                              SECTION II. GUARANTEE

          2.1. Guarantee. (a) (i) The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations (other than, in the case
of each Guarantor, Borrower Obligations arising pursuant to clause (ii) of this
Section 2.1(a) in respect of Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations in respect of
which such Guarantor is a primary obligor).

               (ii) The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the
prompt and complete payment and

                                        7

<PAGE>

performance by each Guarantor when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations of such
Guarantor (other than any such obligation for which the Borrower is the primary
obligor).

          (b)  Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed
by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in Section 2.2).

          (c)  (i)  Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at
any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such
Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee of such Guarantor contained
in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party hereunder.

               (ii) The Borrower agrees that the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the
liability of the Borrower under this Section 2 without impairing the guarantee
of the Borrower contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies
of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder.

          (d)  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full
force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been
satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the
Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time
during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any
Borrower Obligations and any or all of the Guarantors may be free from their
respective Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations.

          (e)  No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Agent or any
Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or
any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment (other than any payment made in respect of the Borrower Obligations or
the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, respectively, or any payment received
or collected in respect of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligations, respectively), remain liable for their respective
Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations up to the
maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations and
the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit
shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

          2.2. Right of Contribution. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than
its proportionate share of any

                                        8

<PAGE>

payment made hereunder or in respect of Borrower Obligations, such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against
any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate
share of such payment.

          (b)  The Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that to the extent that
the Borrower or any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share
of any payment made hereunder in respect of any Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligation of any other Guarantor, the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the
Borrower and any other Guarantor which has not paid its proportionate share of
such payment.

          (c)  The Borrower's and each Guarantor's right of contribution under
this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.
The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agents and the Secured
Parties, and the Borrower and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Agents
and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by the Borrower or such
Guarantor hereunder.

          2.3. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Agent
or any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of any Agent or any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any
Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations or the
Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any
other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until
all amounts owing to the Agents and the Secured Parties by the Borrower on
account of the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the
Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when the Commitments shall not
have terminated, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or any amounts owing
in respect of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the Agents and the Secured Parties, segregated from other
funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Administrative Agent may determine.

          2.4. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower
Obligations or Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations made by any Agent or any
Secured Party may be rescinded by such Agent or such Secured Party and any of
the Borrower Obligations or Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations continued, and
the Borrower Obligations or Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, or the

                                        9

<PAGE>

liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Agent or any
Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative
Agent (or the requisite Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any
time held by any Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations or Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released. No Agent or Secured Party shall have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property
subject thereto.

          2.5. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Each Guarantor waives
any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Borrower Obligations (other than any notice with respect to any Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligation with respect to which such Guarantor is a primary obligor
and to which it is entitled pursuant to the applicable Specified Hedge
Agreement) and notice of or proof of reliance by any Agent or any Secured Party
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee
contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this
Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Agents and the Secured Parties, on the other hand,
likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the
Borrower Obligations (other than any diligence, presentment, protest, demand or
notice with respect to any Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation with respect to
which such Guarantor is a primary obligor and to which it is entitled pursuant
to the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement). Each Guarantor understands and
agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
(a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement, any of the Borrower Obligations or any
other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Agent or any Secured Party,
(b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Borrower or any other Person against any Agent or any Secured Party, or (c) any
other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the
Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower from the Borrower
Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section
2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any
Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Borrower, any other

                                       10

<PAGE>

Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee
for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by any Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral
security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of
the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any
obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Agent
or any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand"
shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

          (b) The Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension or accrual of any of the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations (other
than any notice with respect to any Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation with
respect to which the Borrower is a primary obligor and to which it is entitled
pursuant to the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement) and notice of or proof of
reliance by any Agent or any Secured Party upon the guarantee by the Borrower
contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee by the Borrower
contained in this Section 2; the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee by the Borrower contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between
the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agents and the
Secured Parties, on the other hand, with respect to any Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligation likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee by the Borrower contained in this
Section 2. The Borrower waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower with respect
to the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations (other than any diligence,
presentment, protest, demand or notice with respect to any Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligation with respect to which the Borrower is a primary obligor and
to which it is entitled pursuant to the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement).
The Borrower understands and agrees that the guarantee by the Borrower contained
in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the
Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations or any other collateral security therefor
or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to
time held by any Agent or any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by any Person against any Agent or any
Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice
to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the applicable
Guarantor for the applicable Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, or of the
Borrower under its guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in
any other instance. When making any demand under this Section 2 or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies under this Section 2 against the Borrower, any
Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or
guarantee for the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations or any right of offset
with respect thereto, and any

                                       11

<PAGE>

failure by any Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Guarantor or
any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or
to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Guarantor or any
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset,
shall not relieve the Borrower of any obligation or liability under this Section
2, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express,
implied or available as a matter of law, of any Agent or any Secured Party
against the Borrower under this Section 2. For the purposes hereof "demand"
shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

          2.6. Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations or Guarantor
Hedge Agreement Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any Agent or any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator
of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

          2.7. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim (i) in the case of obligations in respect of Borrower Obligations
arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in Dollars at the
Payment Office specified in the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of
obligations in respect of any Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations or any
Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, in the currency and at the place
specified in the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement.

Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties, a security interest in,
all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by
such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may

                   SECTION IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          To induce the Agents and the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit
Agreement and the Specified Hedge Agreements and to induce the Secured Parties
to make their respective extensions of credit or financial accommodations to the
Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to each Agent
and each Secured Party that:

          4.1. Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each
Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the
Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to
which such Guarantor is a party, each of which representations and warranties is
hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material
respects, and each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each of
them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in
each such representation and warranty to the Borrower's knowledge shall, for the
purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor's
knowledge.

          4.2. No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agents and the Secured
Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the
Collateral by the Credit Agreement, all of such Grantor's Collateral is free and
clear of any and all Liens or claims of others.

<PAGE>

          4.3. Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted
pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions
specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents
referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in
completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security
interests in all of the UCC Filing Collateral in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties, as
collateral security for such Grantor's Obligations, enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons
purporting to purchase any such Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior

of the outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.

          (b)  All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly
issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

          (c)  To the best of such Grantor's knowledge, each of the Pledged

respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the
effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

          (d)  Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free
of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person,

Agreement and other Liens permitted under Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement
(except Section 7.3(j)).

          4.8. Receivables. (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in
connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper
(to the extent the aggregate amount of such Instruments and Chattel Paper

except for Receivables which such Grantor expects to transfer within 90 days of
the date of the origination of such Receivables pursuant to a Permitted
Receivables Financing.

          (b)  Except as set forth on Schedule 8, as of the date hereof, none of
the obligors on any Receivables is a Governmental Authority.

          (c)  The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Agents and the
Secured Parties from time to time as owing to such Grantor in respect of the
Receivables will at such times be accurate in all material respects.

          4.9. Contracts. (a) No consent of any party (other than such Grantor)
to any Contract is required, or purports to be required, in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

          (b)  Each Contract is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid
and legally enforceable obligation of the Grantors party thereto, subject to the
effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

          (c)  No material consent or material authorization of, filing with, or
other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in
connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability
of any of the Contracts by any Grantor party thereto other than those which have
been duly obtained, made or performed, are in full force and effect and do not
subject the scope of any such Contract to any material adverse limitation,
either specific or general in nature.

          (d)  As of the Effective Date, neither such Grantor nor (to the best
of such Grantor's knowledge) any of the other parties to the Contracts is in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms thereof in any
manner that, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (e)  The right, title and interest of such Grantor in, to and under
the Contracts are not subject to any defenses, offsets, counterclaims or claims
that, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

upon the Collateral, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without
limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to
the Collateral, except (a) that no such charge need be paid if the amount or
validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been
provided on the books of such Grantor or (b) where the failure to pay, discharge
or otherwise satisfy such obligations could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of

action shall be required with respect to Deposit Accounts unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

          5.6. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except
upon 15 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to

interest hereunder, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose
of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or the Proceeds
thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit

of the Credit Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking
restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to
sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or the Proceeds thereof,
other than the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture (or any other indenture
governing Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.2(f) of the Credit Agreement)

terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent
promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section

instructions originated by the Administrative Agent with respect to Investment
Property issued by it without any further consent of the owner thereof.

          (d)   No Grantor shall permit any other Person (other than the
Administrative Agent) to exercise or obtain "control" (within the meaning of
Section 8-106 of the New York UCC in effect on the date hereof or at any time
hereafter) in connection with any Lien of any of its Investment Property
(including Cash Equivalents) in connection with the grant of a Lien by such

Credit Agreement.

products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such Trademark
with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends
required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which
is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the

not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or
impaired in any way.

                                       20

<PAGE>

          (b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any
act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent may become forfeited,

itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of the
Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

          (d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any
act that knowingly uses any material Intellectual Property to infringe the
intellectual property rights of any other Person.

          (e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or
registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become
forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination
or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in
any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of, or the validity of, any
material Intellectual Property or such Grantor's right to register the same or
to own and maintain the same.

          (f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration
of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other
country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such
filing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after the last day
of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the
Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded,
any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative

such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material
economic value, promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof
and in its reasonable business judgment sue for infringement, misappropriation
or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and
all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

                        SECTION VI. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

          6.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) After the occurrence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner
and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor
shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent
may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from
time to time, upon the Administrative Agent's request and at the expense of the
relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or
others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative
Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and
trial balances for, the Receivables.

          (b)  The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to
collect such Grantor's Receivables, and the Administrative Agent may curtail or
terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be
forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the
sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Agents and the Secured Parties
only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by
such Grantor in trust for the Agents and the Secured Parties, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall
be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and
source of the payments included in the deposit.

          (c)  At the Administrative Agent's request, each Grantor shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and
relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables,
including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping
receipts.

          6.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The
Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the
Administrative Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any
Receivables.

     (b)  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall
notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable

                                       22

<PAGE>

benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties and that payments in respect
thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

          (c)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor
shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in
accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither any
Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of
this Agreement or the receipt by any Agent or any Secured Party of any payment
relating thereto, nor shall any Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any
manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make
any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or
as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or
file any claim, or to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect
the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may
be entitled at any time or times.

               6.3. Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice
to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent's intent to exercise its
corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted
to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged
Stock and other Investment Property and all payments made in respect of the
Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the
relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in
the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with
respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be
cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the
Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which
would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the
Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

               (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the
Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to
the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in
respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the
Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5 and (ii) any or all of the
Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent
or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter
exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such
Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the
relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion
any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the
organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or
the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such
Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and
deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee,

                                       23

<PAGE>

depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability
except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing.

          (c)  Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any
Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x)
states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or
further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer
shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly
permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the
Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

          6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition
to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties specified in
Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting
of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust
for the Agents and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to
the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion
and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral
Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided
in Section 6.5.

          6.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon
by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent's
election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds
constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any
proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations
in the following order:

               First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the
          Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;

               Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it
          towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in
          respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Agents and the Secured
          Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing
          and remaining unpaid to the Agents and the Secured Parties;

                                       24

<PAGE>

                     Third, to the Administrative Agent, for deposit in a cash
              collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount
              equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such
              Letters of Credit for all Letters of Credit with respect to which
              presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of
              application of Proceeds pursuant to this Section 6.5 and with
              respect to which the Borrower is not under an obligation under
              Section 8 of the Credit Agreement to make deposits into a cash
              collateral account;

                     Fourth, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it
              towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata (i) with respect
              to prepayment of the Obligations, among the Agents and the Secured
              Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by
              the Agents and the Secured Parties and (ii) with respect to the
              cash collateral account, among the Lenders according to their
              respective Revolving Credit Percentages; and

                     Fifth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the
              then outstanding Obligations shall have been paid in full, no
              Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall
              have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to
              whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

              6.6.   Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Agents and the
Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of
a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Any Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived
and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's
request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative
Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether
at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply
the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or
in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agents and the
Secured Parties hereunder,

                                       25

<PAGE>


including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to
the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the
Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the
payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New
York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any
Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Agent or any Secured
Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. If any notice
of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days
before such sale or other disposition.

          6.7. Registration Rights. (a) If the Administrative Agent shall
determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is
necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be
sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant
Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the
directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to
register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the
provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of
the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all
amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to
cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate
and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

          (b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock
for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

          (c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all
or any portion of the

                                       26

<PAGE>


Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance
with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further
agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will
cause irreparable injury to the Agents and the Secured Parties, that the Agents
and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach
and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section
6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of
Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

          6.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency
if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are
insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any
attorneys employed by any Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.


                   Section VII.    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          7.1. Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a)
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its
own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement in each case after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of
such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following:

               (i)   in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise,
          take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
          acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under
          any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any
          claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or
          equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for
          the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any
          Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

               (ii)  in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and
          deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments,
          documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to
          evidence the Administrative Agent's and the Secured Parties' security
          interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general
          intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

               (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
          threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance
          called for by the terms

                                       27

<PAGE>



               of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums
               therefor and the costs thereof;

                    (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
               Section 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other
               instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
               Collateral; and

                    (v) (a) direct any party liable for any payment under any of
               the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to
               become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as
               the Administrative Agent shall direct; (b) ask or demand for,
               collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
               moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time
               in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (c) sign and
               indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading,
               storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
               assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
               connection with any of the Collateral; (d) commence and prosecute
               any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
               court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any
               portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
               Collateral; (e) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
               against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (f) settle,
               compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in
               connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the
               Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (g) assign any
               Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the
               business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark
               pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
               conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall
               in its sole discretion determine; and (h) generally, sell,
               transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
               otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
               as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner
               thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent's
               option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to
               time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems
               necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and
               the Administrative Agent's and Secured Parties' security
               interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all
               as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

               Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the
power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing.

               (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but
without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement.

               (c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in
connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together
with interest thereon at a rate per

                                       28

<PAGE>


annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on
past due Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit
Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent on demand.

          (d)  Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

          7.2. Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent's sole
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Agent or Secured Party
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or
for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or
to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. The powers conferred on the Agents and the Secured Parties hereunder
are solely to protect the Agents' and the Secured Parties' interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Agent or any Secured Party to
exercise any such powers. The Agents and the Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          7.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable
law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with
respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and
in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect
the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each
Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description
"all personal property" in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby
ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

          7.4. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that
the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or
non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request,
judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with
respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no

                                       29

<PAGE>



Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

                          SECTION VIII.      MISCELLANEOUS

          8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in
accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

          8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such
notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor (other than Holdings) shall
be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

          8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Agent or
Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to
Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived
any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Agent or
any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which any Agent or any Secured
Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies
herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

          8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees
to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and each Agent for all its reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a
party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each
Secured Party and of counsel to each Agent.

          (b)  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agents and the
Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other
similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to
any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

          (c)  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agents and the
Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the

                                       30

<PAGE>


extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the
Credit Agreement.

          (d)  The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

          8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Agents and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that
no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent.

          8.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent
and each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and
be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such
notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof
in such amounts as such Agent or such Secured Party may elect, against and on
account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Agent or such
Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Agent
or such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising
hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as
such Agent or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Agent or any
Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations,
liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent and each
Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the
application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
The rights of the Agents and each Secured Party under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Agents or such Secured Party may have.

          8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including
by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.

          8.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          8.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof
or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

          8.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Agents and the Secured Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Secured Party
relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

          8.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

irrevocably and unconditionally:

     proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
     it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
     respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of

     such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to

     action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
     plead or claim the same;

          (c)   agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
     may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
     (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such
     Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address
     of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
     thereto;

          (d)   agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
     service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
     right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

          (e)   waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right
     it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred
     to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
     damages.

          8.13. Acknowledgments.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

          (a)   it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
     delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a
     party;

          (b)   no Agent or Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or
     duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
     any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors,
     on the one hand, and the Agents

                                       32

<PAGE>


          and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
          therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

          (c)   no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
          Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
          contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors
          and the Secured Parties.

          8.14. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is
required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.10 of the
Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon
execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form
of Annex 1 hereto.

          8.15. Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and the other Obligations (other than (i) Borrower Hedge Agreement
Obligations and Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations and (ii) unasserted
contingent indemnity and other obligations which expressly survive the
