Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b)           To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline
Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested
date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline
Loan.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any
such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general
deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a
Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c)           The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving
Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender,
specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges
and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans
pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever; provided that no Lender shall be required to acquire a
participation in any Swingline Loan to the extent that doing so would cause the
Revolving Exposure of such Lender to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. 
Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent
shall notify

35

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

the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to
this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall
be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on
behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the
Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be
promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided
that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to
the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve
the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION  2.05.  Letters of Credit.  (a)  General.  Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit for its own account or the account of any Subsidiary, in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing
Bank, on the Initial Closing Date and at any time and from time to time during
the Revolving Availability Period.  In the event of any inconsistency between
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any
form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to
any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b)           Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to
the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance
of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c)
of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request
for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or
extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each
Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that),
after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC
Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures
shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c)           Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior
to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date
of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof (including any automatic renewal pursuant to an evergreen
feature), one year after the most recent such renewal or extension) and (ii) the
date that is five days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

(d)           Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of an Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank
hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby
acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal
to such Lender’s

36

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

Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)
of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the
Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that no
Lender shall be required to acquire a participation in any Letter of Credit to
the extent that doing so would cause the Revolving Exposure of such Lender to
exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(e)           Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such
LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date,
then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that
the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that
(whether or not the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied or a Default
exists) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have the
absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed with
an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the
extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline
Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the
payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage
of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank
the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a
Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any
LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline
Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve
the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)            Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented

37

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

under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect,
(iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of
such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None
of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their
Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment
or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of
such Issuing Bank; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.05(f) shall
not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties
hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised
care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

(g)           Disbursement Procedures.  An Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. The applicable Issuing
Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such
Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that
any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)           Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is
made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse an Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent
of such payment.

(i)            Replacement of an Issuing Bank.  An Issuing Bank may be replaced
at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced Issuing Bank and the

38

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

successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of
any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall
become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references
herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any predecessor Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all predecessor
Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an
Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to
such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.

(j)            Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default under clauses
(a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall occur and be continuing or if the
Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII as a result of any other
Event of Default, on or before the third Business Day (subject to the proviso
below) after the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated,
Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC
Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph,
the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the
name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount
in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon;

provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this
paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit
under this Section or Section 2.11(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement, and the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all funds and investments
from time to time in such account, and in the proceeds thereof, to secure the
Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be
made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default
shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the
Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on
such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC
Exposure  representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower
is required to provide an amount of cash collateral under this Section 2.05(j)
as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower within three Business Days after the applicable Events of Default have
been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent
that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in
compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

39

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

(k)           Additional Issuing Banks.  From time to time, the Borrower may by
notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to three Lenders (in addition to
JPMCB and LCPI or any of their respective Affiliates) to act as Issuing Banks;
provided (i) each agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity
pursuant to a written instrument satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, (ii) each is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent as an Issuing Bank and (iii) at the time of designation and for all
periods such Lender acts as an Issuing Bank such Lender has a Revolving
Commitment hereunder.

(l)            Reporting.  Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of
any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than
the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the
Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing
Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of
the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and
outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and the applicable
Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised such Issuing Bank that
such issuance, amendment renewal or extension would not be in conformity with
the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such
Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the
amount of such LC Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other
information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but
not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by
the Administrative Agent.

SECTION  2.06.  Funding of Borrowings.  (a)  Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.

40

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

SECTION  2.07.  Interest Elections.  (a)  Each Revolving Borrowing and Tranche C
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)           To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.

(c)           Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)            the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in
which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv)
below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)           the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)          whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)          if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)           Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)           If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding

41

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

Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii)
unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing
at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION  2.08.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a) Unless previously
terminated, (i) the Tranche C Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall
terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b)           The Borrower may at any time, without premium or penalty,
terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance
with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the total
Revolving Commitments.

(c)           The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election
to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied.

(d)           [Reserved].

(e)           Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be
permanent.  Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably
among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments.

SECTION  2.09.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such
Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche C Term
Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of
the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made
that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business
Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a
Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that
were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

(b)           Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof
and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from

42

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

the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof.

(d)           The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)           Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
Such promissory note shall state that it is subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest
thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04)
be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order
of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to
such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION  2.10.  Amortization of Term Loans.  (a)  Subject to adjustment pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay Tranche C Term
Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set

Tranche C Maturity Date

801,950,000

 

 

43

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

(b)           [Reserved].

(c)           To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche C Term Loans shall
be due and payable on the Tranche C Maturity Date.

(d)           Any mandatory prepayment of a Tranche C Term Borrowing shall be
applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche C Term
Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section first, in direct order of the
first eight scheduled payments to become due under Section 2.10(a) following the
date of such prepayment, and thereafter, ratably to the remaining scheduled
payments under such section.  Any optional prepayment of the Tranche C Term
Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by the
Borrower.

(e)           Prior to any repayment of any Tranche C Term Borrowings hereunder,
the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall
notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment.  Each repayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. 
Repayments of Tranche C Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest
on the amount repaid.

SECTION  2.11.  Prepayment of Loans.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (including accrued and
unpaid interest thereon) in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other
than any Applicable Premium, and in any case, subject to Section 2.16), in an
aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $2,000,000 (or $500,000 or more, in the case of Swingline Loans) or,
if less, the amount outstanding, subject to the requirements of this Section;
provided, that in connection with, and as a condition to any voluntary
prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans on or prior to the first anniversary of
the Effective Date pursuant to (i) a refinancing of all or part of the Tranche C
Term Loans with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or
incurrence of new term loans pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any amendment to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (any such amendment, a “Repricing”)
(in each case, other than a refinancing of all of the Term Loans in connection
with a transaction not permitted by this Agreement), and in each case, the
Applicable Rate (or similar interest spread) for such Type of Loan is, or upon
the satisfaction of certain conditions, could be less than the Applicable Rate
(or similar interest spread) for such Type of Loan on the Effective Date, the
Borrower shall pay to the Tranche C Term Lenders, in addition to the amount of
such prepayment and any other amounts then due on the date of such refinancing
or Repricing, the Applicable Premium.

(b)           In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the Revolving
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay
Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are
outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c)           (i) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect
of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower

44

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

shall, not later than the Business Day next after the date on which such Net
Proceeds are received, prepay Tranche C Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount
equal to the Required Percentage of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in the
case of any Asset Disposition described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition
of the term Asset Disposition, if the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the
Borrower or a Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a
portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 15 months after receipt
of such Net Proceeds, to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade
or repair assets (other than Equity Interests) to be used in the business of the
Borrower or such Subsidiaries or to fund a Permitted Acquisition in accordance
with the terms of Section 6.04, and certifying that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to
this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the
portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable)
except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so
applied by the end of such 15-month period or contractually committed by the end
of such 15-month period to be so applied within 21 months after receipt of such
Net Proceeds, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to
such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied or committed (and if any portion
of Net Proceeds contractually committed to be applied within such 15-month
period are not so applied within such period, a prepayment shall be required in
an amount equal to such portion on the last day of such period); provided,
further, that in the case of any Asset Disposition, if on a Pro Forma Basis, the
Net Secured Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, the Borrower
may retain the Net Proceeds from such Asset Disposition, and no prepayment shall
be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds, to the
extent that the amount of Net Proceeds retained by the Borrower pursuant to this
proviso shall not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this
Agreement (any such retained amount, the “Retained Asset Disposition
Proceeds”).  For purposes hereof, “Required Percentage” shall mean: (i) in the
case of an Asset Disposition, 100%; (ii) in the case of a Debt Issuance, (A) if
on the date of the relevant issuance, the Total Leverage Ratio, calculated on a
Pro Forma Basis, is greater than 4.50 to 1.00, 100% or (B) if on the date of the
relevant issuance, Total Leverage Ratio, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, is
less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, but greater than 3.00 to 1.00, 50% or (C) if
on the date of the relevant issuance, Total Leverage Ratio, calculated on a Pro
Forma Basis, is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, 0% (it being understood that
a portion of such Net Proceeds from a Debt Issuance may be applied so as to
reduce such Total Leverage Ratio to the next lower level referred to above, and
that the Required Percentage for the remainder of such Net Proceeds shall be
based on such next lower level).

(ii)           If, within 15 months after the receipt of Net Proceeds from the
Directories Sale, all or any portion of such Net Proceeds have not been applied
to repay Indebtedness, the Borrower shall, not later than the Business Day next
after the date that is 15 months from the date on which such Net Proceeds were
received, prepay Tranche C Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 100%
of such Net Proceeds not so previously applied.

(d)           Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, beginning
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Borrower will prepay (without
duplication of any amount prepaid from the Net Proceeds of any Asset Disposition
pursuant to clause (c) above) Tranche C Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount
equal to (i) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year minus (ii) to the
extent that such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness,
the aggregate amount of voluntary prepayments of Tranche C Term Loans and
Revolving Loans (but only, in the case of payments in respect of Revolving
Loans, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently
reduced by the amount of such payments) made pursuant to this Section 2.11
during such fiscal year; provided, that no such prepayment shall be required in
respect of any such fiscal year if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 5.00 to
1.00.  Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made

45

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

on or before the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being
calculated (and in any event within 105 days after the end of such fiscal year).

(e)           Prior to any optional or, subject to Sections 2.11(c) and (d),
mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the
notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the
event of any mandatory prepayment of Tranche C Term Borrowings, any Tranche C
Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed
by telecopy) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline
all or any portion of any prepayment of its Tranche C Term Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.11 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a)
of this Section, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount
of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Tranche C Term Loans
but was so declined may be retained by the Borrower.

(f)            The Borrower shall notify the Administrative  Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR  Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof
to be prepaid, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment, and, in the case of a voluntary
prepayment of Tranche C Term Borrowings, the application thereof to the
remaining scheduled repayments of such Borrowings; provided that, if a notice of
optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then
such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.  Promptly following receipt of any such
notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a
mandatory prepayment or to prepay such Borrowing in full. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest and other
amounts to the extent required by Sections 2.13 and 2.16.

SECTION  2.12.  Fees.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender)
a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused
amount of each Revolving Commitment (including the Incremental Revolving Loan
Availability after and to the extent the Borrower requests the use of such
Incremental Revolving Loan Availability, effective starting on the date such
Incremental Loan is available for borrowing by the Borrower) of such Lender
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate.  Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the dates on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 
All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with
respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be
deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding

46

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

Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of
such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b)           The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) an incremental
loan availability fee (the “Incremental Loan Availability Fee”), which shall
accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate amount of the Incremental
Revolving Loan Availability during the period from and including the Effective
Date until the date the Incremental Loan Availability Fee is paid.  The
Incremental Loan Availability Fee shall be payable on the earlier of (i) the
date of the Borrower’s written notice to the Arrangers of the exercise of its
right to incur additional Revolving Loans pursuant to the Incremental Revolving
Loan Availability, (ii) the date on which the Borrower notifies the Arrangers of
its intent to cancel the Incremental Revolving Loan Availability in full and
(iii) the first anniversary of the Effective Date.  The Incremental Loan
Availability Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). For purposes of computing the Incremental Loan
Availability Fee with respect to each Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall multiply the total amount of Incremental Loan Availability Fee actually
received by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

(c)           The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a
participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which
shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate from time to time in effect for
purposes of determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving
Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from
and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure; provided, that such participation fee shall be
reduced by the amount of any fronting fee paid to any Issuing Bank pursuant to
clause (ii) below in respect of such Letters of Credit, and (ii) to the
applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum, on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure,
as well as such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees
accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the third Business Day
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on
which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the
date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. 
Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be
payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

(d)           The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents and the Arrangers, for
their own respective accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agents and/or the Arrangers,
as the case may be, including but not limited to all fees specified in the Fee
Letter.

(e)           All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable
Issuing Bank, in the case of fees

47

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

payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be
refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION  2.13.  Interest.  (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)           The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d)           Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

(e)           All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION  2.14.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)           the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)           the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included
in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar

48

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

Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided, however,
that, in the case of a notice received pursuant to clause (b) above, if the
Administrative Agent is able prior to the commencement of such Interest Period
to ascertain, after using reasonable efforts to poll the Lenders giving such
notice, that a rate other than the Alternate Base Rate would adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans
included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower of such alternate rate and the Borrower may agree by
written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the commencement of such
Interest Period to increase the Applicable Rate for the Loans included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period to result in an interest rate equal to such
alternate rate, in which case such increased Applicable Rate shall apply to all
the Eurodollar Loans included in the relevant Borrowing.

SECTION  2.15.  Increased Costs.  (a) If any Change in Law (except with respect
to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17) shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in
the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or

(ii)           impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing
Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower
will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)           If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level
below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time after submission by such Lender to the Borrower of a
written request therefor, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for
any such reduction suffered.

(c)           A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth in
reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this Section 2.15 and
the calculation of such claim by such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding
company, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

49

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

(d)           Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

SECTION  2.16.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b)
the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section
2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or
Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each
Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  Such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall consist of an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at
the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement
of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the Eurodollar market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION  2.17.  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

(b)           In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)           The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to
any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable

50

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

to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered
to the Borrower by any Lender or Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be presumed
correct, provided that upon reasonable request of the Borrower, a Lender shall
provide all relevant information reasonably accessible to it justifying such
amount.

(d)           As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

(e)           A Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Foreign 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 to the effect that such Lender
is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by
such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S.
federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender
on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement.

(f)            If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Issuing Bank determines,
in its reasonable judgment, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it
shall pay over such refund to the Borrower within a reasonable period of time
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid,
by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing
Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This
Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person.

SECTION  2.18.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  (a)
 The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or
reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or
under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim.  Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments
to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or to the Swingline Lender

51

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

as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15,
2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received
by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b)           If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)           If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the relative aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued
interest on their Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

(d)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the

52

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

Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.

(e)           If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

SECTION  2.19.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.  The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)           If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is
being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and such Lender shall
be released from all obligations hereunder.  A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section
2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against
a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender in respect of actions taken or not taken by
such Lender prior to its replacement hereunder.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that,
except as disclosed on the disclosure schedules hereto, (the representations and
warranties made on the Effective Date are deemed made concurrently with the
consummation of the Transactions):

53

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

SECTION  3.01.  Organization; Powers.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required.

SECTION  3.02.  Authorization; Enforceability.  The Transactions and each Loan
Document entered into and to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such
Loan Party’s corporate or limited liability company powers, as applicable, and
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability
company and, if required, stockholder action.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by each of Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes, and
each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed
and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Holdings, the Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law,
and implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

SECTION  3.03.  Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.  The Transactions, the
borrowings hereunder and the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not: (a)
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other
action by, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except such as have
been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except (i) filings
necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents and (ii) the

binding upon Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except Liens permitted under Section 6.02; except, in the case of
clauses (a), (b) and (c), where the failure to obtain such consent or approval
or make such registration, filing or action or any such violation or default
would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in
a Material Adverse Effect or have a material adverse effect upon the validity or
enforceability of the Loan Documents or the rights of the Lenders thereunder.

SECTION  3.04.  Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.  (a)  The
Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the combined balance sheet and
statements of income, and cash flows of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, December

the time of presentation, all such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash

such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end adjustment and
the absence of footnotes in the case of quarterly financial statements.

54

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

(b)           The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its pro forma
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, prepared giving effect to the
Transactions as if such Transactions had occurred on such date.  Such pro forma
consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good faith based on the same
assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements included in the
Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by Holdings and the
Borrower to have been reasonable at the time made) and (ii) presents fairly, in
all material respects, the pro forma financial position of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date, as if the Transactions had occurred
on such date.

(c)           Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above
or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum and except for the
Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of Holdings,
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the Effective Date, any contingent
liabilities or unusual long-term commitments that, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)           Since December 31, 2006, there has been no material adverse change
in the business, operations or financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and
their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION  3.05.  Properties.  (a)  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real
and personal property material to its business (including its Mortgaged
Properties), except for defects in title that do not interfere with its ability
to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for
their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title or
interests would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)           Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is
licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by Holdings,
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except, in each case, for any matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

(c)           Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real property that is
owned by, and each material property that is leased by, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date after giving effect to the
Transactions and indicates each parcel of real property owned in fee that is a
Mortgaged Property as of the Effective Date.

SECTION  3.06.  Litigation and Environmental Matters.  (a)  There are no
actions, suits, proceedings or investigations by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries (i) which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed
Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(b)           Except for either the Disclosed Matters or any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain,
maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii)
has received written

55

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

notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of
any facts or circumstances which are reasonably likely to form the basis for any
Environmental Liability.

SECTION  3.07.  Compliance with Laws.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and their
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority (including the Communications Act, the regulations of
HPUC, and any orders of the FCC or HPUC) applicable to it or its property,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION  3.08.  Licenses; Tariffs.  (a)  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries hold
all FCC Licenses that are necessary for the operation of their businesses as
currently conducted, except to the extent that failures to hold any such FCC
Licenses, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each such FCC License is in full force and
effect and such FCC Licenses are not subject to any material restriction or
material conditions that limit the operation of the businesses of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, other than restrictions or conditions generally applicable
to licenses of that type.

(b)           Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries hold all permits,
licenses, waivers, orders, approvals, concessions, registrations and other
authorizations issued or provided by any Governmental Authority (other than the
FCC), including HPUC, under all applicable laws, that are material to and
necessary for Holdings, the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries to own its
assets and conduct the businesses currently conducted by it (“Operating
Licenses”), except to the extent that failures to hold any such Operating
Licenses, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)           HPUC or such other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
thereof has approved all material regulatory tariffs required to permit each of
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to operate its businesses as currently
operated, all such regulatory tariffs are in full force and effect and neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has failed to comply with the terms of any such
tariff, except in each case any lack of approvals or failures which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

(d)           Neither Holdings nor the Borrower has knowledge of any
investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation, forfeiture or other
order or complaint issued by or before the FCC or HPUC, or of any other
proceedings (other than proceedings relating to the telecommunications
industries generally) of or before the FCC or HPUC, which would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)           To the best knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, no event has
occurred which (i) has resulted in, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would result in, revocation, suspension, adverse modification, non-renewal,
impairment, restriction or termination of, or order of forfeiture with respect
to, any FCC License or Operating License in any respect which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) affects or could
reasonably be expected in the future to affect any of the rights of Holdings,
the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any FCC License or Operating License held
by it in any respect which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

(f)            Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has duly
filed in a timely manner all material filings, reports, applications, documents,
instruments and information required to be filed by it under the Communications
Act, and all such filings were when made true, correct and complete in all
material respects.  Holdings and the Borrower have no reason to believe that any
material FCC

56

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

License or Operating License held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary will not be
renewed in the ordinary course.

SECTION  3.09.  Investment Company Status.  None of Holdings, the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION  3.10.  Taxes.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns and reports required
to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required
to have been paid by it, except any Taxes that are being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings and for which Holdings, the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves.

SECTION  3.11.  ERISA; Margin Regulations.  (a)  During the five year period
prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed to be made with
respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no ERISA Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA
Events for which liability has occurred during such five year period or for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting
such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
Plans by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

(b)           None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is
engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of
the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly
or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, in any
manner that would entail a violation of the regulations of the Board, including
Regulation T, U or X.

SECTION  3.12.  Disclosure.  Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the
other written reports, financial statements, public filings, certificates or
other written information, taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of any
Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder
or thereunder (as of the date thereof and as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that,
with respect to information of a general economic nature, estimates and
projected financial information, Holdings and the Borrower represent only that
such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to
be reasonable (i) at the time such projected financial information was prepared,
(ii) on the date of the Information Memorandum and (iii) as of the date hereof
(it being understood that actual results may vary materially from such projected
financial information).

SECTION  3.13.  Subsidiaries.  Schedule 3.13 sets forth (i) the name of, and the
ownership interest of Holdings in, each subsidiary of Holdings and identifies
each subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the
Effective Date, and (ii) the name of, and the ownership

57

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

interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary of the Borrower and identifies each
Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Effective
Date.

SECTION  3.14.  Insurance.  Schedule 3.14 sets forth a description of all
material insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, all premiums
due and payable in respect of such insurance have been paid.  Holdings and the
Borrower believe that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate.

SECTION  3.15.  Labor Matters.  Except as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:  (a)
as of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of
Holdings or the Borrower, threatened; (b) the hours worked by and payments made
to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters; (c) all payments due from
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made
against Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and
employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or
accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such
Subsidiary; and (d) the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to
any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union
under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is bound.

SECTION  3.16.  Solvency.  Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Effective Date (a) the fair value of the assets of
the Borrower (individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, respectively, of the Borrower
(individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower
(individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable
liability of the debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, of the Borrower (individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as such debts and other liabilities become
absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower (individually) and Holdings, the Borrower
and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay the debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, respectively, of the
Borrower (individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured;
and (d) the Borrower (individually) and Holdings, the Borrower and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such
businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the
Effective Date.

SECTION  3.17.  Senior Indebtedness.  The Obligations constitute “Senior
Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Debt Documents.

SECTION  3.18.  [Reserved].

SECTION  3.19.  Security Documents.  (a)  The Collateral Agreement is effective
to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the respective
Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the
Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof.  In the case of the Pledged
Stock (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), when stock certificates
representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in
the case of the other Collateral described in the Collateral Agreement (other
than the Intellectual Property, as defined in the Collateral Agreement), when

58

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

financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 5 of the Perfection
Certificate in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6
of the Perfection Certificate (as updated by the Borrower from time to time in
accordance with Section 5.03), the Collateral Agent shall have a fully perfected
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan
Parties in the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the
Obligations, to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, in each case prior and superior in right
to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than the Pledged
Stock, Liens permitted by Section 6.02(a) and, in the case of the Pledged Stock,
inchoate Liens arising by operation of law and permitted by Section 6.02(a)).

(b)           When the Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is properly
filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a security interest
cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper filing of the financing
statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Collateral Agreement and such
financing statements shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the
Intellectual Property (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), in each case
prior and superior in right to any other Person (it being understood that
subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered

rights, contracts, FCC Licenses, Operating Licenses, other licenses, permits,
privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names, except
to the extent that the failure to do so (other than in the case of maintaining
the Borrower’s existence) would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any
merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03
or any sale of assets permitted under Section 6.05; and provided, further, that
Holdings or the Borrower may consummate any entity reorganization necessary for

accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested

that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, visits by
Lenders will be made jointly and not more often than once each fiscal year.

SECTION  5.09.  Compliance with Laws.  The Borrower will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, including the
Communications Act, HPUC regulations, other communications laws and
Environmental Laws, and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it,
its operations or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

Tranche C Term Loans borrowed on the Effective Date will be used only for (a)
the completion of the Replacement and (b) the payment of fees, commissions and

or acquired after the Effective Date (if it is a Subsidiary Loan Party), the
Borrower will, within five Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or
acquired, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, within 20 Business Days
after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired or such longer period as the
Administrative Agent shall agree, cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement
to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary and with respect to any Equity
Interest in or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan
Party.

SECTION  5.12.  Further Assurances.  (a)  Each of Holdings and the Borrower
will, and the Borrower will cause each Subsidiary Loan Party to, execute any and
all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and
take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing
statements, fixture filings, Mortgages and other documents), that may be
required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.
 Holdings and the Borrower also agree to provide to the Administrative Agent,
from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created
or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

(b)           If any material asset (including any real property or improvements
thereto or any interest therein) that has an individual fair market value of
more than $2,000,000 is acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party
after the Effective Date or owned by an entity at the time it becomes a
Subsidiary Loan Party (in each case other than assets constituting Collateral
under the Collateral Agreement that become subject to the Lien of the Collateral
Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the Administrative
Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders, the Borrower will cause such asset to be subjected to a Lien securing
the Obligations and will take, and cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to take,
such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph
(a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(c)           The Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and the other provisions
of this Section 5.12 need not be satisfied with respect to (i) real properties
owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with an individual fair market value
(including fixtures and improvements) that is less than $1,000,000 in the case
of such properties owned on the Effective Date and $2,000,000 in the case of
properties acquired after the Effective Date, (ii) any real property held by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary as a lessee under a lease, (iii) any Equity Interests
acquired after the Effective Date in accordance with this Agreement if, and to
the extent that, and for so long as (A) doing so would violate applicable law or
a contractual obligation binding on such Equity Interests and (B) such law or
obligation existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or
made binding on such Equity Interests in contemplation of or in connection with
the acquisition of such Subsidiary, (iv) any assets acquired after the Effective
Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate
a contractual obligation (it being understood that a Uniform Commercial Code
filing does not in and of itself constitute a contractual obligation) binding on
such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not
created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with
the acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets acquired with
Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(vii) that is secured by a
Lien permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(v)); provided that, upon the
reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall
cause any applicable Subsidiary to, use commercially

66

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

reasonable efforts to have waived or eliminated any contractual obligation of
the types described in clauses (iii) and (iv) above and (v) other assets with
respect to which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines after request by
the Borrower that the cost or impracticability of including such assets as
Collateral would be excessive in relation to the benefits to the Secured
Parties.

SECTION  5.13.  Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  The Borrower’s board
of directors may, at any time, designate (A) the Directories Sale Subsidiary or
(B) any other Subsidiary that is acquired or created after the Effective Date as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary by written notice to the Administrative Agent;
provided that, in addition to those Subsidiaries previously designated as
“Unrestricted Subsidiaries” by the Borrower pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement and set forth on Schedule 5.13, the Borrower shall only be permitted
to so designate a new Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date and so
long as (a) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (b)
such Subsidiary does not own any capital stock or Indebtedness of, or own or
hold a Lien on any property of, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary that is not
a subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated and (c) such Unrestricted
Subsidiary shall be capitalized (to the extent capitalized by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries) through Investments permitted by, and in compliance
with, Section 6.04(l) or (v), with any assets owned by such Unrestricted
Subsidiary at the time of the initial designation thereof to be treated as
Investments pursuant to Section 6.04(l) or (v); provided that at the time of the
initial Investment by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in such
Subsidiary, the Borrower shall designate such entity as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may
designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary for purposes of this
Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Redesignation”); provided that (i) such
Unrestricted Subsidiary, both before and after giving effect to such
designation, shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, (ii) no Default
or Event of Default then exists or would occur as a consequence of any such
Subsidiary Redesignation, (iii) calculations are made by the Borrower of Pro
Forma Compliance with the Financial Covenant, if applicable at such time, for
the relevant period, as if the respective Subsidiary Redesignation (as well as
all other Subsidiary Redesignations theretofore consummated after the first day
of such period) had occurred on the first day of such period, and such
calculations shall show that such Financial Covenant would have been complied
with if the Subsidiary Redesignation had occurred on the first day of such
period (for this purpose, if the first day of the respective period occurs prior
to the Effective Date, calculated as if the Financial Covenant had been
applicable from the first day of such period), (iv) based on good faith
projections prepared by the Borrower for the period from the date of the
respective Subsidiary Redesignation to the date that is one year thereafter, the
level of financial performance measured by the Financial Covenant shall be
better than or equal to such level as would be required to provide that no
Default or Event of Default would exist under the Financial Covenant through the
date that is one year from the date of the respective Subsidiary Redesignation,
(v) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of
the date of such Subsidiary Redesignation (both before and after giving effect
thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date, (vi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate executed by a Financial Officer,
certifying to the best of such officer’s knowledge, compliance with the
requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, and containing the
calculations required by the preceding clauses (iii) and (iv), and (vii) any
Unrestricted Subsidiary subject to a Subsidiary Redesignation may not thereafter
be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

or instrument governing such Indebtedness);

(g)           any event or condition occurs that results in any Material

holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or

or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,
conservator or similar official for Holdings, the Borrower or any Material
Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
proceeding that would entitle the other party or parties to an order for relief
or (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

amount in excess of $12,500,000 (net of amounts covered by insurance) shall be

remain undischarged for a period of 45 consecutive days during which execution
shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a
judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of Holdings, the Borrower or

or the relevant Security Document and subject to such limitations and
restrictions as set forth herein and therein) on any Collateral having, in the
aggregate, a value in excess of $12,500,000, except (i) as a result of the sale
or other disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted
under the Loan Documents or (ii) as a result of the Agent’s failure to maintain
possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments

84

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

(n)           any Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement for any reason shall

Guarantee thereunder has ceased to be or is not enforceable;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may with the
consent of the Required Lenders, and at the request of the Required Lenders
shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions,
at the same or different times:  (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon
the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then
outstanding to be due and payable in whole or in part, and thereupon the
principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in
clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate
and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest
thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder,
shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

To the extent Borrower restates any financial statements for any period as
contemplated by Section 7.01(c), such restatement shall cause an Event of
Default only if such restatement causes a default or an event of default under
the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Senior Unsecured Notes, or a violation of
any covenant (without regard to any waiver of any such covenant) contained in
any Senior Subordinated Debt Document or any Senior Unsecured Debt Document,
regardless of, and without application of, any cure period provided under such
Senior Subordinated Debt Document or such Senior Unsecured Debt Document;
provided, however, the Borrower shall not lose the benefit of any cure period
specifically provided for in this Agreement in respect of the covenants
contained in the Loan Documents.

SECTION  7.02.  Equity Cure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Article VII, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the
requirements of the Financial Covenant, until the expiration of the 15th day
subsequent to the date the certificate calculating compliance (or
non-compliance) with the Financial Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 5.01, Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure
Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of
Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the
Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower
of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings of such
Cure Right, the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the
following pro forma adjustments:

(a)           Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of
measuring compliance with such Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose
under this Agreement, including in connection with determining whether, after
giving effect to an event, the requirements of the Financial Covenant have been
met or Pro Forma Compliance exists, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

(b)           If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the
Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial
Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the
Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect
as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the

85

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

applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall
be deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four fiscal quarter
period there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure
Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount
required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenant and (iii) any
Equity Issuance consisting of Permitted Cure Securities shall be disregarded for
the purposes of determining compliance with any limitation contained in any of
the covenants in Article VI hereof (other than the Financial Covenant).

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints each of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Syndication Agent as its
agent and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. 

Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent
hereunder.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no
Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and no Agent shall be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by any bank serving as
an Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity (other than as an Agent). 
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the
Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii)
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.  

86

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

The Arrangers, in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or
responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.  Each
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor to such Agent as
provided in this paragraph, any Agent may resign upon 30 days notice to the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such
consent not to be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or
(i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor.  If
no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks, and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Agent which shall be a
bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After any Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION  9.02.  Waivers; Amendments.  (a)  No failure or delay by any Agent,
Issuing Bank or Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The
rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall

88

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

be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case
of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that
are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of
any Loan or LC Disbursement held by any Lender or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, reduce or limit the application of the Applicable Premium or reduce any
fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender, (iii)
postpone the final maturity of any Lender’s Loan, or any scheduled date of
payment of the principal amount of any Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan under
Section 2.10, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement held
by any Lender, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable to
any Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
written consent of such Lender, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or change the
last sentence of Section 2.08(e) in a manner which would alter the pro rata
reduction of Commitments thereby, without the written consent of each Lender,
(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required
Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such
Class, as the case may be), (vi) release Holdings from its Guarantee under the
Collateral Agreement or release a substantial portion of the Guarantees of the
Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Collateral Agreement (except as expressly
provided therein), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without
the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written
consent of each Lender or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a
manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due
to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of
any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class;
provided, further, that any amendment or modification of the Financial Covenant,
or any waiver or consent in respect thereof, shall require only the consent of
the Required Revolving Lenders; and provided, further that (A) no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such
Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B)
any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but
not the Tranche C Lenders) or the Tranche C Lenders (but not the Revolving
Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by Holdings, the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected
Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if
such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by
an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower, the Required
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are
affected thereby, each other Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender)
if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not
consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the
effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment

89

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

becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full
of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other
amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c)           If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by
clauses (i) through (ix), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b),
the consent of Lenders having Revolving Exposures, Tranche C Term Loans and
unused Commitments representing more than 50% of the sum of the total Revolving
Exposures, outstanding Tranche C Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time
is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent
is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as
all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as
described in either clause (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower if any such
Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Classes of Loans (or
related Commitments), to replace only the Commitments and/or Loans of such
non-consenting Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s
individual consent) with one or more assignees pursuant to, and with the effect
of an assignment under, Section 9.04 so long as at the time of such replacement,
each such assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination or (ii) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment (if such
Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Commitment) and/or repay each
Class of outstanding Loans of such Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain
such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its LC Exposure, in accordance
with Section 2.05(j); provided (A) that, unless the Commitments that are
terminated and Loans that are repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) are
immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or
the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders
(who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any
action pursuant to the preceding clause (ii), Lenders having Revolving
Exposures, Tranche C Term Loans and unused Commitments representing more than
50% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Tranche C Term
Loans and unused Commitments at such time (determined after giving effect to the
proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto (B) any such assignee shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the extent that such
assignment would require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 9.04 and (C) any such replacement or termination transaction described
above shall be effective on the date notice is given of the relevant transaction
and shall have a settlement date no earlier than five Business Days and no later
than 90 days after the relevant transaction; provided further that the Borrower
shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay
its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the
withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second
proviso to Section 9.02(b).

(d)           Without the consent of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, the Loan
Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their sole discretion, or shall, to
the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification
or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument,
to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any
security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give
effect to, or protect, any security interest for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in any Collateral, or so that the security interests therein comply with
applicable law.

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or
amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (i) to add one or more
additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of
credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect

90

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

thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest
and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

SECTION  9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  The Borrower shall pay
(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Arrangers
and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of transaction and documentation counsel for the Agents and the Arrangers and
such other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the
reasonable judgment of the Agents and the Arrangers, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and
(iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the
Arrangers, the Issuing Banks or any Lender, (including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of transaction and documentation counsel for the
Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and any Lender and such other local
counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the
Agents and the Arrangers) in connection with documentary Taxes or the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such
Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b)           The Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, the Arrangers, the
Issuing Banks and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel (including such other local counsel and special counsel as may be
required in the reasonable judgment of the Agents and the Arrangers), incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of any actions, judgments, suits, litigations or investigations of any
kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with (i) the
execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of
their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to
honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented
in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or
formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory and regardless of whether instituted by any Loan Party or
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such
Indemnitee’s (or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties) breach of its Obligations
under the Loan Documents or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee (or such Indemnitee’s Related Party).

91

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

(c)           To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
such Agent, and each Revolving Lender agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.  For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” with respect to payments to any Agent shall be determined based upon
its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans
and unused Commitments at the time, and a Revolving Lender’s “pro rata share”
with respect to payments to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be
determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures and
unused Commitments at the time.

(d)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor
the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)           All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
10 days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation
with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

SECTION  9.04.  Successors and Assigns.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks, the Arrangers, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and
Commitments and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that
the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Arrangers, the Agents
and each Lender.

(b)           Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other
Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating
interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the
other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the Borrower, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have
any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to
the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of
all Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02.  The Borrower agrees that if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have
been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Agreement, provided, however, that, in purchasing such
participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share
with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 2.19(c) as fully as
if such Participant were a Lender hereunder.

92

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

The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to its participation in the
Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant
were a Lender; provided, however, that, in the case of Section 2.17, such
Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and
provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by
such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.  In
addition, each transferor Lender selling a participation to a Participant under
this Section 9.04(b):  (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of
Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each such Participant, specifying
such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with
respect to such participation, and (ii) shall collect from each such Participant
the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.17
(and updated as required by Section 2.17) as if such Participant were a Lender
under Section 2.17.

(c)           Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law,
at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate,
Approved Fund or Controlled Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of
Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of each Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), to an additional Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption,
executed by such Eligible Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline
Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and
such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance
and recording in the Register; provided, however, that (A) no such assignment to
an Eligible Assignee (other than, in each case, any Lender, any affiliate of a
Lender or any Approved Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less
than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Tranche C Term Loans) or $5,000,000 (in the
case of the Revolving Commitments), unless (1) otherwise agreed by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent or (2) such assignment represents an assignment of
all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement; provided, that such amount
shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved
Funds, if any, and (B) if the Assignor shall retain any Loans or Commitments
after giving effect to such assignment such Loans and Commitments shall, unless
otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be in an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the
Tranche C Term Loans) or $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Commitments). 
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from
and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with  Commitments and/or Loans as set forth
therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a
party hereto, except as to Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 in respect of the
period prior to such effective date).  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment
that occurs at any time when any Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b),
(h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing.  For purposes
of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple
assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds shall be aggregated.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(c), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:

93

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

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) any entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(d)           The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower,
maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.01 a copy of each Assignment
and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the name and address of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, each
Lender’s Commitment, each Lender’s and each Issuing Bank’s interest in each
Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right
to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or
rights.  The entries in the Register shall be presumptively correct, in the
absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register as the owner of the Loans, any Notes evidencing such Loans and any
Reimbursement Obligation recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. 
Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer
of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register
only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note
evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption;
thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be
issued to the designated Eligible Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned
by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”.  The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender (with respect to
any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) or any Issuing Bank (with respect to
any entry relating to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations owed to such
Issuing Bank) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

(e)           Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an
Assignor and an Eligible Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any
other Person is required by Section 9.04(c), by each such other Person) together
with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of
$3,500 (if required by the Administrative Agent and, in any case treating
multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a
single assignment), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such
Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant
thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice
of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower.  On or prior to such
effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Note or Notes of
the assigning Lender) a new Note or Notes, to the order of such Eligible
Assignee and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving
Commitment and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired
by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the Assignor has
retained a Revolving Commitment and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be,
upon request, a new Note or Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the
Assignor and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving
Commitment and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it
hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall
otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f)            For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans
and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not
prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including
any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to (i) any Federal
Reserve Bank in

94

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

accordance with applicable law, (ii) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit
of, the holders of such Lender’s securities or (iii) any SPC to which such
Lender granted an option pursuant to clause (g) below.

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an
“SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the
Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to
make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain
with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full
of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will
not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof.  In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.04(g), any
SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee
therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting
Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial
institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of
such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided, however, that non-public
information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the
Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld.  This paragraph (g)
may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding
at the time of such proposed amendment.  In addition, each Granting Lender
granting an SPC the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any
Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (i) shall keep a register, meeting the
requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each SPC which has
funded all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would have otherwise been
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, specifying such
SPC’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such
Loan and (ii) shall collect, prior to the time such SPC receives payments with
respect to such funded Loan, from each SPC the appropriate forms, certificates
and statements described in Section 2.17 (and updated as required by Section
2.17) as if such SPC were a Lender under Section 2.17, and each SPC that assigns
all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to any financial institution
pursuant to this Section 9.04(g), (i) shall keep a register, meeting the
requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each such financial
institution, specifying such financial institution’s entitlement to payments of
principal and interest with respect to such Loan and (ii) shall collect, prior
to the time such financial institution receives payments with respect to such
funded Loan, from each such financial institution the appropriate forms,
certificates and statements described in Section 2.17 (and updated as required
by Section 2.17) as if such financial institution were a Lender under Section
2.17.

(h)           For purposes of this Section 9.04, if an Issuing Bank transfers
its rights with respect to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation with respect
to a Letter of Credit, (i) such Issuing

95

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

Bank shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such
transfer for notation in the Register, (ii) each such transfer may only be made
upon notation of such transfer in the Register, and (iii) no such transfer will
be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register.

SECTION  9.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION  9.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

SECTION  9.07.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

SECTION  9.08.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each
Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

96

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

SECTION  9.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)
 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of
the State of New York.

(b)           Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final 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.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrower or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction.

(c)           Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)           Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION  9.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN  ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.

SECTION  9.11.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION  9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
trustees, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep

97

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

such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) to
any pledgee under Section 9.04(f) or any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or the
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings or the Borrower or
its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by
Holdings or the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received
from Holdings or the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION  9.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION  9.14.  Termination or Release.  (a)  At such time as the Loans, the
Borrower’s obligations to reimburse any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(e)
for LC Disbursements, all accrued interest and fees under this Agreement, and
all other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than (i) obligations under
Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 that are not then due and payable and (ii)
obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit) shall have been paid in
full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit
shall have been discharged or cash collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Agents and Issuing Banks (each of which shall have confirmed such
satisfaction by written notice to the Borrower), the Collateral shall be
released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive termination) of the Collateral
Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b)           A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its
obligations under the Collateral Agreement and the security interests in the
Collateral of such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as

98

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

a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the
Borrower or is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c)           Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party of any
Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement to any Person that is not a
Loan Party, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of
the security interest granted by the Collateral Agreement in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 9.02 of this Agreement, the security interest in such
Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d)           In connection with any termination or release pursuant to
paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9.14, the Collateral Agent shall
execute and deliver to any Loan Party at such Loan Party’s expense all documents
that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.14
shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

SECTION  9.15.  USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION  9.16.  Delivery of Lender Addenda.  Each Lender as of the Effective
Date which is not a Continuing Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by
delivery to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such
Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION  9.17.  Amendment and Restatement.

(a)           On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit
Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence
(i) the incurrence by the Loan Parties of the “Obligations” under and as defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such “Obligations” are
contingent as of the Effective Date), (ii) the representations and warranties
made by the Loan Parties prior to the Effective Date and (iii) any action or
omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to such Existing Credit
Agreement prior to the Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the
Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such Existing Credit
Agreement).  The amendments and restatements set forth herein shall not cure any
breach thereof or any “Default” or “Event of Default” under and as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement existing prior to the Effective Date.  This
Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations
and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment
of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

(b)           The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Agents’ and the
Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall apply to (i) all of the Obligations incurred hereunder and all obligations
incurred under the Loan Documents and (ii) all of the “Obligations” incurred
under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and all obligations of the
Loan Parties incurred under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement) (the “Existing Loan Documents”).

99

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

(c)           Each Grantor (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) and each
Guarantor hereby reaffirms the Liens granted pursuant to the Existing Loan
Documents to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), which Liens shall continue in full
force and effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof and
shall continue to secure the Obligations.  Each of the Grantors and the
Guarantors hereby consents to the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith.

(d)           On and after the Effective Date, (i) all references to the
Existing Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement)
shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and
restated hereby, (ii) all references to any Article, Section or sub-clause of
the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (other than this Agreement)
shall be deemed to be references to the corresponding provisions of this
Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the
Effective Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes
of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be references
to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby.

(e)           This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a
consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar
and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect
unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or amended by any other Loan
Document.
