if, at the time of the proposed
assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then exist.  Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time make a collateral
assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Lender
from its obligations hereunder.

(c)           Minimum Amount.  Each such assignment shall be in a minimum amount
of the lesser of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the assignor’s Commitment
and interest herein, or the entire amount of the assignor’s Commitment and
interest herein.

(d)           Assignment Fee.  Unless the assignment shall be to an affiliate of
the assignor or the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or for
regulatory purposes, either the assignor or the assignee shall remit to Agent,
for its own account, an administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($3,500).

(e)           Assignment Agreement.  Unless the assignment shall be due to
merger of the assignor or a collateral assignment for regulatory purposes, the
assignor shall (i) cause the assignee to execute and deliver to Administrative
Borrower and Agent an Assignment Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver, or
cause the assignee to execute and deliver, as the case may be, to Agent such
additional amendments, assurances and other writings as Agent may reasonably
require.

(f)            Non-U.S. Assignee.  If the assignment is to be made to an
assignee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States or any state thereof, the assignor Lender shall cause such
assignee, at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such
assignment, (i) to represent to the assignor Lender (for the benefit of the
assignor Lender,

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent and Borrowers) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be
required to be withheld by Agent, Borrowers or the assignor with respect to any
payments to be made to such assignee in respect of the Loans hereunder, (ii) to
furnish to the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in
the Register (as defined below), Agent and Borrowers) either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as
applicable (wherein such assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from
U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for
the benefit of the assignor, Agent and Borrowers) to provide to the assignor
Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register, to Agent
and Borrowers) a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable
statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and
amendments duly executed and completed by such assignee, and to comply from time
to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such
withholding tax exemption.

(g)           Deliveries by Borrowers.  Upon satisfaction of all applicable
requirements specified in subsections (a) through (f) above, Borrowers shall
execute and deliver (i) to Agent, the assignor and the assignee, any consent or
release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the assignor) required to be
delivered by Borrowers in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to
the assignee, if requested, and the assignor, if applicable, an appropriate Note
or Notes.  After delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignor’s Note or
Notes, if any, being replaced shall be returned to Administrative Borrower
marked “replaced”.

(h)           Effect of Assignment.  Upon satisfaction of all applicable
requirements set forth in subsections (a) through (g) above, and any other
condition contained in this Section 11.10, (i) the assignee shall become and
thereafter be deemed to be a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, (ii)
the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent that
its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignor’s entire
interest has been assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall
no longer be deemed to be a “Lender” and (iv) the signature pages hereto and
Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended, without further action, to
reflect the result of any such assignment.

(i)            Agent to Maintain Register.  Agent shall maintain at the address
for notices referred to in Section 11.4 hereof a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrowers,
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

Section 11.11.  Sale of Participations.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course
of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees (each a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

limitation, all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans and participations
owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it); provided that:

(a)           any such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;

(b)           such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(c)           the parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

(d)           such Participant shall be bound by the provisions of Section 8.5
hereof, and the Lender selling such participation shall obtain from such
Participant a written confirmation of its agreement to be so bound; and

(e)           no Participant (unless such Participant is itself a Lender) shall
be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking action under
this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may
agree with such Participant that such Lender will not, without such
Participant’s consent, take action of the type described as follows:

(i)            increase the portion of the participation amount of any
Participant over the amount thereof then in effect, or extend the Commitment
Period, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby; or

(ii)           reduce the principal amount of or extend the time for any payment
of principal of any Loan, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time for
payment of interest on any Loan, or reduce the commitment fee, without the
written consent of each Participant affected thereby.

Borrowers agree that any Lender that sells participations pursuant to this
Section 11.11 shall still be entitled to the benefits of Article III hereof,
notwithstanding any such transfer; provided, however, that the obligations of
Borrowers shall not increase as a result of such transfer and Borrowers shall
have no obligation to any Participant.

Section 11.12.  Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not
on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that, pursuant
to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender and Agent are required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which
information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other
information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.  Administrative Borrower
shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take
such actions as are reasonably requested by Agent or a Lender in order to assist
Agent or such Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.13.  Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments.  Any
provision of this Agreement that shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to sections and subsections
herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting
the provisions of this Agreement.  Each schedule or exhibit attached to this
Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 11.14.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan
Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed
on or as of the Closing Date integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned
herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and
negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.15.  Legal Representation of Parties.  The Loan Documents were
negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule
of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not
apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 11.16.  Currency.

(a)           Currency Equivalent Generally.  For the purposes of making
valuations or computations under this Agreement (but not for the purposes of the
preparation of any financial statements delivered pursuant hereto), unless
expressly provided otherwise, where a reference is made to a dollar amount the
amount is to be considered as the amount in Dollars and, therefor, each other
currency shall be converted into the Dollar Equivalent.

(b)           Judgment Currency.  If Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a
judgment or judgments against any Credit Party in an Alternate Currency, the
obligations of such Credit Party in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to
Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall
be discharged only to the extent that, on the next Business Day following
receipt by Agent of the Judgment Amount in such Alternate Currency, Agent, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, purchases Dollars with the Judgment
Amount in such Alternate Currency.  If the amount of Dollars so purchased is
less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment
Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the
Judgment Amount that has accrued as a result of the failure of such Credit Party
to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was
originally due and owing to Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes)
was originally due and owing to Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the
Notes (the “Original Due Date”) (the “Loss”), such Credit Party agrees as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars
so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with
the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, Agent or such Lender agrees to
remit such excess to such Credit Party.

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.17.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)           Governing Law.  This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related
Writing (except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document executed by a
Foreign Subsidiary) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of
Borrowers, Agent, and the Lenders shall be governed by Ohio law, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws.

(b)           Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court
sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the Obligations or any Related Writing (except as
otherwise set forth in any Loan Document executed by a Foreign Subsidiary), and
each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal
court.  Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any
such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such
action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM
NON CONVENIENS or otherwise.  Each Borrower agrees that a final, nonappealable
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.

Section 11.18.  JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH
BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN
RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG
BORROWERS, AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED THERETO.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Credit
Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
