                                  ARTICLE II

                                 THE TERM LOAN

          Section 2.01   Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and
conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth,
each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of the Term Loan to the
Borrower on the Funding Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the
amount of the Lender's Term Loan Commitment. The aggregate principal amount of
the Term Loan made on the Funding Date shall not exceed the Total Term Loan
Commitment. Any principal amount of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may
not be reborrowed.

          Section 2.02   Making the Term Loan. (a) The Borrower shall give the
Agent prior telephonic notice (immediately confirmed in writing, in
substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (a "Notice of Borrowing")), not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Funding Date. Such Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the
Term Loan, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Term Loan, and (iii) the
borrowing date, which must be the Funding Date. The Agent and the Lender may act
without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice
believed by the Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any
Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower
to the Agent). The Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent's
record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. The Agent and
each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer's
authority to request the Term Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Agent
receives written notice to the contrary. None of the Agent and the Lenders shall
have any duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on the
written Notice of Borrowing.

               (b)  The Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall
be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance
therewith.

               (c)  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 2.02(b), the
Term Loan under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders proportionately to
their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Total Term Loan Commitment, it being
understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in that other Lender's obligations to make the Term Loan requested
hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a

                                    - 21 -
<PAGE>
result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to
make the Term Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to
make the Term Loan required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement
regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

          Section 2.03   Repayment of Term Loan; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be repaid in full on the Final
Maturity Date.

               (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 the portion of the Term 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 Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of the Term Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal
or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to
each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the 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 (c) or (d) 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 Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

               (e)  Any Lender may request that the portion of the Term Loan
made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall
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) in a form furnished by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower.  Thereafter, the Term Loan evidenced by such promissory note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 9.07) 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 2.04   Interest.

               (a)  Interest Rate. The Term Loan shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the
Term Loan until such principal amount becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to
14%, provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Term
Loan, and all other Term Loan Obligations of the Borrower shall bear interest,
from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of
Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate.

               (b)  Interest Payment. Interest on the Term Loan shall be payable
monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day
of the month following the month in which the Term Loan is made and at maturity
(whether upon demand, by

                                    - 22 -
<PAGE>
acceleration or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable
on demand.

               (c)  General. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days for the actual number of days, including the first day but
excluding the last day, elapsed.

          Section 2.05   Reduction of Term Loan Commitment; Prepayment of the
Term Loan.

               (a)  Reduction of Term Loan Commitment. The Total Term Loan
Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding
Date.

               (b)  Optional Prepayment. The Borrower may, upon at least five
(5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, the principal of the Term
Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section
2.05(b) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of
such payment on the amount prepaid.

               (c)  Mandatory Prepayment.

                    (i)    The Borrower will immediately prepay the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan in the event that the Revolving Loan
Obligations become due and payable or the Revolving Commitments are terminated
or the Revolving Loan Agreement is terminated.

                    (ii)    Upon any Disposition by the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such
Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate
amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and
not paid to the Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loan) shall not have been
applied to repay or redeem the Mortgage Notes. Nothing contained in this
Subsection 2.05(c)(ii) shall permit the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
make a Disposition of any property that is not otherwise permitted hereunder.

                    (iii)   Upon the issuance or incurrence by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described
in Section 6.02(d)(ii)), or the sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock (other than to the Borrower),
the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount
equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection
therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.05(c)(iii) shall not be deemed to be
implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale that is not otherwise
permitted by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                    (iv)   Upon the receipt by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipt in an amount in excess of $100,000,
the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Term Loan in an
amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipt, net of any reasonable
expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipt.

               (d)  Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.05

                                    - 23 -
<PAGE>
shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount
being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and if such prepayment would reduce the
amount of the outstanding Term Loan to zero, such prepayment shall be
accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section
2.06.

               (e)  Cumulative Prepayments.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this
Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any
other subsection of this Section 2.05.

          Section 2.06   Fees.

               (a)  Closing Fee. On the Funding Date, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, a non-refundable closing fee equal to $400,000, which shall be due and
deemed fully earned on the Funding Date.

               (b)  Anniversary Fee. On each anniversary date of the Funding
Date on which the Term Loan Obligations have not been paid in full, the Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their

shall be due and deemed fully earned on such anniversary of the Funding Date.

               (c)  Prepayment Fee. In the event that the Borrower prepays all
or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan at any time
during the period from the Funding Date through the date that is 18 months after
the Funding Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a non-refundable prepayment
fee equal to 1.5% of the principal amount prepaid.

          Section 2.07   Securitization. The Borrower hereby acknowledge that
the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Term Loan (a
"Securitization") through the pledge of the Term Loan as collateral security for
loans to the Lender or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Term Loan or
the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Term Loan, which loans to
the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by
Moody's, Standard & Poor's or one or more other rating agencies (the "Rating
Agencies"). The Borrower shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates
to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents,
as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization,
provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose
material additional costs on the Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or
additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or
materially increase the obligations, of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or
change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrower the financial terms of the
Term Loan, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the
Lenders in connection with the rating of the Term Loan or the Securitization,
and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Term Loan a certificate

the Securitization (collectively, the "Securitization Parties") for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (the "Liabilities") to which

                                    - 24 -
<PAGE>
the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document
or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any the Borrower to the Lenders
in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such
indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or
assigns of the Term Loan and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lenders and their
Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons
in connection with defending the Liabilities.

          Section 2.08   Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall be made without set-off, counterclaim,
deduction or other defense. All such payments shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any present or future income, franchise, sales, use,
excise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees,
withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction (whether pursuant to
Federal, state, local or foreign law) or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or additional amounts,
excluding taxes on the net income of any Lender, or the Agent imposed by the
jurisdiction in which such Lender, or such Agent is organized or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or any jurisdiction in which
such Person's principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof
or taxing authority thereof (such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, fees, withholdings, restrictions, conditions, interest,
penalties and additional amounts being hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document,

                    (i)    the amount so payable shall be increased so that
after making all required deductions and withholdings (including Taxes on
amounts payable pursuant to this sentence) the Lenders or the Agent, as the case
may be, receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made,

                    (ii)   the Borrower shall make such deduction or
withholding,

                    (iii)  the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law,
and

                    (iv)   as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower
shall send the Lenders and the Agent an official receipt (or, if an official
receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to
the Lender or the Agent as the case may be) evidencing payment of the amount or
amounts so deducted or withheld. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any
present or future taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation or
filing of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document other than the foregoing excluded taxes (hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes").

<PAGE>
               (b)  The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the
Lenders and the Agent harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses for nonpayment, late
payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such
indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such
Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify
in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

               (c)  Each Lender that is organized in a jurisdiction outside the
United States hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Funding Date or, in
the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 9.07 after
the Funding Date, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and
from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Agent, but only if such Lender is legally able to do so), deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent either (i) two accurate, complete and signed copies of
either (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form, or (y)
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor form, in each case,
indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to
receive payments of interest hereunder free from, or subject to a reduced rate
of, withholding of United States Federal income tax or (ii) in the case of such
a Lender that is entitled to claim exemption from withholding of United States
Federal income tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is (A) not a
"bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code,
(B) not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Parent within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and (C) not a controller foreign
corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) two accurate, complete
and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor
form.

               (d)  If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations
under this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and the Agent
for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any
such failure. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.08 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loan and
all other amounts payable hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE III

                      FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

          Section 3.01   Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees. The Borrower
acknowledges that representatives of the Agent may visit any or all of the
Borrower and/or conduct audits, inspections, valuations and/or field
examinations of any or all of the Borrower at any time and from time to time in
a manner so as to not unduly disrupt the business of the Borrower. The Borrower
agrees to pay (i) $1,500 per day per examiner plus the examiner's out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with all such visits,
audits, inspections, valuations and field examinations and (ii) the cost of all
visits, audits, inspections, valuations and field examinations conducted by a
third party on behalf of the Agent.

                                    - 26 -
<PAGE>
          Section 3.02   Payments; Computations and Statements. The Borrower
will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America
and in immediately available funds, to the Agent's Account. All payments
received by the Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day
will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All
payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction
or other defense to the Agent and the Lenders.  Except as provided in Section
2.02, after receipt, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed
like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of
any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be
applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Agent
will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the
account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly
after receipt thereof. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan
Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as
the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Agent on the
basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first
day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are
payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest
error.

          Section 3.03   Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section
2.02, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any
Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar
obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase
from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by
them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such
purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together
with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion
of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all of its rights (including the Lender's right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          Section 3.04   Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02:

               (a)  all payments of principal and interest in respect of
outstanding Term Loan all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in
Section 2.06, and the audit and collateral monitoring fee provided for in
Section 3.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Term Loan
Obligations, shall be allocated by the Agent among such of the Lenders as are
entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise
as provided herein or, in

                                    - 27 -
<PAGE>
respect of payments not made on account of the Term Loan, as designated by the
Person making payment when the payment is made.

               (b)  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall,
apply all payments in respect of any Term Loan Obligations and all proceeds of
the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably
to pay the Term Loan Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements,
indemnities and other amounts then due to the Agent until paid in full; (ii)
second, ratably to pay the Term Loan Obligations in respect of any fees and
indemnities then due to the Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third,
ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full; (iv)
fourth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full, and (v)
fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Term Loan Obligations then due and
payable.

               (c)  In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has

payment by the Borrower specified by the Borrower to the Agent to be for the
payment of Term Loan Obligations then due and payable under any provision of

provisions of this Section 3.04 and other provisions contained in any other Loan
Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority
provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the

the Agent with any Capital Guideline or with any request or directive of any
such Governmental Authority with respect to any Capital Guideline, or the
implementation of, or any change in, any applicable accounting principles (in
each case, whether or not having the force of law), either (i) affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender
or the Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or the Agent, and any Lender,
the Agent determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or
indirect consequence of the Term Loan made or maintained, any Lender's or the
Agent's or any such other controlling Person's other obligations hereunder, or
(ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender's
or the Agent's any such other controlling Person's capital to a level below that
which such Lender or the Agent or such controlling Person could have achieved
but for such circumstances as a consequence of the Term Loan made or

                                    - 28 -
<PAGE>
maintained, or any agreement to make the Term Loan, or such Lender's, the
Agent's or such other controlling Person's other obligations hereunder (in each
case, taking into consideration, such Lender's or the Agent's or such other
controlling Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon
demand by any Lender or the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the
Agent from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender,
the Agent for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction
in the rate of return on such Lender's or the Agent's or such other controlling
Person's capital. A certificate of such Lender or the Agent claiming
compensation under this Section 3.05, specifying the event herein above
described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Lender or the
Agent to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an
explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Lender's or the Agent's reasons
for invoking the provisions of this Section 3.05, and shall be final and
conclusive absent manifest error.

          Section 7.02   Remedies.

               (a)  At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, the Agent and the Lenders shall have all rights and remedies
provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Uniform Commercial
Code and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised
without notice to or consent by the Borrower or any Guarantor, except as such
notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable
law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to the Agent and Lenders hereunder,
under any of the other Loan Documents, the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in the Agent's
discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more
occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court
of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by the
Borrower or any of its Guarantor of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.  Subject to Article VIII, the Agent may, and at the direction of the
Required Lenders shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against the
Borrower or any Guarantor to collect the Term Loan Obligations without prior
recourse to the Collateral.

               (b)  Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may, in its
discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall (i) accelerate
the payment of all Term Loan Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to
the Agent upon notice to the Borrower for itself and the ratable benefit of
Lenders (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described
in Section 7.01(f) and Section 7.01(g), all Term Loan Obligations shall
automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial
process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in
which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral
or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the
Collateral, (iii) require the Borrower on any Obligor, at the Borrower's
expense, to assemble and make available to the Agent any part or all of the
Collateral at any place and time designated

                                    - 50 -
<PAGE>
by the Agent, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize
upon any and all Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any
premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the
sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi)
sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all
Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or
private sales at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of the Agent or
elsewhere) at such prices or terms as the Agent may deem reasonable, for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery, with the Agent having the right to purchase
the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the
foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of the Borrower on
any Obligor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and
released by the Borrower and Obligors and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement.  If
any of the Collateral is sold or leased by the Agent upon credit terms or for
future delivery, the Term Loan Obligations shall not be reduced as a result
thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by the Agent.  If notice of
disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by the
Agent to the Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is
to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and the Borrower
waives any other notice to the extent permitted by applicable law.  In the event
the Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of
any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, the Borrower waives the posting of
any bond which might otherwise be required.

               (c)  At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, the Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the
direction of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall, enforce the rights of the
Borrower or any Obligor against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other
obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the
direction of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall, at such time or times (i)
notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in
respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to the Agent and that
the Agent has a security interest therein and the Agent may direct any or all
account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of
Receivables directly to the Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of,
compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or
otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other
obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the
account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof
without affecting any of the Term Loan Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or
enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any
duty to do so, and the Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to
collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or
attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action the Agent may
deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the
interests of Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, at the Agent's request, all invoices and statements
sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other
obligations have been assigned to the Agent and are payable directly and only to
the Agent and the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such originals of
documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of
services giving rise to any Accounts as the Agent may require.  In the event any
account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent's request, hold the
returned Inventory in trust for the Agent, segregate all

                                    - 51 -
<PAGE>
returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned
Inventory solely according to the Agent's instructions, and not issue any
credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without the Agent's prior
written consent.

               (d)  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the
Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner
(which duties cannot be waived under such law) the Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent or any Lender (i)
to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent or any
Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to
fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for
the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of;
(iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary
obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as the Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or
any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional
auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the
collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by
utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so,
or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in
wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent or Lenders
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain
the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral.  The Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to
provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent or
any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by the Agent
or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by the Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be
construed to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties on the
Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement
or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

               (e)  For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise the rights
and remedies hereunder, the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, to the extent
assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an
Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and for so long as the same is
continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Borrower, to
use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade
names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business
identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or
hereafter acquired

                                    - 52 -
<PAGE>
by the Borrower, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license
reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof.

               (f)  The Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually
received by the Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of
the Collateral to payment of the Term Loan Obligations, in whole or in part and
in such order as the Agent may elect, whether or not then due.  The Borrower and
Obligors shall remain liable to the Agent and Lenders for the payment of any
deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs
and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees and
expenses.

give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions
and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations)
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the
purposes hereof and thereof.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the

                                    - 53 -
<PAGE>
Term Loan), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be
binding upon all Lenders and all makers of the Term Loan; provided, however,
that and the Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the
reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

          Section 8.02   Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents.  The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature.  The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is
intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set
forth herein or therein.  Each Lender shall make its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Term Loan hereunder and
shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the
value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the Term Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided
that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, the Agent shall provide to such
Lender any documents or reports delivered to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  If the Agent seeks
the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from
taking any action hereunder, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender.
The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders
have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

          Section 8.03   Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agent and its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i)
may treat the payee of the Term Loan as the owner thereof until the Agent
receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to
Section 9.07, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii)
may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Agent or counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants, and other
experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice
of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any
Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any
Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default,
or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without

                                    - 54 -
<PAGE>
limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible
to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and
(vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding
the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the existence,
priority or perfection of the Agent's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared
by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or
liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral.  The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution
of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 3.04, and if any such
apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in
error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made,
shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which
they are determined to be entitled.  The Agent may at any time request
instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by
the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agent is
permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly
requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any
action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it
shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders.  Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders.

          Section 8.04   Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any
telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its
duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

          Section 8.05   Indemnification. To the extent that the Agent is not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and
indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
in proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation,
advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 8.08; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances
or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that
such liability resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment
in full of the Term Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

          Section 8.06   Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share
of the Total Term Loan Commitment hereunder and the Term Loan made by it, the
Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is
subject to the same obligations

                                    - 55 -
<PAGE>
and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or
maker of the Term Loan.  The terms "Lenders" or "Required Lenders" or any
similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the
Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders.
The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the
Borrower as if it were not acting as the Agent pursuant hereto without any duty
to account to the other Lenders.

          Section 8.07   Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior
written notice to the Borrower and each Lender.  Such resignation shall take
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to
clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

               (b)  Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall appoint a successor Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the Agent, and the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  After the Agent's
resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

               (c)  If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within
said thirty (30) Business Day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor
Agent who shall serve as the Agent until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

          Section 8.08   Collateral Matters.

               (a)  The Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and
advances ("Agent Advances") which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems
necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or
dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or
maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Term Loan and other Term
Loan Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and
expenses as described in Section 9.04.  The Agent Advances shall be repayable on
demand and be secured by the Collateral.  The Agent Advances shall constitute
Term Loan Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in
accordance with Section 3.02.  The Agent shall notify each Lender and the
Borrower in writing of each such Agent Advance, which notice shall include a
description of the purpose of such Agent Advance.  Without limitation to its
obligations pursuant to Section 8.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make
available to the Agent, upon the Agent's demand, in Dollars in immediately
available funds, the amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each such
Agent Advance.  If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such
Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment
was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate.

                                    - 56 -
<PAGE>
               (b)  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its
option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the
Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Term Loan Commitment and
payment and satisfaction of the Term Loan and all other Term Loan Obligations
which have matured and which the Agent has been notified in writing are then due
and payable; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of the Borrower's business and in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the
Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time
thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders.
Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to
this Section 8.08(b).

               (c)  Without in any manner limiting the Agent's authority to act
without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set
forth in Section 8.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon
request by the Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the
Agent under Section 8.08(b).  Upon receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the
Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral,
and upon prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the
Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the
Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligations
or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse
or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or
impair the Term Loan Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of the
Borrower in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by the
Borrower.

               (d)  The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender
to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared
for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to
the Agent in this Section 8.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or
event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate,
in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one
of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to
any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

          Section 8.09   Agency for Perfection.  Each Lender hereby appoints the
Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting
the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in
accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only
by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with
possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured
party) and the Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds
possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders as secured party.  Should any Lender obtain possession or
control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall

                                    - 57 -
<PAGE>
notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent's request therefor shall
deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent's
instructions.  The Borrower by its execution and delivery of this Agreement
hereby consents to the foregoing.

of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed

without the written consent of each Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent,
affect the rights or duties of the Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender)
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          Section 9.03   No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of the
Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The
rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders provided herein and in the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive
of, any rights or remedies provided by law.  The rights of the Agent and the
Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or
contingent on any attempt by the Agent and the Lenders to exercise any of their
rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other
Person.

          Section 9.04   Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys' Fees. The Borrower will pay

any Loan Document: (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer,
recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter
determined by the Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to save the Agent
and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims,
liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or
delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions, (y) the Borrower agrees to
pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions

authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower

extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
Indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or such Lender to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrower against any and all obligations of the Borrower
either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of
whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or
thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.  The
Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such
set-off and application made by the Agent or such Lender provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.  The rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 9.05
are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of
set-off) which the Agent and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents of law or otherwise.

          Section 9.06   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 portions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          Section 9.07   Assignments and Participations. (a) This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower and the

                                    - 60 -
<PAGE>
Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that none of the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such
assignment without the Lenders' prior written consent shall be null and void.

               (b)  Each Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent,
assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loan made by it); provided,
however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $1,000,000
or a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender's
Term Loan Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an
assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account
managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender), (ii) the parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance, an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such
assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Agent a processing and
recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required
in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a
fund or account managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender) and (iii)
no written consent of the Agent shall be required in connection with any
assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account
managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.  Upon such execution,
delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business
Days after the delivery thereof to the Agent (or such shorter period as shall be
agreed to by the Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee
thereunder shall become a "Lender" hereunder and, in addition to the rights and
obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have
the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto).

                    (i)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and
agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (B) the assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the
financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (D) such assignee will,

                                    - 61 -
<PAGE>
independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, the Agent or any
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (E) such assignee
appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (F) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

                    (ii)   The Borrower authorizes the Agent, and the Agent
agrees, to maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register
(the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders
and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amount of the Term Loan (the
"Registered Loans") owing to each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

                    (iii)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any promissory
notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if the Agent consents to such
assignment and if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein
in the Register.

                    (iv)   A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered
note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or sale of all or part of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register,
together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same
duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request
of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes
in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s).  Prior to the registration of assignment or sale
of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same),
the Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof
for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

                    (v)    In the event that any Lender sells participations in
a Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the
name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the "Participant
Register").  A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the
same) may be participated in whole or in part

                                    - 62 -
<PAGE>
only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each
registered note shall expressly so provide).  Any participation of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant
Register.

                    (vi)   Any foreign Person who purchases or is assigned or
participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall provide the Agent and
the Lender with a completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (Certificate of
Foreign Status) or a substantially similar form for such purchaser, participant
or any other affiliate who is a holder of beneficial interests in the Registered
Loan.

               (c)  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loan made by it); provided,
that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including without
limitation, its Term Loan Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower,
the Agent and the other Lenders 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; and (iii) a participant shall not be
entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder
except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or
decrease in the principal amount of the Term Loan, (B) action directly effecting
an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on
the Term Loan or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly
effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any
Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 8.08 or any other Loan Document).
The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 2.08 and Section 3.05 respect to its participation in any portion of
the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loan as if it was a Lender.

          Section 9.08   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier shall be equally as effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Any party
delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier also shall
deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to
deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity,
enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall apply
to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

          Section 9.09   GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN
RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF
NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY,
THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  EACH THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN Section 9.01 AND TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH
MAILING.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT
REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY
ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS
(WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN
AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

          Section 9.11   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND
EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR

THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR
COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.  THE BORROWER
CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER

                                    - 64 -
<PAGE>
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS.  THE BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO
THIS AGREEMENT.

          Section 9.12   Consent by the Agent and Lenders. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval,
satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an
"Action") of the Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to
any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any the
Borrower is a party and to which the Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto,
such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by
the Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason,
and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such
Action was not taken in good faith.

          Section 9.13  No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

          Section 9.14   Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever
made upon the Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received by the Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of
the Term Loan Obligations, the Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of
such claim to each other Lender and the Borrower, and if the Agents, such Lender
repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order
of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent or such
Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise
of any such claim effected by the Agent or such Lender with any such claimant,
then and in such event the Borrower agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree,
order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the
cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall
be and remain liable to the Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so
repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally
been received by the Agent or such Lender.

          Section 9.15   Indemnification.

               (a) General Indemnity.  In addition to the Borrower's other Term
Loan Obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and all of their
respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the
Funding Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or
arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the
negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the
Agent's or any Lender's furnishing of funds to the Borrower for the account of
the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan

                                    - 65 -
<PAGE>
Documents, including, without limitation, the management of the Term Loan (iii)
any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the
"Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any
obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified
Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee,
as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

               (b)  Environmental Indemnity.  Without limiting Section 9.15(a),
the Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees
against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees
and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of (i) any
Releases or threatened Releases (x) at any property presently or formerly owned
or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any
predecessor in interest, or (y) of any Hazardous Materials generated and
disposed of by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any
predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) any
Environmental Action relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower,
or any predecessor in interest; (iv) any personal injury (including wrongful
death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to
Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any predecessor in interest; and
(v) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters
made by the Borrower herein, or the breach of any covenant made by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any
Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any potential environmental
matter covered hereunder which is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

               (c)  The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses,
damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the
Loan Account.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in this Section 9.15 may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall, jointly and
severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.  The indemnities set forth in this Section
9.15 shall survive the repayment of the Term Loan Obligations and discharge of
any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

          Section 9.16   Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the
Term Loan, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and
interest, the duration of such applicability, the Term Loan Commitments, and the
accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 shall at all times be
ascertained from the records of the Agent, which shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error.

          Section 9.17   Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective
when it

                                    - 66 -
<PAGE>
shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and when the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 hereof have been satisfied or
waived in writing by the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to
assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by
Section 9.07 hereof.

          Section 9.18  Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
the Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan
Document would be usurious as to the Agent or any Lender under laws applicable
to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New
York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to the
Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement),
then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for the Term Loan Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the
aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable
to the Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or
received by the Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Term Loan Obligations
shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such
applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore
paid shall be credited by the Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of
the Term Loan Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the
Term Loan Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded
by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the
event that the maturity of the Term Loan Obligations is accelerated by reason of
any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any
required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes
interest under law applicable to the Agent or any Lender may never include more
than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if
any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically
by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration
or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Term Loan Obligations (or,
to the extent that the principal amount of the Term Loan Obligations shall have
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Lender to
the Borrower).  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender
for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent
permitted by law applicable to the Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Term Loan until payment in
full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Term Loan
hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law.  If
at an time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to the Agent
or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to the Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.18 and (y) in
respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest
otherwise payable to the Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of
interest payable to the Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to the Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to
the Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation
period shall continue to be computed at the

                                    - 67 -
<PAGE>
Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Lender until the total
amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Lender shall equal the total
amount of interest which would have been payable to the Agent or such Lender
if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this
Section 9.18.

          For purposes of this Section 9.18, the term "applicable law" shall
mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction
between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the
other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest
permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and
this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent
controlling, laws of the United States of America.

          The right to accelerate the maturity of the Term Loan Obligations does
not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the
date of acceleration.

          Section 9.19   Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender agrees (on
behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and
representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in
accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information
of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable
commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is
identified in writing by the Borrower as being confidential at the time the same
is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not
thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another
source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person
not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the
disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule,
regulation or judicial process, (ii) to counsel for the Agent or any Lender,
(iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties, (iv) in
connection with any litigation to which the Agent or any Lender is a party or
(v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so
long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant)
first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in
substance to this Section 9.19.  The Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon
receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure
pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the
Borrower informed of such request or identification; provided that the each the
Borrower acknowledges that the Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof
and that the Agent and each Lender may be subject to review by Securitization
Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or
otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or
agencies any such non-public information.

          Section 9.20   Integration. This Agreement, together with the other
Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified
by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
